Chapter 1491
“Thank you for your reminder.”
After the meeting was dismissed, Elaine’s secretary walked up to her and asked, “Are
you all right, Ms. Xavier?”
Elaine shook her head and smiled. “I’m fine.”
“You seem distracted. Did you have a fight with your fiance?” asked her secretary.
Elaine froze and lowered her head.
Things would have been easier if they were only having a fight, she did not even know
what had happened between them this time.
Neither of them talked when Ian sent her back home last night. The atmosphere in the
car had been awkward, and she was certain that he thought she did not understand
him at all.
Looking at the troubled expression on her face, her secretary comforted her. “Actually,
both of you just need to sit down and talk everything out. If you refuse to communicate,

Elaine let out a bitter smile and said, “what if he gets even angrier after I tell him everything?”
Her secretary was stunned. “Is your fiance such a petty-minded man? what is it about that would make him angry
after you told him?”
Elaine pressed her lips tightly and said, “It’s not his problem. M-Maybe I’m just being nosy.”
Her secretary was even more confused. “You're his fiancee, so isn't it normal that you want to know more about
him? It would be abnormal if you didn't care about him at all.”
Elaine returned to her office and massaged her temples on her chair. Suddenly, she chuckled at herself. They were
just having a marriage of convenience. However, she was the one who fell in love with Ian. They had said they
wouldn’t interfere with each other’s private life, but she was the one who poked her nose into his stuff.
Even though Ian treated her sincerely after she inadvertently took the stab for him, at the end of the day, she still
couldn't replace Barbara's position in his heart.
Even if he felt that he owed her something, she was certain that he felt he owed Barbara even more.
Suddenly, she received a text message from Lucy.
[Sis, my mom told me to remind you not to forget to attend Mr. Goldmann Sr.’s birthday party.]
‘Mr. Goldmann Sr.'s birthday party, huh?’ Elaine frowned. ‘The Bouchers and the Goldmanns have a great
relationship. Does this mean that Barbara will be there as well?’
Just as she expected, all of the Bouchers were at Nicholas’ birthday party. The Goldmanns did not invite a lot of
people, and most of them were their close friends.
The Hannigans, the Bouchers, and the Lucases... Most of the prestigious families in the city had come to his
birthday party.
It was Nicholas' s birthday. His face was full of smiles, and he was in high spirits since his son, daughter-in- law, and
grandchildren were with him.
“I heard that Mr. Goldmann Sr.’s daughter-in-law prepared the birthday party. He treats her like his own daughter.”
“Well, his daughter-in-law has given him three grandchildren. Not only is she smart and talented, but Mr. Goldmann
loves her to the core. Now the Goldmanns have three heirs, and you can see from the fact that he adores his
daughter-in-law when he allowed Mr. Goldmann’s daughter to carry her mother’s surname.”
All of the guests were envious of Maisie.
When Maisie first married Nolan, everyone in Bassburgh thought she did not deserve
Nolan.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, most of the women who married into rich families did not lead happy lives.
They only got married because of their family status and the benefits they would gain
from the marriage.
However, not only was Maisie a pretty woman, but she was also talented and had
brought a lot of fortune to Nolan. It went without saying that Nicholas would adore her
from the bottom of his heart.
What's more, Nolan spent all his time on his wife after being married for so many
years. He did not have any scandals with any women, nor did he make his wife worry
about him.
Not many men in Bassburgh could do that to their wives like him.
Elaine followed the Xaviers and walked around. She looked at those couples, as well as
Lucy and Hector, and a surge of sadness erupted from the bottom of her heart.
Edward led them toward Nicholas to give him birthday gifts.
Nicholas was happy tonight, treating all the guests with great enthusiasm.
