Chapter 455

The kids felt Stephen was right. Besides, if their parents were really having a fight, then Nolan wouldn’t
have come here to have dinner with them.
The kids decided to stay for a night after they finished their dinner. Stephen brought the kids back to their
rooms to tell them bedtime stories. At the same time, he wanted to leave some personal space for Maisie
and Nolan.
Maisie was cleaning the table and doing the dishes in the kitchen while Nolan watched on. He clenched
his fists multiple times, and then he walked into the kitchen.
He rolled his sleeves up and said, “Let me help you.”
Maisie was stunned. Before she could make any response, Nolan had taken the plate in her hand away.
Maisie remained standing, frozen stiff on the spot. She said with her head lowered, “Are you doing this
for the kids?”
His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he replied, “Yeah.”
Maisie broke into laughter. “How long do you think we can keep this up?”
Nolan froze, but he did not say anything.
Biting her lower lip, Maisie turned around and said, “If you want to stay here, I’ll give the room to you,
and I’ll

explain to the kids.”
Nolan clutched at the plate in his hand tightly. After she left, the only sound left in the large kitchen was
the sloshing of the running water.
When Maisie came out of the bathroom, she saw Nolan was sitting on the bed with a gloomy face.
Just when she was about to leave the room, Nolan stopped her by grabbing at her wrist.
Dumbfounded, Maisie turned her head to look at him.” You…”
“We’re still husband and wife before we get divorced” Nolan said. After that, he let go of her, rose to his
feet, and walked past her. “I’m going to take a bath.”
Maisie’s face sank.



‘We’re still husband and wife before we get divorced?’
It seemed to her that he was determined to get a divorce with her. Judging from this, she did not have
the confidence that she could change his mind.
At night, Maisie slept with her back facing Nolan.
They were sleeping on the same bed, but it felt as if there was a big gap between them, and none of
them dared to cross the line.
Maisie couldn’t sleep. When she heard the movements behind her, she opened her eyes.
In the next second, the man behind her grabbed her into his arms, causing her to freeze. She then
turned
her head around in surprise. “Nolan?”
Nolan did not make any progress after that. He just looked at her for a long while and held her tightly in
his arms. “Let’s sleep.”
Maisie did not say anything.
Her long eyelashes fell and covered the disappointment in her eyes.
Did he still love her? Maisie couldn’t tell.
By the time Maisie woke up the following day, Nolan was already gone.
After cleaning herself up, she came downstairs. The three kids were eating breakfast prepared by
Stephen, but Nolan was nowhere to be seen.
“Morning, Mommy,” Daisie greeted as she sipped from her glass of milk, leaving some milk around her
mouth in the process.
Maisie chuckled and took a paper towel to wipe her mouth. Then, she said, “Morning, Daisie.”
Maisie sat in front of the table and asked, “Where is Nolan?”
“Daddy has gone to his office. He asked us not to disturb you and let you sleep a little more,” Colton
replied.
Maisie smiled but did not say anything.
After they finished their breakfast, Stephen walked
Maisie to the door. “Zee, I know I have no right to poke my nose into the affairs between you and Mr.







VIUMICI TUU Goldmann, but if you really come to a point where you need to make a decision, I just
want you to know that I’ll support you no matter what.” Maisie turned her head around to look at him and
forced a smile on her face. She nodded and replied,” Thank you, Dad.” . She drove her car and came to
Soul Jewelry. There was a group of people holding signs in front of the company. All of them were Irene’
s fans, and they were here to stand up for Irene. Had it not been for the security to keep them under
control, there was a probability that they would have rushed into the company and caused trouble. As
soon as Maisie got out of her car, someone shouted, “Ms. Zora!”
