Chapter 514

Author: Light Breeze
At dusk, a black RV rolled to a slow stop. The backseat door opened, and Sawyer casually pulled Maisie into his arms.

Eleanor shook her head. She knew she couldn't stop it, and didn't bother trying.

She and Willow left.

The night breeze, soft in the twilight, brushed their faces and carried the sweet scent of osmanthus.

Sawyer slipped an arm around Maisie's slender waist and asked in a low voice, "Have you spent the whole afternoon drinking coffee?"

Maisie held up the book in her hand. "Read half of this."

He took it from her, glancing at the cover—a romance novel. He shot her a sidelong look. "Trying to learn how to fall in love? You don't need this. I can teach you."

Maisie's face flushed. "That's not it. I was just killing time."

Then, as if something had just occurred to her, she said, "I saw Gloria in the lounge. Is she really with Greg now?"

Sawyer flipped through the book with his long fingers, answering with indifference, "What else would it be? How else could she affo

    The idea of getting a marriage license took root in Maisie's heart.After New Year's, Sawyer became much busier. Eleanor wanted to complete the handover to him within two years so that he could officially take over as the CEO of Ascent Group.But before that, he had to achieve results in all aspects to earn the shareholders' full confidence. Sawyer was more than capable and consistently delivered results, which pleased Eleanor.Maisie had expressed her desire to study in Eboris, and everyone looked at Sawyer for his opinion. As long as he agreed, it was fine.Dexter and Eleanor completely let go of the matter. That was probably the benefit of the two being childhood sweethearts. They knew Sawyer well, and he was someone they trusted completely.Maisie's plans for studying abroad had been decided. She'd likely be leaving at the end of summer, so she treasured the time she had left with Sawyer.As for what would happen after she went to Eboris, Sawyer never brought it up, and she d

    Maisie quickly covered her chest, her face betraying her thoughts as she stammered, "Nothing! I wasn't looking at anything."Sawyer didn't tease her further. He slid his hand under the blanket and began massaging her calf. "Let's go see the ice sculpture exhibit today. This year's pieces are supposed to be quite interesting."As long as it didn't involve skiing, Maisie was all on. Her eyes lit up. "Sure. Go out for a second. I'll get changed."Now that they were deeply in love, why would she need to lift a finger? Sawyer scooped her up effortlessly and carried her into the dressing room.With one arm wrapped around her waist, he picked out her outfit with the other. He chose a long, plain white down jacket, then added a cashmere scarf over it, soft and cozy.Maisie poked her little face out from the scarf and complained, "Sawyer, I can barely see anything."Sawyer chuckled and cupped her cheeks in his hands, planting a kiss on her lips. "Go wash up. I'll tidy up the bed."Maisie

    Sawyer never imagined that Maisie would want to study in Eboris. For years, aside from his studies and career, his only dream was to marry her young. Marrying Maisie had always been one of the most important goals in his life, but now, she was telling him she wanted to study in Eboris.After a long silence, Sawyer's Adam's apple bobbed. "How long will you be gone?"Maisie knew that he was upset, but he was holding it in. She knew that this wasn't the best time to bring up such disappointing news, but even more than that, she knew she couldn't hide it. She didn't want this to turn into a bigger conflict down the line.She lowered her head, resting her delicate face against his shoulder as she whispered, "Three years."Three years. Fortunately, it was only for three years. But still, that was over a thousand days and nights apart. Sawyer was silent for a long time before asking softly, "Can't you just study here? If you don't like the universities in Brindley, there are other cit

    Maisie got out of bed and ran to the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window barefoot. Pressing her palm against the glass, she gazed out at the night view.Suddenly, flashes of intimate moments came rushing back to her. Her cheeks flushed red, and she pulled her hand away from the window.Sawyer walked in, His footsteps were so light that Maisie didn't notice him at all. He hugged her from behind and gently buried his face in her hair, inhaling her scent. He said gently, "Wash up and come out for breakfast. Room service just arrived."Maisie snuggled in his arms, savoring this moment. But there was something on her mind. Her application to study at a certain architectural college in Eboris had been approved. She'd just received the news after New Year's, but she didn't know how to bring it up to Sawyer.Now, in such a soft and quiet moment, she wanted to tell him. But before she could speak, Sawyer had already carried her out of the room.The lights in the living room of the suite we

    Inside the car, Maisie turned her head to look at Sawyer but didn't say a word.Her hand was gently caught by his.Sawyer's voice came low and rough. "She won't show up in your life again."He knew girls like Gloria all too well.They relied on their looks, always kept one last card hidden—never willing to burn the bridge completely. Worst case? They ended up as someone's kept woman. And those men? Rarely like Greg—young and handsome. Most were middle-aged, pushing 40.How much they could squeeze out of them depended on their skill.Maisie said nothing.She didn't speak up for Gloria, but she didn't badmouth her either. Just like Sawyer had said, someone like Gloria had never belonged in her world to begin with.The sleek black luxury RV rolled quietly toward the apartment. Inside, the space was silent.All that lingered was the light, sweet-smelling scent on Maisie's skin.It was the scent of Sawyer's ten-year-long yearning.…Later, Gloria really did vanish, as if erase

    Now, that bastard Greg had found someone new to pamper.Gloria swallowed her pride and forced herself to speak, holding back her anger. "Greg… Can we talk?"Greg helped his new girlfriend into the car and then turned to Gloria with a cold, detached stare. He pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and took a slow drag—completely indifferent."Gloria, I've been with more women than I can count, but I've never met one as stupid as you. You were living off my money, eating from my hand, and you still had the nerve to go after Sawyer behind my back? "You tried to challenge Maisie? Do you even know what the hell you're doing? You just cut off my money pipeline, that's what. You think I care whether you actually liked me? Whether you sleep around? "Hell no. I was just spending a little more to keep a high-end escort around. Jealousy and drama? Just jokes to me. But you managed to piss off the one person you shouldn't have touched. "Maisie's last name is Ziegler. Do you
