The honk startled a passerby, who glared at them, but they couldn’t hear what she yelled at him. It was different for Colton, who was in the driver’s seat. He could hear it clearly, and his face turned dark. “Freyja Pruitt!” Colton opened the door, grabbed her wrist, and gnashed his teeth. “What did you call me?”She wouldn’t escape and couldn’t break free of his grip. Her wrist started hurting from being grabbed too hard, so she yelled, “Let go of me!”Colton grabbed her chin and leaned closer. “Say it again.”He sounded threatening. Freyja stopped struggling and chuckled. “Are you going to hit me again?”Colton laughed maniacally. “I never hit you—” He paused and didn’t continue. He had lost control the previous time, but he didn’t hit her!“You wouldn’t remember something so menial.” Freyja pulled her hand away and rubbed her wrist. “I’m going to leave if you have nothing more to say. I wouldn’t want to be an eyesore.”She tried to walk away, but Colton blocked her wit
“Deedee!” Freyja didn’t know what to do with her. Deedee had never seen her parents ever since she was born, so she called anyone ‘Daddy’.Freyja sighed before turning to Colton to explain, “Don’t mind her. She’s just a kid. Please drive safely.”She was going into the house with Deedee in her arms, but Deedee grabbed onto his shirt.The nanny was shocked and immediately walked forward. “Deedee, behave.”Freyja was going to stop Deedee, but Colton stretched out his arms and took her over. Freyja was shocked. “You…”Colton hugged her, but more importantly, he knew how to carry her, and it was obvious that it wasn’t his first time holding a child. Not only did Deedee not cry, but she even laughed happily and started playing with his har.Colton wasn’t angry about that because he had carried children before, including Helios’ daughter and his uncle’s son.Children were soft, but they were really strong, adorable miniature humans. Freyja seemed to have discovered a whole new wor
Daisie pressed her lips together and said, “I was thinking about Colton. I keep feeling that something is off with him.”Waylon looked down. “Don’t over-analyze it.”Dasie received a text from Freyja and checked it. The content made her drop her cutlery.Waylon frowned. “What’s wrong?”Daisie was shocked. “Colton is having dinner with Freyja. Is this really Colton?”He must have been possessed!After sending the message to Daisie, Freyja pretended to put her phone away and looked toward Colton.Deedee sat next to him, enjoying Colton’s feeding. He never looked annoyed the entire time, and even though the food was all over Deedee’s face, he would just wipe it off for her. That scene was odd yet wholesome.“Sir, please have your dinner. I can take care of Deedee.” The nanny walked over and took Deedee in her arms, then brought her upstairs.Deedee quietly lay her head on the nanny’s shoulder. She was well behaved. Only the two of them were left in the living room.Freyja lo
Colton looked at the coffee bag in the cup and squinted. “I don’t drink instant coffee.”“I’m so sorry, we only have instant,” said Freyja with a smile.The nanny overheard her as she brought fruits and was curious, “Ma’am, there are coffee beans in the cabinet. I just got them.”Freyja was rendered speechless. Colton had to hold in his laugh. “Ms. Pruitt, is this how you treat your guests?”The nanny thought that he was upset, so she said, “I’m sorry, sir. Please forgive her. I didn’t tell her we got the beans. Let me go brew some for you.”Colton was very nice to her. “There’s no need, thank you.”The nanny nodded and left. He picked up a piece of fruit and looked at Freyja, who was standing there. “I won’t hold this against you.”Freyja turned to walk upstairs. Colton saw her disappear up her stairs and was weirdly unsettled, so he pushed the dish away and left.Freyja heard the sound of the car driving away and looked out the window. She didn’t see the car in the cour
The Livingstons finally welcomed peace after that incident.After Nollace showed himself in public, the rumors about him getting abducted shattered. The media did not know what happened to him in Haniston.King William received Nollace in the White Ivy Palace. When Nollace walked into King William’s study room, King William was practicing calligraphy as he was very much into the kind of art. “Are you the one who did those things to the Livingstons?”In fact, after what happened to the Livingstons, King William had more or less guessed that Nollace's disappearance in Haniston was probably just a cover.Nollace walked to the desk and said, “Not really. I just presented an opportunity to Xavi.”King William raised his head to look at him. “Do you know that you’re a bag full of surprises?”He chuckled. “Is that a compliment?”“Initially, I was worried that you couldn’t work independently, but it seems like I was wrong.” King William put the pen down and looked at his own work. “Yo
After Ken’s death, Lara went missing. Therefore, as long as Lara was still holding the legacy, they would keep looking for her.Edison was stunned. “How are they so sure that you know Ms. Reese's whereabouts?”Nollace lifted his eyelids and said calmly, “Who knows? Perhaps there are still some loose ends that we overlooked.”…The green leaves outside of the cafe were turning yellow.A woman wearing sunglasses walked to the window seat. After she sat down, she took off her sunglasses and looked at the man across from her. "You said you could help me, so who the hell are you?"A smile broke across the man’s face as he said, “You don’t need to know who I am, Ms. Livingston. You just need to know that I’m the only one who can help you.”Zenovia scoffed coldly. “Why should I trust you?”“Why should you trust me? Because we both share one common enemy, Nollace.”Zenovia was stunned. She clenched her hand under the table tightly and raised her guard. “If you have a grudge against hi
Nollace placed his lips on her forehead and landed numerous kisses on it. “I'll take tomorrow off and go with you.”Daisie’s eyelashes fluttered. “Really?”He chuckled. “Of course. I need to take a holiday once in a while as well, okay?”“That's been decided then.”She grinned from ear to ear, looking forward to the trip.Suddenly, she remembered something and picked her phone up to send a message to Freyja.“Let's call Freyja. I'm sure she has nothing to do during the holidays.”Nollace was rendered speechless.He dragged her into his arms and began showering her lips with a flurry of kisses. “I thought you just wanted to go with me, Daisie.”Daisie could barely catch her breath. After he left her lips, she breathed heavily and buried herself in his chest while mumbling, "Are you even jealous of Freyja?"A peal of laughter spilled from his throat as he said, “Will you still care about me after you've had your best friend?”“Of course, I will.” Daisie wrapped her arms around
Daisie smiled. “Does this mean that I can go, brother?”Waylon looked at the swimming suit on the bed and pointed at it. “Bring this swimming suit with you. That one doesn’t look good on you.”Daisie was stumped and felt embarrassed. She did not expect that her brother would know about it!The next morning, Freyja was waiting for her in the courtyard.Daisie pushed her suitcase out of the door. She was wearing a light blue halter dress with flower patterns, a pair of sandals with beads, and a wide-brimmed hat. She looked fresh and sharp.Freyja asked, “Have you chosen your swimsuit?”She turned her head to look inside the house and went closer to Freyja to whisper into her ear. “My eldest brother doesn’t allow me to bring the bikini, but I secretly slipped it into my suitcase.”Freyja couldn’t help but chuckle. “That’s awesome. So what? Are you going to seduce Nollace?”“I’m not!” Daisie replied, “There will be a bunch of bikini girls at the beach, and I can't be outdone by the
