Chapter 396


    Joseph went off to meet Gavin at the Wolf Group, who asked someone to bring them good wine. He


    acted as if he really invited him over for drinks.


    As they were drinking, Gavin said a lot to Joseph. They talked for about two hours, but he did not even


    once mention anything about Paige.


    Joseph was confused. Did he guess wrongly?


    So the reason he asked him over was not because of Paige?


    The only reason he came was because he thought Gavin was going to talk to him about Paige. But


    since he was going on about irrelevant things, he did not have the patience to continue their


    conversation. He took a look at his watch and said, "It''s gettingte, Mr. Saunders. I shouldn''t disturb


    your rest any longer."


    Gavin''s initial n was to lure Joseph away from Paige. Guessing that Hayden was done with


    speaking to Paige, he agreed to let Joseph leave. "Alright, Joseph. Have a safe ride home. I''ll have


    another drink with you tomorrow!"


    On the way home from Wolf Group, Joseph felt that it was weird for Gavin to invite him for a drink


    without a specific reason. What was his real intention?


    Once he returned, he saw a cup of tea on the coffee table. Did someonee by?


    Joseph called out in confusion, "Paige! Paige!"


    He didn''t hear any replies, so he rushed upstairs and pushed open their bedroom door. He didn''t see


    Paige, but her phone was on the bedside table. He guessed that she was in the bathroom and grinned


    mischievously as he opened the bathroom door.


    As expected, Paige was in the bathtub. It was filled to the brim with water and she was immersed in it.


    The water was still pouring out of the tap, and the bathroom was fogged with steam. Paige''s face was


    red and puffy from it. She turned in surprise when she heard the door open.


    "You''re back?"


    "Yes! Did someonee over? Why is there a cup of tea on the table?"


    "No one came. I had too much wine, so I wanted to sober up," Paige lied.


    "Is that so? Does your head still hurt?"


    Joseph believed what she said.


    "No, I feel much better now."


    "Let me give you a nice massage!" Joseph said as he took off his clothes.


    "No, I don''t want you to..." Paige''s soft voice sounded like an invitation to Joseph, so he couldn''t stand


    it and pulled off all his clothes eagerly. He kissed her frantically and asked, "Did you miss me?"


    Paige was out of breath after being kissed by Joseph. She pushed him away and sucked in a mouthful


    of air. "Joseph, are you really the president of Wolf Group?"


    "Why did you suddenly ask this?"


    "I just want to confirm this."


    "That''s right. I really am the president. 100% true!" Joseph smiled and leaned in to kiss her.


    Paige closed her eyes and turned away.


    "Why do you love me? What part of me do you like?"


    "I like everything about you!" Joseph felt that there was something strange with her.


    "Paige, did something happen? Are you alright?"


    "I just find it strange. Since you''re the president of the Wolf Group, you can have any woman you


    desire. Why did you choose me?"


    "Are you crazy? What reason do I need to love someone? Even though you''re silly and dumb, you are


    the prettiest woman in the world!" Joseph smiled and answered.


    Paige looked into his eyes and he did not try to dodge her. His gaze was full of tenderness, and she


    knew that he would never lie to her. He had no reason to lie, so she decided not to trust what Lamont


    said about Joseph getting revenge.


    There were thousands of ways to get revenge if he wanted to.


    So he probably still didn''t know anything about his mother. If he did, would he still smile so tenderly at


    her?


    Paige didn''t dare think about it. She was addicted to his gentleness and love, and she didn''t want to let


    go of him.


    She would never let go of him for the rest of her life!


    Paige didn''t believe that her mother would be so cruel to a pregnantdy too. Even if it was really an


    ident, she didn''t believe it.


    There must be a misunderstanding about this incident.


    Paige persuaded herself to trust that Natalie was innocent. The only way she could stay with Joseph


    was to convince herself that Natalie was guiltless.


    Joseph didn''t know what Paige was thinking. With her in his arms, he could not think straight nor


    control himself any longer.


    He kissed Paige and murmured unclearly, "Paige, let''s have kids. I want to have lots of children with


    you!"


    Paige did not refuse, and she hugged him tightly.....


    This time was different from the past, and she was exceptionally clear-headed the entire time.


    After their tryst ended, Joseph carried her back to the room and they hugged each other. Sheid on


    Joseph''s arm as if it were her pillow, and there was no space between them as theyy on the bed.


    Paige didn''t feel sleepy at all. She just closed her eyes andid peacefully in his arms.


    Joseph''s breathing gradually calmed down.


    She lifted her head and looked at his charming face quietly.


    "What should I do, Joseph? No matter what the reason is, I don''t want to let you go! Even if you are


    going to hate me, I will definitely marry you! I don''t care if you have any motives. As long as you don''t


    let me go, I won''t either!"

    In the bar, Abbie was drinking in the booth unhappily. She was in a foul mood, so she drank like a


    sailor. The two young men were sitting in the other booth kept turning to look at her as they saw this.


    Abbie''s facial features were delicate, and she had a curvy figure. Elegance radiated from her, and the


    two men got interested in her.


    Seeing that Abbie had been sitting there for hours alone, they came up with a wicked idea.


    "If I can enjoy a night with such a beautifuldy, it would definitely feel like heaven!"


    "Yeah, why don''t we try?"


    "We''ll see. It''s going to be midnight soon. By then, she''ll be so drunk that she won''t know what''s


    happening. If no onees for her, well take her away."


    They waited in anticipation after their discussion. When it was finally 12 o''clock, no one came to pick


    her up. They saw that she had drunk too much that sheid her head on the table without moving.


    The two men nced at each other and they walked to Abbie.


    One of them reached out his hand and nudged Abbie, "Miss, wake up!"


    Abbie raised her intoxicated eyes and looked at the man who nudged her. With a slurred voice, she


    said, "Who are you?"


    "You are drunk. We''ll give you a ride home. Where do you live?" The man asked hypocritically.


    "My home? Where is my house? I forgot!" Abbie frowned. Her brain was empty and she could not


    remember.


    "Try to think about it carefully. The bar is going to close soon. We can send you home."


    "I don''t want you to drive me. Both of you. don''t look like you''re good people..." Abbie pushed the man


    away and said, "You''re just like Michael Davis, a b*stard!"


    As she spoke, she stood up unsteadily. "I know what you guys are thinking! You are just trying to flirt


    with me! Do you have money or status? You want to hit on me? Stop dreaming!"


    The two men became dejected as she scolded them. Abbie did not care about how they felt and stood


    up unsteadily to leave. But after staggering a few steps, her head was spinning so much that she


    couldn''t walk anymore. "Today... I''ll give both of you a chance! Come! Come help me outside!"


    The two men were overjoyed. They immediately walked over to help her, one on each side.


    In a corner of the bar, a man dressed in ck saw this and immediately picked up his phone. "Sir, Miss


    Cook was just helped out of the bar by two men."
