    Chapter 697 Don’t Take the Call Yet


    Paige nced at Scott and Caroline, pondering how well they suited each other. She couldn’t help but


    think it was a shame that Scott couldn’t measure up to Evan.


    Caroline excused herself to the restroom, and Paige seized the opportunity to ask, “Scott, how much


    do you like Carol, huh?”


    Scott smiled faintly and asked, “Why are you asking me this?”


    Paige pressed further, “You must have experienced something that makes you so good at concealing


    your emotions, right?”


    Scott’s smile wavered for a moment. “I don’t understand what you mean.”


    Paige adopted a serious tone, her eyes locked onto Scott’s. “I can’t gauge your love for Carol because


    I


    don’t see it in your eyes.”


    Scott replied calmly, “Why should I disy what’s in my heart?”


    Paige remained silent but kept peering into Scott’s eyes.


    After a moment, Paige suddenly chuckled and said, “I was just messing with you. You fell for it!”


    Scott’s smile faded, and his warm expression turned cold instantly. “Do you find this amusing?”


    Paige’s body tensed, and she stared at Scott as if in disbelief. ‘Why has his expression suddenly


    be


    so menacing?”


    “Scott… You… Paige staminered in fear.


    Scott chuckled. “I see I’ve given you a fright.”


    Paige was dumbfounded. “Huh?”


    Scott touched his face and quipped, “Do I have the potential to be an actor?”


    A shiver ran down Paige’s spine, and she chuckled awkwardly. “You… really do…”


    Caroline returned shortly after and noticed Paige’s unease. She asked with concern, “What’s going on,


    Paige?”


    “Huh? Nothing.” Paige responded abruptly.


    “I might have startled her,” Scott exined.

    Caroline looked at him, puzzled.


    Scott recounted the earlier exchange to Caroline.


    She remarked, “You’re such a scaredy cat, Paige.”


    Paige smiled wryly but remained silent.


    Scott rose from his seat and said, “It’s gettingte, Carol. Can you help me distribute the gifts to the


    children? I need to leave.”Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Caroline obliged, taking the gifts and thanking him.


    “Don’t be a stranger. Goodbye, Paige. Scott bid farewell.


    Paige nodded. “Sure, stay safe!”


    Once Scott left, Paige sat beside Caroline. She was about to recount Scott’s unsettling behavior when


    Caroline’s phone rang


    Noticing the call was from Evan, Paige hastily intervened, “Wait, dont answer that call yet!”


    Caroline asked. “What’s going on?”


    Paige stated solemnly, “Carol, I believe Scott’s earlier expression was genuine.”


    Caroline reached out to feel Paige’s forehead. “You don’t have a fever. Why are you saying these


    things?”


    Paige panicked. “No! I’m not delirious! I’ll show you!”


    She patted her cheeks and attempted to mimic Scott’s expression from earlier.


    “Is this frightening?” Paige asked.


    Caroline shook her head. “I don’t think so. I find it rather ridiculous, actually.”


    “Yes! You find my expression ridiculous because we’re close, right?* Paige continued. “However, Scott


    was different. I can’t quite exin it, but he seemed genuinely strange!”
