The sweat rolled down from his brows and burned her shoulder. The breath on her neck surrounded her
while he asked, “Are you not going to ask me to stay?”
Maisie looked into his deep, seductive eyes.
Nolan carried her into the bathroom. Maisie looked so delicate and innocent in his eyes.
After putting her down, Maisie pushed his arm and screamed, “Get out, I’ll do it myself.”
He squinted. “You still have energy?”
Maisie blew air through her nose, not answering.
Nolan kissed the top of her head and forehead. “I’ll wait for you outside.”
Maisie walked out after she finished showering.
Nolan stood with his back against her, looking like he was on a call.
He was just wearing a shirt, and parts of the shirt stuck to his back because of sweat, showing his body.
“Alright.” Nolan hung up and put his phone down.
“Are you still busy?” Maisie walked to the hairdryer while drying her hair with a towel. Nolan frowned and
turned to look at her. “Bad news.”
Maisie picked up the hairdryer and looked at him.”
What bad news?” “Rowena got out.”
She paused and looked at him again. “How?”
Nolan rubbed his brows. “The person who sent food in thought that she was acting funny and was bitten
by Rowena when he went in to check. She stole the gun and killed him.”
That crazy woman just wouldn’t behave even when she was locked up.
Seeing that she was frowning, Nolan walked to her and hugged her shoulders with one hand while he
picked up a towel with another hand to help her dry her hair. “Quincy secretly followed her. She will try to
take revenge now that she has escaped. She won’t be able to stay quiet.”
Zena had been leaden with overcast for those two days. 1
Maisie went back to the de Armas to attend her grandfather’s funeral. It was a simple one with no ashes
nor body. They only raised a tombstone.
No one other than Strix, Erwin, and Nolan attended the funeral that day.
Maisie stood in front of the tombstone for a long time. Nolan walked behind her and put his coat on her
shoulders. She wrapped it tightly around herself.
At that moment, Quincy suddenly rushed over. “Mr. Goldmann!”
Nolan turned to look at him. His eyes darkened when he saw that he looked pale. “What’s going on?”
“Rowena has taken Young Master Wayion and Elder Master Goldmann as hostages. We’re confronting
her at the pier.”
Maisie immediately rushed forward after he spoke.” What did you just say!?”
How could she take Wayion and Titus hostage?
Maisie knew Rowena wouldn’t lay low, but she didn’t expect her to kidnap her son instead of her!
“No, I have to go…”
Nolan pulled on her arm. “I’ll go. If you go, she won’t let Wayion and Grandpa go.”
Maisie was stunned, but the moment Nolan let go, she held his wrist and looked at him, her face pale.
“Nolan, I’ll go with you.”
Nolan put his hand behind her head and lowered his head to touch her forehead. “Trust me, I’ll bring
Wayion back.”
Nolan pulled her hand away and left with Quincy.
Erwin looked at Strix. The latter nodded, so Erwin left with his men.
Chapter 576
A group of men in black stood at the pier, confronting Rowena, who was on a boat. The men didn’t dare
act rashly because Rowena he a gun in one hand and had the controls to the bomb tied around her body
in the other.
