Nollace let off a chuckle and complimented her sarcastically, “You’re very smart, Ms. Livingston.”Zenovia was happy. “I’ll take this as a compliment.”Nollace’s eyes squinted slightly, and he added gloomily and sullenly, “But you’re too presumptuous.”Zenovia was startled.Nollace got up, walked up to the French window, and stopped in front of the window pane. “You’re in such a hurry to get married to me because of your father.”Zenovia looked at him in surprise.Nollace then explained calmly, “Your father killed someone, and the police are now onto him. Once the police discover this matter is related to your father, the Livingstons will be forever condemned back in Haniston. Your father is anxious about reconciling with me, and the incident that took place at the banquet has never been his main focus.”“Mr. Knowles, what nonsense are you talking about?” Zenovia was flustered.‘Father killed that woman whose name is Lisa because she threatened him. He did so only to protect hi
Since Juneau had the guts to use his daughter to sow discord, he would never have imagined that the person who first planned to get rid of Lisa through him would be Nollace.A week later…Daisie was preparing for the exam at the college as always. When the exam was over, she went to the office building to look for the professor and asked for the list of titles of her graduation thesis in drama and film performance.The professor was a little surprised. “Are you planning to prepare for the topic of your graduation thesis in advance?”Daisie nodded. She was a year away from graduation, but Colton was already preparing for his graduation, and she did not want to procrastinate.At the Royal College of Victoria, the graduation requirement was simple. As long as the students had completed all subjects of the course and obtained good grades in all those subjects, they would be able to apply for graduation in advance.The Drama, Theater, and Film department was no exception.“Okay then.
Freyja fought her way through the crowd, and her expression changed instantly when she saw the person lying on the ground. She hurried forward and shouted, “Daisie!”She called out to the crowd around them, “Call an ambulance!”Daisie was sent to the hospital. Freyja stood anxiously in the corridor and waited until Waylon and Colton arrived.Colton stepped forward quickly, grabbed her wrist, and asked, “Why would Daisie faint all of a sudden?”Freyja did not answer.Waylon lifted his hand and placed it on his shoulder. “Cole, calm down.”Only then did Colton let go of her, his expression terrifyingly gloomy.At that moment, the doctor came out of the ward, and Waylon asked, “How is she?”The doctor took off the mask and replied, “It’s not a big problem. The patient’s diet and lifestyle have been a little irregular. When these issues are coupled with fatigue, they lead to hypoglycemia and a blackout. She’ll have to adjust her lifestyle for a period.”After the doctor left, Wayl
“Nevertheless, we’ve never thought about preventing Nollace and Daisie from being together. However, if Nollace gets engaged to Daisie before the Knowles Group manages to stabilize its development, the public opinion won’t favor him at all.”Freyja took a deep breath. “But what if he doesn’t care about that?”“He may not care about that, but does Daisie not care about it too?” Waylon’s words hit Freyja directly. “Daisie believes that she wants to get engaged to Nollace because of her feelings for him, but the public will only believe that Nollace wants to get engaged to her only because of what’s in it for him. A controversial marriage won’t last long. Who can guarantee that their relationship will never be affected by all those controversies?“Even when a powerful man wants to marry a woman of unequal status, he will still require the woman’s family to be pure and squeaky clean. And when it comes to a marriage between two wealthy and powerful families, the equal match in terms of t
Daisie sobbed softly. “I just don’t want others to see you that way.”Nollace’s lips landed on the tip of her nose and cheeks, and his warmth was on the brink of scorching her. “I don’t care how others view me, but Daisie, if I want to marry you, we can’t let our marriage be filled with all sorts of controversies. My future wife shouldn’t be exposed to all these public opinions.”‘No matter what the controversies are, I’ll be able to handle them. But Daisie might not be able to do the same. She’s very sentimental and is easily influenced by public opinion.‘Even if she’s being assaulted by the public for me, I won’t allow that.’“Daisie,” He kissed her, “Give me some time. Wait for the day to come when I’m able to marry you without any questions from the public.”Daisie suddenly turned over and pressed him against the bed. “I don’t care! You’ve made me angry for so many days, you must compensate me!”Nollace was stunned. He stared at the person sitting on his body and laughed abr
Xyla turned to look at them. “If you didn’t come back, Daisie would rush out.”Daisie’s face was steaming as she buried her head under the covers.Yorrick laughed. “Stop teasing her. Are you going to calm her down if she cries?”“I won’t have to. She has someone to do that.”Xyla walked toward Yorrick, held his arm, and looked at Nollace. “Take care of your future wife. We’re leaving.”Nollace nodded. They were the only people left in the room. Daisie popped her head out from under the covers and put one hand on the edge of the bed. A shadow loomed over her while a warm breath blew onto her hair. “You’re embarrassed?”Her face was burning hot as she avoided his gaze. “What did Uncle Yorrick say to you?”“Take a guess.”“No.” Nollace touched her hair and looked deep into her eyes. “He said that I…” He leaned in and whispered into her ear.Daisie laughed, then hit him. “Nollace!”Nollace sat at the edge of the bed and laughed, not moving away.That afternoon, at the Sunr
Nollace picked up someone’s call, and Diana held onto Daisie's hand when he got up to leave. “Don’t blame Nollace. He really wants to marry you. He didn’t stop working even when he was sick.“He’s someone who loves to handle everything by himself. He would rather be misunderstood than explain himself. But as a mother, I understand him and know he likes you a lot.”Daisie paused, then after a while, she looked down and mumbled, “Really?”She was curious. Nollace didn’t remember their past, so when did he start having feelings for her?Diana laughed. “You’re so lovable. If I like you too, it’s impossible that he doesn’t.”The girl had some sort of magic to her. She was innocent, and her kindness was contagious and made people not want to leave her and want to protect her.Diana thought that was how her son felt too, and that was why he was so in love. Outside, Nollace answered the call from Edison, who said that a guard from the hospital was robbed by someone with a gun and was s
Freyja knew that she was too frank, and since she didn’t understand the entire situation, she couldn’t blame anyone if she took a hit. “You’re good at offending people.” Colton looked at her before taking his leave. Freyja stood in her spot and thought about what he meant. Was he implying that she was offensive?But flattery wasn’t her style. That evening, at the Hilton Villas…Daisie walked into the living room and smelled dinner, so she walked into the kitchen. Waylon!”Waylon wore a black shirt and made a stew with one hand on his waist. The kitchen was filled with the smell of stew. He adjusted the heat, then turned to face her. “Dinner is ready. Wash your hands.”“Okay.” Daisie happily rolled up her sleeves. The housekeeper had been on leave since Waylon was back.After the food was placed on the table, Daisie immediately picked up her fork to try it.Waylon handed her some potatoes. “Do you like it?”She smiled happily. “Yes, you’re as good of a cook as Dad. I wond
“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
