The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 541

Paige could see the expression on his face change.

She followed his gaze.

Not far from them, Kelsey and her parents, as well as Grant and Peyton, were there, looking like a happy and harmonious family.

"Paige." Kelsey initiated the conversation.

"Let's go." Paige acted as if she didn't hear her and tightly held Baillie's hand.

"Why did you even greet such an impolite person?" Kelsey's mom suddenly spoke up sarcastically. "She's at odds with our family now. Why couldn’t you tell?"

Kelsey lowered her eyes, looking quite wronged.

Paige still refused to pay any attention to them.

"Paige!" Peyton's voice trembled slightly.

Paige finally stopped. She thought it's quite nice to show hostility directly anyway since it would eventually become numb and they would break ties completely sooner or later.

"Paige, would you please talk to Mom?" Peyton took two steps forward.

She looked haggard, with red and swollen eyes, pitiful.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Paige said flatly.

"Are you still mad at Mom?" Peyton choked up. "You should know that Mom loves you. It’s not like what you said that day."

Paige lowered her eyelids, laughing softly.

What's the difference between that day and today?

Just a moment ago, Kelsey's mother deliberately tried to sow discord, but she still turned a blind eye, didn't she?

"Paige, since we bumped into each other, let's go home later and have a good talk with your mom. She hasn't slept or eaten well these days..."

"Please don't touch her!" Baillie was so shocked, how could a mother act like this when her child was facing such insults?

"I am her mother, who are you to meddle in our family affairs?" Peyton asked gravely. He had been there when Paige decided to cut ties with the family and she couldn't help but suspect that this man was stirring things up behind the scenes.

"He's my husband." Paige stretched out her hand, showing her wedding ring. "We're legally married. Are you concerned about my family matters?"

Paige laughed and said, "My relationship with him is my private affair. Don't drag me into your mess - I find it disgusting."

"You got married?" Peyton was extremely surprised. "How did you make this decision? Why didn't you discuss it with your mom? Who is he? What does his family do? Who are they? How could you marry so hastily?"

"Paige, marrying someone out of spite for your mom is too much!" Grant also became serious. "Do you know anything about his background? Was it he who instigated your rebellion against your family? Or is it because he's after your money?"

"You'll know who I am." Baillie said, looking at Paige. "Don't waste your time with them; Mr. Walton is waiting for you at the office."

"Oh, right." Paige tapped her forehead lightly. "Hurry up! Let’s go!"
