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
Maisie was stunned and seemed to be a little surprised.‘It would still be excusable even if Madam Nera were to decide to terminate the tanzanite supply deal they have with Soul after that incident. After all, the cooperation relationship that I negotiated with Madam Nera was based only on her personal interests. It would be normal if she were to say that she doesn’t believe that others could bring her any new benefits and wanted to terminate her collaboration with Soul Jewelry.‘I didn’t expect Madam Nera to maintain the relationship between our companies, or did Madam Nera always know I would come back someday in the future?’“By the way, does everyone in Bassburgh think that I died in that accident?” Maisie asked suddenly.Kennedy replied, “Mr. Goldmann suppressed the news and prevented it from spreading like wildfire after the accident. Thus, most of the citizens shouldn’t know about your so-called death.”He looked at her upon saying that and suggested, “Zee, since you’re bac
Ryleigh gave her a big hug.Maisie saw Nolan. Before she could come around to her senses, Ryleigh shook her shoulder and complained, “When did you hook up with this b*stard again? Didn't you say you wouldn't forgive him? How could you secretly hook up with him behind my back?”Maisie could see nothing but stars in her vision as Ryleigh shook her. Just when she was about to say something, an arm grabbed her before she fell into a chest. The man behind her secured her tightly in his arms in a protective manner and stared at Ryleigh coldly.Nolan said, “Stop shaking her. Can’t you see that she’s getting dizzy?”Ryleigh was stunned. Although she hadn’t been seeing Nolan for three years, he did not look like this at all in her memory.Crossing her arms in front of her chest, she mumbled, “Hah, drop your act, you liar! I know what you're thinking! You too, Zee. How can you go back to him just because he said something nice to you?”Ryleigh did not know about the whole story, so she tho
Nolan couldn’t remember Maisie, so by right, she shouldn’t be able to affect him. However, that was not the case in reality. From the moment he had seen her, he was drawn to her like a magnet. He wanted to take care of her, love her, and get closer to her.His heart was pounding rapidly, his pulses went out of control, and his body temperature rose gradually. Maisie could even feel the heat of his body through his hand. Maisie returned to her senses and cupped his face. She parted her cherry red lips slightly and asked, “Are you confessing to me?”Nolan squinted his eyes but did not say anything.Maisie wrapped her hand around his waist and pressed her face on his chest. While she listened to his heartbeat, she continued. “Nolan, I'll wait for the day you remember everything, no matter how long it takes. You still owe me a promise, so you have to get your memory back.”Nolan pressed her thin lip tightly as he moved his hand over her hair that draped over her shoulder in a long ca
Nolan had not been handling the company's affairs for the past three years. They had heard that he was suffering from a serious illness and that he needed to recuperate. Since he had returned, did this mean that he had recovered? Nicholas closed the document and said, “Let's adjourn the meeting.”They nodded and went out of the office.Sitting in the leather chair, Nicholas turned around to look at Nolan and asked, “Can I take this as you’re ready to take over the company now?”Nolan leaned on the couch, rested his arm on the edge of the couch, and replied, “I’ve read all the documents, and I’ve memorized everything I need to remember. I think I’m ready.”Nicholas rose to his feet slowly. “Alright, then. I won’t stop you if you insist. However, a lot of things have changed, and the company isn't the same as when you first took over. If you have any questions, you can always ask Quincy.”He had been 16 years old when he took over Blackgold. He had learned how to manage the compan
Ryleigh froze. Her father had been nagging her about her marriage with Louis, and the only reason he was letting her stay in his house was that he thought she had decided to marry Louis.‘Will my father chase me out of the house if I tell him that I want to cancel the marriage?’She turned back to the couch and sat down. Looking at Louis, she said, “But if it’s your family that canceled the marriage, my father wouldn’t force me to marry you.”Louis’s eyes glimmered. “Everyone in Bassburgh knows about the marriage between our families, so do you think it’s that easy to cancel it? Besides, even if we want to cancel the marriage, your family will get the short end of the stick. Do you think your father would allow something like that to happen?”Ryleigh did not know what to say.Just when she was hemming and hawing, Maisie and Larissa came downstairs. When Larissa saw them, she smiled and said, “Ryleigh, what are you guys talking about?”“Aunt Larissa, I—”“We’re talking about our
