Daisy’s eyes reddened, and she didn’t say anything. Colton hugged her to console her and stared at Titus. “We don’t want food from this woman.”To them, anyone who wanted to take their father away from their mother would be a bad woman.Even though Rowena was disappointed, she still looked gracious. “It’s alright, Grandpa, don’t blame the children.”This little girl would get what she deserved one day. Titus angrily slammed the table, his anger scaring everyone. “I’m not your grandpa nor your father. If they pampered you in the past, I’m going to change your bad attitude. Apologize to Aunt Rowena!”Colton and Daisy were obviously startled by his anger, but they were still stubborn and refused to apologize. Waylon angrily looked toward Titus. “We don’t need to apologize to her.”Mr. Cheshire almost had a heart attack when he heard that. How could this little child talk back to Titus?Titus was shocked. This child was extremely hostile, but he had to subdue these children.
Waylon was going to grow up into someone extraordinary. The smell of the spaghetti floated into his nostrils and made that old man hungry. Daisie noticed that and brought her plate over. With watery and innocent eyes, she said, “Great-grandpa, do you want some?”Titus paused. He had yelled at this child in the evening, but now she was willing to share her food?Titus still had to keep his pride, so he cleared his throat, turned his face away, and said, “Don’t think that I will forgive you just because you did this.”Daisie lowered her head and took her plate back, disappointed. “We know that you don’t love us.”The old man widened his eyes. “Who says I don’t love you—”“There’s some left in the pot if you want some. If not, it’s fine.” Waylon cut him off. Titus was rendered speechless. Had he grown too old? How could these three children walk over his ‘fierceness’?Forget it. There was no point arguing with children. Titus took a plate for himself. He wanted to try out Wa
She smiled and tried to get closer to him. “Waylon, didn’t you go out with your sister today?”Waylon coldly looked at her, and when he walked past her, he said in a disgusted tone, “Stop trying. Even if you try to put ideas in Great-grandpa’s head, you will never replace Mommy.”Rowena froze on the spot. She watched the little boy walk upstairs and was a little shocked. Putting aside the fierceness this little five-year-old had in his eyes, how would he know that she was putting ideas in Titus’ head?Her hands that were at her sides curled into fists. They were indeed from that woman’s womb—difficult, just like her!At that moment, she received a text from an unknown number. [Didn’t you say you were going to get me out of the Underground Freeway? I told you everything. When are you going to do what you promised?]Rowena knew immediately that the text was from Willow. Yes, she had forgotten that Willow was a ‘knife’ that she could use!…After Willow escaped with the help of a
Maisie knew that the three rugrats had no reason to lie, and she was fully aware that Rowena was a hypocrite. Since Titus trusted Rowena so much, it would be a piece of cake for her to sow discord between them. Before she could ask anything, Helios and his two assistants appeared outside of the door.Daisie rushed up to Helios and tugged at his hand. “Uncle Helios. Come and meet my mommy!”However, Helios had known about it a long time ago.He offered Daisie a smile and patted her head. He then looked at Maisie and asked, “I've kept you waiting, haven't I?”Maisie responded with a smile and said, “We just arrived not long ago as well.”After they took their seat, Daisie climbed into the seat beside Maisie. Her mother was all hers today, and she would help her brothers to eat their share. “I heard from Waylon that you've been taking care of both of them on the set, Mr. Boucher. I hope they didn't give you too much trouble.”Daisie puffed her cheek out and said, “I didn’t give
Maisie was stunned for a moment upon hearing what Helios had said. However, the scale soon dropped before her eyes, and she realized what he was talking about.Someone was hiding in the dark to take pictures of them.Therefore, she did not turn her head around. She walked to her car with Kennedy, and just as they expected, the scene of them parting ways was captured by the paparazzo in the dark. He looked at the few photos in his camera, licked his lips, and a triumphant smile crawled upon his lips. He was confident that these photos would cause a sensation across the town, and the editor-in-chief would praise him. When Maisie and Kennedy returned to Soul, she suddenly thought of something and said to Kennedy, “Uncle Kennedy, please keep an eye on the news for me these days.”“News? What for?”“Yes. When we parted ways with Helios, he warned me that there were paparazzi around. We were probably caught on camera.”Honestly, Maisie was not worried about what they would write abo
“Ouch, you’re hurting me, Nolan. Can’t you be more gentle!?”“I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful.”Rowena’s face turned dark. ‘How… How shameless of them to do that kind of thing in the office? Maisie, you truly are one seductive evil woman!’Driven by her rage, she pushed the door open, and then she was stunned. Maisie was sitting on the couch while Nolan was squatting in front of her, massaging her foot. Nolan turned his head to look at Rowena sternly and said, “Can't you knock?”Rowena’s expression changed, and she replied stiffly, “I’m sorry. I thought… I thought something happened here.”Maisie’s face turned red in embarrassment. ‘Thank goodness he didn’t do it for too long today. Or else, I might have to find a hole and bury myself in it.’“Even if something happened here, what has it got to do with you?” Nolan asked, his voice cold. “If you don’t have anything else, then get the hell out of here.”Rowena did not expect that Nolan would chase her away again. She bit her
Nolan frowned. He knew that Elder Master Goldmann would show up today. That was the reason he had informed the receptionist to tell Titus that he was not in the office. He did not expect him to come straight up to his office.Titus pushed the door to the office open. When he saw Nolan, he harrumphed. “Hmph! What now? Are you going to cut ties with your grandfather?”Nolan put his legs down, placed his phone on the table, and leaned back slightly. There was no expression on his face as he said, "You know I wouldn't do that." “You wouldn’t do that?” Titus’ face was dark, “You refuse to come home because of that woman, and now you're telling me that you wouldn't dare to do that?”Nolan harrumphed coldly. “If my memories serve me right, you’re the one who chased me out of the house. Since you want me to stay out of your face, what’s the point for me to go back?”“Nolan, you must have been bewitched by that woman. Did you see what that woman did? She took Daisie to meet up with the el
The atmosphere in the office was tense even after Elder Master Goldmann had left. Nolan pulled a packet of cigarettes out of his drawer. It had been a long time since he last smoked, but he did not know why he had an urge to smoke right now. He clasped the cigarette between his lips and lit it up with a lighter.He rose to his feet and walked up to the floor-to-ceiling window. He took a long drag and held the cigarette between his fingers.It went without saying that he hated those people who had killed his mother to the core. However, had it not been for his great-grandfather, his mother wouldn’t have gotten caught up in it.Even if the de Arma family was the main culprit, he knew that Maisie had nothing to do with them.He allowed himself to get drowned in his own memories while the cigarette continued to burn in between his fingers. He tapped ash into the ashtray, and he figured that he should keep this matter a secret from Maisie.…Rowena was splashing herself with cold wate
