Chapter 51
Chapter 51
Bonnie knew Danica’s concerns and respectfully nodded.
Paige, however, was a little surprised and thought, have they looked into the Tate family? Otherwise, why are they pulling long faces when they mention Tyrell and Lindsey?
Do they know that the Tate family used to bully me?
“Paige, if the Tate family comes to you ever again, tell me. I’ll deal with them.”
Danica felt that it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to be too direct, so she said tactfully. “If the Tate family wants to ask you to pay back for their kindness in raising you, I’ll talk to them.
“Of course, Madam Tate has been kind to you. Your dad and I are not ungrateful people”
Donald said kindly. “If they need help over at the hospital, such as paying expenses and switching to a VIP ward, tell me. I’ll make arrangements.
“I heard that Madam Tate is seriously ill. If she needs a famous doctor, you can tell us as well. We know that it is she who has brought you up all these years. If you want to repay and be filial, feel free to bring her home. We are all for it.”
“Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom.
Paige was even more sure that Donald and Danica must have investigated the Tate family
“Mr Lusk, Mrs. Lusk Mr. Stowe’s car is following behind.”
Ryker was driving. He glanced at the rearview mirror and said with a trembling voice, It has been following us for a while now.”
The license plate was so eye-catching that anyone could recognize it.
Paige was dumbfounded.
She thought, why is he following us?
Patricia clenched her fists and wondered the same thing. She figured that maybe it was because of Paige.
With such a thought, she was irritated. She wished Paige dead.
“Should I stop the car?”
Ryker was in a pickle.
Danica, however, was overjoyed. T’m sure Martin is here for Paige! Paige, get out of the car Your dad and I have to go somewhere else. We are not on your way as for now.” Paige was speechless hearing Danica’s words.
“She is right. Let Martin give you a ride home.
Donald let Ryker stop the car and said to Paige with a smile, “Go. What are you waiting for? Don’t keep Martin waiting.”
Danica simply opened the car door and pushed Paige out.
Paige didn’t know what to say.
She thought I got kicked out of the car by my birth parents?
“Mr Stowe, it seems that Ms. Paige has been kicked out of the car…”
Rhys widened his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.
The corners of Martin’s lips curled up. He pushed open the car door, took a few steps forward, pulled Paige into his arms, and looked at the green luxury car that was leaving, smiling meaningfully, “M*m and Dad are so sensible.”
“They are my mom and dad.” There was displeasure in Paige’s eyes.
She thought, if it wasn’t for you, why would I get kicked out of the car?
“Aren’t your parents my parents?”
Martin lowered his head and looked at Paige in his arms. The corners of his lips curled up. “Are we not a family?”
She didn’t say anything but thought, you’re getting cheekier every day. Who says that we are a family? “Didn’t I tell you to go back?
“Don’t tell me you haven’t eaten yet,” said Paige helplessly as she was pulled into the car
Rhys promptly explained, “Mr Stowe didn’t leave or grab a bite at all since he was waiting for you to come out.”
Paige felt that she was having a headache. Then you should go and find something to eat now. Stop the car. I will go home by myself.” Rhys was dumbfounded.
He thought, something is wrong, isn’t it?
“Go with me.
Martin held Paige’s hand and refused to let go. “You promised to stay with me. I want you to be with me now.”
Paige wondered if she was hearing things.
She thought, seriously? How can you ask me to compensate you like this?
Suddenly, Paige’s phone vibrated a few times. She took it out and saw that it was a call from Tyrell
Without any hesitation, Paige directly blocked Tyrell’s number
After a while, Tyrell sent her a Line message.
“Paige, why did you block my number? Unblock me. I’m your dad. I need to talk to you!”
Paige’s lips curved slightly She thought, when you sent me back to the poor village a few days back, you tried to distance yourself from me. And now you claim yourself as my dad? Seeing that she didn’t reply. Tyrell sent a few more messages to her on Line.
“The car you got in tonight is your family’s? I heard it costs 50 million dollars….
“What do your parents do? How can they afford a driver?”
“What the *said tonight is true? Did your parents really get us all those expensive gifts? Why didn’t you remind us?”
“You know what? If you have a minute, let’s go somewhere and talk…”
“You like Abbigail’s necklace, don’t you? I’ll bring it over to you. It’s a gift. Take it!”
After all those messages, Tyrell sent one more: “Most of all, I miss you. I want to see you.”
Paige smiled mockingly, blocked Tyrell on Line, and put the phone away, acting like nothing had happened.
“Someone is bothering you?
“Shall I deal with it?” Martin fiddled with her small hand.
“No need.”
Paige didn’t take the Tate family seriously at all. She looked indifferent.
“You can come to me if anything.”
He looked into her eyes. “You can leave everything that you don’t want to deal with or don’t bother to deal with to me.”
“Don’t you have better things to do?”
“As long as it’s about you, no matter how busy I am, I’ll always have time.”
Martin’s voice was with a touch of pampering as he said, “You are so young. Don’t act tough and face everything yourself”
She didn’t say anything.
“You have me. I’m always here.
“Remember? My baby Paige.” Martin stroked her head.
Paige was speechless for a second before saying helplessly, “Yes.”
“What do you remember?”
“I can come to you if anything…
“Remember that you have a fiancé. If you have time, spend more time with him. If you are busy, think about him more frequently”
Paige was rendered speechless again.
“He will shelter you and go through all the hardship with you.
Martin caressed her face. “Remember my words well.”
“OK.”
At the same time, Lindsey was furious.
“That *girl even blocked you on Line?”
After Tyrell texted Paige, a red exclamation mark popped out. Seeing that, Lindsey was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. “We have raised her for eighteen years. We should have raised a dog”” “It’s all because of you! I told you to be nice to her See? Since she left, things have gone wrong for us.
Tyrell thought, we don’t know who her birth parents are None of those groups want to work with us. Does this have something to do with her birth parents?
I saw the green limo tonight, and I heard what they said.
Why am I having the feeling that her family is more powerful than us?
“Didn’t her m*m call last time? We have her mom’s number
Before Tyrell could finish his words, Lindsey said, “I thought her family was from a poor village, so I deleted all their contact information… I left nothing.
“You Good for you!”
Tyrell was utterly anxious.
“Don’t worry.”
Lindsey thought of an idea. “A big shot has been in hospital recently, and many prominent figures have been visiting. It’s a great opportunity…”
Chapter 52
“What big shot?”
Tyrell knew nothing at all.
“It is a big shot indeed. He made his mark in business when he was young and built a vast empire. Later, his grandson expanded the business, becoming the richest man in the world at a young age.”
“Are you talking about Martin Stowe?”
Everyone knew that Martin was the richest man in the world, but he rarely showed himself, and the media never published his photos.
“The big shot you are talking about is the old Mr. Stowe, Martin’s grandfather? Is he ill in the hospital?”
Such sensational news was never mentioned. How was that possible?
Lindsey said, “There’s no such thing as secrets in the world. Mr. Stowe was very ill a while ago and was about to die soon. A high school student came by and operated on him.
It was because of such a piece of news that many people knew that Ki*lian was in Farwen Hospital and came
to visit him.
“What kind of high school student can be this good at medical sk*lls?”
Tyrell thought, that whoever saved Mr. Stowe could surely have a promising future.
High school students are eighteen years old at most. How dare someone this young operate for Mr Stowe? And Mr. Stowe is saved successfully.
And what about Paige? She is good at nothing. What’s more, she causes me trouble all the time.
“I heard that Mr. Stowe is going to be discharged from the hospital soon. We should grasp the chance and recommend ourselves to him…” Lindsey was planning.
“But will Mr. Stowe see us?”
Tyrell was obviously worried.
He thought, will a big shot like Mr. Stowe meet me, who is nothing but the richest man in Dolton?
“We can try. How will we know until we try?”
Lindsey thought, if Mr. Stowe is willing to help us, the younger generation, the Elinor family will not dare to act all high and mighty in front of us from now on…
After Abbigail marries into the Elinor family, she can rest easy and enjoy a carefree life.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s prepare the gifts and find some time to visit him tomorrow.”
Tyrell regained his confidence and took out all the treasures in the home.
The next day arrived.
As soon as Paige walked out of the office after a day’s work, she received a friend request.
“Yo, Paige, my granddaughter-in-law, it’s me.”
Paige was confused.
She thought, is Mr. Stowe friending me on Line?
“Why hasn’t Paige friended me yet…
In the ward, K*llian clicked on his phone screen from time to time and turned to question Neil, “Didn’t you say that girls like words such as ‘yo’ nowadays? Why hasn’t Paige friended me? Will she think of me as some old *?”
Neil held back his smile and said, “I heard that Mrs. Stowe has gone to work. She is probably busy right now and hasn’t checked her phone.”
“Work? What work? Does she want an experience of life or some allowance?”
Before K*llian could get to the bottom of it, his phone screen lit up. He glanced at it and said excitedly. “She friended me! My granddaughter-in-law friended me!”
Paige tapped the screen with her slender fingers and texted Ki*lian doubtfully: “K*llian?”
“Yes! Paige, it is me! I asked Martin for your Line ID. He didn’t want to let me have it at first!” he texted back.
Paige curled her lips and expressed her concern: “How are you feeling today?”
“A lot better!”
Killian recalled the message right after he sent it out. He sent Paige an emoji, showing how pitiful he was.
I’ve been better. No one even came to see me today I’m so lonely. Paige, when are you going to pick me up?” Paige found it interesting and texted: “Tomorrow.”
“Awesome! What time is tomorrow?” Ki*lian waited for a while eagerly, but she didn’t reply to him.
At the same time, Martin was waiting outside the company in the car
He pulled Paige into his arms right after she got in the car. “Who were you texting with?”
He thought, if I saw it correctly, she was texting someone back when she walked out of the office, and she was smiling.
Who can make her smile so genuinely?
“Weren’t you the one who told Killian my Line ID?”
Paige raised her eyebrows and asked.
“He calls me more than twenty times a day.”
Martin had been pestered enough already, and he was helpless. “He can be very chatty. It’s fine. Just ignore him.
Paige was amused and thought, seriously? Am I hearing those words from his grandson?
“Paige? Are you busy right now?”
“I heard that you went to work. Is it because you want to experience life or because you don’t have enough allowance?”
ווי
If you don’t have enough allowance, come to me. How much do you want? I’ll transfer it to you
Unlike his usual days, Killian wasn’t dignified or powerful at all when texting Paige. Seeing that, Martin grinned. “Killian learned to type for you.” What a huge change.
Paige leaned against the seat and lazily replied to Killian: “No need I’m just experiencing life. The summer vacation is too long, so I want to ki*l some time.”
“If that’s the case, come and find me, and I’ll take you around the world Or do you want to stay in Chicago? There are many attractions in Chicago as well. I’m happy to be your tour guide Paige was just about to reply when her phone was **away by Martin He pressed a button on the phone screen without releasing it and said with great interest, Ki*lian, you are intruding ” Ki*lian was surprised to find that Paige was together with Martin. He had a big smile on his face, and he quickly put his phone away, not wanting to interrupt the couple.
He thought I guess a wedding is coming!
“What time do you think we should pick up Killian tomorrow?”
Paige’s tone was lazy.
“It’s up to you.”
Martin returned the phone to her and fiddled with her hand. “Whatever you decide.
“Then why don’t we go over after lunch?”
She thought, I have to go to work in the afternoon, and I don’t want to keep Ki*lian waiting.
“OK”
Martin kept fiddling with her fair and slender fingers. Every one of them was beautiful, and even her nails were trimmed very cleanly and beautifully.
He thought she is so bewitching. After holding her hand, I was never willing to let go of her
The next morning arrived.
K*llian freshened up and looked hale and hearty. He was waiting for Paige.
Neil entered the door and helplessly said, “Mr. Stowe, Mr. Hacker, the CEO of the Hacker Group, has brought his daughter to see you, and Mr. Alfred of Prosperity Group and his wife are waiting outside with their daughter as well… In addition, Mr. Frey of the Frey family has brought his granddaughter here, and Mrs. Norton of the Norton family has brought all of her four granddaughters here…”
“No!”
Killian thought I want to see Paige, not these outsiders!
It’s clear what these people want. They want to marry their daughters or granddaughters into our family.
Do they think I’m too confused to tell?
“Then I will go and decline them now. I will tell them that you are still resting…
“Tell everyone that I’m not seeing anyone today.”
Killian thought, unless it’s Paige.
He thought for a moment and added, “Tell them not to block the door. Keep them out of Paige’s way.”
“Alright.”
Though Neil said so, after pondering for a moment, he still found an excuse to turn those outside the door down.
It was soon noon, and there were constantly different people outside the door, coming here to visit K*llian. Some of them knew Killian and some of them didn’t. Anyway, there were so many people that the corridor was crowded.
Chapter 53
Killian had been waiting for a long time, but Paige was still nowhere to be seen. He was starving, and his stomach was rumbling with hunger.
“Mr Stowe Neil entered again.
Killian was at once spirited and asked expectantly, “Is Paige here?”
He thought, where is she?
Why haven’t I seen her?
Looking out, he saw the backs of several bodyguards.
They formed a human wall, and the gaps between their shoulders showed that many people were standing outside.
Killian suddenly went dejected.
“The people outside are from small companies we’ve never heard of I think they have heard that you are. recovering here, so they are here to visit you.
“I already said I wouldn’t see anyone!
“Did Martin say when they would arrive?” Killian was very impatient with those people outside
He thought it’s already 12:30. Where the heck are they?
“Mr. Stowe has brought Mrs. Stowe to lunch. They will be here after that.”
When Neil saw that Killian kept the delicious food in front of him intact, he could not help but persuade Killian, “Mr Stowe, why don’t you eat something before anything else? I’m afraid they won’t be here so soon…..
Neil thought, after all, the couple was so in love. Who knows how long their lunch will last?
“Humph! Marin, you brat! Why didn’t you pick me up first? You should have had lunch with me together!”
Killian felt that he had been left out and muttered, “You left me here alone.
Lindsey was outside.
Her feet hurt from her four-inch heels.
She was tired and hungry. Looking at the expressionless bodyguards, she smiled fawningly, “Come on. We’ve been standing here for an hour now, and it’s lunchtime. The lunch we prepared for Mr Stowe is getting cold. Can you let us in and see Mr. Stowe?”
“Mrs. Tate, I’m not being judgmental here.”
Greta, who was standing next to Lindsey, saw the Sunrise Restaurant bag in Lindsey’s hand and said with disdain, “What kind of man is Mr. Stowe? Why would he eat such a low-graded lunch?” After she finished speaking, she looked at the bodyguards and said with a smile, “Hey there, why don’t you let
us in? I’m sure that you have heard of the Elinor family’s reputation, right? The lunch we brought was packed from Wonderland Restaurant. Look at these lunchboxes! They’re so classy!”
Wonderland Restaurant’s reputation was much more resounding than that of Sunrise Restaurant
Lindsey packed the food from Sunrise Restaurant, only because she failed to order from Wonderland Restaurant.
Seeing that the food she brought was overshadowed, Lindsey took out a few envelopes from her bag and stuffed them into the bodyguards’ hands.
“It’s a little something. Do us a favor, and let us go inside to see Mr Stowe, OK?”
Lindsey said flatteringly with a smile, not having the slightest dignity, “You won’t be forgotten after our family thrives.”
Seeing that Lindsey had gone all out, Greta immediately took out a few bank cards from her bag. “Come on. Envelopes don’t hold much, do they? But cards are different…” “Greta, how can you do this?”
“Do what? Mrs. Tate, I don’t think you should call me so intimately. You should call me Mrs. Elinor
“Mrs. Elinor, our men decided on the engagement. Don’t tell me you’re going back on your word.”
“If my man knew that your daughter had been raised by a dustman, he would have crawled out of his grave and objected to the match.”
“How can you talk like that in front of the kids?”
The two women said as they stuffed things into the bodyguards’ hands, and neither of them backed down.
The bodyguards were indifferent. The envelopes and cards that were stuffed into their hands all fell to the ground.
Tyrell personally went forward to pick the stuff up and stuffed the envelopes into the bodyguard’s pockets. “Just take them. It’s a gesture…”
One of the bodyguards saw the gifts that Tyrell was holding in one hand, which were mostly restoratives.
The bodyguard could not help but feel disdainful deep down.
He thought the servants of the Stowe family get a bunch of these on any given holiday.
Does Tyrell look down on Mr. Stowe? Or does Tyrell think that these low-class things are enough to please Mr. Stowe?
Those bodyguards took out the envelopes that Tyrell stuffed into their pockets simultaneously and threw them on the ground.
They thought, given the thickness of the envelopes, the money in each of them was probably just a few hundred dollars. Yet our monthly salary is 16 thousand dollars. On no ground will we lose our jobs for such a small profit.
Seeing that Lindsey and Tyrell had suffered a setback, Greta was secretly overjoyed.
The bodyguards were impossible to talk to. Lindsey suddenly noticed Abbigail, who looked all right.
“Abbigail, go talk to those guys. “She hurriedly pulled Abbigail.
“Lindsey, let me!
“Abbigail is still young. Leave this to me.” Davon naturally knew what Lindsey was up to, so he hastily came forward and blocked Abbigail.
“Mr. Elinor, I wouldn’t dare to trouble you.”
Lindsey vented her anger on Davon. She said, “You heard what your mother said, didn’t you? You and Abbigail’s marriage might not be happening at all.”
At the same time, Neil came out of the ward. “Make way! Make way!”
A woman walked out of the elevator not far away, and everyone noticed her slender, fair legs.
Her charming eyes were crystal clear, her fair face was especially outstanding, and her whole body exuded a cool and proud air of authority.
When Neil saw her, he immediately went forward and called out respectfully in a low voice, “Mrs. Stowe.”
The reason why he kept his voice so low was that there were many people present. Her identity had not been released, and it would cause her much unnecessary trouble if anyone heard him addressing her
“Neil.’
Paige replied to Neil politely.
Neil felt warm, figuring that though Paige was the soon-to-be hostess of the Stowe family, she did not put on any airs at all. Instead, she was so kind.
“Mr Stowe has been waiting for you for a long time. This way, please.”
Seeing that Neil respectfully led the way for Paige, those from the Tate family, the Elinor family, and several others who came to visit Killian were stunned.
Tyrell rubbed his eyes, not daring to believe what he was seeing.
Lindsey was so shocked that she couldn’t utter a word at all. She was slack-jawed.
Abbigail was stunned, feeling that she had been struck by lightning. She bit her lip and clenched her fists, finding
it hard to believe that Paige was led by Neil to the ward under everyone’s gaze.
For those who came to visit Killian, the ward Killian was in was an existence that they looked up to
Meanwhile, Paige was holding her phone and replying to someone, and she did not notice the dense crowd around her at all.
The people cast envious glances at her, speculating about her identity.
They wondered who she was. After all, she was treated by Neil so respectfully.
Greta was shocked as well. She didn’t expect that Neil, who had always been high and mighty, would be so respectful and polite to Paige.
Davon had mixed feelings. He couldn’t name them clearly.
He thought, what qualifications does Paige have?
What qualifies her to be greeted by Neil himself?
What qualifies her to enter that ward?
Everyone here has gone all out to meet Mr. Stowe, but none of us have succeeded. Yet she gets to follow.
Chapter 54
“Paige!”
Lindsey could not help but say, “You. You…”
When Paige heard Lindsey’s voice, she turned back to look at Lindsey with distant and indifferent eyes. In just a second, Paige withdrew her gaze and followed Neil into the ward obediently.
The others did not know the relationship between Paige and Lindsey. Seeing that Lindsey, who was from the Tate family, knew the woman who followed Neil, they all looked at the Tate family differently.
The Tate family members felt a sense of superiority, and at the same time, they could not help but wonder the reason why Paige got to enter Killian’s ward.
They thought, how could she get to know such a big shot like Mr Stowe?
“Killian.”
Paige greeted Killian politely as soon as she entered the ward.
“Paige, you’re finally here! I’ve been expecting you for ages!
“Why are you the only one here? Where’s Martin?” Killian asked her to sit down while feeling puzzled.
“He has something to do at the last minute and has returned to the office.”
“That brat!”
Killian was secretly furious and thought, needless to say, he must have gotten tired of Paige! It has only been a few days, and he has already started to neglect her… How am I supposed to find another girl as beautiful and skilled in medicine as Paige?
I thought that their marriage was basically settled…
Yet maybe it’s still too early to tell.
“Neil, call Martin!”
Killian was off. “He cares about nothing but his work!”
Killian thought I had to make things clear for him!
With such a beautiful girl, how could he still manage to deal with company matters?
In fact, Martin was not in the mood for work at all. Unfortunately, if he didn’t get them done, he couldn’t have dinner with Paige tonight.
To have more time to stay with Paige, he could only give up on picking up Killian from the hospital.
Yet Killian didn’t know. Killian thought that Martin had gotten tired of Paige and was deliberately giving Paige a cold shoulder.
Paige felt so great without Martin, who was nothing but clingy
Yet in Killian’s eyes, Paige was speaking up for Martin, which proved that she would be a fantastic wife after she married Martin.
“Martin has been through so much growing up that he’s cold and aloof now. I’ll talk to you about his past some time.”
Paige was not interested in Martin’s past, but she still nodded without saying anything, looking obedient. Abbigail was outside the ward.
She noticed that Davon had never looked away from the door of the ward since Paige entered.
She admitted that Paige was very beautiful today. Although Paige was only wearing simple clothes and had her hair tied up into a bun casually, her outstanding facial features and the cold aura she exuded still made people’s eyes light up.
Seeing that everyone’s attention was attracted to Paige, Abbigail could not help but bite her lower lip and whispered, “Paige is so indiscreet about her private life…”
“What did you say?”
Lindsey thought Abbigail knew some inside story and quickly asked.
Lindsey wasn’t the only one. Tyrell and the Elinor family members were also attracted by Abbigail’s words and looked at Abbigail.
Abbigail felt that she became the center of focus, and she said, sounding innocent.
“Davon and I saw Paige holding a man at a hotel before. The man was so old that he couldn’t even walk.
“After serving the old man at the hotel, Paige got into a luxury car and went to sleep with another man…
“Paige gets to enter Mr Stowe’s ward today. Maybe she has some sort of shady relationship with him, or maybe she has *up with some rich guy and went in to visit him as someone’s mistress… “Anyway, it is a pity…
“Paige was quite outstanding at first, but she has done so many wrong things to stay in Chicago.”
After finishing speaking, Abbigail sighed and pretended to look heartbroken.
“Are you serious? This girl! How can she be this cheap?” Lindsey could not believe her ears.
Lindsey thought, what if Abbigail is telling the truth? What if Paige is someone’s mistress? By entering Mr. Stowe’s ward, she might upset Mr. Stowe and affect his recovery.
“Paige’s biological parents look rich to me. I don’t think she would do such a thing.”
Abbigail was stunned at Davon’s words. “Davon, are you speaking up for her? If her biological parents were that rich, why would they let her serve old men at some hotel? You saw it that day. She and that old man looked so intimate. They were like lovers.
Hearing Abbigail’s words, Davon thought of Paige’s fair hands supporting the old man back then, and he was instantly gloomy.
Abbigail took the opportunity to make things worse. She continued, “If Paige’s biological parents are that loaded, with hundreds of millions of dollars in cash, then her parents must be at least the richest in a state They might even be the richest in the country.
“But, obviously, it’s very unlikely. The green limo that day might be the old man’s car And they could be lying.
“I find it so strange. If her biological parents are that wealthy, why would she go to the hospital to wait for Cassie to wake up? She has done so several times till now.”
Lindsey pondered, Paige must be waiting for Cassie to wake up and make things right for her Paige wants to stay with our family.
So, Paige’s parents indeed are poor
At the same time, those bodyguards received an order and began to drive the people outside away.
“Mr Stowe won’t see anyone today. Please go back. Don’t linger on here. The room will get stuffy
“But that woman just went in. Abbigail said with a tender smile. “Hey, can you tell us the relationship between that woman and Mr Stowe?”
The bodyguard felt disgusted at once when he saw the hypocritical look on Abbigail’s face. After all, he and the other bodyguards had worked for the Stowe family for years, and they had come across countless phonies like Abbigail.
Seeing that the bodyguard ignored her, Abbigail felt a little awkward. With so many people looking at them, she had no choice but to force herself to continue, saying, “In fact, the woman is my sister. “If so, why don’t you ask her yourself later?”
The bodyguard silenced Abbigail with one sentence.
Lindsey pulled Abbigail back, not wanting to be humiliated by Abbigail anymore.
Meanwhile, Greta felt sick when seeing how embarrassing Abbigail was
Many people left, yet there were still many of them waiting outside for Killian to come out.
After a short while, the door of the ward was open.
Paige helped Killian out, and everyone was shocked.
Killian was in good spirits, smiling and talking to the woman beside him, while she was nodding obediently They looked very harmonious and warm as if they were a family.
A few people in charge of some small companies were stunned. Then they rushed to Killian.
Yet they were all kept out by those bodyguards.
“Mr. Stowe, are you getting discharged now?”
“Can I have five minutes?”
“I just need one minute!”
“Mr. Stowe! Mr. Stowe!”
Ignoring the voices behind him, Killian chatted and laughed with the woman beside him, and they walked towards the elevator.
Neil carried his luggage and followed behind them, looking like a loyal.
“As expected, Paige and Mr. Stowe are really close…”
Chapter 55
Abbigail was so jealous that she couldn’t help smearing Paige, “She was in there for so long. Who knows what they did inside? I hope it wasn’t something despicable.” “Abbigail!”
Lindsey had a theory. Yet Killian’s bodyguards were in front of them, and the Tate family would be in trouble if they heard Abbigail’s words.
Abbigail bit her lower lip and looked at Paige’s back unwillingly.
Abbigail wished she were the one holding Killian.
Fifteen minutes passed.
The car arrived in front of a quiet and elegant villa.
It was Killian’s residence, occupying at least 100 thousand square feet.
The black undulating tiles were paired with white outer walls, giving off a faint ancient fragrance. The wooden railings and windows looked grand, and the roof was cornice-shaped. The whole villa had a symmetrical design, which made it look even and stable.
The villa was both a bit classical and graceful. Since it was surrounded by a clear stream, it was called “Riverside Villa”.
Killian was in high spirits and offered warmly. “Let’s go and sit in the yard. I’ll get someone to serve us some great tea. Do you have any desserts you like? I’ll have them cooked right now. “I’m fine, Killian.”
Paige smiled and said obediently, “I have to go back to work, so I won’t go in.”
Killian was immediately dejected. “Are you leaving so soon?”
“Mrs. Stowe, you are already at the door. Why don’t you come to the office today?”
Neil was also fond of Paige very much and tried his best to persuade her, “Why don’t you go inside and take a break? You may have some tea and grab a few bites.”
“I have to deal with something at the company.
“I’ll take a rain check,” Paige said gently.
“When will you be getting off work? I will ask Martin to pick you up…” Although Killian was reluctant to see Paige leave, he did not want to delay her either. “Come here for dinner tonight and chat with me, OK?”
“Mr. Stowe has not fully recovered yet. Mrs. Stowe, it will be better if you can keep an eye on him…” While saying that Neil hurriedly winked at Killian.
“Ouch! My heart. “Killian started to act right away “Paige, maybe you should check up on me tonight I’m still feeling a bit uncomfortable here. He even coughed after finishing speaking.
Paige saw through his clumsy and exaggerated acting, yet she did not expose him. The corners of her lips curled up as she said. “Alright then.”
“Great! Then what do you like to eat? I’ll tell those in the kitchen to get them ready”
While saying that, Killian realized that he sounded too excited. He pretended to cough a few more times and continued in a weak tone, “Is there anything you aren’t supposed to eat?”
“No.”
“A simple meal will do. There’s no need to go through a whole lot of trouble,” Paige said while blinking looking stunning.
“OK.”
Killian was so happy that he looked like a child Then I’ll ask Ryker to send you to the company Come back together with Martin after work.” “Alright.”
After Paige left, Killian was high-spirited again at once and asked with a smile, “Well? My acting was flawless, wasn’t it?”
Neil stretched out his thumb and index finger and said, “It was just a little bit showy
“Really?”
Killian looked in the direction where the car had left. Then I’ll try to restrain myself more next time.
Killian then entered the villa.
He took out his phone and called Martin. His attitude was very unyielding.
“I don’t care what urgent business you have. You must pick Paige up from work tonight and come to dinner with me.”
“OK”
To his surprise, Martin, who was on the other end of the line, said yes at once without thinking at all.
Killian was stunned.
He thought, how come he says yes so readily?
Did I hear him wrong?
“I’m warning you. Paige is the only granddaughter-in-law I have my eyes on. Don’t think about playing any tricks!”
“She gets off work at five o’clock.”
Martin’s deep voice rang out as he continued, “We will be at your place before six o’clock.
He was implicating Killian to get the dinner ready before six o’clock
Killian was dumbfounded again.
He thought, was I hearing things? Did I hear those words coming from this brat’s mo*th?
“As for desserts after the meal.
Martin knew Paige’s preferences very well. He said calmly. “She doesn’t like chocolate I recommend strawberry-flavored ones.”
Killian simply couldn’t utter a word.
After hanging up the phone, Killian still failed to come back to his senses Somehow, he felt that Martin had become a mystery that he could not see through
Neil thought that Killian had encountered a setback and offered to help Killian by making suggestions, “Mr Stowe, it seems to me that the couple is progressing slowly. Why don’t we give them a push tonight?” “What do you have in mind?”
Killian was interested
“We can.
Neil leaned close to Killian’s ear. Seeing Killian smiling. Neil also smiled. Then he continued. Then
I will ask them to get the room ready in advance
Meanwhile, Paige took the elevator to the 20th floor of the company
From afar, she saw Deon standing at the door of the office waiting for her
“Ms. Paige!”
Deon immediately came forward at the sight of Paige You are here. finally! Mr Ingram wants to see you”
Paige raised her eyebrows. She had never heard of such a person.
“His name is Nigel Ingram, and he is from the headquarters. He was in charge of the company a year ago, and before you came, he was the most powerful one here who called the shots “Then why haven’t I seen him in the previous meeting?”
“Well…” Deon was hesitant for a while before continuing in a low voice, “He is away a lot.”
“Is he out for work?”
“No.”
Though Deon didn’t finish, Paige already figured out the reason. Tell him to come over, Paige said.
“Yes,”
Deon was about to go fetch Nigel.
“He is just a deputy general manager. Why do you need to ask him to come over personally?” Paige asked with interest.
“If I just call or text him, he will get mad.”
“Is that so?”
Paige thought he was quite good at putting on airs.
“I’m interested in knowing how mad he gets.”
After a short while, a middle-aged man about 40 years old showed up.
He was a plump man with a round face and bright eyes, looking intimidating. He played rough the second he reached the door of the office.
He said to Deon, “Since your new boss is here, you think you don’t need to take me seriously anymore?”
“You got me wrong, Mr Ingram. I was called up, so I couldn’t ask you to come by myself I am sorry.
“Who knows how long your new boss gets to sit in that position? You get accustomed to relying on her and putting on airs so soon. Are you afraid that you’ll end up with nothing?” “That’s not what I’m thinking, Mr Ingram.”
Deon sneered deep down while still saying politely, “Mr Ingram, please come in. Ms. Paige is already inside.”
Nigel gave Deon a cold look and swaggered into the office.
Then Nigel saw that the woman on the office chair had crystal clear eyes and was looking at him with interest.
Nigel was surprised. She looked so young and was good-looking. Meanwhile, it seemed that she didn’t take him seriously at all.
“I heard from those employees that we have a new head here. I have no idea you’re so young.”
Nigel took the initiative to speak. He continued, “I heard that you were sent by the headquarters. Why haven’t I seen you before in the headquarters?”
“There are more than 5,000 people in the headquarters. Mr. Ingram, have you seen each one of them?”
“That’s not what I’m saying. It’s just that I have never seen anyone of your age and appearance be in this position. Who in the headquarters sent you here?”
Chapter 56
“Do I need to report this to you, Mr. Ingram?
“I heard that you seldom stay in the company, Mr. Ingram. As a new one in charge who wouldn’t stay here for long, can I ask you about this, Mr. Ingram? Paige curled her lips.
Nigel pulled out a chair and sat in front of Paige proudly. “If I have to keep an eye on everything in the company, I will be exhausted, Ms. Paige, you are new here. And you have no idea how many things there are in the company.
Mr. Ingram, where do you go when you are not in the company?”
“Chat with bosses of other companies to get cooperation opportunities and meet the material merchants. What? You have any opinions about that, Ms. Paige?”
“Of course”
Paige smiled. “Did you get any cooperation chances? And what materials did you buy? I have to figure it out. Or you are absent from work for no reason.” “Heh.”
Nigel smiled, “So, Ms. Paige, do you mean that I have to stay in my office every day?”
“Not only you but all the people in the company. Everyone has to stay in their own offices during work hours!”
Paige’s smile deepened.
Nigel stared at the girl in front of him and suddenly smiled:
“You are in charge now. Of course, I have to listen to you, Ms. Paige
“If there is nothing else, I will go back to the office first.
“Don’t worry, I will stay in the company to work every day. I will manage the company well along with you. Ms. Paige”
Nigel deliberately emphasized the last sentence. He seemed to have a deeper meaning.
Unexpectedly, Paige looked at him with a meaningful smile. “You’d better manage yourself well first
Seeing Nigel get up and leave, Paige looked at his back. “By the way, I forgot to tell you, Mr. Ingram. Nigel stopped.
“Only I can order my people around,” Paige said word by word.
Nigel glanced at Deon, who was standing at the door, with dissatisfaction in his heart.
Mr Ingram, do you understand?”
“Understood “
Nigel left with anger.
Deon looked at the girl in the office. He didn’t expect her to be so domineering!
He was a little touched when Paige protected him like this!
In Riverside, Mr. Stowe looked at flowers and plants in the courtyard. He personally took the scissors from the gardener. “I’ll do it!”
“Hey, Mr. Stowe, you have to take it easy! Your body is not fully recovered yet. Why do you have to do it yourself? Just tell me what shape you want,” Neil hurriedly said.
“I want it to be cute.”
“Cute?”
Neil thought that he had heard wrongly and looked at the few gardeners in dismay
Killian began to trim his beloved green plants. He made some moves but still felt dissatisfied. He trimmed it a few more times.
“How’s it?”
“Mr. Stowe, you made it into the shape of a rabbit?
“Is this for Mrs. Stowe?” Neil asked.
Killian was very satisfied with his work. He looked at his masterpiece with a smile.
In order to make Paige like this place more, he ordered the gardeners to trim the other flowers and trees in the courtyard into cute
shapes. And then, he ordered people to clean the inside and outside of the villa completely
He appeared that a VIP guest was coming today, not her granddaughter-in-law
“Mr. Stowe, Ms. Patricia is here.”
Suddenly, a maid came forward and reported, “Should we bring her over?”
“Why is she here?”
Neil guessed a bit and looked at Killian
Killian just happened to be tired from trimming. He sat on a rattan chair and said, “Let in. Someone, bring some tea and snacks.” Patricia followed the maid around and finally came to Killian. Her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse!
“Mr. Stowel
She could not help but wipe her tears after she came. “I feel so happy to see you sitting here safe and sound. And I’m also guilty “Why are you crying?”
“It was my fault last time! I wanted you to recover faster, but I didn’t expect that there would be a problem with the Heart Relief Pill Patricia felt really guilty. “I made you suffer in vain. Fortunately, you are blessed by the heavens!”
“Hahaha.” Killian smiled kindly. “That’s the past. Just forget it.”
In fact, nothing was wrong with the pill. It was because he was too weak.
But he wasn’t in the mood to explain this to Patricia.
At this time, a chef got the menu ready and gave it to Killian for review.
“That’s quite good. “Killian read it clearly. “Will there be chocolate powder on the desserts? Change it. Paige doesn’t like that. Use strawberries.”
When Patricia heard this, she wondered, Paige? She will come here to eat?
How is that possible?
Why does Killian know her taste very well?
“Prepare more fruits too! Cut them into cute shapes!”
Killian handed the menu over and said in a good mood, “There are no other problems. Get everything ready quickly!”
Patricia maintained a decent smile. “Mr Stowe, who’s coming tonight? An honored guest? I saw a lot of people cleaning the house and setting up the place today. Are they
“It’s Paige! I invited her to come over for dinner tonight.”
Killian smiled and sighed, “I didn’t expect that she was Martin’s fiancée! Patricia, it seems that we can’t be a family in this life.
“I’m not as lucky as Paige.” Patricia felt unwilling in her heart.
Paige again!
Ever since Paige appeared, everything had become harder for her!
“You are a good child. I’m sure you will marry a good husband and live a happy life. It is getting late. I will go and see how everything’s going.”
Killian looked at the time. In another hour, Paige would be here.
“This is the first time Paige has come here. I have to leave her a good impression.”
It seemed that he was really satisfied with Paige.
Seeing that he was about to get up and leave, Patricia hurriedly said, “Mr. Stowe
“Is there anything else?”
Killian turned back and looked at Patricia with a smile. Although he was still smiling, Patricia felt that he was different from before.
“I won the first prize in the piano competition. Mr. Stowe, can I play a song for you? To help you get rid of your worries.” Patricia wanted Killian to know that she was more talented than Paige
However, Killian did not seem to take it seriously. He smiled kindly, “I have no worries.”
“If you are not in a hurry, just listen to me play. You have good taste. You must have heard a lot of good piano songs. You can help me improve…”
“I’m busy tonight. Martin will come back to eat with his fiancée. I can’t keep you here. Others will gossip about that.”
Patricia was shocked and angry.
Did Killian mean that she couldn’t even eat here?
Was he afraid that Paige would mind it after she knew that?
Patricia thought Killian was very thoughtful of Paige. But she’s just a bumpkin!
“You are now a big girl. I think I shouldn’t call you here that often then. Your future husband and his family might be angry because of this.”
Before Patricia could speak, she heard Killian say, “Neil, you stay with Patricia. I’ll go over there to take a look.”
Chapter 57
I see”
Neil knew Killian’s meaning, so he turned to look at Patricia respectfully.
His attitude showed clearly that Killian didn’t want to talk with Patricia anymore.
Patricia found it unbelievable. She had never thought that Killian would change his attitude toward her completely after he knew Paige
She felt extremely embarrassed.
Although Killian let Neil entertain her, she was so awkward that she no longer wanted to stay.
Patricia thought, isn’t Paige from the countryside? She must have caused lots of trouble.
How could she gain the approval of Mr. Stowe?
How is it possible? How did she make it in such a short period?
“Well, since Mr. Stowe is busy, I will come to visit him another day.”
Patricia stood up and placed the gifts down. “Please help me hand them to him. They are good for his health.”
Neil said politely. “The doctor said that Mr. Stowe is weak. These things are not suitable for him.
“Ms. Patricia, you can take them back and give them to your parents”
“You…
Patricia did not expect that Neil, who had been respectful to her, would keep a distance from her
“Hurry up and help Ms. Patricia bring these things to the car.”
Neil knew the purpose of Patricia’s visit as well. Obviously, she didn’t want to give Martin up. What was more, she wanted to marry into the Stowe family.
But Martin fell in love with Paige, and Killian was satisfied with Paige.
Did she try to ruin Martin’s relationship with Paige? No way!
It was time to get off.
After Paige finished working, she took out her phone and called Danica, “M*m, I won’t go home for dinner tonight.”
Danica said in delight before Paige explained, “I see. Mr. Stowe gave a call. He was discharged today, and he invited you to have dinner together.”
Paige did not expect that Killian would personally call her mother for such trivia. She couldn’t help feeling warm about it.
“I heard from Mr. Stowe that you saved him before. Although he did not tell me in detail, he kept praising you on the phone for more than ten minutes. Mr. Stowe was very happy about having a granddaughter-in-law like you.”
Paige was a little surprised at Danica’s words.
Fortunately, Killian did not say how she saved him, otherwise.
“Paige, why didn’t you tell me about it? I’m so proud of you.”
While Danica was happy, she wondered if the Tate family was ins*ne. Paige was outstanding, clever, and sensible. The Tate family not only did not cherish her but also wanted to abandon her
What was the matter with them?
“You can take your time tonight. “Danica advised before she hung up
Just then, Patricia returned home. When she heard Danica and Paige’s communication, she asked in astonishment, “Did Paige save Mr. Stowe before?”
“That’s right. I learned about this from Mr. Stowe. I didn’t expect Paige to be this low key”
The better Danica knew became Paige, the more she was satisfied with Paige and liked Paige.
Patricia thought, did Paige happen to save Mr. Stowe when the latter was sick? She might just press on Mr. Stowe’s chest. What else could she do?
Is that why she got Mr. Stowe’s praise?
I knew how to make first aid treatment as well.
It’s not that difficult.
Everyone leams it from books.
What a pity it is! I didn’t have the chance to show my abilities to Mr. Stowe. If I did so, Mr. Stowe would choose me over Paige.
In the evening.
Killian stood at the door, waiting for Martin and Paige for a long time.
Finally, he saw Martin and Paige getting out of the car with their holding together. How intimate they were! Killian could not help but curl his lips.
“Paige, here you are. Are you tired from work? Come in quickly
As soon as Killian entered the door, he said to the dozens of *inside, “She will be Martin’s wife soon. You need to show
respect to her. You can call her Mrs. Stowe.”
“Good evening, Mrs. Stowe.”
Dozens of *stood neatly and looked at Paige with a smile on their faces.
Paige could tell that they had been waiting here for a long time from the sweat on their foreheads and clothes.
Paige was shocked.
What an exaggerated scene it was!
“I’m glad to see you.”
Paige nodded and followed Martin into the yard.
The plants grew well in the yard. Paige was a little puzzled. Didn’t Killian live well? How could there be so many lovely plants? Martin also noticed the change here. The house looked totally different. It was obvious that Killian had ordered them to clean up and wanted to leave a good impression on Paige.
“Paige, are you Jeungry? We can go to have dinner.”
He brought her to the dining room.
There were four chefs and eight *inside. As soon as they saw her, they greeted her respectfully.
Paige didn’t know what to say.
She was dumbfounded
“Paige, come to sit beside me.”
Killian motioned the chair on his left side.
One of the *pulled out the chair for Paige After Paige sat down, Martin sat next to her
The four chefs served the dishes. Not only did each of the dishes smell good, but they were also well-displayed.
The table was full of delicious dishes, including seafood salad with fresh fruit, smoked salmon, tomato soup with cream, and gratinated lobster in sauce.
“Paige, have a taste.”
Killian took a new fork and helped Paige get food personally.
Surprisingly, Martin was one step ahead of him. Martin naturally handled the lobster for Paige.
Killian had never thought that Martin would be this considerate. He rubbed his eyes in surprise.
Neil, who stood beside Killian, opened his eyes wide. He was dumbfounded.
Did he see Martin handle food for Paige?
Martin ignored their looks and continued to take care of Paige.
As he had been having meals with Paige these days, he was used to serving her food and looking after her.
It was rare for Killian and Neil to see Martin taking care of someone else. They were indeed shocked at the scene in front of them.
“You like seafood. Help yourself.”
Martin took dishes for Paige with his eyes full of affection, and he did not eat anything.
Although Killian was shocked, he didn’t show it. He asked with a smile, “Paige, how is the dinner?”
“It’s tasty.”
“Thank you for your praise, Mrs. Stowe.”
The four chefs bowed in unison and were extremely grateful for Paige’s comment.
Killian had said that if they could please Paige with tonight’s dinner, the monthly salary would be doubled.
“I can help myself.”
Paige asked Martin to start eating, but the latter kept helping her with the food. He observed what dishes she liked and disliked carefully it seemed that he only cared about whether she was happy tonight.
“Paige, you can come to visit me whenever you have time. It’s quiet here. I hope you can come over more frequently.”
In the past, Martin was busy with work, and he sometimes didn’t come over for more than two months…
Although there were dozens of *here, Killian felt empty. However, it was different today. He had Paige and Martin stay with him, and his appetite became better.
“Okay”
Paige obediently agreed.
“Paige and I will come back more.”
Hearing Martin’s words, Killian snorted in his heart. He wondered, I asked you several times to come over, but you didn’t take my words seriously. Now, I only hope to see Paige
Chapter 58
After the meal, Killian showed Parge around and finally took her to the top floor to look into the distance.
“It’s dark and we can’t see things too far away. It looks even better during the day. Beautiful flowers, plants, streams, and tall mountains in the distance can all be seen. Paige, you must come and take a look when you are free.”
“Okay”
Paige looked at the time and said in a soft voice, “It’s getting late. I should go back.”
“No.
Killian somewhat didn’t want Paige to leave. “Why don’t you stay a little longer?”
“I will come to see you again next time”
Seeing Paige was about to leave, Killian hurriedly winked at Neil. Neil immediately got it and ordered people to get ready.
Led by Martin, Paige just got to the living room on the first floor when the lights of the whole villa suddenly dimmed down.
“What is going on?”
Killian pretended to know nothing and asked, “Why is there a sudden power outage?”
“It’s really strange. In all the years we’ve lived here, we’ve never seen anything like this! I will go and see what is wrong. Don’t worry. I will be back soon.”
Neil pretended not to know anything and quickly went down
“Martin, take Paige to the sofa to sit for a while
Killian turned around and ordered the servants at the side, “Go and get some candles and emergency lights.”
“Mr. Stowe, don’t you have some beautiful emergency lights in your collection?”
A servant asked, in a pre-agreed manner.
“Oh, yes! But where did I keep them? Let me go and have a look.”
Killian also found an excuse to leave.
Only Martin and Paige were left in the huge living room.
The corners of Martin’s lips curled up and he knew the villa clearly had a power generation assembly, so even if the power went out, it shouldn’t be all dark.
Martin thought, is Grandpa deliberately giving Paige and me a chance to be alone? Paige waited for a long time and looked at the time. “It is half past eight. Let’s go.” Paige was afraid that her parents would be worried if she went back too late.
Martin took Paige into his arms. It’s still early. Stay with me for a while longer.”
“I have been with you for such a long time today, haven’t I?”
“It’s only been a few hours. It’s not enough.”
Martin held Paige more tightly. “I want to stay with you for a while longer”
Paige didn’t know what to say.
Paige thought, why is this guy so clingy?
He was clearly very cold in the past.
“Let go, your grandpa will see.
“He will be happier if he sees it.”
Upstairs…
Neil, who was hiding in the comer, saw that Killian was being helped upstairs and hurriedly whispered, “Mr. Stowe, over here!” Killian quickly walked over and squeezed into Neil’s side to look downstairs. “How is it? How is it going?”
“The two of them are just talking, but not making any real progress.”
“Martin, this blockhead! It’s so dark Why doesn’t he kiss Paige?”
Killian thought for a moment and said, “Could it be that it’s not romantic enough? Have someone take down those emergency petal lights and LED candles.”
“OK.”
Soon, the living room was decorated with beautiful petal lights and LED candles were placed on other tables, creating a romantic atmosphere.
“Wait a minute.”
Paige called out to one of the servants who was arranging the candles, “Tell Mr. Stowe I’m going back.”
The servant was suddenly at a loss when facing this sudden situation. ‘Miss, the power’s out. Why don’t you stay a little longer?” “It’s too late.”
“But the gate is locked. You can’t get out.”
Paige went speechless.
“All the doors in the house are specially customized, and they are electronically intelligent. If the power fails, the doors can’t be opened.”
“Don’t these doors have USB ports? Just charge the door directly from a mobile power source.”
Paige gave a response plan.
But the servant replied, “There is no USB port…”
“Then the spare key?”
“The key is lost…”
“Then…
Just remove the dead battery from the inside of the door lock and replace it with a new one.”
“There is no extra battery
Paige didn’t know what to say.
Paige thought, what kind of door is this?
Not equipped with anything?
Seeing the eyes of the servant dodging, Paige immediately realized something and the comers of her mo*th curled up.
“In short, just tell him I’m leaving”
Paige stood-up and was about to leave.
“Mrs. Stowe, please wait a little longer. Let me report this first. Please, please don’t leave.”
Seeing that Paige was determined to leave, the servant hurriedly ran to find Killian
After hearing what the servant said, Killian smiled and waved his hand, “It’s fine. I’ve had the USB port removed, and the spare keys and batteries put away. Paige’s not getting out of here until the power comes back on.
When Paige came to the front door, she found that the USB port had been removed by someone. The spare keys and batteries hidden in the door were also missing, apparently taken away by someone.
Parge smiled and looked at the man in front of her “Your grandpa really took great pains for you.”
“It’s for you.”
Martin held Paige and said word by word, “Grandpa likes you very much and wants you to stay”
Paige thought, stay and let this guy take advantage of me?
How is that possible?
Paige pressed the password lock several times with her slender fingers. Beep, beep, beep, Soon, the door opened.
The surrounding servants were stunned, wondering how Paige made it since the door was clearly locked.
Didn’t Mr. Stowe say that it was impossible to open it without electricity? the servants thought.
Martin did not expect that Paige would be able to break into the system and disable the code. This little girl does know a lot! Martin thought.
“I just happened to make it. Let’s go.”
Paige took the lead to walk out of the door but had not gone a few steps when she heard a voice.
“Please wait a moment. Mr. Stowe suddenly feels something wrong with his heart. Please go over and take a look!”
Paige paused.
Not caring whether it was true or not, Paige hurriedly went back.
The servant led the way ahead with an antique emergency light and took Paige to Killian’s room.
“Ouch, L. “Killian lay on the bed and pretended to be si*k again.
“Sir, what’s wrong with you?”
Paige checked Killian up and suddenly got something.
“How is it? Is Mr. Stowe okay?”
Paige smiled and withdrew her hand, saying lazily, “He’s fine. If there is something wrong, that’s because he ate too much for dinner and may have a stomachache.”
Killian and Neil did not expect Paige to find out Killian was pretending to be si*k so quickly
“Sir, have a good rest.
Paige didn’t expose Killian. Instead, she said in a soft voice, “I really should go back. My parents will be worried if I stay any longer.”
“Mrs. Stowe, just stay! If something happens in the middle of the night, we will not be able to find a doctor in a short time. “Neil tried his best to persuade Paige
“Yes, that’s right. You can stay in the room on the south side on the third floor, and Martin will stay in the opposite room. You’ll have separate rooms.”
Killian added.
“Mr. Stowe hasn’t been so happy for a long time! You and Martin are usually busy with work. I don’t know when you will be able to come to see Mr. Stowe next time.
“As the daughter-in-law of the Stowe family, it is reasonable to stay in the Stowe’s place! If you think it is improper, I will immediately get someone to get you a marriage certificate!”
Paige was speechless.
Paige thought it didn’t have to be this way.
Chapter 59
“Mr Killian has told Mr Lusk in advance, and Mr. Lusk has agreed.”
Neil added.
Paige was confused.
She thought, my father agreed?
Impossible!
“This is a voice message from your father”
Killian opened Line and played it in front of Paige.
“Mr. Stowe, you must be joking. Paige is with you, and I am not worried about her. Since that’s the case, I don’t have to open the door for her tonight.
In any case, Paige would be a member of the Stowe family sooner or later. Moreover, Killian promised that he would not let her and Martin stay in the same room. Killian just liked Paige very much and wanted to keep her in the Riverside Villa for a night.
There were dozens of servants in the Riverside Villa, and nothing would happen to Paige.
Therefore, Donald could not refuse, so he agreed to Killian’s request.
Paige was speechless
She didn’t expect his father to be so decisive.
“Martin, take Paige to the room on the south side of the third floor. Someone has cleaned it up.”
Killian turned around and instructed Neil, “Get Paige a lamp and ask when the electrical circuit can be fixed. It has been long.”
“OK”
Neil brought an exquisite lantern made of bamboo to Paige.
“Give it to me.”
Martin took the lantern with one hand and Paige with the other
It was dark on the way to the third floor, but the warm light emitted by the lantern and the warmth from Martin’s palm made Paige feel at ease
“Are you afraid of the dark?”
Martin turned around and asked Paige behind him.
Before Paige could reply, Martin put his arm around her shoulders and said, “If you are afraid, come closer to me.”
Paige didn’t know what to say
She was not afraid of demons and ghosts, not to mention darkness.
She had experienced enough “darkness” in the past.
When they reached the room in the south, Paige found that the lantern was a little superfluous.
In the spacious room, the light did not work, and it was still dark
Under the dim light, Martin looked at Paige. Her bright eyes were like the stars in the night sky and charming.
She looked casual, yet her charming aura couldn’t be hidden.
“I will stay here with you. I will leave after the electric circuit becomes normal.”
Martin could not help but touch Paige’s face.
He found that her face was soft, tender, and smooth. It was a little small, and one hand was more than enough to cover it.
Paige turned her face away and said lightly, “You can go deal with your work”
“Go talk to your grandpa “
“Grandpa has been busy for the whole day. He is going to sleep.’
Parge looked at the clingy guy in front of her and said, “Then go back to your room.
“I want to stay with you.”
Martin could feel that his breathing was getting faster. Paige’s elegant fragrance was so attractive, and he was eager to get closer to her.
Suddenly, his phone rang. After answering the call, he said to Paige in his arms, “The power supply device is faulty. It can’t be repaired tonight.”
Words failed Paige
“I’ll go and see if there are any clothes for you to change into.”
If he did not leave, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself.
Martin entered the cloakroom and found that there was nothing inside.
“Wait for me for a while. I will bring you some clothes.”
He went out for a while and came back soon. “These are prepared by Grandpa in advance. I don’t know if there are suitable ones.” Paige wondered.
Killian is quite thoughtful. Did he expect that I would stay?
Paige picked up the clothes and looked at them under the dim light. They were all sexy lace dresses…
None of them were normal.
Martin also noticed it. He looked at Paige with a faint smile.
“I will go get my clothes.”
Martin went out again. After a while, he held his shirt and pajamas in his hand for her to choose.
The pajamas were big and long. Paige took his shirt and picked a relatively conservative underwear from the pile of sexy clothes. She
was about to enter the bathroom with the lantern.
Suddenly, a strong wind came from nowhere, and the bedroom door slammed shot.
Martin went to open it but failed.
“Mr Killian, you are so smart. You can even think of a method to create a wind like this.”
Neil held back his laughter and looked at the tightly closed door “Mr. Martin will definitely call me to get the key later Look, it is his phone number.
Martin called Neil.
Neil stopped smiling and picked up his phone. He explained seriously, Mr. Martin, that room was temporarily prepared for Mrs. Stowe. There is no spare key. Why don’t you sleep in for a night?” “You have gone a little too far
Martin’s cold voice sounded on the phone. Obviously, he knew what was going on.
“What do you mean? Mr Martin, I don’t understand. The signal is not good. Hello? Mr Martin, hello?”
Neil hung up the phone hurriedly and turned it off.
Martin looked at Paige and said in a seductive voice, “You have to take me in tonight.”
Paige was speechless.
She even began to admire Killian a little.
“Whatever.”
Paige said casually. She knew that Killian would not hand over the key tonight.
The lock was not an intelligent one, and she could not destroy the system inside unless she pried it. However, Killian was considerate enough and would not leave any tools in the room.
Paige took the lantern and entered the bathroom. Soon, the frosted glass door reflected her hazy and seductive shadow.
The door had obviously been changed, and it was more transparent than before.
Martin didn’t expect that his grandfather had done all he could to improve the relationship between Martin and Paige.
The figure on the glass door was discernible. Martin’s breathing became faster bit by bit. He subconsciously looked away, wanting to enjoy the scenery outside the window.
However, the pitter-patter of the water and the fragrance of the bath cream pulled him back.
Paige’s shadow was graceful and exquisite. Through the door, Martin could imagine her enchanting appearance.
He stood up and went to the window, trying to let the slight wind bring away his desire.
Paige came out of the bathroom and saw Martin’s tall figure by the window. She casually said, “I’m done.”
Martin turned around, and the desire that had faded a little with great difficulty rose up again.
Steam spread out from the bathroom behind Paige.
Paige was wearing Martin’s whi*e shirt. After taking a shower, her fair and smooth face was even more delicate, the corners of her eyes were charming, and the beautiful clavicle exposed from her collar was like a butterfly that was about to fly.
Seeing her long and slender legs, Martin swallowed his saliva subconsciously, his heart beating quickly.
“I will go take a bath.”
Martin picked up his pajamas and strode into the bathroom with his long legs. He was afraid that if he was a few steps slower, his emotion would defeat his reason.
Paige’s pleasant fragrance was still lingering in the bathroom. It seemed that he could only take a cold shower tonight.
Chapter 60
The sound of water came from the bathroom, and a tall figure was reflected on the glass door
Paige did not notice it. She turned on her mobile phone to deal with private affairs. After a while, she heard the door open and raised her head casually.
Martin’s hair was wet, Wearing white pajamas, he looked quite masculine.
Paige’s mobile phone rang. It was a long string of numbers different from the normal phone number
She retracted her gaze and answered the call calmly.
The person on the phone said something. Paige came to the balcony. “So””
Not long after, Martin held her from behind. His breath gently hit her ear and made her itchy
He rubbed against her ear greedily like a clingy cat.
Paige could feel his hot temperature, especially somewhere. She said to the person on the phone, “I know. Well, I’m hanging up.”
Martin heard the voice on the other side of the line. It was a male voice, and he felt a little jealous
Just now, when he came out of the shower, Paige paused for a second However, when the phone rang, she did not even look at him and went directly to the balcony to talk on the phone “He is my friend.”
Paige did not know why she explained it to him, and there was a trace of helplessness in her tone. “Let go
“Friend? Who?”
Martin lowered his head to sniff the fragrance of her neck, which was attractive to him.
Being wrapped around him, Paige felt a little strange.
“Is it an ordinary friend or an important friend?”
Martin remained in the same posture, his voice seductive and lustful.
“Not an ordinary one”
They had experienced many things together for many years, and they could be considered friends who had gone through fire and water.
“So he is your important friend.”
Martin raised his eyes to look at her beautiful profile. He became even more jealous. “Is he more important than me?”
“Martin.”
Paige wanted to break free from his embrace, but he held her tightly. She said in a helpless tone. “We have known each other for only a few days.” “For me, it is like a few years.”
Martin’s masculine aura matched Paige’s gentleness perfectly. Paige was almost overwhelmed by his overbearing aura.
“I am thirsty.”
Paige pushed him away and entered the room to get some water. Her face turned hot.
“Where can I sleep tonight?”
Martin followed behind her. He was getting more excited.
On the bed or on the floor Choose one.”
“On the bed.”
Martin looked at Paige and added. “Together with you.”
“Stop dreaming.”
Paige put down the cup and saw that only a pillow and a thin quilt were on the bed. There was not even a sofa in the spacious bedroom. She suddenly realized something.
“I will sleep on the ground.”
Martin sat on the ground and gave the only quilt and pillow to her. “I am not sleepy. Sleep”
The lantern was out of battery, and the whole bedroom was dark.
Paige lay down with the quilt and could vaguely hear Martin’s slight breathing
Martin sat by the bed and gently rubbed her hair. “Good night.”
Paige’s hand was held by him, and she fell asleep unconsciously.
The next morning, hearing the sound from the bathroom, Paige opened her eyes slowly.
It was bright. The light came in through the curtains and seemed faintly dreamy.
Not long after, the sound in the bathroom stopped, and Martin walked out. “You’re awake?”
Paige sat on the bed, with her hair hanging loose over her shoulders. Her dazed and cute look made Martin smile, his eyes gentle.
“Why don’t you sleep for a while longer?”
Martin was still wearing his whi*e pajamas. His masculine aura merged with his usual noble and cold aura and formed an indescribable charm.
Paige got out of bed and said in a casual tone, “I still have to go to work later.”
She had just taken a step when she suddenly kicked something.
It was the sexy pajamas. Martin rolled them into a pillow and put them on the ground. Did he really sleep on the cold ground all night? Paige had mixed feelings in her heart. He didn’t know if it was guilt or uneasiness
At the dining table.
Killian smiled and looked at Paige and Martin who had gotten up early. No matter how he looked at them, they were a perfect match. He smiled happily, “Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”
“The floor is hard I can’t sleep.”
Hearing Martin’s words, Killian and Neil looked at each other. Last night was a rare and good chance, yet Martin chose to be a gentleman and slept on the ground?
“Isn’t there a bed?”
Killian complained in his heart, why don’t you sleep on the bed? Do you still want me to teach you?
I slept on the bed.
“The door was repaired in the morning? Paige looked up.
“What? Yes. “Killian felt a little guilty. He had asked someone to open the door with the key at dawn. He did not know if Paige had found it.
“Oh, I didn’t hear anything.”
Paige sat down and had breakfast. It seemed that she wouldn’t ask for more
“Paige, did the power outage scare you last night? I don’t know how the power supply device suddenly malfunctioned. I promise you that such a thing will never happen.”
“It’s fine.”
Paige knew about his scheme and did not expose it
Killian looked at the sensible and well-behaved Paige in front of him and then at Martin Suddenly, he got angry.
He thought he did not grasp such a good opportunity!
After breakfast, Martin sent Paige to work.
Neil looked at their back and silently took out a girl’s bag “Mr. Killian, Mrs. Stowe forgot to take her bag.
He could have reminded Paige earlier, but to create more chances for Martin, he pretended not to see it.
He told Killian after they left.
“Very good!”
Killian did not expect Neil to be so clever. He said with satisfaction, “Ask Martin to send it to her later There will be another chance for him to meet her.
“Mr. Killian, you have done so much for Mr. Martin’s marriage.”
“You too. After what happened last night, I wonder if Paige is still willing to come to my place. Will she see through my scheme?”
“What happened last night was just a coincidence. Mrs. Stowe is so innocent and should not think about other things.
“I hope so.”
Killian thought, if Paige no longer came, I would have to pretend to be si*k. For the sake of his disappointing grandson, he had sacrificed too much.
In the car…
Martin looked at Paige beside him and recalled how she looked when she was wearing his shirt last night.
Her fair face, alluring collarbone, and her long and slender legs.
