The ring fell to the floor, leaving a soft, crisp sound.Daisie squatted down to pick up the ring and found a small gap in the middle of the ring.She took the ring into her hand and wondered. “How could the ring...”Seeing something, she was stunned for a moment and took the ring apart, revealing a device that was smaller than an ant in front of her eyes.In the study, Nollace sat behind the desk. His fingers were interlocked, and his hands were propped against his chin as he was still thinking about the matter between Donald and Sandy.The screen of his cell phone lit up. He glanced at it and saw a notification informing him that the tracking device had gone offline. He could not help but be astounded.He subconsciously reacted to something in his mind, but Daisie had already pushed open the door.“Nollace Knowles!” She rushed over and slammed the ring he had given her three years ago in front of him. It was obvious that she had discovered the secret hidden in the ring. “You’d
‘I can no longer let her go.’A palm abruptly grasped his fist, and the warmth from the hand filled his silent heart. Nollace was slightly startled. He looked down at Daisie, who had approached him while he was in a daze, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.Daisie lowered her head. “Nollace, I don’t care if you’re perfect or not.”“Really?” Nollace wrapped his arms around her waist, took her into his arms, and lifted her chin. His lips seemed to be moving closer to her cheek, and the scorching breath brushed against her fair skin. “Do you really know me? I’m not as perfect as you think. I’m a very stingy person, I’ve always wished that you would only belong to me, and I always want to gouge out anybody’s eyes whenever they get to feast their eyes on you.”He brushed his five fingers through the ends of her half-dry hair, placed his hands on the back of her head, and rubbed the corners of her lips with his fingertips. “If you get bored of me and abandon me someday, then I really
Daisie shut her mouth, lay obediently on his chest, and tried to get some sleep.Nollace rolled over and hugged her. A thick layer of the quilt was clamped in between her waist and his lower abdomen to prevent them from rubbing against each other. He despised coaxing her with tricks to get her to go all the way with him. What he wanted was her complete willingness.At the same time, in the Comfort Inn…Because Colton had come to visit her earlier today, Sandy did not dare to let her guard down.Sandy packed her luggage and opened the cupboard because it was already midnight. Deedee had been locked in the cupboard for a whole day without getting any food or a drop of water. She was too feeble at the moment.The strong light forced her to open her eyes slightly, and her voice sounded very weak. “Grandma, I’m hungry...”“Hmph! You won’t die from a little hunger.”Sandy dragged her out of the cupboard.Deedee could barely stand still, and the arm that was being grasped by Sandy gra
“You don’t need to apologize.” Colton put his hand on her shoulder. “Spend some time with her. I’ll take care of the rest.”He turned to leave, but Freyja held onto him. Colton turned to look at her. “What’s wrong?”Freyja let go of him, looked away, and pressed her lips together. “Thank you.”Colton looked at her face and asked, “That’s all you want to say?”She nodded. Colton put his hand on the back of her head, pulled her closer, and whispered, “If you really want to thank me, do it with your actions.”Freyja was stunned, but Colton suddenly kissed her lips. He kissed her for a long time before he let her go and left the room. Freyja froze on the spot and could still feel that kiss on her lips. Meanwhile, after Sandy woke up, her neck hurt. She realized that she had been lying on the floor for the entire night, then something came to her mind, and she immediately opened the door. “Deedee!”Deedee wasn’t there anymore. Sandy gnashed her teeth. “Crap!”‘It must have
After ten minutes, the police officer who went to get the footage returned. “Sir, I’ve checked the footage and saw Mr. Goldmann came over with a group of people and left soon after that.”Sandy was overwhelmed. “What about what happened to the footage from yesterday? They attacked me and took my granddaughter!”The police officer looked at her and frowned. “There’s no footage of you getting attacked.”Sandy’s face dropped. “No… that’s impossible!”She yelled, “I was attacked yesterday! How could that not have been recorded!? You must be afraid of the Goldmanns and lied to me!”“Ma’am, you can take a look for yourself if you don’t believe me.”She immediately walked to the manager, who was holding a tablet. The footage had a timestamp on it, and it was showing what happened last night. There was nothing that showed her being attacked.Sandy’s face turned white because she couldn’t believe it. That wasn’t possible!She could not accept it. “No! This must have been tampered with!”
The lawyer said, “Don’t worry, I’m confident in winning this one.”Meanwhile, at the hospital…Deedee slowly started looking more cheerful with Freyja by her side. Freyja was afraid that her mother would have traumatized Deedee, so she took counseling very seriously. Daisie showed up at the door with a little cake, then knocked. Freyja turned around and smiled. “Deedee, this is Aunt Daisie. Say hello.”Deedee no longer remembered Daisie, but she wasn’t as shy as she was before. “Hello.”Daisie walked to the bed, placed the little cake down, smiled, and said, “I got you this little cake because Aunt Fey says you love them.”When she saw Daisie open up the box, Deedee stared at the six slices of chocolate cake and started to salivate. “Can I have some?” she cautiously asked. Freyja was stunned when she heard that. Maybe it was because of Sandy that Deedee had become afraid.Daisie smiled. “Of course you can. I got it for you. Here, have some.”Daisie handed a slice to her, a
For a woman, the family she married into wouldn’t be as close as her own family, but if Colton wanted his future wife to cut ties with her own family, how bad must that family be?Sandy was still trembling as her expression changed. “What did you say!?”Colton looked at her coldly. “You keep calling Freyja your daughter, but what have you ever done for her as a mother?“You neglected her just because she was a daughter instead of a son and did not carry out your duties as a mother. You would rather smear her reputation, so how dare you call yourself her mother?”Everyone started chattering. Freyja was just ‘exposed’ for ‘leaving her daughter’ so she could marry into the Goldmann family. That informant was her own mother!?Sandy lost her mind. “So what? She came from me, and I gave her life, so I get to decide if she lives or dies!”No one in court could stand that anymore. How could a mother think that just because she gave her child life, she would have the right to take it away
Also, even though Sandy was an illegitimate child, the king had never mistreated her. Still, she wasn’t happy about that and even taught her son to try to take the throne from the Knowles. Ken’s future and the king’s disgust were both caused by her ambition.Sandy covered her ears. “That’s b*llshit! I won’t admit to that! My son didn’t die because of me! No way…”Unfortunately, it didn’t matter if she admitted to it. It was the truth. The court sentenced her to 15 days in jail. After serving her time, she would be deported and never allowed to re-enter the country. #The girlfriend of Coleman Goldmann has a shocking past##The child’s identity has been confirmed. She’s her niece#The news outlets immediately announced the court’s verdict, and the rumors of Freyja ‘abandoning her daughter’ to marry into the Goldmann family were proven to be false. Even the people who had been cursing Freyja online started apologizing to her. Most people were shocked about who she really was.
“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
