Chapter 445

However, at the same time, Stephen did not want his daughter to get the short end of the stick. Before he
left, he said, “Zee, you don’t necessarily need to always put other people before you. Even if you get a
divorce with him, this will always be your home, and the door of the Vanderbilts will always be open for
you.”

Maisie was stunned. She lowered her head and smiled.

She knew what her father was trying to say. He did not want her to get hurt too badly, but she just wanted
to know why Nolan wanted to get a divorce. Before she got the answer, she would not give up so easily!

In the past, it was him who refused to stop hounding her, and this time, it was her turn!

The next day, at Blackgold…

After Cherie told Maisie that Nolan was in the office, Maisie dressed up nicely and headed to Blackgold
with a lunch box.

Quincy was taken aback when he came out of the office and saw the beautiful and elegant woman
walking in his direction. “Ms. Vanderbilt you…”

He knew Maisie had been a beauty, but she rarely put on any makeup ever since she started a
relationship with Nolan. Therefore, he was slightly surprised to see her in her full makeup.

Maisie pointed at the door and asked, “Can I go in?”

Quincy did not know what he should say. After all, Nolan had not said she couldn’t enter his office.
However, before he could answer anything. Maisie had pushed the door open and walked into it.



Nolan was reading his document. He did not raise his head, but he knew it was her since he had heard
her voice outside the door.

Maisie put the lunch box on the table.

He asked faintly, “How can I help you?” “You haven’t eaten anything yet, right? These are the snacks that
I made myself. Do you want some?” Maisie asked as she opened up the lunch box.

He took a glance at it and replied simply, “Put it at the side first. I still have something else to attend to.”

Maisie closed the lunch box and pushed it aside as Nolan told her to. She then looked at him fondly and
said, “It’s fine. You can do your work. I’ll stay here and look at you.”



Nolan was flipping through a document and froze. However, he did not say anything. Maisie did not
bother him while he was working. She just occasionally browsed the books displayed on the shelves
behind him or looked around at the decorations in his office. In short, she was looking around the office.
Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Nolan frowned and lifted his head to look at her. “If you don’t
have anything else to do, you can leave first.”

“Am I bothering you?” Maisie withdrew her gaze and met his eyes.

Nolan looked at her. He realized that she had put some makeup on her face, and she looked as pretty
and alluring as the time he saw her.

Even he was having a hard time peeling his gaze away from her now.

Maisie leaned forward, half of her body propped on the desk as she looked at him fondly and chuckled. “I
thought you had no interest in me anymore, Mr. Goldmann. I never thought I would still be able to affect
you.”



Setting his jaw tightly, Nolan picked up the document, pulled himself away from her, and refused to look
her in the eyes.

Maisie lowered her head and bit her lip. She refused to give up just like that. As such, she got to her feet
and walked toward him. She took his document away, and before Nolan could do anything, she sat on
his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. Her voice was soft and alluring as she said, “Nolan, let’s
not get a divorce, okay?”

Nolan did not reply.

Even if she was sitting on his lap, he did not have any feelings at all. Well, it was not true that he did not
have any feelings toward her, but he forcibly suppressed all his feelings for her.

Maisie looked at his lips. Just when she was about to kiss him, he suddenly turned his head sideways,
grabbed her arms, and pulled her away from him.

Maisie was shocked.

Then, he said with an expressionless face, “The badger game doesn’t always work on men, especially
when the man is no longer

interested in you.” ‘No longer interested…

Maisie stood frozen stiff on the spot. She clenched her fist tightly, and after a long while, she smiled. “Are
you sure about that?”

Lifting his head, Nolan looked at her and squinted his eyes. “Why don’t you give it a try? Let’s see if your
charm still works on me or not,” he said
