Maisie picked up the contract from the ground, kicked off her stilettos without any regard for her image, and chased after the man while shouting, “Stop running! He’s a thief!”The man was swerving about recklessly at the front while Maisie was chasing him from the back. Just when the man turned around to taunt Maisie, he was kicked to the ground by the woman who rushed over to Maisie.The woman stepped forward and picked up the purse. Enraged, the man got up from the ground and pulled out a knife to stab the woman. The woman evaded his attack and twisted his wrist. The knife dropped to the ground, and she hurriedly followed up with a punch to his face. As the man fell to the ground in pain, the woman pinned him down and called the police.It was only then Maisie arrived. As she huffed and puffed heavily, she took over the bag the woman handed to her. “Thank you.”When she lifted her head, she was stunned. She felt the woman in front of her was familiar. Suddenly, Maisie remembered
When Mindy heard their conversation, she looked at Xyla. However, Xyla seemed like she did not listen to what they were talking about at all.She sighed and walked toward Xyla. “Xyla, what’s going on between you and that person?”Until today, Mindy still did not understand everything that that person had said last time.‘Deal? Xyla isn’t suitable to continue the act with him? Could it be that their relationship is fake?’Xyla lifted her head and said, “Why are you so interested in the things between us?” Xyla reached out for the fruit tea on the table and took a sip. “In any case, I’ve been single since day one.”Mindy was shocked, “So he’s another j*rk?”‘J*rk, huh?’Xyla wanted to say that Yorrick was not a j*rk, but it was a truth that he had a lot of female partners. However, he did not flirt with all women as well. He was rather picky when it came to women, and he had a set of principles that he would follow.Mindy squatted next to Xyla and whispered, “Xyla, let’s find a
Xyla lifted her head and offered Marione a smile, “You know me the best, Marione.”Howard lifted the glass and said, “Alright, alright. Our food is getting cold. Let’s eat while we talk.”The rest of the people lifted their glasses and offered each other a toast. The dinner lasted for two hours. Everyone had drunk some wine, and they had a lot of fun together.Xyla was able to hold her liquor, but when she reached her limit, she would get light-headed.She tripped herself when she was walking toward the entrance, and Howard hurriedly went forward to support her. “You’re not drunk, are you?”She waved her hand and said, “Yeah, don’t worry. I’m still sober.”Howard grabbed her shoulder. “Let me send you back.”Before Xyla could say anything, another hand pulled her away from Howard’s hand out of nowhere. She stumbled a few steps back and fell into the incoming man’s arms. “She doesn’t need you to send her back.”Xyla was momentarily stunned before she lifted her head to look at t
Xyla froze in place, and her gaze was fixed on his neck. And when the bodyguard made a turn at an intersection, Xyla lost balance and threw herself in his arms.Throughout the whole chaotic disarray, she kissed his skin with her lips, leaving a lipstick mark behind, and Yorrick’s eyes dimmed immediately.Seeing that they were already starting to kiss, the bodyguard got the message and accelerated even more.Xyla propped her arms against his body, got herself up, saw the lipstick mark, and quickly wiped it off for him. “I’m sorry, I have lipstick on.”Yorrick grasped her wrist. “Are you kidding me?”“Why should I kid you?” Xyla felt a lot dizzier all of a sudden and covered her mouth.Yorrick realized something instantly and grabbed her by the shoulders immediately. “Xyla, you better hold it back—”She vomited on his pants.Yorrick’s expression dimmed in a matter of seconds. He turned his face away and lowered the window to dissipate the strong smell in the car.When they arriv
Xyla placed her fingertips on his lips and slowly slid her finger down before approaching him with her lips. “Mr. Hathaway, didn’t you say that I can’t do kissing scenes? If that’s so, can you teach me how to do it properly?”Yorrick held her hand, and his Adam’s apple rolled as he gulped. “Get off my bed.”“Mr. Hathaway, are you telling me you don’t want it?” Xyla approached him and kissed his chin lightly. Her winking eyes looked extremely seductive, and the silky and attractive black hair wrapped around his arm.Yorrick turned over and trapped her under him in between his four limbs. “I won’t hold myself responsible for the night.”Xyla raised her eyebrows, giggled, stretched out her arms, and hugged him. “I won’t need that from you either.”He lowered his head and kissed her lips, and strong thoughts flooded his mind in an instant. He wanted to gravely punish her, letting her know that this was the price that she had to pay for seducing him.Their bodies intertwined and entan
Mr. Donnell had a very strong opinion against actors who used stand-ins while filming, so Xyla acted in the scene personally, but she had gone through a few NG shots ever since the crew started filming.However, Mr. Donnell did not get angry but enlightened her patiently instead. “Xyla, you should let your concerns go and just act. It’s been so long since you’ve joined the crew, and I have faith in your acting.”“I’m sorry, Mr. Donnell. I’ll make some adjustments to my emotions.” Xyla was really nervous. After all, this scene was the boldest and the most open scene that she had in this film.Although she had already mentally prepared herself multiple times for the scene, she was not really sure when it was time for her to act.The director started the next shoot, but in order to make Xyla perform better, he had decided to clear all the staff members out of the studio, leaving only a few videographers there.Xyla went into the water again and managed to dance gracefully when the l
“Is our daughter dating the investor of their film? Why are there so many rumors going around when I recently visited the crew?” Mrs. Mayweather was sitting on a chair next to the bed and peeling an apple. She was really curious and kicked Mr. Mayweather, motioning him to answer the questions.Mr. Mayweather responded helplessly, “You don’t have to care whether it’s true or not. We’ll know that when you ask our daughter about it when she wakes up.”Mrs. Mayweather reached out and placed a sliced apple next to his mouth. “Can’t you see that I’m curious? You should go and ask around the industry to see if that gentleman is married, how many people are there in his family, and how many girlfriends he has had in the past. If they’re really dating each other, then we do have to feel happy for our daughter, don’t we?”Mr. Mayweather ate the apple that his wife cut for him and laughed. “Alright, my wife is always right. Okay, I’ll go and ask around some other day.”Mrs. Mayweather placed
Louis was momentarily stunned. He then nodded and grabbed Ryleigh’s hand. “Okay, we’ll travel to Stoslo to visit Grandpa in the short future.”Ryleigh approached him and asked in a low voice, “Is your grandfather fierce?”Louis smiled and put on his serious look in an instant. “He’ll definitely give you h*ll if you’re a disobedient girl.”“Tsk! How dare you scare your own wife?” Larissa clicked her tongue and comforted Ryleigh after saying that. “Don’t worry. His grandfather won’t give you any h*ll. Louis would be the one to suffer his wrath even if something were to go terribly wrong.”Ryleigh smiled and nodded.…It was already very late in the night when Xyla returned home from the hospital. She went back to her room, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling.The scene in which Yorrick kissed her flashed across her mind as if it was a roll film.‘He’s really good at kissing, so good that I still can’t get my mind off it.‘Tsk, he’s definitely a player.’She sat up irritab
“Daisie.” Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. “You look so pretty today.”“Thank you,” Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. “I propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.”Daisie clinked glasses with her. “Same goes for you and Morrison.”After the toast, Cameron walked up to Daisie with Waylon. Behind them were Freyja, Colton, Maisie, and Nolan.Maisie raised her hand and caressed her on the cheek. “You were great earlier today.”She giggled. “Really?”Nolan added, “You’ll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.”Daisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. “Dad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisie’s hand.”“Consider yourself lucky.” Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. “You’d better treat my daughter well from now on.”Nollace glanced at Daisie. “Don’t worry. She’ll forever be my one and only.”Maisie chuck
In order to make way for the wedding carriage, other vehicles had been forbidden from accessing the route from the palace to the cathedral.Daisie looked out of the carriage—the streets were crowded with citizens, and they were all there to witness this grand scene.Nollace, sitting on the side, was wearing a double-breasted dark blue military jacket. He looked tall and broad, and there were two St. Patrick’s Stars on his epaulets, one on each side, a full set of medals on his chest, and other complicated decorations.He held the back of Daisie’s hand and smiled suddenly. “You have sweaty palms.”Daisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, “I’m nervous.”He lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I’m here, so don’t be nervous. Just take it easy.”Daisie’s gaze landed on his wedding jacket. “You look nice in this uniform.”Nollace chuckled. “And my bride looks stunning too.”Arriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
“By the way, where’s Cameron?” asked Morrison.Waylon replied, “She’s accompanying her father on a stroll. I’m going to go meet them already, so I’ll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.”After saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. “He’s changed now that he has a wife.”“You’re speaking as if you haven’t changed.” Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. “Hey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.”Maisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. “Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. “Have you finished catching up?”“Of course. Didn’t you want to go to the Hathaways’ villa with Dad in the afternoon?”Nolan smiled. “I was waiting for you. We’re just going over to have a meal together.”Quincy walked up to Saydie’s side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. “Then I’ll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my mom’s jewelry company and design.”Nollace hugged her from behind. “You can do anything as long as you like it.”…The members of the Goldmanns arrived in Yaramoor two days before the wedding and stayed in the hotel arranged by Nollace. The royal family had reserved the entire hotel for receiving distinguished guests from Zlokova who came to attend the wedding.Members from the Bouchers and the Lucases showed up, and Sunny was also present.There were also some familiar faces from the Zlokovian entertainment industry. Hannah, Amy, James, and Charlie, who were close friends with Daisie, all came.Leah and Morrison were also on the invitation list.When Maisie came to the restaurant, the waiter led her into a private room.As soon as she saw the man sitting inside, she smiled and exclaimed, “Godfather!”Strix slowly turned around.She had not seen him for
The rest of the people laughed.The night came, and the entire city was shrouded in a mist of neon light. Daisie and Nollace returned to Taylorton after having their dinner.Her hair was wet as she got out of the shower. Nollace took over her towel and helped her to dry her hair.She sat in front of her dresser and looked at the person behind her through the mirror. There was a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said, “Nolly, I’m really looking forward to our wedding.”“Really?” Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. “I’m looking forward to it too.”“I can say that my life is perfect now, right? Since I can marry and walk down the aisle with the man I love the most.”He laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. “You know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.”Daisie turned her head around. “What are your wishes?”“Marry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.”She was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
“Yeah, it’s true,” replied Zephir.“It seems like you’ve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.” Naomi patted his shoulder. “I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.” He smiled at her but did not say anything.…Soon, it was the end of the month. Their vacation had come to an end, and they returned to Bassburgh.Maisie and Nolan were waiting for them in the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Daisie ran up to them. “Mommy! Daddy!”She hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. “You’re an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.”She smiled back at them and said, “But I know I’ll always be your kid in your eyes.”Maisie chuckled and looked at the other people. “It seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.”Freyja and Cameron went to look for their kids after they went into the house. Charm and her two cousins were staying in the same room. All of them were sl
Nollace looked at them. “What a coincidence.”“Morrison and I were here earlier than you guys,” said Leah. “We only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.”Daisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, “Then you should stay a few more days with us.”After Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. “She’s my sister-in-law, Freyja, and she’s my sister. Her name is Daisie.”“I’ve seen them before at your wedding,” said Morrison. “Your sister is my wife’s classmate. She has told me before.”“Since when did I become your wife? There’s a chance I may not marry you in the future,” said Leah.“We’re already engaged. If you don’t want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?” Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, “Engaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?” Leah cleared her throat and replied, “Well, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, “$10 for three chances.”“$10 for three chances only? That’s expensive,” commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, “I’m the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.” Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, “Let's just give him the money. It isn't easy for them to set up a stall here anyway, so let's have some fun.”After that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, “Please give us six hoops.”The stall owner gave her six hoops. She had her eyes set on a bracelet. Although she knew it was fake, it was rather beautiful. She held a hoop and threw it toward the bracelet.However, she did not get it.She threw another two hoops at the bracelet, but her attempts failed, much to her chagrin. She had only three hoops left.Seeing that Daisie was prepared to give up, Cameron took over the rest of the hoops in her hand and said, “Leave it to me.”She squinted and aimed at the bracelet. After that, she threw the hoop at it an
The night of the old town was silent. The air was filled with nothing but the humming of insects. There was a lamp hanging outside of the tent on the grass. The atmosphere was quiet. Daisie was tossing and turning in the sleeping bag as sleep just wouldn't come to her. Suddenly, an arm appeared across her waist as she was brought into a chest. “What’s the matter? You can’t sleep?”“Yeah…” She buried her head in his chest and said, “I want to go to take a leak, but I’m a little bit scared.”Nollace kissed her forehead and said, “I’ll go with you then.”Both of them came out of the tent. Nollace took a flashlight and led Daisie to a row of trees in the distance. Daisie turned her head and said, “You wait for me here.”Nollace nodded. “Just shout my name if you need anything.”She walked into the forest and stopped in front of a tree not far away from Nollace.After she had done her business, she hastily got out of the forest and held tightly to Nollace’s arm. “Alright, let’s go
