Nolan stroked her face. The things that Willow had confessed proved that his previous speculation was correct.His grandfather had learned of the relationship between Maisie and the de Arma family as soon as Maisie returned from the training camp. Both his father and he had done a lot to keep this secret hidden. Even Stephen and the others didn't know a single thing about it, other than Willow, who had tried to replace Maisie as the descendant of the de Arma family.With that thought in mind, Nolan looked at her and said, “I'll send Cherie to you starting from tomorrow, just in case. You can ask her to help you with anything. As for the kids, they should be fine with my father and grandfather looking over them. The only person I'm worried about is you.”A surge of warmth spread through Maisie’s heart. She could see that Nolan was truly worried about her.She grabbed his hand and put it near her face. While Nolan was slightly taken aback, she giggled and said, “As long as you’re wit
Hernandez snorted and asked, “Why can't I look for him? I'm his great-grandfather.”Louis set his jaw tight and did not say anything. Although his mother had told his grandfather that she had found his aunt's daughter, all of them had been under the impression it was Willow.However, they later found out that his aunt's daughter was Maisie, but she had married Nolan at that time. Also, he did not know how his grandfather had realized that Colton was Maisie’s son.Blinking his eyes, Colton asked, “You’re my great-grandfather?”Hernandez looked at him and replied, “I’m your mother’s grandfather, so of course, I’m your great-grandfather.”Colton frowned and said, “But my mom has never told us about you.”“I’m sorry, ma’am. This restaurant has been booked, you can't go in—”“Get out of my way.”Maisie pushed the waiter away. She was worried about Colton, so she had decided to throw caution to the wind.Just when Hernandez’s bodyguards were about to approach her, Colton saw her and
Maisie did not even jitter for a split second. “I believe in Nolan.”When Maisie was bringing Colton away, she thought of something, turned around, and said, “I know about Nolan’s mother. I won’t be able to forgive the de Armas if you really did such a thing.”Maisie left with Colton after saying that.Sitting in his seat, Louis looked expressionless. He said while glancing at Hernandez’s face that looked a little embarrassed, “Grandpa, if there’s nothing else that needs my attention, I’ll go back first.”“Did you text her to inform her?” Hernandez asked coldly.Louis nodded. “Yes, I didn’t know your intentions when you were searching for that child. Not to mention that Mother has said that we should keep the past in the past. Why are you still so obsessed with it?”Hernandez slammed the table and reprimanded angrily, “The Goldmanns should never be kept in the past. All of them deserve to die!”Louis could see that Hernandez could not let go of his prejudice against the Goldmann
Maisie met his smiling eyes and played along. “Since my husband wants to stay for dinner, then we’ll just stay back for a meal.”The three rugrats could not help but feel bothered.‘Eww, that’s disgusting!’During dinner, the maid stood by them and served the dishes.Nolan had never come back for dinner ever since he moved out, so tonight was the first time he came back for a meal.The three rascals sat beside their parents and gobbled up their food as if a three Michelin-starred restaurant chef had prepared the dinner.Titus could see that the kids had not been so diligent while eating their food during normal days.‘Sure enough, they’re very happy when their parents are around.’“Ahem, since you’ve come back, you should just move back in,” Titus suggested.Nolan raised his eyes and then said lightly, “It’s inconvenient, as we’re planning to conceive another child.”Maisie’s hands trembled, and she stared at him in surprise.Not to mention her, even Titus was surprised. “Yo
“Yeah, this little fella digs holes in the dirt of the flowerbed outside every day, making himself dirty. Hence, I can only give him a bath every three or five times.”“Woof!” Reddy stuck out its tongue and wagged its tail, staring at Maisie with its brown eyes as if it liked her very much.Stephen put down his teacup and said, “This fella was abandoned by its original owner. I saw it wandering on the road pitifully and brought it back.“I brought it to the veterinary hospital for a checkup, and this little fella is in good health apart from some gastrointestinal discomfort, not any skin diseases. The original owner probably abandoned it because they couldn’t keep it.”Maisie rubbed the fur on its head.‘No wonder kids like it. This furry little cutie is really addicting.’“Zee, what brought you here all of a sudden?”Maisie put the dog down, walked up to the couch, and sat down. “The renovation of Vaenna is almost done, so I’m here to ask you. If you’re still willing to take
Maisie smiled awkwardly.‘This girl is so simple-minded that she’s adorable.’At this time, a female staff member knocked on the door in a panic, came in, and reported, “Ms. Zora, a menacing couple is creating a stir outside, looking for you!”“Looking for me?” Maisie was flustered, then got up and followed her out to take a look, while Cherie followed behind them.“Get the one who’s in charge of this place out here, did you hear me!?” The woman and man clamoring outside were both in their 40s and 50s, respectively. Although they did not look filthy rich, they seemed well-off.Maisie stepped forward and asked, “Are the two of you looking for me?”The woman took a glance at her and responded, “We’re Wynona’s parents.”As soon as she said that, Maisie and Cherie’s expressions looked obviously surprised.Maisie smiled. “So it turns out to be Mr. and Mrs. Winters. Why don’t we go into a room for a chat?”“Hmph! There’s no need to go into a room to chat. We’ll talk about it here to
“Secondly, Wynona had used multiple means to persecute me in the training camp and even tried to frame me. I had already let these things slide.“And thirdly, the cause of Wynona’s death is very strange. The police are still investigating whether it was a suicide or a homicide case.“But if you want to push all the blame onto me, I can only ask you to hire a lawyer before you talk to me again. Of course, you may not get the result that you want if you bring the matter to court. And because this has nothing to do with me, I’m a victim just like the deceased. Thus, if this matter is being forced onto me, then I’ll definitely not take the blame without defending myself.“ Maisie spoke loudly, and everyone heard her clearly.‘She wouldn’t be so confident if she was really involved in this matter.’Mrs. Winters was obviously astonished and did not know what to say for a while.Mr. Winters comforted his wife in embarrassment, “Oh my, we still have to discuss the matter with them politely
“Why don’t you compensate me for emotional damage, then I’ll compensate for your loss?”“You—”Mrs. Winters chocked. Why was it so hard to deal with this person?“Nobody’s money fell from the sky. Everyone earned it. Do you think you could get money out of me from your daughter’s passing?”Maisie’s face darkened, and she didn’t sound courteous. “If you want trouble, go ahead, I’m not afraid, but I won’t be responsible for the consequences. Now that I’m being extorted, if I still keep quiet, people are going to think that they can walk over me. I’m not stupid.”She turned to Cherie and said, “Send them out.”Cherie nodded. “Sure.”Cherie walked to the two of them and said, “I’m sorry, please leave if you’re done making a scene so that you don’t feel humiliated.”She was worried about the two people and their dignity if they were shamed in public.The Winters couple wasn’t happy, but there was nothing they could say, so they left.Cherie walked them to the door and went back to
