Eloise hesitated before asking, "Are you... worried about Ms. Dawson?" "She's my fiancée, after all. She represents the image of the Sutton family. Besides, if something happened to her, I'd have to explain it to Grandma." With that, Kieran got into his car without another word. Eloise's expression turned complex. Was it because of that?
