Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 142

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 had a gift for smiling like a saint while cutting deep, and clearly,

he didn't draw the line at kindergarteners.

"Honey," he said smoothly. "There are all kinds of dads. Technically, he's your stepdad. Do you know what a stepdad is?"

newborn into a full-blown troublemaker. There was no one who

knew that child better than he did.

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
