Chapter 107 Not this again , Paisley thought , fighting back a groan .
Why are you so hung up on love ! Were not kids anymore , she said .
So you dont love him , do you ? Dominick pressed for an answer .
Paidey didnt bother responding .
She kept her eyes fixed on Paul , silently willing him to wake up so she could get out of there .
But Dominick wouldnt let her dodge the question .
He stepped right in front of her , blocking her view of Paul Paisley , I know you never remarried .
That youve been raising the kid on your own .
What are you getting at ? Paisley felt a headache coming on from dealing with Dominick .
Dominick stared at Paisley insently , his eyes full of sincerity .
His voice carried a mix of compromise , resignation , and desperate longing .
Il treat Rena like my own daughter and love her as if she were mine .
Just marry me again , and I can pretend everything that happened before was just a bad dream Dominick said softly .
Paisley let out a laugh of disbelief .
Why on earth would I want to marry you again ? Were both single , and we have Grayson , int getting back together the obvious choice ? Dominick spoke like it was the most natural thing in the world .
Get back together ? Paisley met his eyes head on , deciding to lay it all out What kind of marriage are we talking about here ! The kind where you love me only when your schedule allows ith Or the kind where you drop everything the moment Marissa needs something ? Or maybe the kind where your family still wont accept me after four whole years Tell me .
Dominick , what exactly would I get out of marrying you again ? So this is what I get ? A husband too busy to care about me , some woman .
standing between us , and a son who doesnt even want me as his mom Each of Paisleys words made Dàmagicks frown deepen .
Listen , whats going on with Marissa and me Save it , Paisley cut him off T doift care whats happening between you and Marissa .
Thats your business , not mine .
The only reason Im still here : is for Paul Nothing to do with you , or Grayson , or the whole Vanderbilt family Paisley , just let me Dominick still wanted to say something .
Suddenly , a fit of coughing from Paul interrupted their argument .
Grandpa Dominicks eyes lit up as he rushed to the bedside .
His tense expression melted into relief when he saw Paul was really awake .
Dom Paul called out to Dominick , and then his eyes searched the room until they found Paisley .
A weak smile crossed his face .
Paisley , come to me here to Pauls smile made Paisleys heart clench.
She walked over with a lump in her throat .
Mr.
Paul Vanderbült , Im glad youre awake .
She still couldnt bring herself to call him Grandpa .
A flash of disappointment crossed Pauls face .
Thank you for saving me .
I might have been unconscious , but I could hear everything .
I know it was you who saved me No need to thank me .
I was my duty Paisley checked his condition again and ran through another series of tests .
Only after confirming everything was stable did the weight finally lift from her chest .
She turned to Dominick in a businesslike manner .
Since Mr.
Paul Vanderbilt is awake , it means hes pulled through this time .
Charles and Jonathan will handle his ongoing treatment .
My work here is done , so Ill be heading out .
Mr.
Paul Vanderbilt , focus on getting better .
Ill take my leave Paisley grabbed her bag from the couch and headed for the door .

Paisley , wait .
Dominack hurried after her .
Froin his hospital bed , Paul watched them and let out a heavy sigh .
The truth was , hed been awake for a while , just pretending to sleep .
Hed hoped his grandson might somehow patch things up with Paidey , maybe even get back together .
But Dominick was seriously clueless when it came to feelings .
Each thing he said just made matters worse until Paisley was practically steaming If Paul hadnt woken up when he did , he had no idea what kind of mess that wouldve turned into .
He hoped the interruption would give them both a chance to cool off and talk things through properly .
1/2 10:09 AM cc Chapter 107 Paisley , hold on a second .
Dominick caught her arm in the hallway .
I wasnt finished .
Paisley shrugged him off .
Yeah , well , Im done listening .
She took a deep breath to steady herself .
Look , Dominick , I was stupid before , buying into all that love stuff .
But Im over it now .
From here on out , the only person Im looking out for is myself .
Seeing her about to walk away again .
Dominick blurted out desperately , What about Grayson ! Are you saying you only care about your daughter now ! Graysons your child , too .
Paisleys voice was completely calm now.
No.
Hes your child .
Im just his biological mother .
Of course , Ill pay child support if thats what you want .
whatever the law requires .
Paisley , are you really going to hold something against Grayson that he said when he was three ! He was just a toddler .
How could he possibly understand anything Dominick argued desperately .
Paisley smiled , but there was no warmth in it , Like I said , kids might not know better , but adults should .
Too bad none of you adults got this .
As Paisley turned to leave , she caught sight of Grayson and Marissa standing at the entrance to the hallway .
Marissa was carrying several elegant takeout boxes with the same logo as the empty containers in the trash by the hospital bed .
So Marissa is the one Dominick mentioned bringing breakfast , Paisley thought Marissa stood there , one hand holding Graysons , the other carrying the takeout boxes .
That ever pleasant smile was still plastered on her face .
Good morning .
Ms.
Sutton .
I brought Dom some breakfast .
Why dont you join us for a bite ? No.
It was all Paisley said .
She strode away , not bothering to fake politeness for anyone .
Marissa acted completely oblivious to Paisleys cold shoulder , hugging Grayson close .
This little guy was missing his dad and great grandfather so much .
He begged me to bring him .
What can I say ? I just cant say no to him .
Hes always been such a mamas boy .
Paisley let out a scoff , not even dignifying Marissas act with a response .
She kept walking , brushing past Marissa and Grayson without a glance .
Paisley .
Mommy.
Two voices called out behind her the same time .
One was Dominicks .
The other was Graysons Paisleys steps faltered , her heart skipping a beat despite herself .
Dominick turned to Grayson .
After four long years , his child had finally called out Mom again .
Marissas eyes filled with panic as she reached for Grayson .
Grayson , Im right here … But Grayson pulled away from her grasp with tears streaming down his face .
He ran forward a few steps before stopping just short of Paisley .
Mom His voice cracked .
Are you really going to leave me behind ?
