Semua Bab Leaving You Bereft: Bab 521 - Bab 530

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

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

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

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

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
