Paige was silent, "I still don't get it, why are you so nice to me?"
"Do I really need a reason?" Baillie asked.
This question touched her heart a little.
All her friends around her, who didn't want something from her?
Even Logan, she helped him at his request, connecting him with several businesses under the Jared Group.
Could someone really be nice to another person without expecting anything in return?
"You're not a bad guy, right?" Paige asked in a deep voice.
Baillie looked at her, but didn't smile this time.
Instead of happiness, Paige's first reaction to someone treating her well was doubt.
She just couldn't believe that someone could be so kind to her.
Baillie felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"Well, it's not entirely without reason." Baillie said casually, "My family has been pushing me to go on blind dates with people I don't like. Getting married earlier could save me from a lot of trouble."
Pausing for a moment, Baillie added, "It's the same for you. Getting married can help you avoid many troubles."
Paige lowered her eyelids. Yes, she was not getting any younger.
Living alone wasn't so bad.
But then...
She remembered how unhesitatingly Baillie stood in front of her, firmly protecting her.
Fine, she admitted that she was a coward and weak.
She hoped there could be someone by her side to support her unconditionally.
Paige looked at him, her eyes brimming with tears. "Mr. Scott, I'll be good to you, but I might not be able to fall in love with you."
Logan had shattered her heart, and she didn't even know if she had the ability to fall in love with anyone anymore.
"Is that so?" Baillie looked down.
Paige's eyes couldn't hide her sadness. See? Who could accept a wife who couldn't love them back?
