“Someone is coming, let me go this one time-”
Maisie ‘begged’ him gently, her beautiful face and pretty eyes mesmerizing.
Nolan’s heart melted. How dare this woman start a fire and beg him to stop? No one could handle that.
He took a deep breath and hugged her. “Don’t move, let me hug you.”
Maisie didn’t dare to move because she knew that Nolan was holding himself back. If she moved, he
might lose it.
“Are you done?”
There was only silence.
“Nolan, can I tell you a joke? I promise that you’ll calm down.”
She heard ‘OK’ from behind her, with a hint of curiosity in his voice.
“A cube of sugar was walking toward the North Pole, and when it got there, it felt really cold and was
frozen solid, so it became rock sugar.”
Nolan was rendered speechless.
The woman excitedly continued “I have another one. A cabbage started to strip while it walked, and after
a few steps, it disappeared!” Nolan immediately lowered his head and kissed her lips to stop her from
talking
“Maisie, I have
Cherie opened the door, and the three of them stared at each other, Cherie frozen on the spot. Oh no,
that would be the end of her.
“Oh, I’ve suddenly gone blind I can’t see anything.” Cherie cleverly closed her eyes and tried to feel for
the door, walked out, and closed the door.
Nolan’s expression was scarily dark, and the weather immediately tumed cloudy.
Maisie stood on her toes to kiss him and said when she saw his anger subside, “Alright, Cherie came to
see me because I have something to get to. Mr. and Mrs. Winters are waiting for me.”
“Why are you meeting them?” Nolan’s face dropped in a second.
Maisie tidied up his collar. “To solve problems, of course.”
Nolan hugged her waist. “Do you need my help?”
Maisie chuckled. “No, I can manage.”
.
She was leaving when Nolan pressed his body against her. “There’s no rush then Let them wait-Mm.”
Maisie stood on her toes and stopped short of his lips. “Can we finish this tonight?”
Nolan turned into a wolf who had just gotten his way. “You promised.”
At the restaurant, in a private room…
Maisie and Cherie opened the door and saw Mr. and Mrs. Winters waiting for them in the private room.
Mr. Winters stood up to greet them, but Mrs. Winters pulled him down and said impatiently, “She’s just
trying to solve the issue now that it’s been blown up. What’s the point? People like you with a reputation
only care when it’s at stake. You’re just hiding skeletons in your closet.”
Maisie walked to the table and sat down with no expression. She said in a classy manner, “Mrs. Winters,
that’s not true. I just came here to have a chat with you. How would this be hiding skeletons? I was just
thinking for you.”
“Thinking for us?” Mrs. Winters laughed. “You want my daughter to sacrifice herself, yet we as parents
have no place to say our piece? I don’t think it’s too much to ask for compensation from you since you
caused our daughter’s death.”
Mrs. Winters said that without batting an eyelash because she had heard how some people had bullied
her daughter in the camp. In case their daughter was still alive and offended ‘Mrs. Goldmann’, all they
would have to do was to get her to apologize.
