The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back by Juliette Vaughan

Chapter 42

After lunch, Paisley was about to take Serena to the park. She walked over to the guest room and knocked on the door. "Rena and I are heading to the park. Are you coming with us?"

Grayson had locked himself in his room the whole morning. He'd gone out only once to use the bathroom but had otherwise stayed shut up inside.

Serena even sneaked him some water earlier, thinking Paisley didn't see, but she did.

Paisley had assumed Grayson would still be sulking and wouldn't want to go. If he didn't, she figured Serena would have to skip the outing too. After all, Paisley couldn't leave a seven-year-old home alone. Just as she was about to tell Serena they'd go later, the door to the guest room opened. Grayson stepped out, fully dressed and standing in the doorway. "Okay, let's go."

Paisley answered, "Alright, let's go. Put on your shoes."

Seeing that Paisley didn't say anything more, Grayson let out a quiet sigh of relief, but then his expression grew dim.

He couldn't help thinking to himself, 'Why isn't she scolding me? I didn't eat breakfast, wasted food, threw

a tantrum, and slammed the door... But she's not even saying anything? She used to always say something when I acted like this..."

As Paisley focused on gently helping Serena sort her shoes, Grayson hung his head, quietly putting on his own shoes. However, he felt off in his heart like something was wrong, but he couldn't quite figure out what.

The park they were going to wasn't far-it was a community park in the area. It had a man-made lake surrounded by lush greenery, rocks, and trees, where people could row boats. There were also fitness areas and a children's play zone.

After playing for a while, Paisley found a spot near some fake rocks to sit down and rest. The two kids ran around and played freely within her sight.

Hidden in the background, two bodyguards kept an eye on them. On the other end of their radio, Dominick was on the line. "Mr. Vanderbilt, Ms. Sutton is at the park with Grayson and her daughter." Even though Dominick wasn't around the past two days, he'd made sure to keep a couple of guys watching over Paisley.
