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
Ivanka suddenly laughed, took a drag, and slowly let the smoke out. “I’ve never seen a girl your age who’s so ambitious.”She dropped the cigarette into her beer—it fizzed and went out. “I’m going to trust you since you seem so confident. However, if this fails, you’re going to suffer, get it?”Lisa bit her lip. Since she was going to carry it out, she could not fail. “Don’t worry.”Ivanka got up and left.In the corridor, the person walking behind Ivanka asked, “Do you really trust her? Are we letting her do whatever she wants?”He couldn’t understand why Ivanka would help Evan’s sister. She was so young yet was already sucking up to people with power.It was terrifying.Ivanka smirked. “You won’t understand. This girl is going to be someone in the future. If I help her, she will owe me one.”“But aren’t you afraid that a person like her will betray you?”Ivanka was expressionless, “When someone crosses to the dark side, they can no longer be free. Either I tame her and make
Nollace was quiet.Suddenly the door opened. “Dad—”Lisa froze on the spot with a bouquet of flowers in her arms. She entered the wrong room so that Tristan would see her. She knew that Nollace would be there but didn’t expect Daisie to be as well!“I’m… I’m sorry, I thought this was my dad’s room.”She was going to leave when Tristan called out to her.She looked back. “Yes?”“Have you forgotten me? You saved me the other day.” Tristan didn’t sound as distant as the other day because… she was the person who had ‘saved’ his life.Lisa pretended to remember. “It’s you, sir.”“Your father is admitted to the hospital too?”She looked down and smiled. “Yes.”Tristan suddenly remembered what she had told him. Her father was sick, and she worked to help lighten the family burden. “You’re such a loving child.”The praise didn’t make Lisa happy but instead made her feel ashamed because Daisie was well aware of her family situation.Lisa stood in the room, and the praises Tristan sh
