“Tell me, please.” Maisie pressed on as she nudged his arm. He chuckled and replied, “It’s on the 23rd of
October.”
Maisie blinked her eyes. “Isn’t that next month?”
She paused for a while before saying, “I haven’t spent a winter with you before. Let’s go to see the snow
at Coralia this winter. It’ll snow at the end of October in Coralia, and I know there is a natural ski resort
there. Should we bring Colton and Daisie along,”
Before she could finish her sentence, Nolan got up to her silently, turned her face, and kissed her lips.
He only let go of her reluctantly after a long while. As he caressed the corner of her lips with his finger,
he said, “Don’t worry. I’ll spend the winters with you for the rest of your life from today onward.”
She had spent the past three years’ winters in the City of Saint Page of Morwich. The snow was white in
the winter, and he hadn’t been there with her for 1,095 long, dark nights.
He was the same as well.
Maisie threw herself into his arms and wrapped hers around his neck. “Nolan, are you seducing me?”
Nolan was stunned. The smile on his face widened as he replied, “Am I?”
Maisie went closer to his ear and whispered, “Hmm, I suddenly don’t feel like eating breakfast anymore. I
want to eat something else…”
“As you wish, my lady.”
Nolan scooped her up from the floor. No matter what she wanted, even if she wanted the moon, he
would do everything he could to get it for her.
After being tortured for a night, Katrina was abandoned in an alley around the Glitz Club. Her clothes
were tattered, her hair disheveled, and she had bruises all over her face.
There was one old woman collecting the garbage. When she saw Katrina, she was scared out of her wits
and shouted.
In the end, Katrina was rushed to the hospital by a kind soul. Her body was shaking, and her
consciousness was fading because of the rain.
When she woke up, the first thing she saw was Barbara. She was leaning against the wall, and her face
was expressionless. Suppressing her pain, she asked through gritted teeth, “Are you here to laugh at
me?”
“Laugh at you?” Barbara looked outside through the window. “I really do want to laugh at you, but I
changed my mind when I saw how miserable you are.”
“Save your crocodile tears for yourself!” Katrina snarled. When she accidentally pulled the wound at the
corner of her mouth, she hissed in pain.
Barbara retracted her gaze, straightened her body, and walked up to her. She stood beside her bed and
said, “It seems like Mr. Zhivkov has abandoned you as well.”
When the things that Peter’s men had done to her last night came into her mind, her face turned red, and
her body was shaking with anger. “It’s you!”
Barbara asked, “Me what?”
“Hah, you were the one who called Mr. Boucher, weren’t you? It was you who exposed my affair with
Eugene earlier, and this time it’s you again!” Katrina growled. Her eyes turned bloodshot as she stared at
Barbara viciously.
Barbara did not feel the need to explain to her since she felt it was unnecessary. “Suit yourself. I’m just
here to remind you to stop causing any trouble. Or else, you might end up dying.” Barbara walked to the
door. She turned her head sideways when she remembered something and said, “You reap what you
sow. You brought this upon yourself, and no one will bear the responsibilities for your mistakes.”
After that, Barbara left with the bodyguards outside of the ward.
At Soul Jewelry…
“I had no idea Peter would be so cold-hearted. I doubt there’s anything Katrina can do since he has
abandoned her.”
Maisie remembered how Katrina had tried to please Peter last night. She lived under the control of men
and treated herself as a man’s appendage, relying on her beauty to bewitch men into doing her bidding.
In the end, she still lost to “benefits.”
For those men, wildflowers would just be wildflowers. No matter how beautiful they were, they were
nothing but a plaything to entertain them.
