Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 64 Old House

Caroline didn't even blink. "Oh really? What a coincidence."

Alistair gave a wry smile. He didn't push.

They passed through a neighborhood that hadn't aged well- rows of old, gray buildings lined up in irregular clumps. Even in spring, the place looked tired.

His childhood home had been sold off years ago, back when Liam

had decided to settle in New York.

That was when Alistair and his grandfather had begun renting

instead.

Liam had spun it well at the time. "I'll make it big in New York. Once I've got enough money, I'll bring you both over to live the good life."

Right. Great speech. Never happened. They'd never even spent a single night in Liam's new home.

Instead, Liam had sold Alistair, pocketed two million-and left

them behind.

Alistair let out a short, bitter laugh.

"Daddy, is this where you grew up?" Eloise asked, eyes wide, taking in everything around her.

Alistair nodded. "Yeah."

"That's so cool! I know even more about you now!"

A few blocks ahead, they passed a house covered in white ribbons and floral garlands, with a big sign out front reading, "Congratulations to the newlyweds!"

Alistair recognized the groom-they had gone to the same school, a troublemaker who'd started "dating" a girl in fifth grade.

His steps slowed. His gaze darted toward Caroline.

If he remembered correctly, Liam and the groom's father had once been sworn brothers.

Of course Liam would be back in town for the wedding.

Caroline noticed the shift in his expression and smiled. "Honey I wanted to do something for you. I didn't ask for your permission first. I hope you're not mad." Chapter 64 Old House
