Some things were not visible to the eyes of the beholder—they had to be observed through the heart.…The weather was bright and sunny.Violet brought the three kids to the amusement park to play, but she ran into Zephir and Jackie.They arrived at the amusement park later.Daisie ran toward them with a smile. “Zephir, Uncle!”Waylon and Colton looked at Violet. She crossed her arms and clicked her tongue. “Since when did my cousin become this close with that fella?”‘And Jackie, he actually came to an amusement park? This is so strange.’Zephir looked at them. “What a coincidence?”Colton snorted. “Yeah, what a coincidence.”‘This is such a surprising coincidence.’However, Zephir was not alone, and he brought Jackie along too, so they did not make his life hard for him.Hence, the kids came together and ran off to play, leaving Violet and Jackie behind.She then said reluctantly, “Thank you for last night.”She was referring to the fact that he had left an umbrella that
They only went home reluctantly as evening approached.Originally, the three children had come in the same car as Violet, but the four children got into the same car at the end of the day.Looking at them leaving her behind, Violet clicked her tongue. “Such immorality! This is getting too much!”‘These b*stards must have colluded.’Jackie lowered the car window and raised his eyelids. “Aren’t you leaving?”She was startled.She then thought of something and snorted softly. “I’ll die before I hitch a ride with your car.”Violet clearly remembered when he left her at the city hall the other day. Who knew what was going through his mind at that moment?Jackie knew that she was still angry, so he spoke slowly. “I’ll send you home for real this time.”“Are you serious?” Violet sneered. “How would I know that you won’t leave me on the freeway this time?”If this were before, he would have long been impatient and asked his driver to leave her behind. However, he had not shown any tr
“Penny! What nonsense are you talking about?” Edmund’s expression dimmed.‘Even I have to show the Cliffords a little respect. Even if the Cliffords want to whitewash Violet, I won’t dare to bring this up in their face.’Penelope gnashed her teeth. “Who gave you the right to claim that what I just said is nonsense? If it weren’t for her, Brooklyn and I would have gotten married long ago. Do you expect me to kiss the *ss of a b*tch who specializes in snatching other people’s boyfriends?“Young Master Clifford, didn’t you despise this woman back then too? Since when have you been bewitched by this b*tch?”She snorted coldly and glared at Violet. “A b*tch will forever be a b*tch. You’ve actually convinced the Cliffords and made them side with you so quickly. I think it’s only a matter of time before you get onto the bed of the grandfather and grandson and serve the both of them—”Edmund slapped Penelope and stunned her for a split second.She looked up in disbelief. “Father!?”Edmu
Penelope fell to the ground as she saw Brooklyn protecting the woman and the eight-year-old son behind him. She then started crying so hysterically that she could not stop herself.Edmund could not stand it anymore. His daughter was making him lose face because of the troubles that she had caused at the restaurant. “Stop it and come home with me.”“I’m not leaving.” Penelope shook him off. “I only want to get to the bottom of things today. Brooklyn Simons, you b*stard, you played with my feelings!”Brooklyn comforted his wife behind him, asked her to take their son into the private room, and then glared at Penelope impatiently. “I played with your feelings?”He gave off a disdainful smirk. “You slept with me voluntarily back then. I didn’t force you to do so, did I? Both of us came out only for the fun of it. I haven’t seen any woman as shameless and clingy as you.”When Edmund heard him insulting his daughter like this, his expression dimmed instantly. “Brooklyn Simons, you’ve cr
Those women who wanted his money would get paid and would not cling to him. They would get together and separate without any issue. After all, none of them was in it for the love.But when he met Penelope, it could be said that Brooklyn had run into trouble.Penelope was the daughter of the Potters, and it was Penelope who had approached him first.Brooklyn had given her a decent title as his girlfriend to put her off, but her status was not disclosed to the public. Only Penelope’s friends knew about it.Brooklyn had broken up with Penelope because he was afraid that if he were to move on with the extramarital relationship, Penelope would storm into his house someday. He had chosen to break up only because he wanted to protect his wife and children.In addition, he had flirted with Violet too, which was why Penelope had misunderstood Violet as the woman who had snatched him from her.Jackie’s expression dimmed upon thinking of this.Violet was enjoying the Duck à l’Orange that s
Jackie laid Violet on the bed and placed the pillow under her head. She was sound asleep and wasn’t alert.He tucked her in and stood next to the bed for a while before turning off the light and leaving the room.When Rose saw him going downstairs, she got up. “Jackie.”Jackie stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. “Yes, ma’am?’“Thanks for bringing her home.”“Don’t mention it.” He nodded. “I’ll be heading home now.”Rose nodded. Watching him walk out the door, she was sad because she liked Jackie and didn’t understand why Violet couldn’t see how good he was.Violet slept early and woke early at 6:00 a.m. the following day. She immediately sat up when she opened her eyes and realized that she was in her room.‘Didn’t I fall asleep in the car? How did I get back here?’After Violet cleaned up, she went downstairs for a drink. The helpers had already made some soup. “You’re up so early, ma’am?”She walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water and thought of someth
Violet wasn’t stupid and could see that the children were trying to pull her and Jackie back together.They were already divorced, so there was no point. “Aunt Violet, do you hate Uncle Jackie?”“He hates me.”Daisie looked at her. “Do you hate him?”Violet confidently said, “He hates me, so I naturally hate him as well.”“But what if he doesn’t hate you?”She paused for a moment. “I would still hate him.”“Why?” Daisie looked past her. Violet picked up her teacup, chuckled, and said, “Because he’s arrogant, pretentious, and ill-tempered. He’s not gentle at all.”Suddenly, a shadow lurked over Violet and stopped behind her. “That’s what you think about me?”Violet shuddered and looked back.Jackie wore his gold-framed glasses and stood behind her in a suit. Glasses would elevate any look, but no other man would make glasses look better than Jackie. He looked charming yet cool but still cunning. Violet opened her mouth and said, “Was I wrong?”Wasn’t he arrogant, pret
Someone who never had breakfast with her during their three-year marriage or even said so much to her suddenly changed so much after their divorce. Why wouldn’t she be surprised?Jackie’s eyes lingered on her face, “Quite.” After a few seconds, he added, “But I hate being married.”Violet was surprised, but she didn’t know why. “So, after we’re no longer married, you don’t hate me anymore?”“Aren’t you glad that our marriage is annulled?” he asked. Violet wanted to say something but stopped, then looked down. Yes, she was free after their divorce. Naturally, she was happy, but something felt off.On the other side, Maisie and Nolan brought the kids to the same cafe for breakfast.When Maisie saw Daisie open the room door, she smiled. “Weren’t you having breakfast with Violet?”“Uncle Jackie is with her. I don’t want to be a third-wheel.”She was self-conscious.Nolan was amused. “But you don’t think that you’re third-wheeling your mom and me?”Daisie shrugged. “That’s diff
“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
