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
Daisie couldn’t peel her gaze away no matter how she tried. She did not know how he did it, but he looked very sexy even though he was just drying his hair.As he glanced across the window, Daisie was startled and squatted down to take cover. Her heart was pounding rapidly.‘If he knows that I’m looking at him, he might think I’m a pervert!’Just when she was about to sneak back into her room, she heard the sound of the floor-to-ceiling window next door being pulled open. Then, a shadow loomed over her as he called out to her. “Daisie.”Daisie froze and felt so embarrassed she just wanted to bury herself. She stood up, dusted her robe, and looked away. “The night view of this town is really nice.”“Yeah, it’s not bad.” Nollace chuckled. “Are you here to watch the night view?”She was stumped and did not dare to look him in the eyes. “Of course, I’m here to admire the night view.”“I see,” he replied. “Is the view nice?”She replied, “Yeah, It’s nice.”“Is the view nicer, or am
Daisie did not like this comment.‘I treat him as my boyfriend, and he treats me as his daughter?’Freyja glanced at Daisie’s depressed expression and suggested with a smile, “Don’t you want to go swimming? After breakfast, we’ll depart around noon.”When it came to swimming, Daisie was full of energy.On a hot day, the white sandy beach was filled with tourists and locals, and there were a lot of blue-eyed and green-eyed blondes in bikinis everywhere, all looking sexy and curvy.Daisie walked out of the dressing room wrapped in a bath towel. She was rather confident, but her self-confidence shattered in an instant when she saw those blonde beauties who looked voluptuous.“Daisie, why are you still standing here?”Freyja had changed into her swimsuit and came out of the dressing room, tying her long hair into a ponytail.Daisie stared at her. The swimsuit on her body was a one-piece with a bare back, which looked much more conservative than hers.But she really had it all.Fr
Daisie came to the beach, looked around, and soon found Freyja.Freyja stepped on the surfboard and balanced herself on the rolling waves. She reacted freely and easily while she was on the board. She performed so well that even the men who surfed around her could not help but chat with her. She did not look like a novice at all.Daisie was stunned by her. She really did not know that Freyja could surf—she looked so beautiful.The huge waves came again, and the waves gobbled up the few men who kept staring at Freyja.Suddenly, a figure dashed out from the other side of the waves. The man had a surfing suit and diving goggles, and he perfectly avoided the waves.Freyja glanced over and somehow felt that the man looked a little familiar. However, because of the distraction, the waves got to her.“Freyja!” exclaimed Daisie.Freyja could not dodge it in time and got engulfed by the wave.She then resurfaced, choking on the seawater.When Freyja swam back with the surfboard, Daisie
“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
