“Grandpa, did you miss us?” Daisie beamed.
“Of course, I missed you to bits!” Mr. Goldmann Sr. tapped the tip of her nose, his eyes overflowing with
love.
It was the first time Colton was there, so everything was new to him. “Grandpa, this place is so
beautiful!”
Mr. Goldmann Sr. laughed heartily. “Haha, this is your home too.”
The maid guided Maisie to her room.
The room had modern decor, but the view there was mesmerizing, and it was quiet. They could see a
manmade pond and the woods.
Her phone rang. It was Stephen.
She walked to the window, hesitantly putting the phone to her ear. “Dad?”

time to come over.”
‘Mom’s items?
She had always been under the impression that her father had not kept anything she left.
Maisie pressed her lips together, and her voice was a little coarse. “Okay.”
The moment the call cut off, Maisie held her phone to her chest and turned around to leave, but she
saw Nolan standing downstairs.
A woman was standing in front of him.
Who was that?
The short-haired woman standing with Nolan was laughing, but unlike the day when he had been
speaking to Linda, Nolan smiled at her!
Upon seeing them enjoying their time together, Maisie’s heart was… uncomfortable.
She really shouldn’t have believed him.
The woman noticed her and waved at her when Maisie’s mind started to wander, smiling.
When Nolan looked up, Maisie panicked, tumed around, and left.
Nolan caught a glimpse and pressed his lips together.
“Mr. Goldmann Sr. said you brought your lover back, so it’s true!” The short-haired woman excitedly
slapped Nolan’s arm.
“Cherie Lawson!”
Quincy rushed over and pulled her aside. “Don’t get physical. I’m not going to save you if you make
Maisie angry.”
Cherie scratched her head. “I’m not getting physical. Everyone in the troops does that.”
Quincy rolled his eyes. It was true, his sister, who was in the troops, didn’t care. She was used to being
around men so much, this was the norm. If she were to marry one day, she wouldn’t get a husband but

Maisie was different, though.
They turned around but realized that Nolan was gone.
Maisie went downstairs and walked past the study, where she heard the three rugrats laughing with
their grandfather. Mr. Goldmann Sr. seemed to be telling them a story.
She realized that the children loved the Goldmanns, and Mr. Goldmann Sr. loved them so much. If she
insisted on leaving a year later, it would be too cruel for them.
But if she had to accept Nolan….
Maisie turned and bumped into someone. It was Nolan!
He was wearing a thin knitted sweater, looking comfortable at home, but he was still able to look great
even just wearing that.
That was why he had luck with women no matter where he went!
“You saw?”
“Saw what?” Maisie realized what he meant halfway through her answer. Did he mean seeing him
speaking to the woman?
