Chapter 1108
Baillie was left speechless, then he burst into laughter till his whole body shook.
“You’re still laughing; I heard from my friend that you set a trap for me!” Paige gave him a playful smack on the
shoulder and said, “You’d better start explaining! When did you meet me? Have you known me since I was a kid?”
She and Baillie didn’t study in the same country, so there was no chance they met then. Going further back, Baillie
was just a kid before she went abroad to study. “No.” Baillie shook his head.
“Then when?” Paige was puzzled.
Baillie looked up at Paige and said, “Give me a kiss, and I’ll tell you.”
How easy was that? Paige didn’t hesitate; she cupped Baillie’s face and gave him a deep French kiss.
“Spill it!” She was dying of curiosity!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBaillie felt a wave of comfort wash over him.
He glanced at Paige and then at the fine weather outside the window.
He met Paige on the eighth day after he returned to his home country. At that time, Baillie was utterly fed up with
the world. He was tired of trying to seem normal. He couldn’t find a reason to stay in this boring world. Instead of
going back home, he chose to live alone in H City. He was prepared for the day when his boredom reached its peak
and he would end his life without his parents and fam
family finding out.
The night before that day, Baillie had been unable to sleep all night. He had been suffering from insomnia for years.
As dawn broke, Baillie put on his workout clothes and sneakers, ready to go for a run, hoping the exhaustion would
bring him sleep. If he still couldn’t sleep, then there was no point in continuing to live.
He ran for a long time. He found a small park near the residential area and ran into it. The park was so small that
he could finish running around it in ten minutes. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the lively laughter of
children.
He looked over and saw a woman in a light green sun–protective shirt and black yoga pants sitting on a park bench.
Her soft hair shone in the sunlight; her skin was fair; and under the sun, she seemed to glow.
He didn’t know if she was also suffering from insomnia like him. She was sitting there, hugging her knees, sleeping
fitfully.
Without knowing why, Baillie went over..
“Shh!” A gentle voice came from behind him.
Baillie turned around and saw a very cute little girl covered in grass clippings.
“Brother, don’t wake up my auntie! She works really hard and takes care of me for my mom, she’s really tired. Can
you please not disturb her?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBaillie nodded subconsciously.
The little girl quickly ran off to play with a dog.
Baillie didn’t know why, but he sat down.
The people coming and going around him seemed to be ignored.
He didn’t know how long it had been when she finally woke up drowsily.
“Ivy~” She turned around, accurately found the little girl rolling on the grass, then stood up somewhat exasperated
and said, “Oh my God! How can you be so naughty?”
Baillie laughed for some reason, and when he realized he was laughing, he was stunned.
Looking towards the grass, he saw her tripping over a big dog and falling awkwardly onto the grass.
Baillie was startled and instinctively stood up to go over.
However, she who fell on the grass just lay there, relaxed.
Baillie stood there; all the troubles in his chest were gone.
He knew he might have found the meaning of life and redemption.
