Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 180 Grandpa

The car slowly rolled into the driveway of Ashbourne Manor. Before anyone could

help, Eloise unbuckled her seatbelt and leaped down from the child safety seat all

Nugget darted along behind her, hopping playfully.

Caroline held onto Alistair's arm as they walked over slowly. She leaned in and

whispered, "Does Grandma look a little off to you today?"

Normally makeup-free, Mabel had lightly powdered her face, curled her silver hair

into soft waves, and put on a deep plum dress with a delicate pearl necklace

around her neck.
