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.
After Colton left the other morning angrily, he never showed up. She didn’t know why he came to see her.They walked to the corridor, and Freyja stopped. “Can I help you?”Colton took a deep breath, turned to look at her, and finally spoke after a long pause. “Stop taking birth control after this.”Freyja was surprised. ‘Did he find out?’What did he mean by that? Was he trying to get her pregnant?Colton was silent for a while, then added, “I’ll take precautions.”Freyja froze and looked around nervously. “Colton, are you alright? You came all the way here to talk about this?”He wasn’t shy about it. “Are you afraid that someone will hear us?”She smirked. “Do you think I’m as shameless as you are?”Colton suddenly walked closer to her and pressed his palms on the wall behind her. “Freyja, I’m asking you a very serious question.”Freyja looked at him and was curious. He slowly parted his lips. “Do you not want children because we’re not officially together?”He could unde
“Hah, you came to me before I even went to see you.” Colton looked around and crossed his legs. “Yanis was a tech company that you used Donald’s share to set up, right? You hid it very well.”Nollace ran his fingers over the rim of the cup. “It’s just a small company, so there is nothing to shout about.”Colton crossed his arms. “Would it still be considered small if it had a shareholder from such a big group?”He then stared at Nollace. “What’s your intention behind using someone else’s name to partner up with Blackgold?”“I have no special intentions.” Nollace raised his brows and chuckled. “People say that you need to be very careful when working with the Goldmanns. I’m just doing my due diligence.”Colton squinted, trying to guess if he was telling the truth. Nollace placed the cup down. “I didn’t come here about that today.”Colton looked at him. “Get to the point.”“Donald is still alive and is very possibly trying to find out where I am. I can’t expose myself in Bassbur
