Chapter 333
Maisie broke into a smile. When she had been in the training camp, Nolan would bring the three rugrats to visit
Stephen from time to time. To her surprise, they got along well with their grandfather, and they even had pets.
The three of them were playing at the side. Stephen looked at Maisie, who was sitting silently at the side of the bed,
and said, “Zee, don’t think too much about me. If you and Mr. Goldmann really love each other, I won’t break you
up.” 1
Maisie licked her lips, lowered her head, and said, “Don’t worry about me, Dad. Oh yeah, I plan to merge my Soul
Jewelry Studio and Vaenna Jewelry into Soul Jewelry. What do you think?”
Stephen was dumbstruck for a moment when he realized that Maisie was asking for his opinion. He paused for a
moment before saying, “I’m going to leave it for you to decide. Vaenna is a legacy from your mother. I gave it to
you, so you can do whatever you want with it.”
After spending some time with her father, Maisie brought her kids back to the villa at Blue Bay.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtColton went closer to Maisie when they were having dinner and asked, “Momy, is Daddy not coming back for dinner
today?”
Daisie chimed in, “Daddy didn’t come back for dinner yesterday either.”
Maisie just lifted her eyelids and replied, “Your daddy is busy with his work. You’ve got to understand him.”
The three rugrats did not say anything anymore.
At night, Maisie sat at the side of the bed and read them bedtime stories. After the three of them had fallen asleep,
Maisie closed the book and put it back on the table. She tucked in the corner of the cover for them and turned off
the light when she went out.
She did not go to bed after taking her bath. Instead, she stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. She stared into
the distance and sank into her thoughts.
A pair of arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to a warm object. The familiar deep voice rang out
above her. “Why haven’t you slept yet?”
Maisie was stunned, but she did not say anything in retum.
“Zee?” When Nolan did not receive any response from her, he lowered his head and buried it into her fair-skinned
neck.
Maisie shrunk her neck as if she was trying to avoid him, and then she caught a faint whiff of alcohol from his body,
“Have you been drinking?”
Nolan chuckled and replied, “Yeah. The CEO from Eastem Inc. invited me to dinner today. I met an acquaintance,
and we had a few more drinks.
“Zee, Why do you suddenly want to move your studio?” Nolan asked. He put his hands on her waist. Her waist was
so small that he could hold it with one hand.
Maisie kept her head low. She opened her mouth but did not answer the question. Instead, she pushed him away
and said, “It’s getting late. Let’s go to bed.”
“Zee…” Nolan grabbed her tiny waist and coiled his arms around her waist, “What happened?”
He could see that something was wrong with Maisie today.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaisie replied flatly, “Nothing.”
“Don’t lie to me,” Nolan said, frowning. He was not blind, nor was he stupid. He could tell from her expression and
reaction that she was obviously distraught.
It was only then Maisie slowly raised her head and looked into his deep eyes. “Nolan, if I told you that the reason my
father was hospitalized is that your grandfather wanted to break us up, and he got beaten up because of that,
would you believe me?”
Nolan’s face sank.
After a short while, he said softly, “Zee, I know my grandfather has a bad temper, but he would never lay his hands
on innocent people.”
“Yeah, you’re right. I don’t want to believe it either. If I’m Elder Master Goldmann’s target, he can come at me, so
why must he drag the innocent into this?”
Maisie shrugged his hand off and said indifferently, “I know your grandfather refuses to accept me, but I don’t want
my father to get injured because of me again. Therefore, let’s separate for a while.” After saying everything in her
mind, she did not look at Nolan anymore and lay down on the bed
