Helios was stunned as he looked at her in confusion.
Barbara said drunkenly, “Because I knew Katrina was with your uncle. I wanted to get revenge on her, so I exposed
the scandal between her and your uncle. Also, I was the one who leaked the news to your mother about the gem-
hunting event.”
“I see,” Helios replied half-heartedly.
If Barbara had not exposed the scandal, not only him, the entire Boucher family wouldn’t have learned that Eugune
had been keeping a woman outside behind everyone else’s back.
Barbara asked again, “I’m the one who caused your uncle and aunt to get a divorce. Do you not resent me?”
Helios chuckled helplessly. “You’re drunk.”
“Helios…” Barbara suddenly went closer to Helios. Her blurry gaze seemed to have cleared up a bit.

Helios looked at her without moving away. He did not like being near drunk people, but the smell of alcohol on her
was not very offensive to him.
After a short while, she smiled and said,” You know what? You’re pretty good.”
Helios frowned. He seemed unable to understand what she meant by “pretty good.”
‘Is she talking about the time I saved her?”
“The moon can only be watched from afar and can’t be defiled. It’s quite nice, don’t you think?”
.. “What?” Helios was stunned. It seemed to him that she was really drunk.
Suddenly, Barbara burped, and he narrowed his eyes. Before he could say anything, she cupped her hands on his
cheeks and asked with a smile tugging at her lips, “Can I kiss you?”
Helios froze.
Other than surprise, there was also a feeling that he did not know how to describe as he had never experienced
before.
Perhaps this was the first time a woman asked him if she could kiss him or not.
He fixed his gaze on her lips which were getting closer and closer. He could have pushed her away, but he did not

know why he could not lift his arms up. They seemed to be held in place by an invisible force.
Then, she fell, and her lips grazed past his chin. He subconsciously grabbed her body, and she fell asleep on him.
Looking at the person in his arms, Helios pushed her. “Barbara?”
She said something, but he couldn’t hear it well. Then, her head tilted, and she did not say anything anymore.
Helios put his hand on his forehead and sighed. She was clearly drunk, yet she refused to admit it.
The question “Can I kiss you” she had asked was still echoing in his head. ‘Is this what she looks like when she’s
drunk?’
A ray of sunlight filtered into the room. The automated curtains were drawn and allowed more sunlight to fill the
room.
Maisie frowned and lifted her arm to cover her eyes as she slowly opened her eyes.
Nolan noticed that she was waking up. He grabbed her into his arms and kissed the center of her eyebrows. “Are
you awake?”

“Yeah,” she replied softly. She found a comfortable spot on his chest and fell asleep again.
A mischievous smile appeared on the corner of Nolan’s lips as he slipped his hands into the sheet.
After a short while, Maisie cracked her eyes open and began kicking and punching him. “You *sshole! Ouch-”
She suddenly yelled out in pain. Nolan hastily got up and flipped the sheet open.
“What’s wrong?” Maisie’s cheeks were red from her anger. She put her hand on the back of her waist and said
through gritted teeth, “| sprained my back. This is all your fault…”
Before she finished speaking, she buried her head into the pillow. Seeing how embarrassed she was, Nolan
chuckled and put his hand on her waist. “Yeah, it’s all my fault. Let me help you massage.”
As he massaged her waist, his eyes slowly changed. Just like a lion that hadn’t gotten to eat enough, he pounced at
Maisie again, resuming what he had left off last night.

It was 7:30 in the morning as Nolan carried Maisie downstairs. He put her on the couch and said, “Stay here. I’ll go
make breakfast.”
He kissed the top of her head and went to the kitchen. Leaning against the couch, Maisie looked mesmerizingly at
his busy figure in the kitchen with a smile on her face.
