The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 603

Old Mrs. Bagley's eyes were filled with defiance as she shook her head vigorously, "I want to find Marlinie. She's not Marlinie."

Hearing this, old Mr. Bagley was all knotty-browed, clueless on how to respond. What brought about this sudden change in old Mrs. Bagley?

Despite earning the trust of old Mr. Bagley, Patricia was now facing rejection from old Mrs. Bagley. She couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt.

She looked up and shot her bestie Haillie a pleading look, mimicking a puzzled expression, hoping her friend could help her dodge this bullet.

Seeing Patricia's SOS, Haillie immediately jumped to her defense, "Old Mrs. Bagley, she is Marlinie! No doubt about it!

She's the girl who just performed on stage, only now in a new outfit and makeup, that's probably why you didn't recognize her.

She just changed because she's about to perform another act. Old Mrs. Bagley, don't freak out. Just chill a bit and take another look, okay?"

The old Mr. Bagley was also trying to pacify old Mrs. Bagley, saying, "Yeah, Take another look, and this is exactly the girl you were just demanding to see. How can you not recognize Marlinie?"

Hearing everyone say this, old Mrs. Bagley, guided by old Mr. Bagley and Haillie, took another look at Patricia. She stared at her intently, starting to waver, "You are Marlinie?"

Old Mr. Bagley gave a wink, signaling Patricia to say something.

Patricia, being the sly fox she was, knew what the old man was up to; he wanted her to play along and pretend to be their daughter Marlinie to soothe old Mrs. Bagley.

And that suited her just fine!
