Maisie wanted to sit up, but Nolan hurriedly supported her with a worried expression. “Zee, how are you feeling now?”Maisie looked at Nolan. The man had not slept for two nights, so his face looked a little exhausted while stubble was already starting to appear on his face.Although he looked a little disordered, it did not affect his appearance.“I’m feeling much better. I don’t feel any discomfort.” Maisie retracted her gaze. She sounded as if she had only fallen asleep.She then remembered something and asked, “By the way, my assessment results…”“You still care about your results?” Nolan frowned slightly and lowered his tone as if he was reprimanding a child. “Do your grades matter more than your life?“It seems that I have to punish those who organized the assessment. They’ve failed to implement good enough protective measures.”Seeing Nolan get up from his seat, Maisie stretched out her hand and grabbed the hem of his sleeve. “Sit down. You’re not allowed to leave.”Nola
Maisie could not come up with a reason that made sense, but she had a hunch that Wynona might have been framed. The person who had framed Wynona knew about her personal grievance with Wynona…When she was entranced by her own thoughts, she did not notice the person who appeared outside the door. “Maisie.”Maisie returned to her senses gradually and found out that it was Raven.Raven walked into the room uneasily, clasping the back of her right hand with her left palm. “Maisie, I’m glad to know that you’ve woken up. And I’m so sorry for what happened before this. I know that there’s no way that you’ll forgive me, and I don’t expect you to do so either. But I only want to apologize to you…“I know, I chose to believe in Wynona’s words instead of yours. That’s how I misunderstood you. I actually thought that you truly had never regarded me as a friend. But it was all my fault, I’m sorry. You must’ve been extremely disappointed that day, right?”‘I didn’t stand by Maisie’s side, nor d
“What were you thinking about?” Maisie lowered her gaze.The affection on Nolan’s face condensed at the bottom of his eyes, and the corners of his lips were lifted slightly. “I was thinking that when you’ve regained consciousness, I’ll chain you up to drag you to the town hall to marry you immediately, no matter whether your grades meet grandfather’s requirements or not.”He did not want to wait any longer. He wanted her to be his rightful wife, and he wanted to be able to write her name down in any column that asked him for the name of his spouse from now onward.Maisie did not expect that he would say this to her suddenly, but she knew that he was the person who had been taking care of her worrying about her for the past two days.‘If I were to really marry him…‘It’s not that it’s unacceptable.’However, something came to Maisie’s mind, and she pushed him away gently.Seeing that she lowered her gaze and remained quiet, Nolan asked in a muffled voice, “You don’t want to?”“I
After listening to what Nolan said about the Goldmanns’ history, Maisie was undoubtedly shocked and stupefied as if she had been told something extremely incredible.Nolan picked her up by her waist and placed her on his lap. “Zee, I’ve confessed everything to you now, so you should also know why my grandfather always brings Rowena along by his side and values her so much. This is all because Rowena’s grandparents were the ones who raised my grandfather.”Maisie pursed her lips and did not utter a single word.Nolan held her hand and placed it on his beating chest. “You have my word, as long as I’m still alive and well, I won’t let you suffer from any grievances, regardless if it comes from my grandfather, Rowena, or anyone else. Those people who make things difficult for you in the future can treat them as people who have offended me.“Even if it kills me.“I’m better off dead if I can’t keep my words to you or lose you.”Maisie stared in awe at Nolan, who was swearing to her wi
The wind blew lightly while Maisie’s words lingered in the air. Rowena’s expression froze. Women had a great sixth sense. She understood what Maisie meant—she was definitely not going to let go of Nolan. The woman had climbed all the way to her head and announced her authority there.“Ms. Summers, you don’t look well. Are you alright?” Maisie pretended to be oblivious. Rowena smiled like it was nothing. “If you appreciate your relationship with Nolan so much, I hope you cherish it.”“Don’t worry, Ms. Summers. I’m not going to let any other woman get a chance.”Any other woman included Rowena. Maisie walked past her. She felt satisfied when she saw her expression. Rowena’s face turned colder and went from bad to worse. This woman had been so lucky that even a snake couldn’t kill her. That was why Wynona, that useless woman, had lost to her but did she really think she could stop her from loving Nolan?Rowena took out her phone and sent a message: [Go look into the Vander
The reason that his little goddess kept pushing him away was that she was already with Mr. Goldmann and already had children. He had lost because he met her too late. At the black market’s Underground Freeway…A woman with red hair in fishnet stockings walked in the arms of a man out of the massage parlor. She didn’t forget to kiss him when she sent him away. “Lenny, come back soon. I’m going to miss you.”The red-haired woman was going back in when she saw a masked woman in unusual clothing walking over with two men.She looked at the woman’s mask and scoffed. “I’m sorry, we don’t take female customers. The two hunks behind you are fine, though.”The woman in the mask looked at the two men, and one of them pushed a thick stack of money into the red-haired woman’s hand and asked, “Is there a woman named Willow here?”The red-haired woman excitedly counted the money. It was $15,000. That was what she would make in half a year!Seeing that they were there to see Willow, the red
Maisie packed her bags and left the training camp. Nolan was already waiting downstairs in his car.Cherie came to send her off. She said while tugging her hand, “Maisie, can I go see you when I’m off for my break?”Maisie smiled. “Of course! You’re welcome anytime.”When she left the camp, she looked around the huge training field and turned to get into the car. Seeing her keeping her eyes on the view outside, Nolan played with her hair. “Don’t want to leave yet?”Maisie slowly turned to look at him. “Nolan, could you help me with something?”Nolan paused. That was the first time she asked him for help. “Sure. Tell me.”“Logan is an all-rounded talent, and she gave up on her assessment because of me. Could you see if you can—”“Do you want me to promote her?” Nolan squinted. Maisie always thought of others. Had she forgotten about the wound on her arm?Maisie crossed her arms and looked away. “How could I believe that you’re sincere if you can’t even do this?”Logan had exp
Maisie didn’t say anything. ‘Their Godfather Helios?’These two rascals were really good at flattery. Nolan walked to Mr. Cheshire, who nodded and said, “Mr. Goldmann, Elder Master Goldmann has been waiting for you for a few hours in the study.”“Alright.” Nolan nodded and said to him, “Bring the kids downstairs.”Maisie slowly stood up and let the three go and play. Nolan held her hand and walked into the villa.When the two walked into the study, Rowena was there along with Titus. Titus sat behind the desk. Maisie’s eyes turned cold without knowing why. “Grandpa, Maisie has completed the assessment and passed. So about our wedding—”“I stand firm on my rejection of your marriage!”Nolan’s face was ice cold. “You’re back-paddling?”“Yes, I’m back-paddling. You cannot be with this woman!” Titus’ attitude toward Maisie changed drastically. He was even firmer than he was before she went to the camp.Maisie didn’t know why he would reject her so strongly. She had complete
