Hearing Grayson's question, Dominick suddenly felt scared. A rare wave of
unease gripped him, something he had never felt.

Before this, Paisley had always denied that Serena was his. She had even presented blood type evidence to

Paisley had been busy all day. It wasn't until late at night that she finally had tto check her phone, when she
noticed a message from Maria sent earlier that afternoon.
In the picture, under a blue sky with fluffy white clouds, Serena looked like a little pink rabbit, chasing a kite
[She looks so cute!] Paisley replied to Maria and then began gathering her things to head home,

Heading out she asked.
"Yeah. The man nodded. "I found snew leads about my sister. I'm going to check them out personally."
"Oh, | see. Then | won't keep you." Paisley instinctively took a step back, ready to leave, but Max's voice stopped
her, "It's fine. A few
minutes won't make a difference."
Paisley hesitated, then returned with a smile. "I just wanted to thank you for spending twith Rena today. |

“No need to thank me, Max smiled politely. "Oh, by the way, while | was flying the kite with Rena today, we ran
into someone. She called him a scary man, and Grayson's father."
