Chapter 206 Claire stopped in front of Dominick , blocking his path .
Mr.
Vanderbilt , its late , she said , her tone gentle .
Sonny mentioned you havent been feeling well lately .
I made this calming soup myself .
Please drink it and get some rest .
Dominick , barely holding back his irritation , replied curtly , Im leaving for a business trip .

I dont have time .
Claire was startled .
A trip ? At this hour ? You cant disregard your health like this ! Julian , who had been silent , finally snapped .
If it werent for you insisting on that ridiculous father son bonding activity , hed already be at his destination , resting I Claire faltered , clearly not expecting such a blunt retort .
I only suggested it for Sonnys sake , and Mr.
Vanderbilt agreed Already at his breaking point , Dominick interrupted , Ms.
Horn , your job is to take care of Sonny .
Dont worry about anyone else .
Without waiting for her response , he brushed past her , exuding an icy aura .
Julian gave Claire a sidelong glance , his expression disdainful , before quickly following Dominick .
Claire was left standing in the hallway , tray in hand , utterly perplexed .
Wasnt Dominick supposed to be nice to Sonnys family tutor ? Why was he so rude to her ? Meanwhile , at Paisleys house , she stepped out of the bathroom to find Serena already sound asleep .
Maria approached her with a warm cup of milk .
Thanks to Max Rena was so happy today .
Paisley nodded and sipped her milk .
I saw him earlier when I came back and thanked him already .
Maria suddenly pulled Paisley down onto the couch , her eyes sparkling with curiosity .
Paisy , be honest with me are you really planning to stay single forever ? Why are you asking me this all of a sudden ? Paisley replied , taking Marias question as casual chatter .
I just think you should consider finding someone .
Im not planning on it for now .
Come on , give it a thought .
Youre still so young .
You cant stay single forever .
Dont you ever miss having a man in your life ! Marias bluntness caught Paisley off guard , causing her to choke on her milk .
Maria ! Youre starting to sound like Emery ! They both thought Paisley should have a man in her life .
Maria raised an eyebrow .
Whats wrong with that ? Emerys right you know .
You cant live your whole life without a man by your side .
Look , Paisley said , shaking her head with a wry smile , if the right person comes along , then sure .
But for now , Im just aking things as they come .
14:23 Wed , Feb 12 Chapter 206 Maria sighed , feeling like her mother back in the days when she used to push her into marriage .
But she also understood .
that this wasnt something that could be forced .
Well , for what its worth , Maria said with a hint of regret , I think you and Max from next door would make a great pair .
Paisley understood now .
No wonder Maria had been taking so many photos of her and speaking so highly of Max today- she had been thinking about this all along .
Maria , dont say things like that .
Max came here to find his sister Once he finds her , hell go back to Montera .
Hes not staying in Harrowfell , and he definitely wont be coming with us to Brightmoor .
Hearing Paisley say this , and seeing that she had no interest in finding a man , Maria decided to drop the subject .
After a long day , Paisley felt dizzy , almost as if her brain had turned to mush .
She finished her milk and said to Maria , Ill be very busy for the next week .
I might even stay out overnight .
Im leaving Rena to you for this period .
If anything happens , just call me , or if you cant reach me , go to Lucy .
Maria took the empty milk cup with a concerned look .
Alright , got it .
But take care of yourself .
Dont overwork .
I Paisley smiled and nodded , teasing .
Dont you want to go back to Brightmoor soon ? Thats why I have to work overtime and get things done with the crew .
Once I finish all that , I can head back sooner .
Thats great ! Marias biggest wish right now was to go back to Brightmoor .
Sure enough , as Paisley had predicted , she was so busy over the next few days that she hardly had time to stay at home .
Due to scheduling conflicts with the cast , Paisley had to make some changes to the script .
She didnt want to leave such matters to others , so she handled it herself .
At a childrens restaurant in a mall , Serena looked listless , having not seen her mother for several days .
Maria noticed her mood .
Thats why she took Serena here after picking her up from kindergarten .
Maria , can I see Mom today ? Maria wasnt sure either , so she tried to comfort her .
Well call her after we finish eating Okay Serena nodded .
Rena ! Is that you ? A boys voice called out from the door .
Soon the boy ran over to Serena , confirming it was her , and exclaimed in delight , Its really you ! Serena looked up and realized it was Grayson .
Br Grayson , what are you doing here ? At first , Grayson was happy to hear Serena call him Brother Bushe didnt finish the word and changed it to Grayson instead He really wanted to tell Serena she could still call him Brother but because of his pride , he couldnt bring himself to say it .
Claire walked in , her expression full of disdain .
Sonny , what are you doing here ? You shouldnt be in places like this .
Youll get sick from the food
