Chapter 322

Nolan followed Giselle's force and screamed again, but he didn't stop talking. "This is out of shyness and anger." While speaking, he raised his eyebrows a little, and leaned in closer to Giselle, "Sister, do you know what's the best way to forget someone?" Giselle ignored Nolan. She had finished applying the medicine for him, covered the ointment, and put away the cotton swabs. At this moment, Nolan put his hand on Giselle's shoulder, forcefully turned her face towards him. "Pay attention to the class." He said. Giselle wrote the word "annoyed" all over her face. "Are you done yet?" Nolan said, "Sister, you're so different from before. In the past, you used to be expressive, wearing all emotions on the face. Now why have you learned to evade?" Giselle glanced at him, "It's you who's blind. Can't you see how annoying you are to me right now?" Nolan deliberately said, "When said you're evading, you refuse to admit. You're clearly moved to the core." He pointed at his own face, "A top-tier superstar got a beating to take a stand for you, he didn't even care about his face. Any woman would have been unable to resist." Giselle took off Nolan's hand that was on her shoulder, genuinely admired his confidence. "Thank you," she said. Although it can hardly be said to be touching. But this thank you is sincere. Nolan could tell, and after laughing, he asked, "How come you're not the least bit curious about the method I just mentioned to forget someone?" The two of them were conversing as they moved towards the hospital exit. Nolan put on his mask and hat. At midnight, the hospital is scant of people, aside from medical staff, so nobody recognizes Nolan. Although Giselle isn't curious, Nolan is keen to talk. "New romance is always the best remedy. I think what you lack right now is a boyfriend, who can help you move on." Then, he cheekily volunteers, "Or you could beg me, and I would reluctantly help?" Unbearably noisy. Giselle lost her patience. "Nolan, do you see that someone is taking your photos over there?" Giselle suddenly pointed to one side. Nolan looked over, "Where, why can't I see?" Right as his words ended, the brim of his baseball cap was abruptly pulled down, with Giselle's palm landing on his forehead through the cap. "Nolan, you're really annoying." Despite being berated, Nolan appears happy, straightening his hat. "I just love to see you pissed off. It's quite lively." Giselle gives him an eyeroll, a resigned smile on her face. She's lived all these years, yet this is the first time she's encountered such an adversarial banter. Whenever Giselle smiles, she exudes an enchanting radiance, always making one's eyes light up. "Yes, that's right. You should smile more," Nolan says, "Look at you. Every time you see your ex-husband, your face sours. If people didn't know better, they'd think he owed you money." Sure enough, at the mention of Maverick, the smile on Giselle's face disappears. She said to Nolan, "Stop bringing him up." "I won't mention him again," Nolan assures, "What's the point in mentioning such a heartless man?" The wordy diatribe from Chen always fell on Nolan's deaf ears, but Maverick remained completely indifferent to it. To some extent, Nolan couldn't quite understand. After all, that time in St. Moritz, it appeared Maverick cared a lot about Giselle, took her into account... How could it be that in not even a year, things between them had turned out like this? However - To him, this might not be such a bad thing. Men have always been swayed by beauty. Nolan, upon seeing Giselle for the first time at the R Bar, thought she was incredibly beautiful. He wasn't the only one taken aback. Everyone in their group found Giselle stunning. Only when they encouraged Benson to ask for her WeChat did they find out she was already married. It was somewhat disappointing. Young men can be childish, always seeking attention. That's why he was always provoking Giselle. Giselle, on the other hand, was as fiery as a chili pepper. Yet, for some reason, Nolan was particularly drawn to this type of woman and couldn't help but stir up trouble. When Giselle left, his enthusiasm for skiing waned. He wouldn't exactly say he was pining for her. After all, she was married. But who could have predicted what happened next? He ran into Giselle in a foreign country, and she had just gotten divorced. Isn't this a golden opportunity? Nolan was actually very keen to experience a May-December romance. "Sis, have you ever considered getting a boyfriend? At your age, not being in love could disrupt your hormonal balance" Giselle retaliated with a swift kick to Nolan. "Shut up, no one will mistake you for a mute." Nolan showed no restraint, "Your mood swings so violently. It seems the signs are already there." Upon hearing this, before Giselle could react, Nolan quickly sidestepped. Unexpectedly, he did not notice a discarded ordinary can lying on the ground, almost tripping over it. Being relatively tall, he did not fall completely, but his sudden stumble looked absurdly comical. Giselle couldn't help but laugh. "Serves you right!" ... No sooner had the words left his mouth, when a dazzling light suddenly beamed over. Subconsciously, Giselle raised his hand to shield his eyes, and Nolan did the same, straightening up. After adjusting to the light, they finally could see the source. A black Maybach— With one glance, Giselle recognized the car; it was Maverick's. When they were at the clubhouse entrance earlier, he had emerged from this very same black Maybach. Giselle furrowed his brows. He did not understand the purpose of Maverick's sudden appearance here. Nolan seemed to realize something, walked to Giselle's side, and reached out to put his arm around her shoulder, lowering his voice and said, "Sister, don't be afraid, if he dares to come down and cause trouble, I dare to beat him up." Giselle didn't push Nolan away, and Maverick didn't get out of the car. Three people, one car. They stood still, like a silent confrontation. In the end, Giselle grasped Nolan's hand, taking him with her, and walked past the car expressionlessly. Upon reaching the intersection, Giselle hailed a car and got in together with Nolan. In the car, Giselle let go of Nolan's hand, "Don't misunderstand, just keeping up appearances," she said. Nolan didn't misunderstand, he was excited, "Sister, you have to remember me for such good things in the future." Giselle didn't respond, only asking for Nolan's address. Young as he was, Nolan was gentlemanly and let the driver send Giselle first. When Giselle got out of the car, Nolan leaned against the car window and said, "Sister, what you just did was brilliant." Giselle tugged at her lip, didn't say a word, waved goodbye to Nolan. Whether it was brilliant or not, she didn't know. All she knew was that she didn't want to be tormented by some emotions. Since Maverick thinks that she and Nolan are together, she decided to make it appear so in front of him. This way, he wouldn't keep showing up repeatedly in front of her to make his presence felt. Upon returning home, Giselle took off her clothes and entered the bathroom. She turned on the shower and took off her wristwatch. Looking at the grotesque pink scar snaking its way on her wrist, Giselle gave a soft, mocking laugh. Isn't it that people always tend to overthink? Often, women are like this, misinterpreting other people's actions, and deluding themselves into believing that it's because of love. But the truth is... Men are inherently flawed. Probably, Maverick couldn't accept that she moved on to someone new just half a year after their divorce. This hits hard on his masculine pride. Being so arrogant and self-righteous, he probably could not believe she could move on so quickly. That's why he sought to uncover the truth. Now, he should believe it. As for her, as long as she doesn't see him, she won't be affected.
