Caroline scoffed, thinking, So, all those talks about Evan worrying about the kids and me are just lies?

What is this, playing games with me like a fool?‘

She turned her gaze toward Alex. “If you don’t plan to be serious with Paige, Mr. Price, please let her

go!”

Alex firmly rejected her plea. “I won’t. My feelings for Paige are deeper than you think!”

Caroline mocked, “Aren’t you concerned about your parents‘ feelings anymore?”

Alex explained, “I just want to spare Paige from any trouble my parents might cause.” ”

Caroline probed, “Are you afraid they won’t accept her, or do you lack confidence in Paige?

“You might not know her well enough. She doesn’t back down in tough situations and despises

bullies and lies. You can’t shield her for her own good.”

Evan interjected, “You did something similar, didn’t you? You kept me searching for you for five

years.”

Caroline grew furious. “Evan, those are entirely different matters Please distinguish between

them!”

Evan stared icily at her. “If you can’t manage your personal life, why make things difficult for

Alex?”

Caroline remained resolute. “My personal life has nothing to do with Paige, and I don’t need your

judgment! Besides, I wouldn’t be here arguing with you if he hadn’t upset Paige so much today!”

Evan sneered. “Is she too scared to confront us on her own?”

Caroline retorted, “Do you think she wants to meet a man who deceived her?”

Alex intervened, “Alright, both of you, stop arguing about me!*

He tried to put an end to their dispute. ‘Why are they fighting over me? They seem to quartel every

time they meet. Are they enemies or what?

‘Wait a minute… What if it’s just the two of them quarteling in the room? Maybe their argument

could ignite something between them?‘

With this thought, Alex took a sip of water, stood up, and declared, “I’m going to meet Paige and

explain things to her.”

He left the room, pulling along Reuben.

Once the door was shut, Reuben asked with confusion, “Mr. Price, why did you drag me out?”

Alex asked, “Do you think they had a rough night yesterday?”

Reuben blushed, “Uh..”

Alex patted Reuben’s shoulder. “They’re obviously holding back anger. It’s better to give them

some privacy to vent, right?”

Reuben grasped the situation. “You mean they might keep arguing until ”

Alex raised an eyebrow. “I didn’t say that Why is your mind going there?”

Reuben was perplexed. I don’t think I said anything strange, did [?‘

In the private room.

Caroline and Evan sat facing each other, creating an awkward and chilly atmosphere.

Evan casually shifted the conversation. “Have you thought about what happened last night?”

Caroline felt a mix of anger and shame when he brought it up, admitting reluctantly, “I haven’t

given it much thought ”

Evan’s expression darkened. “You still want to stay connected with him?”

Caroline’s body tensed, and she reluctantly relented to prevent a repeat of last night. “I need to deal

with something, and that’s all I can say.”

Evan furrowed his brows, suspecting, “What could she possibly want with Casey? Is she trying to

extract information from him?‘

His tone grew softer. “Even if you do, there’s a safer way to approach him.”

Caroline insisted, “I know the kind of person Casey is, but I have to rely on him to clear my doubts.

Please don’t try to persuade me any further, as I’ve made up my mind. Don’t waste your time on

me.*

previous night.
