“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
Yorrick nodded, “Alright, let’s have a few drinks at night.”…Xyla had a night scene and ended the shooting around 11:30 p.m. She was exhausted because that was the first time she felt that movies weren’t as relaxed as series. Mindy sent her home, and once she drove off, Xyla’s phone started ringing. She was curious who was calling her so late and when she took a look, it was… Yorrick?Hadn’t he blocked her?She picked up. “What can I do for you so late at night, Mr. Hathaway?”He said something that Xyla didn’t hear and thought something had happened to him. “Hello!”“Is that Ms. Mayweather?” The bodyguard picked up, “I’m sorry for bothering you so late. Where are you? Mr. Hathaway is drunk and won’t leave. The bar is closing, and I’m out of ideas. Could you come to help us, please?”Xyla pushed her hair out of her face and chuckled. “He’s drunk, and I need to help him?”The bodyguard was out of ideas. “Mr. Hathaway insisted on calling you. I’m sure he’ll leave if you come
Yorrick sat up and put the back of his hand to his forehead, then leaned back on the seat. When they got to the hotel, Xyla helped him into the room. Just when she was going to put him to bed, he pulled her down with his body weight, and she fell on him.Her lips grazed his nose, and she froze. His warm alcoholic breath blew onto her cheek, and she beamed at the man who was under her with his eyes closed. She tried to get up, but an arm pulled her back into his arms. She was stunned, and her heart skipped a beat.Yorrick slowly opened his eyes and smiled drunkenly, “I’m drunk.”“What… What does getting drunk have anything to do with me?” Xyla tried to get up again, but he held her tight with his arm, and she locked eyes with him.Yorrick looked drunk, but he might not be. “Xyla, I’m troubled by you sometimes.”Xyla was startled. “What? Troubled?Yorrick cupped her cheek and smiled. His alcoholic breath got in her face. “Yes, troubled by you because you’re everywhere. I don’t
Xyla smiled meekly, but there was no joy in her eyes, “I’m 29, almost 30. Isn’t that normal?”She got into the van.Mindy brought a glass of warm water and watched her drink it, “Xy, I don’t think you should be doing any one-night stuff. Your reputation would be ruined if the paparazzi caught you.”Xyla put the glass down and smiled. “I wouldn’t do too badly if it was with a high-class tycoon.”Mindy’s face dropped. …Xyla hadn’t met Yorrick for a week. Her final scene was today, and she would say goodbye to the crew after that.She walked to the car with the flowers from the crew in her arms. Mindy was opening the door for her when she saw a man waiting inside. She was surprised.Xyla immediately blocked her face with the bouquet and looked at Mindy, “Why is he— Ah!”Xyla was pulled into the car and into his arms. Yorrick motioned at Mindy to close the door. After a brief moment, Mindy closed the door.Xyla lowered her head and played with the petals, “How can I help you,
Ryleigh waved to them and walked toward Louis after they left. “Are you waiting for me?”Louis looked at her. “Who else would I be waiting for.” He raised his hand and played with her ponytail. She was smiling widely. “I guess the performance went well.”Ryleigh turned away and was proud for a moment, “There’s nothing that I can’t handle.”Louis pinched her cheek and chuckled. “What do you want for dinner?”Ryleigh took his arm. “I want some roasted chicken, lemon duck, roasted beef, and—”“Why are they all meat?”“I’m craving meat!” Her expression was fierce.Louis looked at her and glanced at her belly. “Oh, do you think you’re…”She paused. “What?”Louis pressed his palm to her belly with a smile. “What do you think?”Ryleigh slapped his hand away. “No way!”He chuckled and pulled her into his arms. “Barbara is pregnant now, so we can’t be too far behind, right?”She choked, then mumbled, “That’s not what I alone can do…”Louis kissed her cheek. “Are you trying to say t
Mindy looked at her. Xyla was in sportswear and seemed to be practicing her dance moves. Her neck was covered in sweat, and she had a high ponytail on with a bandana, sweat dripping down the side of her brows.“What’s going on?” Xyla curiously looked at Mindy, who was standing at the door, and suddenly froze because of the man who showed up next to Mindy. The door was blocked. Xyla looked at Mindy, who looked down. “I’m sorry Xy, I… You take care.”She escaped! Before Xyla could say anything, Yorrick pushed her inward and closed the door.“Yorrick, this is my home. I might just report you for trespassing!” Xyla pushed him, and he took two steps backward. Unexpectedly, he pulled her into his arms, turned around, and pressed her against the door. “Do it.”He put a finger to her lips and smiled. “I want to report you too.”She gulped. “For what?”Yorrick approached. “Ms. Mayweather didn’t pay me for s*x.” He grabbed her chin and raised her head. “Let’s go to the station and se
Xyla leaned backward flirtatiously. Yorrick had never seen this side of her before. Then, he heard her saying, “If I become your woman, will I be the only one? Or I have to fight with other women and wait for you to summon me like what the emperor in ancient times would do?”Yorrick pressed his tongue against the back of his teeth and chuckled. “You want to be the only one?”She clicked her tongue and collected her hair at the back. “I don’t like to share my belongings with other people.”He repeated, “Do you want to do it?” She turned her face sideways. “No, I don’t want to.”The smile on Yorrick’s face slowly faded away. He looked at her for a while before rising to his feet. He loosened his tie and asked again, “Are you sure about that?”“Yes, I’m sure about that. I’ll still give you the same answer no matter how many times you ask me,” Xyla replied defiantly.“Alright.” He gazed at her deeply and said, “You’ll come to look for me.”After that, he opened the door and left.
“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
