Chapter 113 Pastries Made by the Helper
*Abigail!” Paige exclaimed.
She seemed to suddenly remember Abigail, joyfully reaching out to her. “Where did you go? Don’t you want to play with me anymore?”
Abigail walked over and Paige’s hand. “No, we agreed earlier, remember? I would hide, and then you would teach him a lesson.”
Paige seemed a bit confused but then nodded. “Yes, yes. Stephen. bullied you, so I scolded him.”
Stephen’s dark gaze fell on Abigail. “So, you came to complain to Grandma?”
Abigail raised her eyebrow. “What’s wrong? Is that not allowed?”
Stephen’s face grew darker. Without hesitation, Paige slapped him. “I just told you, and you’ve already forgotten? Why are you glaring at your wife?”
Stephen fell silent.
Abigail turned to Paige. “Grandma, you’re so good to me.”
Paige laughed happily. “I like you, so of course I treat you well. Here, try this. The helper made these pastries, they are delicious.” As she spoke, she picked up a piece and offered it to Abigail.
Abigail was momentarily stunned. She instinctively glanced at
Candace, whose face had turned pale. Abigail accepted the pastry.” Thank you, Grandma.”
“Go on, eat up. If you like them, I’ll have her make them regularly. Don’t worry, she will be paid extra for it,” Paige said, looking at Abigail proudly.
Abigail felt a complex mix of emotions as she took a bite of the
pastry and nodded. “It is indeed delicious.”
Paige looked at Candace and beamed. “My granddaughter–in–law likes it too. You should make these often.
Candace forced a smile. “Sure, I will.” How infuriating. She had made these pastries to please Paige. But now, Paige was treating her like a helper.
“Grandma, she’s not a helper,” Stephen said at this moment.
Paige blinked. “Then who is she?”
Abigail also looked atStephen. Her eyes were clear but tinged with faint mockery. How would he introduce Candace’s identity? If he had handled the divorce sooner, Candace wouldn’t be in this awkward position now.
Stephen, seemingly understanding her thoughts, spoke in a low and calm voice. “She’s my friend, Grandma. Don’t you remember? Two years ago, she saved my life. If it weren’t for her, I might not be here.
now.”
Paige suddenly seemed to realize. “Oh yes, she saved you. So she’s. working as our helper now?”
Stephen and Candace were speechless. Meanwhile, Abigail’s mouth twitched slightly.
Paige took Candace’s hand. “You’re a kind girl. You saved him, and I’m very grateful. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he gives you a raise.”
Candace fell silent. She withdrew her hand and forced a smile. “I… I suddenly don’t feel well. I need to go to the restroom.”
Stephen frowned. “Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Candace shook her head. “No, it’s fine.” She quickly walked toward the restroom.
Paige continued to remind Stephen about giving Candace a raise. Stephen’s dark gaze fell on Abigail. “If you have any issues, direct them at me. Why do you have to disturb Grandma?”
