After a long while, Nolan parted his lips and said, ” Let’s get a divorce, Zee.”
Maisie froze, and her brain went blank for a moment. She looked at him in disbelief and stammered,
“What… What did you say?”
Nolan withdrew his gaze and turned his head around to look at her. There was no emotion in his eyes as
he repeated, “Let’s get a divorce,”
‘Divorce…’
Maisie felt as if someone had stabbed her in her heart. She had never expected that Nolan would want
to get a divorce with her one day, She bit her lower lip and tried her best to calm herself down. “Why?
Can you give me a reason?”
She set her eyes fixed on Nolan, trying to get some message from his face. However, his pale face was
apathetic, and his eyes were deep like the blue sea. There was not the slightest change of emotion in
them at all. “No reason. I’m just… tired of you.”
Maisie clenched her fists at her sides. She felt as if someone was peeling her heart away, and it was so
painful that she could barely breathe. “Tired of me… huh?”
Nolan did not say anything in response.
Maisie took a few steps and approached him. Her long eyelashes had covered the emotion in her eyes
as she smiled weakly. “You must be kidding me, right? Is it because Grandpa has told you something?”
“Grandpa is my family, and you don’t have the right to know what he said to me. I’m the one who wants
to get a divorce with you, and he has nothing to do with it. All you need to do is say yes,” Nolan replied,
his eyes cold. “Don’t worry, you can still take care of the kids after our divorce. Besides, I’ll transfer half of
the shares of Blackgold. It should be enough to last you a lifetime.”
“Nolan!” Maisie grabbed the collar of his shirt, and her eyes turned bloodshot while her hands were
shaking profusely. Her voice was laced with sobs as she said,” What do you take me for? It was you who
said you wanted to marry, and now you want to get a divorce? You’re lying to me, right? When you said
you want to get a divorce, you’re lying, right!? You must be hiding something from me…” “Do you know
that a woman like you who likes to ask a lot of questions is annoying? Do I look like I’m lying when I tell
you I’m tired of you?” Nolan sneered coldly and pulled her hand away expressionlessly.
After he dusted the collar of his shirt, he continued coldly. “I’ll get Quincy to prepare the divorce
procedures once we return to our country. You’ll get everything that you deserve.”
The sound of a slap rang through the room. The red weal on Nolan’s face that was getting clearer and
clearer with every passing second signified how hard Maisie had slapped him . He clenched his fist
tightly. The pain on his cheek was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.
Maisie’s eyes were red around the rims, and tears were dangling at the corner of her eyes. However, she
forcibly held the tears back and said, “Nolan, you’re definitely not thinking clearly right now since you
have a low fever. I’ll not agree to get a divorce with you. Don’t even think about it.”
After that, she turned around and left the room, slamming the door shut.
Nolan couldn’t hold himself back anymore and broke out in a violent fit of cough. A few drops of blood fell
on the snow-white bed sheet, and when he opened his palm, other than a few drops of blood, there were
also deep marks caused by his fingers.
Maisie was not the only one who felt the pain. He was in pain as well. If it weren’t because he had no
other choice, how would he want to get a divorce with Maisie, as well as say those hurtful words in front
of her face? How could he let her go?
“Zee, please forgive me…” A drop of tear fell on the back of his hand. It was a sleepless night for Maisie.
She turned and tossed on the bed for a long time before sitting up. She looked at the bustling nightscape
through the window with her heart filled with many thoughts. She didn’t believe that Nolan would want to
get a divorce with her, and she was certain that there must be other reasons.
When Maisie arrived at Nolan’s room the next day, she saw a housekeeper cleaning the room.
“May I know where the guest that stays here is?” Maisie asked the housekeeper. “He checked out from
the room this morning,” the housekeeper replied.
