Daisie was a little bit uncomfortable with her enthusiasm. She caressed the Alaskan Malamute in her arms and replied, “It’s called Goldbar.”“G-Goldbar?”Violet’s smile froze. She couldn't understand why Daisie would give such a lame name to such a cute and beautiful little angel. Colton and Waylon placed their hands on their foreheads. They really wanted to tell her that their sister was bad at giving names. Resting his chin on his palm, Waylon squinted and studied Violet. He felt that he had seen her somewhere.Suddenly, an image flitted across his head. She was the woman that had appeared with Zephir in the restaurant that day. “You are our aunt, right?”“Aunt?” Both Daisie and Colton were stunned.‘So does this mean that she’s our uncle’s wife?’Violet took a deep breath and forced a smile on her face. “You guys would be even more adorable if you could stop calling me aunt.”Violet left her pet at the shop and treated them to a meal in a restaurant. Since she was their a
Daisie had been heartbroken for a half month because of him.Even when they thought he was dead, they did not dare to talk about him in front of Daisie. Yet, he had forgotten everything that happened between him and Daisie?“Even though he's the same age as us, he has taken over the Knowles. Yorrick told our great grandfather that he’d become our toughest opponent in a few more years,” said Waylon.Colton gnashed his teeth. “He’ll become our toughest opponent? Who does he think he is?”“Don't underestimate him, Colton. We train ourselves to become stronger, but he has experienced more than us. Besides, he took over the company earlier, and I heard that he has received an unconditional offer from Victoria Business College. I’m confident that he will be able to break our rules within a few years.” Victoria Business College was a royal college in Yaramoor. It was also one of the top universities.Most of the highest quality business elites, architects, researchers, and executive le
Elaine opened her eyes slowly. Ian came over and grabbed her into his arms. “Hey, you almost fell asleep.”“Well, I just can’t help it. It’s too comfortable,” she replied softly.Ian moved his lips to shower a trail of kisses down her cheek.Elaine woke up and raised her head. She placed her hand on his chest and shouted, “Ian!” He chuckled but did not stop. “Did you go to visit your sister today?”“Yeah…”Lucy and Hector were going to spend New Year’s in Coralia. Since she was in Coralia as well, she went to pay her a visit. Lucy was four months into her pregnancy, and both of them had decided to hold a wedding when she had the baby.Sensing her distraction, Ian buried his head into her neck, tickling her with his short hair. She giggled and tried to run away. “Ian!”“When are we going to have our wedding too?” he asked, stunning Elaine.She had not given him a fixed answer in the past few months.In the past, Ian did not feel anxious to get married, and he just let nature
Quincy gnashed his teeth and said, “Hey, did you hear what I sa—”“Hey, you. That woman over there. Stop it right there.”Before Quincy could finish his sentence, someone appeared and interrupted him.A group of people surrounded them, and a man wearing a mink coat emerged from the crowd. He was holding a cigar between his fingers as he lifted his eyes to look at Saydie. “You’re quite a good fighter. Do you want to join our club and become one of our fighters? I assure you that you’ll get more than $160,000.”Most of the fighters had a sponsor to back them up. After all, some of the wealthy people treated wrestling as some sort of gamble. The more they bet on their target, the more money they would make once they one.Saydie had defeated all of her opponents today, so it went without saying that they would come and try to persuade her to join their club since she was such a good fighter.Saydie glanced at him indifferently and said, “I’m not interested.”She was interested in wr
They entered the car and left.The street was quiet and bereft of cars since it was New Year’s. Placing her hand on her forehead, Saydie leaned against the window and glanced at Quincy. “I thought you were going to play with them until tomorrow morning.”A smile appeared at the corner of his lips as he said, “I have no interest in fighting all night.”“If Mr. Goldmann is in danger, judging from your speed, he will be dead by the time you get to him.”Quincy chuckled. “If Mr. Goldmann is in danger, I won’t have the chance to save him either. After all, I’m an assistant. I’m not his bodyguard.”Besides, he did not think Nolan would need him to save him either.Saydie clicked her tongue. “It seems like you have a clear understanding of your job.”“Well, we just need to do what we're paid for. We should leave the fighting to the bodyguards. It's not fair for me to steal their jobs.” Quincy chuckled.“I’ve recorded what you’ve said.”He stamped on the brake and jerked his head to
Quincy had already created quite a distance between the both of them before he found out that Saydie had not caught up to him, so he went back helplessly. “I really wouldn't care if you were to get lost.”Saydie lowered her eyes and retracted her gaze sadly. “It’s not like I can’t walk back by myself.”Quincy crossed his arms. “Just what are you trying to portray yourself as?”He had long realized that Saydie did not want to go back so early. Even though she did not make it clear, he had already guessed it.Christmas and New Year’s had always been a period of time dedicated to family reunions. However, she had no parents, and she had basically celebrated all these festivals with the Goldmanns throughout all these years. To her, the Goldmanns were her current family.Saydie’s parents were not in Zlokova, so it was normal for her to feel homesick, especially during this period.Saydie looked at him and said, “I’ve never played with firecrackers and fireworks.”Quincy was stunned f
At the Lovegood mansion…Aaron slapped Violet, and Rose heard the commotion from upstairs and rushed downstairs. “Dear, what are you doing?”Violet got slapped, but she did not cry or make a huge fuss about it as if the slap had not left an itch on her.Aaron was so angry that he scattered all the photos on the table. “You’re already married to Jackie and still fooling around with other men. Do you plan to irritate me to death!?”Rose walked up to Violet’s side and picked up the photos on the floor, all of which were secretly captured by the paparazzi. And they were all showing that Violet was dating another man.“Viv, what are you—” Rose lifted her head, saw Violet’s slightly inflamed cheek, and swallowed the scolding that was about to escape her mouth.After all, she and her husband were not without fault now that her daughter was behaving like this.“Are you done?” Violet pulled her long hair back and gave off a smile. “You asked me to get married, and I got married. I did ev
Thomas looked at him. “Did she just quarrel with Mr. Lovegood again?”Although he was old, his eyesight was still at its prime that, even from a distance, he could see that her cheek was swollen.And the only person who could beat her was Aaron.Because no matter how dissatisfied his grandson was with her, his grandson would never beat her.Jackie nodded.“Then just let her rest upstairs.” Thomas sighed. He then ordered the servants to prepare some food and deliver it upstairs.Maisie looked at Thomas. Thomas really did not care about Violet’s rumors. It was already very obvious whether the rumors were true or not.After lunch, Maisie strolled with Daisie in the yard, and Daisie held her hand. “Mom, is it really an unhappy incident to be forced to get married to someone?”Maisie paused for a bit and turned to look at her. “Why would you ask such a question all of a sudden?”She replied subconsciously, “Aren’t Aunt Violet and Uncle Jackie staying together because of a forced ma
“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
