Chapter 450

Maisie pouted, but a hint of slyness flashed across her eyes when she thought of something.

Nolan took a cold shower to suppress all impulses, and he even regretted his indecision.

‘Would I really be willing to divorce her the longer I keep her by my side?

I’m not willing to let go too, but I have to.’

Nolan obviously wanted to get a divorce but still played along with Maisie when it came to the children.
Maybe this was his selfishness. All he wanted was to fully occupy these beautiful moments that he could
still cling to, and that was all.

Nolan walked out of the bathroom, and the scene in front of him rekindled the flame that he had just
managed to suppress while he was in the bathroom, which almost broke him.

Maisie was lying on the bed with one hand propping the side of her head, but this posture was extremely
enchanting and intoxicating.

Any ordinary man would have gone crazy when he saw this, let alone Nolan.

Nolan turned his face away stiffly and gnashed his teeth. “Maisie Vanderbilt, do you know what you’re
doing?”

“Didn’t you say that I’m no longer attractive to you?” Maisie played with a lock of her hair with her
fingertips while winking and smiling at him. “Then why don’t you dare to look at me?”

Nolan’s eyes dimmed, his expression looked gloomy, and he lowered his voice. “Stop the pointless
resistance.”



“I don’t think it’s pointless.” Maisie sat up. “Nolan Goldmann, look at me.”

Nolan gritted his molars and glared at Maisie with a trace of gloom in his eyes. There were hints of
stubbornness and unwillingness on her beautiful and captivating face. And while he remained unmoved,
a crystal clear awareness that flashed across her eyes scorched his sight.

Maisie could not help but ask herself from the bottom of her heart, ‘I’m shamelessly standing right in front
of him, butt naked, but he manages to keep a straight face, so does that mean that I really am no longer
attractive to him anymore? Or has he grown tired of me?

Her hand that was holding the nightdress trembled slightly, but she still conceded defeat in the end as
she lowered her eyes, bit her lip. and put on her clothes again.



“I’ll sleep with the kids,” Maisie said with a hint of bitterness deep down.

She was about to get up when a silhouette pressed her against the bed abruptly and kissed her lips
vigorously.

Maisie was taken aback. She was in pain and was almost out of breath.

“Nolan…”

Nolan’s eyes were bloodshot, and his actions gradually became more ruthless. “Isn’t this what you
want?”

Maisie stared at him. Everywhere that his lips went by felt as if it was being lit on fire, scorching her heart
and burning her soul.

And when she was in the mood and was looking forward to his next move, he did not move on.



Yes, he was torturing her, but she did not know that he was also torturing himself.

Nolan finally pulled himself away and turned away from her. “I’ll sleep in the study.”

He then walked out of the room without looking back.

Maisie froze on the bed, looking at the door that was pitilessly closed, and her heart gradually fell into an
abyss.

Nolan smoked a few more cigarettes in the study. He had never been a huge smoker, but he had
become more and more addicted recently. He glanced out the window, his eyes looking as gloomy and
cold as the misty night.

The next morning, Nolan walked downstairs.

Perhaps because he did not see the children and Maisie, he asked Mr. Cheshire, “Where are they?”

Mr. Cheshire replied with a smile. “The young lady brought the little ones out earlier in the morning.”

Nolan glanced at the delicate breakfast arranged on the table, and he knew that she was the one who
had made it.

‘She still prepared breakfast…

The corners of his lips raised as he gave off an imperceptible smile upon thinking of this.

At the Vanderbilt manor…

The three children were chasing around and playing with Reddy, and the yard was filled with peals of
laughter.

Stephen had mixed feelings while looking at this scene.



It had been a long time since the last time when the Vanderbilt manor was this lively, especially when the
kids were here. Something came to his mind out of the blue, and he looked at Maisie, “Has the matter
between you and Mr. Goldmann been resolved? Does… Does he really want a divorce?”||
