Belle furrowed her brows. Ignoring him, she decided to continue working.However, Grayson said, "You should go to the clinic!"Belle's frown deepened as she continued to work.Grayson added, "Sam, go and call the doctor over!"At that, she was rendered speechless. She could only put her small sickle down and requested a leave from the lead. Then, she went to the clinic.Grayson followed closely behind her.Page Corporation had an emergency medical team of one doctor and two nurses. Its purpose was to attend to any unexpected incidents that might occur to the employees during work hours.When the doctor and nurses saw Grayson coming over personally, they thought something major had happened. Thus, they quickly started to check Belle's injury.Ultimately, they discovered it was just a small cut on her finger.The male doctor asked, "It's … just a minor injury?"Before Belle could speak, Grayson angrily snapped, "What do you mean by such a minor injury? She's bleeding! Isn't it
After that, Belle did whatever Grayson ordered her to do. She did not make a fuss or yell at him. She seemed rather indifferent and distant whenever she talked to him.After heading home, she ate dinner at night and played with Sixteen for a while. Then, she washed up before sleeping.It was the same when she went to work the next day.Grayson also had a temper. He did not pay her any heed since she did the same.However, he could no longer endure it after a few days. Without being aware of it, he started to try to appease her. He would prepare sweets for Belle during work hours, calling her to eat at his office.Plus, he would even go to the milkshake bar at the boxing gym to buy her favorite milkshake.Since Belle refused to eat dinner with him, he ordered someone to bring her favorite food back home.However, it didn't work.Belle seemed rather indifferent to his advances.Knowing his coaxing didn't work, he could only look for help.On Saturday, he hid in the bathroom and
The moment Belle stepped out of the elevator, she was greeted with numerous colorful balloons floating in the air. There were white, pink, blue, purple, and yellow balloons. It was a magnificent display of vibrant colors.The balloons caught Belle's attention as she walked out of the elevator. The entire floor was filled with colorful balloons and romantic decorations, creating a dreamy atmosphere. Moreover, almost everyone on this floor was couples and young ladies.Belle was confused. She wondered if they sold gifts for senior citizens at such a place.Looking over to Grayson, she wanted to ask if they were in the wrong place. However, Grayson had already stepped forward.Belle was stunned for a moment before following him.Grayson was dressed in an exquisite suit, his hair perfectly groomed. Plus, his handsome features, coupled with his sophisticated air, instantly attracted a group of admirers.Women with or without boyfriends all fixed their gazes on him.A group of you
After they left, Belle glanced at the backseat and boot. They were filled with dolls. She fell into deep thought. She couldn't believe that Finneas would like something like that.The servants were stunned to see the dolls when Belle and Grayson returned to Page Residence. They wondered what Grayson was thinking.Finneas thought that Grayson had bought the dolls for Belle. "Why did you guys bring the dolls inside? Grayson bought them for Belle!" he scolded.Belle quickly explained, "Mr. Page Senior, Grayson bought them for you. Wait. He didn't buy them. He got them from the claw machine."Finneas was confused.Belle added, "He said you liked them."Finneas turned to look at his grandson. The latter had entered the house with a darkened and unhappy expression.Finneas guessed what had happened. Grayson must have got the dolls for Belle to make her happy.However, Belle didn't appreciate that. As Grayson didn't want to hurt his pride, he lied and said he got the dolls for Finneas
Grayson calmed himself down before taking the call. "Hello?""Mr. Page, I'm Lena.""I know. What's the matter?""I've finished making your scented sachet. Do you have time to come and collect it?"Grayson hummed a reply. "Yes. Where are you right now? I'll come and find you."After Lena told him a location, Grayson replied, "I'll be there in around 20 minutes.""Okay. I'll wait for you."After hanging up the call, Grayson told Belle, "I need to go and collect something before going home."Belle went straight to the point. "You should go, then. I'll take a taxi."Then, Belle wanted to get out of the car. It was obvious she didn't want to go with him.Grayson said, "We can go together. Where I'm headed is on the way home, anyway. We can head home after I collect my things.""No! I don't want to go!"Grayson added, "It's a woman!""What?" Belle didn't understand what he meant.Grayson repeated, "A woman asked me to meet up with her."Belle questioned, "So what?"Grayson fu
As Dorothy wasn't here, Simon helped to check the sachets.Simon didn't find anything wrong with them. "I think they are fine. However, you can ask Ms. Walters to check if you want to be sure," he said.Grayson felt a bit annoyed when Belle was brought up. He put away the scented sachets and reed diffuser. "A country bumpkin like her wouldn't know anything about this," he retorted.Simon couldn't tell him that Belle had saved Patrick. So Simon could only explain, "Don't look down on her! Her grandfather is friends with Grandma, after all. He's a capable person. There's no way Belle, who her grandfather had raised, would be any less!"Grayson didn't reply. He understood Belle's strong points. However, he never expected her to be capable of medical skills.Otherwise, she would have known about his insomnia after sleeping in the same room for so long.Grayson changed the topic. "Why is Mrs. Jenkins Senior in seclusion for so long?"Simon shook his head. "I don't know." He looke
Just as Belle was about to head back to her rental house, she received a call from Scott. Scott had asked her out for a drink.She initially tried to refuse, but her guilt over the matter of the game convinced her to accept the invitation.However, she arrived at their meeting spot only to find Robert alone. Scott was nowhere in sight.Belle was surprised. "Why are you here? Where's Scott?"Robert, too, was surprised upon meeting her. He quickly realized that this was probably Scott's plan all along.Half an hour ago, Scott had called Robert, insisting they meet up for a drink to discuss important matters as soon as possible.Scott had never mentioned Belle in the call. And Robert simply came to meet up with his buddy.When Robert arrived to find no one waiting for him, he called Scott, only to be met with excuses for being late.The person who eventually turned up, however, was Belle.He had his suspicions when Scott planned the meet-up at such a romantic venue. But he quickl
Robert paused his steps and silently enjoyed the scenery unfolding before him.He kept both hands in his pocket and remained still. He stared at Belle as if he was enjoying a peaceful retirement life. He very much appreciated such a calm and soothing scene.As the eldest son of the Strauss family, he had to uphold various responsibilities for becoming the future head of the family. However, the young Robert was a sickly child and would often be ostracized by his peers.Since he had enlisted in the army, he had been handling a wide range of eccentric soldiers, both among the enemy and within his own ranks. These were individuals who found joy in the chaos of the battlefield, where lives were reduced to mere statistics, leaving him with no opportunity for relaxation.Moments of ease like such were the rarest commodity in his life. He came to appreciate a peaceful life more than anybody else. It was just that …As he stared at Belle, his memories came flooding back. Many years b
