Chapter 21 Stay Away From My Husband

Eloise’s lips quivered as she fought back tears.

This lady is so mean! She is not as pretty as Mom and not as gentle either. She is like an angry monster!

She timidly hid behind Alistair, who protectively wrapped an arm around her shoulders. Eloise immediately felt safe again.

Daddy will protect me!

Alistair’s face darkened with anger. “Rebecca, what the hell is wrong with you?”

Before Rebecca could respond, a stunningly beautiful woman with an elegant figure and exceptional poise approached them. She deliberately took Alistair’s arm right before Rebecca, fixing her with an icy stare. “Excuse me,” she said mockingly, “I’d appreciate it if you’d keep your distance from my husband, or I’ll be forced to take less pleasant measures.”

Rebecca stood frozen in shock as she watched the family of three walk away from her.

“Did I mistake someone else for Alistair? Did I confuse a man who looks like him with the real Alistair?” she questioned herself. “No, that can’t be right. He is Alistair–he called me by

Chapter 21 Stay Away From My Husband name without hesitation!”

Rebecca felt her mind spinning as she stood there, completely disoriented.

How was this possible? In just one day, Alistair suddenly had a wife and child?

Maybe she’d somehow slipped into a parallel universe!

Rebecca’s thoughts were a jumbled mess. Feeling desperate and confused, she finally decided to call Vivienne.

Vivienne was exasperated when she saw Rebecca’s name on her phone.

Hadn’t we agreed to never speak to each other again? It hadn’t even been that long, and now she was calling!

She reluctantly answered the call, only to hear Rebecca rambling incoherently, asking if she knew about Alistair having a wife and

children.

Vivienne was utterly stunned. She wondered if Rebecca wast having some kind of breakdown.

How could Alistair have a wife and kids when he had just divorced her? Setting aside their bitter history momentarily, she asked with genuine concern, “Rebecca, are you okay?”

She looked back and breathed a huge sigh of relief when she saw Rebecca hadn’t followed them.

Alistair gently stroked her head. “Don’t be afraid.”

His body had gone rigid.

He could barely coordinate his steps.

Caroline’s perfume filled his nostrils with every breath.

His entire left side felt numb–if this continued, he might end up paralyzed!

Caroline was still holding onto his left arm.

The gesture brought her upper body uncomfortably close to his. Through their light spring clothing, he could feel the softness of her body. Anyone watching them would assume they were an affectionate married couple or lovers walking intimately together.

Caroline stole a glance at Alistair. Her eyes traveled from his collar to his neck, then to his Adam’s apple, finally settling on his ear, which was just inches away.

Under the streetlight, Alistair’s carlobes had turned so red they looked like they might drip blood.

She pressed her lips together, struggling to suppress the smile

Chapter 21 Stay Away From My Husband that threatened to spread across her face.

Wasn’t he supposed to be a divorced man with a five–year–old son? Why was he acting like an innocent teenager who had never been close to a woman before?

She reluctantly released his arm. As her soft body moved away, Alistair felt like he could breathe again. He exhaled a long, silent sigh of relief.

If she hadn’t let go, Alistair was sure he might have suffocated to death in the next second.

Though Caroline appeared delicate on the surface, her aura wast domineering and aggressive. When she approached him, Alistair felt the surrounding air grow thin, making it almost impossible. for him to breathe.

The moment she left, the air immediately returned to normal.

“Was she…?” Caroline feigned hesitation.

“Yeah.” Alistair nodded apologetically. “Sorry, she scared you both.”

Caroline smiled, “I’m not that easily frightened.”

She looked down at Eloise, who walked on Alistair’s other side. “Eloise, don’t be scared. That lady isn’t quite right up here,” she said, tapping her temple.

Chapter 21 Stay Away From My Husband doesn’t she see a doctor then?”

Caroline seemed to think of something and turned to look at Alistair. “I hope you don’t mind me saying that. But her mental state did seem a bit concerning, didn’t it?”

Alistair took a moment to process what was happening when a pleasant, subtle perfume enveloped him. Caroline leaned in close and whispered so only he could hear, “Living with her. must be exhausting. Don’t worry, I won’t make things so difficult for you.”

Mom and Dad get along so well! I don’t have to worry anymore!

Surprisingly, Eloise wasn’t grateful for the help. “I’m not tired. at all, Dad! Mom’s the one who’s tired. Why don’t you carry her instead? Mom needs a hug.”

Chapter 21 Stay Away From My Husband Alistair was speechless.

Caroline gave him a playful glance, a fleeting teasing look in her eyes. “But Mom can push through a little longer. I’m too heavy, and it would be too much work for Dad.”
