“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
Rowena was shocked. How dare she go against Titus!Hah, she had fully angered him. That would be the end of her!“You!” Titus’ face looked dim. He was furious. “Get out, now!”Nolan held Maisie’s wrist, turned around, and coldly said, “The only woman that I will ever want to marry is Maisie.”Seeing him leave without even looking back, Titus was reminded of how his son Nicholas was as stubborn when he wanted to marry Natasha. His eyes darkened. Although his son had married Natasha, he had agreed to it even though he wasn’t happy about this daughter-in-law.This was different. Even if Maisie was a Vanderbilt, she had de Arma blood flowing in her veins! That woman would be the death of him!Rowena’s heart was frozen.She had been under the impression that by informing Titus about this, he would stop Nolan from being with Maisie, but…Nolan was willing to disobey his grandfather instead of giving up on that woman!“Grandpa, don’t worry. Ms. Vanderbilt’s children just tie Nolan
Blue Bay, a villa in a silk stocking district…Maisie looked at the row of red maples at the side of the road through the window. The red-colored leaves of the maple trees had added a touch of life to the buildings on the street. Mountains and water surrounded the wealthy district in Bassburgh. It was situated near the shore and had a comfortable environment. Not only that, but it had a good public transport network, so many wealthy businessmen or celebrities chose to stay there.She asked incredulously, “Nolan, what did you bring me here for?”However, Nolan did not reply. He continued to drive the car until they arrived at a 3,700-square-feet detached villa. The courtyard was filled with flowery plants and greenery. There was a clear pond with a soft stone path and a sheltered wooden pavilion on the bank.The two-story villa was painted in a warm yellow color. It had a simplistic design which gave off a classy and majestic vibe.Maisie came out of the car with Nolan, and she
