Chapter 384
The searing heat on Nolan’s abs made Maisie’s cheeks flush mildly.
“You should dry your hair first.”
He smiled. “It’ll dry up later.”
Nolan lowered his head and planted a kiss on Maisie’s lips without waiting for her to make any response. Her flimsy
sleeping gown slid down her body as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Both of them fell on the bed, and it
was yet another sleepless and lustful night.
The pitter-patter of the rain outside dimmed gradually, and the water droplets on the window slid down smoothly.
In the early morning, hazy light poured in through the slits in the curtains and gently sprinkled on the bed.
Maisie was woken up by her phone.
She rummaged through her bed to look for a phone. After finding her phone, she answered the call and said, “Yes?”
“It’s me.”

Maisie got up from her bed and subconsciously took a glance at the caller ID. It was an unknown number, but she
knew who he was. “How can I help you, Mr. Lucas?”
“Grandpa wants to see you. 8:00 a.m. at SS Restaurant,” Louis said.
Maisie fell silent for a few seconds before answering affirmatively.
After cleaning herself, Maisie came downstairs, and the breakfast was ready on the dining table. Nolan was sitting
in front of the table, drinking coffee and reading magazines. He looked so poised and regal that he did not look like
the aggressive and fierce man from last night at all.
“You’re awake?” Nolan lifted his head and looked at her. He seemed to be in a good mood.
“Yeah,” Maisie replied, feeling the heat rushing up to her cheek. She averted her gaze from him and sat down
beside the table, “ Why did you wake up so early?”
Nolan lifted his eyebrows and said, “If I didn’t wake up earlier, who would prepare breakfast for you?”
Maisie pouted. She suddenly remembered something and said, “I’m going to meet Louis later.”
Nolan raised his head to look at her, and she could see the merriment in his eyes.
It was rare enough for him that she would take the initiative to tell him who she was meeting. At the very least, she
did not treat him as a stranger anymore.
He put the magazine down and said, “I can drive you there.”
Maisie nodded. “Alright.”.
Driving his car, Nolan and Maisie soon arrived at SS Tower. Before Maisie got out of the car, he said, “Call me if you
need anything.”
“Okay,” Maisie replied and got out of the car.
She came to the restaurant on the third floor, which was at near full capacity at this hour. The waiter led her to the
private room. Inside the private room, there were only Louis and Hernandez.
Maisie walked up to them calmly and greeted, “Mr. Lucas, Sir Hernandez.”
Hernandez lifted his head to look at her. “Have a seat.”
Maisie took her seat before asking slowly, “Why do you suddenly want to see me today, Sir Hernandez?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHernandez took a sip from the cup in front of him. He seemed to realize that she was being wary of him, so he said,
“You don’t need to be so wary of me. I loathe the Goldmanns, but I won’t force you to do anything for me.”
Maisie set her jaw tightly, but no one could see through what she was thinking right now.
Hernandez put the cup down and continued. “Your mother went missing after she left the de Amma family. I’ve
been looking for her all these years, and had it not been for Louis’ mother to tell me that she has passed away and
she has left behind a child, I would never have come to Zlokova.”
Maisie was dumbfounded. “You came to Zlokova for me?”
“You can put it that way,” Hernandez said, looking at Maisie with his sharp gaze: “It’s a shame that you’re stuck with
that Goldmann brat.”
“I had a relationship with Nolan before I knew my mother’s identity, and even if I did now, I wouldn’t leave him
because of it,” Maisie said, her eyes firm.
However, her seriousness was like a joke from Hernandez’s perspective. “As far as I know, Titus hasn’t accepted
you as his daughter -in-law yet, and it’s because you’re one of the de Arma family. For him, having a daughter-in-
law who’s related to the de Arma family is worse than death.”
