Morgan fell silent for a while before saying, “Alright, then. Suit yourself. Do what you want to do.”After he hung up the call, Helios handed the phone back to Nina.Nina looked at him and asked, “Mr. Wallace has a huge reputation in the entertainment industry. Even the most top-tier celebrities wouldn’t dare to say no to him. If you reject him, wouldn’t he—”“Don’t worry. I’ll explain to him afterward. Besides, the time limit the Bouchers gave me is almost up. I can’t rely on my achievements in the entertainment industry to convince my family.”If Helios wanted to part ways with his family, he first had to get recognition from his grandfather. In other words, he had to get the investment project in Winston Island. Meanwhile, Maisie threw a pillow and blanket on the floor. She turned to Nolan and said, “You’re going to sleep here tonight.”After that, she turned around and closed the door. Nolan was a tad slower. He tried to turn the doorknob, but Maisie had locked the door f
Nina, who was sitting next to Maisie, deliberately changed the subject in order to ease the atmosphere in the private room. “I wasn’t able to go to the hot springs yesterday, so why don’t we go there tonight?”Helios calmly picked up his chopsticks and placed a piece of sushi on the plate in front of him, while Nolan grabbed a cup of tea and took a sip from it.Nina stared at Maisie, who looked calm and composed, with a pitiful and innocent gaze as if she was seeking her help.Maisie lifted her gaze and glanced at them, then turned her head to face Nolan. “Nolan, do you still remember what you promised me last night?”Nolan froze while drinking his tea, placed the teacup down heavily, and stared at Helios.Helios narrowed his eyes.Nolan forced two words through his lips after a long while. “I’m sorry.”He sounded like he said that very reluctantly.Helios did not even lift his head. “I didn’t hear you.”Nolan clenched his hand that was holding the teacup and gnashed his teeth
Seeing that she was acting a little vigilant and hostile against herself, Xyla laughed and explained elegantly and politely, “There’s no need for you to be so wary of me, Ms. Hill. I won’t do anything to harm you. I’m here just to talk to you.”It was still raining outside, and the atmosphere in the room was stagnant for a moment as Ryleigh’s eyelids drooped. “You want me to leave Louis, don’t you? Don’t worry, I won’t snatch him from you as soon as my engagement with him is canceled.”‘Rather than waiting for somebody else to come up to me and make irresponsible remarks in the future, I might as well give it to her straight now.’Xyla looked at her for a long time, lowered her head, and chuckled. “I really thought so before I came back to Zlokova.”She looked out of the window, and a hint of loneliness flashed across her eyes. “I had been with him for six years, and I thought that even though he had broken up with me, I’d still have the opportunity to stay by his side after return
Ryleigh hesitated for three seconds, then quickly opened the door and looked up at him. “Yes.”On Winston Island…Four people sat in the car and enjoyed the island's scenery along the way. The roadside was full of cherry blossoms, and they looked as if they were parallel to the horizon, which had almost been blurred by the color of the sky and ocean as both blended into one.The scene changed and became different when the car entered the underwater tunnel and passed through the underwater platform.Many cars and buses filled with tourists were parked in the parking slots of the observation deck, and many tourists were standing in front of the observation deck to look at the vivid scene of the seabed.The car was parked in the parking lane, and Maisie and Nina got out of the car and walked toward the observation platform.Winston Island’s underwater tunnel was worthy of being the largest and most expensive project Zlokova had ever undergone. It was the only tunnel that allowed its
Maisie had seen through his thoughts long ago. She could not understand why Nolan would have such a bad impression of Helios. “It’s obvious that you’re the one who’s creating the trouble everywhere, and you actually have the guts to blame it on others!?”Nolan sealed her lips with his lips, and Maisie used the cap to cover their faces for fear of being seen.He succeeded in kissing her and could not help but give off a triumphant smirk. He then buried his face in her neck. “Zee, when will we get the chance to be alone? I don’t want to bring these two third wheels along with us anymore, and…”Maisie raised her eyebrows. “And?”He looked aggrieved as he rubbed his body against her. “You won’t even let me sleep with you at night.”Maisie trembled, looked left and right, and quickly pushed his shoulders away. “Don’t be ridiculous. There are many people here.”Nolan smiled. “What about when there are not many people?”She flushed with rage. “Don’t push your luck!”He said domineerin
Nolan looked wild and seductive at the moment. His body attracted her gaze like a magnet, making her not know where to look.…Nolan carried Maisie back to the room. Maisie was leaning languidly against his chest in his arms, her wet hair was stuck against her neck, and the hue on her face made her look extremely enchanting.As soon as he placed her down on the couch, Maisie pushed him away with her feet, climbed to the side, and lay down.Nolan went into the bathroom, grabbed a towel, sat down on the edge of the couch, and started drying her hair for her with a hoarse chuckle. “You’re furious again.”Maisie groaned and ignored him.He patiently wiped Maisie’s hair for her. “Who told you to make a fool out of me?”Maisie turned around, propped her chin on her hands, and glared at him. “Then are you saying that it’s my fault?”He chuckled. “No.”While Nolan stroked her half-dry black hair, Maisie lay on his thigh and laughed. “Your hair feels so smooth.”She lifted her eyelids
Nina sat diagonally across from Maisie. “I’m sorry for troubling you, Mrs. Goldmann.”“No, you didn’t,” Maisie smiled, “There’s no trouble. I didn’t come because of this. I’d like your help.”Nina didn't understand. “What do you need me for?”Maisie smiled. “To make them look like a couple.”Nina was rendered speechless. “Don’t worry, what I mean is that since Helios and Nolan grew up together, it would be great if they could get closer because of this.”Then she added, “You can see how they interact. Even if they are picking on each other, I think they actually care about each other.”Nina understood. She had been by Helios’ side for a long time and knew that even though Helios knew a lot of people, he had very few close friends. She was aware that Helios and Nolan knew each other the longest. Although they rarely talked, if something happened to Nolan, Helios would definitely help.She thought it might be tough. “But if we make a scene with the fans, would it—”Maisie cho
Maisie put one hand under her chin. “What if it’s not related to the company?”Nolan looked up and stared at Maisie for a while.Quincy hung up and called again. Nolan picked up. “What is it?”“Mr. Goldmann, what took you so long? The paparazzi are blowing up my phone!”Nolan squinted. “Why are they calling you?”“Aren’t you collaborating with Mr. Boucher for an investment? The media are asking about it.” After that, he mumbled, “You said you were going on a honeymoon, but why are you getting into an investment project? You want to have a hot spring report?”Nolan furrowed his brows and suddenly looked at Maisie, who was eating. “What did the media say?”“They said you invited Mr. Boucher to Winston Island for a hot spring investment project and said you’re close with Mr. Boucher. He even rejected work because of you.”Nolan quietly said okay, then raised his brows and stared straight at Maisie.After he hung up, Maisie looked into his eyes and wiped her mouth with a napkin
