Chapter 103 Secure

Caroline hadn't called back the person who had been keeping

an eye on Liam. However, there had been no updates relayed to Alistair in the past couple of days.

The weather had been relentlessly damp, with rain falling on and

off, the sky stubbornly overcast, refusing to clear up.

Now, it was pouring again, the rhythmic patter of raindrops

heralding the vibrant renewal of spring.

Mabel had sent Eloise some flower seeds, and the little girl was

thrilled, eagerly planting them in pots with Alistair's help.

The balcony was already a mini garden, filled with various plants

that they planned to take with them when they moved.

Though Alistair had grown attached to their current home, the

thought of their new place-just a few minutes' walk from Eloise's

new kindergarten-eased his reluctance.

Eloise could sleep a little longer.

After all, anywhere could feel like home as long as he had his wife and daughter by his side.

As Alistair helped Eloise plant the seeds, he glanced out the

The temperature had dropped with the rain, and he couldn't help but worry about Caroline.

She had just recovered from an illness, and he hoped she was staying warm.

Logically, he knew she spent most of her time indoors, barely

exposed to the elements.

But his heart refused to listen-this was just how family cared for

each other, wasn't it?

Once the seeds were planted, Eloise clasped her tiny hands

together, her voice earnest and hopeful.

"Seeds, seeds, please grow strong and bloom quickly. I promise I'll take good care of you!"

She even added with a solemn nod, "I swear!"

Alistair bit back a smile, feeling his heart warm. His little angel never failed to brighten his day.

He couldn't imagine what his life would have been like without Caroline and Eloise.
