Chapter 87
I Need a Wife
“I don’t wanna bother him with a los*r like Nigel.”
Paige believed that she could bring Nigel down by herself.
It dawned on Deon that Paige was an independent career driven woman who could tackle problems alone.
“Ms. Tate, you make me admire you even more.”
Deon looked at Paige with admiration.
Paige didn’t look up at Deon. “If you have nothing to do, you can go to scrub toilets,” said Paige.
“I… I’m gonna go back to work!”
Deon hurriedly left Paige’s office, because he didn’t wanna scrub the toilets.
At night.
Sitting on the couch, Danica took out her phone and called her five sons.
“We’ve found your little sister. As it happens, she’s on summer break. I want you to finish the work at hand and get home as quickly as
possible. Actually, I don’t care whether you finish the work or not, you gotta make time for your sister!”
“I know that you’re busy, but your sister’s back. You and your brothers must come back for her and stay for a while. Do you hear me?”
“If I find out that anyone dares to ice Paige out or pick on her, he’ll be sorry!”
“You can come home without your luggage or work, but don’t forget to get your sister a present!”
Danica made four calls in a row. A few seconds later, Danica finally got Jack’s number. Jack was the last person Danica called.
“Just so you know, you all aren’t allowed to miss all the festivals this year, especially Paige’s birthday! If I catch you doing that, I’m
gonna kick your a*s! You understand?”
Jack complained, “M*m, I’m also your son. How can you play favorites? I can’t believe you do this to me just because of the missing daughter you just found.”
“Humph, you still know that I’m your mother. How many times have you come back home to see me this year?”
“I… It wasn’t my fault. My schedule didn’t allow it. Besides, I never forgot to get you gifts and money!”
Jack sounded frustrated.
However, Danica ignored it. “Humph, I don’t need your gifts and money!” she scoffed.
Jack didn’t know how to reply. After all, Danica was rich.
“Anyway, you have to come back home this time. Oh, right…” Danica suddenly remembered something. She added, “Call me in
advance before you come back.”
“What? Are you gonna cook a big meal for me?”
“Oh, come on. You’re a top star, but all you can think of is food.”
Danica said in an accusing tone.
Jack complained, “A top star also needs to eat!”
“Actually, it’s Zoe, the daughter of the Bodley family who wants to see you. She’s been here for me lately. Zoe’s beautiful, well-educated, and graceful…”
“Okay, please stop. I know what you mean, but I’m too busy!”
“Hear me out, Jack.

“You’re old enough to start a family,” Danica said in a serious tone.
Get Dopus
“M*m, don’t forget about my four older brothers. If you wanna be a matchmaker, you should set them up with girls, not me!”
“I wish I could, but they don’t listen to me. Besides, Zoe likes you. I have no choice.”
“M*m, you…” Jack covered his heart in disbelief, not knowing what to say.
“Anyway, don’t forget your sister’s present. That’s all. Bye.”
Jack felt a sense of loss. If it weren’t for Paige, Jack thought that Danica wouldn’t have called him.
After calling her five sons, Danica finally felt relieved.
“Honey, are you thirsty? Come on, have some tea. It’s good for your health.”
Smiling, Donald considerately handed Danica a cup of tea.
As it happened, Danica was thirsty after five calls. She took the cup from Donald and drank.
“I made you tea when you were calling Jack. It isn’t cold or hot. A perfect temperature.”
