Chapter 765


    Paige was in a mad rush, tearing towards the airport in her car.


    She was supposed to have been home an hour ago.


    However, unexpectedly,on the way home, a series of car crashes urred in front of them, and they


    were blocked for more than an hour


    Just as she hit the airport expressway, Baillie called.


    ‘Mrs. Scott.”


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    *Baillie, I’m on my way to the airport now. can you wait for me?” Paige said tearfully. “The traffic is just


    terrible.”


    “You’re headed to the airport?” Baillie sounded sunrised. “Weren’t you at Ivy’s ce?”


    “Yeah, I got the car keys! Paige responded, “Just wait for me, okay?”


    “But I’m already home.” Baillie sounded pretty frustrated.


    Paige: “???”


    “Didn’t your flightnd at eight?”


    “They bumped it up. Baillie gave a smiled helplessly, Come back quick”


    Paige: …


    She immediately rerouted, picked the shortest path, and started driving back.


    “Don’t worry. And I’ll wait for you at theplex entrance” On the phone, Baillie could sense Paige was


    a little angry andforted, “I knew you


    had a tough day at the construction site, so I wanted to surprise you bying home early so you


    wouldn’t have to go to the airport. Sorry for the hassle.”


    Paigeined, “But I’m already on my way.”


    “My bad!” Baillie quickly apologized. “How about I take you to Old Town for your favorite BBQ tonight?”


    “Deal!” Paige instantly brightened up.


    After hanging up, Baillie looked at the cat.


    “Have you put on a little weight?” Baillie bent down, held up the cat’s belly, and estimated its weight,


    “Ivy must have taken good care of you.”


    The cat tilted its head and meowed unhappily.


    “Not happy?” Baillie snorted at the cat, “Fine, then I won’t y with you. I’m going to pick up my wife!”


    He put down the cat, changed his shoes, and walked out the door in high spirits, heading toward the


    community entrance.


    Baillie used to have a rather loose sense of time.


    But after this trip back to school, for the first time, Baillie felt like each day dragged on forever, and he


    fully understood what “home is where the heart is” meant.


    The flowers in themunity public area were beautiful in the early summer evening.


    Before, Baillie never cared much for the scent of flowers.


    But tonight, he found it rather pleasant.


    After about a ten–minute walk, Baillie arrived at the entrance.


    He estimated the time and figured Paige would be driving back soon,


    Just then…


    “Baillie?”


    Baillie looked up.


    Dressed professionally and wearing delicate makeup, Lennon Crawley was all smiles, “Weren’t you


    back at school? I saw a group photo with you on Instagram from some ssmates.“”


    “I finished what I had to do and returned, Baillie replied, showing no interest in continuing the


    conversation.


    But Lennon had been waiting for this chance to catch Baillie alone for a long time. How could she just


    let it slip away? “What a coincidence. I was thinking of looking you up.”


    “Is something up?” Baillie asked.


    The research direction of thepany (m about to join is the same as yours, so I wanted to ask you for


    some advice Lennon said, putting on a casual front.


    “Sorry, but as you know, I just got married, and there’s a lot on my te. I won’t have the time‘ Balllle


    timed her down without hesitation. This took Lennon by surprise.


    While everyone knew Baillie was a bit of a cold fish he was usually willing to help or refer someone else


    to help with academic issues
