Nolan was not planning on making the next move, but he only wanted to go to sleep with her in his arms. “Sleep.”Sensing the man’s even breathing behind her, Maisie relaxed gradually and felt drowsiness taking over her soon.…Maisie and Nolan went downstairs together. Stephen had already prepared breakfast personally. He smiled at the sight of Maisie and Nolan’s arrival. “You’re up. Have some breakfast before you head back.”Maisie made her way to a seat and sat down in front of the table just in time to see the all dressed-up Linda coming downstairs with Madam Vanderbilt. “Zee, did both of you sleep well last night?”Maisie humored Madam Vanderbilt’s enthusiastic inquiry by saying, “Hmm, we slept well.”Madam Vanderbilt cast a look at Linda, who then made her way to Maisie smilingly. “Maisie, may I sit here?”Maisie said, “As you wish.”She pulled out the chair and sat right next to Maisie. Linda said in a friendly yet reserved tone, “Maisie, I’ve only come to the royal c

Maisie smirked. “If you’re taking pity on her, I may assign her to you.”Nolan lowered his gaze and smiled. He got up, walked toward her, and wrapped an arm around her waist rapidly before taking a few steps forward and pinning her against the door. “What happened to you claiming that you’re not jealous?”Maisie looked at him coldly. She could not stand the sight of Linda’s feigned act of being weaker than Willow. In addition, was it wrong for her to build up Linda’s endurance of hardships?She shoved away his hand. “Don’t be holding and hugging me out of nowhere. It’s inappropriate if seen by others.”“It’s good for them to see too.” As he was speaking, he went for her lips.Maisie was so furious that she bit him. “Will you please behave yourself, Nolan!?”Nolan raised his hand and cupped the back of her head. He pressed his lips against her and pushed his tongue to taste her sweetness. He could obviously feel that she was getting used to his kiss…“Hmm…” Maisie reached for h

Maisie said, “If she bears another male heir for real, perhaps her status in the Vanderbilts will be different in the case of Madam Vanderbilt being pleased and loving the grandson.”‘Aunt Leila is trying to bear a male heir?’Linda expressed her astonishment. She was aware of her grandmother valuing grandsons more than granddaughters all the while.Her deadbeat younger brother had always been highly regarded more than her in Coralia. She was compelled to take on the chores at home despite her young age, while her brother needed not to do anything.Her grandmother had only treated her a little better only when she was about the age to wed. Her grandmother was counting on her to marry into a rich family so she could support her younger brother financially.However, Madam Vanderbilt had no idea that she wanted to marry the rich not because she wanted to support her brother financially but because she wanted to cut loose from being ordered around by her brother.If her aunt were to

“Grandpa, did you miss us?” Daisie beamed. “Of course, I missed you to bits!” Mr. Goldmann Sr. tapped the tip of her nose, his eyes overflowing with love. It was the first time Colton was there, so everything was new to him. “Grandpa, this place is so beautiful!”Mr. Goldmann Sr. laughed heartily. “Haha, this is your home too.”The maid guided Maisie to her room. The room had modern decor, but the view there was mesmerizing, and it was quiet. They could see a manmade pond and the woods.Her phone rang. It was Stephen. She walked to the window, hesitantly putting the phone to her ear. “Dad?”“Maisie, I was going through the items left by your mom recently. I’ll pass them to you when you have time to come over. “‘Mom’s items?’She had always been under the impression that her father had not kept anything she left. Maisie pressed her lips together, and her voice was a little coarse. “Okay.”The moment the call cut off, Maisie held her phone to her chest and turned around

Maisie paused but smiled awkwardly. “I wasn’t worried.”“I was just telling you. Cherie isn’t interested in Nolan. You’ll like her once you get to know her.”Colton said, “Yes, Mommy, Aunt Cherie is very nice. She’s just a little loud and a little rough around the edges.”Maisie just smiled. If she said anything more, it would show that she was jealous. She wasn’t going to be jealous because of Nolan!She would only be jealous because another woman had already bought over the three rugrats!Daisie went close to Colton and whispered. “Do you think Mommy looks angry?”Colton nodded in agreement. Cherie came staggering in and yelled loudly, “Oh no, no!”She walked in huffing, resting on the door. Mr. Goldmann Sr stood up. “What’s going on? Aren’t you out with Nolan and Waylon?”Cherie waved her hand and said, “Waylon said that he wanted to buy some toys for his siblings, so we went to the market, but Waylon went missing. I split up with Nolan to search, but now I can’t find ei
