“…”
Gabriel looks at the bag in his arms and silently glances at Alonso.
This handsome grandfather, you seem to be a bit rude.
Paige is still a bit overwhelmed by such Alonso and smiles awkwardly, “It’s okay, not tired.”
“Paige is back, huh?”
The people in the kitchen came out, Mitchell smiled and looked at Paige, his eyes fell back to Gabriel’s cute and pretty little face, “Gabriel, I watched that game of yours, I knew it, how could the child of the combination of the the Davis family and the Folsom family be bad, Tai Grandpa invited all the best teachers in the whole world over to you, never let you waste your talent.”
All … invited over?
Gabriel listens dumbfounded, and suddenly hugs his bag and turns his head to run for the border! To the border now! Ahhhhhhhh, he was going to stay at the border!
Headlong into the door, the man was picked up by a big hand.
“Where to?”
Enrico asked as he walked in from outside carrying him.
“I’m going to the border! I’m taking a plane to the border!”
Gabriel shouted out excitedly, his two little arms flailing about as if he were paddling.
“You weren’t the one who was clamoring to come back?”
Enrico’s brows furrowed in displeasure.
“…”
How did he know there were more demons in the house than just Daddy? Rather, there were so, so many!
Let him go!
Let him go right now!
Paige burst out laughing at Gabriel’s mid-air stomping and said, “Well, don’t mention anything to him about studying just yet when he’s just back, let him have some fun first.”
Mitchell then realized what Gabriel’s antics were all about and wondered, “Isn’t studying fun?”
Those kids in the Davis family mentioned that learning could be fun.
“…”
It’s not fun! It’s not fun!
It’s not fun at all!
Gabriel’s depression lasted all the way through the meal.
The dining table was replaced with a round table, and a large table sat down, Gabriel seemed as if there was dark air pressing around him, his whole body was very depressed, holding his chopsticks and picking at his meal there silently.
Blanca reached out her hand and silently pushed a few dishes in front of Paige and Enrico.
It was something she’d heard Olivia say was a preference for the two of them.
“I heard that seventy percent of THE Folsom family has moved over?” Paige asked.
“Yeah, now that the outbreak is under control, the controls aren’t as tight.”
Beinice sat down and said, “Your aunt and cousin had wanted to come here to meet you too, in case you were thinking about … again.”
He paused and didn’t go on.
Rachel?
“I’m fine.”
Paige said, once Rachel was dead, she had nothing to count on.
But for the Beinice family, what Rachel had done and her death was a shadow over their lives, “Are they coming out of it now?”
“They are much better, your aunt is gradually recovering. As for Caroline, it’s payback for our couple’s failure to raise her to be that way, and her being hell bent on getting our couple and even the whole family killed.”
Beinice set aside her chopsticks and spoke somewhat heavily. “If we still have sins, we’ll pay her back in our next life.”
With these words, the atmosphere of the entire table became heavy.
Seeing this, Beinice laughed and said, “Don’t be like this, our couple has long thought about it, this life is this life, we still have an incompetent son, and THE Folsom family, we still have to live well.”
It can … not just go down.
In this moment, Paige had a lot more respect for Beinice.
She knew that no matter what the truth was, sometimes when she met biased parents, they just hated her, hated her for getting entangled with Rachel like this.
But Beinice had never been like that; after she’d returned to A, afraid that something would happen to her, he’d left his family behind and come with his sisters to look for her; when she’d been kidnapped by Jeremy, he’d always done his best to save her without a single hint of biased resentment toward her.
Paige stood up from her position and raised the juice in front of her to toast to Beinice, “Uncle, let me toast to you.”
At those words, Beinice’s chubby face stiffened, looking at her in disbelief, her entire being somewhat dumbfounded.
Blanca was also stunned at the sight, looking at Paige in dismay, Brangelina sat there first stunned, then smiled.
Paige, ah, has never been a person who loves to hate.
When she hates, she’s determined to do it, and when she lets go, she does it quickly.
Alonso looked to Paige, then to Beinice, whose body had regained its bloatedness, and couldn’t hide the envy in her eyes.
Mitchell smiles at the scene, it’s good to have family fun.
When you’re older, you like to see family scenes.
Enrico raises his eyes for a moment, no expression on his face.
After a while, Beinice reacted and stood up like he was flattered, his fat fingers gripped the juice cup in front of him and answered, “Eh, uncle will have a drink with you.”
The words fell, his eyes are red.
The juice glasses clinked together, and the former things were abandoned.
Paige tilted her head back and drained the glass of juice in one gulp, the sweetness sliding down her throat.
“Aunt Brangelina, I’ll drink to you, too.”
Paige poured herself another glass of juice and toasted Brangelina.
Brangelina smiled and stood up from her position to drink with her.
Blanca sat and watched, a faint smile floating at the corners of her mouth as she looked at Paige with doting eyes, next, she would always be by her side, always there when she needed her.
“Grandpa, I toast to you.”
Paige toasted to Mitchell again, “This time, dealing with that gang of plutocrats, including cleaning up this mess, if you hadn’t come out to preside over the situation, everything wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.”
“What’s wrong with that, as long as Grandpa lives, he can preside over the big picture for you guys for a day.”
Mitchell said in a huff, he looked at Enrico again with a comforting thought, “As long as you three are well as a family.”
Alonso sat and looked over, on Beinice’s side was Brangelina, on Brangelina’s side was Mitchell, and next to Mitchell was him …
It was also his turn in that order.
He raised his dark eyes and reached for the juice glass in front of him.
Sure enough, Paige looked toward him and Alonso was about to stand up when Paige looked away again, “Finally, let me toast everyone else.”
“?”
Alonso looked toward Paige and silently sat back down again.
The crowd raised their glasses, but Enrico didn’t move, and Paige kicked him under the table before Enrico followed suit and stood up, lifting his glass and clinking it with everyone else.
He found it very distracting to have this kind of activity in the house every day.
After the clinking, everyone drank happily.
Paige remained standing and didn’t sit down before announcing, “Enrico and I are ready to officially leave The Capital and go somewhere else for some stability.”
At the words, the harmony at the table froze.
Everyone looked at them in dismay.
“Now that the death rate of the Ferris wheel virus has dropped, which proves that the treatment is working, it will get better in the future; Wind Island is also under construction, and it will become a new city in Country A; The Capital has President Rafael, and with all of you here, I believe that everything will be fine.” Paige said solemnly.
