Maisie asked the two bodyguards to wait outside the main entrance and entered the villa with Saydie.
Quincy was already waiting for her in the lobby of the villa. “You’ve come.”
He looked at Saydie and claimed, “Mr. Goldmann only allowed you to go up alone.”
Maisie’s footsteps stopped, and she looked at Saydie.” Wait for me here, I’ll be fine.”
Saydie hesitated but did not refute. Still, she watched as Maisie went upstairs.
Quincy took a glance at her and smiled all of a sudden. “I heard that you’re quite a fighter, Ms. Saydie.
I wonder if I can learn a thing or two from you when you’re free?”
Saydie gave him a sideways glance and answered without frowning or hesitating, “Not unless you want
to die.”
Quincy was rendered speechless.
When Maisie walked into the study, a man was standing in front of the window with his back to her and
with only a shirt on him. It was still the same reassuring silhouette as before, but he felt a little lonely for
some reason.
Nolan had already sensed that she was behind him, so
his voice sounded calm. “How have you been in the past three years?”
Maisie crossed her arms and responded clearly to his question, “Mr. Goldmann, you’ve asked me to
come over to talk about the details of our partnership, but the first thing that you’re asking about is
something that has nothing to do with the partnership?”
Nolan turned to look at her and asked again, “How have you been?” ;
Maisie curled the corners of her lips. “I’ve been living a good life. It’s been very comfortable and free, and
I’m very happy.” –
He continued as soon as she finished speaking. “But that’s not the case for me.”
Maisie pursed her lips, and the glint that flashed across her eyes disappeared immediately into the
gloomy pupils.
Nolan walked toward her. When Maisie took a step backward subconsciously, he quickly propped his
arm against the wall behind her
and wrapped the other arm around her, keeping her within his embrace.
The familiar scent enveloped her once again, dragging her into a trance instantly.
“Zee, I missed you very much.”
Maisie’s eyelashes trembled slightly as Nolan’s words echoed repeatedly in her ears.
‘Zee, I missed you very much.
‘He actually missed me? Isn’t he the one who insisted on pushing me away?’
A hint of coldness could be seen in Maisie’s expression as she looked at him blankly and clenched the
hands hanging by her sides. “Nolan Goldmann, what makes you think you have the right to say that?”
Nolan did not say anything, and the gloom at the bottom of his eyes gradually thickened.
Maisie looked directly at him without any hesitation.” You’re the one who pushed me away and wanted to
divorce me three years ago.
Are you telling me that you regret it now? And are you asking me to come back to you?”
Nolan suppressed the hidden emotions in his eyes and smiled. “You don’t need to come back to me.”
Just when Maisie was puzzled, his eyes were fixed on her. “We’re still husband and wife.”
Looking at the trace of surprise that was surging in her eyes, Nolan placed his palm against her cheek.”
Zee, we aren’t divorced.”
“What do you mean?” Maisie’s fingertips slightly stiffened.
He gave off a faint smirk. “I didn’t sign the divorce papers.”
‘He didn’t sign them?’
Maisie’s head was blank.
‘Why didn’t he sign them? Isn’t he the one who wanted to get a divorce? He’s the one who asked Quincy
to come and ask me to sign the papers, but he didn’t sign them in the end?
‘But so what if he didn’t sign them?
“He was indifferent back then. If I hadn’t begged humbly for him to appear in the rain that day, I wouldn’t
have fainted, and Dad, Cherie, and the baby in my womb wouldn’t have been implicated in that accident!
Maisie pushed him away indifferently. “After three years of separation, our marriage can be considered to
have been dissolved.”
Nolan grabbed her wrist. “Nobody can dissolve it as long as I don’t agree to it.”
Maisie shook his hand off her. “Nolan, now you’re just being a jerk!”
“Yes, I’m just a jerk,” he admitted.
Maisie was astonished, but he did not let her go.
“Zee, do you know why I haven’t come to Morwich to find you in the past three years?”
Maisie did not utter a single word.
“Because I don’t dare to do so,” he explained.
Maisie’s eyes looked blank, and the warmth that she felt on her wrist was difficult for her to resist.
