Sensing the mattress behind her sinking, Maisie opened her eyes vigilantly.
But there was no other movement after the man behind her laid down, so she turned her head around
after a while.
The man had fallen asleep with his back facing her. There was enough space for another person to lie
down in the middle of the king-sized bed.
Maisie only loosened her vigilance a little, but she still did not dare to slack off. No one knew how long
the stalemate went on, but she was really too sleepy and dozed off without knowing it in the middle of
the night.
Nolan was awakened by a slap. He frowned slightly, turned around, and looked at the woman who was
sleeping in a starfish position beside him. She had even pushed the quilt away from herself and was
only half-covered.
He rubbed his forehead.
This woman actually has such a wild sleeping position?’
Nolan suddenly thought of something when he was moving her hand away and then stared a ther
quietly…
As soon as the first ray of the sun shone into the room, the timed curtains slowly opened automatically,
and the room became bright instantly.
The eyelashes of Maisie’s closed eyes trembled, and she languidly stretched out her arms to hug the
quilt beside her. She then rubbed her head in it.
‘Why doesn’t it feel right?’
Maisie opened her eyes immediately, and her limbs stiffened the moment she got a clear look at the
man who was lying beside her.
Nolan was quietly asleep in a stargazer position, lying on his back like a log with his fingers intertwined
and placed flatly on his stomach.
On the other hand, she was clinging onto him like an octopus.
Maisie took a deep breath, carefully moved her arms and legs away from him, quickly pulled the quilt
off her body, and escaped.
Nolan slowly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the woman who was rushing out of the
room, and a curve appeared at the corners of his lips. At Blackgold Group
Maisie and Kennedy were walking out of the elevator, and it was apparent from her gaze that
she was obviously trying to avoid having eye contact with Nolan the moment they ran into him.
She only calmed down a little after thinking that he probably did not know about what had happened in
the morning.
“Are you heading out?” Nolan looked at her and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Maisie smiled. “Yes, we’re heading to Taylor Jewelry. After all, we can’t make you spend so much
money in vain.”
When Maisie passed by Nolan, the corners of his lips slightly twitched as he said faintly, “You didn’t
take advantage of me for nothing.”
Maisie trembled from head to toe, turned to look at the man who was entering the elevator, and bit her
lip.
“Zee?” Kennedy was staring at her at the moment.
Maisie returned to her senses, bowed her head, and left quickly. “Let’s go.”
Maisie leaned against the car window, supporting her head with one hand. It could be seen o n her
face that she was currently irritated.
“That dbag actually knows! I really want to chop off my arms and legs! How did I cling myself t o him?’
Kennedy glanced at her and smiled. “Have you gotten together with Mr. Goldmann?”
“No.” Maisie frowned. “The children do have a relationship with him, but I have nothing to do with him.”
‘Even if I’m staying in the Goldmann mansion, I don’t plan to get involved with him at all.’
“Zee, although I don’t know what happened between you and Mr. Goldmann, your kids do need a
complete family.”
Maisie looked out the window. “I know, but I can’t guarantee…”
‘I can’t guarantee that Nolan can really give the kids a sense of security.
‘I can understand that the children need a father now that they’re still young. But what if Nolan were to
bring one or two illegitimate children home just like my father did? I don’t want my children to live
through the same childhood that I had.’
Kennedy knew what she was worried about and said with a smile,”Zee, I understand the way you look
at this. You’re afraid that you’ll share the same fate as your mother.”
Maisie did not utter a single word.
Kennedy‘s eyes drooped. “Actually, you don’t have to think that all men in the world are scumbags just
because of your father. What’s more, time will reveal everything. Since you’ll b
e giving yourself an opportunity too, so why not give him a chance?”
