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.
Announcing the divorce wasn’t his idea, but he knew about it.
Maisie smiled. “I waited for you in the rain for more than an hour, but you never agreed to see me.”
“Zee, I-”
“Nolan,” Maisie cut him off with a calm expression, ‘I wanted to hate you, but I couldn’t find a reason to. I
knew that you were not involved in any of that, but if you wete honest with me, none of this would have



happened, right?”
Nolan’s heart shuddered-it hurt. He didn’t know that she had come to see him or even that she had
waited for him in the rain for more than an hour.
All the hurtful things that he had said were to make her accept their divorce. However, after learning that
she had gotten in an accident, Nolan regretted it. He regretted asking for a divorce and letting her leave.
Sometimes, a decision that seemed small could trigger a huge event. He had even caused her to lose
her child, their child.

After Maisie calmed herself, she smiled. “Get Quincy to contact me when you have a plan about our
partnership.”
She looked at her watch, “Saydie is probably worried sick, I need to leave.”
Maisie left the study, but Nolan stood in the spot even after she left, like an anchor, unmoving.
Not long after that, Quincy walked 10 the study. “Mr. Goldmann”
“Did you know that she was pregnant?” Nolan asked without turning around, his eyes bloodshot.
Quincy paused and looked away with guilt in his eyes. “Yes.”
Nolan gnashed his teeth and turned around to look at him with anger and blame in his eyes. “Why didn’t
you tell me after that!?”
Quincy was put on the spot. It wasn’t because he didn’t want to tell him, but Titus had forbidden it,
because…
Titus had said that Nolan’s psychological burden would increase if he found out about it.
