Let's Go Together
Paige's apartment.
Erica tossed her hair and gave Adam her brightest smile.
Who was Adam?
I understood immediately.
Then.
Does your hand still hurt?
Adam took Paige's hand and examined it while asking her with concern.
"..."
Both Paige and her sister looked completely bewildered.
What's going on?
For Paige, no matter what happened in the bedroom, Adam never showed affection in public.
He doesn't seem like that kind of person.
Moreover, she wasn't used to this kind of public display of affection.
"I'm fine."
Paige withdrew her hand and glanced at Adam with a frown.
"Whether something happens or not is up to me."
Adam, channeling his domineering CEO persona, pulled Paige's hand over and began to caress it closely.
"..."
Paige glanced at her sister Erica, whose expression was a little off, and immediately understood. She didn't say anything more and let Adam indulge in his domineering CEO persona.
Erica isn't stupid.
Having been out in the world for so long, and having gone through one boyfriend after another, I'm particularly sensitive to the vibes in this area.
She immediately understood what Adam meant.
Then I felt even more heartbroken.
Shouldn't a normal man be like her flirtatious boyfriend, wanting both of them?
She disapproved of her boyfriend's harassment of her sister, Paige.
But right now I'm even more disgusted by Adam's public displays of affection.
If she remembers correctly.
Adam was a playboy in high school.
Shouldn't someone like that be more interested in her identity?
Stop pretending!
Or is it that Paige, the younger sister, is really that charming?
However, considering her sister Paige's beauty and unparalleled achievements...
Erica felt a deep sense of powerlessness again.
Other women may not have such great charm, but her younger sister is truly no ordinary woman.
It seems quite possible to turn a prodigal son back into a devoted and good man.
"Erica, are you hungry? Let's eat together."
Adam kept an eye on Erica out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that the initial flirtatiousness on her face had faded and she looked somewhat dejected, he knew the time was right. So he released Paige's hand and greeted her gently.
It's not that he's being hypocritical because he's Jia Baoyu's father.
They scoffed at a certain combination.
It's just that he values Paige more.
She just gave birth to your child, and you're already going after your sister-in-law? This isn't something a pure and upright person like Adam would do.
We'll see.
Erica is beautiful, but in Adam's eyes, who has seen countless beauties, she barely deserves a 7 out of 10.
With Paige, the first beautiful young scientist,
Caroline's true Saintly Mother aura
Heather's dominance
MAX's sharp-tongued Big Bear,
Robin's dashing figure,
Nora's colors are those of a mature, queenly woman.
Kate's beautiful detective,
Jennifer's Transformers
Alice belief that "you can't handle my boyfriend, and you can't handle me either,"
Compared to the diverse group of female friends in Adam's Encrypted Folder.
Erica's physical appearance is inferior, and she lacks an interesting soul.
Even if they have a special identity.
It hasn't come to that point yet.
Adam took time out of his busy schedule to come here in order to persuade Erica to eliminate any destabilizing factors around Paige.
Why would I invite trouble upon myself?
Erica?
No way!
"It's been a long time since we last saw each other, hasn't it?"
Seeing Erica's dejected expression, Adam had no choice but to take the initiative to start a conversation.
"It's been a long time."
Erica glanced at Adam and Paige sitting together and said sarcastically, "If I remember correctly, my sister Paige was only eleven years old back then, right? How old were you then? Seventeen or eighteen?"
"Time really flies."
Adam completely ignored this and smiled, "Ms. Watson is also getting remarried. Erica, have you met David? He's a very nice man, isn't he?"
"So what if it's good?"
Erica sneered, "And how long can it last?"
Even if she had a problem with her mother who abandoned her, she couldn't say a bad word about David after meeting David.
In the short time they spent together, David made her feel the long-lost fatherly love.
This was something her biological father, who had long since married a stepmother, had never done for her again.
However, like Paige, she was also reluctant to believe in marriage, just not to the same extreme degree as Paige.
"Has David seen the scar on your face?"
Adam gradually got to the point.
"I've met you."
Upon hearing this, Erica touched the old bruise on her cheek, a complex expression on her face.
She was saddened that her boyfriend had hit her.
She also felt happy because David, who was about to become her stepfather, cared for her and stood up for her.
However, she had already gotten used to her boyfriend's dual personality, sometimes gentle and romantic and sometimes violent.
In addition, David is a civilized man.
The matter was eventually dropped.
"Dick isn't always like that."
At this point, Erica finally remembered that her boyfriend had been taken away, and explained on his behalf, "Don't hurt him."
"Don't worry."
Adam laughed and said, "Paige has already stood up for you, why would I want to hurt him? I just didn't want him to hurt Paige's family anymore, so I got a policeman to scare him. You don't suspect the policeman would hurt him, do you?"
"..."
Erica's expression was strange.
She wasn't too worried at first.
But as soon Adam revealed the other person's identity, she couldn't help but worry.
But it's actually hard to explain.
You can't say that United States policemen are dangerous, can you?
How are your mother and David doing lately?
Adam smiled and changed the subject, giving Erica some time to calm down.
"Fine."
Erica suppressed her worries and complaints and casually said, "They're getting married soon. I'm helping my mom with the wedding preparations. I came here this time to help them talk to Paige about being a bridesmaid at the wedding."
After meeting Adam, her feelings for her boyfriend suddenly became less intense.
The desire to stand up for the other party has faded.
"To be a bridesmaid?"
Adam asked in surprise, "Paige for her mother?"
"Yes."
Erica explained, "Not only Paige, but me too. My mom doesn't have any particularly close girlfriends, but she wanted Paige and me to be included, so she thought of having Paige and me be the bridesmaids."
My boyfriend Dick was supposed to be the best man this time...
"Doesn't Paige want to?"
Adam interrupted him directly.
"She needs to see if you have time."
Erica said sourly, "She wants you to be her best man."
"I don't like walking the red carpet with other people."
Paige frowned.
Adam smiled at Paige, then looked at Erica: "When? Where is it being held?"
"In David's hometown, a small town near Washington."
Erica said, "The date is set for two weeks from now, November 18th."
She then complained, "Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner, and they've only been engaged for a few weeks. I really don't understand why they're in such a rush."
Adam smiled.
Don't they realize how old they are? David is starting a business, so naturally they'll try to be as fast as possible and save as much money as possible.
They might even be getting married because of pregnancy.
If we delay any longer, I won't even be able to wear my wedding dress.
How could I not be anxious?
"Paige, I'm free that day, shall we go together?"
Adam had also had a heart-to-heart talk with Paige late at night, so he naturally knew that beneath her aloof and cold exterior, she also had emotional needs.
It's not that she didn't want to go.
Instead, I don't want to go alone and walk the red carpet with a stranger, or rather, a strange monkey.
Given that Erica and her boyfriend will be appearing as best man and maid of honor respectively, Paige will also be walking down the aisle with a best man.
"Good."
Paige and Adam exchanged a glance, their lips curving into a slight smile.
"..."
Erica, who helped with the preparations, suddenly didn't want to participate anymore.
