Selah and Vincent wished they had crossed paths sooner and enjoyed a hearty conversation about it.
Vincent, taken by Selahs charm, picked her as the lead for his upcoming film. Yet, with the movie still in its infancy and Selah recently stirring up the media, he opted to keep this choice under wraps until the moment felt right.
Moreover, Selah didnt hold back her compliments for Lindsey when chatting with Vincent. Learning that Lindsey was the one who helped Selah shake off Andrew and step back into showbiz, Vincents admiration for Lindsey only deepened.
I knew it. Ive always had an eye for talent. Lindsey is genuinely one of a kind. Paige, done tending to the balcony garden, walked in and caught the tail end of their exchange. She looked at Lindsey with a newfound softness in her eyes, then took a seat beside Vincent, Looping her arm through his. Ive got to say. Lindsey is much better than Jayleen. Ever since Jayleen took over at Vitality Entertainment, its been one letdown after another. And Kristy? Shes been nothing but trouble, riding on Jayleens coattails.
Vincent could only sigh in agreement.
Oh, by the way, Paige interjected, a sudden recollection lighting up her face. She turned to Lindsey and Selah with a warm smile.
Next weekend is our twentieth anniversary. Were throwing a dinner party at our place. You should come.
Vincent chimed in, grateful for Paiges reminder, Its the perfect occasion to welcome Selah back to our world.
In showbiz, an invite from Vincent and Paige was no small affair, and Lindsey knew better than to decline.
Selah, with a modest smile, expressed her gratitude, Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Lopez. Lindsey, and I wouldnt miss it.
Paige warmly invited Lindsey and Selah to have lunch at her home.
After the meal, Lindsey and Selah bid farewell to Paige and Vincent before departing.

Vincent returned to his sofa, engrossed in a magazine. Nearby, Paige sat, selecting an apple from a fruit tray. She began peeling it with care.

I really like Lindsey. At our dinner party next weekend, we should introduce her to our godson. Hes not getting any younger. Its high time he thought about marriage.
Vincent glanced at Paige through his reading glasses and said, Youre considering Lindsey as a match for Sumner? Would his father agree?
Paige scoffed dismissively. In all these years, his father has never dictated his life. Without being reminded, Id forget he even has a real dad.
Ah Sumner had it rough. He lost his mother when he was young, and even his father turned his back on him. If we hadnt taken Sumner in, I dread to think where hed be now. Thinking of the past, Vincent sighed.
Paige placed a slice of the peeled apple into Vincents mouth, her tone bitter. Theres not one decent person in the Lawson family.
Sumners right to stay away. Were all he needs.
Vincent looked at Paige, her anger palpable, and chose to remain silent.
Paige was usually so warm-hearted, but the mere mention of the Lawson family always set her off. She made her disdain for them clear whenever they crossed paths.
Her animosity stemmed from the past. Paiges best friend had suffered at the hands of the Lawson family, and they had disowned Sumner.
Over the years, Paiges grudge against them had only deepened.
If not for her friends ill-fated love for that heartless man, leading to Sumner bearing his fathers last name, Paige would have changed it herself.
