Paige flinched at Alex’s shout. She realized her mistake and chose not to make a scene. She turned to

Alex and said, “You brought a guest, Alex. Let’s talk later tonight and host your guest first.”

Alex replied, “Don’t worry about him. He can handle himself.”

“I’m concerned about my reputation. You scolded me in front of your friend as if I’m your child,” Paige

muttered.

Lucas stepped forward, saying, “Alex, don’t argue with your girlfriend. It’s just a popsicle.”

“Shut up! Are you going to take responsibility if the baby gets sick from the cold?‘ Alex retorted, rendering

Lucas speechless.

Putting down the trash bin, Alex went into the kitchen to get Paige some warm water. He turned to Lucas

and said, “Come in and have a seat. It’s a small place.”

Lucas didn’t mind and sat next to Paige on the sofa.

“Is this the house you bought for your girlfriend?” he asked.

Paige corrected him, “No, we’re renting this place.”

Lucas raised an eyebrow. “Alex, why not get a place for both of you?”

Paige defended Alex, “It’s not his fault. I didn’t want to move, so he paid three years‘ worth of rent for me.”

Lucas changed the subject, asking, “You’re close friends with Caroline, right?”

Paige grew wary. “Why are you asking about Carol?”

“I just wanted to know if Caroline still has feelings for Evan,” Lucas hastily explained.

Paige didn’t answer but glanced at Alex. “Did you bring him to ask me that?”

Alex shook his head, “He insisted on coming himself. It’s not my concern.”

Paige forced a chuckle. “I can’t share information about Carol. I’m sorry.”

Lucas turned to Alex for help. “Help me explain that I’m not trying to break up Caroline and Evan.”

Alex clarified, “Luke wants your help in persuading Caroline to reconcile with Evan.”

Paige was frustrated. “Why do you have to interfere in Carol’s life? I want to protect my friend, too. I won’t

help!

Lucas argued, “It’s for Carol’s benefit. We can see how much she cares for Evan. If Evan is pursuing her, shouldn’t they be together?”

Paige sniggered. “Your persuasion attempts won’t work on me. Carol can choose her partner.”

Lucas tried another approach. “How about you invite Caroline out so I can talk to her?”

Paige declined, “No, you can meet Caroline yourself. I’m curious why you’re so invested in Evan’s relationship.”

Lucas sighed. “Evan has had a tough past, and all his close friends want him to have a happy family.”

Paige knew about Evan’s difficult past and stayed silent for a moment, then said, “I won’t betray Carol, and she hasn’t had it easy either.”

Lucas remained determined to influence Paige.

Alex added. “I told you not to approach Paige, but you wouldn’t listen. We’ve all tried to persuade

Caroline, but she hesitates. Now that she has learned about Evan’s father murdering her father, she’s even more reluctant to be with him.”

Paige looked at Alex in shock. “What did you just say? How do you know about that?”
