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,
Freyja pressed her lips tightly and did not say anything.In fact, it had nothing to do with the things that transpired today.Colton squatted in front of her and pressed his cheek on her stomach. As he listened to the movement inside, he chuckled. “Can a one-month-old embryo move around?”Freyja was stunned. This was the first time she saw this side of Colton. He was very careful, and she lowered her head to look at him. Then, she said gently, “It’s only been a month or so. Our baby can’t move yet.”Colton raised his head to look at her. “Have you felt nauseous recently?”Freyja shook her head. “Not anymore after taking the medicine.”He caressed her stomach gently and said, “Let’s go get a marriage certificate too, Freyja.”Freyja was stunned. She thought her ears had failed her as she asked, “What did you say!?”He looked at her fixedly and said, emphasizing every word that spilled out of his lips, “I said, let’s go get a marriage certificate.”Freyja did not expect it to c
Colton put the document down and tapped on the desk. “How is she?”The therapist replied. “According to my observations and tests in the past few days, she is indeed very sensitive. Perhaps it's due to her upbringing that she's introverted and has low self-esteem. She always feels lonely, so she likes to stick to the people she wants to be close to.”Colton frowned and fell deep in thought. After a long while, he asked, “Can I ask you a question?”“Sure,” replied the therapist.“Would a 4-year-old kid harm the one who loves her? Like causing her to have a miscarriage?” Even if Deedee had misunderstood them after overhearing their conversation that night, even if she was upset with them, why would she push Freyja's stomach?He began to grow wary of Deedee after witnessing what she did that day.He did not show it out that time because he did not want to put Freyja in a difficult position. After all, Freyja was the one who raised Deedee since she was born, and that was also the r
If it were before, why would Colton have any concerns?Deep down, Freyja’s heart was filled with mixed feelings at this moment, and she could not tell them apart. On the one hand, it was Deedee who was very dependent and only wanted to stay with her. On the other hand, it was her child’s father and the man she loved.“Why are you standing at the door?” A voice pulled her back to reality.She exchanged gazes with Colton, hesitated for a bit, and then walked into the study. “What did the therapist tell you?”“He didn’t say much.” Colton put the documents away. Upon recalling something, he added, “I’ll find some kids to come over to accompany her tomorrow. Although they’re slightly older than she is, they should be able to mix well.”Freyja was astounded and seemed to have realized something.While she was in Yaramoor, apart from Freyja, Deedee would only stay with the nanny. When it came to friends, she had only played with the nanny’s granddaughter, but they did not keep in touch
