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."

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.
