Ahhhhhhhh.
Too hard too hard.
Paige saw him like this, smiled somewhat helplessly, she squatted down beside him, like looking at a poor puppy, “You ah, you just like to procrastinate, in fact, with your ability, you can do those questions very quickly, can’t you play when you’re done?”
Hearing this, Gabriel glanced at her grudgingly, “Mommy, don’t lie to children, I can do five questions this time, next time I’ll add up to ten, I can’t finish them any way.”
“… I wouldn’t do that.”
“…”
You wouldn’t someone would.
Gabriel gives Enrico a sly look, those wise eyes of his have seen it all long ago, hmmm.
Enrico sat there, a chess piece flipping nimbly between his fingers, seeing him look at him, Enrico stopped moving, his eyes dark, “What, not convinced? One more game?”
“I’m going to do my homework.”
Gabriel nimbly got up from the carpet and headed for his room, clutching a few books.
Whoops.
Life was too hard.
Enrico took a seat on the couch and hooked his hand toward Paige, “Come here.”
Paige stood up and walked towards him and was tugged into his arms as she sat on his lap, both hands naturally wrapping around his neck, “Talk about going back to The Capital?”
Enrico’s hand rested on her waist and he pinched it down at the sound of that, “You want to go back after only two months?”
His hand wasn’t too heavy, Paige didn’t feel much discomfort and didn’t care, only nuzzling his neck, “I thought you’d think the time had come to go back.”
“Me?”
Enrico snorted, as if she were telling some kind of joke.
“I was thinking at first that you’d come to the border to see where I’ve lived, but now that I think about it, you got the news that Monteo was at the border a long time ago, didn’t you?” She said as she stared at the side of his good-looking face.
Enrico’s eyes sunk slightly, and without moving, he probed his hand into the hem of her shirt, rubbing his fingertips back and forth across her delicate waist, “What are you babbling about!”
“Monteo is not a person who is good at pulling the strings, if you tell me directly, I will definitely not be able to resist personally seeking over, instead of watching me go, it would be better to take advantage of the situation to make a mess of running away from home, just to see clearly, in my heart, how big a place you occupy.”
Paige gazed straight into his eyes, and said, word by word, “In case of a big, embarrassing mess, there is still Monteo as a bailiwick in place, which can prove that while you are angry, you are still thinking of the thoughts in my heart, and I won’t have the face to say anything about you.”
So, for a while, he was acting outrageously and without scruple.
Enrico listened, the tip of his tongue against his teeth, lowered his eyes meaningfully at her, “Speculating out of thin air?”
“I have proof.”
Paige said methodically, “Before, how did Monteo know we were vacationing at the resort? I was thinking it was a deliberate leak by Kevin to get back at you for wasting his time, but then I thought, I would think, why wouldn’t you?”
“…”
“If Kevin was the one who leaked the news, how could you sit still?”
Would have come to the door and punched someone a long time ago.
There was only one explanation, Monteo knew of their whereabouts because Enrico had secretly informed them, and he’d been instrumental in her asking Monteo to join.
“Because of that?”
Enrico sneered, his palm resting on the back of her neck as he looked at her disdainfully, “Paige, how much do I, Enrico, love you, love you so cheaply that I’m so mad at you that I have to check Monteo’s whereabouts for you? Solve the troubles in your mind for you?”
This tone …
Paige stared into his deep eyes, thought about it, and went along with it, “Oh, then it’s not love for me, it’s love for your country and love for the people.”
Angry with his wife and still worrying about the country.
Ah.
That’s a real pain in the back.
The flesh of Paige’s waist was pinched hard, and it hurt so much that she burrowed into his arms, “It hurts …”
This woman just has this ability, usually outside the killing red eyes do not even grunt, to his arms and changed the routine, a wailing let him surrender.
His hand loosened and he lowered his head to bite on her ear, his teeth grinding against the cartilage, “Wolf-hearted thing.”
And love of country and people.
If he didn’t know she was going to worry about the next step after this one, would he have to?
“…”
This man, obviously he was the one who wanted to say that, what happened to her going along with it?
Paige simply buried her face into the nape of his neck and held on even harder, muffled, “I know you’re good to me, I know it all.”
“You know what.” Enrico grunted coldly.
“I really do know that there were questions I wanted to ask you before, and then I didn’t want to.” She said.
Hearing this, Enrico looked down, “What questions?”
Paige lifted her head from the nape of his neck and looked deeply into his eyes, “I panicked when you coldly ignored me before, I even wanted to ask you if you wanted to separate from me, if you wanted to divorce me?”
Enrico’s eyes shook as he stared down into her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
He suddenly thought of that time in Wind Island, in order to find a tree for him, she was going to kill someone … It turned out that she would not only be panicked for him, but she would also think wildly about him.
He raised his hand and touched his fingertips to her face, his words deep, “No.”
“…”
“You are to make me angry to death, my tombstone must also have a ‘love wife standing’.” He said.
Paige stared into his deep, dark eyes and her heart was touched hard, “Then don’t worry, I won’t piss you off anymore.”
“Starting to talk big?”
Enrico didn’t believe her.
“Enrico, have you been happy these past two months? Happier than at The Capital?”
She asked him.
“What are you going to say?”
Enrico pinched her ear in a small gesture.
“If happy, how about we live like this for the rest of our lives?” She smiled.
“…”
Enrico’s movements lurched, his eyes staring at her like they were on fire.
“Let’s take a trip back to The Capital, officially pay off what we need to pay off, and then find a place to just live like we are now.” Paige said.
There would be no one to rush her back then, because by then, they were officially handing over everything they had on their hands.
“Are you serious?”
Enrico pursed, she’d mentioned it before, but to him it seemed more like sweet talk she was putting out to steady him, less than thirty percent credible.
She had over three thousand people in Wind Island, Temple in Heaven, and Peak Club, could she let go?
This time, if he hadn’t run away from home, she would have been more inclined to hold on to everything and let nothing go.
“I’m not kidding.” She said.
“No regrets?” Enrico lifted her chin.
“Enrico,” she pronounced his name word for word, “Once upon a time in Wind Island, I never thought of any marriage in my future, it’s because I met you that I saw the shape of marriage.”
“…”
“Yes, I Paige want all sorts of things, but … you are the most important.”
She confessed without any hesitation.
Her confession came so suddenly that Enrico stared into her eyes, his breath sinking involuntarily as he lowered his head to kiss her.
“What about Gabriel?”
A childish voice suddenly came muffled.
Paige turned her head to see Gabriel standing in the doorway clutching a workbook, staring at her with a haunted gaze, his little mouth quirking up again.
