Chapter 147 Eloise's Story

"Honey, do you really know who Leo is?"

Caroline's question dropped out of the blue like that, completely

sideswiping Alistair.

Okay, if I'm not mistaken, he's her actual cousin, right?

But Alistair knew Caroline well enough to know she wouldn't ask

something so blindingly obvious.

And he already knew about the musical genius, the mega-star

than Caroline herself.

Right before she went into labor, she'd somehow managed to track down Caroline's email address. Maybe she'd had some kind of premonition, a feeling that she wasn't going to make it because she'd sent Caroline an email, a desperate plea for Leo to come

and see her one last time.

She'd promised she would never, ever bother him again.

Over a year later, Caroline finally logged into that old email account and stumbled across the message. She'd been stunned. After a ton of digging and dead ends, she finally found Eloise, a tiny, underweight, sickly little girl.
