James went to the RV with Daisie and asked when he only saw Daisie alone. “Why isn’t Freyja around?”He hadn’t seen Freyja in a long time since Colton made their relationship public. But if she was in a relationship with Colton, she wouldn’t need her job as an assistant anymore.Daisie took the script out of her bag, paused, and raised her brows. “Freyja is pregnant, so I can’t ask her to help with everything.”James was shocked. “What?”‘She’s pregnant?’Daisie saw the sadness in his eyes and felt sorry for him. Had he not given up yet after so long?She took a deep breath and changed the subject. “You know about Director Fallon’s new movie? I’ve got you a role in it.”James was surprised. “Huh?”“Now that your dad canceled your cards, you probably need to make some money.” After saying that, Daisie continued. “I can promise that this character will be the one that can help you break out of your typecast.”He smiled and put his hand to his forehead. “Daisie, you overestimat
James just wanted to take things one step at a time and get through life that way. He was the only son of the Tell family, so who else would his father give the inheritance to if not him?But what Daisie said was a stab in his heart. She was right because his father had always forced him to do what he didn’t want to. His acting career was also part of his father’s plan. His father had never agreed to what he wanted to do. He never had a choice because all his spending, food, and clothes were all paid for by his father.Daisie saw that he was hesitating and knew that advising him wouldn’t work, so she took matters into her own hands.She leaned forward and asked, “Don’t you want to act as a character written by Freyja?”His face turned red, and he took a few steps back. “What are you talking about?”Daisie didn’t realize that James was so innocent and would blush, so she chuckled. “I know that you have a thing for Freyja, and even though she’s now my sister-in-law, this scrip
Daisie heaved a sigh of relief because she was glad he didn’t believe it.Nollace suddenly pulled her into his arms and pressed his slightly cold hand on her cheek. “But, are you not going to explain yourself?”She started sweating. He said he didn’t believe it, but he was angry!“I’m just friends with Zephy.”“Zephy…” Nollace’s expression changed ever so slightly, then raised her chin. “I thought you’d only call me in such a way.”He didn’t look angry, but Daisie could feel that it was getting tricky, so she grabbed his hand and was anxious. “That was different. I really see him as a friend.”Nollace leaned in closer to her. “When did you meet?”Daisie looked away. “You went back to Yaramoor, so I have the right to meet people.” She started feeling annoyed as she said that.Nollace pressed his lips together because she was still angry about what he had said all those years ago.He hadn’t wanted to involve her in his problems, which was why he had said that when they were at
Daisie had a great meal and finally laid down her cutlery. “Nolly, do you care what people online are saying?”He looked up and touched her face after a long pause. “I don’t because I’m the one who’s by your side.”Those speculations were all made up.Daisie looked a little disappointed.She was hoping to make things public, even if Donald found out. At least she could work things out with Nollace instead of hiding behind him whenever trouble arose.Nollace leaned in closer to her because he seemed to have noticed her emotions and placed his hand on the top of her head. “We’ll get a chance to go public. When that happens, I’ll let the whole world know that I’m the man behind Ms. Best Actress.”Daisie looked into his light eyes and only saw herself in there. “Are you going to face Donald?”He didn’t speak. Daisie turned away. “I knew it. There must be a reason behind this candlelight dinner.”Nollace smiled. “How would you know?”She said with full conviction, “A woman’s inst
After Nollace left Bassburgh, Daisie returned to the Goldmann mansion. Taylorton was empty without him there. She was lonely there by herself, but more importantly, she was very worried about him.Freyja could tell that she had a lot on her mind, so she sat next to her. “Nollace wouldn’t let anything happen to him. He’s such a smart man, so he must be very confident.”Daisie picked up the coffee and took a sip before mumbling. “Does he really think that he can do everything?”Freyja smirked. “He never failed to do anything that he wanted. You know that.”Daisie pressed her lips together and didn’t answer. At that moment, Freyja received a call. The caller said something which made her expression change and stand up. “What? Deedee is missing!?”Daisie and Freyja went to the Seaview Villa together. The nanny had looked in every corner of the house but couldn’t find her.Freyja ran out of the car and grabbed the nanny’s shoulders. “When did she go missing?”The nanny said apolo
Colton hurriedly went forward to catch Freyja to prevent her from falling down.He frowned tightly. “Deedee, how can you push your aunt?”Deedee was scared by his furious gaze. She shrunk back a little and bit her lips to stop herself from crying.Freyja took a deep breath and approached Deedee again. She lowered her voice and said, “Deedee, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have raised my voice just now. I was just too worried about you…”Deedee pushed her hand away and cried, “My parents didn’t want me, and now you don’t want me either.”Freyja was stunned. “Deedee, I didn’t say I don’t want you—”“Liar! I heard everything you said that night! You’re going to send me away!” Deedee sat on the floor and bawled her eyes out, venting her spleen.Freyja’s heart skipped a bit, and her chest tightened.She did not expect Deedee to have heard everything she had said that night. That was why she thought she did not want her and was going to abandon her. But Freyja had never wanted to abandon her
Freyja forced a smile onto her face and said, “She’s sleeping now.”“What’s wrong with Colton? Why did he suddenly leave? Were you guys fighting?” asked Daisie.Freyja pressed her lips thin. She did not know how to answer Daisie’s question at all.It was true that they were fighting, but the question was, why would she be so concerned about Colton’s changes?Daisie asked carefully, “By the way, why did Deedee say you don’t want her anymore? What actually happened?”Freyja told Daisie that she wanted to send her back to the Pruitts, but Deedee thought she did not want her anymore. Perhaps, Deedee just wanted to stay with Freyja, but the latter selfishly thought that sending Deedee home was for her own good. Maybe she should consider Deedee’s feelings too? She did not know about that.“Am I selfish?” asked Freyja.Daisie fell silent for a moment before replying, “No, of course, you’re not. You’ve done your best taking care of her.” Freyja did not reply.When Daisie was leaving
Daisie was stunned.Zephir was so close to her that she could count his eyelashes. His finger felt cold on her skin, and even though he was just wiping the soup off the corner of her lips, she had a feeling that he was caressing his girlfriend.If it were in the past, she would have thought that he did this out of goodwill or he was just taking care of her like his sister. However, she felt it was strange right now.Perhaps it was because his breathing felt scalding on her skin. Daisie took the tissue paper away from his hand and put some distance between them. “It’s okay, Zephir. I can do it myself.”Zephir did not say anything. He just smiled.After they had finished their meal, they left the restaurant.Zephir stopped his car in front of her. However, he did not drive away even after she got into his car. While she was wondering what Zephir was doing, he suddenly leaned toward her, and she was stunned.She subconsciously put her hand on his shoulder to push him away and said,
