Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 51 Sleep With Mommy

"No matter how they tried to explain, Eloise stubbornly equated "sleeping in separate rooms" with "fighting and being angry."

Apparently, Zoe's parents had a huge argument yesterday over something and even mentioned divorce. Zoe had been crying all day at preschool.

Eloise, being a good friend, had spent half the day comforting her, secretly grateful that her own parents never fought.

But when Eloise heard that Zoe's parents were sleeping

in separate rooms after their fight, her heart dropped. She remembered that Alistair and Caroline slept in separate rooms too.

They have been fighting behind my back?

Worry clouded Eloise's mind as she rushed to Caroline's room the moment she got home. There was only one pillow on Caroline's bed. She darted to Alistair's room. Only one pillow there too!

Eloise froze in shock.

It hit her like a thunderbolt. Her comforting belief that her parents had a good relationship, that they loved each other and her, and would always stay together all of it crumbled to dust in an instant.

At just five years old, Eloise could already envision the day her parents would divorce.

Mom won't leave me, but what if Dad gets kicked out by Mom and

can never come home again, just like Zoe's dad? No, I want Mom and Dad to be together forever!

The more Eloise thought about it, the more upset she became, until she finally burst into tears.

"Mom, Dad, please don't fight anymore, okay?" she sobbed, taking Alistair's and Caroline's hands and joining them together.

Alistair's heart nearly melted at the sight of Eloise's tears. "Okay, I promise you, Eloise. We won't fight anymore."

Eloise turned to Caroline. "What about Mom?"

"Mom promises to never fight with Dad again," Caroline said gently.

But Eloise wasn't satisfied. "I want you to stay together forever and ever. No divorcing!"

"Deal!" Alistair agreed without hesitation.

It was a well-intended lie, but even as he made the firm promise,
