The last sentence sounded like a warning.Nollace then ignored her and left.Zenovia bit her lip, turned to look at Nollace, and stomped her feet furiously. “You’ll regret it!”..Nollace rushed to the Hilton Villas, and he asked the housekeeper immediately when she came to open the door, “Where’s Daisie?”Before the housekeeper could answer him, Colton walked downstairs. “Knowles, is this how you solve an issue?”Nollace frowned. “What do you mean?”Colton stopped in front of him. “Didn’t you say that you’ve already resolved Lisa’s issue? Why would she still have the guts to appear before Daisie?”‘I shouldn’t have put too much faith in this sh*tsack and let that heinous woman go.’Nollace remained silent, his masseter muscles twitched, and his gaze turned slightly cold. “Was it Lisa?”“Who else could it be other than her?” Colton grabbed the front of his shirt. “If anything were to happen to Daisie, Lisa aside, I wouldn’t let you off this matter.”The housekeeper looked at
Daisie said angrily, “You deserve it.”Nollace’s smile intensified. “Then you can teach me a lesson when your wound has recovered.”The lesson teaching had an implicit meaning, but Daisie understood it, and her ears flushed instantly. “You shameless piece of crap! You clearly know that I can never overwhelm you in a fight. I want to get some rest already.”She pulled the blanket up, lay down, and buried herself under the blanket.Nollace lifted the blanket and waited for her to reveal half a head. “If you were to die of suffocation, I would no longer have a wife.”“Bah! With so many women in the world, isn’t it a piece of cake for you to find yourself another wife?”Nollace looked straight at her. “But I only want you.”She quickly looked away as her face was really warm.‘I’m also not his match when it comes to the level of shamelessness.’Near the city's outskirts, at the Sunrise Hotel that offered its customers manor-style accommodation…Outside the suite, Zenovia rang the
“So what if she’s found herself a backer?” Nollace’s gaze looked cold and indifferent. “The first condition that someone in her industry must have in order for her to be able to serve high-end customers is chastity. She obviously has a body that has undergone quite a series of history, and if she wants to pretend to be a first timer, there’s only one way for her to do so.”Edison frowned. “But she’s making Donald profits. If we were to make a move on her, Donald will definitely not stand by and watch.”‘In Donald’s eyes, the only thing that he cares about is his interests. So who can guarantee he won’t side with Lisa to protect his interests?’Nollace scoffed. “Lisa isn’t the only person who can bring Donald benefits. In the Queen of the Nights, since when will it end well when a woman runs out of value?”A few days later…Daisie returned to the college and overheard her classmates talking about Nollace’s engagement.Daisie stopped outside the rehearsal room, and her gaze landed
Zenovia put the coffee down. “It’s only a matter of time before we get engaged. Are you angry only because I’ve made it public without your permission?”There was not even a trace of turbulence in Nollace’s eyes. “Who told you that I’ll agree to that?”“His Majesty has high hopes about our marriage.” Zenovia got up and approached Nollace. “I’m confident that you’ll fall in love with me in no time after getting together with me.”He let off a scoff all of a sudden, but his expression looked sullen. “You’ve crossed a line with your wittiness.”Zenovia‘s eyes were filled with a hint of presumptuous hilarity as she approached him. “I don’t care about your indifference. After all, I like you, and I’ll definitely be able to please you more than that Cinderella girlfriend of yours.”“Oh really?” Nollace was expressionless, and his gaze turned even colder. “Do you know what I’ll do to someone like you?”Zenovia chuckled. “No matter what you do to me, they’ll all be exceptionally charming
“What do you mean he’s mine? I’m only in a relationship with him. How will I be able to stop him if he really wants to dump me and get together with someone else?”As soon as she said so, the person who had been standing behind her leaned forward and whispered next to her ear, “So, does that mean you want to have a closer relationship with me?”Daisie trembled in fright.Freyja had seen Nollace long ago but deliberately did not tell Daisie that.“I’ll bring Daisie away first.” Nollace grabbed her hand.Daisie failed to break free from his grasp and turned to Freyja for help.However, Freyja shrugged as if she had not seen anything. “Go ahead.”“Freyja—”Freyja smiled and waved at her. “See you around.”Nollace had already brought Daisie to the front of the car when she managed to shake him off. “I won’t go with you.”He blocked her against the car door. “Are you mad?”Daisie turned her face away and snorted softly.Nollace embraced her. “I knew you must be jealous. Isn’t th
‘As long as King William doesn’t agree to their relationship, then it’s absolutely impossible for Nollace to marry her!’After the Livingstons had dinner with William, they happened to run into Diana at the entrance as they were about to leave the palace.Zenovia knew that Diana was Nollace’s mother, so she took the initiative to greet Diana, “Aunty Diana.”“Since when have I become your aunt?” Diana’s response stiffened Zenovia’s expression.Diana glared at her with a stern look. “You know that my son has a girlfriend, but you still insist on sticking your hand into their relationship. I wonder if all the daughters of the wealthy families in your country are as shameless as you are.”Zenovia looked a little embarrassed. She had been under the impression that Princess Diana of Yaramoor would be as kind and amiable as she appeared to be on the surface, but what she said was so savage that it was borderline slander.Juneau frowned. “Mrs. Knowles, isn’t what you just said a little h
Nollace tidied the strands of hair sticking to her cheek and responded softly, “I’m here.”After a long while, the only response he got was the sound of her shallow and lengthened breathing.Nollace sat on the edge of the bed and watched her for a while.His pocket vibrated suddenly, and he took out his cell phone. It was a text message.A photo was attached to the text message, and the photo showed that the young woman walking next to Juneau was Lisa.The next day, it was cloudy and rainy.Juneau’s assistant pushed open the bedroom door and handed a parcel to him. “Mr. Livingston, this is yours.”Juneau had just finished taking a shower. He slowly tied the belt of his bathrobe and glanced at the parcel. “Who sent this?”“I don’t know. The delivery man only told me that it must be received by you.”Juneau took the package, walked to the couch, sat down, and opened the package. The box was the size of his palm and very light. He did not know what was in it.When he opened the
Lisa patted her skirt calmly to clean the dust. “Whether I dare to do so or not depends solely on your attitude, Mr. Livingston. As long as I can get out of our business relationship unscathed, your secret will go into the grave with me. However, if I can’t step backward safely, don’t blame me for wrecking your family and ruining your reputation.”‘I’ll hit him where it hurts by pinching his future. People of higher status are usually afraid of such messes. This hobby is enough to destroy the image of a good husband and father he has been maintaining in front of others in Haniston.‘People in the upper class have a lot of fun, but they’ll never allow their actions to be exposed and be used against them. Because they have the money, they’ll keep everybody’s mouths shut. And when those women get paid the right amount, it’s only natural for them to keep things to themselves. After all, they’re afraid of getting into trouble too.‘But I’m different. If he leaves me with no other choice,
“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
