Following that, Sumner was about to return to his room.


    Paige detected a note of reproach in his voice.


    Was he holding her responsible for orchestrating Lindsey’s invitation and trying to match-make them?


    Paige grabbed Sumner’s arm, seeking answers.


    “Sumner, be honest with me.


    Do you have feelings for Lindsey?”


    Knowing Sumner inside out, Paige recognized his charm and kindness.


    Despite having numerous admirers over the years, she had never witnessed him looking at any girl the same way he looked at Lindsey.


    It was akin to the way Everleigh used to look at Brady Lawson.


    Sumner, his eyes covered by his curled bangs, stood in silence.


    Yet, his quietude spoke volumes to Paige.


    Understanding his feelings for Lindsey, Paige patted Sumner on the back.


    “If you like her, go after her.


    Even if she’s married, there’s a possibility of a divorce.


    At the moment, she’s just dating someone.


    It’s uncertain whether she’ll end up marrying that man.


    Are you familiar with her boyfriend? What is his family background and personality like? Is he a suitable match for Lindsey, capable of making her happy? Lindsey is incredibly pure and innocent.


    She might be vulnerable to the charm of deceitful words from men.


    Can you bear to witness her with someone unsuitable, potentially leading her down a regrettable path and wasting her life?”


    Sumner, lowering his head, reyed the scene where Lindsey took a bus with Domenic in his mind.


    It appeared that man could only provide her with a modest life.


    Despite this, he respected her choices.


    Softly, he replied to Paige, “I can’t bring myself to interfere in Lindsey’s love life.


    ”


    With that, Sumner drew his arm and walked away.


    Disappointed, Paige yelled behind him, “If you don’t fight for your happiness, no one else can help you! You’re as reticent as your mother!”


    Upon hearing this, Sumner abruptly halted and turned back to gaze at Paige.


    Despite Sumner’s outwardly sunny and cheerful demeanor, he harbored a sensitive and reservThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    ed nature.


    Consequently, Paige seldom broached the topic of his mother in his presence.


    Her tongue slipped, and she instantly regretted it.


    “Did my mother really die in an ident? What was her life like when she was alive?” Sumner asked tentatively, gazing at Paige.

    Paige averted her gaze, refraining from making eye contact with him.


    She had never disclosed the truth about Sumner’s parentage-that his mother was Everleigh Pearson, a renowned diva, and his father was Brady Lawson, the head of the Lawson family, the second-ranking n among the top four.


    Everleigh’s demise was not idental; it was a tragic suicide.


    In the prime of her youth, she took a fatal leap from a thirty-floor building.


    The Walsh family, leaders of the top four ns, was powerful.


    To join this powerful family through marriage, Brady pushed Everleigh to her tragic end.


    The harsh truth weighed heavily on Paige, who couldn’t disclose the cruel details to Sumner.


    She believed he deserved to live his own life without being burdened by the grudges of the past generation.


    She wished for him to break free from his mother’s tragic destiny and embrace a life of freedom and joy.


    Paige wanted Sumner to courageously pursue his own happiness.


    Everleigh had a brief and troubled life marked by depression.


    Paige was determined to spare Sumner from sharing his mother’s fate.


    Paige rubbed her temples and averted his gaze, saying, “There’s nothing to discuss.


    Let’s leave the past behind.


    I’m feeling a bit weary.


    I’ll head back to bed now.


    Good night.


    ” With that, she turned around and returned to her room.


    Each time Sumner mentioned his mother, Paige skillfully sidestepped the topic.


    She was clearly hiding something from him.
