Chapter 375
Maisie chuckled. “Your pupils obviously dilated when I asked you the question just now. That proves you’re very nervous about this question. Not to mention the hesitation that you showed when you answered ‘No’.”
“I told you, no!”
The man was agitated all of a sudden and seemed to want to pounce at her with all his strength. Unfortunately, he was subdued on the ground by two men in black.
Maisie was taken aback, but she quickly regained her composure, stood up slowly, and looked at him expressionlessly. “Although I don’t know which one of the two reasons fits your situation the best, you’d better think about whether you have the bargaining chip to keep them safe or not. You should’ve seen the fate of the Winters, after all: You’re the person who’s caused that incident, so you should know best.”
The man lay on the ground, did not move, and looked at the distance with his blank eyes. Nobody knew whether he had run out of energy to put up a fight or had given up hope.
Nolan walked to Maisie’s side, wrapped his am around her shoulders, tumed to Quincy, and said, “Get someone to keep an eye on him and ask him again after he’s got the time to think it through.”
Quincy nodded.
After Nolan led Maisie out of the private room, he picked her up abruptly and carried her to the car.
After carrying her into the car, Nolan propped his arm against the seat, lifted her chin with his fingertips, pulled her closer, and raised the corners of his lips. “Zee, you actually know how to read psychological hints?”
Maisie’s brows rose. “Why can’t I know how to do so?”
Seeing that Nolan was staring at herself with his scorching gaze, she looked away slightly and replied, “Waylon loves to read books related to psychology, so I sometimes skim through them when I’m bored. So-Umm!”
A trace of warmth caressed her lips. It took quite some time before she could get a gap to catch a breath.
Nolan rubbed her delicate lips with his fingertip and chuckled softly. “My wife is so smart. I’ve really found myself a treasure.”
‘My young wife is truly a little treasure.’
