The sweat rolled down from his brows and burned her shoulder. The breath on her neck surrounded her while he asked, “Are you not going to ask me to stay?”Maisie looked into his deep, seductive eyes.Nolan carried her into the bathroom. Maisie looked so delicate and innocent in his eyes.After putting her down, Maisie pushed his arm and screamed, “Get out, I’ll do it myself.”He squinted. “You still have energy?”Maisie blew air through her nose, not answering. Nolan kissed the top of her head and forehead. “I’ll wait for you outside.”Maisie walked out after she finished showering. Nolan stood with his back against her, looking like he was on a call.He was just wearing a shirt, and parts of the shirt stuck to his back because of sweat, showing his body.“Alright.” Nolan hung up and put his phone down. “Are you still busy?” Maisie walked to the hairdryer while drying her hair with a towel.Nolan frowned and turned to look at her. “Bad news.”Maisie picked up the hairdrye
If they weren’t careful, everyone on the boat would lose their lives. Titus and Waylon were tied to the deck. He didn’t expect that Sue was Rowena.“Rowena, what do you want? Don’t do anything to the child. Just put all your anger on me.”Titus tried to convince her, but Rowena wasn’t having any of that and yelled back with a crazy expression, “Shut up!”She had completely lost her mind. “Do you think I would still believe anything a Goldmann says?”Titus saw that she was emotionally unstable and started worrying. His face darkened. “Rowena, we have never done anything bad to you.”They had really never done anything wrong. They had taken her in and brought her up. When had they ever treated her badly? Titus trusted her, but she had fallen from grace because of her selfishness. “Do you think you didn’t do anything to me?” Rowena screamed with all her might, “I’ve done so much for your family. How could you just kick me aside?”Her eyes were red. “Everything I have done was
Chapter 578Rowena ignored him and pointed the gun straight at Nolan’s head. “Nolan, I didn’t do anything to you all those years ago. How could you be so cruel to me?”She had tears in her eyes, but she was smiling coldly. “I wasn’t cruel enough, but now I understand. If I can’t have you, I’m going to destroy you. I want to show that woman that she’s the reason you’re dead!”Waylon escaped his bindings and suddenly rushed forward and pushed Rowena over. The gun in her hand flew off.“Waylon!”Waylon immediately kicked the gun to Nolan’s feet, and he picked it up.Rowena, who fell to the ground, looked menacing. She raised the trigger and yelled into the wind, “None of you will get away!”Bang!Nolan immediately shot her hand, but she had already pushed the button before the remote left her hand, and the countdown on the bombs started.Rowena jumped toward Nolan and held him tight, pushing him into the sea.“Daddy!”“Nolan!”“Nolan!”Maisie, who rushed there, saw that and wanted to rush
Maisie touched his head. “You’re just a 17-year-old kid now. What’s wrong with calling me Ms. Vanderbilt?”Nolan pushed her hand away. “But I’m a man too.”“Are you considered a man at 17?”Nolan was tongue-tied and turned his head away to avoid looking at her. “Why would I fall for you? Just because you’re pretty?”Maisie took her hand back and wasn’t angry, “Yes. You loved my beauty but kept bugging me, so I married you.”Nolan raised his brow and looked at her, “I’m such a shallow person?” After saying that, he looked at that delicate and innocent face and didn’t say anything more. She was indeed his type. Maisie beamed, getting closer to his lips until they were an inch apart. They were so close their warm breaths blended together. “I don’t know if you’re shallow, but all I know is that you love me a lot.”…Nolan stayed in the hospital for a week. The injury to his back had pretty much healed, but his memory didn’t show any signs of improvement.Maisie passed the binde
Maisie lowered her head, and she couldn’t help herself but cover her own mouth. Even though Nolan had forgotten about her, he still treated her like she belonged to him.Yorrick grinned and said, “I’m just kidding. Please don’t take it to your heart, cousin.”Gnashing his teeth, Nolan said, “I’m not your cousin! Do you think that I’ve forgotten about you?”“Well, it seems like you still remember,” Yorrick said as he put the pillow on the bed. “Alright. Since you are still breathing, I think your grandmother should be relieved.”After that, he put his hand on Maisie’s shoulder and continued. “I’ll leave him—”“Let go of your hand!” Nolan hissed, cutting Yorrick short. Yorrick took his hand away from Maisie and shrugged. “Okay, okay. I’m going to take my leave now. I'll leave this overage "teenager" in your hand then, Ms. Vanderbilt.”After Yorrick left, Nolan crossed his arms in front of his chest, and his face was dark. He used to be someone who was very good at concealing his
Nolan did not know what to say.The car was slowly moving toward the East Island Villa. Nolan did not know how to get along with his son along the journey, but there was an inexplicable desire to get closer to him in his heart.The good thing was that Waylon did not make things hard for him at this time and took the initiative to spark a conversation with him. Nolan only had memories from before he was 17, so it was not too hard for him to talk to an 8,5-year-old boy.Maisie turned her head to look at the father-son duo and asked Quincy in a soft voice, “Is this how Nolan looked like when he was 17?”Quincy nodded. “Yeah.”Then, he sighed slightly and continued. “Mr. Goldmann did use to be like this in the past before the incident involving Madam Goldmann.”Maisie did not say anything as she looked at Nolan. Nolan used to be a man who would give off an indifferent and imposing vibe that made people reluctant to get close to him. However, right now, he had become a lot more approa
Maisie wondered why Madam Hathaway was telling her about this, but she did not say anything to interrupt her.Madam Hathaway said, “If it were in the past, he would never care about anything that happened in Stoslo.”Maisie was kind of surprised when she heard what Madam Hathaway said. However, she felt she was right when she gave it a second thought. When Maisie had first come across Nolan, he indeed had never told her anything about his family background. He had just told her that he was the CEO of the Blackgold Group.‘But when did he start to interfere? Was it because of my mother's relationship with the de Arma family, or did he suspect that there was a problem with the "feud" between the de Arma family and the Goldmanns?’Madam Hathaway looked at her and said, “I know you’re Hernandez’s granddaughter.”At the East Island Villa…Nolan walked down from the upper floor and bumped into Quincy. The latter was stunned and asked, “Mr. Goldmann?”When Nolan walked across the livin
Maisie looked at the table as she spoke. “I only realized the difference in Nolan after spending some time with him. Although he's bossy, calculative, and gets jealous often, he's cute and silly sometimes. However, when my life is in danger, he'll do everything he can to protect me at the cost of his own life. I'll never let go of a man who loves me like that.”Madam Hathaway looked toward the door silently.As if Maisie finally sensed something, she turned her head around and then froze in place.‘Nolan? Since when did he come here? Hold on a second, if he’s here, does it mean that he has heard everything I said just now!?’Madam Hathaway chuckled and said, “What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be resting right now? Did you rush all the way here because you were worried that I'd give her a hard time?”Nolan shifted his gaze away from Maisie. There was a hint of embarrassment on his face, but he forced himself to calm down. “Grandma, when did your hair turn so gray?”Madam Hath
