Maisie kissed his cold lips again, clung to his body, and seduced him with subtle hints.She thought she could do so but soon realized that she was wrong.Nolan was indifferent. If it were not for the restraint he had been renowned for and proud of, then he must have lost his interest in her.Maisie distanced herself from his lips slowly. She could feel a slight discomfort with each and every breath she took.‘Should I choose to believe that he has really grown bored of me and doesn't love me anymore? Or, is this his way of forcing me to leave him?’She clenched her fists tightly. “Nolan, what if I say I won’t give up?”Nolan was taken aback, but the surprise disappeared in a flash as he turned his head away. “You should go back first.”Maisie stepped forward and hugged him.Nolan’s body tensed up while his hand that was in midair clenched slowly into a fist, suppressing his urge to embrace her tightly in his arms.Maisie’s voice sounded light. “Nolan, I don’t believe that you
Nolan moved the ashtray aside and tapped the table with his fingertips. “Does Hernandez know about this?”He was referring to what had happened to Maisie in Stoslo.Quincy paused for a split second and then replied, “I think Hernandez should know.”…Maisie was soon taken to the Lucases, and she somehow managed to guess why Hernandez was looking for her.Larissa led her to the study, where Hernandez was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back. He then asked without even looking back, “Were you and Nolan attacked in Stoslo?”Maisie gave off a faint smile. “Your information seems to travel at lightspeed.”“Heh, Stoslo is a territory under my watch, anyway. They reported the news to me right after they received the news. It seems that those people can’t hold back anymore.”Hernandez turned around calmly, and his gaze landed on Maisie. “I’m correct, after all. Although I won’t use you to deal with the Goldmanns since you and Nolan are together, the other part
Maisie paused for a split second before adding, “My mother knew him. He also told me that my mother died because of the sleeper virus.”Larissa covered her mouth. She was clearly in shock.Hernandez was stunned in place, but his expression changed in an instant.Hernandez asked Larissa to bring Maisie out while he continued to stay in the silent study. Nobody knew what he was thinking—the only thing that was clear to others was that his expression became even gloomier as time went by.Larissa walked downstairs with Maisie and asked out of the blue, “Maisie, is what you just said true? Your mother really—”“Yes, Uncle Erwin wouldn’t lie to me.”Maisie knew that Erwin would not lie to her about the cause of her mother’s death, but she still could not help but worry about Hernandez when she thought of the change in his expression from just now. “Aunt, can you tell me why Grandpa’s expression changed so drastically when he heard about the virus?“Maisie addressed Larissa as her aunt
The grip formed by Maisie’s intertwined fingers tightened as she turned to look at Nolan, who was absent-minded at the moment. “How do you plan to explain to the children that we’re going through a divorce?”Nolan’s body froze slightly, and his gaze dimmed. “We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”‘Even if the kids were to hate me or blame me.’Maisie stared at him for a while and then slowed down her speech rate. “Is there no other way out of this?”‘Must we get a divorce?’He did not say anything.Maisie clenched her hands into fists. “At least, let me know the reason behind you wanting a divorce.”Nolan frowned and said impatiently, “I’ve told you everything that I need to say.”‘Sure enough, I can’t get an answer from him.’Maisie scoffed mockingly.‘Since he wants to divorce me but has refused to give me a reason, then I won’t agree to the divorce.’Nolan caught a glimpse of the disappointment on her face, and the hidden emotions that emerged from the depths of his ey
Maisie pouted, but a hint of slyness flashed across her eyes when she thought of something.Nolan took a cold shower to suppress all impulses, and he even regretted his indecision.‘Would I really be willing to divorce her the longer I keep her by my side?‘I’m not willing to let go too, but I have to.’Nolan obviously wanted to get a divorce but still played along with Maisie when it came to the children. Maybe this was his selfishness. All he wanted was to fully occupy these beautiful moments that he could still cling to, and that was all.Nolan walked out of the bathroom, and the scene in front of him rekindled the flame that he had just managed to suppress while he was in the bathroom, which almost broke him.Maisie was lying on the bed with one hand propping the side of her head, but this posture was extremely enchanting and intoxicating. Any ordinary man would have gone crazy when he saw this, let alone Nolan.Nolan turned his face away stiffly and gnashed his teeth. “Mais
Maisie was stunned. She lowered her head and replied, “I guess so.”“How about the kids?” Stephen asked slowly, “They’re going to be very sad if you two get a divorce, right?”Maisie pressed her lips thin and replied, “He told me that after we get a divorce, we’ll take care of the kids together. So that means I can still stay with them…”Shocked, Stephen said, “That’s what Mr. Goldmann told you?”Honestly, he did not expect Nolan to say something like that.Maisie nodded. Considering Nolan's identity, if he really wanted to have nothing to do with her, he could take the custody of the children away from her. He could even make it impossible for her to get anything.However, he did not do any of that. Therefore, she deeply believed that there were other reasons he wanted to get a divorce with her. It was just that he refused to tell her.Kennedy called her. She walked to the side and picked up the phone. “Yes, Uncle Kennedy? Okay, I’ll be right there.”“Kennedy is looking for yo
Louis was the famous violin prince, so he definitely could reach out to a lot of people. Not only that, but he was also an alumnus of the Royal Academy of Music. Kennedy was stunned. He thought Maisie would look for Helios, but he did not expect that she was actually talking about Louis.Although it was not a bad idea to ask Louis to become the spokesperson of Soul Jewelry, and Kennedy was certain that Louis would get the job done beautifully, would Louis agree since he had never become the spokesperson for any brand before?Maisie walked to the side to talk. Kennedy did not know what she had said to Louis, but she suddenly turned her head around and made an “okay” sign at him.Kennedy hurriedly gave the order to the people around him. “Go make the preparation!”Ten minutes later, Louis arrived at Soul Jewelry. A lot of them were seeing Louis for the first time, and they were taken aback by his look.He was standing at 6.3 feet tall, and the length of his legs was about 3.7 feet
“What kind of attitude is that?”“Attitude? You’re talking attitude with me now?” Kennedy harrumphed. “We just let you have a taste of your own medicine. Besides, it doesn't necessarily need to be Ms. Linwood either.”After that, Kennedy hung up the call.The assistant walked up to Irene and said, “Irene, Soul has decided to change the spokesperson.”Irene had never been treated like this before, and her face sank when she heard what her assistant said.“They're just an unknown jewelry company, and they dare to disrespect me?”She thought of something and decided to publish a post on Facebook.#Irenababy: I didn't think it would come to this either.
