The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back (Paisley) novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Standing right behind Dominic, Marissa had overheard every word of the exchange between Dominick and Paisley.

As she watched Dominick’s fixation on Paisley’s daughter, the uncase in Marissa’s chest only grew more intense.

Why can’t you just disappear for good. Paisley? You’ve been gone for four years. Why did you come back now? Marissa silently cursed in her mind, her resentment boiling beneath her composed exterior.

But she knew it wasn’t the time to dwell on those thoughts.

Marissa shot a sharp glare at Stella and thought bitterly. This whole mess was the little brat’s fault! Can’t she figure out what to say and what not to say? She almost blew everything up!.

Steeling herself. Marissa adjusted her expression, softened her tone, and took Grayson’s hand as she quickly walked up to Dominick “Dom” she called gently and closely watched his reaction.

But Dominick d didn’t even glance her way. His gaze was locked in the direction where Paisley had driven off, his face dark with thought

Marissa’s face looked darker, but she pressed on. This whole situation is my fault. I didn’t explain things clearly to Stella, so she got the wrong idea.

“I was just trying to teach her to look out for Sonny, you know! After what happened before, I’ve been extra cautious about who gets close to him.”

Back when Grayson was still in preschool, a troubling incident had left its mark.

Still, she shifted gears, adding a humble note to her tone. “Anyway, today’s mess is on me and Stella”

Dominick finally tore his gaze away from the empty road and said in a heavy tone. “It’s not your fault. You were only protecting Sonny. If anyone’s at fault here, it’s Paisley. She’s the one failing as a mother.”

Marissa picked up Grayson, giving him a comforting squeeze as she murmured, “Dom, don’t be so harsh. I can understand Paisley. Not every mother loves their child the way you expect.”

Dominick’s expression darkened even further, his jaw tightening with barely restrained anger.

The thought grawed at him. Paisley, Grayson is your child too, yet you walked away without a second thought or an ounce of regret Grayson, but you love a child you have with another man. Paisley, you are heartless
