“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
Nolan’s expression was dark, and he was dumbfounded when he saw Maisie. Just when Maisie was about to say something, he hugged her and buried his head in her shoulder.Maisie froze but allowed him to hug her. She did not know if she was hallucinating or not, but it seemed to her that Nolan was asking for comfort.She asked, “Nolan?”He tightened his arms and said, “Do you think I'm silly? I can't even remember the area assigned within my own company.”Maisie was stunned, and then she chuckled. It occurred to her that this man had forced himself to act as if nothing happened and come back to seek comfort. “It’s your company. Why do you still have to worry about other people laughing at you?”Nolan pushed her away and grabbed her shoulders. He stared fixedly at her and asked, “What if they laugh at me?”Maisie lifted his chin and raised her eyebrows. “Who dares to laugh at my man?”Nolan looked at her silently. Nobody knew what he was thinking right now. Suddenly, Daisie poked
“Although Grandpa is a stubborn man, he’s always kept the kindness that the Summers had shown him in the past in his mind. He wouldn’t be so biased if Rowena weren’t from the Summers.”Nicholas sighed. “He harbored hatred for the nobles in his mind, not to mention that Rowena kept sowing discord between you and him at his side. That’s why my father wouldn’t let things slide until he saw the truth with his own eyes.”Maisie could understand the implicit meaning behind Nicholas’ words. Titus was no longer obsessed with interfering in Nolan's affairs after the incident that involved Rowena.‘He’s so stubborn that he wouldn’t listen to any advice, so we could only wait for him to see the truth by himself, even though the process of getting to the bottom of the truth almost cost Nolan his life.’The night had come.Nolan and Colton were taking a bath in the bathroom. Colton sat in the bathtub and played with the little yellow duck in his hand.Nolan, who was standing under the shower,
