Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

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

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
