Caroline said, âThe signal might be weak in the mountains. Please inform Axel if he asks about me.â
âAbsolutely!â the children assured her.
Alex met Evan at Villa Rosa at 9:00 p.m. They sat in the lounge, sipping wine.
Alex asked, âIâm sure youâre relieved now that Axelâs surgery went well.â
Evan leaned back with his wine glass and took a sip. âAxel has to stay in a sterile room for a month.â
âDonât worry. Richie will provide topânotch care. By the way, are you attending the opening ceremony in
two days?â
Evan looked at him disapprovingly. âArenât you taking Paige with you?â
âNo, because my parents will be there too.â Alex sighed. âPaige had a major argument with my mother
today.â
Evan looked at Alex with curiosity. âWhose side are you on?â
âUndoubtedly on Paigeâs side!â Alex replied firmly.
â
âWhat an ungrateful son!â Evan teased.
It put Alex in a tough spot. âI know, but I love Paige.â
î
âWhatâs your plan?â Evan asked. âYour mother isnât easy to sway.â
Alex looked at Evan pleadingly, but the latter turned away in disgust. âStop looking at me like that.â
âCanât you help out a friend, just this once?â Alex asked anxiously.
Evan put his glass down. âHow much do you love her?â
After a pause, Alex answered, âI couldnât eat or sleep when we broke up. Does that count?â
Evan looked down. âYour mother may not listen to me.â
âBut my father will!â Alex assorted. âHe always values your opinion.â
Evan reluctantly nodded. âAlright, Iâll give it a shot.â
Although he disliked meddling in family matters, he agreed to help because he understood Alexâs pain

Suddenly, the thought of Caroline overwhelmed him, causing excruciating pain. Her casual reply had
left
him in a daze. Was it really that easy for her to move on?
Caroline woke up early on Saturday with the children. As she was preparing clothes for them, she
received a call from Paige.
Upon answering the phone, she heard Paigeâs excited voice. âHey Carol, are you free today? Letâs go
to a
î
hot spring!â
Caroline looked at the luggage in her hand, surprised. âDid you put a surveillance camera in my
house?â
âHuh?â Paige was puzzled.
Caroline chuckled. âIâm taking the kids to a hot spring in Rusvil.â
âIs it the one opening today?â Paige asked. âYou donât see me as a friend? I was about to invite you to
go
together!â
Caroline explained, âI didnât ask because I thought you were busy with Alex.â
Paige countered, âWell, heâs occupied with his mother.â
âHow about we meet there at 10:00 a.m.?â Caroline suggested.
âIâm already on my way to your place. We can go together later.â
âAlright, Iâll wait for you.â
Caroline and Paige arrived at the Grand Hot Spring Hotel around 9:30 am.
The hotel entrance was bustling with luxurious cars, and elegantly dressed upperâclass individuals
were
stepping out of them and heading inside.
This scene left Caroline and Paige momentarily speechless.

Paige asked, âDid we make a mistake? Isnât this the Grand Hot Spring Hotel?â
Caroline scanned the area. âYes, it is. Why would a newly opened hot spring hotel have such a wealthy

Caroline and Paige were bewildered, wondering about the hotelâs owner.
