Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 141 Ignored

The moment Eloise's feet touched the ground, she clutched two of Alistair's

fingers with her chubby little hands, not because she didn't want to hold more, but because her tiny hands could only

manage two.

Her grip was firm and urgent as she whispered, "Daddy, we need to hide! I'm not scared of him, I just don't want him to come over and steal you again! Hurry, Daddy, find a hiding spot!"

Alistair couldn't help smiling. The urgency in her eyes, the sweat on her brow... it was both funny and heartbreaking.

Is she really that scared of losing me?

Eloise was tugging him toward the crowd, whispering fiercely,

"Mommy's not here, so I have to watch you. If some other kid

takes you, I won't have a daddy anymore, and Mommy won't have a husband either. That's a huge problem. A really, really huge

problem!"

Alistair's chest tightened.

God, I love this kid.

How could he make her understand that he wasn't going anywhere? That she never had to worry about being replaced?

Seeing her scanning the crowd frantically for a hiding place, Alistair gently stopped her and crouched down to her level. "Don't be scared, Eloise," he said softly. "As long as I don't want to leave, no one can take me away."

Just as he finished speaking, a voice called out behind them, "Alistair?"

Richard had just bought Daniel a robotic puppy from a toy store. When he noticed the boy staring fixedly in a certain direction, he followed his gaze and saw someone he never expected to run into. A familiar figure, one that made his stomach twist.

Turning to Rebecca, who still looked completely out of it, he

asked, "Danny, do you miss your old dad?"

Daniel clutched the toy in his arms, his expression tense. After a long pause, something like hatred crossed his face. "I don't miss

him. He didn't want me. Now he's someone else's daddy. I hate

him."

Richard grinned.
