“Nolan, you—” Louis wanted to rush over and beat him up, but Ryleigh was holding him back, and he couldn’t just push her away. Louis rarely lost his temper and would never fight someone without a valid reason, but Nolan crossed a line!“That's enough.”Maisie looked calm as a statue—her expression was impossible to read. Her fingers curled, turned cold, and shuddered. She looked at Nolan, her eyes finally turning red, and tears almost fell out of them. Still, Nolan wouldn’t look at her. He didn’t dare. “Nolan, what can you do to me if I choose not to proceed with the divorce?” Yes, she had lost her dignity, but she still wanted to try and salvage their relationship. She took a step back but wouldn’t accept the divorce. She wouldn’t leave even if he chased her away. How could she believe that the man who had risked his life to protect her in Stoslo didn’t love her anymore or that he was already tired of her? “Maisie, didn’t you hear him? Getting a divorce with him would be y
There wasn’t much time left. The door slammed shut, and the black car drove away, disappearing into the dark night. Maisie stood on the spot. When she lowered her head, the tears that had blurred out her vision fell to her shoes and splattered like a blooming flower.Ryleigh ran to her and held her shoulders. “Maisie, why wouldn’t you let go when he’s already—”“You wouldn't understand.” Maisie cut her off, the lights casting a long shadow and displaying her sad silhouette. After a long time, she said in a low voice, “Send me back to Vanderbilt manor, please.”She never looked up.Helios stared at her for a while and said, “I’ll go get the car.”Maisie was quiet all the way back. She took her phone, thanked Helios, and got out of the car without looking back when they arrived at the Vanderbilt manor. Helios watched her walk to the door. He was in deep thought while frowning. He then picked up his phone and sent a message. In the meantime, at the Goldmann mansion…Nolan wa
“Don’t you need to work?”“Sigh, I can apply for time off. I just won’t get paid for a few days.” Ryleigh waved her arm dismissively.Maisie picked up the coffee, took a sip, and started feeling nauseated. She immediately put down the cup and rushed to the washroom. “Zee?” Ryleigh stood up. Maisie rushed to the washroom and into one of the stalls. She started throwing up once she flipped the lid up.“Zee, are you alright?”Ryleigh stood outside. When she saw her throwing up, she looked surprised, “Zee, are you—”Her mind went straight there. Maisie immediately froze. She had been feeling nauseated, didn’t have an appetite, and her period was late. No way!?Maisie flushed and walked out with a hand on her stomach, looking much paler. Ryleigh was worried. “Do you want me to go to the hospital for a check-up with you?”Maisie didn’t object. What if she really was pregnant? What should she do? Nolan wanted a divorce, so what would happen to the child? Ryleigh brought Maisie
“He wouldn’t ask for a divorce for no reason!” Maisie was obviously upset, her eyes red. “Elder Master Goldmann, I beg you, please let me see him!”Titus clenched his jaw, but his expression remained. “He made up his mind with the divorce. Why are you still bothering him? Don’t you think that you’ve gotten him in enough trouble? We won’t challenge the rights to the children, and Nolan even gave you some of his shares. Isn’t that enough?”Maisie’s cold fingers turned pale. Was that what she wanted? No!Her voice shook. “I just want closure.”Titus clenched his fist, which he was holding behind his back. When he remembered what his grandson had been through, his eyes looked cold. “Closure? I never agreed to you being together. I made him ask for the divorce. You’re not good enough for him.”If Nolan couldn’t be adamant enough, he would be the ‘bad guy’ who tore them apart. He gnashed his teeth and said, “Maisie, if you really care about Nolan, accept the divorce. We have given you
The familiar smell of medical disinfectants made Maisie open her eyes. All she could see was the white ceiling.“You’re awake, Zee?” Ryleigh asked with a smile when she saw her. Stephen and Cherie were also in the room. After fainting, he had heard Cherie say that Maisie had been sent to the hospital and rushed over, worried. “Zee, the doctor said you need to rest well. You’re… pregnant and almost lost it because you were too agitated.”Maisie was stunned. She ran her hand over her belly and felt a little guilty as she had almost put the child in danger. She weakly said, “Who brought me here?”She remembered seeing someone before passing out. Ryleigh pursed her lips, knowing that she was expecting something. “It was my cousin. His assistant called him away.”Maisie pressed her lips together while blinking. Cherie went to help when she saw that she was trying to sit up. If her brother hadn’t told her, she wouldn’t have known, and Maisie was pregnant…After a long time, she calm
In the past three days, Nolan had not messaged nor called Maisie. He had not even appeared before her.Cherie put the lunch box on the table and replied, “The doctor said you’re weak now, and you’re having symptoms of miscarriage. Therefore, you need to recuperate first before you can leave the hospital.”Maisie did not say anything in return.Cherie approached her and led her to the bed. “Mrs. Goldmann, right now, all you need to do is eat something. Come and have some. It won’t taste good if it gets cold.”Maisie did not have a good appetite recently, and she would vomit whenever she consumed something. Stephen was worried about her, so he had searched through the Internet and prepared a healthy meal for her.Even if she really did not have the urge to eat anything, she still forced herself to eat some for the sake of her baby in her womb.Maisie lifted her head to look at Cherie and said, “Thank you for taking care of me and delivering meals for me these days.”“Don’t mention
The old lady’s face lit up with delight. She pulled her phone out and said, “Really? Thank you so much, son.”Helios took a selfie with her, and the old woman bade them farewell after taking the photo together. Helios put the black spectacles frame back on and said, “Phew, that was so close.”Maisie chuckled. “Well, you're the most famous and popular actor after all. I can't believe that you would swagger into the hospital without wearing a mask. Are you not afraid of getting recognized, Mr. Boucher?”Fortunately, the old lady did not pay attention to the entertainment world as often as the young people. Otherwise, he would certainly be busted.If someone recognized him, Maisie was certain that the entire hospital would fall into chaos.Helios smiled and did not say anything.He did not stay here for long. After walking her back to her ward, he said, “I need to go back now. Remember to take care of yourself.”“Alright,” Maisie replied as she nodded.When he was walking away, he
Maisie was stunned. Even if half of the woman’s face was covered by the face mask, the coldness in her gaze and the evil aura she exuded had told Maisie who she was.Rowena! Isn’t she at Stoslo? When did she come back?’“Zee?” Stephen called out to her when he noticed that she did not get into the car and had been looking into the distance.Maisie turned to look at him and said, “I think I saw…”However, by the time she turned her head back, the woman was gone.Stephen looked toward the back again, but there was no one there. She asked, “Who did you see?”Maisie opened her mouth, and the word “nothing” spilled out of her lips.‘Did I see the wrong person?’Rowena should be at Stoslo, and Nolan knew everything she had done, so would she still have the nerves to return?Maisie did not think so. With that thought in mind, she entered the car. Cherie started the engine, and the car started to move forward.However, when Maisie was inside the car, a bad hunch was stirring in her
