Paige's Heart

Paige's apartment.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Linda knew the importance of repeating things three times.

David put the diamond ring on Linda's left ring finger, then stood up and hugged the excited Linda, creating a classic scene from an American TV show.

Clap clap clap!

Paige, as the daughter, remained unmoved, leaving Adam to applaud and congratulate her.

"Cough cough."

Adam then had to stop clapping and cough loudly as a reminder.

Because if this continues, they will either suffocate or it will become truly inappropriate for children.

David was the first to recover from the atmosphere and let go of his fiancée.

Linda immediately ran to Paige's side and hugged Paige.

At this moment, she especially likes to hug, and she must have someone in her arms.

Paige patted Linda's back gently with both hands, put her neck on Linda's shoulder, and gave her a faint smile that said, "Whatever makes you happy."

"Congratulations."

Adam thanked David.

"Thanks."

David, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was also beaming with joy.

I'm engaged.

After a long while, Linda released Paige, held up the diamond ring in her hand, and showed it off repeatedly, her emotions running high.

"Is it pretty?"

"Pretty!"

Adam and Paige nodded.

"I'm starting my own business, so it's a bit small, and it's not Tiffany's..."

David felt a little guilty for not being able to give his fiancée the best.

"No, no, no!"

Linda shook her head repeatedly. "This is the biggest and most beautiful diamond ring I've ever seen!"

Then the two started gazing deeply into each other's eyes.

"David, if you had known me beforehand, things would have been completely different."

Adam thought to himself, "I'll make you spend the same amount of money and give away a bigger and more beautiful diamond ring!"

Ren Shuzhou sang: Diamonds are forever, a diamond is forever!

That was just something I sang while eating.

Plastic bags last longer than diamonds.

If David had known Leonard and asked for his opinion before buying the diamond ring, he would definitely have recommended Leonard's approach.

First, go to a hardware store and buy Diamond Drill Bit, the large kind.

Then remove the King Kong from the drill bit, find a ring shop, set the large King Kong into the ring, and then buy a Tiffany diamond ring box.

Finally, Tiffany's expensive large-carat diamond ring made its dazzling debut.

As long as you're like Leonard, and refuse to admit that it was modified from Diamond Drill Bit.

Then the big, designer diamond ring on your fiancée's hand is the one you bought with your entire fortune after suffering a massive arterial hemorrhage.

That's right!

Adam doesn't believe that the diamond ring Leonard gave Penny is a genuine Tiffany piece!

Even though Leonard denied it three times in a row, his attitude was natural and sincere enough.

But Adam was more convinced that the straightforward Sheldon wouldn't lie.

Kawhi Leonard, an engineering student, is absolutely capable of doing something like this.

Firstly, he wasn't misled by those advertisements.

To him, diamonds and Diamond Drill Bit are essentially the same thing.

He'd have to be stupid to spend more than ten times the price to buy it.

Secondly, Leonard was very poor and didn't have the money to buy such a large diamond ring.

Besides, wouldn't it be better to save up money and go to anime festivals to buy figurines?

Adam actually agrees with Leonard's approach.

After all, the myth of diamonds was on the verge of collapse just before Adam's transmigration.

A few minutes later.

Linda and David left.

To paraphrase a classic American TV show rant: They need a room!

Adam then pulled Paige into the bedroom as well.

Midnight.

In Adam previous life, Ya did not smoke or drink alcohol. In this life, as a doctor, he is even more aware of the harm of smoking, so he does not smoke.

Although Paige had tried smoking a few cigarettes to look cool when she was tempted to go astray, after Adam persuaded her to return to the right path, she became interested only in science. She even quit Missy's cigarettes, let alone cigarettes.

Therefore, there was no smell of smoke in the bedroom.

"Something on your mind?"

Adam said with his eyes closed.

How did you know?

Paige asked.

"Hehe."

Adam couldn't help but laugh, "Although I'm just an intern, legendary doctors say I'm now comparable to a newly Attending Physician in Cardiothoracic Surgery."

We Cardiothoracic Surgeon, who handle hearts every day, know best what's on your mind, especially since I'm holding your heart right now.

Paige ignored Adam's flirtatious remarks and didn't try to charm Adam by making a heart shape with her hands.

She simply frowned and asked, "Adam, do you believe in love?"

It's clear that Linda is about to remarry. She appears indifferent on the surface, but she's definitely feeling a bit uneasy inside.

Adam could easily diagnose this with just one hand.

"I don't really believe it."

Adam didn't continue flirting, and pondered, "Love at first sight is just a matter of hormones. I believe more in the kind of feelings that are a mixture of friendship, family, and love, that is, feelings that grow over time."

"I don't believe it either."

Paige said calmly, "I believe my mother was just as excited and happy when she got engaged to my father, but what was the result? So-called love has a cycle. After the initial honeymoon period, the love dies. It's just another meaningless cycle with another person, and so on."

"Don't be so pessimistic."

Adam advised, "Things aren't always like that."

"Oh, so tell me, how long do you think my mother and David's relationship will last?"

Paige sneered.

"..."

Adam remained silent.

Who can say for sure?

It might take a few months, a few years, or even a lifetime.

If it were any other girl, Adam would have given a casual answer.

But Paige is clearly not an ordinary girl.

To her, a casual, nonsensical answer was an insult to her intelligence.

"The most important thing is that your mother is happy right now."

Adam laughed and said, "Isn't that so?"

"Perhaps."

Paige's voice was slightly low. "My mother delayed for six or seven years because of me, otherwise she would have been like my father, remarrying soon after her divorce, less than a year later."

Have you seen your father all these years?

Adam became interested when he saw that Paige rarely wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk late at night.

You see, in the past, she was always the one who fell into a deep sleep first, leaving Adam wide awake and eager to continue the conversation.

There is no more physical or spiritual communication.

The relationship between Paige and Adam has a somewhat reversed nature.

Because usually afterwards, the man falls into a deep sleep without caring about anything, while the woman pulls the man aside to chat.

However, given Adam's 'Just You Show' stamina.

Adam could only accept this outcome—whether it was humiliation or glory—with a wry smile.

"No."

Paige shook her head. "Ever since I went to college, I've been living with my mom. Every Christmas, she invites me over, but I'm too lazy to go."

"You hate him?"

Adam asked.

"I don't hate."

Paige said coldly, "Speaking of which, I was partly to blame for the failure of their marriage. My mother did invest too much energy and time in me."

Adam stroked Paige's long hair tenderly, and sighed inwardly.

Paige initially took all the blame upon herself, almost leading to her downfall.

It was Adam who enlightened her.

Even so, Paige still feels a sense of guilt, though she keeps it buried deep inside.

Apart from Adam, who was able to accurately grasp her heart.

Nobody knows.
