Nolan’s gaze landed on her computer’s monitor, which happened to be showing the video of Stephen's apology.He frowned and placed his hands on her shoulders.But when his fingertips touched her skin, she trembled from head to toe as if an electric current traveled through her body.The man stood behind her and kneaded her shoulders gently for her. Anyone would definitely suffer from a jaw-drop if they were to witness this scene.The exceptionally regal Mr. Goldmann would actually give someone else a massage?Nolan suddenly suggested indifferently, “Do you want me to accompany you back to the Vanderbilt manor for a meal?”“I’m sorry, but the Vanderbilts don’t welcome me. You should go to Willow if you’re looking for a free meal— Ugh!”‘It hurts! This dbag is actually giving it all he has!’Nolan leaned over and approached her ear. “I know that you’re jealous of Willow, but I’ve never taken the initiative to go back to the Vanderbilt manor with Willow before this. Judging solely
A glimmer of sulkiness flashed across Willow’s eyes.Willow’s face was pale. “Aunty, I know I’m inferior to my mother. You should also know that my mother died when I was very young. I—”“Alright.” There was a hint of impatience in Larissa’s eyes. "Just behave yourself and keep your nose clean in the future, don’t embarrass your mother. Your grandfather will definitely not like your over-compliant personality.“The women of the de Arma family always have to be tough. But judging from how you’re carrying yourself, you’ll never amount to anything.”“Understood,” Willow responded while clenching her fist.‘D*mn it, if it wasn’t for the identity and status that I’ll get from being the daughter of the de Armas, why would I stay here and take all this nonsense from her?’“You can go back now if there’s nothing else. I’m tired and need to get some rest already.” Larissa got up from the couch and went upstairs.Willow came out of the Lucas family's mansion with a solemn face. Madam Luca
Madam Vanderbilt was a little embarrassed, so she could only say, “Aren’t I a little too old to come to such a conclusion at one glance?”Madam Vanderbilt was puzzled too.‘This cheap girl is able to invite Mr. Goldmann home? Didn’t they say that Willie is the one who has a better relationship with Mr. Goldmann?’Linda's nervousness was different from what Madam Vanderbilt and Leila felt. She had been unable to take her eyes off Nolan ever since the moment she first saw him.‘This man is so handsome! He’s several times more good-looking than all the men that I’ve met before this.“Zee.” Stephen, who was walking downstairs, was slightly startled when he saw her. He thought she would never want to come back again.“I’ve brought Mr. Goldmann over for dinner. Is that okay?”Maisie looked at her father and was surprised to find that he seemed to look a lot more haggard than before. She could even see his gray hair, which was not so discernible before. Madam Vanderbilt hurriedly ste
Madam Vanderbilt asked, “Mr. Goldmann, what is your relationship with Zee?” Nolan replied nonchalantly, “Zee is my fiancée. What’s the matter?”‘Fiancée!?’ Madam Vanderbilt was astounded. ‘I didn’t expect this cheap sl*t to be the person who really has her head in the game! She’s actually managed to become Mr. Goldmann’s woman!’“Zee, why didn’t you tell your family that you’re engaged to Mr. Goldmann?”Maisie scoffed inwardly. “I don’t want to be bothered.” ‘If it wasn’t for Nolan’s identity, why would she act like this? To put it bluntly, isn’t the only thing that she has her eyes on Nolan’s identity and status?’“Then when will you marry me?”Maisie almost choked due to Nolan’s sudden proposal. She then turned her head to look at him. ‘Do you have a death wish? I’m just playing along.’“Zee, indeed, you’re no longer young anymore. It’s time for you to get married too. Since Mr. Goldmann loves you so much, what are you waiting for?”‘Judging solely from Mr. Goldmann’s fami
After dinner, Madam Vanderbilt suggested that Nolan and Maisie should stay in the Vanderbilt manor for one night.Maisie wanted to refuse, but Nolan agreed to do so.Madam Vanderbilt was very pleased to see that Nolan was willing to stay. “Mr. Goldman, please let me know at any time if you have any needs. Treat this as your own home.”Seeing that Nolan was ignoring her, the old lady smiled awkwardly.Maisie wanted to say something, but Nolan looked at her and said, “I want to take a look at your former room.”‘My former room?’Maisie was flustered. She had left Vanderbilt manor for six years and had indeed never come back to stay here since then.Stephen opened his lips and said slowly, “Zee’s room has not been touched, so I’ll arrange for someone to clean it up now.”Later on, Maisie arrived at the room she had been living in in the past. The room layout was still the same as before, and many items and furniture had not been moved.It was just that the bed in the room looked
“Nolan doesn’t have pajamas, so I’m here to ask if you have any that fit him.”Stephen smiled. “I just bought one pair some time ago, and I haven’t worn it. I’ll get it for you.”Stephen brought Maisie the new pair of pajamas.When Maisie turned around and was about to leave, Stephen walked out of the room. “Zee.”Maisie turned her head. “What’s the matter?”“It is I who mistreated you.”“…It’s okay, Dad.” Maisie looked down, turned around, and walked toward the room without looking at Stephen’s pale expression.Stephen felt extremely heavy-hearted. Even though he knew that his daughter had yet to forgive him, he was content that she still called him “Dad”.Maisie, who was walking back to the room, saw a woman standing outside the door of her room all of a sudden. It was Linda.She did not know what Linda was saying to Nolan, but it could be seen that she was giving off a bashful and happy expression. She acted extremely cautiously in front of him, but the tiny hint of joy on
Nolan was not planning on making the next move, but he only wanted to go to sleep with her in his arms. “Sleep.”Sensing the man’s even breathing behind her, Maisie relaxed gradually and felt drowsiness taking over her soon.…Maisie and Nolan went downstairs together. Stephen had already prepared breakfast personally. He smiled at the sight of Maisie and Nolan’s arrival. “You’re up. Have some breakfast before you head back.”Maisie made her way to a seat and sat down in front of the table just in time to see the all dressed-up Linda coming downstairs with Madam Vanderbilt. “Zee, did both of you sleep well last night?”Maisie humored Madam Vanderbilt’s enthusiastic inquiry by saying, “Hmm, we slept well.”Madam Vanderbilt cast a look at Linda, who then made her way to Maisie smilingly. “Maisie, may I sit here?”Maisie said, “As you wish.”She pulled out the chair and sat right next to Maisie. Linda said in a friendly yet reserved tone, “Maisie, I’ve only come to the royal c
Madam Vanderbilt blushed in embarrassment and almost turned against Maisie right there and then. On the other hand, Linda felt very uneasy in her heart after hearing that. However, she forced herself to agree with Maisie so she could get closer to Nola. “Maisie, I… I’m really bad at work. I hope that you and your fiance won’t reject me by then.”If one were to describe Willow as a hypocrite, Linda was the real temptress.Maisie smiled and said, “I’ll be stern.”Linda was rendered speechless.Nolan could not help smirking at the sight of Maisie and Linda at loggerheads. It was truly adorable to see his sweet wife determined to scheme against someone. …Linda arrived at the Blackgold Group as she wished. She could not help feeling excited in her heart upon seeing the bustling company. She did not expect Nolan’s company to be so huge. Nolan had truly lived up to his reputation of being an influential, powerful person in the royal capital of Bassburgh. ‘Hmph! As long as I’m wi
