Madam Vanderbilt asked, “Mr. Goldmann, what is your relationship with Zee?” Nolan replied nonchalantly, “Zee is my fiancée. What’s the matter?”‘Fiancée!?’ Madam Vanderbilt was astounded. ‘I didn’t expect this cheap sl*t to be the person who really has her head in the game! She’s actually managed to become Mr. Goldmann’s woman!’“Zee, why didn’t you tell your family that you’re engaged to Mr. Goldmann?”Maisie scoffed inwardly. “I don’t want to be bothered.” ‘If it wasn’t for Nolan’s identity, why would she act like this? To put it bluntly, isn’t the only thing that she has her eyes on Nolan’s identity and status?’“Then when will you marry me?”Maisie almost choked due to Nolan’s sudden proposal. She then turned her head to look at him. ‘Do you have a death wish? I’m just playing along.’“Zee, indeed, you’re no longer young anymore. It’s time for you to get married too. Since Mr. Goldmann loves you so much, what are you waiting for?”‘Judging solely from Mr. Goldmann’s fami
After dinner, Madam Vanderbilt suggested that Nolan and Maisie should stay in the Vanderbilt manor for one night.Maisie wanted to refuse, but Nolan agreed to do so.Madam Vanderbilt was very pleased to see that Nolan was willing to stay. “Mr. Goldman, please let me know at any time if you have any needs. Treat this as your own home.”Seeing that Nolan was ignoring her, the old lady smiled awkwardly.Maisie wanted to say something, but Nolan looked at her and said, “I want to take a look at your former room.”‘My former room?’Maisie was flustered. She had left Vanderbilt manor for six years and had indeed never come back to stay here since then.Stephen opened his lips and said slowly, “Zee’s room has not been touched, so I’ll arrange for someone to clean it up now.”Later on, Maisie arrived at the room she had been living in in the past. The room layout was still the same as before, and many items and furniture had not been moved.It was just that the bed in the room looked
“Nolan doesn’t have pajamas, so I’m here to ask if you have any that fit him.”Stephen smiled. “I just bought one pair some time ago, and I haven’t worn it. I’ll get it for you.”Stephen brought Maisie the new pair of pajamas.When Maisie turned around and was about to leave, Stephen walked out of the room. “Zee.”Maisie turned her head. “What’s the matter?”“It is I who mistreated you.”“…It’s okay, Dad.” Maisie looked down, turned around, and walked toward the room without looking at Stephen’s pale expression.Stephen felt extremely heavy-hearted. Even though he knew that his daughter had yet to forgive him, he was content that she still called him “Dad”.Maisie, who was walking back to the room, saw a woman standing outside the door of her room all of a sudden. It was Linda.She did not know what Linda was saying to Nolan, but it could be seen that she was giving off a bashful and happy expression. She acted extremely cautiously in front of him, but the tiny hint of joy on
Nolan was not planning on making the next move, but he only wanted to go to sleep with her in his arms. “Sleep.”Sensing the man’s even breathing behind her, Maisie relaxed gradually and felt drowsiness taking over her soon.…Maisie and Nolan went downstairs together. Stephen had already prepared breakfast personally. He smiled at the sight of Maisie and Nolan’s arrival. “You’re up. Have some breakfast before you head back.”Maisie made her way to a seat and sat down in front of the table just in time to see the all dressed-up Linda coming downstairs with Madam Vanderbilt. “Zee, did both of you sleep well last night?”Maisie humored Madam Vanderbilt’s enthusiastic inquiry by saying, “Hmm, we slept well.”Madam Vanderbilt cast a look at Linda, who then made her way to Maisie smilingly. “Maisie, may I sit here?”Maisie said, “As you wish.”She pulled out the chair and sat right next to Maisie. Linda said in a friendly yet reserved tone, “Maisie, I’ve only come to the royal c
Madam Vanderbilt blushed in embarrassment and almost turned against Maisie right there and then. On the other hand, Linda felt very uneasy in her heart after hearing that. However, she forced herself to agree with Maisie so she could get closer to Nola. “Maisie, I… I’m really bad at work. I hope that you and your fiance won’t reject me by then.”If one were to describe Willow as a hypocrite, Linda was the real temptress.Maisie smiled and said, “I’ll be stern.”Linda was rendered speechless.Nolan could not help smirking at the sight of Maisie and Linda at loggerheads. It was truly adorable to see his sweet wife determined to scheme against someone. …Linda arrived at the Blackgold Group as she wished. She could not help feeling excited in her heart upon seeing the bustling company. She did not expect Nolan’s company to be so huge. Nolan had truly lived up to his reputation of being an influential, powerful person in the royal capital of Bassburgh. ‘Hmph! As long as I’m wi
Maisie smirked. “If you’re taking pity on her, I may assign her to you.”Nolan lowered his gaze and smiled. He got up, walked toward her, and wrapped an arm around her waist rapidly before taking a few steps forward and pinning her against the door. “What happened to you claiming that you’re not jealous?”Maisie looked at him coldly. She could not stand the sight of Linda’s feigned act of being weaker than Willow. In addition, was it wrong for her to build up Linda’s endurance of hardships?She shoved away his hand. “Don’t be holding and hugging me out of nowhere. It’s inappropriate if seen by others.”“It’s good for them to see too.” As he was speaking, he went for her lips.Maisie was so furious that she bit him. “Will you please behave yourself, Nolan!?”Nolan raised his hand and cupped the back of her head. He pressed his lips against her and pushed his tongue to taste her sweetness. He could obviously feel that she was getting used to his kiss…“Hmm…” Maisie reached for h
Naturally, Leila knew that her daughter was still hung up on Nolan, so she hastily said, “Don’t mind Nolan for now. Do you think you still need to concern yourself with Nolan not being attracted to you when you’re the heiress of the de Armas?”At the mention of this, Willow held her mother’s hand and said, “You’re right, Mom. We must make the Lucas family fully believe that I’m Marina’s daughter. However, I’ll still need to get my hands on the b*tch’s hair so I can use it for the DNA test.”Leila sneered. “That’s easy. The silly girl Linda is working in Blackgold now. We shall send her to handle this task so the little b*tch Maisie won’t suspect us.”…Linda, who had never engaged in manual labor work, was angry and aggrieved after being assigned as an intern in the warehouse. ‘Damn it! Maisie must have done this on purpose!’On the other hand, it was at this time when she received her aunt Leila’s call, so she began complaining to Leila without the slightest hesitation.Leila
Maisie said, “If she bears another male heir for real, perhaps her status in the Vanderbilts will be different in the case of Madam Vanderbilt being pleased and loving the grandson.”‘Aunt Leila is trying to bear a male heir?’Linda expressed her astonishment. She was aware of her grandmother valuing grandsons more than granddaughters all the while.Her deadbeat younger brother had always been highly regarded more than her in Coralia. She was compelled to take on the chores at home despite her young age, while her brother needed not to do anything.Her grandmother had only treated her a little better only when she was about the age to wed. Her grandmother was counting on her to marry into a rich family so she could support her younger brother financially.However, Madam Vanderbilt had no idea that she wanted to marry the rich not because she wanted to support her brother financially but because she wanted to cut loose from being ordered around by her brother.If her aunt were to
“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
