Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 53 Will You Behave in Your Sleep?

Caroline's semi-dry hair fell loosely around her shoulders in a fluffy cloud. She stared in frustration at Alistair's retreating back as he walked toward the bedroom door.

After everything she'd said, after all this "self-sacrifice," if Alistair was still hemming and hawing, she had to wonder if she had any appeal as a woman in his eyes at all.

She couldn't help thinking back to their first meeting. When

Alistair saw her, there hadn't been that spark of amazement in his

eyes, had there?

Unlike other girls, Caroline didn't obsess over her appearance.

Still, from people's reactions throughout her life, she knew she was pretty damn gorgeous.

Her looks were actually the least remarkable thing about her. She preferred keeping a low profile and staying out of the spotlight. But life had other plans. Her striking beauty always brought her the kind of attention she never asked for.

Caroline hated how guys would practically pop their eyeba... out staring at her. It made her skin crawl.

Yet when someone-namely Alistair-completely ignored her beauty, she couldn't help overthinking it.

Maybe she really did have double standards, just like Alistair had pointed out.

Of course, the real reason was simple. She cared about Alistair. That was why his opinion of her mattered so much.

Seeing Alistair's hand already on the doorknob, Caroline blurted out impatiently, "What are you doing now?"

Her voice carried a note of disappointment she didn't even notice

herself.

Alistair scratched his head. "There's only one blanket on the bed. I'm going to grab mine."

Otherwise, sharing one blanket would definitely turn nothing into something! "Oh. Fine, go ahead then," Caroline replied coolly.

The moment Alistair left, Caroline covered her face, mortified. Thank goodness she'd kept her composure. She'd almost let Alistair see how flustered she really
