Chapter 447 Gifts
After Alice left, Lamont said to Paige, “Ignore her. If you don’t want to see her. I’ll fire her.”
Amily was stunned. She didn’t expect Lamont to be so protective of Paige as soon as he returned home…
Then how would Patricia feel?
Patricia was also a little confused. When Alice praised her just now, it hadn’t occurred to her that this kind of praise would hurt Paige…
But Lamont’s words frustrated her as if only Paige’s feelings mattered.
Was Patricia not worthy of being praised?
Paige looked at Lamont. She did not expect that the sloppy Lamont would actually see through Alice’s thoughts and directly point them out.
It seemed that Lamont was perceptive.
“All of you, listen up.”
The domestic workers standing around him immediately perked up and listened attentively.
“The two young ladies of this family must be treated equally. If any of you flatters one and slights the other or sows discord between them, it won’t be as simple as getting fired, understand?”
“Yes, Mr. Lamont.” The domestic workers bowed in unison, not daring to disobey Lamont.
“All of you may leave.” After they left, Lamont said to Paige, “I can finally have some quiet. Let’s enjoy our meal.”
He picked up some food first for Paige and then for Patricia. “You did very well just now. When I criticized Alice, it wasn’t because I was mad at you.”
Patricia was originally dejected. When she heard this, she was slightly moved. Lamont cared about her feelings… It seemed that she mattered to him.
“We are a family. Don’t become chess pieces of others. Eat.” Donald and Danica looked at each other and suddenly found that their son had grown up and was thinking about everything…
After the meal.
Lamont pulled the corner of Paige’s clothes. “Come with me. I have a gift for you.”
Danica wondered what kind of gift an insensitive man like Lamont had prepared for Paige. Why didn’t he take it out but kept it in the car?
When Lamont opened the trunk of the long luxury car, a large pile of pink balloons floated out…
“I pumped every balloon. Aren’t they nice?”
He saw someone doing this on the Internet, so he silently noted it down and wanted to give Paige a surprise…
“It’s so romantic…” Donald was surprised that Lamont had such a romantic side. How did he manage to keep so many balloons in the trunk? It was beautiful. Patricia looked at the balloons flying into the sky with envy. She suddenly felt that Paige was so lucky. Lamont had never prepared such a surprise for her before…
“Welcome home!” was written on each balloon. Needless to say, such bad handwriting must come from Lamont.
“Your suffering and unhappiness are over. Stay with us from now on.” Lamont patted Paige’s head. “We’ll all take good care of you.”
When all the balloons flew out of the trunk, the star lights inside were still flashing with dreamy light, and there were words saying “Welcome home, Paige.”
More gifts were piled below the words. Lamont took a gift and gave it to Patricia.
“This is for you.”
“Thank you, Lamont.”
