Evening.
Paige had a face mask slathered all over her face and neck. Baillie was next to her, cracking up.
"Don't worry, you still look gorgeous. This doesn't put a dent in your beauty," Baillie comforted.
Paige glared at him, tears streaming down her face.
Baillie burst into laughter.
"No more playing with Ivy! I can’t believe I’m gonna see your parents like this."
"Chill out, my parents are cool."
Paige looked at him, "To be honest, when we got married, I didn't really think it through. Our backgrounds are worlds apart. I'm scared your mom might hand me a check and ask me to leave you."
Little did Paige know that her offhand remark would actually come true.
On Saturday,Baillie and Paige were up and out early. They arrived at the Scott family's before eleven.
Paige had imagined Baillie's family to be filthy rich, but she had no idea their house would be this massive.
Baillie held Paige's hand as they walked in, giving her a tour. Paige saw a parking lot filled with luxury cars that rivaled a car show.
"Are we having a lot of guests today?" Paige asked.
With all these cars parked here...
"No, just family. Mum didn't want you to feel overwhelmed," Baillie replied.
Paige was puzzled, "Then all these cars?"
"Video?" Paige was confused. Had Baillie shown her a video?
Kate was referring to a video that the butler had secretly recorded and shown her.
She waved it off, "Doesn’t matter! Has Baillie been good to you at home? Has he cooked for you? Has he upset you? You mustn't spoil him. Men become rotten when they're pampered!"
Paige glanced back at Baillie. This woman was nothing like she had imagined.
Baillie walked behind them, calm and collected.
Kate noticed Paige looking back at Baillie, so she turned Paige's head back, "This is his home, he's not going to get lost!"
After a while, they finally reached the living room.
A composed middle-aged man stood up. That man was Baillie's father, Blake.
