The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love novel Chapter 971

Chapter 971

Actually, Paige wasn’t even sure herself.

Her subconscious complaints were actually a test for Baillie.

After marrying, he slowly pulled her out of the mess she was in before.

He showed her what it meant to be loved and made her realize that she was good enough.

Today, she took Rosalynn’s words to heart.

But she was too worried to tell Baillie the truth.

So, when she heard Baillie’s words, she couldn’t react in time, and then an unprecedented sense of grievance flooded her heart.

Maybe she should let her relationship with Baillie become stronger.

Paige buried her head in Baillie’s chest, hugged his waist with both hands, and cried, “I’m sorry, I lied.”

Baillie was a bit flustered for a moment.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry, just take your time and tell me, okay?”

Later, Paige told Baillie that Peyton brought someone to the company to demand money, but after being refused, she took more than seven million under the pretext of divorce.

Baillie sat across from her, wiping her tears with a tissue.

He knew that Paige had given the money but didn’t know that Paige had given it because Peyton said she wanted a divorce.

“Actually, I knew she was lying to me, but I just couldn’t help but want to prove something. Paige choked up, looking pitifully at Baillie and sobbing. “We’re married, does this seven million count as our marital property?”

Baillie looked at her with a mix of heartache and helplessness.

“Firstly, the money was earned prior to our marriage, so it does not fall under joint assets. Secondly, upon our marriage, you signed a marital property agreement acknowledging that the money you earned remains solely yours,” Baillie explained.

“I just guessed that you gave her the money, but I didn’t expect it was for this reason.” Baillie’s eyes were full of concern, and he squeezed Paige’s hand again, “Do you still want to test your mother?”

Paige was silent for a moment, then shook her head as she looked at Baillie, “I don’t want to test her anymore”

“Why?” Baillie asked patiently

He didn’t think there was anything wrong with Paige not being able to let go of her mother.

Her mother had given birth to her, raised her, and was once the dearest person to her in the world.

For over two decades, her mother’s influence had permeated her every word and action. Even now, she remained in good physical and mental health, radiating positivity and kindness

That was not easy at all

Paige looked at Baithe and said, “I’m not unloved”

Baillie was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and asked, “Who loves you?”
