Colton and Waylon exchanged gazes and said in unison. “Okay, Mom.”After a week, Daisie’s period had come to an end.The sun was shining bright and warm. She stood in the courtyard and did some stretching, and when she turned around, she saw Leah and Zephir standing outside the gate.Leah waved at her.Daisie came to the gate and looked at them in surprise. “Leah, Zephir, why are you here?”Leah showed her the tickets that she had bought on her cell phone. “We’re going to watch a movie. The theater has a new movie, and I’ve bought three tickets in advance.”Daisie did not want to go to the movies at first, but Leah had bought the tickets in advance, and she and Zephir had come to her doorsteps to invite her in person. It would be rude if she were to refuse to go with them.She was about to agree when Colton’s voice came from behind. “Count me in too.”Leah gave off a fake chuckle. “Coleman, is it fun to follow your sister around all the time?”‘I purposely bought three tickets
Nollace’s gaze turned slightly cold upon thinking of this.“Nollace.” A figure interrupted his thoughts, and he turned around slowly, and the girl standing not far away waved at him.Nollace frowned. He did not remember who she was, but the other party clearly knew him.He then turned his head, looked at the people in the cafe, and walked toward her with a sullen face. “Who are you?”Lisa squeezed her sleeves nervously and gave off a smile. “Can I take up a few minutes of your time?”In the cafe, Daisie bought Nollace a latte. She turned around and looked at the entrance but realized that Nollace was nowhere to be seen.Nollace stopped in the corridor next to the elevator, an area in the mall where not many people passed by, and looked at Lisa indifferently. “Who are you?”“Nollace, don’t get me wrong.” Lisa waved her hand and said with a smile, “I know you don’t remember me, but it’s okay. I can understand.”Nollace frowned.‘She calls me by my name. It seems that I had indee
Nollace looked at Lisa without uttering a single word, and he did not give off any expression. His expression looked so unchanged that even Lisa could not be sure if he had believed in her explanation or not.But she was afraid that she would be found out later, so she came up with an excuse. “I won’t bother you anymore. I will take my leave first. Contact me at any time if you run into any problem.”She then left in a hurry.Nollace looked down at the contact details in his hand, and his expression could not help but dim.On the other side of the mall, Daisie and the others were looking for Nollace, and they saw him approaching them slowly.“Nollace, why did you run away? And where did you go?” Daisie walked up to him angrily. “We wouldn’t be able to explain this to your uncle if you were to get lost.”Colton snorted. “Why would you worry that he’d get lost? Just how old is he?”Leah and Zephir did not say anything.Nollace’s gaze landed on Daisie’s face. No matter how he look
‘Even if she wants to be a little princess who wants to be pampered and protected for all her life, we’re both willing to do so.‘Whoever dares to bully her in the future will definitely be dealt with. Waylon and I will be her lifelong supporters.’Nollace shifted his gaze away. “Then have you asked her about the kind of life that she wants to live?”Colton snorted. “That’s not something that you need to worry about.”Daisie remained silent throughout the whole conversation.‘I know that Waylon and Colton want to protect me and hope I will never need to face the world alone. However, I don’t want to rely on them for the rest of my life.‘As Mom said, when people grow up, they must learn to be independent and distinguish the good from the bad by themselves.‘My grades are not as good as those of Waylon and Colton, and I can’t even tell my own strengths.‘It’s just that I filmed when I was a child, got praised, and had been living the life of a celebrity. Those were the reasons I
Maisie could not help but laugh. “It’s rare to see these four kids get along so well.”Nolan wrapped his arms around her shoulders. “After all, their goals are the same.”‘Everyone is here to help Daisie improve her studies.’Maisie turned to look at him and lifted her eyebrows. “Can you see this? This is how our daughter should behave. If you were to continue to spoil her, what would others think of Daisie in the future? Wouldn’t she be the princess of the Goldmanns that doesn’t know anything?”‘It’d be better for us not to have given birth to a daughter in the first place if all we did was spoil her into a useless lady in the future.‘And look at how the father-and-sons have spoiled her!’He chuckled. “I was wrong. I’ll leave our daughter to you from now on. Sounds okay to you?”Maisie supported her chin on her palm. “It’s time to cultivate her music, sports, cultures, and art skills too.”Nolan was concerned. “Will she be able to bear all that training?”She took a glance a
Just as Colton was about to speak, Waylon suggested, “Just let her stay. He’s helped Daisie a lot these days.”“Whatever.” Colton walked out of the room first.When they left, Daisie sat on the chair beside the bed and saw the empty cup on the table, so she got up and wanted to pour him a glass of water.Suddenly, she saw a note pressed under the phone that he had placed on the table.Daisie pulled out the note curiously and saw a very familiar cell phone number written on it.It was so familiar that Daisie recognized it immediately.It was not until the evening that Nollace opened his eyes. He rested the back of his hand on his forehead, and he was no longer feeling so uncomfortable.He turned his head instantly and saw Daisie leaning against the back of the chair, sleeping soundly.He was stunned because he had assumed he was dreaming when he saw her figure earlier on.Nollace got up, pulled the blanket off his body, and sat on the edge of the bed. His gaze landed on her fac
Lisa’s face turned slightly pale, and her hands resting on her thighs could not help but clench.‘Didn’t he lose his memory? Why would he think of checking me out? Shouldn’t he believe in everything that I said?’“Nollace, I got expelled from school, but I was—”“Do you want to say that you were wronged and innocent?” Nollace saw through her at first glance. “I may not remember anything from the past, but that doesn’t mean that I’m dumb.”Lisa froze in position and could not move a muscle.“Actually, I almost believed in what you said the other day, but you shouldn’t have reminded me about Daisie and her brother’s feelings for me.”Nollace had actually believed in what she said that day, but not completely.She had told him that she was friends with Daisie, but she also told him that Daisie and her brother hated him—the contradiction and urgency in the message made him feel that he was being tricked.Thus, he had asked Edison to look into her background and phone number and the
Marriage between affluent families was very common and usually happened because their families were compatible in influence. However, even if Daisie and Nollace knew each other but didn’t grow up together, it was acceptable. The helpers were discussing. Daisie didn’t hear because she was twirling her pen. Even though she looked like she was listening to Nollace’s explanation, she had actually zoned out. Nollace tilted his head, looked at her, and noticed that she wasn’t paying attention, so he tapped her head with a pen. “Focus.”She rubbed the top of her head. “Why did you do that?”“If you don’t focus, I won’t continue tutoring.” He seemed to be threatening her.She pouted and scratched her head. “Can I ask you something?”Daisie was the type that couldn’t keep things in and wouldn’t be able to focus, especially when there was something that she just had to ask.Nollace could guess what she was going to ask, “Go ahead.”“Um…” Daisie frowned. “How did you get Lisa’s phone nu
“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
