Cameron did not say anything and kept lowering her head.Waylon let out a meaningful smile and said, “Your inheritance isn’t enough for me to buy diners. I don’t have any intention of taking over your house or land. As for the pigs… Hmm, I can think about that.”Cameron squinted and asked, “You’re interested in pigs?”He fixed his gaze on her and replied, “Kind of.”Cameron felt something was not right, but she couldn’t explain that feeling as she focused on Waylon’s gaze. She kept staring at him until a cough rang out in the air. She hastily withdrew her gaze and turned around to look at Sunny, who was walking toward them.Sunny let out a sigh and shook his head. “I don’t know about you people, but I’ve come across this kind of person where they’re very smart at something, but when it comes to another thing, they’re as dumb as a pig.”Cameron stared at Sunny and said, “Why do I have a feeling that you’re talking about me?”Waylon placed his finger in front of his lips. God knew
However, he was hit at the back of his head before he could make the call and fell unconscious. Standing behind him, Saydie picked up the phone from the floor, and it was only then she realized he wanted to call Donald.…The sky was getting darker, but the East Islands were brightly lit like an illuminating pearl. Several cruises were moving slowly on the sea. They would arrive at the East Islands’ Southern Port in another two days.It was bright in the cabin, and Quincy lowered the curtain. He turned around to look at the people behind him. “Make sure you stay low profile when you arrive at the island later. Don’t get yourself exposed.”The group of people said, “Don’t worry, we will. We’ll tell the people we meet that we’re here to do business. Besides, we’ll leave some of our guys on the ship as backup. This way, people won’t be suspicious of us.”Quincy nodded. “Get some rest early.”Meanwhile, at the Southern residence…Sleep wouldn’t come to Cameron. She sat up frustrat
Cameron took her phone back and looked at the screen. “You can just say it if you want my number. There’s no need to be so secretive.” “What if you rejected me? Wouldn’t it make me look bad?” Waylon replied nonchalantly.Cameron looked at him and replied, “Why should I reject you? It’s just a phone number…”Suddenly, something crossed her head before she could finish her sentence. She raised her eyebrows and chuckled. “Are you not worried that I’ll delete your number?” “There’s nothing I can do if you want to delete my number,” replied Waylon. “But about the cheque…” Cameron’s expression changed, and she turned off her phone as if she was worried that she might accidentally delete his number.“Don’t worry. I won’t delete it.” He narrowed his eyes. “It seems to me that I’m the one getting the short end of the stick in this deal.” Cameron put her phone back into her pocket and replied matter-of-factly, “We’re all in the same boat. There’s no need to make such a clear differe
Cameron crossed her arms in front of her chest and turned her face sideways. “I’ll buy you another shirt.”Waylon squinted and replied, “I’m sure you know that all of my clothes are bespoke suits, right, Ms. Southern?”Cameron was stunned and looked at him in shock. “Are you saying that I need to go to Stoslo to look for the shop?”“Didn’t you say you wanted to buy me a new one?” Waylon lifted his eyebrows. “Since you’re going to buy me new clothes, you have to show some sincerity, don’t you think so?”She took a deep breath, gnashed her teeth, and replied, “Fine! I shouldn’t have promised you anything!”Cameron turned around and stormed back to her room. Waylon looked at her and asked, “Are you not going to buy me a new shirt anymore?”“I don’t have money!” she replied without turning her head back.Even though Cameron acted shamelessly, Waylon did not get angry at her. After all, it was just a shirt, and he did not feel the need to make a big scene out of it. The next day...
Waylon did not defy her claim. “I've been awake from the moment you came in.”Cameron was stumped. “So, you’ve been pretending to be asleep the whole time?”He chuckled. “If I didn’t pretend to be asleep, how would I know what you were trying to do?” Cameron was so angry that the veins on the corner of her forehead bulged. She felt as if she had been toyed with by him. She took a deep breath, placed her hands on her waist, and said, “Initially, I wanted to buy you a new shirt, but since you toyed with me like that, I think I don’t want to buy you any clothes anymore.”He raised his eyebrows. “I didn’t want you to buy me new clothes either. But since you want to…” He got down from the bed and stood in front of her with his arms spread. “Take all the measurements you want.”Cameron was stunned. She turned her head sideways and said, “I don’t want to.”Waylon pulled her hand, and before she could come around to her senses, he had already placed her arms around his waist. She was
Donald turned to look at him. “Isn’t there someone shadowing Fabio?”Chunky lowered his head. “I don’t know if Fabio has found out about our plan. All the people that we’ve sent to keep an eye on him have all gone off the radar.”Donald closed his eyes, and his facial expression stiffened. “He’s fallen so far and gotten so dumb that he plans to work with the Southern Clan.”He then opened his eyes and looked at Chunky. “Since Fabio has chosen not to comply, then there’s no need for us to keep him alive. Getting rid of him is the only way for me to completely take over his faction.”Chunky responded, “Then I’ll get someone to make it happen now.”…Cameron came to The Commune at noon, and the people in The Commune were stunned when they saw her in women’s clothes. After all, it was their first time seeing Cameron in women’s clothes.“Mr— Ms. Southern.”Everyone still had not gotten accustomed to this sudden change in her appellation.Cameron cleared her throat. “You can call me
Fabio grunted. “F*ck!”The men in black surrounded the car with guns. “Fabio Puzo, your time is up.”Seeing that Fabio did not respond, one of them carefully went around the car and came to the rear of the car, where Fabio rushed out from behind abruptly. The man was caught off guard, reacted almost instantly, and a thunderous gunshot pierced through the sky, but the bullet missed.The man in black had his gun snatched, lost his balance as Fabio kicked him violently, and fell to the ground.When the other men saw this, they immediately fired at Fabio.Fabio retreated to the rear of the car to avoid the bullets. The shattered glass cut his arm, and blood spurted through torn flesh. And that was when a man in black suddenly rolled over the car's roof and knocked Fabio down.Just as he was about to shoot Fabio, someone shouted, “Sh*t! Someone’s here!”The man lost focus for a split second and was kicked over by Fabio. The latter picked up the gun and shot him in the head, and blood
Fabio fell into a trance and did not utter a single word for a long time.…At 7:00 p.m., Cameron came back from outside.Sunny sat in the living room drinking tea, raised his gaze, and looked at the person who stepped into the house. “Where did you go all day long?”She stopped in front of the stairs and replied, “I went to The Commune.”Sunny squinted and glanced at her. “Then why did you go into Willy’s room this morning?”“How do you know that?”‘Wayne doesn’t seem to be a loquacious person. One of the servants has most probably seen me.’Sunny chuckled. “You, a full-grown lady, actually went into a man’s room. Tell me the truth, are you plotting against him?”“Don’t you slander me, I didn’t do so.”“Then what did you do in the room?”“I was measuring his size.”Sunny lost his firm grip on the teacup for a split second, and the lid fell onto the table.After a while, he asked in astonishment. “What... exactly what did you measure in there?”Cameron knew her father had
“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
