Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 77 Dry Her Hair

When Caroline heard that Rebecca's son had tearfully called

Alistair "Dad" and that it had made Eloise fear losing her father,

she decided to transfer Eloise to a different kindergarten.

She knew Alistair wasn't stupid enough to get tangled up with his ex-wife. Still,

his clarity didn't mean Rebecca's family felt the

same. Rebecca's recent actions showed she clearly regretted leaving Alistair.

It served her right-too little, too late. Alistair was Caroline's now,

and no one would take him away.

She was jealous and possessive. Alistair was hers, plain and

simple. The mere thought of Rebecca eyeing him, let alone harboring any romantic notions, made her blood boil.

With both families' kids going to the same kindergarten and

having the same start and end times for school, they'd regularly

cross paths, even if the children weren't in the same class.

To avoid future drama and cut all ties between Alistair and

Rebecca, Caroline made up her mind to move Eloise.

Like Alistair, she worried Eloise would miss her new friends. But

Eloise didn't disappoint. When Caroline asked her about the

change, the little girl agreed immediately.
