Chapter 1968
Paige’s words struck Rosalynn like a bolt of lightning. She had never thought of it that way.
After all, Wayne was still in the throes of amnesia, and he seemed to be getting along fine with Liam.
Back in Norhaven.
They would often played chess for hours, sometimes even an entire day.
Paige even joked about Wayne raising Liam as his future son-in-law, that way they wouldn’t have to endure the pain of their daughter leaving for another family.c2
Wayne even seemed to seriously consider it.
“Just kidding, don’t take it to heart. The current President Silverman isn’t the same as before, he wouldn’t do such a thing.” Paige quickly reassured Rosalynn.
“I know.” Rosalynn replied.
Perhaps fearing Rosalynn would overthink, Paige picked up her chubby baby.
“Do you think my little bundle of joy has grown since you left?”
The chubby baby, not understanding her mother’s words, giggled in delight as she was lifted up.
Her wide eyes crinkling into cute little lines as she laughed.
Rosalynn chuckled along, “I wish time could speed up. I can’t wait to hold the little one when you come back to H City.”
“Very soon!” Paige assured, nodding eagerly.
The video call lasted until Trista fell asleep from exhaustion.
Throughout, neither Paige nor Rosalynn brought up Liam again.
After the call ended, Paige let out a sigh, looking at Baillie who was reviewing a contract across the table, “Baillie, did I almost cause a disaster?” “You’re fine.” Baillie capped his pen, stood up and sat down beside Paige, “Knowing Rosalynn, do you think she would let any suspicion go unchecked?”
Paige frowned, “You mean… Liam was really sent away by Wayne? That can’t be…”
“Is it bad if he was?” Baillie questioned, “He’s achieved a leap in social class that many people could only dream of.”
“Well, it’s not necessarily bad.” Paige carefully chose her words, “If Liam didn’t want to go, but ended up going anyway, why do you think that is?”
“He was forced.” Baillie answered bluntly.
“Exactly… that changes the situation entirely.” Paige concluded, folding her hands in prayer, “Please, please, let it not be Wayne’s doing!”
Baillie was amused by Paige’s dramatic reaction.
He pulled her into his arms and showered her with kisses.
Paige was left stunned, “What’s going on?”
“Nothing, Mrs. Scott, you carry on with your prayers.” Baillie answered, smiling.
Paige was speechless.
How could she continue praying when he was behaving so brazenly? Wouldn’t that be sacrilegious?
No more prayers!
