Chapter 107 The Adopted Child
"Why isn't Mom up yet? Is she feeling unwell?"
During breakfast, Eloise didn't see Caroline. Glancing at the firmly
closed bedroom door, her little face revealed obvious concern.
Alistair had anticipated the question and prepared his response carefully. “Mom had some unexpected work last night and stayed up very late, so she needs to catch up on her sleep today."
Lying wasn't good, but this was a necessary white lie told with good intentions.
Before taking Eloise to kindergarten, Alistair made a point to check himself in the mirror.
He buttoned his shirt all the way to the top collar, making absolutely certain that none of the suspicious, intimate marks underneath were visible. Only then did he feel comfortable leading Eloise downstairs.
Hearing the front door close, Caroline stirred lazily under the blanket. Every inch of her body ached as if she had been completely disassembled and then roughly put back together.
Yet she knew perfectly well that Alistair had been very restrained and gentle.

She drifted back into a hazy sleep. Some time later-she wasn't sure how long- she sensed someone watching her.
In the past, when she'd experienced sleep paralysis, she'd often felt someone standing by her bed. The terrifying sensation of wanting to open her eyes to check but being completely unable to was something she'd never forget.
But now, even though she clearly sensed someone watching her from beside the bed, she felt completely at ease. She knew without a doubt it was Alistair.
She hadn't slept enough and wanted to drift off again, but she also wanted to see the person by her bed. Even though he was completely hers now, and she could look at him whenever she wanted.
When she finally opened her eyes and saw him, memories of their intimate night together flooded back. She shyly pulled the cotton blanket up to hide her blushing face, revealing only her large eyes, slightly misty with sleep.
A twinge of guilt washed over Alistair.
It had been the first time for both of them. Despite how careful and gentle Alistair had tried to be, he'd still caused her discomfort.

Next time, he promised himself, he would be even more attentive.
The thought of next time, and the time after that, and countless more times in their future together...
Caroline's shy, vulnerable expression made Alistair's Adam's apple bob involuntarily. "Are you hungry?" he asked in a soft
voice.
