The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1344

Jaime took it politely, responding, "Thanks, mate."

"Why the long face today?" Paige poked Jaime's face, "Cheer up, if you're like this, Rosalynn will feel even worse."

Jaime looked towards the lake, "If she's sad, maybe I won't be. She's been acting too normal these past few days, it's freaking me out..."

"Why the freak out? Rosalynn is one tough cookie!" Paige said confidently.

Over the years, Paige had never seen Rosalynn fall apart.

She hadn't before, and she wouldn't now!

Jaime glanced at Paige, whispering, "Do you know what would've happened if Felix hadn't shown up in the nick of time?"

Paige froze, feeling a sudden panic, "What would've happened?"

"Let's not rehash the past," Baillie cut off their conversation, but Paige wasn't ready to drop it.

"What did you see?" Paige lowered her voice, "Did Rosalynn want to die with Wayne?"

Paige startled herself with that question, quickly looking around, afraid the kids or Hilaria might hear.

Jaime didn't answer, his silence seemed like a confirmation, then he said, "Can you blame me for being anxious? For being scared?"

Life is so fragile, it's too easy to end it all.

Slitting wrists, overdosing, falling from heights, drowning...

These things can happen in a split second.

"I get it now." Paige's heart started to race.

All these days, she hadn't asked Rosalynn what had happened that day.

Paige tried to calm herself down.

She crouched down and pecked Cory on the cheek.

Cory looked bemused, wiping his cheek gently, "Merry Christmas."

"Same to you!" Paige grinned.

But her gaze involuntarily fell on Rosalynn.

She couldn't imagine what it would be like if Rosalynn had indeed ended her life with Wayne.

What would happen to Hilaria? To Cory and Ivy? To her and Jaime?

Thinking about it, Paige felt a sharp pain in her stomach, she couldn't hold it in and turned her head to retch.
