Chapter 447

Chapter 447 Gifts After Alice left, Lamont said to Paige, “Ignore her. If you don’t want to see her. I’ll fire her.”

Amily was stunned. She didn’t expect Lamont to be so protective of Paige as soon as he returned home…

Then how would Patricia feel?

Patricia was also a little confused. When Alice praised her just now, it hadn’t occurred to her that this kind of praise would hurt Paige…

But Lamont’s words frustrated her as if only Paige’s feelings mattered.

Was Patricia not worthy of being praised?

Paige looked at Lamont. She did not expect that the sloppy Lamont would actually see through Alice’s thoughts and directly point them out.

It seemed that Lamont was perceptive.

“All of you, listen up.”

The domestic workers standing around him immediately perked up and listened attentively.

“The two young ladies of this family must be treated equally. If any of you flatters one and slights the other or sows discord between them, it won’t be as simple as getting fired, understand?”

“Yes, Mr. Lamont.” The domestic workers bowed in unison, not daring to disobey Lamont.

“All of you may leave.” After they left, Lamont said to Paige, “I can finally have some quiet. Let’s enjoy our meal.”

He picked up some food first for Paige and then for Patricia. “You did very well just now. When I criticized Alice, it wasn’t because I was mad at you.”

Patricia was originally dejected. When she heard this, she was slightly moved. Lamont cared about her feelings… It seemed that she mattered to him.

“We are a family. Don’t become chess pieces of others. Eat.” Donald and Danica looked at each other and suddenly found that their son had grown up and was thinking about everything…

After the meal.

Lamont pulled the corner of Paige’s clothes. “Come with me. I have a gift for you.”

Danica wondered what kind of gift an insensitive man like Lamont had prepared for Paige. Why didn’t he take it out but kept it in the car?

When Lamont opened the trunk of the long luxury car, a large pile of pink balloons floated out…

“I pumped every balloon. Aren’t they nice?”

He saw someone doing this on the Internet, so he silently noted it down and wanted to give Paige a surprise…

“It’s so romantic…” Donald was surprised that Lamont had such a romantic side. How did he manage to keep so many balloons in the trunk? It was beautiful. Patricia looked at the balloons flying into the sky with envy. She suddenly felt that Paige was so lucky. Lamont had never prepared such a surprise for her before…

“Welcome home!” was written on each balloon. Needless to say, such bad handwriting must come from Lamont.

“Your suffering and unhappiness are over. Stay with us from now on.” Lamont patted Paige’s head.

“We’ll all take good care of you.”

When all the balloons flew out of the trunk, the star lights inside were still flashing with dreamy light, and there were words saying “Welcome home, Paige.”

More gifts were piled below the words. Lamont took a gift and gave it to Patricia.

“This is for you.”

“Thank you, Lamont.”

“The rest is for Paige.” Lamont picked up more than ten gifts. “Don’t be jealous. I gave you a lot before.”

Patricia could not help but laugh. “Lamont, you make me seem very petty…”

“How can it be? My two sisters are not petty at all!” Then, with the gifts in his arms, Lamont said to Paige, “I’ll take these to your room.”

“Lamont, there are too many…” The pile of gifts was almost taller than his nose.

“You are now 18 years old. There are exactly 18 gifts here. I’ll prepare other gifts for you on your birthday.” Lamont smiled at her and continued, “You lead the way. If there’s anything you like, let me know. I’ll buy it for you at anytime.”

“Thank you, Lamont.”

“Silly girl, don’t be a stranger. You can open these gifts in your room later. If you see something you don’t like, just throw it away. You don’t have to keep it. I gave you gifts to make you happy. If you are happy, then I’ll be happy.”

Seeing that her son was so considerate, Danica grinned from ear to ear. No wonder he kept the gifts in the car. It was indeed inconvenient to move so many gifts…

After the children left, Donald could not help but ask, “Honey, aren’t the gifts we prepared for Paige too common? There is no surprise or romance.”

“How can we compare to young people? They have creative ideas… We can only wait for Paige’s birthday to prepare a big surprise for her.”

“We must be well-prepared next time…” Donald felt that his son’s surprise surpassed his. He had to think about what to give Paige next time…

Lamont carried the gifts to the door of Paige’s room and asked, “Can I go in?”

“Sure.” Paige wasn’t coy at all.

“Can I put the gifts here? In this way, you can sit down and open them.” With Paige’s consent, Lamont put the gifts on her coffee table. Then he took out a bank card and handed it over. “This is the pocket money I give you. Take it to buy what you like.”

Paige had been thinking that there was finally a brother who did not give her a bank card.

Unexpectedly…

“Lamont, I don’t need it. Take it back.”

“Take it. I want you to have it.” Lamont put the card into her hand. “I don’t know what girls like. If I bought the wrong things, you can buy what you like for yourself. Or you can tell me what you want. I’ll buy it for you. You can buy whatever you like with the card. If you don’t have enough money, I’ll transfer some for you.”

“No need, Lamont…”

“You must accept it. You can’t refuse. Do you hear me?” Lamont insisted that she take the card. Seeing that there was no one else around, he asked, “Who taught you how to hack?”

Paige briefly told him about the senior gentlemen. Lamont was very surprised.

“Someone took you into the industry and you could reach this level. You are very capable and talented.”

At least she was more talented than him.

“Lamont, you were self-taught. You are more amazing.”

“Come on. I don’t even know how to crack a firewall…

Lamont felt he couldn’t compare to Paige…

“In fact, you just need to…” Paige stood on tiptoe and whispered something in Lamont’s ear.

Lamont suddenly understood. He couldn’t force it. He could only find the flaws…

He did not expect Paige to tell him the flaws. It proved that Paige’s hacking skills were really above his…
