Daisie didn’t know that when she had gone to see Nollace, the bodyguards had already recognized him.The housekeeper went in to prepare breakfast. She remembered something and poked her head out to ask, “Have you had something to eat, sir?”Nollace smiled. “Could you please prepare mine too, please?”Daisie was curious. “You haven’t had breakfast?”He lazily leaned back. “I just want to get free food here.”Daisie put her hands on her hips. “You need to pay for the food.”Nollace suddenly held out his hand and pulled her onto his thighs. She was shocked and immediately looked toward the kitchen. The housekeeper was preparing breakfast and didn’t notice what was going on in the living room.She nervously lowered her voice. “What are you doing?”“Didn’t you ask for payment?” He pinched her chin and then leaned in. “Here’s some interest.”“What interest— Mm!”Before she could finish, Nollace kissed her. She stopped breathing, her hand that was on his shoulder tightened, and he
“Can she not tiptoe?” Nollace chuckled, “Lisa got to where she was because of Ivanka. If Ivanka wanted to use her, she would have planned to control her. If she knew that Lisa was planning to ditch her, no matter where she would go, she would be blocked.”When Lisa fell into the hands of Donald’s people, and once she realized that she had nowhere else to go, Ivanka would be her way out. If she cut Ivanka off, it would be the end of her. Edison looked into the rearview mirror. He had never been disappointed with Nollace’s tactics during all the years that he had worked for him. Even Donald had told the people in the black market that the Knowles kid was a wolf, and if he offended him now, he might bite him in the future. If that didn’t kill him, he would still need to pay with a pound of flesh.Lisa was just a clown to him. She kept challenging Nollace, so it would be weird if he let her off. Meanwhile…When Lisa woke up, she was in a hospital. The construction site workers had
Before Daisie could touch it, someone took it from behind. “Are you looking for this?”Daisie turned around and was surprised. The man behind her had healthy tanned skin and looked slightly middle-eastern. He had black curly hair, beautiful features, deep-set eyes, and light pupils. He looked unique. But most importantly, he looked familiar. The man smiled and showed off his white teeth, “Don’t you remember me? We were in a perfume ad once.”Daisie was shocked. “It’s you?”She took a closer look, and his features matched the young model she had worked with. He nodded, then handed the book to her, “I’m Ayan.”Daisie took the book from him and asked, “Are you a student here too? I’ve never seen you in the Drama, Theatre, and Film classes.”“I’m not a student in that course.” Ayan looked at her and smiled. “To be exact, I’m from the Art School.”The Royal College of Victoria was split into the business side and the art side. The art course was huge, so it was upgraded into a
Daisie pressed her lips together and stayed silent. It would be a lie to say that she never thought about Nollace that way. How could someone not when they saw a face like that?Freyja waved her hand. “Alright, enough from me. I don’t want you to have funny dreams.”Daisie covered her mouth. “Enough.”Ayan stood at the walkway to the library and watched them leave, then turned and left too.At the Knowles Group…There was a knock on the door. Edison opened it and saw Tristan walk into the office. “Nollace.”Nollace closed the file he was holding and looked up. “You’re back.”“I heard that Donald Matthews has Lisa now.” Tristan pulled a chair out and sat down. “Nollace, are you in contact with him?”Nollace put down the file. “No, I just went through Lara.”Tristan frowned. “Jonah Reese has taken her out of the hospital to avoid Donald. You used Lara to send Lisa to Donald. If Lara said that it was you…”“She wouldn’t.” Nollace smiled. “Lara knows that she has offended Donal
Ayan asked in confusion, “Special?”“Please don’t get me wrong. What I’m trying to say is that you have an outstanding appearance. You look just like those ancient Perxians from the painting.”In Yaramoor, most of the people were fair-skinned, and it made Ayan stand out a lot regardless of his appearance or temperament.Ayan smiled and said, “Thank you for your compliment.”The car soon arrived at his destination. After he bade Daisie goodbye, he got out of the car.As soon as Daisie returned to Hilton Villas, she saw a familiar car when she got out of her car. It seemed to her that the car had been waiting here for a long time. The rear window was lowered halfway down, and the person sitting inside was none other than Nollace. Daisie was taken aback and walked toward the car. She leaned on the window and asked, “Don’t tell me you’ve been waiting for me here.”Nollace looked at her and replied, “I thought you’d come home straight away.”“Well, I just dropped someone off on the
Nollace was taking off his shirt, and it was only then Daisie realized that he was ripped. He had a lean, toned body. His muscles were not particularly big, and they all looked well-proportioned. He was the type who looked thin when putting on clothes and muscular after taking off his clothes. What’s more, his v-cut abs were very well-defined.She moved her gaze down, and her face turned red in embarrassment. She quickly turned around and shouted, “How can you suddenly take off your clothes!?”Nollace put his shirt on the bed neatly and stood behind her.As he took over the pajamas in her hand, he leaned forward to get closer to her and said, “Because I’m going to take a bath.”Daisie’s ears were getting redder and redder. She could feel his temperature seeping into her back when he leaned closer to her. She buried her face into her palm and said, “You knew that I’d come. You’re doing it on purpose!”A chuckle escaped Nollace’s lips as he said, “Yeah, I did it on purpose.”Her
Upon realizing Daisie’s gaze, he turned his head around and asked, “What’s wrong?”She averted her gaze and replied, “Nothing.” Nollace put his arms across the couch behind her and leaned closer to her. “Is that little girl you?” She was stunned but did not say anything.Nollace chuckled and continued. “She looks so adorable. What’s more, she looks a lot like you.”Daisie pushed him away. “Let’s continue to watch the movie.”He chuckled but did not say anything and turned his head toward the movie again. He recognized the little girl as soon as she showed up. He had asked her that question because he just wanted to see her reaction.The night was getting darker, and by the time the movie ended, Daisie had already fallen asleep on the armrest of the couch. Nollace turned his head sideways to look at her and chuckled.He stretched his arms forward and brushed aside the strands of hair that were stuck to her face.After that, he stood up and scooped her into his arms. Her hea
Freyja told Ayan that she had an allergy to onion and garlic.Ayan rested his chin under his hand and fell into deep thought.Daisie went closer to Freyja and whispered. “Did you do this on purpose?” Freyja pretended as if she did not understand what Daisie was talking about and said, “What are you talking about?” Daisie exposed her and said, “Didn't you enjoy eating garlic and onion in the dining hall?”Freyja was stumped and replied, “I’m not allergic to the garlic and onion in the dining hall. Do you have a problem with that?” Daisie looked toward Ayan, who was ordering food from the waiter and said, “Don’t mind about her. She can eat anything.”Freyja was rendered speechless.Ayan also realized something and chuckled. “It’s okay. I’ll find something that your friend can eat.”“It isn't necessary. You're buying us a meal, and there's no reason for us to be picky about what to eat,” Daisie replied sternly. “Just order anything that you feel that’s good. I want to try the
“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
