She knew that Enrico was a plutocrat who supported the rebuilding of the slums because of her, but he still had plutocrat blood in his bones and wouldn’t care about the so-called big picture.
Because of this, she preferred Enrico and Rafael to get along harmoniously, and did not want the existing situation to be broken again due to some past events.
Carrie listened, understanding the importance of this matter, and said, “Yes, Sister Paige, I won’t mention a word about it from now on.”
“Uh-huh.” Paige’s face softened a bit and she turned her head to look out the window, “Like you said, now that I’m idle, I cherish the moments when the dust settles.”
Carrie followed her line of sight out the window, the splendor of the city as far as they could see.
“Yeah, idle.” Carrie said softly, “Think about the three years you were gone Sister Paige, think about that time in River Town … Back then it was hard to even think about how well the redevelopment of the slums would move forward.”
And now, they could sit down and sip a cup of tea in peace, instead of rushing through a bite and moving on to something else.
Such peace and quiet was something they should cherish.
Paige lifted the cup in front of her and Carrie gently clinked glasses.
“By the way, Sister Paige, you just said two things, what’s the other thing?” Carrie asked.
At that, Paige’s face was not as cool as it was just now, and she cleared her throat somewhat less comfortably, putting down her cup and saying, “Those people in the group are too rowdy, and you’re not like them, you do things steadily, and you don’t hide anything for people, so I’ve come to ask you what I did last night when I was drunk.”
“Ah …”
Carrie was stunned when she heard that, and when she thought about what happened last night, she wanted to laugh and tried desperately to hold it back, “Sister Paige you’re purposely complimenting me so that I’ll be the one to make this opening.”
“So are you going to say it or not?” Paige picked up the teapot on the side and personally poured tea for her.
Carrie hurriedly cupped her teacup and sighed before saying, “Well, I’ll be blunt then.”
“Say.” Paige looked over at her.
“It’s nothing really, it’s just that you’re drunk, Sister Paige, and you’re expressing your feelings a little more directly and not noticing the presence of so many of us.” Carrie said as subtly as she could.
“Direct what?” Paige sounded confused.
Carrie didn’t know what to say and thought for a moment, “It’s you and your brother-in-law acting out in front of us, the way you usually do in private.”
The word “private” was emphasized.
Paige was stunned, suddenly thought of that emoticon in the group and Enrico’s smug look when he saw it, and was immediately struck by lightning, “You mean, I jumped on Enrico and kissed him, in front of you guys?”
At that, Carrie looked at her with gossipy eyes, and the words written right in her eyes-
You guys in private really is so get along, Paige sister not only married fierce, usually that kiss up also fierce ah, brother-in-law look quite strong people, in the end is not in the use.
“I really kissed him in front of you guys?” Paige asked.
“Yes, I have never seen Paige sis you so little girl, so sweet, shouting hugs and kisses went up to nibble … went up to kiss.” Carrie laughed.
“…”
Also shouted hugging and kissing up.
Paige suddenly the whole person is not good, picked up the cup in front of him to drink tea in a big mouth, take a hand to fan the beginning of hot cheeks, “In addition to the six of you, who else is there?”
Carrie recalls, “Brother-in-law’s legal team, President Rafael, Butler Beau, Olivia, Jaden, Dr. Clinton …”
“Stop.” Paige waved her hand in the air, “I suddenly don’t want to know.”
She wanted to find a thunderbolt and strike herself dead.
Carrie stifled a laugh, “Sister Paige, it’s nothing, you’re supposed to be a couple, it’s normal to be affectionate.”
“Stop it.” Paige no longer wanted to hear it.
“It’s really quite good, seeing you express yourself like a little girl, Sister Paige, we don’t know how happy we are, usually when we see you have to deal with so many things, we are afraid that you are under too much pressure, like a bowstring tensed up too tightly will backfire on you.”
Carrie said heartily, “Especially last night, we were scared to death when you drank so much and suddenly took the car out and almost crashed it into a wall.”
“I drove?” Paige was baffled.
“You even forgot that?”
Carrie said unexpectedly, gesturing to the gauze on her head, “You got that injury when you hit yourself braking sharply, don’t you remember?”
“Doesn’t ring a bell.” Paige shook her head.
“That said, my brother-in-law’s maneuver last night surprised us all, too.”
Carrie was still in shock as she recalled the events of last night, “When you pulled out, he charged at you without even thinking, half of his body hanging onto the door to try and stop you from driving, and you ended up driving the car crooked and knocking him out of the car, and he rolled a couple times on the ground, and you almost ran over him when your wheels went askew.”
“…”
That car was driving really messed up at the time.
A lot of them tried to go up and stop it all got knocked out of the way, and they didn’t dare to move behind it, except for my brother-in-law, who pounced on it over and over again without trying to kill himself.
“…”
Paige’s face went white.
“Then when I saw your car spinning around and about to hit the wall, I don’t know what my brother-in-law was thinking, but he suddenly sprinted right in front of the wall to meet the direction you were driving in.”
Carrie said, “We couldn’t even breathe at that point, it was that far away, and on the off chance that you ended up driving in a straight line, straight at him.”
“…”
“Luckily, you braked the car, otherwise … the consequences would have been unimaginable.” Carrie said heartily.
Paige sat stiffly in the card seat, no wonder she had a blurry image in her mind of Enrico standing in front of her car, so, at that moment, she was slamming into him.
His eyes were desperate in that moment, but he half-stepped.
This man …
“Eh?” Carrie looked to her hand, a little confused, “Sister Paige, where’s your ring?”
“Ring?” Paige was baffled.
“Yeah, my brother-in-law gave you a ring last night, when you threw it out, I felt like a shooting star passing by, it was especially sparkling, and I wanted to say I’d seen it today.”
Carrie stared intently at both of her hands, “Why isn’t the ring on?”
“And I threw it away?”
Paige wasn’t impressed at all.
How much had she really done this night.
“Well, you and your brother-in-law were arguing then, about something I don’t know, we were far away.”
Carrie said, “I watched you throw the ring, and my brother-in-law turned to pick it up, and that bent over figure is … kinda pathetic when you think about it.”
The ring.
So there was a ring.
Paige’s gaze drifted off, suddenly picking up a side bag and standing up, “No more, I’ll go back to the manor first.”
After saying that, Paige hurriedly left.
Carrie sat in her seat, silently glancing at the food in front of her that had moved a few chopsticks, a little forlorn, she hadn’t finished eating yet.
Forget it, bring it back, don’t waste the food.
President Rafael seems to be quite good at this, usually when she tries to make it, she has to eat two bites, this time it’s made so perfectly, so bring it to him.
…
As soon as Paige got back to the manor she rushed into the bedroom and started rummaging through the boxes.
