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
Freyja pressed the bridge of her nose to calm herself down. “I’m not asking you to cut ties with all of your male friends, but can’t you see that Ayan has a motive for approaching you?”There were not so many coincidences under normal circumstances.Daisie lowered her head and asked, “Aren't foreigners always so friendly?” Freyja smiled. “Some of the guys in the Drama, Theatre, and Film are foreigners as well. Why aren’t they as friendly as Ayan?”“Because of Nollace and Colton.”Freyja was stunned. “So you knew about it too.”If it were not for Colton and Nollace, a lot of boys would have approached Daisie with ulterior motives.She knew about it, but sometimes, she just couldn't see through other people's intentions.Freyja asked, “Then why couldn’t you see through Ayan’s intention?”Daisie shrugged and lowered her head. “I know that you all are worried that I might get cheated, so you keep protecting me the way you do. But I am not a child anymore.”She turned around and
Nollace looked down at her. “Why should I be angry?”“You’re my boyfriend, and I agreed to have dinner with him. Won’t you be angry?”Nollace squinted, and his palms lingered around her face, caressing her cheek. “As long as you guys don’t cross the line, I don’t see the need for me to be angry.“Daisie, you have the right to socialize with friends, and I have no right to interfere with your personal social life too much. However, if you really were to take a step too far across the line, I can’t guarantee what I’ll do.”Seeing that his expression dimmed slightly, Daisie was astonished for a few seconds. “How much is too much?”He put his finger on her lips. “Do you know that the most intolerable thing in a relationship is betrayal? If you were to get too close to another man other than me, I will...”She was a little curious. “What will you do?”He pressed his lips against her cheek. “I’ll tie you to me. You won’t even have the chance to leave my side in the future, and I won’t
Jonah’s body was placed in a funeral home and was about to be cremated. There were very few people who came to mourn. The relatives who came to mourn him were basically only there for the inheritance that he had left behind.After selling his company’s shares, he had obtained more than $7,000,000. In addition to the hefty savings and other investments that he had accumulated over the years, there were at least several billion dollars.Jonah originally planned to use this fund to bring his daughter abroad. Lara was his only daughter, so she was the one who inherited everything after her father died.Lara was dressed in black and wearing a headscarf covering her disfigured cheek. She stood expressionlessly in front of her father’s portrait, ignoring the faces of relatives who were there to put up a play, pretending to mourn her father.That was until a figure stepped into the funeral home from outside.It was Ken.Ken placed the white rose in his hand in the center of the wreath, l
‘If it weren’t for the fact that Lara has tried to get rid of someone who’s out of her league this time around, would she end up in such misery?‘Since she had the guts to do it, she’ll have to face the consequences.’Daisie looked at her. “Lara deserves everything that she’s gotten herself into recently. However, she’s already suffered an accident, but everyone is still taunting her for the retribution. Don’t you think it’s a little sad?”Freyja was surprised. “You... Do you think she is pitiful?”“This has nothing to do with whether she’s pitiful or not. I just think that the action of attributing the difficulties that kind people or bad people encounter in life to fate or retribution is a manifestation of our incompetency as humans.“Let’s say a person bullied you, you were insulted and beaten by them, and one day in the future, the person died or suffered from some accident or disease. We’ll happily claim that retribution is doing its job, and we’ll feel reconciled and gleeful
Ken smiled and raised the car window slowly. “It’s decided then. I’ll come to pick you girls up tomorrow.”The next day, at Lumiere Fine Dining…The restaurant had a very cozy and comfortable environment. It had a lounge bar, and the lighting was mainly warm yellow in color, which made the interior feel warm and grand.Ken led Daisie and Freyja to a table for six. It had a pure white tablecloth, and the silverware and wine glasses were all neatly arranged.The two people who had been waiting in their seats were Ken and Freyja’s parents.Sandy was extremely graceful and glamorous and should be around 46 years old. She looked very well-maintained, every piece of her clothing was meticulously coordinated and color-coded, and the jewelry that she had on all came from luxurious brands.Perhaps it was because of her bold facial features that she exuded a rather fierce aura. It felt like it would be quite difficult to get acquainted with her.On the other hand, Brandon Pruitt, Ken and
“I’m just giving you youngsters a piece of advice. What’s wrong with that?” Sandy picked up the wine glass and shook it lightly. “Love and emotions are the most unreliable things that you can own in this world. The things that you like might not stay the same in the future. At the end of the day, only profits and interests are the most reliable.”The waiter brought the dishes at this moment, so Sandy put her wine glass aside and picked up her knife and fork. “Okay, let’s eat first.”Daisie did not move and remained silent for a long time. “Mrs. Pruitt, what you just said sounds so strange. Since you think that relationships, love, and emotions are very unreliable, then why would you choose to get married back then?”Sandy’s expression turned a little stiff. “Marriage? Does it have anything to do with love or emotions? You’re still too naïve, girl.”Daisie took a deep breath and looked at Brandon, who had not said anything since the meal started. “Mr. Pruitt, do you think so too?”
Sandy warned her in a deep voice, “Fey, don’t you dare take another step away from the table.”Freyja’s footsteps stopped for a split second, but she still left with Daisie in the end.Sandy stared at their figures as they left the restaurant, and her expression looked extremely piqued. “It seems that getting to know the daughter of the Goldmanns has made her more arrogant and contemptuous.”‘I wanted to use this meal to win Daisie Vanderbilt over with Freyja’s help. However, not only did Freyja not do anything to help, but she actually made it even worse than before.’Ken wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief. “Mother, you don’t have to worry that much. You should’ve seen it for yourself. That little princess trusts Fey very much, doesn’t she?”“So what? It’s not that you don’t know Fey’s personality.” If Sandy had known that the daughter she gave birth to would grow up to behave like this, she would rather that she had not given birth to her in the first place.Ken
“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
