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
Willow admitted all the things that she had done bluntly, and there was a hint of ridicule in her eyes. “Anyway, what can you do even if you get to know it now? Maisie, since I’m not living a good life, how can you live a better life than me?”‘I hate this! Why am I not Stephen Vanderbilt’s biological daughter, and why don’t I share the same luck and background as Maisie!?’“So, I’ll make sure you disappear from this world forever. No one will snatch anything from me or go against me ever again as soon as you disappear for good!”‘Anyway, my mother is already in jail, and I’ve lost everything. I don’t even have a home now, so what’s there to be afraid of?’Looking at that insane and morbid state that Willow was in, Maisie did not feel pity for her at all. Instead, she felt Willow was utterly pathetic. “Willow Vanderbilt, you really never reflect on yourself from your own perspective, huh?“Aren’t you the one who chose to tread down this path yourself?” Maisie asked her again.“Wh
Maisie glanced at Willow and smiled. “Rather than ask her for money, why not ask me? It’s just money.”The men hesitated. Willow’s expression changed. “Don’t trust her!”“Willow, why are you putting up a fight when you’re already in trouble?” Maisie got close to her ear and scoffed. “When I’m done with you, there’s no way they will be able to get the money from you anymore.”At that moment, the two guards were tossed in. A few bodyguards in black came in with weapons, and when the two men tried to run, they were tackled onto the floor and held down.Nolan slowly walked through the door like an angel descending from the heavens. The aura he emitted froze the entire area. His coldness subsided a little when he realized that Maisie was the one holding hostages. “Nolan, save me! Maisie has gone mad, she wants to kill me!” Willow started yelling the moment she saw Nolan. Nolan didn’t look at her, nor did he acknowledge her. He instead looked at the bodyguards. The men walked to Ma
