Chapter 746
Nina, who was sitting next to Maisie, deliberately changed the subject in order to ease the atmosphere in the
private room. “I wasn’t able to go to the hot springs yesterday, so why don’t we go there tonight?”
Helios calmly picked up his chopsticks and placed a piece of sushi on the plate in front of him, while Nolan grabbed
a cup of tea and took a sip from it.
Nina stared at Maisie, who looked calm and composed, with a pitiful and innocent gaze as if she was seeking her
help.
Maisie lifted her gaze and glanced at them, then turned her head to face Nolan. “Nolan, do you still remember what
you promised me last night?”
Nolan froze while drinking his tea, placed the teacup down heavily, and stared at Helios.
Helios narrowed his eyes.
Nolan forced two words through his lips after a long while. “I’m sorry.”
He sounded like he said that very reluctantly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHelios did not even lift his head. “I didn’t hear you.”
Nolan clenched his hand that was holding the teacup and gnashed his teeth. “I’m sorry that I hit you last night. But
you did hit back too, So we’re even now.”
“Oh.” Helios lifted his gaze to look at him.” Since you’ve apologized, I’ll reluctantly accept it.”
Nolan laughed angrily as his gloomy gaze met with that of Helios’. “You can refuse to accept it.”
Helios did not hesitate. “I don’t want to accept it either.”
The domineering aura of the two men present was on full blast-the atmosphere turned even more freezing and
terrifying than how it was before this.
Maisie covered her forehead with her palm.
‘It’s definitely true that these two are men who will die for their dignity.’
She looked at Helios. Nolan had punched him because of her, and she felt so sorry for that. “Mr. Boucher, is the
wound on the corner of your lips fine now?”
Helios smiled. “It’s fine. It’s just a tiny laceration.”
Nolan lowered his head and poked at the sushi on the plate with his chopsticks, feeling a little unreconciled. “I got
beaten too. Why aren’ t you showing the same care to me?”
Maisie looked at him and scoffed. “Didn’t you look all mighty and strong last night when you decided to hit someone
else? You even turned to extreme ways in order to ask for forgiveness this morning. And you’re telling me that you
need someone else’s care now?”
Nolan was at a loss for words.
Helios gave off a mocking and merciless laugh. “You were very powerful and fierce last night, so you shouldn’t be in
need of anyone’s concern now, should you?”
Nolan was so furious that his handsome face dimmed. “No one will think that you’re a mute if you don’t speak.”
Helios responded by provoking him, “Why? Could it be that you want to go at it again?”
“Ahem, ahem!” Maisie cleared her throat to interrupt the conversation between the two and knocked on the table.
“You two
childish boys, are you not capable of eating your breakfast peacefully? Get out of here and find yourselves a spot
outside if you want to fight.”
Seeing that Maisie was upset, Nolan gave up arguing immediately, lowered his head, and continued eating.

sleep with her this time around
“A real man knows when to place his ego down. The most important thing to do now is to cheer my wife up.’
It was raining in downtown Bassburgh. It was raining heavily, and the weather turned cold all of a sudden. The sun
had been shining brightly two days ago, but everything was totally different now as if the sky had suddenly decided
to put on a gray sweater.
The withered leaves were blown to the ground by the storm, covering the surface of the stagnant puddles.
Ryleigh was lying on the hospital bed, thinking about yesterday’s kiss. She buried her face in the pillow, annoyed
and perturbed.
She thought it was the nurse when she heard the sound of someone pushing the door and walking into her ward.
She then turned
around and was taken aback when she saw the person who had entered. Xyla closed the door and turned to look at
her. “Ms. Hill.”
Ryleigh sat up somewhat cautiously. “I think you’ve come to the wrong ward. Louis’ ward is next door.”
“I’m here for you.” Xyla stopped by the bed with a slight smile on her face. “I wish to talk to you.”
Ryleigh straightened her back. “What do you wish to talk about?”
