CEO's Mysterious Fiancee
Chapter 423 To Have Wilfredâs Gift As His Own A thought passed through Carolineâs mind. âPaige, youâre Perl Ezequiel, arenât you?â she asked.
All eyes were fixed on Paige.
âThe words you wrote to Wilfred⦠I recognize the handwriting. Thatâs Perlâs handwriting Caroline wouldnât be too shocked if Paige was Perl.
At this point, Carolineâs eyes sparkled with surprise and excitement.
âWhat words?â Killian and Rosa had no idea what Caroline was talking about.
âYesterday, Paige gave Wilfred her autograph and wrote him a blessing. Right, Wilfred?â Raising her brows, Caroline nudged Wilfred and asked.
âYes.â Wilfred immediately showed everyone his note.
It wrote, âYouâre meant to be great.â
It was signed with âPenroseâ.
Paigeâs handwriting was beautiful and impressive.
Martin was familiar with Paigeâs handwriting. He was sure that those words were from Paige.
Howeverâ¦
Martin didnât expect that Paige would be Perl.
âAm I right?â Caroline looked expectantly at Paige.
Paige didnât have to hide it from the Stowe family, so she nodded.
Caroline beamed. âSee? Iâm right! Paige is Perl.â
Wilfred didnât expect that Martin would be dating his favorite calligrapher, Perl Ezequiel.
Wilfred was Overwhelmed well as the blessing Paige wrote, the beautiful handwriting tells me that Paigeâs Perl. I was right.â and shock, Caroline couldnât help but think, how talented and wonderful Paige is. as you do. I can somehow feel the power in her handwriting. I canât believe that Paige is Perl,â
Killian said with astonishment and then laughed. He exclaimed in his mind, this must be fate.
âItâs kinda like a piece of art. What good handwriting it is!â Rosa praised, âPaige, you amazed me.â
âWilfred, arenât you gonna take trips in the next couple of days? I think I can keep Paigeâs masterpiece for you while youâre away.â
Killian wanted to have Wilfredâs gift as his own.
Wilfred hurriedly held Paigeâs gift tight and smiled, âThanks, Dad, but no. I can take care of them.*
âAlas, I doubt that. Why donât you let me keep them for you? Iâll put them in my safe.â
âI really appreciate that, Dad, but theyâll be fine in my safe too.â
âBut youâre not gonna take your safe with you during the trip, right? What if the valuable gift Paige gave you is stolen? You should be thankful that Iâm willing to hold on to them for youâ
Wilfred didnât know what to say, so he turned to Rosa for help.
Rosa looked at Killian and smiled, âI know what youâre thinking, but youâre being ****. Paige gave you the gift. Remember?â
âI know, but thatâs medicine. Though itâs good for my health, Iâd rather have Paigeâs work instead.â
Killian stared at Paigeâs work in Wilfredâs hands âYou donât need the medicine? Well, you can give me that.â Wilfred reached out his hand.
âNo way!â Killian covered the medicine with his hands.
Killian wanted more than just medicine.
Paige giggled, âDonât worry, Grandpa. I can write to you anything another time.â
âReally?â Killian sounded excited. Killian thought, Paige is such a nice girl. How nice would it be if Paige were my daughter? Wilfred has a lot to learn from her.
âGive Paige a break.â Martin cut in, âDo you know how much Perlâs work is worth? How much will people pay to beg Skylar to treat them? And those gifts and the jewelry⦠You all are asking too much of Paige.â
Wilfred laughed in his mind, yoo-hoo, a public display of affection is coming up.
Sounds like someoneâs jealous. Martin was sulking because we ignored him. Youâre feeling left out, arenât you, Martin? Well, you deserved it!
**
âPaige, Iâll wait for you to show me your handwriting.â Killian ignored Martin and continued with a smile, âI have a thing for calligraphy. and Iâve been studying calligraphy skills. Iâd pick your brains.â
Smiling, Paige replied, âSure.â
Martin was lost for words.
The Stowe family and Paige had been talking for half an hour. At this point, Neil cleared his throat and reminded them.
âSir, madam, Ms. Paigeâs been here for half an hour. Maybe itâs about time to serve dinner.â
It dawned on the Stowe family that Paige might be starving âYouâre right, Neil. We were so excited that we lost track of timeâ Rosa was embarrassed. Rosa thought, I almost forgot that we invited Paige over for dinner. Paige must be hungry.
What a polite and sweet girl. Though Paige was hungry, she never wanted to interrupt us.
âYou may serve dinner now.â Killian didnât expect them to have a long talk with Paige. Killian shifted the blame and complained, âNeil, you shouldâve reminded us earlier.â
ââ¦â Neil got used to that. He smiled bitterly and answered, âSorry, Mr. Stowe.â
âWhat did you get from Paige?â Killian asked Rosa before the dishes were served. He leaned closer and looked at the gift that Paige gave Rosa Rosa hid it away and replied, âNot now. Dinner first.â
âBut I wanna know now.â Killian was curious to know if there were any calligraphy works, paintings, and so on.
Rosa ignored Killian and asked Neil to keep the box for her.
Killian glared at Neil and roared in his mind, Neil, youâd better show me whatâs inside the box.
Neil became flustered and uttered, âIâm sorry, Mr. Stowe. Why donât you take a look at it after dinner?â
Killian was disappointed, thinking, youâre a ***, Neil After a while, Killian asked, âWilfred, you said that Paige drew me a painting. Where is it?â Wilfred sighed, âI let Neil give it to you last night.â
Last night, Killian was angry that Wilfred and Caroline traveled a lot but rarely spent days at home.
Therefore, he didnât pay much attention to the gift. At this moment, Killian grew more interested. âHow does the painting look?â he asked.
Killian couldnât wait to know what Paigeâs painting was like.
âOh, wait. I took a picture.â Wilfred suddenly remembered that he had taken a picture of the painting.
Wilfred took out his phone and showed Killian the picture.
At one glance, Killian was stunned by Paigeâs painting skills.
