Chapter 745
Morgan fell silent for a while before saying, “Alright, then. Suit yourself. Do what you want to do.” After he
hung up the call Helios handed the phone back to Nina.
Nina looked at him and asked, “Mr. Wallace has a huge reputation in the entertainment industry. Even
the most top-tier celebrities wouldn’t dare to say no to him. If you reject him, wouldn’t he-”
“Don’t worry, I’ll explain to him afterward. Besides, the time limit the Bouchers gave me is almost up. I
can’t rely on my achievements in the entertainment industry to convince my family.” If Helios wanted to
part ways with his family, he first had to get recognition from his grandfather. In other words, he had to
get the investment project in Winston Island.
Meanwhile, Maisie threw a pillow and blanket on the floor. She turned to Nolan and said, “You’re going to
sleep here tonight.”
After that, she turned around and closed the door. Nolan was a tad slower. He tried to turn the doorknob,
but Maisie had locked the door from the inside. He leaned against the door and pleaded helplessly,

“Yes, I do. And I’d love to do it. ‘B*stard. You took advantage of your amnesia and thought I was meeting
with another guy, and now you still want to sleep with me? Go to hell!’
Maisie returned to her bed, took another set of bedsheets, and ignored Nolan.
She turned down the light beside the bed and lay down.
After a short while, Nolan stopped talking. When the susurration in the living room drifted into her ears,
she turned her head around and cast her gaze on the door that separated her and Nolan apart.
Well, I’ve already given him a pillow and a blanket.’
With that thought in her mind, she turned around and closed her eyes. Sleep came to her easily, and by
the time she woke up, it was already morning. Maisie came to the living room. Nolan was sleeping curled
up like a frozen shrimp on the couch. When she saw the blanket on the floor, her heart shuddered, and
she felt a bit sorry for him.
She picked the blanket up from the floor and laid it on top of him. When her finger touched his skin, she
found out that his body was cold
It was autumn right now. The air conditioner was operating, so…
‘Did he sleep like this for the whole night?
“Nolan…” Just when she was about to say something, Nolan turned around and secured her tightly in his
arms.
A surge of chilliness transferred from Nolan’s body to hers, and she forgot to break herself free from his
arms.
It seemed like Nolan had woken up, but at the same time, he also seemed like he was still fast asleep.
He did not open his eyes at all as he mumbled, “Cold…”
He tightened his arms subconsciously and turned around, causing Maisie to get sandwiched between
him and the couch. Nolan buried his face into her shoulder and mumbled, sounding like a kid asking for a
pat, “Hug me…” Maisie unconsciously stretched her arms forward and wrapped them around his body. In
the next second, Nolan cracked his eyes open, and a smile played around his lips. He had deliberately
thrown the blanket on the floor and turned down the air conditioner before Maisie woke up. His plan
worked, and it seemed to him that bracing himself against the cold blast of air from the air conditioner for

Maisie felt something was under her. She grabbed it, and it was the air conditioner remote control.
Maisie squinted her eyes dangerously. She turned her head around and saw Nolan was looking at her
nervously.
She kicked Nolan down from the couch and shouted, filling the entire living room with her voice, “Well,
well, well, Nolan. Do you think a trick like this will work on me? You’re dead!”
The atmosphere was tense as the four of them enjoyed their breakfast in a private room. Nolan was
sitting opposite Helios.
Both men had taken a punch each last night. It was just that compared to the wound at the corner of
Helios’ lips, the bruise on Nolan’s cheek was not that obvious.
Both of them had a dark expression etching on their faces as soon as they stepped into the private room.
They stared at each other gloomily, and it seemed as if they would get into a fight with each other should
anything go wrong.
