Chapter 269: Chapter 269

Because of this misunderstanding, Faye Hawthorne always felt guilty when facing Julian Hawthorne and Paige Sterling, and her eyes almost didn’t dare to look at them.

These two are too smart, she’s always afraid they’d find out she almost sold out the only daughter-in-law to be.

However, even so, when Julian and Paige came to The Hawthorne Family, they noticed Faye Hawthorne acting strangely.

But neither of them thought in that direction, they just assumed Faye had some other issues, and seeing that she wasn’t speaking up, they thought it was inconvenient for her to say.

What Julian cared more about was Archie’s gaze, especially the way Archie looked at Paige...

Julian was really sensitive to those admiring looks directed at Paige, he spotted them right away.

So Archie’s secretive glances at Paige were quickly scared off by Julian’s cold, icy stare.

Archie pursed his lips, lowered his head, and said nothing, keeping everything to himself.

Since she had a favorite man, what could he do now?

All he could do was keep this feeling inside and slowly heal the heartbreak himself.

Moreover, he was too ignorant before, not knowing that Paige was so famous.

Now in front of Paige, he even felt a bit inferior, so how could he have the courage to pursue her?

But isn’t this cousin a bit too domineering? Can’t even look?

While Julian and Archie were mentally sparring, Old Master Hawthorne cheerfully said, "Faye, didn’t you say you were taking Archie out for a matchmaking? How did it turn out?"

Old Master, a few days ago, only heard Faye mention it; it was also the reason Faye stayed in the country.

But Old Master didn’t know that person was Skylar Hughes.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have asked.

The old man’s question caught her off-guard, making Faye awkwardly glance at Julian and Paige, mumbling, "Didn’t work out, hehe."

Old Master Hawthorne was strict with his sons and grandsons, but doted on women, smiling and asking, "How come it didn’t work out? Weren’t the two kids fond of each other?"

Faye couldn’t say anything further. The more she spoke, the more mistakes she could make.

But Archie pursed his lips and said, "Aunt made a mistake."

Old Master looked over, wanting to hear more from Archie.

Faye wanted to stop Archie, but it was too late; usually too introverted to waste words, he was now quite articulate.

"The girl I like isn’t Skylar Hughes; Aunt got it wrong. That girl also misunderstood, thinking Aunt wanted to set her up with cousin..."

Paige’s chopsticks paused suddenly, and she looked up.

She suddenly remembered that lately, Skylar Hughes seemed closer to Faye, and not long ago, Skylar had said some strange things to her.

So, Skylar over-imagined it, thinking Faye wanted to set her up with Julian, which is why she said those things?

Old Master also remembered that Skylar Hughes had come to find Faye at their house before.

So that girl was actually Skylar Hughes?

Of course, Old Master wasn’t interested in girls’ affairs.

But unfortunately, he was a die-hard fan of his granddaughter-in-law, even a core member of her fan club, so he naturally knew about the things Skylar did online.

Knowing this, he couldn’t bring himself to like Skylar.

He immediately said, "It’s just as well it didn’t work out. I don’t think that girl matches Archie either."

Then Old Master cheerfully asked Archie, "So which girl do you like? Tell Grandpa, and I’ll find a match for you, much more reliable than your aunt."

Archie was silent, Faye was also silent.

Paige seemed quite interested, "Who is it?"

Julian suddenly gave Paige a glare.

Paige looked puzzled, and then noticed Archie looking at her, she suddenly understood and was a bit embarrassed.

After the meal ended awkwardly, Julian immediately took Paige out of The Hawthorne Family house.

Seeing Julian’s slightly gloomy expression, Paige touched her nose.

She felt like she was always making Julian upset recently, so to make him a bit happier, Paige decided to dye her hair in a more cheerful color.

She went to the hair salon often recommended by Summer Xavier.

Before coloring, the stylist asked her to pick a color, and Paige chose a particularly cheerful and fashionable plum color.

Her hair was already short, just a little perm, and she’d be a dashing handsome guy.

The dyeing process was long, and Paige unknowingly fell asleep.

It took a while before the stylist woke her up, and she realized she was surrounded by people, with someone even livestreaming her.

She felt like a foreign exhibit being watched.

The stylist helplessly said, "They recognized you, and they wouldn’t leave..."

But seeing Paige sleep so sweetly, they didn’t disturb her, they were quiet the whole time.

Ever since Paige elevated her status and became a scientist, people’s impression of her was no longer the same as when she was in the entertainment industry. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽

Instead, just like how most see scientists, they thought she was stiff, introverted...

In short, completely incompatible with the fashion world, not to mention that Paige frequently appeared in public dressed very casually, making everyone almost certain she was out of touch.

But now Paige came to dye her hair, and in such a non-mainstream color, as if they discovered something extraordinary, exciting and thrilling.

And Paige only then noticed her hair, which was completely different from the color she chose.

She asked the stylist bewilderedly, "Is this the color I picked?"

The stylist said, "There were too many people, I got a bit of crowd anxiety, might have mixed up the color, should I fix it for you?"

Joking, if she dyed it again, even more people might come to watch.

She didn’t want to hit the trending topics repeatedly just for dyeing her hair.

But with the way it turned out, let alone making Julian happy, Paige herself wasn’t happy.

She never dyed such a non-mainstream color even in her rebellious phase, it’s like a patch of green grass on her head.

So Paige directly said since they didn’t dye it as she wanted, the price should be two-thirds off.

The stylist tried to haggle a bit more with Paige.

Paige was like she was at the vegetable market, showcasing her bargaining skills, leaving everyone gaping in astonishment.

God Sterling, you’re so wealthy, yet still such a bargain hunter?

And, as expected, Paige’s entire hair dyeing process was posted online, and the whole network witnessed how her hair color was brutally tortured into a grassy green meadow.
