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
Nollace lowered his gaze and smoothed out his sleeves. “Could it be that you’re going to acknowledge Freyja?”Colton’s eyes turned cold. “What do you mean?”“I’m sure you know what I mean.” Nollace raised his head and looked at Colton meaningfully. “Your ambiguous relationship and the disparity between you are obstacles to her. She doesn't dare to take the first step, while you don't want to. So, it's best to end it before it's too late.”Nollace walked past him toward his car. Edison opened the door for him.Suddenly, Colton’s voice rang out. “Do you think you know the things between her and me very well?”Three years ago, she had been the one who blocked him and avoided him. He had never been toyed with by someone like that before.She was the one who refused to admit their relationship.Nollace stopped in front of his car and said without turning his head, “I don’t know what is going on between you two, but I know her well. Do you think she'd misunderstand if you were willing
Nollace responded with a hum. “Now.”“But I’ll need to grab some documentation in order for us to get married...”Nollace took a few documents out, and Daisie was shocked. “How did you get your hands on them?”He chuckled. “It's, of course, my father-in-law’s doing.”He and Colton were at the Goldmann mansion today, talking about matters regarding Taylorton. At some point, Nolan asked to talk to him privately. He wanted Nollace to do something in order to commit himself to Daisie and make his position known.And with that being asked, Nollace actually took advantage of the opportunity to obtain her documentation.Daisie did not expect that her father would actually give him her documentation. She thought of something and turned her head away. “But you haven’t even formally proposed to me yet.”He calmly explained, “We’ll get married first, and I’ll give you a wedding proposal after this. I have everything planned out.”This made her nervous. She still felt extremely uneasy when
‘And after Freyja left, Colton left without even eating, leaving Ms. Peterson behind and saying that something came up and he was busy. It was all fake, wasn't it?‘It turns out that Colton and Freyja’s relationship has already developed to this extent!’Freyja did not expect to be discovered by Daisie. She did not know how to explain it all of a sudden and stood up in embarrassment. “Daisie, I’m sorry, we actually—”“Wait.” Daisie raised her hand to interrupt her and took a deep breath. “Give me a minute or two. This is too much information for me to handle at once. Have you two been together since long ago?”Freyja lowered her gaze. “You can’t consider us to be together.”Colton turned to look at her. His eyes dimmed, but he was eerily calm.After a while, he said indifferently, “Freyja, you don’t want to admit it in front of Daisie, do you?”Freyja remained silent, pursing her lips.“It seems that I don’t have to explain to you.” He turned around, walked away with a sneer, a
It was a ring box.Daisie subconsciously pinched the ring hanging on her necklace. “Isn’t there a ring already there?”“This is different.” Nollace stopped behind her and smiled. “The ring from three years ago can only be regarded as a token of love, not an official one.”Daisie looked back at him. “Isn’t that a little too clearly categorized?”Nollace walked over, took the ring box off the string, and walked toward her.Daisie could not help but feel nervous and stare at him.He knelt down on one knee in front of her and opened the ring box in his hand. Inside the ring box was a cornflower blue sapphire ring with his name engraved on the surface.“Ms. Vanderbilt, will you marry me so that we can hold each other’s hand for the rest of our lives? But beware, after accepting my ring, you’ll lose all chances to get a divorce.”Daisie was instantly amused and lowered her head, but her eyes were bloodshot. “What kind of marriage proposal is this?”“Will you?”She stretched out her
Daisie shrank into the water in fright and blushed. “I... I’ll be done right away.”Nollace smiled helplessly. “I only want to remind you not to submerge yourself in the bathtub for too long. You might faint from all the heat.”After he finished speaking, he put her clothes down. “I’ve placed your pajamas at the door.”Daisie responded with a faint hum.When the silhouette disappeared, she got up from the bathtub, pulled off the towel, and wrapped her body with it.She then pulled the bathroom door slightly open. The pajamas he had prepared were neatly folded and placed right next to the door.She changed into her pajamas and walked out of the bathroom. Her hair was soaked with water and still wet, and her fair and rosy skin was tightly fitted into the ice silk pajamas.Daisie probed her head into the bedroom. Nollace was sitting on the chaise longue with his legs crossed, covering his forehead with one hand and flipping through a magazine with the other.His gaze was fixed on
After a long time, the two finally separated from each other.Nollace rubbed her lips repeatedly. “It’s time to go to bed.”Daisie became nervous subconsciously.‘Is it possible that the important moment is already here?’Before she could recollect her thoughts, Nollace had picked her up and carried her to the bed. The moment he laid her down, she felt even more uneasy.Nollace tucked her under the blanket, did not take any further action, lay down beside her, and hugged her. “Get yourself some sleep already. Good night.”Daisie stared blankly at the ceiling.‘When he said it’s time to go to bed, he’s only referring to a pure rest?’She turned and stared at Nollace.Nollace had closed his eyes, and a trace of tiredness could be seen on his face as if he was really sleepy.Daisie breathed a sigh of relief.‘That’s normal. Arranging all these and decorating the villa must be very tiring.’She turned over carefully to face him, snuggled into his arms, and closed her eyes.Out
