Chapter 35 Alistair Said He Loved Her
Mr. Vaughn: [Today is Saturday. Has Ms. Ashbourne gone home?]
Agnes: [Yes.]
Mr. Vaughn sent a screenshot of a transfer to Agnes.
Agnes: [But Ms. Ashbourne brought a man back today.]
Mr. Vaughn panicked and sent a 60–second voice note.
Agnes replied: [OK, I’ll take a picture and send it to you.]
Mr. Vaughn sent another screenshot of a transfer and replied: [Thanks a lot.]
The so–called Mr. Vaughn Agnes chatted with was a suitor of Caroline named Preston Vaughn.
Preston was madly obsessed with Caroline. He was tossing and turning every night because he couldn’t get the love he wanted. He even bribed someone around Mabel to pass on relevant information about Caroline to him.
Upon learning that Caroline, who was always aloof and unapproachable, had brought a man back home for the first.

time, Preston panicked and asked Agnes to secretly take some photos of Alistair. He wanted to investigate who dared to snatch a woman from him.
Mabel was kind–hearted. She usually didn’t care if the nannies broke things or did something wrong.
But since someone betrayed their family and leaked their privacy to outsiders, Mabel couldn’t stand it anymore.
She got angry immediately and told Agnes to pack up and leave.
Agnes begged for mercy in tears, “Madam Ashbourne, Ms. Ashbourne! I was wrong. I shouldn’t have betrayed you for a little favor. Please forgive me since it’s my first time making a mistake. I swear I won’t do it again!”
One betrayal was enough to see a person clearly. When it came to such important issues, Mabel was no pushover.
Seeing that there was no room for maneuver, Agnes left the scene sadly.
Mabel was furious. “Blacklist that Vaughn guy and never allow him to set foot here again!”
The housekeeper lowered his eyes and replied, “Yes, Madam.”
“It’s your first day here. I’m sorry for what happened…”
As soon as Mabel started to speak, she was interrupted by Caroline. “Grandma, he is not a stranger. Why are you being so
Chapter 35 Alistair Said He Loved Her polite to him?”
Mabel was left speechless.
She still looked at Alistair with loving eyes.

Her expressions were different from the ones she had when she was with Caroline, as if she weren’t unsatisfied with the man
Caroline had married.
“Alistair, thank you. Otherwise, we’d keep such a treacherous person in the house, and it would be a disaster sooner or later.”
Mabel felt uncomfortable when she thought that someone was spying on them in the house.
Even if the other party had no ill intentions and just tried to achieve certain goals by playing petty tricks, she still felt
terrified.
Besides, no one could be sure that they had no ill intentions.
After this incident, Mabel began to re–examine Alistair.
Maybe I should let go of my prejudice.
Excellence should not be reflected solely by academic qualifications, family background, etc.
This young man Carol likes is not only good–looking, but also has strong insight.
Chapter 35 Alistair Said He Loved Her Isn’t this an advantage that others don’t have?
Everyone present looked at Alistair.

Alistair looked down at Eloise, who never left his side, unwilling to take credit for the success. “In fact, it was Eloise who made me alert.”
When Eloise saw Agnes, she showed her nervousness and timidity, which made Alistair subconsciously alert.
Caroline was extremely annoyed.
This happened the first time I brought Alistair back. Will it leave a bad influence on him? What if he feels that entering a wealthy family is terrible, or let him mistakenly think that I’m flirting with others…
Caroline seemed to see that on the road to guiding her into Alistair’s heart, there were two more obstacles that could not be ignored.
The excellent CEO, Caroline, who was calm and composed, wanted to clarify everything, but she knew this was obviously not a good time to do so.
Caroline wished she could cut Agnes into pieces.
Agnes begged that it was getting late, and she wanted to leave
tomorrow.
Mabel remained unmoved.

Under the supervision of the housekeeper, she went to her room to pack her things.
When she left, she seemed to glance over here unintentionally.
Alistair caught her gaze by accident, and his heart started beating for no reason.
Unrest surged like a tidal wave.
He had a bad feeling that something was going to happen.
The wind brought him the faint fragrance that he had been familiar with for a few days. Caroline walked to his side and looked over at him. “What are you thinking about?”
Alistair shook his head. “Nothing.”
In the end, it was just his vague intuition, lacking any evidence to support it.
What if I’m just overthinking it?
Caroline’s mood dropped a little because of his nonchalant reply.
Caroline frowned.
There’s obviously something going on, but he just doesn’t want to tell me.

Chapter 35 Alistair Said He Loved Her Caroline tucked the loose hair behind her ears and said, “Alistair, luckily there are only two of us right now; otherwise, they would have figured out something was up.”
Alistair was stunned. “Sorry, I-”
Caroline replied, “Real couples won’t apologize all the time.”
Alistair didn’t know how to reply.
He suddenly felt that Caroline was a bit harsh. After all, they were not a real husband and wife.
Even if they were a real couple, they had known each other for just a few days.
Caroline then explained, “Don’t get me wrong. I just want to remind you that you should be careful with your actions in front. of my grandma. If we are too polite to each other…”
She suddenly leaned over and whispered, “My grandma has very sharp eyes. If we are not careful, she may find out the truth, and then all our efforts will be in vain.”
Her breath sprayed on Alistair’s face. Alistair paused and felt that the air around him had become a lot thinner.
Subconsciously, he wanted to take a step back to distance himself, but someone passed by, and he held back. “Okay, I’ll be more careful.”
He was a little nervous.
Chapter 35 Alistair Said He Loved Her
He couldn’t imagine if their relationship was exposed…
7/12
He had been addicted to the fake family life. If this were a dream, he hoped to maintain it forever and did not want to wake up so early.
Caroline added, “I don’t even know what that guy looks like.”
The topic suddenly changed, and Alistair’s brain couldn’t keep
- up.
“I mean that man named Mr. Vaughn. I have nothing to do with him. Don’t think too much about it.”
Finally finding an opportunity to clarify, Caroline hurriedly explained.
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt as if she had washed off a spot of mud that someone had accidentally thrown at her, and the depressed feeling in her heart finally dissipated a little.
Alistair looked around.
Eloise was sitting on the swing in the garden, while Mabel was sitting beside her reading a story to her. Julian had disappeared.
Except for Mabel who looked up at them from time to time, Alistair was sure that no one noticed them.
Alistair wanted to say, “You don’t need to explain this to me.”
Chapter 35 Alistair Said He Loved Her On second thought, he paused.

Would a real husband not care if his wife is pursued by another man?
Considering the one–million–dollar payment a month, I really need to learn from Caroline and get into the role so as to avoid being seen through accidentally.
He followed her words and pretended to be relieved. “Really? Then I feel relieved.”
Caroline blinked her eyes. “So, honey, have you forgiven me?”
Now, she could fluently and naturally call him “honey.”
On the contrary, Alistair was not used to hearing that. He wast unsure how he should respond to that.
If he accepted that, he’d be considered to be taking advantage of her, but if he didn’t, he’d be considered unprofessional.
In the final analysis, it was because he had the wrong mindset. and had too many messy thoughts.
Caroline, however, was calm and open–minded, and she was not as shy as him, so she could call him honey without any psychological burden.
However, he had no idea that Caroline had ulterior motives toward him from the first moment she saw him.
Chapter 35 Alistair Said He Loved Her Alistair replied, “It’s not you who did anything wrong.”

Caroline said, “Honey, why are you so considerate? I love you even more!”
After saying that, she smiled at Alistair. That smile made the colorful blossoms behind her pale in comparison.
Alistair’s heart suddenly stopped, and his mind was in a mess. “Uh, I–I…”
Caroline waited patiently for his reply.
Alistair couldn’t even finish a sentence after a long time.
Caroline moved closer unwillingly.
Under the bright sunlight, her skin was as smooth as a baby’s.
Her expectation made Alistair feel that if he continued to hesitate like this, he would be like an unforgivable scumbag.
He made up his mind and replied, “I love you too!”
It was like a sharp blade soaked in a deadly hallucinogen, piercing Caroline’s heart in an instant.
Caroline stared at Alistair blankly.
The blood in her body suddenly coagulated, her mind went blank, and the entire colorful world became a huge backdrop. At this moment, there was only Alistair in her eyes.
Chapter 35 Alistair Said He Loved Her
Alistair was a little embarrassed at first, and Caroline’s surprised reaction made him feel at a loss.

Could it be that I’m too immersed in the role and don’t know how to control myself?
The word love is so sacred and noble. How can we say it casually?
But Caroline can say, and why can’t I…
Caroline quickly came back to her senses.
It seemed as if her absent–mindedness was just Alistair’s illusion.
Caroline asked, “That’s all?”
Alistair stared at her with a confused face.
She added, “Remember to add the word ‘baby‘ next time, otherwise, who will know who you really love?”
Alistair was left speechless.
After Caroline gave her instructions in a serious tone, she turned her head and looked at the scenery as if nothing had happened.
Gradually, a blush crept up on his face.
Even though she knew that Alistair said so under her “force”
Chapter 35 Alistair Said He Loved Her
and what Alistair said just now was not his real thoughts, Caroline didn’t care. Anyway, Alistair said he loved her.

Mabel looked at them who were huddled together and whispering.
She felt that she was full of contradictions.
When Caroline kept to herself, Mabel worried that she would be alone for the rest of her life.
When Caroline found her ideal husband as she wished, Mabel felt very uncomfortable for a while.
All in all, it happened too suddenly, and she didn’t have any time to prepare herself mentally.
No one would be used to it.
Caroline stroked Eloise’s face lovingly.
This is a poor child, but she is also very lucky to have met Caroline.
Mabel asked, “Eloise, do you like your dad?”
Eloise held a bottle and sipped it. She nodded vigorously after hearing this. “Of course I like him. My dad is so nice!”
Mabel smiled and said, “Well, as long as
you both like him.”
The only thing Mabel could do was to send her blessings to
Chapter 35 Alistair Said He Loved Her
them.
