The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1340

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

"You still worried about Rosalynn?" Baillie placed 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 glanced at the pastries. Normally, she would have devoured the whole plate, but she didn't feel like eating at all now.

"I want an orange." Paige mumbled.

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

After a few bites, Paige’s 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, "I'll 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.

Baillie fed her another slice of orange.

Soon, it was dinner time.

For some reason, since they had two more children in the house compared to previous years, it should have been more lively.

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."
