Chapter 1208

As soon as Maisie finished speaking, she saw everyone was looking at them with an incredulous gaze.
She had the urge to find a hole and bury herself in it for a moment.

Nolan giggled and looked at her meaningfully. “So does this mean that you don’t mind if it were other
women and not Willow?”

Maisie used her spoon to stir the soup and said exasperatingly, “It’s okay if you want to try it now.”

“Okay,” Nolan replied plainly. “I’ll try it after I finish the meal.”

Maisie felt that Nolan was trying to make her angry, so she did not say anything anymore after that.
When they returned to the Blue Bay villa, Maisie got out of the car and slammed the door shut when
the car came to a stop in the courtyard. As soon as Nolan got off the other side of the car and dusted
his jacket, she crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, “I thought you’re going to taste
something new, so why are you getting out of the car, Mr. Goldmann?”

He smiled at her and replied, “Nah, I think it’s better for me to stay at home and accompany my wife.”

Maisie turned around and headed into the villa.

While she was changing her shoes in the doorway, Nolan hugged her from behind and whispered into
her ear, his hot breathing ticking her skin, “Are you angry with me now, Zee?” Maisie could feel
goosebumps breaking out on her skin. She pushed him away lightly and said, “Of course not. How is
there any possibility that I would be mad at you, Mr. Goldmann?”

I’m sure you are,” he said as he kissed her ear.

Maisie grabbed his wrist and pushed him backward, pinning him on the wall.



Nolan chuckled and freed himself from her easily. He grabbed her in his arms and said, “Are you going
to hit your husband, Zee?”

“Let’s have a fight.” Maisie wrapped her arms around him.

Nolan scooped her up from the floor and said, “Let’s go back to the room and fight.” By the time Tanner
returned to the apartment, he saw Pearl was packing her stuff. She glanced at Tanner and continued to
fold her clothes slowly. “I don’t need other things, so I’m leaving them to you.”

She would only take away those things that she had brought. She didn’t want things that did not belong
to her, even if they were gifts from Tanner.

Leaning against the door, Tanner said after a long while. “I’m sorry.”



Pearl closed the suitcase and rose to her feet. “I’m afraid I’m not the one you should be apologizing to.”

She pulled the suitcase and went closer to Tanner. “Can you move over?”

However, Tanner did not move away. He looked at her and said, “I’ll give you an explanation.” “Are you
pitying me?” There was no emotion in Pearl’s eyes. They were so calm as if they were lakes without a
ripple.

Tanner fell silent.

Pearl then added, “What’s done is done.

She’s having your baby, so the one who you should be responsible for is her and not me.”

She reached out for the door handle, opened the door, and exited the room. Just when she arrived in
the living room, Tanner came out and grabbed her wrist. ‘Let’s talk.”



Pearl did not reply.

Tanner turned her over and said, “It’ll only take 10 minutes.”

Pearl seemed to be looking at him but also seemed to be looking elsewhere.

Shoot,” she said.

Tanner took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry about the wedding. I shouldn’t put you and both our
families in a difficult position.” He grabbed her shoulders and tightened his grip. “It’s my fault for letting
Sandy get pregnant. She’s emotionally unstable, so I couldn’t leave her alone at the wedding.” Pearl’s
eyes were glazed over. Her gaze appeared to be unable to focus any longer, and the man in front of
her became blurred. She seemed to be listening, but Tanner couldn’t be sure. No matter what Tanner
said, she was indifferent



After Tanner finished talking, she lifted her head and asked, “Are you done?”

“In any case, I’ll compensate you.” He paused for a moment. “Honestly, you don’t have to move away.
You can consider this house a gift from me.”

Pearl pushed his hand away. “But I don’t want it.”

Tanner shouted upon hearing that, “Pearl! What else do you want me to do?”

Pearl pressed her lips and smiled. She looked at him and said, “You don’t have to do anything. Our
marriage is done. You don’t have to put on a disguise like you did before. Starting from now on, you
can be yourself.”
