Chapter 997

Chapter 997

Nolan was looking down at some documents. “Come in.”

Maisie pushed the door and went in, while Nolan picked up the coffee on the desk and took a sip from it. His eyes

had not left the documents ever since she came in, and he thought it was Quincy who had entered his office.

“What’s the matter?”

Maisie walked around the desk, approached him, and reached out for him, but Nolan grabbed her wrist

immediately.

Seeing that it was her, Nolan pulled her toward him, had her sit in his arms, and rubbed the bridge of her nose. “Did

you just ambush me

“You’re the one who’s so focused on your work and didn’t realize that it’s me.” Maisie wrapped her arms around his

neck and sat closer to him. “Did you think that it was Quincy?”

He smiled. “If it were him, I’d send him to Afrenika.”

Maisie stroked his cheek with her fingertip while he instantly grasped it and kissed it.” Are you here to pay me a

warm and lovely visit again?

Maisie got up from his arms, went around him, and hugged him from behind. “Keep dreaming. I want you, my

husband, to help me look into an email account.”

Nolan asked Maisie to send him the email address.

She watched from the side as he operated on his laptop until he traced the email address back to its source IP

address. She was momentarily stunned when she saw the findings. “Bassburgh Private School?

Colton and Daisie’s school?”

While she was still pondering about it, Nolan pulled her back into his arms.” Aren’t you going to reward me?”

Maisie felt itchy when he bit her ear and avoided him with a chuckle. “Stop it. This is serious.”

Nolan kissed her and smirked. “Have I ever been serious in front of you?”

Maisie kissed his neck as he breathed heavily, but she drew the line on his neck and only caressed him under his

suit.

Nolan lowered his gaze and stared at her. His gaze dimmed as he lowered his voice.” You bad girl.” She stopped just

before things got even more intimate, got up, gave Nolan a sideways glance, raised her eyebrows, and said with a

chuckle, “So, you can now play by yourself.”



Nolan wanted to grab onto her, but she ran away. He stared at her as she left, feeling slightly angry and amused.

“We’ll see how I get back at you tonight.”

Maisie gave the IP address to Ryleigh, and the latter was surprised and a little confused. “But I don’t know anyone

from Bassburgh Private School…”

Maisie lifted her gaze and stared at her.” You seem to have forgotten that someone is teaching there.”

Ryleigh paused for a while and thought of something all of a sudden, and her expression looked as if she was in a

daze.” T-This is impossible. It can’t be him. Why would he do this?”

When Nolan found out that the email was sent from the private school, Maisie knew who it was immediately.

He was very likely to be the one who had done it.

“Zee, could you have made a mistake?” Ryleigh looked at her, obviously hoping to hear from Maisie that it was her

mistake.

Maisie sighed helplessly. “He did it because of you.” “Me?” Ryleigh was stunned again.

“Can’t you see it?” Maisie propped her chin against her palm and gave off a pregnant smile. “Joe had a thing for

you when we were in high school.”

Ryleigh was frozen in place. She could not tell if Maisie was joking anymore, and she was even more shocked by the

fact that

Joe liked her.

“But why would…” Ryleigh could not help but clench the glass in her hand, and she lowered her gaze. “Why would

Joe fall for me? The three of us had a great time together while we were in high school, and he and I were like

great buddies and besties. Why would he have a thing for me?”

“A beacon doesn’t shine on its own base. You’re looking at your relationship with him from within, so it’s only natural

for you not to be able to see everything clearly.” Maisie leaned back in the chair.” Didn’t you realize back then that

Joe’s attitude toward you was different from that that I got from him?”



She then added, “He’d help you queue for lunch. He’d get the juice you like prepared for you on time every time we

headed to the canteen. He didn’t even remember what I like to drink, but he could remember yours like it was the

back of his hands. Whenever you ran into trouble and asked him for help, didn’t he always try his best to help you?

And when you faced difficulties, he was the one who comforted you by your side and listened to your problems. Not

to mention that his gaze looked different when he was looking at you.”
