Maisie looked at Freyja, who was standing not too far away. “You said you were going to bring her to see me, but I think you’ve forgotten about me.”Daisie suddenly remembered and immediately asked Freyja to come over. “Mom, this is Freyja Pruitt.”Freyja looked cautious. “Hello, Mrs. Goldmann.”Maisie smiled. “There’s no need to be nervous. I don't bite. Daisie mentioned you when she was in Yaramoor and said that you helped her a lot. I’ve always wanted to meet you.”Freyja lowered her head. “It’s nothing.”“It’s important to me.” Freyja was surprised and looked up into Maisie’s eyes. Maisie looked at her. “Before Daisie started working, everyone at home pampered her. When she and Colton went abroad to study, I was worried she would be manipulated, just like Lisa did.“However, you’ve greatly helped her in Yaramoor and treated her sincerely. I appreciate you.”Freyja smiled. “Daisie was nice to me first and helped me too.”Daisie grabbed Maisie’s arm. “Mom, do you finally
Maisie knew that Colton would even criticize his father, but she was also well aware of his personality. He wouldn’t just criticize someone without reason.When he hated Lisa, he would just ignore her instead of attacking her.That proved he would simply ignore the people he hated, but those that he would criticize meant something else.Freyja saw that Maisie was staring at her and felt chills running down her spine. She felt uneasy.Freyja and Colton’s relationship was complicated, and she didn’t want anyone to know about that, especially the Goldmanns.Daisie wanted to help her, but the Goldmanns might think that Freyja was complaining to Daisie.Colton would probably think the same. She thought that wasn’t too bad.It would at least end their complicated relationship so that she could just keep all that in her heart. At that moment, Maisie suddenly spoke. “Freyja, come to have dinner with us with Daisie. You came all the way to Bassburgh for her and aren’t familiar with thi
Colton could guess what was going on and chuckled. “Daisie is busy with her career. Announcing her marriage might affect it.”Daisie was suddenly unhappy and put down her cutlery. “People who’re in the industry are allowed to get married. The worst that can happen is that I will lose fans, but I’m not worried about that. Even if I get married, it shouldn’t affect anything.”“Oh, then why hasn’t Mr. Knowles proposed to you yet? Has he changed his mind?”Daisie gnashed her teeth as she knew he was attacking her because of her complaint.She took a deep breath and forced a smile. “Colton, why don’t you mind your own business? You incel.”Colton smiled. “Who’s an incel?”“Whoever answers is the incel.”She then got up and went upstairs.Maisie helplessly shook her head. They were acting like rugrats. “Colton, angering your sister won’t do you any good.”Colton was casual about it. “What could go wrong?”Maisie placed down her cutlery and asked him, “You’re not exactly young anymo
Colton raised his eyebrows. “What’s going on?”Leonardo covered the phone and looked troubled. “Mr. Goldmann, the realtor said that that villa was sold two days ago.”Colton and Leonardo went to the sales gallery and were warmly welcomed by the manager. After he found out why they were there, he could only smile sorrily. “Mr. Goldmann, I’m so sorry. This happened because my team wasn’t properly informed.”The villa had been sold two days ago, and the realtor forgot to remove the ad after the paperwork was finalized. Thus, this caused the misunderstanding. It would be alright just to apologize if it were any other person, but this party was the second heir of the Goldmanns—the hardest to deal with. Colton sat down on the couch while someone poured him a cup of coffee. “Who bought it?”Leonardo looked at him in surprise. Was he going to buy it from the buyer?The manager awkwardly said, “Um… Why don’t I help you find out?”Even if the buyer was somebody prominent, it was be
Edison passed the phone to Nollace.Nollace answered the phone and said, “It seems like you know it’s me, Colton.”Colton gnashed his teeth before asking, “Are you very poor now, Nollace? How could you scam my money?”Nollace chuckled and said, “I just want to see how much you want this villa. After all, you're not getting the villa if you don't pay enough for it.”Colton took a deep breath and said, “ We'll be seeing each other a lot from now onward, so you shouldn't burn your bridges in case you need them in the future.”Nollace knew what he was hinting at and chuckled. “I doubt you have a say in this. Have you ever asked your sister about it?”“Don’t you ever think of dragging my sister into this.”“Are you giving this villa to someone?”Colton was stunned and replied stiffly, “It’s none of your business.”“Then I guess there is no need for us to continue this conversation anymore.”Nollace hung up the call, and he could imagine how dark Colton's expression was on the othe
“I thought something happened. You look really pale now, you know?”“Really?” Freyja touched her face unconsciously, and then she froze.‘I look pale right now? But why? Is it because of the news? Is it because I care?’Daisie put her hand on her forehead. “Are you not feeling well?”Freyja took her hand away and said, “I’m fine, really. Maybe I didn’t sleep well last night.“Oh yeah, I heard that your brother is buying a new villa. Is he getting married soon?”“I’ve called him.” Daisie crossed her arms in front of her chest. “I was shocked and thought he was going to get married too.”After she finished speaking, she mumbled, “Well, there’s no way a man with a sharp tongue like my brother can get a wife.”The corner of Freyja’s lips quivered as she said slowly, “It seems to me that Ms. Peterson and your brother make quite a good couple. Maybe, she'll be your future sister-in-law.”“Giselle?” Daisie thought for a while and said, “It’s true that Giselle is gentle and ladylike,
When Freyja walked past him, Colton grabbed her arm and pulled her back.Losing her balance, she fell into his arms. She tried to free herself from his arms, but he did not allow her.“What the hell do you want now?”He covered her mouth and turned his face sideways. “Go brush your teeth first. Then, we’ll talk.”Freyja was rendered speechless. She pushed him away and walked into the restroom.Colton massaged his temples. ‘Does she think that I think she was the one who told Daisie to complain to our mother? Just what the hell is in her head?’After Freyja finished brushing her teeth, she came out of the restroom.Colton was standing in front of the window, talking to someone. When he saw her reflection through the window, he ended the call and turned around to look at her. “Can we talk now?”She was stunned. “What do you want to talk about?”Colton walked up to her. She took a step back unconsciously, but he pinned her into the corner. “We’re going to talk about your cousin
Two days later, at the Goldmann mansion…Nolan saw the news after returning from Octavia. He tossed the magazine on the table and raised his head to look at Colton and Nollace sitting opposite of him.“What were you two thinking?”Colton looked at Nollace and said, “Ask him.”Nollace just smiled and did not say anything.Nolan leaned against the back of the chair and crossed his legs. He gnashed his teeth and smiled. “You two made the headlines just because of one villa, and now the villas in Taylorton are selling like hotcakes because of what you did. It seems to me that you two are really good at helping others to improve their business.”Everyone wanted a villa from Taylorton after Colton and Nollace started fighting for a villa there. It was like a free advertisement for Taylorton. Nollace picked up a cup and said, “Don’t be angry, Uncle Nolan. Since Taylorton has the guts to take advantage of the news to bring up the price, considering your family's financial status, it sh
“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
