Chapter 142 Sharp-tongued Eloise
Richard looked at Eloise, who stood with a dead-serious expression on her tiny face, and couldn't help but chuckle.

He'd seen the way Daniel looked at him just now. Every flicker of
emotion in that little face-he caught it all.
Daniel was a brat, no question. But no kid turned into that on their own. The
blame sat squarely with the adults around him. And though Alistair had been the one changing diapers and waking up at 3 AM, he'd never truly been Daniel's parent. Just the guy hired
