The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back (Paisley)

Chapter

27

At Vanderbilt Manor, Dominick's mother, Lauren, slammed the phone down, her face clouded with frustration

What is Domanick thinking? He took Sonny to Rosemont Haven tonight. That place has been

empty for years. Why does he want to live there all of a sudden" Lauren complained with anger, pacing back and forth.

The more she thought about it the more uneasy she felt. Finally, she grabbed her coat, ready to storm out the door

"Where are you going?" asked Reginald, Dominick's father, his tone calm but curious.

I'm bringing Sonny back, Lauren stopped. "Sony's never suffered a day in his life, and today he was hit and humiliated at school. My heart breaks just thinking about it. I wanted to comfort him when he got hack, but your son drags him off to that godforsaken place." Grayson was Lauren's treasure, her pride and joy. No one, not even Dominick, was allowed to treat him poorly.

"Rosemont Haven is still maintained, and Lily's there. Sonny isn't going to suffer, Reginald said, his voice stearly. While he loved Grayson deeply. he didn't spoil him the way Lauren did

"No way, Lauren retorted, determined to leave, but Reginald stopped her with a firm look.

Reginald said. "Enough. Dominick knows what he's doing. He barely gets any one-on-

one time with Sonny because of work. Let them have this moment, okay?"

"Mom, Dad's right" chimed in Kayla.

"Let Dom try being a proper dad for once. I think Sonny's probably already forgotten what his dad looks like."

Lauren hesitated, but with two against one, she reluctantly sunk back into her seat. Though her heart still ached for Grayson, she couldn't deny that Reginald and Kayla had a point

"But how did this happen?" Lauren muttered, her frustration bubbling up again at the thought of her precious grandson getting hit at school. She never even scolded Grayson, and now some stranger dared to lay a hand on him.

She clenched her fists her temper rising. "I told you. Sonny shouldn't be in that school. There are plenty of elite academies in Harrowtell that would treat him like royalty."noveldrama

"Mom, this school's actually pretty great. Plus, Dom's on the board

of directors," Kayla explained, trying to smooth things over.

"That makes it even worse. The son of a board member gets hit? Who even has the audacity? Whenever Grayson was involved, Lauren's usual composure disappeared, replaced by a fierce protectiveness.

"Whose kid is it? That's totally rude. I won't let them get away with it!" Lauren's fiery declaration made everyone pause, and she turned her sharp gaze toward Marissa

Earlier. Marissa had started to explain but hadn't finished. When Lauren learned Grayson had been hit, she immediately

called Dominick However, Dominick didn't tell her anything about the case, only saying Sonny wouldn't be coming home that night.

Marissa handed Lauren a cup of water with a calming smile. "Lauren, have some water. Please don't worry. Sonny just got a little scratch on his neck. It's already been treated, I promise."

Lauren trusted Marissa, knowing she adored Grayson almost as much as she did. Since Marissa said it wasn't serious, it probably wasn't. But still, she couldn't let it go. "Whose child did it to my sweetheart!" Lauren knew everyone at the school was well aware of Grayson's identity. The few who'd tried to cozy up or cause trouble in the past had been swiftly dealt with. And now, no one would dare hurt Sonny. Marissa looked conflicted. She

opened her mouth several times to speak but stopped, leaving Lauren impatient and exasperated. Just

tell me, Mariwa. Whose kid was it?"

Lauren braced herself, expecting the name of someone powerful or influential. But the name she heard mude her freeze when Marissa finally answered, Taisley's daughter".

"Paisley?" Lauren's reaction was instant, her voice sharp as she slammed her cup down onto the table, "She's back? And she has a daughter!" "How old is that girl! And who's the father? Reginald asked, cuning straight to the point. Unlike Lauren's emotional outburst, his He wasn't jumping to conclusions, but his instincts told him there was a possibility. Maybe that girl was Dominick's child.
