The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back (Paisley) novel Chapter 272

Soon, his hesitant voice came through. "Mom... Who was that I just saw next to you?"

Diana knew Paisley had already seen Nathaniel looking this rough, so she had no choice but to turn the phone toward Paisley.

Paisley waved at the screen. "Hey there, Prince Charming."

"Prince Charming" was Serena's nickname for Nathaniel.

Once again, the video feed seemed to have frozen.

Just as Paisley thought Nathaniel had actually lagged out this time, commotion broke out on his end. It sounded like he had jumped up from somewhere and was running in a hurry. "Mom, what the hell? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

Diana regretted it too. She had only called on a whim, thinking it would be a good chance for Nathaniel and Paisley to see each other. She didn't expect that Nathaniel would be such a mess.

"Hanging up now." Nathaniel ended the call himself.

Diana looked a little embarrassed as she turned to Paisley. "That kid... He cares too much about his image."

But after Diana laughed about it, a hint of sadness and concern appeared on Diana's face. "I've never seen him look like this before. Things at the factory must be rough."

"Why was Nathaniel sent to the factory? Didn't he just open a club?" asked Paisley.

That club was quite large. If managed well, it could secure a significant share of Harrowfell's high-end entertainment market.

Diana simply looked at Paisley and didn't continue the topic. "Here, have some coffee."

Paisley took the coffee Diana handed her and sipped it slowly, savoring the lingering fragrance. "Good coffee."

Paisley didn't ask further questions. Previously, she hadn't known much about the Beaumont family or Axion Enterprises.

It wasn't until this time, after Linna's investigation revealed that the Sullivan family had recently connected with the Beaumonts through unknown means, that she gained some understanding.

So far, the Beaumont family was still under the control of Byron.

With that thought, Diana softened her gaze toward Linna. "If you like them, I'll give them to you."

Linna waved her hands quickly. "No need. I wouldn't be able to take care of them. I just want to admire them."

Diana nodded and turned back to Paisley. "Paisy, my Nathaniel—"

"Oh, Paisley, this coffee smells amazing," Linna interrupted Diana again.

Having her words cut off repeatedly, and with Paisley not stopping or reprimanding the impulsive Linna, Diana—being the matriarch of the Beaumont family—could see that Linna and Paisley were working together on her.

When Diana looked at Paisley's ever-calm smile, she immediately understood that Paisley had no romantic feelings for Nathaniel at all.

However, Diana only felt disheartened for a moment before quickly recovering. 'Feelings could be cultivated,' she thought.

With that thought, Diana pulled herself together again. Just as she was about to say something, an abrupt and discordant voice rang out. "Paisley, why are you here?"
