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
Waylon grabbed his bathrobe off the shelf, put it on slowly, and smiled. “Mr. Southern, this is the second time that you’ve broken into my room.”Cameron lied with an earnest expression, “I knocked on the door, but you didn’t respond.”He fastened his belt. “I might not have responded, but you just broke in?”Cameron thought of something, lifted her head, and met his gaze. “This seems to be my home. Even if I’ve broken into your room, you don’t have the right to say anything about it. Besides, even if I were to see you b*tt naked, you wouldn’t even suffer any losses.“Waylon froze in place for a short moment, lifted his gaze, and chuckled abruptly. “You actually wish to see me b*tt naked?”“No, I don’t.”“You touched me all over earlier this morning, and you now wish to see me b*tt naked. No matter how I look at it, it seems that I’ve suffered a huge deal of losses.”“Stop the nonsense—”“Willy.” Sunny’s voice came from outside the door, and Cameron was so frightened that she f
Cameron was rather smart but could also sometimes be very confused. However, when faced with life-and-death situations, she was always a calm and rational person, but she seemed to lose her cool very easily and often when she was in front of him.Waylon stretched out his hand, tucked the locks and strands of hair that were covering her face behind her auricle with his fingertips, and squinted slightly. “Good for you, getting to sleep so soundly.”…A ray of sunlight beamed into the room through the window, penetrated through the gap in the curtains, and reflected onto the couch. Cameron slowly opened her eyes, recalled something, and sat up abruptly.She removed the blanket covering her, looked around, and suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit to Waylon’s room last night. It was obvious that she had not only fallen asleep in his room but also forgotten what she wanted to talk to him about.Cameron walked up to the door and opened it, and that was when two maids who passed b
The two of them stayed in the private room until noon before leaving. Waylon then sent Quincy back to the hotel.In the hotel lobby, when they ran into Saydie, Quincy’s eyes lit up, and he rushed up to her with a wide grin, intending to hug her. “Baby!”Saydie stretched out her hand to stop him from approaching, “Who gave you the permission to call me by my name out here?”His expression looked extremely aggrieved. “I haven’t seen you for so long, so why can’t you let me hug you for a bit?”Saydie grabbed him by the collar. “Why didn’t you notify me before you came to the East Islands?”‘Nobody told me that he’s also included in the team that the Goldmanns sent here.’Quincy forced out a smile. “I’m worried about you.”“Worry about yourself first, you rookie. I don’t have the time to protect you here.”Quincy gave off a profound smile and held her hand. “Don’t worry. I may be a rookie when it comes to combat, but I always do well with this great brain of mine.”Waylon smiled h
Cameron picked up her silverware and started eating while Sunny put his down. “Willy is about to leave. What are your thoughts on that?”Cameron froze for a moment, lowered her head, and continued eating. “What idea do you expect me to have? Will he stay here just because I want him to stay?”His eyes lit up. “How are you so sure he won’t? Perhaps he’ll stay behind if you make your wish known?”Cameron was astonished for a split second. She then raised her head and looked at Sunny after a moment. “Dad, I don’t really get what you just said. Why don’t you give it to me straight? I intended to ask you about this too. Do you want to take him in as your son?”Sunny was at a loss for words.His fists got so hard as he was on the brink of cracking her head open to see what was wrong with her brain.He calmed himself down and said earnestly, “You’re right. I indeed want to do so. But he already has a biological father, so how can I make him my son? So use that brain of yours and give it
“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
