Alistair tiptoed out of bed and went to his old room to freshen up.

He immediately noticed something was off about the placement of the toiletries.

When workers had been renovating this room during the day, Alistair had supervised the entire process-not because he was paranoid, but because he naturally took on the responsibility of overseeing things while the owner was away.

Eloise nodded understandingly. "Yes, Mommy works so hard. I hope she comes home early today. I want to give her a back massage."

"Good girl."

Alistair stared at Eloise's hair, a wild mess from her sleep, and couldn't decide what to do.

He could handle laundry, cooking, housework, and taking the child to and from school without any problem, but he had never
