Chapter 1077
After Grant was apprehended, his financial issues came to light.
“I understand,” Paige responded.
After hanging up the phone, Paige took a deep breath.
Then she turned to Baillie and said, “Let’s go, Lynn has been waiting for us for too long.”
“Alright.”
Baillie reached out and held Paige’s hand.
The temperature in the mountains was only in the teens.
Combined with the rain, Paige’s hand felt very cold.
Baillie instinctively tightened his grip on her hand.
In a café at the foot of the mountain, a little girl was eating a piece of blueberry cake with a small spoon.
Another little boy sat across from her, helping his friend with math problems.
Since the beginning of the funeral, Kate Scott had been keeping an eye on the little girl.
Kate sat at the bar, smiling as she watched the little girl earnestly devouring the cake.
Rosalynn Tesdal and Wayne sat together.
Wayne stared at Kate vigilantly. “What are you up to?” Rosalynn gently nudged Wayne with her elbow. “Don’t be rude!”
Wayne furrowed his brow. “I can’t help but feel that she wants to take my child away.”
Rosalynn was speechless, but indeed, Kate’s gaze toward her daughter seemed a bit too eager!
Just then, the little girl, who had been focused on eating her cake, suddenly looked up and gazed outside the window.
Then, with a beaming smile, she exclaimed, “Paige!”
After calling out, she abandoned her cake and bounced out of the café.
By the time Paige reached the doorway, the little girl immediately threw herself into her arms, hugging her tightly.
“You’ve been gone for so long, and it started raining, and you didn’t come back!” the little girl said.
“I needed to bid a proper farewell to my mother because she’s living far away now, and we won’t be able to meet often, Paige explained gently as she held the little
girl.
The little girl kissed her cheek. “It’s okay, when you miss Mom, just tell Baillie, and he’ll bring you here!”
Baillie smiled and gently stroked the little girl’s face. “She’s right.”
“When did you two become so close?” Paige looked at the two of them in puzzlement.
“We’ve always been close!” the little girl blinked her eyes.
“Is your brother still doing his math problems?” Paige glanced at the little boy who was still engrossed in his work.
“Oh, dear, it seems like your brother’s new friend isn’t very smart. He seems to not know anything,” little Ivy lamented.
“Alright, Ivy, you can’t keep letting Paige carry you all the time; she’ll get tired too,” Rosalynn reminded.
Ivy wiggled her body and got down from Paige’s embrace.
She hurriedly ran back and returned with a small cake in her hands. “Paige, this tastes really good. Have some!”
“I was wondering why you were eating the cake so slowly. So, you saved it for Paige?”
