Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Like a Stranger

Mabel needed time to recover. Once they calmed her down, Alistair and Caroline got ready to leave.

Before they stepped out, Mabel reminded them softly, "Tell little Eloise I've just been busy lately and won't be home. If she misses Nugget, take her to visit."

"Got it," Alistair replied.

His hand was just on the doorknob when someone pushed the door open from the outside.

A tall man in a dark suit entered. His features were sharp, his expression stern, and he carried a natural aura of command.

In person, Gordon was even more intimidating than the photos online.

Alistair had imagined what their first meeting might be like, but he'd never expected it to happen in a hospital.

Their eyes met. Gordon's gaze landed squarely on Alistair's face.

The tension in the air was immediate, but only for Alistair.

What am I supposed to call him?

The question paralyzed him.

He and Caroline were legally married. Everyone around her had accepted him. Mabel had even offered her support.

Caroline herself had said her choices were hers alone and no one

else got a say.

Still, standing in front of her father, Alistair felt obligated to show some respect. It would've been rude not to.

But how exactly should he address him?

Calling him too intimately didn't feel right.

Who am I kidding? There's no way he likes me. So... sir?
