Chapter 27
At the end, Paige grumbled.
“Don’t worry, my boss… is super generous.” Rosalynn chuckled, pushing a cup of ice cream towards Paige, “Calm your jets.”
“You’re just too nice. That’s why those cowards in your company dare to throw their problems at you!”
It was all thanks to Paige that they found Trevor’s mom’s account.
After dinner, Rosalynn and Paige walked home hand in hand.
“When I was young, my parents and I would often walk on this street holding hands after dinner,” Paige patted a thick sycamore tree by the roadside, “Back then, these trees weren’t as lush as they are now.”
Paige’s father passed away in a car accident when she was ten. A few years later, her mother married a rich businessman, and also that year, with her stepfather’s help, Paige went to study abroad.
“Missing your dad?” Rosalynn asked gently.
Paige bit her lip and nodded, “Yeah, a lot.”
Rosalynn caressed the back of her hand, in a comforting gesture.
She didn’t even know who her own father was. Her mom got pregnant and returned to the L City. Her grandparents had no idea who the father was.
Later on, she learned from her mom’s drunken ramblings that her father had just proposed when he got caught cheating. Afterward, Rosalynn never asked about her dad again. But her mom wasted her life away, losing herself in alcohol.
Paige didn’t stay overnight.
Rosalynn locked the door, snuggled into a corner of the couch, opened her phone, and sent a message to Wayne.
“President Silverman, I’ve already moved out of Garden Lakeside. The key is on the shoe rack.”
After sending the message, there was no reply.
Anyway, Rosalynn hadn’t expected a response. She started to pack her belongings for her business trip to Q City tomorrow.
Halfway through her packing, her phone buzzed.
She immediately grabbed it, and the caller ID displayed Evan.
1/2
Rosalynn felt somewhat ridiculous. She actually thought the call was from Wayne.
“Evan, I’m sorry, I’ve been so busy lately that I forgot to take you out for dinner and buy you a birthday present.”
“No worries!” Evan was as cheerful as ever, “In that case, how about you treat me to dinner tomorrow?”
“Unfortunately, that’s not gonna work!” Rosalynn said helplessly, “I’ve gotta go to Q City for a week-long business trip first thing in the morning.”
“Q City?”
“Yeah,” Rosalynn replied.
“Alright, I see. Since you have an early trip tomorrow, I won’t bother you any longer. Goodnight, Rosalynn.”
“Goodnight, Evan.”
Evan quickly hung up.
Rosalynn didn’t think much of the call.
At the same time, at the Silverman family’s old house, the banquet welcoming Ms. Rosso was coming to an end.
Wayne said goodbye to an esteemed elder and walked back.
The living room was brightly lit.
Miss Maddie Fuller, holding Heatherway’s hand, was overjoyed.
“Ms. Rosso, feel free to request Wayne for the engagement party. We’ll definitely fulfill your wishes!”
“Engagement? Who’s getting engaged?”
Sitting in the wheelchair, the old grandmother, originally playing with a crocheted doll, raised her head upon hearing the word “engagement” Her murky eyes seemed to light up.
“Mom, Wayne’s getting engaged!” Maddie Fuller said cheerfully.
“Wayne’s getting engaged…” The grandmother looked down at the doll in her hands and cheered up again, “Wayne’s marrying Rosalynn! That’s great! Awesome!”
The smiles froze on everyone’s face.
Wayne just got to the door.
“Heidi! Where’s the red envelope? The big red envelope I prepared for Rosalynn? Hurry and bring it!” The old grandmother shouted excitedly.
Heatherway glanced at everyone.
