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
“This was for Colton.”Freyja was surprised. She lifted the cover and stared at the keys. “He plays the piano?”She wouldn’t have guessed that. She had been under the impression that Colton had always been a business person and didn’t know about his other interests. This was a side of him that she never knew about.Daisie said Colton was very musically talented and even went to the Royal Academy of Music. He could have become a musician but gave up because he had to take over the family business.Freyja was shocked. “That’s such a waste.”“It is, but that was his own choice.” Daisie looked down. Since Waylon had chosen to train with their great-grandfather overseas, Colton had to give up on music. Even though dreams were important, they had burdens to bear as Goldmanns.Freyja looked at her and seemed to understand why she wanted to be independent. It was because of her two brothers.She had always been pampered at home, but that didn’t make her a spoiled brat. She probably
That friendliness only extended to strangers and not friends. Friends showed emotions, but Colton never paid attention to her emotions. Even if her father never asked for his opinion before speaking to Nolan, he didn’t say much about it. “I’m curious about the kind of woman that would interest you.”Colton looked around. “Is it that important to you?”Giselle was honest. “If I’m not even in your consideration, I’m curious about the woman that you would fall for. She must be much better than I am.”And maybe that was the reason he never thought about her that way.If that woman was really outstanding, Giselle wouldn’t feel so bad about it. Colton was silent. There were a lot of outstanding women. Giselle, for example, was one of them. She came from a great family and was disciplined and always learning. She was a good example of a lady. A woman like her would be a great wife because she would be able to manage the household and help him with his business, but if a woman had
