Paige smiled and poked his arm, looked at him, and then turned and left.
“…”
Enrico looked at her sideways, walking so fast, and still telling him that her heart was with him?
Heh.
Women.
Enrico turned around, leaned lazily against the railing, and looked coldly up at Alonso, who was standing across from him.
He had inexplicably run out and unnecessarily caused his woman more trouble.
“…”
Alonso noticed his gaze and was a little puzzled. The Folsom family was protective of their family members, so it was understandable that they didn’t like him, but why did he care?
After a pause, Alonso walked towards Enrico, wanting to talk to him about something.
Enrico withdrew his blade-like gaze and turned around and left.
Alonso looked down at himself and laughed. He had drifted on the lake for all these years, and had become hated by everyone.
…
Paige found Blanca in the small living room of the yacht. She was sitting alone on the sofa. Apart from the trench coat, she was wearing a simple white shirt with camel-colored trousers. The hem of the shirt was skillfully gathered at the waist, making her look even slimmer.
She held a glass of water and took out a painkiller and swallowed it.
“Does the wound still hurt?”
Paige walked in.
Seeing her, Blanca’s pale face broke into a smile, and she said, “No, I took some medicine on time. You sit.”
Blanca observed Paige’s face and saw that after she took the antidote, her face gradually turned red, and she let out a sigh of relief.
The small living room was really small. After setting down the sofas on both sides, they could not take many steps. Paige did not want to stand and talk to her, so she sat down next to her.
After Eastdown had removed the misunderstanding, the relationship between the two of them had eased considerably, but it was still far from the point where they could talk heart to heart.
So the two of them sat there, the atmosphere inexplicably awkward.
Paige then went straight to the point, looking at her and asking, “You’re not going to tell him?”
Blanca and Alonso’s falling out had started because of her, and now that she wasn’t dead, she had to explain herself, right?
Upon hearing this, Blanca looked at her strangely, “It’s your choice. If you want to tell him, then tell him. If you don’t want to, then I won’t say another word.”
“…”
Paige was a little dumbfounded, and then she laughed, “I thought you were holding back because you were still remembering his leaving back then.”
It turned out that she was just giving her the choice.
Blanca shook her head, her attitude serious and firm, ‘It doesn’t matter what I think.”
What matters is what she thinks.
“So what do you think?’ Paige looked at her with a smile.
Blanca was taken aback by the question, and looking at the smile in Paige’s eyes, she suddenly realized that she had come here specifically to care about her. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and the corner of her lips curled up involuntarily.
She looked deeply into Paige’s eyes and said honestly, word by word, “I haven’t really thought about it, really.”
From the moment she received the ‘death news’ from Paige that year, she had lost the ability to think emotionally.
“If you hate him, I can stay away from him,” Paige said, gazing at her.
The obvious bias in these words made Blanca’s heart jump again, as if a small flame had been lit in her cold and numb body.
“You… why…”
Blanca wanted to ask, but when she spoke, she didn’t know what to ask.
Paige looked at her, then took off the shoes on her feet, curled up her legs and hugged her knees as she sat on the sofa, “Actually, at first I really didn’t like you, I thought you were too indifferent, so I would rather jump off a cliff than admit you.”
“…”
Blanca lowered her eyes in self-reproach.
“But then, when I saw the scars on your arms, I realized that everyone has a hidden side. You are used to building walls around yourself, keeping the bloodshed inside.”
Paige was completely honest with her, her eyes were crystal clear. “Then after experiencing all those things, I thought, it doesn’t seem that hard to forgive you.”
Forgive.
Hearing this word, Blanca was completely stunned, her eyes reddened for a moment, and she turned her face away, pressing her hand against her eyes.
“Why, are you afraid of crying in front of me?” Paige laughed.
“No.”
She just didn’t have the right to cry in front of her and give her negative emotions.
Paige glanced over her shoulder and took out a few paper towels from the side and handed them to her, “Although I have forgiven you, I still can’t change my mouth for the time being, it’s a bit awkward, so you shouldn’t expect too much.”
“It’s only right that you never call me for the rest of your life,”
Blanca said without thinking, and her words came out quickly and anxiously.
As long as she lives a good life, that’s all that matters.
After she finished speaking, Blanca looked at the tissue in her hand. She carefully took it, but didn’t wipe her face with it. Instead, she just held it in her hand, feeling its tangible presence.
“…”
Paige watched her like this, her throat slightly caught.
She had never really understood Blanca before, and she had no idea what this woman had been like in the past. But now, it was as if there was a wall made of paper in front of her, with an impenetrable surface, but actually fragile and sensitive underneath.
Paige simply took the tissue from Blanca’s hands and wiped away her wet eyes, saying, “In that case, I’ll contact him and decide whether to tell him the truth or not. What about you and him?”
It seemed that they hadn’t even gone through the divorce process all these years.
“There is no relationship between him and me.”
Blanca sat there almost stiffly, allowing her to wipe away the tears, and said, “He left me and came back here after going through all this, which means that he has seen through it and given himself to the place where he has a past with Annie.”
In that case, where is the relationship between them.
The past was just a false relationship that she forced.
“Okay, I understand,” Paige nodded, “then you rest well, I’ll go out first.”
Seeing that she wanted to leave, Blanca eagerly wanted to go, “Can I make you some soup?”
Paige looked at her, ‘Your injury is not yet healed.”
“Oh,’ Blanca nodded.
Seeing this, Paige knew that she might be thinking of something else again, so she said, ‘Wait until you’re healed before you make it. As a mother, you owe me quite a bit.”
Blanca was stunned, then laughed and nodded, ‘I know, I know.”
Paige’s straightforward expression made Blanca feel relieved, and she just felt that there were a lot of things they could do in the future.
As for Alonso…
At this moment, Blanca really didn’t want to think about it.
…
It was getting late, and considering that Paige had suffered a lot that day, Enrico didn’t want to rush back to The Capital overnight, so he booked a room at a hotel.
Paige sat at her desk, opened her laptop, and had a video conference with the people from the Peak Club.
She shook the pen in her hand and said, “I was unable to get the solution to the Ferris wheel plan from Jeremy’s mouth, and we will have to overcome this difficulty on our own.”
“…”
On the screen, the several people located in various places all looked tired.
They have already exhausted their energy, but if the Ferris wheel virus is not solved, there will be endless hidden dangers in the country, and it is too tiring.
There is no way to see the future at all.
“I have decided to join the strength of the Folsom family and the Davis family,”
Paige dropped a bombshell.
Hearing this, the several exhausted people sat up straight. She said, “I’ve thought about it. This is not a battle that can be over in one fell swoop, so the stronger our side is, the more hope we have.”
