Chapter 1105
Rosalyn’s grandpa, an old man she’d never met, was originally a rich kid from a noble family, but they fell on hard times. He was extremely handsome, and Hilaria fell head over heels for him the first time she laid eyes on him So she married him, and he became the freeloading son–in–law of the Jared family.
At first, he behaved like an angel, but when Hilaria took over the family business, he started to act like a jerk. Banking on Hilaria’s affection for him, he was out and about causing trouble all day.
Hilaria tried to discipline him multiple times, but to no avail. Juggling a ton of business stuff and managing two mischievous sons, she just threw her hands up and stopped dealing with him. Until one day, he died in a car crash because he was drunk driving.
At that time, Hilaria was still a smoking hot wealthy woman with plenty of men who’d kill to marry her, including some young, handsome dudes. But Hilaria didn’t want to get involved in another relationship.
When Hilaria first mentioned this man to Rosalyn, she just said one thing.
“He was easy on the eyes, but dumb as a rock!”
“He always thought he was some business genius born at the wrong time and always wanted to take money from me for his investments, but they all ended in a flop. He never saw himself as the fool he was; instead, he thought I was blocking his path to fortune and success!”
“So, he’s just like Latham, then, always blaming others!” Rosalyn sharply commented.
“Exactly!” Hilaria agreed, nodding her head.
In general, Rosalyn comforted Hilaria like this from time to time, which made her feel less guilty about Jason and Latham.
In a blink of an eye, Baillie Scott also came back from school. This time, Paige gave him a heads–up and asked if she could pick him up from the airport. Baillie missed her, so he agreed.
After getting off the plane, Baillie was full of energy. As soon as he stepped out of the exit, he saw Paige waving at him.
He ran over to her without even grabbing his luggage, and they hugged tightly in the bustling airport.
“Okay, okay, everyone is staring,” Paige said, a bit embarrassed. “Let’s go home; I’ll hug you properly there!”
“Okay.”
Baillie nodded.
On the way home, Paige told Baillie about Calvin’s experience and the last time Kelsey Sharp spread rumors and Rosalyn took her to confront her.
Baillie found it very comforting. He even thought about having his wife record some stories so he could listen to her voice to soothe him when she wasn’t around. When they got home and walked through the door, Baillie pushed Paige against the wall and kissed her passionately,
When they finished, there was a hint of moisture in Baillie’s eyes, and he looked at Paige with a dazed and adoring gaze.
Paige touched his face and asked, “Did you miss me?”
Baillie nodded without hesitation Thinking about having to go back in a few months, he felt a bit anxious.
“Do you have to go back again?” Paige asked gently.
“Mhm.” Baillie nodded, looking quite upset.
Paige chuckled, then kissed his lips: “How about I go with you next time?”
Baillie’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
“Of course!” Paige answered cheerfully, “I heard you mention me a lot at school; we should probably give your professors a chance to meet me in person, right?” Baillie’s face brightened up instantly, and his smile was as sweet as sugar.
He nodded.
“I have something else for you.” Paige whispered in Baillie’s ear.
