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
“My mind is clear.” Zenovia stared at Juneau with no expression. “Dad, this was all your fault. If it weren’t for Lisa, I wouldn’t have learned that you have been cheating on Mom. You’ve always been a good dad, but that was all a lie.”“Zenovia—”“I did all that because Nollace knows what you did. If he exposed you, the consequences would be severe. I was just thinking about our family.”Juneau held his breath and looked sick and pale as if he had lost his will to fight back. Zenovia was still calm. “Don’t blame me. Your sentence will ensure that our family is safe. Don’t worry. No one is going to discover your secrets. I’ve got you the best lawyer team in Haniston, and even if you’re sentenced to prison, you’ll get a reduced sentence. That’s all that I can do for you.”She ended the call and left. Juneau froze in his seat because never would he imagined that he would one day fall at his daughter’s hands. When he was brought away by the police, he had been laughing and crying b
Diana scoffed, “That’s true. She won’t be able to take Daisie’s place as long as I’m around.”Meanwhile, at the college…Daisie and Freyja were having their meal in the canteen when she suddenly got a call from Diana, who asked her to go over for dinner with Nollace. After the call ended, Freyja smiled and said, “I guess my aunt already treats you as her daughter-in-law.”Daisie blushed when she heard the word ‘daughter-in-law’. “You need to stuff more food in your mouth.”The people sitting at the next table were talking about how Zenovia became the god-granddaughter of the king because the news spread everything, and Zenovia was cast under the limelight.After Daisie heard that, she looked toward Freyja.Freyja looked up. “What’s wrong?”Daisie shook her head and lowered her eyes. “Don't you care?”Freyja was the king’s granddaughter, but the king would rather take someone with no blood relation to him as his granddaughter. That was ironic. Freyja drank her drink and look
Sandy did not get anything after giving birth to Ken, and Ken’s identity was not recognized. That was the cause of Sandy's hatred for William’s legal wife and Nollace’s mother, Diana.Even though Diana had never made things difficult for Sandy and accepted Ken and Freyja, it did not mean that she could forgive her father for his mistake. Nollace walked into the living room, and Diana was talking happily with Daisie. Everyone with eyes could see that Diana adored Daisie very much.He pulled the chair and took a seat. Rick put down the newspaper and asked, “What do you think about Ms. Livingston, Nollace?”When they heard the question, Diana and Daisie turned their heads around to look at him.Nollace replied, “It doesn’t matter what I think. What matters is how Grandpa thinks. He's stubborn, and no one, including me, can change his mind after he makes a decision.”Diana’s face sank as she chimed in. “In my opinion, your grandfather just has too much time in his hands.”Daisie wa
“Yes.” Nollace went closer to her and said, “She prepared all of this for you, Daisie.”Daisie lowered her head. She did not know where she should look, and her cheeks were red. “Thank you. I like it very much.”Nollace wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his chest. She swallowed hard and pressed her lips tightly. Her eyelashes were trembling, and her heart was jumping wildly. “Nolly, you— Ugh!”He leaned forward and planted a kiss on her lips. Daisie clenched her fists tightly on his chest, and his tongue slipped into her mouth when she opened her mouth to breathe.She could barely stand right now. She stumbled toward the back, and they fell on the bed.Nollace propped himself up with a hand and protected the back of her head with the other.She stopped breathing for a moment and became even more nervous.The warm white light showered on the bed. Nollace looked at her reddened cheeks fixedly and said, “Daisie.”“Yeah?” she replied in a low voice.Both of th
