The corner of Colton’s lips twitched as he pushed her head away.
“I want to change my sister.”
Daisie made a face at him.
Noilace just shook his head and continued to eat his meal. Apparently, he did not want to participate in
the childish bickering between these two siblings.
While they were on their way back to the Blue Bay villa, Maisie complimented Noilace on how he was to
Wayion when it came to politeness.
Nolan squinted his eyes slightly and asked, “Seems like you like that brat a lot too?”
Maisie was stunned. After that, she chuckled. “What’s wrong? Are you jealous o
fa kid?’
Nolan looked at her and said, “He doesn’t look like Waylon at all. He’s so young, yet he’s as cunning as a
fox. He isn’t as simple as he seems to be.”
The moment Nolan had seen Noilace was provoking Colton at the table, he did not have a good
impression of that kid.
‘The Knowles are all the same. He’s so young, yet he’s so good at manipulating other people’s feelings.
I’m sure he’ll become very cunning when he grows up later.’
Daisie was not as attentive as Colton and Wayion, so she did not notice it.
Maisie was puzzled. Although she had noticed that Noilace was different from other kids when other
people harassed him during their first encounter, she did not think that Noilace was a kid who was
capable of such complicated thoughts.
“Do you hate the Knowles that much?”
Nolan looked outside of the window and replied, “Not really. It’s just that I don’t like them.”
“Is it because of your mother?” Maisie had heard from Nolan that the Knowles had adopted his mother,
Natasha, and she had been ill-treated when she was staying with the Knowles.
However, since Nolan did not want to talk about it, she did not press on. None of them spoke for a
moment, and then Nolan asked, shattering the silence, “Are you not going to ask me?”
Maisie collected her hair behind her ears and replied, “If you don’t want to talk about it. I won’t ask you.”
Nolan chuckled and grabbed her into his arms. “You’re my wife, so you have every right to ask me about
it.”
Maisie played with her finger and said gloomily. “Nah, I’m not going to ask. If I ask too much, you might
think that I’m too nosy and that I ‘ve gone too far.”
Nolan lowered his head and chuckled. “I’ve never said that you’re nosy before.”
“That’s because I’ve never acted like a nosy person in front of you before.”
Nolan grabbed her hand and rested his chin on top of her head. “But I think you’re not nosy enough. You
seldom ask me about my things, and it makes me feel that I might lose you one day.”
Maisie was tickled pink by him and said, * Stop that. I know you’re just trying to make me feel better.”
Nolan chuckled hoarsely. “Nope. I’m telling the truth.”
He then told Maisie about the things between her mother and the Knowles. Maisie listened to his story
silently, and her heart bobbed up and down from time to time.
The Knowles had adopted Natasha because they wanted to take advantage of her. Natasha then
became the “bridge” between the Knowles and those in power. She had helped the Knowles get to know
many influential figures, and many of them wanted to win over Natasha’s heart.
Natasha had been tired of her life, so she ran away from the Knowles. After marrying Nolan’s father, she
had never mentioned the relationship between her and the Knowles.
It was only when Nolan’s grandmother, Madam Hathaway, had come to visit Nolan when he was 100
days old that she recognized Natasha, and it was only then his father learned about the things between
Natasha and the Knowles.
Maisie looked at his gloomy expression. Instead of being treated like a human being, his mother had
been treated like a tool in her adoptive parents’ home. She was certain that he did not feel good about it
either.
She threw herself into his arms and changed to another topic. “Honey, I’m tired. Remember to wake me
up when we arrive.”
Nolan secured her tightly in his arms and lowered his head to kiss the top of her head without saying
anything.
At night, at Skyhigh Condo…
Barbara ordered some food and beer. She was planning to have a feast before she went to bed. Just
when she was about to eat, the bell rang.
She put the utensil down and opened the door.
When she opened the door and saw Helios, she was stunned. “What are you…”
