Chapter 695
Nolan loosened his tie and said to Quincy. “I’m not going to the dinner tonight. Tell them that I have to take a bath
with my wife.”
Quincy was rendered speechless.
At night, Maisie regretted everything she had said in the afternoon. The ripples were reflecting on the ceiling. The
bathroom was foggy, and it was only when the residual heat faded that her vision became clear.
She leaned on Nolan’s chest and listened to his heartbeat. His body gave off a refreshing smell after he took a bath,
and the beads of salty sweats that glided off his body looked like rivulets of light.
“Are you really not going to attend the dinner?” she asked.
He lifted her wet hair and collected them behind her back. “I didn’t want to go in the first place. Besides, isn’t it
more important to
stay with my wife than to socialize?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaisie was tickled pink by his answer. She got up and wrapped the towel around her body. After that, she took the
hair blower and walked to the washbasin to dry her hair.
Nolan approached her and took the hair blower away from her. He helped her dry her hair, and as he ran his
fingers over her hair, he said, “From now onward, I’ll help you dry your hair, Zee.”
Maisie looked at him and said, “Nolan, there’s one thing…”
Nolan switched off the hair blower and looked at her.” Yeah?”
Turning around, Maisie lifted her head to meet his gaze, but she did not say anything. Although she did not say
anything, he knew she wanted to ask for help from him through her eyes.
“Do you want me to help you with something?”
Maisie blinked her eyes.
He poked her cheek and continued. “You don’t have to go to the extent of inviting me for a bath if you have a favor
to ask. You can just tell me. I thought you just wanted to take a bath with me.”
Maisie pushed his hand away and replied, “I was just kidding. Who knew you’d take it so seriously!?”
He raised his brows. “Well, what’s done cannot be undone.”
Maisie decided not to beat around the bush anymore. She was reluctant to tell him about it because she did not
know how to tell him. After all, that person was somewhat connected to his mother.
“Mr. Topaz was once your mother’s agent, right?”
The smile on the tip of Nolan’s lips froze, and his face sank. He replied flatly, “Why are you asking about him?”
Maisie knew that it was a taboo to talk about his mother right now since he had lost his memories. However,
Anthony had once been his mother’s agent.
Besides, Maisie was curious about everything that Louis had told her today. She had heard about the things that
happened to Ryleigh that year. However, she had not asked her about it since she did not want to make Ryleigh go
through the trauma again.
The reason Louis would know about it was that he had looked into the matter himself.
Nolan put the hair blower down and gathered the few strands of wet hair that stuck to her cheek. “Just tell me what
you want.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaisie opened her mouth slightly and asked, “Mr. Topaz has a daughter named Naomi, right?”
Nolan squinted his eyes and replied, “I guess so. Why are you asking?”
“She and Ryleigh joined the same club when they were in university. I heard that…” Maisie lowered her head to look
at her toes. “She’s in a coma now.”
Ryleigh had been kicked out of her club back then because the Royal Academy of Music only offered one spot for
the students who joined the orchestra club at Northwest University.
Both Ryleigh and Naomi had been the ace students in the orchestra club. However, when they had been competing
against each other in a performance, Naomi fell from the stairs, and Ryleigh was the only one who was with her at
that time.
Ryleigh had been accused as the “culprit” who pushed Naomi down the stairs. After the incident, Anthony, the gold-
medal agent at the Royal Academy of Music, had used his connections to get the school to cancel Ryleigh’s
application.
After that, Ryleigh was kicked out of the club because they all thought she was the one who had pushed Naomi
down the stairs.
Christina, Ryleigh’s aunt, had stepped forward, and it was only then that scandal and news were put to an end.
However, Ryleigh had not touched music since then. She had withdrawn from Northwest University and cut off all
her connections with her friends.
