Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 154 Eloise Wanted a Little Brother

Leo's concert went on as scheduled.

Amusingly enough, he sent Caroline several tickets, prime seats, nearly

impossible to buy even at outrageous prices.

He knew she wouldn't attend. The gesture was more symbolic than anything, a quiet offering of goodwill.

That night, footage of the concert lit up every major streaming platform.

Out of mild curiosity, Alistair wondered how Leo had managed to perform with that bruise still fresh on his face. After a quick search, he found that Leo had cleverly used exaggerated stage makeup to cover it up. The quirky new look was so different from his usual style that it actually sparked a wave of buzz and fascination among his fans.

Since helping Leo finally recognize the disturbing level of control Paige held over his life, things had been calm for Alistair and Caroline.

It was just after nine in the evening when Eloise drifted off to sleep, clutching her small brown teddy bear.

Ever since Caroline brought Eloise home, she had bought her countless toys.

Back then, she had been juggling school and the early stages of her career, often relying on others to help care for her.

One evening, on her way home, she passed by a shop and spotted the bear. She bought it on a whim, hoping to cheer Eloise up.

She remembered smiling as she handed it to her daughter and saying, "See this little brown bear? This is Mommy. When I'm not around, it'll stay with you, okay?"

Eloise had only been a little over a year old then, but after so much time and effort, she had already begun forming an attachment to Caroline.

Caroline wasn't sure whether Eloise had fully understood those words, but at some point, she began noticing that Eloise would only fall asleep with the bear in her arms.

Eventually, the little bear became her comfort object.

Wherever they stayed, it came with them. Without it, Eloise would cry herself into a panic.

Caroline, always cautious, had quietly ordered an entire box of identical bears- just in case it ever went missing. But to this day, the original bear had never let them down. It had stayed faithfully by Eloise's side, night after night.
