‘All these hidden dangers seem to revolve around one person—Maisie. It’s as if these incidents were all directed at her.’Nolan called Quincy again on his cell phone. “Get your *ss back here.”Quincy froze. “But Elder Master Goldmann said—”Nolan’s gaze turned gloomy. “He won’t know a thing. I need you to come back and investigate something.”It was only after reading the news update that Maisie learned that Waylon and Daisie had run into an accident when they were filming a commercial.She had been supervising the renovation at Vaenna, so she rushed to the hospital from the company.Seeing that the two children were staying in the ward with Helios, she was slightly relieved.“Mommy!” Daisie dashed and hugged her.Maisie saw that her eyes were bloodshot as if she had cried and felt tormented. “Daisie, did you and Waylon get frightened?”“It was Angela who saved me.” Daisie pouted after she finished speaking. “Did I hurt Angela?”Maisie stopped talking for a split second as he
Seeing that the kid had the guts to glare at her, Rowena tightened the fist that was placed behind her back. She looked in the direction of the old man as if she was hoping that he could show his support toward her.Although Titus’ expression did not look too gleeful, he did not lose his head because the boy talked back to him after all.Helios could already see Titus’ dissatisfaction with Maisie in just a few minutes.There was a faint smile hanging on his lips. “I can understand why Elder Master Goldmann doesn’t like the entertainment industry, but since these two children have made this decision, you can’t just deem that the choice they made was based on the instigation of others. The children have their own thoughts too, don’t they?”A gleam of slyness flashed across Rowena’s eyes upon seeing that Helios was speaking up for Maisie.‘Heh, this woman is really capable. Not only has she hooked up with Nolan, but she also has quite a good relationship with Helios!’She smirked an
Maisie glanced at Nolan, who had been left out on the opposite side of the dining table and looked all sullen and jealous. She kindly fetched a piece of meat and placed it on his plate. “Good boy, we still love you.”Nolan was rendered speechless.‘This sounds inexplicably familiar.’Daisie scooped a large spoonful of mashed potatoes and looked at Nolan with her glowing eyes. “Daddy, Uncle Helios said today that Grandma is also from the entertainment industry. Why haven’t we met Grandma?”Daisie had just finished asking, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became a little strange all of a sudden.Maisie lowered her eyelids.‘He probably doesn’t want to talk about his mother.’But what she did not expect was that Nolan still answered Daisie’s question, “Yes, but your grandma is no longer here.”The three rugrats were dumbfounded.That could mean two things—one was that she was not staying here with them, and the other was that she was no longer with them in this world.Mais
“But if we were to get married out of the blue, would your grandfather…”‘Be pissed to death?’Before Maisie could finish speaking, Nolan pushed her down and wrapped his big arm on her slender waist.His lips were concave upward and gave off a smile. “So, we have to give him a fourth great-grandchild as soon as possible, preferably three more, so that the old man will be occupied with all the children and can’t find fault with you.”“Umm—” When the conversation was about to get a little more sentimental, she suddenly embraced him tightly, and this hug became the catalyst that crushed his rationality.The next morning…When Nolan woke up, he looked at the woman who was sleeping soundly in his arms and could not help raise his hand and pinch her tiny nose. “Baby, get up.”His voice sounded melodious, and with the usage of “baby”, Maisie, who had awakened, could not even lose her head over his choice of words.“No, I want to sleep for a little longer…” she murmured.The gloom in
Nolan turned his head to look at Maisie and saw her stiff and upright posture as if she was in military training. He could not help but burst into laughter.But this scene was photographed, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the smile was overflowing with affection.After taking a few photos, Nolan still picked the first picture when he was choosing which one to keep.After leaving the city hall, Maisie laughed out of anger when she saw the photo that he had chosen. “You actually chose this one!? I look so ugly in this one!”Nolan rubbed her head. “You don’t look ugly but very cute instead.”Maisie indeed did not look unsightly. Otherwise, she would not have surprised him with her appearance when they first met. However, after getting along with her for a longer time, he realized that even the most breathtaking woman could have such a sweet side.‘She can sometimes be so silly that she looks adorable.’Maisie pouted.‘This man’s appearance is really divine! He look
Meryl gulped her saliva when she heard the phrases “promotion” and “raise”. She became rather excited. “Really… Really?”“I won’t lie to you. You’ll get it as long as you want it.” Rowena’s glamorous eyes looked sincere, and there was still a smile on her face.Meryl nodded nervously. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”Being able to work in a big company like the Blackgold Group, the benefits and salary that she got were already very good. A promotion and an increment were something that Meryl could only think of in her dreams!When Meryl left, the smile on Rowena’s face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a hint of ruthlessness.She picked up her cell phone expressionlessly and sent a message.[Stone, help me to get rid of someone. I’ll send you the details later. The sooner, the better.]At Soul Jewelry Studio…“Zee, Vaenna’s renovation might have to be delayed for another week,” Kennedy reported the renovation’s progress to Maisie.Maisie did not feel very anxious an
‘Coupled with the grudges between the de Armas and the Goldmanns, it’s even more impossible for me to acknowledge the de Armas so casually.’Titus’ expression looked a little surprised upon seeing that Maisie had taken a firm stand. However, it soon disappeared.He then said solemnly after a long time, “You better remember what you’ve said today. Otherwise, I won’t let you go even if it means that my grandson will hate me for the rest of my life.”Maisie was startled.‘Is he saying that he’s changed his mind?’She smiled and replied, “I’ll remember it.”Mr. Cheshire sent Maisie to the door. He was happy for Maisie and Nolan when he heard that Titus had acquiesced in their marriage.“How are the kids doing recently?” Mr. Cheshire asked.Maisie gave off a smile. “They’re doing very well.”Mr. Cheshire then explained earnestly, “Actually, Elder Master Goldmann likes the three kids very much. It’s just that he doesn’t know how to get along with them.“After all, Elder Master Gold
“Where’s my grandfather?”“Elder Master Goldmann just went to bed for a nap,” Mr. Cheshire replied.“What about Maisie? Didn’t my grandfather summon her over?”Seeing that Nolan was anxious about this matter, Mr. Cheshire grinned. “Elder Master Goldmann did summon Ms. Vanderbilt back here, but don’t worry, he didn’t make things difficult for her. Instead, he took a step backward and agreed to your marriage.”A hint of surprise flashed across Nolan’s eyes. He then thought of something and asked in an indifferent tone, “Did he name any condition?”‘Judging from Grandpa’s temperament, he must have agreed with our marriage only after some compromises were made.’Mr. Cheshire nodded. “Elder Master Goldmann agreed only after seeing Ms. Vanderbilt’s firm stand in the Goldmanns’ position. He was afraid that the de Armas would use Ms. Vanderbilt to deal with you.“Ms. Vanderbilt promised that she wouldn’t let the de Armas succeed in doing so, and Elder Master Goldmann asked her to promis
