Chapter 194: Chapter 194

Moreover, the fact that Angus Langdon, of all people, was concerned about her safety getting home at night made her feel like she had encountered a paranormal event.

"Angus Langdon, if you keep following me, don’t blame me for being rude to you."

After saying this, she continued walking forward.

Angus Langdon gritted his teeth and got out of the car, calling after Paige Sterling, "Paige!"

Paige turned back to look at him. He hesitated, as if he had a million things stuck in his throat that he couldn’t say.

Stammering and dawdling.

Paige was exasperated, "Angus Langdon, if you keep looking at me like that, I’ll think..."

Angus reacted quite aggressively, "You’re talking nonsense, I don’t have any feelings for you!"

Paige had an odd look on her face, "I was just thinking you might have cataracts or glaucoma."

Angus, "...", remembering how he just implied the truth unknowingly, his face turned green.

He no longer hesitated and directly asked, "Paige Sterling, it was you who saved me at the pool, why didn’t you say anything all this time?"

Paige frowned, "Why should I say anything?"

Angus thought when he brought this up, Paige’s expression would be more complicated.

But Paige was completely expressionless, as if this matter was insignificant to her.

Angus felt uncomfortable.

"Did you know I kept misunderstanding, I thought..."

"What’s that got to do with me?"

Hearing Paige’s tone, Angus was so angry, "If it doesn’t concern you, then why did you care if I lived or died?"

He felt stuck in an awkward position now.

Paige, "Even if it was a dog that fell in, I would have saved it."

Paige, "So you don’t have to overthink it. I didn’t save you because I particularly cared about you. I saved you simply because I’m a good person. In the future, don’t follow me around looking all creepy."

With that, Paige was about to leave.

Angus took a few steps forward to block her path.

"Paige, I was wrong about what happened earlier, I just want to apologize to you, and from now on we can..."

Paige cut him off again, "Enough, don’t say another word, I don’t want to be friends with someone who has a screw loose."

Angus’ expression went stiff, "Paige, I already know how you feel about me, you don’t need to pretend anymore."

Angus continued, "Since you like me so much, it’s not impossible for us to be together, but you have to promise me you won’t be tangled up with Julian Hawthorne anymore, and you can’t hit me again. You have to listen to me in everything, you can’t..."

Before he could finish speaking, Paige kneed him in the abdomen.

Then she left Angus, who was in too much pain to stand it.

The pain for Angus didn’t end there. Enduring the agony, he drove back to the Langdon Family estate, where he saw Austin Xavier’s car at the entrance.

Angus saw Austin sitting in the car and went over to knock on the car door, asking him, "Why are you sitting outside my house without going in?"

Austin got out of the car, looking at Angus coldly.

Then Austin suddenly grabbed his collar, "I treated you as a brother, but you’re eyeing the woman I like?"

Angus was utterly baffled, and before he could react, Austin had punched him a few times.

"Austin Xavier, what are you doing? Who the hell is eyeing the woman you like? You have so many women, who knows which one you actually like?"

"You don’t know I like Paige Sterling?"

Angus looked at Austin in shock, "You... like Paige Sterling?"

Austin said, "I guarded against everyone except you. Angus Langdon, you’re good, hiding it so well."

Another round of punches.

Angus, "..." So Austin Xavier actually likes Paige Sterling?

Suddenly, this world felt surreal to him.

And when Paige got home, she was met with Mr. Hawthorne’s expression that was half-smiling, half-not.

Burt Chambers and Sonny Chambers were so intimidated by his smile that they hid in their rooms afraid to come out. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥

Paige asked, "What’s going on?"

Julian Hawthorne pointed to the seat next to him, "Come over and sit here."

Paige walked over and sat down, watching Julian Hawthorne warily, "What do you want?"

Julian Hawthorne said, "About that man you’ve kept hidden in your heart for years and can’t have."

Seeing Julian Hawthorne smile, she thought this smile was really...

"Julian Hawthorne, stop being cryptic, just say what you mean!"

Julian Hawthorne said, "Now everyone is saying that although you’re with me, it’s just your last resort, and the person you truly love is someone else..."

With that, he took out his phone and tossed it to Paige.

Paige then saw various short stories with herself as the protagonist.

All these short stories were love triangles.

And the main characters of the love triangle were her, Julian Hawthorne, and... Angus Langdon.

In one of those short stories, she even saw a passage: She loved him for years without success, and many years later, when she was successful in her career, they met at a banquet. Someone asked her what kind of man she liked, and she held back her tears, looking at the handsome man amidst the clinking glasses and pointed at him...

Looking up, Julian Hawthorne was still staring at her.

Paige, "You’re seriously believing what they’re randomly writing?"

Julian Hawthorne still looked at her, "Of course, I trust you."

Paige, "...I think I can explain this."

Paige, "At that time, the person I was pointing at was you, really, they misunderstood..."

No wonder Angus was looking at her with that bizarrely complicated gaze; this misunderstanding was a big one.

Because of this, Paige, a science major, was forced to write a short story.

Under Julian Hawthorne’s watchful eye, it took her three days to finish the short story.

Julian Hawthorne wanted her to post it on Weibo.

Just the thought of the huge fan base on her Weibo made Paige want to bang her head against a wall.

"How about not posting it and I’ll just explain directly?"

If her writing went online, it would be a permanent black mark on her reputation.

Julian Hawthorne smiled but said nothing.

As expected, as soon as Paige posted this explanatory short story, the entire internet burst into laughter.

"So it was all a misunderstanding, haha..."

"Haha, Paige’s story writing is hilarious..."

"Paige’s writing style is like a wrecked car scene, had me in stitches..."

"Unbelievable that someone as powerful as Paige has writing skills so tragic..."

"So who was the mysterious Mr. H pointed at by God Sterling?"

Paige, with a numb face in the midst of the laughter, looked towards Julian Hawthorne, "Satisfied?"

Angus Langdon also saw Paige’s short story and suddenly had mixed emotions.

Damn it! It’s all Skylar Hughes’ fault! If Skylar hadn’t misled him, he wouldn’t have embarrassed himself so much in front of Paige Sterling!

After that, whenever Angus saw Paige, he almost always lowered his head and took a detour.

He felt that for the rest of his life, he would never be able to hold his head high in front of Paige Sterling.
