“I hated you, and I hated the Chases. I wanted to take revenge, with Eugene or Peter’s help, but why…”Katrina grabbed onto Barbara’s arm and completely lost her mind, “Why was Ian so cruel to me? I slept with him, did you know? But he just used me as a pawn. He opened up Glitz and still treated me cruelly because of you. He let his men assault me, but why weren’t you the one who was assaulted!?”Barbara’s arm hurt because of her grip. Suddenly, someone appeared and pushed Katrina away. She lost her footing and fell to the floor.Barbara looked at Helios, who suddenly appeared next to her. “You’re still here!?”Helios honestly answered, “I saw her from downstairs, so I came over to check.”He was about to leave when he looked up and saw someone by the window, so he stayed. He didn’t know why.Katrina stood up and started laughing. “Yelena, you’re quite good at this. You’ve managed to seduce Mr. Boucher.”“Shut your mouth!” Barbara stared at her fiercely. “Not everyone thinks lik
Helios was stunned as he looked at her in confusion.Barbara said drunkenly, “Because I knew Katrina was with your uncle. I wanted to get revenge on her, so I exposed the scandal between her and your uncle. Also, I was the one who leaked the news to your mother about the gem-hunting event.”“I see,” Helios replied half-heartedly.If Barbara had not exposed the scandal, not only him, the entire Boucher family wouldn’t have learned that Eugune had been keeping a woman outside behind everyone else’s back.Barbara asked again, “I’m the one who caused your uncle and aunt to get a divorce. Do you not resent me?”Helios chuckled helplessly. “You’re drunk.”“Helios…” Barbara suddenly went closer to Helios. Her blurry gaze seemed to have cleared up a bit.Helios looked at her without moving away. He did not like being near drunk people, but the smell of alcohol on her was not very offensive to him.After a short while, she smiled and said, “You know what? You’re pretty good.”Helios fr
Maisie did not know when it happened, but Nolan was all she had in her eyes by the time she realized it. After Nolan finished preparing the breakfast, Maisie rested her chin on her palm and looked at her husband longingly, “Honey, seeing how much I cooperated with you last night and this morning, shouldn't you say yes already?”Nolan put the sunny side up on her plate and replied, “I’ll consider.”Maisie put her hands down and sat up straight. “What? Why do you still need to consider it?”“Hmm?” He lifted his eyebrows and put a cup of warm milk on the table. “It depends on your performance for the next few days. If I’m happy, maybe I’ll say yes.”In order to make it work, Maisie had no other choice but to gnash her teeth and nod. Seeing Maisie's sullen appearance, Nolan asked, “Are you not jealous to have your husband shoot an endorsement like that with another man?”“Jealous? Why should I? Both of you are… Well, this is different. You guys are like brothers, and I don’t see a
Both of them had created quite a commotion on the Internet with the “HeliosxNolan” when they were at Winston Island. Now that they had appeared in front of the public together, all of their fans were beyond excited.Sticking his hand in the pocket, Helios said, “I thought you were going to say no.”Nolan glanced at him and replied, “Honestly, I really wanted to.”After that, he went into the lobby first.Helios chuckled and followed after him.There were so many fans gathered outside of Soul, causing the employees of the opposite and adjacent stores to come out and join in the fun.“I heard that Soul Jewelry invited a movie star to shoot an endorsement. Isn't that awesome?”“Not only a movie star. Have you forgotten about Mr. Goldmann? After all, the owner of Soul Jewelry is Mr. Goldmann's wife. I'm so jealous of them. It's no wonder that their business is so good.”Kennedy and the shooting crew were waiting for them in the lobby. When Maisie saw both of them appear at the same
They came all the way to an empty corridor. Nolan pinned her on the way, leaned closer to her, and planted a deep kiss on her lips. “It seems to me that you’re having a lot of fun, huh? Zee, do you still want to do something like this again in the future?”Maisie’s chest was heaving up and down vigorously. Her eyes were misted over as she pouted and said, “Nope. I’m not going to do something like this anymore.”‘He's so bad. He just knows how to take advantage of the opportunity to bully me. But I love it.’Nolan stroked her eyes with his finger and chuckled. “Now that you’re satisfied, it should be my turn, right?”Although she knew what Nolan was implying, she still couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. “Not now.”He leaned closer and whispered into her ear, “How about tonight?”Maisie wrapped her arms around his neck, looked at him straight, and offered him a wide smile. “Since you’re being so cooperative today, let me do it tonight.”Nolan chuckled hoarsely and kissed her eyeb
Both of them had heard that Maizie had gotten pregnant, and Elder Master Boucher wanted Francisco to marry her. Maizie had begun going around bragging that she was going to become a member of the Bouchers. Not only had she moved back to live with the Hannigans, but the people who looked down on her last time began to gather around her, currying her favor.Ryleigh clicked her tongue and said, “Just when I thought who it was. So it's you. The woman who took advantage of her baby to get into a prestigious family.”Maizie did not react violently toward Ryleigh’s sarcastic remark like she used to do. Ever since she had been kicked out of the Hannigans, she had changed. She had become calmer and more collected.She caressed her still flat stomach and smiled. “Yeah, you’re right. Even if I took advantage of my baby, you can’t deny the fact that he’s the descendant of the Bouchers. Elder Master Boucher loves him very much. We’re going to become a family in the near future. Don’t you think y
Nolan received a call from his father, asking him to bring Maisie back to the family estate for a meal on his birthday, and he nonchalantly agreed.After ending the call, his expression dimmed a little.‘I haven’t celebrated any of my birthdays throughout all those years. Maisie did ask me about it the other day, but she’s been busy recently, so she’s probably forgotten about it.’In the evening, Maisie went to pick up the kids from school early after getting off work.Daisie and Colton got into the car and asked immediately, “Mommy, is Daddy’s birthday just around the corner?”Maisie was astounded. “How did you know?”Daisie giggled. “Grandpa is the one who told us about it.”Maisie took a glance at the rearview mirror and could not help but laugh. “Yeah, your daddy’s birthday is coming up soon. Have you thought about any gift that you want to give your daddy?”Daisie sank deep in thought.Colton spread his hands. “Sigh, Daddy doesn’t seem to be lacking anything.”Daisie tur
Nolan did not speak.Maisie walked around him to get in front of him and stared up at him, and she grinned from ear to ear. “Is my hubby angry?”Nolan took a deep breath and toned his tense expression down. He then lowered his head and held her hand. “I’m fine, I’ll go and take a shower first. You’ve been busy all day, so you should have a good rest tonight.”Even though he was upset, he knew that Maisie had been really busy recently. After all, she was his wife, so he had to be a little more understanding when it came to her.Seeing Nolan walking toward the bathroom, Maisie burst into a chuckle.‘I’ve been deliberately using the excuse of being busy to neglect him and did not mention his birthday to him throughout these few days. I think he must be very sad now.‘I might have to make it up for him tonight.’After Nolan finished taking a shower and got changed into his nightgown, he came out of the bathroom and saw Maisie lying on the bed seductively, staring at him with her hea
