Daisie smiled. “That's all the more reason for me to sharpen myself up.”“Are you willing to leave Nollace behind, though?”Daisie was stumped.Xyla chuckled. “If you want to return to your own country, it means you have to separate from Nollace. You two will need to maintain a long-distance relationship. Are you not worried that your beloved Nolly will fall in love with someone else?” Daisie was tongue-tied, and she grabbed the cup tightly. Suddenly, a chuckle rang out behind her. “You should probably stop teasing her.”Xyla turned her head around and saw Yorrick standing behind her with Xena.She stretched her arm forward to get Xena and chuckled. “I’m not teasing her. I’m just giving her a warning.”Yorrick looked toward Daisie and asked, “So what do you think?”Daisie pressed her lips thin and replied, “I… I don’t know…”“Both of you are still young.” Yorrick sat on the couch and said calmly, “Life is a long journey of trials and tribulations. If you two separate just b
Both of them turned their heads to look at Colton and asked at the same time. “Then who is it for?”Colton was obviously not happy with the surprising bond between the two. He snatched the cup of coffee away from Freyja’s hand and said, “They are both for me. Do you have a problem with that?”“Umm…” His friend scratched his head and waved his hand. “Alright, alright. I’ll go buy one myself.”When Freyja was about to leave, Colton stopped her. “Where are you going?”She smiled. “I already brought you the coffee that you asked for, so I can leave already, right?”“You promised me that you would listen to everything I tell you until I say stop.” Colton approached her as a smile appeared on the corner of her lips. “I haven’t said stop yet.”Freyja took a deep breath as she tried her best to suppress the rage that was building inside of her.Not only did she lose the surfing game to him a month ago, but he also saved her. She had agreed to his request to be his "personal assistant”.
Daisie buried herself in Nollace’s chest and clutched at his clothes. “You need to promise me. Promise me that you won’t fall in love with another woman.”A laugh spilled from Nollace’s throat as he said, “I’ll not fall in love with anyone other than you, Daisie. You can have my word.” He looked toward the corner, and his gaze turned grim.He couldn’t promise Daisie a good future since he hadn’t gotten rid of Donald yet. Therefore, rather than letting Daisie stay by his side, it would be better for him to clear all the obstacles and bring the Knowles back to their feet first. When that happened, he would be able to go see her with his head held high. A week later, at the Hilton Villas…After Daisie submitted her graduation application to the college, she had been at home these days preparing her resume for management companies. Waylon made a cup of coffee, brought it to the study room, and put it on the table. He glanced across the monitor and said, “Why don’t you return to
Nollace flipped through the newspaper and lifted his eyelids. “She won’t be able to run away from me.”Diana did not know what to say. Things wouldn’t be so complicated if Daisie wasn’t one of the Goldmanns, and Nollace could marry her right away. However, the reality was that Daisie was someone of special background. She was certain that Nolan wouldn’t let her son marry his daughter that easily. Rick was making tea. After Diana went upstairs, he looked at his son. “Nollace, if you really like Daisie, and if she likes you too, you should just ask her to stay here.”Nollace closed the newspaper and said faintly, “I can’t guarantee her safety if she stays with me. This time, my enemy is on a different level than Zenovia.”He did not think Zenovia was a threat, but his enemy this time was different.Rick was smart, so he instantly knew what Nollace was talking about.“What happened?”“Do you still remember Donald?”Rick’s face sank when he heard the name. “Of course, I remember
Freyja was rendered speechless.‘Jeez, talk about the devil.’Freyja retracted her hand, ran her finger over the dial, and turned her head to look at Colton. “Why have you not graduated yet while your sister has already graduated?”“It’s none of your business, right?” replied Colton. He looked at her watch for a few seconds and commented, “It looks good on you.”Freyja was stunned.If it were in the past, he would have criticized her whenever she took a gift from Daisie. Daisie cupped her chin with her hands and chuckled. “Of course, it looks nice on Freyja. I was the one who picked it.”Colton pulled a chair and took a seat. “When are you going back?”“In a few more days,” replied Daisie. She paused for a few moments and continued. “Promise me that you won’t bully Freyja after I go back.”Colton looked at Freyja and chuckled. Then, he said to Daisie, “Why don’t you ask her and see if I have bullied her or not.”He was saying this because he knew Freyja wouldn’t dare to spea
Colton walked toward the two sales clerks and tapped his knuckles against the countertop. “Wrapped anything that the lady from earlier showed interest in. I’m buying every single one of them.”The two sales clerks looked embarrassed.Freyja waited outside for more than 20 minutes, looking down at her watch from time to time to the extent that her feet went numb.‘If I were to know that this is the case, I might as well have chosen to stay in the car.’Two gift boxes were suddenly handed to her, and Colton’s deep voice came from behind. “Hold them.”Freyja glanced at the bags, grabbed them impatiently, and turned around to face him. “Mr. Goldmann, may we go back?”Colton looked at her. “Is there nothing that you want to buy?”“I won’t use any of those items,” she claimed.Colton scoffed and said, for mercy’s sake, “If you don’t have money, I can lend it to you.” Freyja chuckled and restrained her laugh immediately. “Do you think I’m poor?”He responded with a faint hum. “It s
Daisie and Nollace had only had a handful of opportunities to eat alone—there were people present most of the time.Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that she had never had a formal date with Nollace.And when she was a little distracted, she felt something soft and gentle on her fingertip. She regained her senses, and that was when Nollace bit her finger while he went for the piece of shrimp meat.A current jolted from her fingertip to her heart and numbed it.She pulled her hand back subconsciously and looked around.Upon seeing that her ears were flushed as she could not take a tease, Nollace’s laughter intensified.Compared to her slight nervousness, he seemed very calm and composed. “Have you signed a contract with a company?”She nodded. “Yes, I’ve signed a contract with a new entertainment company.”Thinking of something, she bit her fork and hesitated for a few seconds before asking, “Nollace, would you get angry if I were to get a romantic performance offer?”No
The paparazzi hiding in the shadows took a few pictures one after another.Several cars followed each other closely, driving toward the Goldmann mansion at a reasonable speed.Daisie looked out the window. After living abroad for a few years, she returned to Bassburgh again, but she realized that she was not used to it.She held the ring on the necklace in her palm and pressed her fist against her chest.‘The next time when he comes to see me, I will have transformed too. At least I will no longer be the Daisie who can only stay behind him and be protected by him.‘I’ll become the Daisie who can stand by his side confidently.’At the Goldmann mansion…Nicholas, Maisie, and Nolan were waiting in the living room until the familiar figure sprinted in. “Mom, Dad, Grandpa!”With a smile on his face, Nicholas waved. “Daisie, you’re finally back. Come over and let me have a look.”Daisie trotted forward and stood in front of Nicholas. He took a good look at her and said with relief,
