Chapter 1238

Author: Ginger Bud
Francisco sat near the fire and added wood to it, then looked back at Naomi, who was leaning against the stonewall. She was curled up, hugging her legs as if she was freezing.

He stood up, walked over, squatted down in front of her, and touched her forehead. It wasn’t burning, so she probably had a low fever.

He stood back up, took the dried jacket, wrapped it around her, and pulled her into his arms.

Naomi was surprised. Maybe she was feeling very cold, but the moment when she was in his arms, she felt warm and comfortable.

“You’ll feel better after you sleep.” He gently pressed her head toward his chest.

Naomi listened to his voice and felt his heartbeat, then suddenly smiled. “Just like a dream.”

Francisco looked down. “What dream?”

Naomi felt like she was floating, put her arms around his waist, and snuggled. “I like…”

Francisco heard her mumble the rest of the sentence and beamed. After a moment, he whispered, “What do you like?”

Naomi’s breath slowed, and he smiled aft

    Maisie walked over and put her hand on Ryleigh’s shoulder. “Don’t worry about Naomi. Francisco won’t do anything to her.”“Zee, you and Barbara are acting so weird today.” Ryleigh moved her hand away as she realized something. “Why does it feel like you know something that I don’t?”Louis coughed. “You’re just not thinking far enough.”Ryleigh stomped on his foot which made him take a sharp breath. He had to endure that because she was his wife. Nolan hugged Maisie by her shoulders. “Alright, it’s getting late. We should all get some rest. They’ll come back tomorrow morning.”The two of them went back into their tent, followed by Barbara and Helios.Ryleigh held onto Louis. “Tell me what is happening.”Louis hugged her. “Little lady, I’ll tell you when we’re back in the tent.”Ryleigh frowned. “Don’t lie to me.”Louis helplessly said, “I won’t.”The night grew darker, and the moon peeked out from behind the dark clouds.Morning broke, and the fire was out.Naomi slowly ope

    ’This question again.’Naomi looked at him. “Do I need a reason?”Francisco smiled. “Do you know me well enough? How can you admire me if you don’t know me? Are you not afraid that I might be a bad person?”Naomi looked down and slowly said, “I know you’re not.”Francisco ran his finger over her lips. “How did you come to that conclusion? Do you feel safe when you’re around me?”She frowned, a little confused. “You’re so innocent.” Francisco stared at her. “You’re not careful enough with men. If it were other men, do you think you could be safe staying with a guy?”Naomi pressed her lips together. “But you're not them.”“I’m not, but it was because I suppressed my feelings.” He let go and sat up with his back facing her. “You need to be more careful with men.”He stood up and walked to where the fire was to pick up his jacket and put it on, then looked out at the sky. “The sun is up. Let’s head back.”Naomi looked down. If he weren’t going to be with her, why did he kiss her

    “Yes.” Naomi smiled and nodded before taking the seat opposite Mr. Roswald.He studied her and smiled. “What a surprise. I didn’t expect you to be so… elegant, Ms. Xavier. I thought…”“You thought what?”Mr. Roswalrd chuckled and continued. “After all, you don't look much like your mother described.”Naomi nodded. Something crossed Mr. Roswald, and he picked up the menu. “Do you want to eat something? Feel free to order anything you want.”She was stumped for a moment before replying with a smile, “No, thank you. I’ve already eaten. I came here only because you said you wanted to see me.”“I see. So, would you like something to drink?” Mr. Roswald asked again.Unable to turn down his offer, Naomi ordered a cup of coffee.While he was having his meal, he asked about her work. Since Naomi worked in Soul as well, she was familiar with it. After they had finished talking, Mr. Roswald seemed rather satisfied with her as he said, "It truly surprises me that you're very serious in you

    Mr. Roswald stretched his hand and caressed the back of her hand.Naomi was stunned and frowned while he continued. “I'm sure it'll work out anyway. I need a decent and wise wife like you, Ms. Xavier.”Naomi suddenly pulled her hand out and said, “I’m sorry, but I already have someone I like.”Mr. Roswald’s expression changed, and he pulled her hand away. “You have a man you like? So? What's the big deal? Are you guys dating? Are you married? If your parents know about your relationship, will they approve of it?”Naomi was startled. She tried to pull her hand out of his grip but to no avail. Her face turned grim as she warned, “Mr. Roswald, please let go of my hand.”“Ms. Xavier, I really like you. I liked you from the first moment I saw you.“ Mr. Roswald pulled her hand and landed a kiss on it, causing goosebumps to erupt over her skin.Naomi felt disgusted and pulled her hand out of his grip. She rose to her feet and said, “Please mind your manners, Mr. Roswald!”The rest of t

    Naomi was momentarily stunned. Her eyelashes were trembling as she said, “I have no idea either. I don’t know what our relationship is right now. Besides, you don't take our relationship seriously, do you?“Although I've never been in a relationship before, I know kissing between men and women represents the intimacy of a relationship. But we're not that kind of relationship. Well, maybe for you, we are not.”Francisco did not know whether he should be laughing or be angry right now. He stood as stiff as a ramrod in front of her and asked, “So, you think that the thing between us is just a game for me?”“Is there a difference?” Naomi’s eyes turned red, looking just like a rabbit that had just gotten bullied. “Yes, it is.” Francisco placed his hand on the wall beside her as he leaned closer. “If this were just a game for me, I wouldn’t kiss you. I’d just have s*x with you.”Naomi was so terrified that she froze in place. She looked at him fixedly as he went even closer to her. A d

    When Naomi did not reply, Francisco cocked his head to look at her. “You don’t want to go on a date with me?”“Of course, I want to go on a date with you…” Naomi froze for a moment and asked, “Are we in a relationship now?”Francisco tightened his grip and pulled her closer into his arms. “Really? This is the question you have for me? You really are more ignorant than I thought you were.”Naomi looked at him, and a smile appeared on her face.The next day, at Soul…“Thank you for yesterday, Naomi. My mom told me that guy called her and said we were not suitable. He even apologized to my mom, and my mom was shocked,” Lucy said, expressing her gratitude to Naomi.Naomi replied with a smile on her face, “It’s fine. I should thank you instead.”“Thank me?” Lucy was confused. “Why are you thanking me?”Naomi lowered her head. She had been feeling different since yesterday.Looking at the smile on Naomi’s face, Lucy said, “Look at you, grinning like a Chesire cat. You aren’t in love

    Naomi pressed her lips thin.Anthony looked at the box of snacks in her hand and frowned deeply. “Nelly, is that… Francisco?”Naomi’s heart skipped a beat, and she became nervous. However, she did not dare to hide it from her father and confessed everything. “Yeah. I’m sorry, Dad. I should’ve told you earlier.”“When did it start?”“Yesterday…”“That’s not what I’m asking. I want to know when you two started seeing each other.” Anthony frowned.“About a month ago…” she replied. “Dad, you told me that you won't interfere with my relationship. I like him very much.”Anthony took a deep breath and said seriously, “Yes, I did tell you before that I wouldn’t interfere with your relationship, but it depends on who you’re seeing. Nelly, Francisco isn’t suitable for you.”“Dad, I know he has a bad reputation, but I don’t care about his past,” Naomi replied. This was the first time she went against her father.Upon realizing how much his daughter liked Francisco, Anthony’s face turned

    Nolan took a bowl, fetched himself some soup, and laughed out loud. “I don’t expect you to cook anymore. You’re the one who’s going to make money and feed me.”Maisie took the soup bowl and chuckled. “It’s very expensive to feed a CEO.”Nolan was about to say something when his cell phone rang. He narrowed his eyes and answered the call when he saw the caller ID. “What’s the matter?”The other party said something to him through the call, and he responded with a light hum. “I’ll be there tonight.”When the call ended, Maisie looked at him. “What’s wrong?”Nolan’s lips curled slightly. “There’s a gathering tonight, and your classmate will also be there.”Maisie knew who he was talking about and clicked her tongue. “My classmate? Isn’t he your cousin too?”Nolan became even more amused. “He’s also your cousin.”As night fell, the city became decorated with lights. The VIP Room #1 of the hotel’s restaurant was filled with well-known figures in the field. As the Cliffords expanded

    “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
