Chapter 39 Chapter 39 The strange sense of imbalance was eating him up inside , and his hands were practically tied in knots .
Not hungry , huh ? Paisleys voice was calm , almost indifferent .
She looked at Grayson with an expression to match , as if she couldnt care less whether he sat down to eat or not .
Grayson wanted to blurt out something defiant , like Im not hungry , and I wouldnt eat your food even if I were ! But before he could open his mouth , his stomach betrayed him with a loud ministakable growl .
Paisley shook her head and took his hand , gently leading him toward the bathroom .
Go wash your hands and come eat .
Paisley knew Grayson didnt like her , so she didnt try to maintain their relationship to have him accept her .

Since Dominick said it was her responsibility to take care of Grayson , shed comply with it for the two days .
Grayson let Paisley pull him along , and he glanced at their joined hands .
That strange pang of bitterness eased just a little .
And so , without protest , he washed his hands as demanded .
It had been a long time since Paisley had made a proper meal .
Ever since Maria had been around , she rarely had to cook .
Her skills were a bit rusty , but Serena didnt seem to care she started to dig in the moment she hit the table , Slow down .
Paisley said to her with a smile .
Youll choke if youre not careful .
She noticed Grayson hadnt touched his food and asked , Whats wrong ? Not to your taste ? Grayson pressed his lips together , refusing to answer .
Paisley sighed , her patience thinning .
Well , youll have to deal with it for two days .
Or you can call your dad and have him ask Marissa to come get you .
She knew Grayson adored Marissa .
Surely , she thought Marissa wouldnt mind taking him in .
To her surprise , Grayson picked up his fork and began shoveling food into his mouth without a word like Serena did .
Paisley blinked , caught off guard .
Whats with this kid ? she wondered .
But she decided not to dwell on it .
After all , she was only responsible for him for two days , and she didnt want to complicate things .
Meals at Paisleys house were all about balance .
Meat and vegetables were all carefully portioned out .
So when Paisley noticed Serena eating nothing but meat , she said , Rena , dont just eat the meat .
You need veggies to grow strong and healthy , okay ? Serena nodded obediently and plopped a piece of broccoli into her bowl .
Satisfied , Paisley glanced up just in time to see Grayson silently scooping a giant pile of greens onto his plate .
She raised her eyebrows but said nothing , a small smile tugging at her lips .
After dinner , Grayson sprawled on the coffee table to read a book while Serena played quietly in her toy corner .
The rare calinness in the house gave Paisley a chance to sit on the couch to continue reading her book .
It didnt take long for Grayson to finish his book .
He was smart reading a storybook was never much of a challenge .
Soon , he was sitting there with nothing to do .
21:58 Mon , Jan 27 Chapter 39 Paisley noticed and asked .
Done with that book ? Yeah , he muttereil , looking awkward .
What do you usually do around this time ? she asked .
Just play .
Grayson replied curtly .
Paisley arched her brows upon hearing that answer .
She knew Grayson had a huge playroom at his house , full of every kind of toy imaginable .
But the colorful , girly toys here , definitely not his style , were all Serenas .
Wanna read another book ? Paisley asked Grayson shot her a look of pure disdain .
What kind of books could you possibly have ? As if to prove his point , he glanced at the one in Paisleys hands and was surprised to see it was a book in French .
Wait … You can read French ? he blurted , standing up to snatch the book from Paisley .
After having a close look , he confirmed it .
It was indeed a French novel , thick and full of text he couldnt even decipher .
He had just started to learn French , and he barely knew a lot of words .
Paisley took the book back with a calm expression .
Yes , I can .
Before Grayson could process that , Serena piped up from her corner , all too happy to brag .
You know what ? My mom knows more than just French .
She can speak Portuguese , Spanish , and Italian too ! Graysons jaw practically hit the floor .
His head was spinning .
The woman he thought he knew this quiet , plain homemaker was suddenly someone completely unfamiliar .
Everything hed believed about her felt wrong .
