Parents are so easy to find?
Nick was full of questions, while Blanca and Alonso both looked shocked when they heard the news. Their lips curled upwards, but they couldn’t hold it back, probably because they felt that they were no longer young and had to act more composedly.
So they both controlled themselves… and became unable to smile, which Nick found strange.
“Hello.”
Last time at the Folsom family, Blanca did not get to know these young people around Paige well, so now she solemnly nodded to him.
“Hello,” Nick nodded to them indifferently, then looked at Paige, ‘Paige, where are we going next?”
Originally, they were going to the Gustin Group, but now…
Paige looked at the blood splattered on her and the not-so-good expressions on Blanca and Alonso’s faces, and said, ‘Let’s go back to Rose Estate first.”
Going to the consortium now would only upset Enrico.
The group got into a new car and returned to Rose Estate.
“How did those plutocrats know where you were going? Should I find out?”
Nick asked as he opened the car door for Paige.
“They didn’t know where I was going, but they guessed we would be keeping an eye on Jason, so they decided to send a warning first, to let us know they’re going to war,” Paige said indifferently.
Alonso and Blanca followed closely behind. Upon hearing this, Alonso’s face darkened. “Then this small house is too insecure. We need to go somewhere safer.”
“The lower the profile, the less likely people will suspect,” Paige didn’t feel that this place was unsafe.
The people inside probably heard their voices and came out. It was Beatrice and Brangelina, one holding an oversized rainbow lollipop in her hand and the other holding a copy of the Three Character Classic in her hand, which looked a bit incongruous.
“Paige, you guys go back…” Brangelina’s smile froze as soon as it rose, ‘what happened to you?”
Why are you covered in blood?
“We ran into a group of people and got into a fight.”
Paige has always been gentle with Brangelina, ‘Why didn’t you say anything when you came?”
“My sister and I have thought about it. The situation in Country A is tense. Blanca will stay here to help you. We’ll go back to Eastdown to prepare, so that we can transfer what needs to be transferred as soon as possible,”
Beinice said, and then picked up the candy in her hand and said, “I wanted to come and see the little guy before I left, I haven’t seen him yet.”
I see.
Paige didn’t expect them to come and see Gabriel in particular. This kind of ordinary family visit touched her suddenly.
After all, she hadn’t had any contact before.
She didn’t know what to say, so she just smiled.
“Is it Mommy coming back?”
A young child’s voice sounded from inside.
A small figure pounced out from inside, and Brangelina’s gaze deepened. She turned around and picked up Gabriel, covering his eyes with her hands, then looked at Paige and the others and said, “You three go wash up. Don’t let the child see.”
It could easily leave a psychological scar.
Paige wanted to say no, that her son had seen the world, but this was Brangelina’s well-intentioned advice, so she didn’t say anything.
“Eh? Eh? What do you mean don’t let the kids see? Is mommy back?” Gabriel asked with two little short legs, ‘Pretty auntie, don’t cover my eyes, I can’t see anymore!”
Meet the little guy…
Auntie.
Alonso stood there, instantly sorting out the relationships between the characters. His eyes suddenly grew cold, unable to find the slightest bit of warmth, ‘You’re only 25 years old, what are you having a baby for?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him.
The three siblings in the Folsom family had the same look in their eyes: What’s it to you?
“…”
Paige felt a sense of shock, and silently turned her head to look at Alonso, who had a displeased expression on his face.
Was he scolding her?
Seeing Paige’s clear, distinct eyes looking over, Alonso’s expression on his face froze, and he halfheartedly forced out three words, “Good birth.”
“…”
The atmosphere in the courtyard was so awkward that not even the wind dared to pass through.
…
Paige went back to her room and took a shower, changing the clothes she had blood on and putting on a fresh set of clothes.
When she went downstairs, Blanca and Alonso, who had changed clothes, were already in the hall, looking at Gabriel, who was standing in the center.
The three of them looked at each other.
Gabriel licked a lollipop bigger than his face, his eyes rolling around, sizing up the two of them.
Blanca smiled at him, just as she would if she were facing her, not daring to get too close.
Alonso’s face was more intriguing.
He stood stooped, staring at Gabriel. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or not, but there was no smile on his face, and his eyes were heavy, like dark clouds.
This was getting to be a bit of a family reunion.
“Who are you?”
Gabriel saw that they weren’t speaking, so he took the initiative to speak. His voice was soft and sweet, and it was enough to make someone melt on the spot.
Blanca’s smile deepened, and she opened her mouth but still couldn’t find the courage to announce her name.
“How come you’re so big? So your mom didn’t give birth to you in her twenties?”
Alonso bent over, hands on his knees, frowning.
Having a baby in your twenties is very harmful to your health.
“It seems like Blanca also gave birth to Paige in her twenties,” Brangelina couldn’t bear to listen anymore and couldn’t help but sneer.
“…”
Alonso’s face stiffened.
Blanca had already calmed down a lot. Ever since Alonso had learned that Paige was his daughter, he had been acting differently, completely changed, and it was almost impossible to recognize him.
“Where are the gifts you bought?”
Blanca looked at Alonso as he changed the subject.
She didn’t want to add to Paige’s psychological burden by buying her gifts, but she had forgotten one thing: Paige already had her own baby, and she should prepare a gift for the child.
Fortunately, Alonso had bought so many gifts that Paige wouldn’t need them, and they would be perfect for the baby.
“…”
Alonso understood what Blanca meant, and thought about it for a while before going out to get the gifts, even though he hadn’t planned on giving any of them to… his grandson.
Paige came downstairs, and Gabriel’s eyes lit up when he saw her. “Mommy, they brought me gifts!”
As soon as she said that, Alonso came in carrying a pile of toys, which he dumped on the coffee table.
Suddenly, the whole living room turned pink.
It was full of pink toys and dolls, so pink that it was irritating to the eyes.
“…”
The living room fell silent again.
Gabriel stood there looking, blinking twice, not even licking the sugar. He looked at the mountain of pink toys, then at himself, then at Paige with a puzzled look, “Mommy, I’m not a little girl.”
Little girls like this stuff, he’s a little boy, he doesn’t like dolls.
“…”
The living room was very quiet.
Paige was at a loss for words. Then, the sound of a car stopping outside broke the tension.
She looked up and saw a tall figure rushing almost frantically into the courtyard.
It was Enrico.
Before she could laugh, her feet left the ground and she was picked up in Enrico’s arms. In the next moment, the scene in front of her eyes started spinning, and she was already on the stairs going upstairs.
Enrico carried her upstairs like this.
A group of people were in the living room, none of them reacting to what was going on, when the two of them disappeared from their view.
“…”
The living room became even quieter.
