“Nolan Goldmann, I might have promised to stay here with you, but I haven’t forgiven you for what you’ve
done.” Maisie pushed his arms away gently, stood up, and looked at him after saying that. “You have to
live on first if you want to make it up to me.”
Nolan scoffed silently.
Maisie had been staying at the East Island Villa these few days, and she had sent a text message to
Saydie s o that she would not have to worry about her.
She and Nolan both slept in separate rooms throughout those days. Although a certain man would come
over to her room and occupy her bed in the middle of the night, nothing happened in between them.
The reason Nolan kept his hands off her was that he was worried she would get infected 100. Even if
she would not get infected, there was no guarantee that the virus would not be passed on to their kids if
she were to get pregnant again.
Babies were more likely to die from the virus than adults.
When Maisie’s mother had been pregnant with her, she had already injected herself with the antibodies.
Stephen hadn’t gotten infected because of that.
Unfortunately, the antibodies had been useless to her mother at that time. Maisie had also inherited the
virus genetically, but it just happened that the antibodies and the inherited virus were keeping each other
in equilibrium all this while.
Maisie was preparing a meal in the kitchen when she received a text message on her cell phone.
It was Daniel.
And that was when a pair of arms hugged her from behind.
Maisie put the phone away and frowned. “Why aren’t you resting in bed?”
Nolan’s chin was resting on the top of her head as he chuckled hoarsely. “I’m not so sick to the point of
being bedridden, am I?
“Zee, these few days have been like a dream to me, it’s so surreal.”
Nolan subconsciously hugged her as if he was afraid that the past few days were just a dream and she
would disappear when he woke up from the dream.
Maisie was taken aback. The man’s broad shoulders and warm embrace were the same as before they
had never changed.
Why had she disregarded all consequences and chosen to fall in love with Nolan in the first place?
Perhaps it was because she could feel the warmth and be at ease when she was by his side?
Yes, who would have thought that the indifferent and cold man standing in front of her could be her
scorching sun, melting the glaciers surrounding her after what had happened to her mother?
She turned around to look at him and raised her eyebrows. “Nolan Goldmann, when you can’t tell the
difference between your dreams and reality, have you ever thought of slapping yourself in the face to see
if it hurts?”
Nolan lowered his head and kissed her out of the blue, and a hint of triumph flashed across his eyes as
soon as he succeeded. “There’s no need for me to slap myself. I’ll know that it’s not a dream when I get
to kiss you in person.”
“You shameless piece of sh*t!” Maisie gently pushed him away and took off her apron. “I’m going out.”
“Who are you going to see?” His brows creased.
“Who do you think?” Maisie put away the apron and turned to look at him. “Who else can it be except
Prince Roger’s lackey?”
Nolan’s eyebrows turned cold and concerned. “He asked to meet you?”
He knew who it was in an instant as Quincy had told him Daniel had met Maisie. If he could ask to meet
her once, a second meetup would definitely follow.
Maisie walked up to him, stretched out her arms, wrapped them around his neck, and smiled subtly.”
Are you worried about me?” “I’m indeed worried.” Nolan grabbed her hand and kissed her on her
fingertips. “Daniel is a scheming and secretive b*stard. I’m afraid you won’t be able to win against him in
a fair fight.”
“He’s already obtained my grandfather’s negative vote, so he won’t fall out with me so quickly.” Maisie
gave off a gloomy smile.
Nolan frowned slightly. “You gave Hernandez’s negative vote to him?”
‘Did he threaten her?’
Maisie pretended to feel aggrieved. “Yeah, he would have made a move on you the other day if I didn’t
give it to him. You said in the training camp that your life is mine to own, so how could I let you die
because of him instead of me?”
