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
Nolan turned his head to look at her, and then he was dumbfounded. Maisie was wearing his white shirt that could barely cover her thighs. Her long hair cascaded down her back, and the loose sleeves completely covered her hands. She left her collar marginally opened, giving Nolan a chance to take a glimpse at the view within.He knew she was a mischievous little darling, but he did not expect the sight of her wearing his shirt would be such an intense torment to him.“Is the dinner ready, Nolan? I’m hungry,” Maisie said. She flung the sleeves weakly as she walked up to the table to get some water.Nolan clicked his tongue and turned the heat lower. He approached Maisie and secured her in his embrace. Lifting his brows, he asked, “You’re hungry again?”Maisie’s hand that was holding the glass trembled.It was only when her stomach growled that Nolan chuckled and tousled her hair. “I’m just joking with you. The dinner is ready.”Nolan brought their dinner to the table. He had prep
“Since Nolan wants no one but you, I hope that no matter what happens, you will stay by his side forever.”Maisie was stunned. She did not know why but she had a feeling that Mr. Goldmann Sr. was entrusting his son's future to her. She forced herself to smile and replied, “Don’t worry, Mr. Goldmann, I…” She took a look at Nolan, who sat “quietly and obediently” beside her before continuing. “I won’t leave him alone.”Nolan lifted his eyebrows slightly. Considering the fact that his father was so worried about the things between him and Maisie, he figured that he should treat him better next time.Nicholas nodded in satisfaction and replied, “Good, good, good. I’ll take care of his grandfather. As for you guys, just take your time and enjoy your life. I’m sure that his grandfather will accept you as well one day.”After they had finished speaking, Maisie gave the phone back to Nolan.Grinning like a Chesire cat, Nolan pulled her into his arms and said, “Did you hear that? My dad
Maisie finally saw the light right now. It was no wonder that no matter how much she earned, her three kids still said it wasn't enough.She was truly poor in comparison to a capitalist!Suddenly, Nolan’s phone rang. He pulled his phone out, and the person who called him was none other than his grandfather.He did not walk away to answer the phone. Instead, he picked up the phone in front of Maisie and said, “Yes?”Titus seemed to have said something, and his face turned grim. Nolan snorted coldly and replied, “Hah, so you're even meddling with people around me now? Where’s Quincy?”Titus replied, “I've sent Quincy on a field trip. What's the matter? Is Rowena not capable enough to fill in his place?”Nolan frowned slightly after he heard what Titus said.Titus had transferred Quincy away from him and arranged for Rowena to be his assistant. It seemed that Titus wanted to give Rowena a chance, and he did not like it at all. “Blackgold Group isn’t the Night Banquet. You don’t h
Larissa sat on the couch. She looked at Maisie and said, “Have a seat. You want to ask about your mother, right?”Maisie took the seat in front of Larissa after she got her permission. She indeed wanted to know more about her mother, so she nodded.“Marina is my biological sister, and I have to say, you look a lot like her,” Larissa said as she laughed at herself. If she had met Maisie earlier, perhaps she would not have believed Willow and even really thought Maisie was that kind of person.As if she thought of something, she asked again, “Did your mother tell you why she came to Zlokova?”Maisie shook her head.Larissa was confused when she saw Maisie shake her head. “She didn’t tell me either. Honestly, had it not been for Willow’s bracelet, I wouldn’t have known that she had come to Zlokova.”“You didn’t know either?” Maisie was stunned. ‘Even Larissa doesn't know why my mother came all the way to Zlokova to escape from the de Arma family?’“You don’t have to be so surprised
“But Maisie, I can only remind you that your life will be in danger at any time if you continue to stay with Nolan. Not because of anything, but because of the Goldmanns’ special bloodline.”…Ryleigh sat in the living room drinking fresh milk and waited for about 20 minutes, not knowing what her Aunt Larissa would say to Zee.Just as she took a sip of milk, she noticed a dark silhouette approaching. When she looked up, the corners of her curved lips sank instantly.The tall man looked at her condescendingly. “It’s you?”The man gave off a hint of disgust through his slanted eyes when he saw that there were still white milk stains on her lips.He thought that his mother was about to introduce some random woman to him back at home again, and that idea really scared him for good.“What makes you think that I want to come to your house? If it weren’t for Zee, I—” Ryleigh was about to say something when she heard footsteps coming downstairs. Soon, she saw Maisie’s figure, so she put
Ryleigh was stunned for a split second. It was obvious that Maisie’s issue completely overwhelmed her. “Okay, I really can’t understand it.”Maisie placed her hand on Ryleigh's shoulder and said with an intoxicating smile, “Ryleigh, I realize that you’re my only best friend. You didn’t give up on me, no matter how pretentious I was or how others framed me. I don’t know what I would’ve done if you hadn’t helped me back then.”Ryleigh looked bewildered. “Are you drunk?”“Just how annoying can you be? Do I look like I’m drunk? I’m just feeling a little emotional.” Maisie placed her arms on Ryleigh’s shoulders. “I sometimes envy you. You have a father who’s always been protecting you so well since you were a little girl that he has raised you into such an innocent woman. Not to mention that no one would cause you any trouble for no reason. It’s actually quite nice to be able to be a carefree young lady.”‘At least, she won’t come across the problems that I face.’“Since when did you s
Rowena’s makeup looked very light and elegant today, and her dress looked grand. “Didn’t Nolan tell you anything?”Maisie paused for a split second. “What should he tell me about?”Rowena looked at her and explained, “I’m now Nolan’s assistant. Eh? Didn’t Nolan tell you about this?”Maisie chuckled and crossed her arms. “Oh, it turns out to be about this. I thought you were about to bring up a big deal.”‘She’s here to show off the second she becomes Nolan’s assistant?’“Ms. Vanderbilt, please don’t misunderstand us. After all, this is Grandpa’s arrangement. Grandpa wants me to learn more from Nolan, so I guess you wouldn’t mind this, right?” She mentioned the old man only to make it clear to Maisie that she was the person that Titus valued the most.‘As long as Grandpa still stands by my side, there’s no way that you’re taking a step into the Goldmanns!’Not knowing what Rowena was expecting from her, Maisie gave off a brilliant smile. “Why would I misunderstand the both of you
