Just moments ago, they'd been intimate. Maisie curled up in his arms and whispered softly, "It was probably last month, when you came to visit and we spent the night out. It was my safe period, so we didn't use protection, but I still got pregnant."Sawyer finally came back to his senses. He cupped her face gently, remaining silent for a while. A few seconds later, he made a decision. "I'll stay here until you finish your studies."As for work, he could handle things remotely. Nothing was more important than Maisie and their child.A month later, he would return to Brindley with Maisie and their baby. Then, they would hold the wedding as soon as possible.Even though it was snowing outside, the inside of the bedroom was warm like spring. Maisie lay on the bed like a little frog while his hand carefully touched her lower abdomen, searching for signs of life.Maisie gently cupped his head and murmured, "Sawyer, the baby is still tiny."Sawyer looked up at her, his eyes filled with
Sawyer was dressed in a suit, with only a long black down coat thrown over it. It was clear he'd just flown in straight from his inauguration banquet.He'd actually ditched the celebration thrown in his honor and taken a private jet straight to Rinkton. He truly loved Maisie. Sawyer narrowed his eyes. Beneath his surprise was a visible flash of irritation. If he remembered correctly, he'd already warned Gloria not to bother Maisie again. And yet, she showed up in Eboris.Before he could erupt, Gloria quickly explained herself. "I was here for business. I didn't come here looking for her. Mr. Hall, don't worry. I won't show up again."She gave a bitter smile. "In the past, I really didn't know my place."With that, Gloria gave a quick nod and left in a hurry. Sawyer didn't spare her another glance. He pushed open the café door and walked straight toward his wife, and sat down.She looked unbothered, sipping coffee as leisurely as ever. Sensing his gaze, she looked up with a smile
Sawyer picked her up, found a convenient spot, and then lost himself in her. After a month of being apart, how could he possibly hold back?Absence made the heart grow fonder, and Sawyer was still in his prime. Naturally, they went round after another. By the end of it, Maisie could barely catch her breath.The night was young, and there was no end to their longing. Thankfully, she had no classes the next day. The two indulged themselves all night.Sawyer was busy, but when he was in Eboris, he barely answered any work calls unless it was an absolute emergency. But when there were emergencies, Eleanor would usually take care of them for him. After all, his priority was to spend time with his wife.When the four-day break ended, Sawyer flew back to Brindley. And this continued for the next two years that Maisie lived in Eboris.In the third year, Sawyer officially took over Ascent Group, becoming the new CEO.It was still winter, and word came that it had started snowing in Brindl
At the end of summer, Maisie left for Eboris. Sawyer personally accompanied her and stayed for a week to help her settle in. Only after she had adapted did he return to Brindley.In the days that followed, both of them became incredibly busy. Sawyer had to take over Ascent Group, managing four departments on his own. Eleanor didn't go easy on him just because she loved him. Her training was relentless. Every month, Sawyer would spend his four days of leave to fly to Eboris. In reality, after deducting travel time, he only had about two full days with Maisie.When the first snow fell in Brindley, Sawyer flew to Rinkton. Once his private jet landed, he hailed a taxi straight to Maisie's apartment.The apartment was located in a prime area of Rinkton, covering 2200 square feet. Apart from the housekeepers' room and the living room, the rest of the space was dedicated to the master bedroom, totaling about 900 square feet, perfect for the newlyweds.When Sawyer arrived, Maisie was sti
Early in the morning, the first rays of sunlight shone into the hotel suite. Maisie found it dazzling, so she buried her face into Sawyer's chest, murmuring softly, "Sawyer, the sun is too bright. Can you close the curtains?"He leaned against the headboard lazily and reached for the remote. With a press of a button, the curtains slowly closed, plunging the room into darkness. Just like that, Maisie regretted her request.In the darkness, her newlywed husband became restless. She bit her lip and whispered, "Sawyer, you already had your fill last night."He chuckled and gathered her long black hair, and then breathed in the scent lingering on her neck. "That was yesterday. Today is a new day."He said it with a straight face. Maisie wrapped her arms around his neck and called out his name pitifully.Sawyer lowered his head, his voice gentle. "Say it again."Maisie refused to repeat it and instead clung onto him coyly. He didn't press her, lowering his head to kiss her. As they kis
Early the next morning, Sawyer drove Maisie back to the Hall residence to retrieve his documents. He told her not to get out of the car, but she made a face at him. "Mom and Dad know."Sawyer pinched her cheek. "I just like the thrill of sneaking around."Maisie was speechless. She sat in the car for about ten minutes before Sawyer returned. He handed her the documents and then stepped on the gas. He said spiritedly, "Let's go get our marriage license."Maisie had thought that it would just be the two of them getting the marriage license, but when they arrived at the city hall, she realized that members from both families were already there. Because of their special status, they were given a private room to handle the formalities.Tina even presented Maisie with a white bridal veil. Sawyer and Maisie changed into matching white shirts and took their wedding photos. At the best age of their lives, they had chosen each other.When they exchanged rings, Eleanor and Dexter shared a gl
