The voice sounded like it had been crying recently.
Could it be...
That jackass Wayne, did he do something to Paige or her family again?
She had tried so hard last night!
What else does he want?
Rosalynn resisted the urge to call Wayne and curse him out.
She left, got in her car, and headed straight to Paige's old house.
Opening the door.
Rosalynn saw Paige curled up on the sofa.
The table in front of her was full of snacks and desserts.
"What's with all the...stockpiling?" Rosalynn walked over, trying to keep her tone light.
Paige looked up at her.
Her eyes were swollen from crying, indeed.
"What's wrong?" Rosalynn quickly ran to her side. "Did something happen?"
Paige saw her being so anxious.
Then suddenly, she started crying again, letting out a loud wail.
At this point, Rosalynn was completely at a loss.
"Sweetie, don't cry, did something happen to your stepdad?"
"Or did something else happen to you?"
"Rosalynn, what exactly do you take me for?" Paige cried out, "So much has happened, and all these years I've been living abroad without a care, and you..."
Rosalynn's hand, which was comforting Paige, froze in place.
Paige...knew...
How could she know?
"Joseph came to see me!" Paige cried, "He told me everything, how your grandma fell sick and needed so much money, and that bastard Wayne took advantage of you and forced you... Five years! Oh my god!"
"Paige, it's not like what Joseph said, Wayne's been good to me!"
