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
“She’s willing to get a DNA test.” Larissa turned to look at him. “When the results come out, you’ll have to accept it no matter what.”Louis shrugged. Ever since Willow had yelled at the two children in the Michelin restaurant and had thrown coffee at someone, he never had a good feeling about her.He had heard his mother talk about his aunt Marina. Given Marina’s upbringing, her child wouldn’t be so uncivilized. But if it was, as his mother said, when the DNA results came out, and they confirmed it, she would be his cousin, even though he still wouldn’t like her. “What did you find out about the designer Zora?”Louis’ eyes darted. “Yes, she’s a luxury jewelry designer named Maisie Vanderbilt. She has something going on with Mr. Goldmann.”Larissa’s eyes darkened. “It’s her?”Willow had told her that she had a stepsister called Maisie, who had worked with Ms. Santiago to frame her. So she was the one behind all the drama online, and she was Nolan Goldmann’s woman? Larissa was
“Grandpa, did you miss us?” Daisie beamed. “Of course, I missed you to bits!” Mr. Goldmann Sr. tapped the tip of her nose, his eyes overflowing with love. It was the first time Colton was there, so everything was new to him. “Grandpa, this place is so beautiful!”Mr. Goldmann Sr. laughed heartily. “Haha, this is your home too.”The maid guided Maisie to her room. The room had modern decor, but the view there was mesmerizing, and it was quiet. They could see a manmade pond and the woods.Her phone rang. It was Stephen. She walked to the window, hesitantly putting the phone to her ear. “Dad?”“Maisie, I was going through the items left by your mom recently. I’ll pass them to you when you have time to come over. “‘Mom’s items?’She had always been under the impression that her father had not kept anything she left. Maisie pressed her lips together, and her voice was a little coarse. “Okay.”The moment the call cut off, Maisie held her phone to her chest and turned around
“Even if I did see, is that something I should be surprised about?” Maisie shrugged and smiled. Nolan squinted and walked past her, “I guess you wouldn’t mind.” So there was no point explaining. Maisie was rooted on the spot. After Nolan said that, she felt a prick in her heart. It was very uncomfortable. She held her first. Yes, she didn’t mind. There shouldn’t be anything going on between them. She didn’t know that the three kids had seen everything. Their parents’ relationship was on ‘red alert’!Mr. Goldmann Sr. stood behind the three of them, lightly patting their heads. After Maisie walked away, the three said, “Grandpa, what should we do if Mommy won’t accept Daddy?”Mr. Goldmann Sr. understood what was happening. “Then the problem would be your mother. Why wouldn’t she accept him? It’s probably because she is uncertain.”She was still uncertain whether Nolan was the person she could rely on, so she was feeling really insecure about love, marriage, and building a fa
Maisie paused but smiled awkwardly. “I wasn’t worried.”“I was just telling you. Cherie isn’t interested in Nolan. You’ll like her once you get to know her.”Colton said, “Yes, Mommy, Aunt Cherie is very nice. She’s just a little loud and a little rough around the edges.”Maisie just smiled. If she said anything more, it would show that she was jealous. She wasn’t going to be jealous because of Nolan!She would only be jealous because another woman had already bought over the three rugrats!Daisie went close to Colton and whispered. “Do you think Mommy looks angry?”Colton nodded in agreement. Cherie came staggering in and yelled loudly, “Oh no, no!”She walked in huffing, resting on the door. Mr. Goldmann Sr stood up. “What’s going on? Aren’t you out with Nolan and Waylon?”Cherie waved her hand and said, “Waylon said that he wanted to buy some toys for his siblings, so we went to the market, but Waylon went missing. I split up with Nolan to search, but now I can’t find ei
Nolan’s phone!Maisie almost forgot about that. She picked up her phone and called him, but it didn’t go through. Waylon was probably wearing his phone watch. She dialed his number, but it didn’t go through either. She was losing it. Had something happened to them?“My brother is here!” Right after Cherie said that, Quincy and some bodyguards appeared. “What happened to Mr. Goldmann and Waylon?”“I’m sorry, it was my fault for not keeping an eye on them. Waylon suddenly disappeared, and I split up with Mr. Goldmann to search, but I ended up losing them both!”That was the first time Cherie had met a setback like that. She was very familiar with every corner of the town, but she had lost a child who was under her nose. That was a huge disgrace. “Mr. Goldmann probably went to find Waylon. Could they be in the wild?”If Waylon was kidnapped, those people wouldn’t hang around a crowd. They would surely go somewhere remote. “What are we waiting for then? Go now!”Cherie didn
“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
