Chapter 497
Was Nolan willing to bet on it? He had already won the bet, anyway.
Maisie really wouldn’t have let Saydie harm him. If Nolan’s constant need to stick to her was terrible, what about her? She wanted to let go but wouldn’t, wasn’t that just as terrible?
The man behind her laughed. “I’m not confident, I just trust you.”
Nolan raised his hand and held her hand with his palm facing upward, He slipped his fingers between her fingers and held onto her hand, then lowered his voice. “I’m sorry, Zee.”
His tone was apologetic, remorseful, and cautious. If he hadn’t done so many things to make her leave three years ago, that accident might not have happened.
“What’s the point of apologizing?”
Maisie’s eyes turned dull, and she started laughing at herself. She retracted her hand, stood up, and walked aside, avoiding eye contact. “Dad is dead, so is Cherie. We lost our child too. If I hadn’t stood in the rain.”
“What child!?” Nolan gulped, shock and complicated feelings flashing across his amber eyes.
Maisie opened her mouth but didn’t say anything. He probably didn’t know about her pregnancy.
Nolan stood up, walked to her, and turned her around.” Zee, you were pregnant!?”
‘She was pregnant…
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Nolan’s face was as pale as a piece of paper.
Maisie looked at him and curled her lips but didn’t smile. “Have you forgotten? When you announced our divorce, I came to see you but you wouldn’t meet me.”
Nolan’s hand curled. He wanted to say something but ended up just pressing his lips together. His calm face started turning dark.
