Even if Nollace did not care about it, he was the only son in the Knowles. What if his parents wanted a boy?Daisie started to make up those dramatic scenes where a rich family only wanted a boy inside of her head.Nollace caressed her cheek with his hand and chuckled. “Don’t worry. My parents like girls very much. Just look at my mother. She likes you more than she likes me.”Daisie lowered her head and looked at the knife wound on his body. She ran her finger over that bumpy scar, and she figured that he must have gotten it when he went missing. "It hurts, doesn't it?"Nollace grabbed her hand and kissed her forehead. “This is nothing compared to giving birth.”She was stunned for a moment. Then, she leaned on his chest and said, “If you're not afraid of pain, I won't be either.”He chuckled. “I’m just worried that you might cry.”Daisie was rendered speechless. Meanwhile, Cameron stayed in her cabin until the evening. She was starving, so she came out of her cabin.She fol
Cameron turned her head sideways and replied, “I’m not.” Waylon chuckled. “This is new, Cameron. I thought you were used to seeing men's bodies since you have been staying under the same roof with other men the whole time?”Cameron turned her head around to meet his gaze. “Are you serious? I’m not embarrassed at all. I dare you to strip yourself naked.”Waylon looked at her silently. With a triumphant grin on her face, Cameron went closer to him and said, “I thought you wouldn't feel embarrassed at all, Wayne. But it seems like I was wrong. It's okay. I don't mind seeing it again.”She was going to win against Waylon once, even if it meant throwing away her own dignity.Cameron coiled her finger around the button on his shirt. However, before she could do anything, he stopped her and narrowed his eyes. “Are you serious about this?”It went without saying that Cameron was just joking with him. After all, what if he was even more shameless than she was? She just wanted to put hi
Waylon opened his eyes slowly and turned his head around to look at her. Cameron forced a smile on her face and said, “Can I discuss something with you?”As if he could read her mind, he said, “Let me guess. You’re going to ask me for money so that you can book a hotel?”Her smile disappeared as she replied, “Forget about it. I still owe you a lot of money, so I shouldn’t borrow money from you anymore.”Waylon handed an access card to Cameron.She was stunned and looked at him in confusion. “You can stay wherever you want in Bassburgh.” Waylon took in her surprised gaze and chuckled. “We won’t let you stay on the street.”When she did not accept the access card, Waylon continued. “If you don’t want it, then I’m taking it back.”“Wait!” Cameron hastily took over the card and said, “I didn’t say I don’t want it.” She needed to spend money to live in a hotel, so of course, she would settle down for anything. Besides, she didn't want to stay in someone else's home either. After
Cameron took a sip from the tea and nodded. “I will.”Maisie sent the maid to prepare a guest room for Cameron. Just when Cameron was about to say something, Waylon chimed in. “Mom, she’s not staying here.”“Why?” asked Maisie.Daisie looked at Waylon and asked, “Are you going to let Cameron stay in a hotel?”“Nope.” Waylon replied calmly, “She’s going to stay in Emperon.”Maisie seemed to have realized something and smiled, “Alright then. Emperon is pretty near Taylorton. Daisie and Nollace are staying in Taylorton, so they can also take care of Cameron if she stays in Emperon.”After they finished their lunch, Nollace and Waylon followed Nolan to his study room.Daisie brought Cameron to the garden. As if she remembered something, she asked meaningfully, “Cameron, are you really not going to stay here?”“Yeah. I just don’t feel comfortable staying here…”“You’re not avoiding my eldest brother, are you?” Ever since they came down from the ship, she could sense something had h
Upon catching this scene, Cameron’s cheeks flushed instantly. She pulled her hair out of his hands immediately and combed it. “You actually kissed my hair? What the hell is wrong with you? I’ll kick your *ss if you continue to give me such crap!”Waylon sneered and stared at her.Her face obviously looked like a tomato at the moment, and it seemed that she was trying to act all tough and wanted to threaten him. She was so innocent that he could not help but want to tease and bully her.His gaze landed on her lips, and he rubbed his finger across her lips. “How do you plan to beat me up, Cameron?”She grabbed the hem of his collar with a fierce expression. “If you dare to lay a hand or a leg on me again, I’ll skin you alive.”He gave off a faint smirk. “Okay, then I won’t move my hands or legs from now on.”A warm sensation spread over her lips just as Cameron was in a daze.Her pupils constricted, and it felt like there was a torrent flowing through her entire body, which made h
After the pastries were baked, Daisie packed some for Freyja. And since Nollace was about to head out, he drove her to the hospital.Before she got out of the car, she turned around and kissed him on the cheek. “I’ll go up first.”Nollace let off a faint chuckle and stroked her on the cheek. “Okay.”Daisie got out of the car, put on a mask and cap, and walked straight toward the hospital’s entrance.Nollace watched as she walked away from the car, picked up the phone, and contacted Edison.Daisie lowered her head and avoided the crowd while finding her way to the gynecology department. She then walked toward Freyja’s ward, and just as she was about to push the door of the ward open, Colton came out of the ward.The two collided at the entryway.Colton frowned and was about to say something, only to realize that it was his sister. “Daisie?”Daisie pulled down her mask. “Colton, you’re here?”Colton also knew that they had come back from the East Islands, so he was not surprised
Daisie continued. “But if the Goldmanns can accept Deedee—”“Daisie,” Freyja interrupted her calmly. “Even if the Goldmanns can accept Deedee, what will the public think of the Goldmanns? What will the public say when they know that the future daughter-in-law of the Goldmanns brought her niece along when she moved in with the family?“Or, on the other hand, I, as Deedee’s guardian, actually abandoned her in order to get married to Colton? No matter which I choose, Colton will be the one who’ll have to juggle with all the pressure in the end.”“I don’t want to implicate Colton, and I don’t want to drag the Goldmanns into this mess. I’m even more afraid that the public’s opinion will only make me feel that I’m not worthy of him.”Freyja lowered her head, and a warm teardrop fell on the back of her hand.‘No matter what I do, having the best of both worlds is just not an option. It’s just like what my mother said back then, as it resounds in my ears all day long like it’s a nightmare
“Do you think it’s because of those words that I...” Freyja did not continue, and she looked extremely depressed and sad.“Otherwise, what would it be?” Colton held the back of her hand. “Freyja, you’re willing to speak your heart out when talking to Daisie. Don’t you have anything to say when I’m literally here?”Freyja’s eyes moved, and she gave off a faint smile. “I have nothing else to say.”Colton looked at her. There was no fluctuation of emotions in her eyes as if she was as still as a millpond. After a long time, he got up slowly. “You should grab some rest.”As soon as Colton left the ward, Freyja clenched her fist, fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist, and pursed her lips tightly.‘Ever since half a year ago, an invisible barrier seems to have risen between the both of us. He thinks that I only cared about Deedee and left wrathfully, and we’ve not seen each other for half a month since then.‘The decision that I made at the time was indeed an anxious one. Deedee’s per
