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
“You…” The things that had occurred that day surfaced in Nolan’s head. He had just been following his basic instinct, and it wasn’t something that he could control.He let go of her and covered his forehead with his hand helplessly.“How could you blame me for that?”Maisie had been the one who kissed him and seduced him first. In any case, he would lose control of himself whenever he got close to her.Maisie pulled his arm and said, “Alright, alright. I’ll stop making fun of you. Let’s go home.”‘Go home…’Nolan’s eyes suddenly turned glassy. When she said the words ‘go home’, he did not know why, but he felt a sense of familiarity.Maisie wrapped her arm around his. In other people's eyes, they were an eye-pleasing couple, and nobody would have thought they had already gotten a divorce. When they returned to the East Island Villa, they saw Titus, who was reprimanding the group of bodyguards for not taking good care of Nolan.It was only when he saw Nolan that he stopped.
“We have so many people in the Metropolis. Why is there a need for you to worry about me?”Strix patted Saydie’s shoulder. “You’re still young. You can’t stay in the Metropolis all the time for the rest of your life. You should leave, go out there, and experience what the world has to offer. Plus, you’ll be following Zee around. I can rest assured with that in mind.”Maisie did not expect that Strix would assign Saydie to her.‘Saydie has always been staying within the Metropolis. It should be hard for her to get used to her life after leaving Metropolis, right?’Maisie was about to say something when Saydie responded, “Okay, I’ll follow Ms. Vanderbilt.”Maisie was surprised again.Nolan, who was standing not far away, put down his cell phone. Seeing that Maisie was talking to the two men for so long, he looked a little upset.Quincy stared at Nolan as he stood on the side.‘His jealousy is so sour that it’s about to corrode the whole airport.’Maisie walked up to Waylon, lean
Daisie ran up to Nolan. “Daddy, has your illness been cured?”Nolan was stunned, probably because he was not mentally prepared for the title “Daddy”. He was petrified for a while.Daisie tilted her head. “Daddy?”Quincy brought Daisie aside immediately, leaned over, and looked at her. “Young Miss, your father had an accident, and he doesn’t remember a lot of things up here.”He pointed to his head.Daisie blinked. “Are you saying that Daddy has gone dumb?”The corners of Quincy’s lips twitched slightly.Maisie walked to Daisie’s side, squatted down, and sorted her messy braids. “Your daddy’s memories make him a 17-year-old teenager now, so he may not be able to remember us for the time being.”Daisie and Colton exchanged glances and then looked at Nolan. Their eyes teared up as if they felt sorrow over Nolan’s condition.Nolan clenched his hand into a fist, placed it in front of his lips, cleared his throat, and then looked away. “I’ll remember everything soon.”Maisie got up
