Chapter 793
This matter had been bugging her for a long while. However, she had put it in the back of her mind, and she only
remembered it when she saw Yael.
Nolan cupped his hands around her cheek and chuckled. “Stop beating around the bush, Zee.”
“No…” Maisie grabbed his wrist. “I saw Mrs. Boucher was meeting with a man. Madam Nera knows the man as well.
He’s called Tristan Knowles. Oh yeah…”
She suddenly remembered something and added, “Madam Nera said he’s here to work with Eastwood Enterprise
on an overseas project
Eastwood Enterprise was Anthony’s company.
Nolan put her back on the bed and rose to his feet. As he undid the buttons on his shirt, he said, “Tristan, huh?”
Maisie lay on the bed and replied, “Yeah. That’s what Madam Nera told me.” He removed his shirt, exposing his
lean body. His belt was undone, and his pants were hanging loosely across his waist. He suddenly scooped Maisie

He carried her into the bathroom and replied, “We’re going to take a shower.”
Maisie’s face turned red with embarrassment. She punched him and said, “We’re having a serious talk right now!”
Nolan chuckled. “Well, we can have a serious talk while taking a bath.
The night sky was getting darker. The transparent window screen was swaying gently, and the room was flooded
with the warm yellow light.
Maisie was lying in Nolan’s arms. Her cheeks were red, and she looked charming, Nolan collected her hair behind
her ears, setting her alluring face free. “I don’t think I’ve ever told you about my mother.” Maisie was
dumbfounded. She lifted her head and looked at him.
It was true that Nolan had never told her anything about his mother before.
Everything she knew about her was from Cherie’s mouth three years ago.
Maisie blinked her eyes and said, “Cherie told me that your mother was Mr.
Boucher’s girlfriend before she married your father,”
“Yeah. She was.” Nolan replied. He caressed her cheek with his palm, rested his chin on the top of her head, and
said in a calm voice, his emotion unreadable. “It’s only because Helios’ father was bound by the Bouchers, and he
picked the Bouchers in the end that my father had a chance.”
Maisie hugged him back and said, “Let me guess. Your grandfather was against their marriage, right?” Nolan
chuckled deeply and replied, “Yeah, but there was nothing he could do about it. I inherited my father’s personality,
My father had to marry the woman he loved, and so did I.”
Maisie was tickled pink.
It was only because Nolan had insisted on marrying her that they were where they were today.
“Actually, Helios’ father never forgot my mother.”
Maisie was stunned slightly,
Nolan sat up straight to lean against the head of the bed. As he stroked her hair, he continued. “When Helios was a
child, his parents were too busy to watch over him. Honestly, they weren’t busy at all, and being busy was just an
excuse.” He lowered his head to look at Maisie.” Elder Master Boucher arranged the marriage between Mr. Boucher
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand his wife. His parents were doing a marriage of convenience. They look like they love each other on the surface,
but in fact, they don’t like each other at all.
“Helios was brought up by Elder Master Boucher when he was a kid, and he only met his parents when he was five.”
Maisie’s eyelashes trembled.
To meet one’s biological parents five years after birth not only made their relationship estranged but also cruel to a
child.
She suddenly thought of something and lifted her head. “But from the incident at Winston Island, it seems to me
that Mr. Boucher cares about Helios a lot.”
Nolan smiled and continued. “That’s because Helios decided to be rebellious for once and ran away from home
when he was 12. It was only then Mr. Boucher realized how important his son was to him.”
Maisie got up. “So the reason Helios intends to detach himself from the Bouchers and even start his own business is
that he doesn’t want to follow in his father’s footsteps?”
“Maybe.”
Nolan looked at the window and said,” When we were kids, my mother treated him like he was her own child. I
guess that’s the reason he decided to become an actor. Honestly, his father isn’t against him interacting with us.
But his mother and Elder Master Boucher don’ t like us.”
