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
‘So, was I really a jerk?’Seeing that Nicholas was staring at Nolan, Maisie uttered slowly, “Dad, about Nolan, he’s—”Nicholas raised his hand to interrupt her, looked at her, and said, “I am aware of his condition. Don’t worry, I don’t blame you. All these are part of his fate. It’s no big deal as long as he’s still breathing.”Nolan was rendered speechless.‘Am I his biological son, or did he pick me up from some random dumpsite?’When Maisie arrived at the entrance of their room, a silhouette appeared behind her all of a sudden, propped his arm against the wall, and wrapped her in his arms. “Let’s talk.”Maisie was stunned for a short moment and then gave off a bright smile. “What do you want to talk about, Mr. Goldmann?”Nolan asked cautiously, “Did I wrong you before this? Did I cheat on you, or…” The white light on the corridor shone on his attractive face, softening the features of his forehead and the bridge of his nose. He looked much gentler, but his eyes were still
“Yeah.” Maisie closed the newspaper and raised her head. “I’m heading to the company today, so I won’t stay here with you.”“Are you going to work too?”“Otherwise, are you going to pay my bills?” She raised her eyebrows with a smirk, picked up a glass of milk on the table, finished it in one go, and was about to get up.“Are you saying that I can’t afford to pay your bills for you?” Nolan looked at her aggressively.‘Am I so lousy that even my wife has to go out to work now?’Maisie could not help laughing upon hearing this. She walked to his side and leaned over to look at him with her arms propped against the dining table, pretending to be aggrieved. “I went out to work because you said you dislike prodigal women. You also mentioned that you prefer smart and independent women.““D-Did I say that?” Nolan frowned and pondered over that statement for a moment but to no avail.Maisie pressed her fingertips against his lips and said in an enchanting and seductive tone, “Hubby, I’m
