The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!-Chapter 473: Time to Get Lost
Paige Sterling was in a bad mood, Wayne Wright didn’t know what was bothering her again, so he asked, "Are you feeling stuffy? Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Paige said, "No, the fat on my body won’t just disappear by walking."
Wayne’s gaze naturally fell on Paige’s... chest...
He looked for a while before realizing Paige was watching him too.
Wayne immediately shifted his gaze away and his face burned fiercely.
And just as the atmosphere was getting weird, Julian Hawthorne showed up again.
Today he was clearly dressed up, looking quite dignified.
As soon as he came in, he sat by the bed and started showing concern for Paige, acting like a good husband.
Paige felt a chill run down her spine and asked, "What do you really want?"
Julian said affectionately, "Paige, let’s have a baby?"
Paige was quite shocked by this statement.
Julian continued to look at Paige lovingly and leaned in closer, "I know you always wanted a child, how about we have a baby who looks like you?"
Paige couldn’t take it anymore, and just as she was about to kick him away, Wayne suddenly rushed over and tossed Julian aside.
Julian, "..."
Having been tossed around by Wayne several times, he was almost used to it now, and got up nonchalantly, continuing to express his affections to Paige.
Paige really couldn’t stand it, "Julian, say what you need to say, if not, then get out and stop bothering me."
Julian looked awkward, knowing that when he acted this way with Alisa and Sarah Sutton, those two women were desperate to do anything for him.
Why didn’t it work with Paige?
This woman is really something else.
Julian regained his composure and tentatively said, "Paige, I heard you’re planning to hand over Penson to someone else to manage?"
He looked at Paige expectantly, waiting for her to say she would hand Penson over to him.
He’s Paige’s husband, Paige is sick, if she doesn’t hand Penson over to him, then who would she give it to? 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
If Paige were smart, she would know what to do.
But he waited and waited, and never heard Paige announce him as the chairman of Penson, so he had to come find Paige himself to prompt her to make the announcement soon.
He couldn’t wait any longer to showcase his ambitions and talents on the stage of Penson.
"Yes," Paige nodded, "I’m planning to find a professional manager to help me manage Penson."
The smile on Julian’s face immediately faded, and he looked at Paige, disappointed.
"Paige, I thought we were a unified front as husband and wife, I thought you were going to entrust Penson to me to manage, but I didn’t expect that my intention to share your burdens doesn’t earn your trust, you really make me heartbroken..."
Paige laughed at his pretense, "With the huge responsibility of Penson on your shoulders, how could you handle it? I’m also worried you’d be too tired, so I’m not bothering you. This way you have more time to do what you want, sleep with the women you want."
Julian directly ignored Paige’s sarcastic words and immediately declared his loyalty, "How could I be tired? No matter how tired I am, I’m willing for you, Paige, you know I’ve never wavered in my feelings for you. I’m willing to bear the heavy burden, to move forward for you, just so you can be a bit more relaxed..."
He continued to look at Paige expectantly.
But Paige still did not agree.
Julian persisted, trying harder.
"Paige, we are the closest people in the world, what’s mine is yours, what’s yours is mine. Since you have no intention of managing Penson, just hand it over to me. I definitely won’t let you down; I will lead Penson to its peak. You must believe in the man you married; he surely has that ability."
Paige chuckled, "So I hand Penson over to you, and then you use my money to please Alisa? Or directly give Penson to Alisa? Julian, do you take me for a fool?"
Julian looked embarrassed and denied, "Paige, how could you think that way? Alisa and I..."
Julian knew he couldn’t let Paige down now, otherwise the company that was about to be his would slip away.
He said sincerely, "Paige, in the end, Alisa was just a lifesaver to me. I’ve thought it over, and there are many ways to repay her, I don’t necessarily have to sacrifice myself. I will definitely keep my distance from her in the future, won’t let you be sad again, please believe me, okay?"
Paige raised an eyebrow, "Are you telling the truth?"
Julian immediately nodded, "Of course, how could I deceive you, Paige? Now I realize, in this world only you truly care for me. Those women out there are only after my money. In the future, I just want to live a good life with you, love you for a lifetime, never be tempted by those women again, never do anything to hurt you, as the saying goes, the return of a prodigal son is worth more than gold, I hope, Paige, you will forgive me this one time for old times’ sake."
Paige chuckled without saying a word, then after a while, said to Wayne Wright, "I’m hungry."
Right when everything seemed to be going well, why did she suddenly get hungry?
The mood Julian had carefully cultivated was shattered by Paige’s single line about being hungry.
Meanwhile, Wayne opened the insulated lunch box on the table.
Julian thought he had managed to coax Paige and wished she would sign an agreement right then and hand Penson over to him.
"Paige, you’ve been at your parent’s and in the hospital for so long, we’ve been separated for months, I really miss you, why not move back together? In the future, there will only be the two of us, lovingly devoted, never any other women, if you wish, we can even have a few cute babies..."
Paige’s gaze lifted a little, Wayne Wright watched her, thinking she was about to say ’yes’.
Wayne shifted his gaze, his hand tilted the lunch box and the soup spilled directly onto Julian.
The angle was so peculiar no one believed it wasn’t deliberate.
Julian’s face immediately turned grim, "Is this how you take care of Paige? Are you trying to scald her with your clumsiness?"
He then looked at Paige, "Paige, since we’ve reconciled, there’s no need for you to keep him around to annoy me, send him away, he’s such an eyesore!"
He didn’t believe for a second that even after he admitted defeat, Paige would keep this ugly man around.
Even now, Julian couldn’t believe that Paige had any feelings for this ugly man.
After all, Paige wasn’t blind, why would she want him when she has such a fine man?
She was just doing this to vex him.
Now that Paige’s purpose was achieved and he was willing to return to the family, this man’s role should end, he should go.
Paige glanced at Wayne, and said, "Indeed, he is a bit of a nuisance."
"Then send him away, just seeing him reminds me of how he looked at you with those disgusting eyes, you are my wife, he is truly audacious..."
Paige directly interrupted him, "You’ve got soup all over your clothes."
Reminding Julian that it was time for him to leave.
Unexpectedly, Julian stood up, saying, "Paige, find me some clothes to change into."
Paige was annoyed, "Look for yourself."
Julian frowned, this isn’t the attitude a wife should have towards her husband, Paige’s disrespect was too much?
Previously it was due to his relationship with Alisa, now that he’s admitted his fault, Paige being so relentless is over the top.
But thinking of Penson, he held his temper.
Once Penson and the Sterling Family were in his hands, he would decide how to deal with Paige.
A man must endure to accomplish great things.
"Fine, I’ll find them myself."
