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
Helios and Nolan were friends, and since the news about them being on Winston Island was all over the Internet, it proved that they had quite a deep friendship.Rejecting work to help his friend would help him get support from his fans, and negative news wouldn’t get to him easily.If the advertisers weren’t happy, even if they dared gossip about Nolan, they wouldn’t dare make a fuss out of it due to Nolan’s power and good financial status with Blackgold in the business world.Helios stood there for a long time before looking at the coffee on the table. “If I know him well enough, he wouldn’t help me for no reason if I didn’t ask.”Nina lowered her head. “I’m sorry, Hels. Mrs. Goldmann came to see me.”He took a sip of the coffee and smiled. “I knew she had something to do with this.”Nina smiled. “Mrs. Goldmann just hopes that you have a better relationship with Mr. Goldmann.”…Ryleigh took a stroll in the hospital park. She didn’t need to stay at the hospital anymore, but sh
Joe shook his hand out of politeness. “Joe Watson.”“So you’re Joe Watson.”“You know me?” Joe narrowed his eyes. Ryleigh was confused and got closer to Louis to ask, “How do you know Joe?”Louis looked at her. “That picture.”Ryleigh paused and only reacted after a long time. “What? My dad gave you that photo?”Louis smiled. “There’s nothing wrong with him giving my fiancee’s picture to me.”“You…”Joe looked at them quietly for a while and smiled. “I’m going to see my grandmother.”“Your grandma is admitted?” Ryleigh ignored Louis and looked at him.Louis’ eyes flared. Joe nodded. “She’s getting old now and was admitted because her blood pressure was too high. My mom is taking care of her. I need to go and visit.”Ryleigh watched him walk away. Louis put his hand over her eyes to cover her view. “Don’t want him to leave?”Ryleigh slapped his hand away and looked up. “What do you mean ‘don’t want him to leave? He’s my friend!”“Friend?” Louis crossed his arms, raised h
