Chapter 107: Chapter 107
This actress is already married and today she came out to the supermarket with her child.
Upon seeing Paige Sterling, she brought her child over to say hello to Paige, somewhat surprised by Julian Hawthorne and Sonny Chambers beside her.
Paige said, "This is my husband, and this is my little cousin."
The actress was also smart and recognized Julian, but didn’t pry further. She tugged on the little girl next to her and said, "This is my daughter."
The little girl’s eyes were sparkling as she stared at Paige. The actress helplessly said, "She’s a loyal fan of yours and really admires you."
Especially recently, with Paige in the limelight, her daughter was turning into a die-hard fan, dreaming daily of becoming as remarkable as Paige in the future.
Paige chuckled, and the little girl tugged at her sleeve, "Paige, can you hug me?"
Sonny tugged at the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself, you wish! If The Great Demon Sterling doesn’t give you two slaps, she’s already being polite.
But to Sonny’s surprise, Paige bent down, picked up the little girl, and naturally praised her a few times, making the stars in the little girl’s eyes shine even brighter.
She looked just like a little fan meeting her idol.
Sonny watched Paige laugh so brilliantly and gently with someone else’s child and got genuinely jealous.
He stood up from the shopping cart and yanked the girl.
The Great Demon Sterling had never held him like that, so why should she hold someone else?
Who really is the biological one here?
In that moment, Sonny felt so wronged that his eyes reddened, pulling at the little girl forcefully, trying to drag her down.
The little girl pushed back, refusing to come down from Paige’s embrace and still wanted to take a photo with Paige.
Paige glared at Sonny, "Sonny, what are you doing?"
Look at that, the moment she turned to him, her face went blank.
Sonny always prided himself on being a man, but to get Paige’s attention, he shed a few golden "beans" right in front of her.
Yet Paige acted like she didn’t see, still chatting with the little girl.
Although the girl was young, she was very sweet-tongued and emotionally intelligent.
Paige was coaxed into laughter, agreeing to her request to take a cheek-to-cheek photo.
Julian stood aside, sharing the same jealous expression as Sonny.
However, seeing Paige so happy, and given the other party was just a child, he was too embarrassed to argue with a kid in front of Paige, so he remained silent.
But Sonny couldn’t stand it anymore, "You have a mom, you know? Why are you clinging to our Great Demon Sterling? Let go of her, she’s mine!"
The little girl looked at Sonny.
Sonny glared at her fiercely.
Then suddenly the little girl started crying, tear after tear, making Paige’s heart ache.
The little girl’s mother, however, knowing her daughter’s usual antics, twitched the corners of her mouth but didn’t expose her.
Paige pinched Sonny’s cheek, "Sonny, are you done? Do you think you don’t have enough homework, or have I been too nice to you?"
Finally, the little girl was taken away by her mom, looking back at Paige every few steps and blowing kisses.
Sonny glared at the little girl viciously, silently mouthing, "Harass my Great Demon Sterling again and I’ll break your legs!"
The little girl stuck her tongue out at Sonny.
Paige’s cold gaze fell on Sonny.
"Sonny, is this how I taught you manners?"
Paige, "Today, write two extra essays in large characters. No sleep until they’re done."
Sonny, "..." Devastated, I’m definitely just some adopted little cousin someone picked up from a pit.
He despairingly asked Paige, "Paige, am I really your own little cousin?"
Paige, "Of course, you are."
"Then why are you so nice to other people’s kids and so mean to me?"
Paige said matter-of-factly, "Other people’s kids are meant to be cherished. Your own are meant to be pummeled."
Since that day, Sonny had a deeper understanding of his situation - he could never expect kindness from The Great Demon Sterling in this lifetime.
Julian felt even more hopeless than Sonny. He suddenly started wondering if they had a son, would Paige treat him the same way?
At night, Julian subtly asked Paige about her attitude towards having children.
Paige, "Do you want kids?"
Truly, no special desire. He felt such matters should follow nature.
If Paige didn’t want kids, he felt he wouldn’t push her to have any.
He didn’t have any particular expectations about kids.
Paige said, "I feel like now isn’t the right time to have kids, don’t you think?"
Julian nodded, "I think if we were to have one, we should have a daughter."
Paige indeed has a gentler attitude towards girls than boys.
If they really had a son, with Paige’s devilish methods, Julian reckoned he’d be forced into becoming a doting father.
The very thought made him shiver.
It’s better to have a daughter, let Paige spoil her if she wants, and he could comfortably play the disliked strict father.
Paige very much agreed with Julian’s proposal, "Yes, if we have one, let it be a daughter. Boys are too troublesome."
The next day, Paige gave everyone in the lab a day off and took them to a club for fun.
During the break, Paige stepped out for some air, only to be pulled into another room by some friends from the entertainment circle.
The ones dragging her in were her so-called friends from the industry, friendships mainly cooked up by their respective studios, with little real-life interaction.
Once Paige got pulled inside, the crowd surrounded her.
"Oh wow, it’s really Paige! Swinging her way up the ladder after leaving the industry, starting a company, glowing with happiness and even better skin."
"Paige, you’ve always been a beacon for us in this circle. Achieving the level of rising into wealth as a star isn’t easy at all. Since we know each other, do enlighten us on how you’ve done it, let us share the luck..."
"Yeah, us sisters still need your support."
Someone sneered, "She’s a big boss now, eyes set high. She wouldn’t bother with us low-tier celebs in showbiz, don’t embarrass yourselves."
Paige pulled her hand away from a woman’s grasp, and turned to leave.
Only to be blocked by a few women.
"Paige, what’s the meaning of this? Struck it rich and now you’re disowning us?"
Paige coldly said, "I’m not familiar with you, move aside." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Tsk, you really became a swan and forgot you were once a pheasant, huh? Want to draw the line with us?"
"You think you’re high and mighty now, pretending like no one knows how you got your current success? Putting up a facade in front of us?"
