Of course, when men reached a certain age and still wanted to keep looking fit, it would require a lot of self-discipline. The men who had a big belly usually got it from drinking too frequently, having stress during work, and didn’t work out. On top of that, they usually preferred oily food, so it would make sense when they grew fat.They spent some time with Kennedy before leaving. Ryleigh walked to the car and suddenly said, “Why do you think Uncle Kennedy never got married?”Maisie opened the door. “How would I know?”She sat in the car while Ryleigh got into the passenger seat, put on her seatbelt, and said, “If Aunt Samantha married someone like Uncle Kennedy, she would probably be very happy.”Maisie turned to look at her and chucked. “You should worry about yourself first.”Ryleigh snapped her mouth shut. Soon after the car started driving, a car suddenly bumped into them from behind. Their car shook, bringing Maisie back to the scary incident three years ago. She grabbe
Maisie did not say anything in return. Nolan noticed that he might have scared her, so he calmed himself down a bit and said, “You scared the hell out of me.”“Pfft!” Ryleigh couldn’t help herself and chuckle. “Mr. Goldmann, can you please look around you? There are doctors and patients around. Can you please take care of their feelings?”“Why should I care about them when my wife is here?” Nolan replied. He then proceeded to scoop Maisie up into his arms, and Maisie was stunned. “What are you doing, Nolan?”He replied through gritted teeth, “I'm going to bring you for a proper examination. I'm not convinced with the doctors here.”Ryleigh rolled her eyes at Nolan and imitated the way he talked. “I'm going to bring you for a proper examination. I'm not convinced with the doctors here. Oh, please, you make me sick.”Nolan brought Maisie to do a thorough physical examination. Even though she had not sustained any other injuries, Nolan still made her stay in the hospital for two
Ryleigh did not move anymore. Louis was seriously massaging her ankle, and Ryleigh was shocked.It seemed to her that the Louis in front of her was not the real Louis. Thinking of all his strange behavior patterns, she took a deep breath as an idea popped up in her head. Initially, she was going to use a more euphemistic approach, but the words escaped her lips before she could even realize it. "You do not have a crush on me, do you?"Louis was stunned, and the ward fell into an awkward silence.Ryleigh hoped that she could kill herself by biting her tongue right now. Just when she was looking for an excuse to save herself from this awkward situation, Louis raised his head to look at her and said, “What are you thinking about?”He seemed rather calm as he continued in a clear voice. “You’re my fiancée. You’re going to marry me in the future, so isn't it normal for me to take care of you?” Ryleigh replied, “Oh, I see.”Louis let go of her foot, stood up straight, and looked at he
Eugene looked at the document on the desk, and there were some dried blood stains on the paper. Samantha had signed her name, but he had not signed yet. He crumpled the divorce paper into a ball and hissed. “You want to get a divorce with me, Samantha? No way! I won’t allow it. If you leave me, you’ll be left with nothing…”At the hospital…Colton was peeling an apple for Maisie. There was a disappointed expression etched on his face as he said, “I can’t believe how you can get yourself into the hospital while you’re an adult.”Maisie was enjoying the apple fed by her son with a grin of satisfaction on her face. She decided to forgive him for dissing her as she replied, “I didn’t get myself into the hospital. It’s your dad who wants me to stay in the hospital.”“Mommy, the parents’ meeting is next week. Are you sure you’re going to come with Daddy?”Maisie was stunned. She met Colton’s doubtful gaze and asked, “Why not?”He shrugged. “Well, everyone in the class says that my mo
’That man sold me out!?’Mrs. Hannigan was stunned. “Zee, what have you done?”Nathaniel shouted at her, “Your good daughter hired a man to pretend to be a drunk driver to run over someone. Is she tired of living, or does she want to go to jail?”Mrs. Hannigan was stunned when she heard what Nathaniel said. She looked at Maizie and found it hard to believe that her daughter would do something like that.‘My daughter hired a man to be a drunk driver and run over someone? How is that possible?’Maizie squeezed tears out of her eyes and explained, “No, Dad. I didn’t do that. Someone framed me—”“Framed you?” Nathaniel interrupted, cutting her short. He pointed at her and growled, “Are you saying that Mr. Goldmann is framing you? That man is in the police station right now, and he has confessed everything. He said that you’re the one who hired him, and Mr. Goldmann wants me to give him a reasonable solution. I'm sure you know what's going on in our family, right? And you still want t
Soon, a staff member from the front desk brought him a spare laptop. After Nolan sent him out, he opened up the laptop and searched for the same thing on Google. As he expected, he was able to get a lot more information from other laptops!He clicked into one of the search results with the title “Is Mr. Goldmann's wife dead?” and sucked in a sharp breath. He looked at the word “accident,” and he did not know if he should click into it or not.When Quincy passed by the front desk, a receptionist told him that Nolan had asked for a laptop from them. The staff member seemed puzzled as he asked, “Isn't there a computer in Mr. Goldmann's office?”Quincy suddenly remembered something and rushed back to Nolan’s office. He pushed the door open. “Mr. Goldmann!”However, there was no one in the office, and the laptop on the desk remained open.Quincy walked up to the laptop, and his heart skipped a beat. It seemed to him that Nolan had not given up on investigating everything that had happe
‘The hatred between Barbara and Katrina has nothing to do with Ryleigh and me, but she still dragged Ryleigh and me along. It doesn’t make sense if she only wanted to talk to me about the things that happened between her and Katrina.‘No, she might not want to drag Ryleigh along at all. She only brought her along just so that I’d tag along as I’m close to Ryleigh. Barbara only revealed her secrets to me after Ryleigh left the other day, which means that she doesn’t want Ryleigh to know.’Barbara looked at Maisie for a while, then lowered her eyes and chuckled. “I know you’re a smart one.”She then confessed, “Indeed, I want to suppress Katrina through Mrs. Boucher, so I deliberately leaked some gossip to Mrs. Boucher and went to the auction venue just because I wanted to confirm it with my own eyes.”Maisie’s eyes moved. “You helped me with that incident related to Mr. Ludwig, and you told me about you and Katrina deliberately too. You actually knew long ago that I wouldn’t be able
Unexpectedly, Quincy suddenly called her and asked her if Nolan had gone to the hospital to visit her.Maisie wondered for a split second and replied, “I haven’t seen him today, and I’ve been discharged from the hospital. What’s wrong?”Quincy hesitated for a moment. “Mr. Goldmann looked into what happened three years ago all of a sudden earlier today, and he’s been out since then. He hasn’t returned to the company.”Maisie stood by the window, frowning slightly. “Nolan investigated what happened three years ago?”“Yes, regarding the accident, I don’t know whether Mr. Goldmann has recalled something and that’s why he looked into the accident from three years ago. He’s been away from Blackgold for one whole afternoon already. So I thought he’s currently with you.”Maisie remained silent for a long time without uttering a single word.Maisie called Nolan several times, but no one answered. He did not return even at nightfall.Quincy also sent men to the places where Nolan usually
