Chapter 970


    Paige was so pissed off she got super thirsty.


    She chucked her phone and went downstairs to get some water.


    She chugged several cups in a row, and when she turned around, she saw Baillie leaning against the


    dining room door, arms folded, watching her. “Did I disturb you?”


    Paige mumbled, putting down her ss.


    “What’s up?” Baillie walked over. “You just drank four cups of water in one go, aren’t you afraid of


    drinking too much?”


    Paige looked down, thought about it, and frowned, “Logan just called me.”


    A cold glint shed in Baillie’s eyes: “Was she asking to get back together?”


    “No.” Paige sighed weakly. “Grant cheated and even hit my mom. I heard her head got cracked open.”


    Before Baillie could say anything, Paige expressed her anger andplete bewilderment, eximing,


    “I don’t understand. She has encountered genuinely kind individuals before, and my father treated her


    so well! When you have experienced something delightful and then encounter something putrid, isn’t it


    instinctual to spit it out? What on earth is she thinking?”


    “Should we go check on her?” Baillie asked.


    “No.” Paige shook her head. “If I go and see her clinging to that piece of trash Grant, I’ll die of anger!”


    Baillie lifted her hand and gently stroked Paige’s back.


    “Then we won’t go.”


    “Grant is such a jerk!” Paige gritted her teeth. “I can’t let this go!”


    “What do you want to do?” Baillie asked patiently.


    He was in a pretty good mood, but he even felt like killing someone just now.


    The reason was simple, Paige voluntarily told him about Logan’s call and Peyton being hit.


    “I want someone to beat him up!” Paige said without hesitation.


    “Alright, then I’ll…”


    Before Baillie could finish, Paige headed out “No need for you to find someone, I’ll do it myself!”


    Baillie was too clean, Grant didn’t even deserve to dirty his hands.


    “Okay.”


    Baillie followed Paige.


    Paige ran upstairs, picked up her phone, found a number and dialed it directly.


    “I need you to help me beat someone up, beat him hard, but don’t kill him.”


    After giving the order, Paige turned around and saw Baillie leaning against the door, arms folded,


    smiling at her.


    Paige went silent suddenly.


    “Come here.”


    Baillie reached out to her.


    Paige moved closer: “Now you know I can be pretty fierce, right?”


    She pretended to be fierce.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Baillie held her hand “Yeah, I know. Can you get even fiercer?”


    “Yes! Paige nodded, then asked Baillie, “Are you scared?”


    Baillie shook his head, then lowered his head and kissed Paige, ‘From now on, don’t worry. Whatever


    you do, it won’t scare me or make me dislike you’


    Paige was slightly taken aback.


    No one had ever said anything like that to her before


    Logan used to say things like, “Can you be a little more well behaved and not cause me trouble?”


    “You say that now, but if I really do those things, you’ll find out more of my bad sides or think i’ll cause


    trouble for you, and you’ll get annoyed” Paige lowered her eyes


    Baillie was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly understood


    So it wasn’t ack of trust that prevented her from confiding in him about her financial needs, but rather


    a fear that he might perceive her as bothersome or irritating?


    Baillie’s heart felt like it was being squeezed hard by someone, a mixture of pain and anger.


    She must have been treated like this by someone before.


    “It won’t happen.” Baillie looked at her gently and seriously. “We are husband and wife. I will never find


    you annoying and will always stand by your


    side.”
