Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 76 No Feelings for Her?

As time ticked on, Caroline's whole body started burning up, not just her face. She felt like she was about to spontaneously combust.

Alistair wasn't faring much better. He was a young, healthy guy, after all.

All he could think about was that soft, warm body he'd held. The

image was stuck in his head like glue, and he couldn't get rid of it

no matter how hard he tried.

Alistair wanted to get up and head to the balcony for some fresh air, or maybe splash cold water on his face in the bathroom. Actually, a full-on cold shower sounded even better. But his body felt like it was made of concrete. He was too afraid to even twitch.

He was so embarrassed. He'd bragged to Caroline about being a perfect gentleman. And look at him now-one accidental hug, and he was a mess.

He started questioning himself big time. The more he thought about it, the worse

he felt. But weirdly, all that self-doubt actually cooled his hot-headedness. Eventually, he talked himself into feeling okay.

Well, it isn't all my fault. She's so soft, and I'm only human. People

should judge me by what I do, not what I think. I'm still a decent guy.

With that sorted in his head, he drifted off to sleep.

Hearing his slow, steady breathing, Caroline felt deflated. She couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with her.

She knew she was attractive, and plenty of guys had chased after her. So why did Alistair seem so uninterested?

They'd hugged tonight, for crying out loud! Wasn't he supposed

to feel something?

Caroline was smart, good-looking, and from a good family. This whole situation was driving her crazy.

What's the problem? Am I just not his type?

Then it hit her.

Her heart jumped into her throat.

What if... What if Alistair isn't into women at all?

Just like that, Caroline's flustered feeling vanished, replaced by

pure panic.
