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
“Leave it to me.”The boy was doubtful. “Can you do it?”Cameron picked up the dart and aimed at the balloons. “This is as simple as ABC. Just watch.”After a few seconds, she threw the dart with precision.One of the balloons popped.The boy was stunned. Even the owner was dumbfounded.‘Is this beginner’s luck or what?’The boy then pointed at a teddy bear. “I want that.”Cameron continued with the game and threw it diagonally this time around.The dart punctured three balloons in a row.The boy leaped into the air happily. “Wow, you’re amazing!”Even the few children who were watching from the side could not hold themselves back now and started surrounding her. “We want toys too!”“Okay, one by one!”The owner could no longer sit still and hurried over. “Miss, if you play like this, I’ll go bankrupt really soon.”Cameron sneered. “It’s not that I’m not paying you. Besides, you hung them up, which means they’re up for grabs, aren’t they?”It was well said and extremely
If there were generous patrons like him daily, he would be able to get three houses in an upscale place. Cameron felt more relaxed after moving around. She suddenly heard a scream from up top and a roller-coaster passing over their heads. Her eyes shone as she tugged Waylon’s hand. “That one?”Waylon raised his brows. “Are you sure?’She smiled. “Are you scared?”He squinted. “As long as you’re not.”Cameron ran toward the roller-coaster, and Waylon followed after. They got into a car, and Cameron could see the surrounding areas and the people getting smaller and smaller as it slowly started moving and climbing upward. Since it wasn’t too quick, she was suspicious. “Why is this going so slow? Isn’t it supposed to be fast?”The other guest turned back to look at her as if they were looking at a retard. Waylon laughed. “Can’t you just wait for a little while?”The roller-coaster suddenly stopped, then Cameron frowned. “Is there a problem with the electricity?”The next mom
“Sh*t!” Cameron kicked her a few times. Waylon immediately hugged her. “Stop kicking!”The actor removed the wig and immediately stood up, showing that he was a man. He touched his swollen face while he complained. “What are you doing? I’m just an actor. That’s too harsh!”Cameron was insistent. “It’s your fault for scaring me.”Waylon stood in front of her and said to the man, “I’m so sorry, my girlfriend…”He pointed at his head. The man grumbled and walked away. Cameron stomped on his foot and angrily said, “I’m not your girlfriend. And why did you point at your head? Did you mean that I’m crazy?”Waylon pulled her into his arms and kissed her. Surprised, she pressed her hands onto his chest but couldn’t push him away. Waylon finally let her go when she stopped struggling and put a finger to her lips. “Does it still not count now?”She turned her face away as her heart skipped a beat. “I… I never agreed. Don’t assume things.”She pushed him away and left angrily. Wa
Waylon laughed. “To see my brother.”Cameron paused and was curious. “Coleman? Why do I need to see him?’Waylon held onto the steering wheel and started the engine. “As his sister-in-law, you should meet him.”‘S-Sister-in-law?’Cameron’s face was even hotter, and she started stuttering. “I’m not married to you yet and have not agreed to do so. No, I won’t ever marry you!”Waylon smiled and didn’t speak. At Blackgold…Cameron walked into the lobby with Waylon. She looked around at the decor. It was indeed what the biggest group in Bassburgh would look like—elegant and classy. Everything ran with the help of AI, holograms, and even the concierge had been replaced by AI. The employees were not required to punch in, and instead, they used facial recognition to confirm their attendance.Waylon and Cameron took the elevator to the administration office. When the employees saw him, they were all shocked because their president was supposed to be in his office. Leonard walked ou
“Yes, Ms. Peterson was great, and that psychologist, Ms. Blueman too. I heard Mr. Goldmann say that she was from his school and went overseas to study and went into psychology. She was beautiful and kind, much better than Ms. Pruitt.”Cameron watched while they disappeared around the corner, then squinted. ‘The Mr. Goldmann whom they were talking about is probably Wayne’s brother.’Cameron touched her chin. ‘The two women were having discussions about the boss’ girlfriend behind his back. Interesting.’In the office…Waylon ran his fingers over his watch and looked up. “Jessie Blueman?” Colton looked at his tea. “We were in the same school, but I don’t remember her. I was trying to get a psychologist for Deedee, and she’s in the field, so I appointed her.”“Cole, what do you think about Deedee?” Waylon crossed his fingers and rested them on his knee. “Do you think Freyja doesn’t care about you because she only cares about Deedee?”“I…” Colton rubbed his nose. “I was just too an
