Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 95 Useful Pawn

Alistair put the pillow back in its proper place. After a moment's deliberation, he inched his own pillow closer to Caroline's until they were practically touching. Lost in a reverie, he could picture himself lying beside her in bed, their noses almost brushing as they stared into each other's eyes with adoration. Damn it!

Caroline had told him that he could pick any car he liked and have the driver take him wherever he needed to go.

According to his initial schedule, Alistair was supposed to head back to his hometown today.

He'd planned to set off in the morning and be back before it was time to pick up Eloise. There was no way he'd miss that, no matter

A pang of sadness hit him, but he had to admit that the yard looked far nicer than he'd recalled.

This was his first return since the house was sold.

The elderly couple who'd purchased the house used to live in the city center. After retiring, they'd decided to relocate to this suburban cottage to enjoy their

retirement. They were incredibly kind. Before Alistair's last departure, they'd even told him that if he ever yearned for home, he was welcome to come back and stay for a few days as there were spare rooms.

Alistair's arrival delighted the old folks.
