The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back (Paisley)

Chapter 192

Upon hearing the name Godard. Paisley's brow twiched

A man named Godard from Montera, with a villa here and all those people outside-

Could Max be from the prestigious Godard family of Blearerat

Seeing the confusion in Paisley's eyes, Max nodded. "Yes, I'm from that Godard family

Paisley nodded, but she didn't let her surprise show. She had seen her fair share of people from powerful families.

While the Vanderbilt family didn't have the long history of the Godard family, they were still considered a top family. The only difference was that during Dominick's generation, the family had fewer heirs.

As for the Godard family. Paisley didn't know much about them. She rarely interacted with people from Montera, so her knowledge of the Godard family was limited.

"Since you're from the Godard family of Montera, what brings you to Harrowfell! Paisley casually asked. After speaking, she realized she had asked too much. "Of course, if you don't want to share, that's fine. I was just asking." Max smiled warmly. "There's nothing I can't say. I came to Harrowfell to find someone."

"Hmm." Paisley nodded, not pressing any further. She wasn't really interested in who he was looking for. She had only asked out of curiosity.

Seeing that Paisley didn't ask any further, Max decided to continue on his own, Tm looking for my sister.

"Oh, Paisley responded, still not particularly interested.

Noticing that she didn't seem to care much, Max felt somewhat defeated. He continued, "I'm not the biological child of the Godard family. I was adopted by my father."

"You were adopted too!" Paisley was surprised

Seeing that Paisley seemed a little more curious, Max continued, "Yes, adopted. The person I'm looking for is my father's biological daughter. My father and mother met here in Harrowfell and secretly married, But later, due to some twists of fate, they separated.

"After my father returned to Montera, he lost his memory and forgot about my mother. By the time he remembered, my mother had passed away, and their daughter was missing.

"My father and I have traveled back and forth between Montera and Harrowfell, searching. But we haven't found her." Max's face clouded with worry as he thought about his father. "Even though my father has forgotten about my

mother, he never remarried and has always been alone. When the elders of the Godard family pressured him to either marry or leave an heir, he decided to adopt me.

"All these years, he has never given up on searching for my sister. It's become his lifelong regret."

Paisley listened quietly as

Max spoke about his adoptive father. Inside, her emotions were anything but calm. In comparison, their fathers were so discrens.

Max's father, though he never even met his daughter, never gave up searching for her. Meanwhile, Paisley's father had hurt her again and again, leaving her utterly scarred.

Not all men were terrible. She had simply been unlucky, having only encountered the worst of them so far.

Max noticed a faint sorrow in Paisley's eyes and asked, "Am I talking too much?"

He found it amusing-

he wasn't usually a talkative person. But Paisley's initial lack of interest in his words had provoked a determination in him to keep talking, saying more than he normally would Ultimately, though, these stories had little to do with her. Paisley shook her head, offering a faint smile. "Not at all. I'm just happy for your sister. Her father and brother never gave up on her. Unlike herself she had always been the one left behind.

Taking a deep breath, Paisley stood and walked to the window, stretching her body, which felt exhausted after the acupuncture session. In truth, she was merely trying to mask the growing sadness in her eyes

After all, who wouldn't want to be someone so loved by her family!

Max watched her graceful figure by the window, as though her silhouette revealed the hidden sorrow in her heart. His chest tightened unexpectedly. Unconsciously, he placed his hand over his heart, surprised by the peculiar sensation.

Before long, Leo returned with the medicine. Paisley removed Max's acupuncture needles and gave him some instructions before preparing to leave. As before, Max was able to walk normally immediately after the procedure. He personally escorted Paisley

to the villa's entrance, ready to walk her out, but she stopped him. "That's enough. The rain hasn't stopped yet, and your leg just underwent treatment. It's better for you to stay in and rest."

Max nodded obediently. He was a patient who always followed his doctor's advice. Turning to Leo, he said, "Take Paisley home."

"No need Paisley replied. "It's not far." Without waiting for Leo to fetch an umbrella, she stepped into the rain and

quickly ran toward her house. Max stood there, staring blankly at her figure disappearing into the rain.

"Beautiful, isn't she?" Leo's teasing voice came from behind him. Max snapped out of it and turned to glare coldly at Leo. Leo quickly covered his mouth, muttering, "Yeah, I know, I talk too much." The rain poured all night and only stopped by the following morning.

Dragging ber tired body, Emery arrived at her shop. The moment she stepped inside, she noticed something was off with her staff. "What's going

Before anyone could answer, her eyes fell on the unexpected visitor seated in the center of her shop.

"Dominick! You scumbag! Who invited you here?" Emery's reaction was immediate and fierce, like a

wildcat ready to fight.
