Chapter 135 Daddy's Little Sweetheart18 min leftEither Alistair's memory was playing tricks on him or the weather really was getting hotter. By late April, temperatures had soared to 90°F, making long sleeves impossible to wear.It was definitely time for Eloise to break out her pretty dresses.Alistair never had to worry about clothes. They were delivered regularly, all designer brands and custom pieces he couldn't possibly wear through.Caroline clearly didn't expect him to wear every single item. She just loved taking care of every detail for her husband.Thankfully, Alistair hated shopping, or he would have robbed herof that simple pleasure!But Caroline took a different approach with Eloise.Now that their daughter was growing up, they needed to respect her own tasteand preferences.When buying clothes for Eloise, they let her choose what sheliked.Eloise had grown taller, and none of her cute dresses fit anymore.21:52Chapter 135 Daddy's Little Sweetheart17 min leftWhen picking her up from school, Alistair noticed some of the other kids wearing pretty dresses. “Eloise, would you like to wear dresses too?" he asked.Eloise nodded, swaying her head playfully. "How can a princess not have princess dresses?"Alistair burst out laughing, "You're absolutely right! Come on, let's go buy you some new dresses!"Eloise jumped up and down with excitement. "Dad, you're the best! You're the greatest dad in the whole world!"See how easy kids are to please?Of course, having survived five years with Daniel, Alistair knewnot all children were this sweet and innocent.Thankfully, Eloise was the absolute cutest.As they walked hand in hand, Eloise bounced along beside him,her pigtails bobbing up and down with each happy skip.The young shop assistant greeted them with a warm smile. "Welcome to ourstore." Her eyes landed on Alistair and lit up.Hot damn, what a gorgeous guy!21:52Chapter 135 Daddy's Little Sweetheart17 min leftToo bad she was working-no chance to ask for his number. Then, her gaze dropped to the little girl, and her heart melted.What an adorable little cutie! If only I had a daughter this precious!Behind her professional smile, her mind was racing.Are they brother and sister? They are just too cute together!She wouldn't mind one bit if her mom decided to have another baby, especially if she got a sister as pretty and sweet as Eloise.Just as that thought crossed her mind, Eloise looked up with the sweetest voice imaginable. “Daddy, which dress do you think looks prettier on me?"The assistant froze, her inexperienced face unable to hide hershock.A hot guy who looks my age is actually a little girl's dad?! No wonder I've barely seen any gorgeous men in mytwenty-something years. All the good ones get snatched up early! So unfair!Alistair knew exactly what to say. "You're beautiful. You look great in everything."21:52Chapter 135 Daddy's Little Sweetheart(**) 17 min leftEloise grinned from ear to ear, mimicking his answer. "You're handsome too,Daddy. You look good in everything you wear!"Alistair didn't have a humble bone in his body. "Well, of course Ido!"Eloise acted like a little grown-up as she browsed through theclothing racks with Alistair following behind, offering his opinions."This one's pretty... that one's nice too... oh, and I really like that one over there," Eloise muttered, overwhelmed by all the cute options in the children's store.Alistair shrugged. "If you like them, let's get them all."For someone with deep pockets like him, buying every prettydress in the store to make his daughter happy was as casual as breathing.Eloise finally picked out two dresses, but Alistair wasn't satisfied."Just two? Grab a few more."Eloise shook her head. "No need, Daddy. Two is plenty for me. Iknow how hard you and Mommy work for your money."Alistair's heart melted at her words.For that sweet comment alone, he'd happily buy every princess21:52Chapter 135 Daddy's Little Sweetheartdress in New York if she wanted!(0) 17 min leftAfter paying, he led Eloise out of the children's boutique, thinking about what treathe could get her next. Just then, his phonevibrated in his pocket.He checked the caller ID, and his expression tightened. After listening to the person on the other end for a few moments, he replied with a terse "I understand," and ended the call.Alistair knelt down to Eloise's level with a smile. "Eloise, Ihave to take care of something. Would you mind going to great-grandma's for now? Mom and I will come get you as soon asI'm done, okay?""Sure, Daddy. Go do your work," Eloise replied obediently.Once the car carrying Eloise had driven away, Alistair's face darkened as he putthe phone back to his ear. "Where is he now?"he demanded.The caller was one of the bodyguards assigned to protect his family. The guardhad just informed him that a suspicious person had been following them from the kindergarten.The bodyguard had taken photos of the man and sent them to Alistair to see if he recognized him.21:52Chapter 135 Daddy's Little SweetheartnoveldramaAlistair identified him immediately. It was Caleb.17 min leftHeartbroken and unemployed, he stood there in plain jeans and a white button- up. All the life had been drained from him-no trace of his former confidence remained. His unshaven face and disheveled appearance made him look like astray dog that peoplecrossed the street to avoid.At the intersection, Caleb scanned the crowds desperately, tryingto spot Alistair and Eloise again.He'd followed them all the way from Eloise Academy without any problems untilsomeone bumped into him. When he looked backup, they were gone.He swore under his breath. So he'd lost them today-fine. There was alwaystomorrow. "I'm not giving up that easily, Alistair," hemuttered to himself."Looking for someone? Me, perhaps?"The mocking voice behind him made Caleb nearly jump out of his skin. He spunaround to find Alistair standing there with anamused half-smile.In the bustling intersection, Alistair cut a striking figure in his perfectly tailored suit.His calm, confident smile and relaxed posture formed a stark contrast to Caleb's disheveled state.21:52Chapter 135 Daddy's Little Sweetheart(+) 17 min leftSomething about Alistair's commanding presence made Caleb instinctively stepback.A cold smile crossed Alistair's face. "You wanted something fromme?"Caleb was furious with himself for showing weakness in front ofAlistair.What's there to be afraid of? He's just some gold-digging loser who got lucky witha rich woman. If he hadn't married into money,he'd be nothing.Caleb shot him a cold smile. “Drop the act. You think I can't tell how smug you areright now?"Alistair clicked his tongue. "Caleb, I'm seriously worried about you. I'm not justfeeling smug. I'm absolutely gloating right now. Are you blind? How can you not see that?"Caleb was speechless. He glared at Alistair, rage and helplessness written all over his face. "Our family is ruined because of you. Happy now?""Please," Alistair scoffed. "You guys did this to yourselves."Caleb's jaw tightened. "You'll get what's coming to you!"21:52Flash Marriage to a Stunning CE
