Cameron did not utter a single word.Waylon curled her hair with his finger, fiddled with them, and said casually, “After all, maybe we won’t see each other ever again in the future.”“All things come to an end.” Cameron turned to look at him. “That’s life.”He lifted his gaze and stared at her.His gaze seemed to be fixed on her, and it felt aggressive. Her cheeks warmed up just by being stared at, and she looked away. “It’s useless for you to look at me with those eyes...”She immediately added, “I won’t pay you back for this meal.”A hint of hilarity flashed across his eyes. “I don’t need you to pay me back.”She grabbed the water glass on the table. “I didn’t plan to pay for it either.”Waylon smiled and said nothing.After eating, Waylon took her back to the hospital and parked the car near a convenience store. After a few minutes, he returned to the car and handed her a can of Coke.Cameron wanted to grab it from him, but he retracted his hand abruptly.Cameron missed
Cameron’s expression froze. She felt extremely embarrassed as she stared at the cup of tea in her hand.‘Did I just use someone else’s cups and drink someone else’s tea?’Fortunately, no one was looking at her, so she restrained her expression, placed the teacup back on the table, pushed it back to Waylon, and said in a low voice, “Anyway, I’m not the one who’s suffered a loss from this.”He rubbed the mouth of the teacup, lowered his gaze, and smirked. “People who’ve taken advantage of somebody else always love to say that.”She replied casually, “Yes, you’re right about that.”Waylon then slowly poured some tea into the cup, picked it up, and placed the cup against his lips. Cameron was stunned for a split second and could not stay calm while that was happening.He drank the tea slowly, and his lips now covered the rim of the cup that still had her lipstick mark. The way he swallowed the tea and wiped the corners of his lips with his thumb was somehow very seductive to her at t
Maisie picked up the fruits and walked over. “What are you looking at?”Nolan looked up and put down his phone. “What happened at the East Islands has finally come to an end.”Maisie placed the plate down on the desk and smiled. “I guess the children are all safe now.” She picked up a slice of orange and handed it to him.Nolan closed his magazine, ate the orange slice, and then pulled her into his arms. “The orange is sweeter when you give it to me.”Maisie picked up a cherry. “If our sons were as good at sweet talking as you, I’d be a lot less worried.”Nolan smiled. “They’re going through a phase, and that’s normal. Colton and Daisie grew up around us and weren’t alone outside like Waylon, who’s more mature. Colton isn’t very good at expressing himself and is too straightforward. You know that.”Maisie rubbed her temples. “That’s why I’m worried.”She shouldn’t get too involved in her children’s relationships because they should be able to decide for themselves without too mu
Unexpectedly, there wasn't any pain. Cameron opened her eyes and realized that she was lying on top of Waylon. A sponge mat was under them, seemingly placed there in case things went wrong.Cameron slowly snapped back. “You…”Waylon suddenly flipped over, held her under him, and then looked down at her. “Fell off the ring. You lost.”She paused for a long moment. “You did that intentionally?”He smiled and didn’t speak. Cameron pushed him away and sat up. “You didn’t win either.”Waylon chuckled. “I didn’t say I had to win. I just bet that you would lose.”Cameron was rendered speechless because she felt like she had been tricked. She punched Waylon on the shoulder, which made him fall back onto the mat as if he was really hurt.Cameron realized she had used too much force, so she quickly checked on him. “Hey, are you alright?”He didn't speak.Cameron was worried, so she put out her hand to check his shoulder. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, which made
Sunny calmly said, “Now that everything has ended, I’ll be safe. You don’t need to worry. Mahina, the butler, and Damian will be here. I’ll be more carefree when you’re not around.”Daisie placed down her cutlery and got up. “Sir, Cameron, I’m done. I’m going to check on them.”She left the space for the father and daughter. After Daisie left, Sunny asked Cameron somberly. “What do you think about Willie?”She looked around. “What do you mean?”“Do you think I can’t tell? Something is going on between you two, and he has feelings for you.” He was very serious.Cameron was shocked. “That’s nonsense.”‘Wayne has feelings for me?’“Only you know whether that’s nonsense or not.” Sunny picked up the napkin and dabbed the corner of his lips. “Think about how you feel when you’re around him, then about how you feel when you hang out with the other members.”After that, Sunny picked up his cane and went upstairs. Cameron froze on the spot, her mind in a mess. Did Waylon really ha
Sunny, who captured the moment, ducked behind a wall. Cameron’s face turned red. She felt extremely awkward and ran back into the house. Waylon held his palm to his cheeks because he had lost his cool…Cameron ran into the study and opened the door. Sunny was sitting behind the desk and reading his newspaper, pretending nothing had happened. She walked over and held out her hand. “Give me your phone.”He looked up and smirked. “Why? Is that how you speak to your father? You’re going to check my phone? No way.”Cameron crossed her arms. “You’re not going to delete it?”Sunny turned away and mumbled, “No, I finally got a picture of my son-in-law. I would have no dignity if I just deleted it just because you said so.”She choked. “Son-in-law…”Sunny smirked and folded the newspaper. “I’ve accepted him, so you’re not going to reject him.”After that, he continued. “He’s such a great guy. Even Minzy could see that, but you’re still oblivious. If I didn’t insist, he would have l
That was unbelievable. Daisie scratched her cheek. “What are your terms?’Sunny said, “Nothing much. All I want is for Cam to find a man who matches her. I think your brother is a good man, and I hope that I’m not wrong about it.”Daisie suddenly felt guilty. “But it doesn’t look like Cameron wants to go to Bassburgh. I don’t know if it’s a good idea to insist that she goes.”Even though Sunny did this for her happiness, it felt as though forcing her to go to Bassburgh for her brother wasn’t the right way to do it.Sunny smiled. “No one can make her do something if she doesn’t want to. I have no idea how, but what if she wants to go?”At least she wasn’t forced to go.Even if they tricked her, there was no point if she wasn’t willing. He knew his daughter well enough.She just didn’t want to admit her feelings to anyone.The next day, after breakfast, the party went to the pier. The ship that was docked there would leave at 10:15 a.m.Sunny, Mahina, and the butler sent them
Daisie walked up to Cameron and sat beside her. “You’re right.”Cameron lowered her head as she sank deep in thought. “But your eldest brother didn’t go with you, while your second brother accompanied you when you went to study in Yaramoor?” She chuckled and replied, “Yeah, my eldest brother didn’t go with us. He has been living in Stoslo and only went to Yaramoor to keep us company for a while after graduating.”“I see…” Daisie went closer to her and asked, “Why does it seem to me that you’re interested in my brother?”Cameron was stumped and turned her head sideways. “That is impossible. I’ll never be interested in your brother.” Daisie decided not to expose her. She thought of something and pulled her phone out. “Let me show you some pictures.”“What pictures?” asked Cameron.Daisie flipped through her albums and handed her phone to Cameron.Cameron took it, and she was shocked when she flipped through them. “This is…”“These are the pictures from when my eldest broth
“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
