Chapter 259

“If that’s the case, you should go back tonight.” Maisie pulled her hand away with an insincere smile and pushed

him out the door.

The door closed and locked.

Maisie stood behind the door. The scene of him and Rowena at The Jade Store kept popping up in her mind, but he

wasn’t sorry about it. How could he pretend to be innocent!?

Why did this bother her so much? She shouldn’t care.

There was no movement on the other side of the door. She turned around and wondered if he had left.

She had pushed him out. He would have left if he was smart. But what if he wouldn’t leave?

Maisie bit her lip and opened the door against her mind’s will. Nolan was still standing outside the door, looking at

her as though he was hurt. No! Maisie pulled at his collar, dragged him into the room, closed the door, pushed him

against the wall, and started kissing him.

If men did this to assert dominance, why did women do it?

Nolan lowered his eyes and looked at that angry yet beautiful face. His eyes shone, and he raised his hand to hold

her head, taking charge. He hugged her while taking a few steps to the bed. They both fell onto the bed, their

clothes disheveled.

Nolan bit her lip and said in a low voice, “Zee, you started this —”

Her rare initiative was a catalyst to him, making him lose control. She belonged to him. She could only belong to

him in her lifetime. He seemed to have said something into her ear, but she was fast asleep. Nolan hugged her and

fell asleep with her in his arms. The next day… Maisie packed her backpack and was ready to go. The bag

contained daily essentials, clothes, and nothing else. Nolan went downstairs and saw that she had her hair up in a

high ponytail with no makeup and in hiking gear. She didn’t have her usual glamor, but it was a new look-pretty and

cool. Quincy parked the car in the driveway while Nolan walked Maisie out. She walked toward the car, and Nolan

put out his arm to hug her waist, got close to her ear, and said, “Look for Cherie if you get into trouble in there.”

Maisie paused, turned to look at him, but got into the car without saying a word.

Right after the car drove away, Nolan remembered something and picked up his phone to call Rowena. “Has the

ring we got from The Jade Store been delivered to Blackgold?”

After winning the auction the other day, he had gotten Rowena to take over the arrangement and set the address

to Blackgold Group. He intended to give the present to Zee when she returned, but he couldn’t wait.

He had to find time to visit the troops in a few days to surprise Zee.

Rowena said, “The ring hasn’t been delivered yet, but don’t worry. The people from The Jade Store said that they’ll

arrange for the delivery in two days.” Nolan frowned. “Get them to do it sooner.” After their conversation, Rowena



looked at the custom-made gift box from The Jade Store in her hand, her eyes cold.

An intimidating black Patton slowly drove toward the Swallow District. The huge Swallow County Training Camp was

hidden deep in the woods. Since it was closed to outsiders, friends and family didn’t usually get to go in. Maisie

looked out of the window, seeming to be thinking about something. Titus had told her something about the

Goldmanns, and she knew that they weren’t a simple family.
