Chapter 461
In the evening, Maisie went to pick up Ryleigh.
Ryleigh was wearing a suspender skirt and had a pair of ponytails, looking pure and energetic. She got
into the car and fastened her seat belt. “Why would you think of asking me out for a drink all of a
sudden?”
Maisie had already started the car and departed. She only gave off a depressing smile. “I’m in a bad
mood.”
“You and Nolan, did you quarrel or what?” Ryleigh sensed her emotions. ‘Wasn’t everything fine between
the two of you before you we to Stoslo?
Maisie’s eyelashes twitched, but she could not bear to utter the sentence ‘we’re going through a divorce”
in the end.
She did not say it, maybe because she wanted to maintain the marriage in front of others, even if she
was only lying to herself for a short moment.
When they came to a bar, both of them ordered a cocktail respectively. Ryleigh stirred the drink with a

Maisie paused for a split second but then changed the subject. ‘Are you planning to delay your marriage
with Louis?”
Ryleigh took a glance at her and then muttered, ‘I don’t want to get married either, but my dad, Aunt
Lucas, and my aunt are all exceptionally optimistic about this marriage. You know me, I don’t want to get
married because of the connection that my family will benefit from. Can marriage without any love and
affection be called marriage?
“What’s more, Louis and I don’t agree with each other all the time. We’re always at each other’s throats
whenever we meet. Besides, I’ve looked into him. He has an ex-girlfriend who’s a supermodel, and she
has a beautiful figure and a bootylicious body when compared to me. But still, she broke up with him in
the end. This means that the woman eventually regained her senses and could no longer stand his
irritable temper.”
Maisie was about to say something when her gaze suddenly shifted onto the man who appeared beside
Ryleigh. She wanted to remind Ryleigh, but Ryleigh’s chattering words and quick speech rate made it
impossible for her to speak up.
In the end, she could only reach out and pat her helplessly.
“What are you patting me for? I don’t think I’m wrong. He’s a vicious and emotionally unstable man…”
Ryleigh continued to deliver her beliefs, but her voice became softer and softer. She then followed
Maisie’s line of sight and turned her head, only to see Louis standing beside her. Louis did not seem to
have seen them. He only asked the bartender for two glasses of liquor. While Ryleigh shifted nearer to
Maisie subconsciously and whispered, “He didn’t hear it, did he?”
“I guess so.’ Maisie nodded.
Louis, who took the liquor from the bartender, turned to look at the two of them, “Are the two of you here
by yourselves?”
Maisie gave off a faint smile. “Yes, cousin, are you here with your friends?”
“What did you just call me?’ Louis was a little surprised. After all, Maisie had never addressed him a s
her cousin.
“My cousin.” Maisie shrugged and then placed her hand on Ryleigh’s shoulder, trying to make herself
look as normal as possible. “Aren’t you going to invite me and my cousin-in-law over for a drink?”
Ryleigh shuddered and smacked her hand off her shoulder. “Who’s your cousin-in-law?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZee, this sl*t, all she knows is to make a fool out of me!’
Louis took a glance at Ryleigh and then looked at Maisie again. “Come with me then.”
Maisie wrapped her arm around Ryleigh’s shoulders and caught up to Louis while Maisie hauled over
Ryleigh. When they arrived at the private room door, Maisie was surprised to find that Helios was sitting
among the young men in the room.
Ryleigh was surprised, rushed over to Helios’ side, and sat down. “Helios, you’ve always been a
workaholic.
Why would you be here, drinking?”
Helios gave off a faint smile. “I’m free tomorrow, and that’s rare, so I came out to get together with some
friends.”
With that said, he looked up at Maisie, who was approaching them. “Ms. Vanderbilt, you’re here too.”
Maisie nodded at him and took a seat in the corner.
The other three men were dressed in eye-catching, exceptional clothes. Although their appearance and
temperament were not as good as Helios and Louis’s, they had their own merits, and they all knew
Ryleigh.
