"He makes his own money," Paige answered flatly.
"It's just temporary, right? The house and car are yours, right? That guy looks cunning and he is prone to using violence. He even beat up your two brothers, and my prison thing..."
Peyton's voice suddenly stopped.
She realized that she had mentioned the prison thing on the phone because of Grant.
"What about the prison thing?" Paige looked at her.
Peyton shook her head: "Forget it, I don't want to think about that unlucky stuff for even a moment."
"Hmm."
Paige responded.
The meal was very quiet.
The mother and daughter had little to say.
Peyton felt uneasy.
Naturally, the atmosphere was quite depressing.
"Daughter, those people are still waiting..." In the end, Peyton couldn't sit still and reminded her indirectly.
Paige put down her fork.
She looked at Peyton: "Mom, did you really hear everything I said on the phone?"
Peyton nodded repeatedly: "Of course, I got it."
"What would happen if you lied to me?" Paige asked.
Peyton was stunned for a moment, then said, "Our mother-daughter relationship would be cut off completely. I know that."
"Good, as long as you know." Paige opened her wallet and started looking for something as she spoke, "I've moved dad's grave. I'll take you to see him tomorrow."
"Great!"
Peyton's eyes were fixed on Paige's wallet.
A moment later,
Paige took out a check.
Peyton, as if afraid she would change her mind, grabbed it immediately.
Paige really wished there were cameras in the restaurant to record her actions and expressions.
Peyton quickly confirmed the amount.
