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
Daisie’s every move was under scrutiny by the media, and she knew how inconvenient it was to be a public figure. Since Nollace wasn’t part of the industry, she feared it would affect him. Freyja smiled. “You’re thinking about your husband after your ROM.”She blushed. “He’s my husband. Naturally, I have to protect him.”Something came to her mind, so she turned to look at Freyja. “How’s it going with Colton?”Freyja froze, then looked out the window. “Who knows…”“What do you mean? Colton likes you, and you feel the same too. Isn’t that great?”“It’s not as simple as that.” Freyja lowered her gaze. “Daisie, can we keep my relationship with Colton secret from your family?”Daisie paused and stared at her. She then leaned back in her seat. “Are you worried that my family may be against it?”Freyja looked around. “That’s not the reason…”Even if the Goldmanns accepted her, how long would their relationship last?If the relationship was complicated to begin with, would it even e
“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
