Paige sorted out gifts and couldn't help feeling amazed at her life.
"Babe, isn't my life story super weird?" She blinked, "I knew Logan was going on blind dates behind my back, then we broke up, I watched him get engaged, and saw my mom stand by his fiancée's side. Then, I had a falling out with her. That should have been the darkest time of my life, right?"
Rosalynn nodded.
Actually, on the day Paige had her fallout with her mom, Rosalynn already bought her a plane ticket and planned to send her on a relaxing vacation to heal her body and mind.
"Well, who would have thought, I ended up marrying Baillie who I'd just met a few days before," Paige laughed at herself, "Yet... who could've imagined, Baillie is so good and respectful to me."
She hadn't felt this kind of warmth since her father left.
"I'm more realistic." Rosalynn sat down, crossed her legs, and wore a serious expression, "Baillie's looks, figure, family, ability, in every aspect he's way better than Logan. And for that, I'm really proud."
Although Rosalynn hated Logan, who only focused on superficial matters, she had to admit that Logan was handsome and financially stable, with a family background. He was stronger than many other men. However, when compared to Baillie, he was just average.
"You're right." Paige raised her eyebrows slightly. It still hurt a little to talk about the person she once loved so deeply, but that was it. Paige didn't want to look back at that road filled with her patience and grievances.
Late at night, after a whole day's work, Rosalynn was already in dreamland. Paige wasn't asleep though; she still owed Baillie a wedding ring. Every day, he'd pretend not to care, hinting that his ring was important.
Since it was a men's wedding ring and Baillie often attended formal events, the design couldn't be too fancy. But a regular ring seemed insincere. Paige racked her brains.
After rejecting yet another design draft, Bailey sent her a message. Paige opened it on her phone, which was a link about Oak House renovation progress.
Bailey had previously mentioned he would regularly update her on the progress of the renovation. Paige found that Bailey's hired people were very efficient. In just a few days, they'd completed the transformation of aging equipment. Paige replied, "You're so efficient!" Bailey responded immediately, "It's already 1 a.m., why aren't you asleep yet?" Paige glanced at the crumpled design draft in her hand and stuttered, "I ate too much tonight, feeling uncomfortable and can't sleep." Bailey asked, "Do you want to go for a walk?"
Paige looked puzzled. This twenty-something guy had the energy to go for a walk at 1 a.m.? Before she could reply, Bailey continued, "Taking a walk can help digestion."
Paige stared at his message. In fact, if she wasn't working on the wedding ring design draft, she might suffer from insomnia tonight. She had been so busy like a spinning top lately that she barely thought about Logan and her mom. But when talking to Rosalynn about it suddenly tonight, she thought it'd only hurt a little. She didn't expect that her heart was still hurting. Paige was full of contradictions. When breaking up with Logan, she was both determined and fantasizing about him loving her enough to drop everything and come back to her. After proposing to cut ties with her mom...
