Nollace paused for a split second and frowned. “She’s taking pills?”Daisie lowered her gaze. “It should be because Colton and Freyja don’t want a baby just yet. That’s why she’s taking those pills.”Nollace stared at her.‘This silly girl is really too innocent and simple when it comes to this aspect of life. I'd love to enlighten her right here if it weren’t because it’s not the right time now.’He gently rubbed the tip of her nose. “Dummy, taking those pills is very harmful to a woman’s body, and it’ll leave a great impact on a woman’s fertility in the future. If Colton cares about Freyja, he’ll definitely not allow her to take pills.”Daisie was dumbfounded. “Could it be that Freyja is secretly taking them without letting Colton know about it?”Nollace nodded. “Probably so.”Late at night, Nollace stood behind the French windows, starting over the dark and quiet courtyard.He glanced down at the text message on the screen of his phone.[Sorry, Mr. Knowles, we haven’t found
Daisie burst into laughter and played the video recording that she recorded on her phone to Susan. “I wonder what Mitchell will think when he sees this?”Susan’s expression changed instantly, and she rushed forward to snatch the phone.Daisie stepped back and put her hands behind her back.Susan threw herself into nothing and growled unwillingly, “Daisie Vanderbilt! How could you treat me like this? I’ve already begged you in such a manner! What do you want from me!?”Daisie took back the phone and glanced at her. “Are you really begging me? You’re only forced to beg me because I caught you in the act, isn’t that right?”Susan’s eyes turned bloodshot. “What’s the difference? Daisie Vanderbilt, I’ve been shelved by Zestar and have reached this point in my life. What else do you want me to do?”“Yeah, you’ve reached this point, but you still refuse to stop.” Daisie laughed. “Then why should I do as you wish?”She walked to the desk and called the front desk on the landline. Susan’
Freyja pushed him away and went out in a fit of anger. “I didn’t expect you to make me breakfast either.”Colton watched as she left the room, and his gaze immediately shifted back onto the drawer.Freyja went downstairs and was astonished when she saw the breakfast that had been prepared on the dining table.She really did not expect Colton to make breakfast for her, but she did not expect that he would actually do it.‘This fella, apart from having an irritating mouth, everything else is fine with him.’Colton walked downstairs unhurriedly and stared at the person eating breakfast in the living room with a slightly complicated expression.‘She didn’t take the pills because she’s sick. She’s taking them for contraceptive purposes.‘Even though I don’t plan to have any children just yet, it would not be unacceptable to me if an accident were to happen. However, is she so resistant to bearing a baby for me?’Freyja saw him standing in place, looking a little bothered, paused for
The program recording started, and Daisie sat on the stage, responding fluently to all kinds of questions the host asked her.Sure enough, her husband was something that would definitely be brought up.However, Daisie answered the question with a smile, “I’ve known him since I was a kid.”The host was surprised. “So, are you two childhood sweethearts?”Daisie responded calmly, “That’s right, but we were separated for a long time until we met again back then.”The host continued to ask, “Then did you get married because it’s a marriage arranged by both families, or is it because of your personal feelings for each other?”Daisie chuckled. “It’s not an arranged marriage. It’s just our personal feelings.”The host added, “Since you’re married officially and legally, why didn’t you choose to make it public? Are you worried that it’ll affect his personal life?”Daisie laughed and teased. “Because my husband is just way too brilliant to be real, I don’t want to get him exposed. Otherw
Leonardo was only telling the truth, but after saying so, he realized that Colton’s expression did not look too satisfied with his answer. He returned to his senses in an instant. “Mr. Goldmann, is the man that you’re referring to… yourself?”“I’m asking it on behalf of someone else.” He interrupted him impatiently.Leonardo responded, “Then I’ll take my leave first.”Colton did not say anything about Leonardo leaving the office, so he cautiously closed the door and left.Colton leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.‘Does Freyja think so too? Is she afraid that I won’t hold myself accountable if she gets pregnant? Is that why she’s taking those pills?‘After all, I can’t really blame her for taking those pills. It’s all my fault. I’ve never done anything to protect her and care about her feelings. She probably thinks of me as a scumbag now.’Leonardo returned to his office and realized that someone was waiting for him.He paused for a split second. “Ms. Peterson?”Giselle
Nollace returned to Taylorton. A pungent smell hit him once he entered the villa. He frowned and headed straight toward the kitchen after removing his shoes.The kitchen was filled with thick smoke, and the smell was pungent, but the kitchen hood wasn’t turned on. Daisie stood there and coughed while she was frantically walking around and trying to solve the problem.Nollace’s face dropped, and he immediately pulled her out of the kitchen. He then immediately switched on the hood and turned off the fire. Daisie stood there, stunned, her face covered in grease.He stood in the kitchen and cleared up the countertop. Daisie grew more anxious because he was quiet. She lowered her head and bit her lip. “I’m sorry, I was trying to make dinner.”Nollace took a deep breath, turned around, and calmly looked at her. “You don’t need to make dinner.”Daisie looked up but didn’t speak.He stopped in front of her, raised his hand, and wiped the grease off her face. “You won’t listen. You
Nollace sat in front of the computer, analyzing some data while knocking his knuckles on the desk. Edison sent him a text. [Sir, we have intel that Donald is still alive.]He picked up the phone, read the text, and frowned. Even though he expected Donald to be alive, when it was confirmed, it made things tense. Donald was the worst enemy he had ever dealt with. Ken Pruitt wasn’t half as vicious as he was. It had taken him so much effort to drag him down, but he managed to break out of prison after half a year of incarceration. The police had been hunting for him for a month with tracker dogs and finally found his prison clothes next to a cliff. They had blood on them and were badly frayed, but there was no body.Donald’s death wasn’t confirmed at that time, but if he was going to break out of prison, he wouldn’t die.Nollace replied: [Keep an eye on that.]He placed his phone down and rubbed his temples. The light shone on his face and cast a shadow, making him look tired.
Daisie looked disappointed, but when she remembered what Freyja said, she pressed her lips together and braced herself. “Nolly, can I ask you a question?”He nodded.He didn’t know how to face her under these circumstances.Daisie looked at him and sounded very serious as she asked, “Do you have a dysfunction?”The air suddenly froze, and the silence was nerve-wracking.Nollace turned to look at her. “What?”Daisie looked away while she blushed. “I’m testing you like this, yet you haven’t done anything, so do you have a dysfunct—”Before she could finish, Nollace had already climbed on top of her and pressed his finger on her lip. He pretended to be angry. “So, you think that I have a performance issue?”Daisie looked away.Nollace raised her chin. “Daisie, you shouldn’t question a man without proof when it comes to this. You might regret it.”“Why?”Her eyes were so clean they were spotless. Even though she tested him this way, she was still as clean as a sheet of paper.
