Chapter 1340


    At this moment, Baillie walked in bringing along her favorite pastries


    “You still worried about Rosalynn Baillie ced the food on the side table and settled down next to


    Paige


    Paige feeling disheartened leaned into Baillie’s embrace


    Why does life have to mess with people like this? They finally cleared up their misunderstandings,


    everything was about to get better Paige’s voice broke off and she quickly covered her eyes with her


    hand Baillie let out a soft sigh


    “Sweetie stop worrying for now you haven’t eaten much today Do you want to try some your favorite


    pastries?” Baillie cooed gently


    Paige nced at the pastries Normally she would have devoured the whole te, but she didn’t feel


    like eating at all now


    want an orange” Paige mumbled


    Baillie immediately peeled an orange for her and fed it to her


    After a few bites Paiges mood seemed to lighten up a bit


    Baillie, how about I go back the day after tomorrow, and you stay at home with mom and dad for


    Christmas?”


    “They don’t expect me to celebrate with them Baillie said somewhat helplessly. “Ill go with you, and as


    for Rosalynn… I guess there will be a lot of issues to deal with in the Bane Corporation once Christmas


    break is over I might go talk to her in advance to see if there’s anything I can help with.”


    “OK” Paige nodded


    Baillieted her another slice of orange


    Soon, it was dinner time


    For some reason, since they had two more children in the housepared to previous years, it should


    have been more lively.


    But Rosalynn felt an indescribable sense of chilliness. She thought of the ns Wayne had with her for


    a family of four’s first Christmas, and it felt like her heart was being pricked by a needle.


    the suddenly remembered thest thing she told him when they parted.


    She had said she would never forgive him…


    Knowing that was what he feared most, she still said it without any hesitation. “Mommy”


    Cory’s voice sounded next to her


    She quickly regained herposure and smiled, “is Molly looking for you?”


    Cory didn’t answer, he just held Rosalynn’s hand.


    Rosalynn’s eyes stung with tears, “Ableson said, daddy has already sent over the fireworks, after


    dinner we can all go out and watch them. Cory said softly.

    Ableson, who had been negligent and let his boss get kidnapped right under his nose, was too


    ashamed to see Rosalynn now.


    “Okay” Rosalynn squatted down, gently touching Cory’s cheek, unable to hold back the tears in her


    eyes, “That’s daddy’s Christmas gift for us, we need to watch it happily, okay?” Cory nodded and then


    hugged Rosalynn gently


    “Mommy, don’t be scared, Ivy and I are always with you.” He whispered into her ear.


    Rosalynn closed her eyes tightly and held on to Cory.


    Ivy, who was sneaking food in the dining room with Molly, turned around and was shocked to see this


    scene.


    Then she turned to Molly and said, “Molly, I think we should stop pushing Cory to learn fighting skills.


    Just a mention of it and he’s already stressed out, needing mommy’s hug to recover.”
