Gabriel twirled the tiny metal ball around his neck and smiled cheekily, “Thank you daddy.”
Giving him a gift, so should he get one too?
He lifted his little face to look at Enrico and ran his little hands over himself, touching nothing.
After thinking about it, Gabriel stood on his tiptoes and stretched his neck out to give Enrico a hard kiss on the cheek, the kind with drool, “I don’t have anything to give you, so I’ll just give you a nice smelling kiss.”
Enrico sat there with his head bowed, his form frozen once more.
In the next second, he pushed the little guy’s head away with a slap, “Who said your kisses were scented? Where’s the illusion?”
“Doesn’t it smell good?” Gabriel stood on his tiptoes again and leaned in with his little pink mouth, “You kiss again, come on, you kiss again.”
“…”
Enrico blocks Gabriel’s face from being kissed with one hand and takes out his cell phone to send a message to Dr. Clinton.
[Enrico: Seal up all the medicine and find the safest place to keep it].
After sending the message, his palm was a wet mess.
The little guy kisses him again on the palm of his hand to prove that his kisses smell good.
Enrico looked at the little face in front of him with a million dislikes.
Really, if only Paige were that enthusiastic.
…
“Sister Paige, right now the people who came back from Wind Island have basically been arranged, and those who are willing to work in Temple in Heaven are already doing their training.”
“None of the plutocrats have moved on their side either.”
“They don’t have the guts to make a move now, the Reeves family and Thomas’s previous experience is right there.”
“Now that the iron triangle of Paige, her brother-in-law, and Bing Bing’s presidential husband has been formed, those who aren’t afraid of death can come.”
New Rose Estate, Paige was sitting in her study, and several people from Peak Club pulled out chairs and sat in front of her, almost occupying half the room, talking about things, the atmosphere was lively, not like a meeting, but more like a chat.
Each also had a cup of coffee in their hands.
“Still, don’t get carried away, Temple in Heaven is still developing.” Paige sat there, admonishing them in a light tone.
“Yes, copy that.” Several people responded in unison, among them, Derrick and David glanced at each other and said, “But Sister Paige, this project to rebuild the slums is finally finalized, shouldn’t we celebrate appropriately as well?”
Celebrate?
Paige thought about it and suddenly her cell phone vibrated, she picked it up and saw that it was Olivia calling, but the phone vibrated a few times and hung up again.
“You guys talk first.” Paige got up, grabbed her phone and walked out the door, pulling it closed and sending a video call straight through.
Just as well, she wanted to see Gabriel.
The video connected.
On the screen, Olivia tapped her heart and was looking at her with palpitations, and Paige was puzzled, “What’s wrong, Olivia?”
Olivia glanced to the side, seemingly judging whether she could whisper before saying, “Nothing, it’s just that just now young master called Gabriel over, and didn’t let me follow, his face looked bad, and Gabriel didn’t come back for a long time, so I thought I’d better give you a call, and it was just after I called over that Gabriel came out. ”
That’s why I called and hung up.
“Enrico looks pale?” Paige was a little stunned, obviously Enrico was fine when she left in the morning.
“Mommy Mommy!” Gabriel’s voice came over the phone.
The camera shifted, and Olivia crouched down and scooped Gabriel up into her arms, and a small white face filled Paige’s phone, a pair of gray eyes born with exceptional delicacy.
Paige couldn’t help but smile, “Gabriel, what is Daddy looking for you for?”
It can’t be about early childhood education again.
“Daddy gave me a present.” Gabriel answered nicely, staring at her, then asked, “Mommy, where are you, when are you coming back?”
Paige was stunned, “What did you call him?”
“Daddy.” Gabriel said leaning against Olivia.
Paige gazed at her son on the screen, she was still worrying about how to make father and son get along better and more naturally, step by step, Gabriel had already changed his name without being told.
Her eyes became extra soft, “Gabriel, you’re so sweet.”
“Heh heh.” Gabriel smiled a little smugly.
“Your daddy must be so happy.” Paige was a little sorry, she should have been there to witness the scene, and Enrico must have froze then too.
“Daddy’s happy, he even gave me this present.”
Gabriel nodded and gave the cord around his neck a tug and a small metal ball spun up and into Paige’s field of vision.
Across the screen, Paige gazed at the one metal ball, her smile faltering.
Of course she knew about the metal ball.
She was the one who had personally put the metal ball that held the medicine into a glass bottle and asked Enrico to bring it to Dr. Clinton.
“Is this from Daddy?” Paige asked, her voice starting to sound unnatural.
“Yeah, is it pretty?”
Gabriel asked as he grabbed the metal ball, the intricately carved metal ball glowing brightly in the sun.
Paige looked at it for a moment before the words came out of her throat in a grueling rush, “It looks good.”
“I think it looks good too.” Gabriel said happily.
“Okay, Gabriel, Mommy’s got a little something going on over here, so I’ll hang up now.”
Paige said as she hung up the phone and stood still for a long time before realizing that her legs were a little paralyzed, and a biting coldness spread from her fingertips all over her body, so cold that she wanted to shiver.
Thousands of ways to try to hide it, the result is that he still knows.
There was a delightful burst of laughter coming from the den, not knowing what everyone was talking about again, and it was a hilarious distraction.
Paige gripped her cell phone and pursed her dry lips as she reached out and pushed the door open and walked in.
“Sister Paige.” Everyone smiled and turned their heads to look at her.
“Uh-huh.” Paige watched as she lifted her leg and walked over to the desk, putting her phone down and staring at the papers in front of her, her thoughts wandering.
It wasn’t until it was completely quiet in the study that she lifted her face, only to see several people staring at her, Nick frowning, “Sister Paige, are you okay?”
“What’s wrong?” Paige asked, she hadn’t been listening to their conversation at all.
Lamont sat down and said, “We were discussing where would be a good place to go for a potluck dinner, Nick’s brother said he’d close the bar for the day and let us have fun, what do you think?”
Potluck.
Paige sat there, her eyes moving, her cold fingers slowly curling up.
After a moment, she looked over at them and said faintly, “How about coming to The Gustin family’s villa’s estate?”
“The manor of The Gustin family’s villa?” The crowd was shocked.
“Rebuilding the slums is arguably my destiny, and I couldn’t have gotten to where I am today without the dedication of many people.”
Paige said, “I thought it would be nice to throw a party and invite President Rafael, all the members of Temple in Heaven as it first took shape, everyone in the Gustin Group consortium involved in this, and some of the friends I know well from Wind Island.”
“The Gustin family’s villa estate, the same The Gustin family’s villa estate that is known as one family and a half?” Derrick asked incredulously.
“Uh-huh.” Paige nodded.
The crowd couldn’t help but suck in a breath and turned their heads to Carrie in unison, “I heard that The Gustin family’s villa can be several times more luxurious than the Presidential Palace.”
