Chapter 10

Quinn woke in the early hours of the next morning. When she learned that Reagan planned to attend Emmanuel's funeral, she immediately flew into another rage. "Are you out of your mind? You killed Paige's dad, and you still expect her to forgive you? She'd be merciful not to stab you in revenge." Expressionless, Reagan fastened the buttons of his tailored black suit and replied evenly, "If the price for a lifetime of happiness is her stabbing me, I'll gladly pay for it then." A faint smile touched his lips. If he and Paige had a child, who would the baby take after? She was so gentle and patient. Of course, she would be a wonderful mom, whereas he would learn to be a responsible dad. Together, they could give their child a complete and happy home. Halfway through the funeral, Paige still hadn't appeared. Reagan sent her another message. He wasn't angry at her silence these past few days. Instead, he had more than enough patience now to coax her, to spoil her, and to wait for her.
