Chapter 403


    “Granny, I’lle visit you some other time,” Baillie said softly.


    “Great,” Granny Owens looked at Baillie, very satisfied.


    He was good-looking, polite, and seemingly well-off. If he was of good nature, he’d be an excellent


    husband material.


    Paige quickly led Baillie out of the ward.


    “Thank you for walking me out,” Baillie stopped walking.


    “Alright, Mr. Scott, thank you so much for your help today,” Paige maintained her professional smile.


    Baillie looked at her, his eyes inscrutable. “You’re wee. Have you thought about what you’ll treat


    me to?”


    Paige was momentarily stunned, recalling that she had agreed to treat Baillie to a meal earlier.


    “What would Mr. Scott like to eat?” Paige asked with a grin.


    She was actually quite nervous. There was definitely something off about this guy!


    “Alright,” Baillie nodded.


    Paige thought he would leave, but suddenly, he lifted his hand and tucked a loose strand of her hair


    behind her ear. His fingers were warm, gently brushing her cheek.


    “Paige, next time someone does something you don’t like, you can fight back with confidence. There’s


    always someone to help you.”


    Paige was taken aback.


    Baillie smiled, raised his hand, and gently tapped her forehead with his knuckle. “I’m leaving now.”


    “Take care, Mr. Scott…”


    As expected, Baillie didn’t linger and walked away quickly.


    Paige stood still, touching her forehead, suddenly realizing what just happened..


    What was he up to, exactly? Could it be…he was interested in her??


    Paige pondered for a moment, but it didn’t seem like a bad thing. She could use him to get that piece of


    land at a low price. She couldn’t miss such a good opportunity. But once thend deal had been done,


    she would end the rtionship immediately.


    Baillie had just said he was 23 years old, which meant he was six years younger than her. In fact, she


    wasn’t fond of rtionships with younger guys. It felt like raising a son. With that in mind, Paige


    prepared to leave, but turned to see Logan and Kelsey standing nearby.


    She coldly looked away, not intending to acknowledge them.


    “Was that guy just now Paige’s boyfriend?” Kelsey asked Logan.


    She then was startled at Logan’s sudden sullen expression. “Logan?” she tugged at his sleeve.


    He turned to look at her: “Yeah?”


    “I just asked if that guy was Paige’s boyfriend,” Kelsey repeated.


    Logan, wearing a cold expression: “No.”


    “Well, I thought Paige had started dating.” Kelsey mumbled, “Aunty Peyton has always been worried


    about Paige’s love life. If that gentleman just now was her boyfriend, Aunty Peyton would be thrilled.”


    Logan pursed his lips, not responding. He had just seen that guy help Paige fix her hair, looking quite


    intimate. And Paige didn’t avoid it.


    Logan felt very anxious.

    “Well, Paige still looks very angry. I wonder what she’s nning to do next,” Kelsey looked worried, “My


    mom just called, and I haven’t told her about this whole thing yet.”


    “The surveince footage is gone, so there’s no evidence, no matter what she wants to do. Don’t


    worry,” Logan quickly returned to his usual demeanor.


    Kelsey nodded: “Logan, I’m so d you’re here with me to deal with this. I don’t know what I would


    have done otherwise.”
