Chapter 1022
Steven was taken aback by the revelation. He then turned to his sister, his expression serious, and said, “So what?”
Sheila blinked, surprised. “Bro, I didn’t mean anything negative…”
“Even if that’s the case,” Steven responded firmly, ‘she’s still helping us. You need to focus and not overanalyze
things. As long as we never return to our previous hardships, everything will be fine!”
“Got it!” Sheila nodded, understanding his point.
The following day dawned with beautiful sunshine, painting the scene with a vibrant glow.
The Steven family moved into their new home.
It was a small house where every room was bathed in sunlight, and it even had a little terrace.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile it wasn’t as spacious as their previous house, it was very cozy.
Steven and Sheila excitedly explored their new rooms.
Xenia looked around the house, sat down on the sofa, and started crying again, but there was a sincere smile on
her face.
The next day.
Rosalynn accompanied Paige to her construction site and helped her solve some issues.
On the way, they chatted casually and mentioned Steven.
“So, their family has settled down in H City?” Paige said, nodding. “I’ve been meaning to talk with you about this.
Although we both want to put the past behind us, we still have to consider the potential risks. That kid’s father is a
criminal, and if he goes back, he might get killed one day. If something happens, we’ll have to find another match.”
“I hadn’t thought about that.” Rosalynn shrugged slightly, “I just genuinely don’t want this family to return to their
former hardships “So, what is this? Accidentally doing a good deed?!
“Perhaps.” Rosalynn chuckled and nodded.
Just then, Paige’s phone began to vibrate.
It was a call from a beauty salon, one she had visited with Peyton.
After some hesitation, Paige picked up.
Peyton hadn’t contacted her at all since the day she sent the text message half a month ago.
The beauty salon said they couldn’t reach Peyton.
“What?” Paige frowned.
“Yes, she missed her appointment two weeks ago and we’ve been unable to reach her since. We’ve tried calling
every day but her phone is always unreachable. Did she change her number?”
“I’m not sure…” Paige felt a bit uneasy, “I’ll try to contact her for you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPaige hung up the phone.
“What’s wrong?” Rosalynn noticed her change in expression and quickly asked.
“Peyton hasn’t been responding to the beauty salon’s calls for a while now.” After saying this, Paige quickly dialed a
number.
The first few seconds of waiting felt incredibly long and anxious.
Then, an automated voice came through the other end: “The number you have dialed is currently unavailable,
please try again later.”
She immediately dialed again.
Still, no one answered.
“Two weeks ago… Thoughts flashed through Paige’s mind.
She opened her text messages and sifted through the spam to find two messages from two months ago that she
had overlooked.
