As for Waylon, they were not very worried about him. They were certain that he could fend for himself when he had to face the world alone. The only person they were worried about was Daisie.That incident with Lisa indeed had given Daisie a huge blow, but the good thing was that she herself had learned from her mistake.When Quincy came out with the five-layer cake, the kids all went forward to help him. Daisie put a birthday hat on Nicholas' head, and he laughed happily. Maisie felt relieved to see the happy atmosphere between the children and Nicholas.The birthday party only came to an end very late at night.Maisie and Nolan stood at the door and sent the guests off one after another. After that, they returned to the living room. There were a lot of expensive gifts for Nicholas in the living room, and amongst them, the parrot that Daisie prepared for him stood out the most.Thomas and Jackie stayed for one night. Jackie had returned to the guest room while the three kids h
When Ian was about to approach them, Lucy walked up to him and stood in front of him. “Mr. Saldana, I only wish to remind you that if you don’t have feelings for Elaine, please don’t waste her time.”Ian glanced at her and looked at Elaine, leaning against the back of the car's rear seat. “I know that.”Lucy turned sideways. Ian walked to the car, carried Elaine out of the car, turned his head around, and said to them, “Sorry to have bothered you.”He then carried Elaine to his car.Lucy looked at his back as they left worriedly, and Hector wrapped his arm around her shoulders. “Don’t worry. This is their issue. I believe they’ll be able to solve it by themselves.”Northbay Avenue, Southpark…Ian carried Elaine into the bedroom, laid her flat on the bed, supported the back of her head with his palm, and placed her head on a pillow.Elaine frowned. She then opened her eyes slowly when he was taking off her shoes for her and saw a silhouette vaguely. Her vision went from blurry to
Ian could not help but laugh out loud. “You seem drunker than last night after waking up.”“I... I should go brush my teeth.” Elaine pulled herself away from him and hurried back to the room.Elaine freshened herself up, went back to the dining table, and sat down at the table. Ian then fetched her a toast.She drank some tea first, which warmed her stomach, and then ate the full English breakfast.Something came to her mind all of a sudden. “How did I come to your place last night?”Ian looked at her. “I was looking for you last night.”She was startled. “You were looking for me?”He responded lightly, “Your sister answered the phone and said that you had gotten drunk.”“So she sent me here?”“I was the one who brought you here.”Elaine stopped eating and raised her head.‘He brought me here. What does that mean?’Elaine lowered her gaze. “Sorry to have caused you trouble.”He laughed. ”All I did was fetch my fiancee home. How is that counted as trouble?”‘His fiancee...
Zephir had already guessed it. “I know.”Daisie was dumbfounded for a few seconds. “You actually knew?”Zephir laughed. “I can still tell the difference.”Waylon lifted his eyelids. He had heard from Colton when he was abroad that this fellow was interested in their sister. “Nice to meet you, Young Master Gosling.”There was no expression on his face. He looked indifferent and cold.Zephir nodded out of basic courtesy. “I’ve heard about you since long ago, Young Master Goldmann, but this is my first time meeting you too. It’s my pleasure to meet you.”Daisie looked at them inexplicably as something just did not feel right between the two of them.Meanwhile, in the private room…“Jackie Clifford, what are you doing in my private room?”Jackie sat across from her with his legs crossed and stared at her expressionlessly. “You didn’t return to the Lovegoods but came to Bassburgh instead. Are you still planning to embarrass the Cliffords?”Violet laughed abruptly and leaned backwa
The waiter came into the room with the dishes, and Zephir glanced through the ajar door and looked at the people sitting at the table outside the private room.‘Daisie smiles brightly and warmly when she’s beside her brother. It’s quite rare to see two brothers who would protect their younger sister as these two do. Perhaps that’s the reason behind her innocent smile.’Daisie and Waylon left the restaurant after dinner. The two of them could sense that Jackie was in a bad mood, so they bid him goodbye first.Back in the car, Waylon raised his hand to rub her hair. “Daisie, are you very close with Zephir?”Daisie nodded. “Yeah.”She then paused for a few seconds and asked again, “Waylon, why are you asking me this too?”‘It’s a known fact that Colton doesn’t like Zephir, but does Waylon not like him either?’“After all, it’s someone that you know. So, as your eldest brother, of course, I have to know a few things about him.” Although Waylon was protecting his younger sister too,
Elaine looked at Ian.‘It seems that he’s not someone to be trifled with.’The two entered the house. The house had a duplex floor plan, there were two bedrooms on the upper floor, a living room and a kitchen downstairs, and two independent balconies upstairs and downstairs.The decoration was simple and elegant, the interior design looked high-end, and most importantly, it was the style that she liked!‘I didn’t expect us to move in together just like this.’“I’ll take you upstairs to have a look.” Ian walked in front of her.Elaine followed, and the two came to the bedroom.The bedroom looked quite large, with a series of huge French windows, a built-in cloakroom and bathroom, and a balcony with a view.She walked up to the window and glanced at the brightly lit buildings across the shore and the cruise ships that were passing by at sea. This dazzling night scene looked phenomenal.Ian approached her and stood behind her secretly. “Do you like it?”Elaine chuckled inadverte
After taking a shower, Elaine walked out of the bathroom.She had prepared a few sets of lingerie, but she didn’t dare put them on after tonight and just chose a loose T-shirt that covered her thighs.She walked down and saw Ian going through some documents on the couch.“You’re still awake.” She walked over.Ian looked up at her and placed the documents on the table. “Can you sign here, please?”She sat down on the couch and took the documents. It was the agreement to receive 5% of shares from Synergy.“This is what I’ve promised you.” With the 5% of shares from Synergy, it meant that she was a shareholder of Synergy, and that was something he had promised her.Elaine didn’t really care about the shares, but she felt complicated when Ian actually gave them to her because this was part of the agreement for their marriage. She didn’t sign. Ian looked at her. “Is everything alright?”Elaine slowly said, “You wanted to give me shares because it was a term of our marriage of
Ian laughed, walked toward her, and hugged her from behind.Elaine jumped and turned around. “You’re such a quiet walker.”“Why are you up so early?”“To make breakfast for you.” She thought that he shouldn’t be the one who always made it. Ian lowered his head to kiss her ear. “There’s no need for that.”“No, I want to.”Seeing how resolute she was, he smiled. “Alright.”Elaine never cooked, so even after watching the tutorial, it still turned out disastrous. She lost her appetite when she saw it, but Ian finished all of it. Even though he didn’t say that it tasted bad, she still felt discouraged.Elaine would go to the Lakeview Apartment for the next few days to ask Lucy to teach her how to cook after work.Lucy was surprised. “Don’t you hate cooking?”Elaine had been served all her life and disliked the kitchen because it was too oily. Yet, she started to learn how to cook after her engagement to Ian?Elaine turned away. “I just want to learn from you.”Lucy couldn’t say
