Chapter 455
The kids felt Stephen was right. Besides, if their parents were really having a fight, then Nolan wouldn’t have come here to have dinner with them.
The kids decided to stay for a night after they finished their dinner. Stephen brought the kids back to their rooms to tell them bedtime stories. At the same time, he wanted to leave some personal space for Maisie and Nolan.
Maisie was cleaning the table and doing the dishes in the kitchen while Nolan watched on. He clenched his fists multiple times, and then he walked into the kitchen.
He rolled his sleeves up and said, “Let me help you.”
Maisie was stunned. Before she could make any response, Nolan had taken the plate in her hand away.
Maisie remained standing, frozen stiff on the spot. She said with her head lowered, “Are you doing this for the kids?”
His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he replied, “Yeah.”
Maisie broke into laughter. “How long do you think we can keep this up?”
Nolan froze, but he did not say anything.
Biting her lower lip, Maisie turned around and said, “If you want to stay here, I’ll give the room to you, and I’ll
explain to the kids.”
Nolan clutched at the plate in his hand tightly. After she left, the only sound left in the large kitchen was the sloshing of the running water.
When Maisie came out of the bathroom, she saw Nolan was sitting on the bed with a gloomy face.
Just when she was about to leave the room, Nolan stopped her by grabbing at her wrist.
Dumbfounded, Maisie turned her head to look at him.” You…”
“We’re still husband and wife before we get divorced” Nolan said. After that, he let go of her, rose to his feet, and walked past her. “I’m going to take a bath.”
Maisie’s face sank.
‘We’re still husband and wife before we get divorced?’
It seemed to her that he was determined to get a divorce with her. Judging from this, she did not have the confidence that she could change his mind.
At night, Maisie slept with her back facing Nolan.
They were sleeping on the same bed, but it felt as if there was a big gap between them, and none of them dared to cross the line.
