“You brat, are you telling me that you dislike it?” Maisie turned the baby in her arms toward him. “You’d better come up with the name that you want for your daughter in front of her right now. If she laughs, we’ll name her using the name that you want. But if she cries, you’ll just have to accept the fact that she’ll be called Hope for the rest of her life.”Colton was dubious. “Can... Can she even understand it?”Maisie waved her hand. “Whether Hope will understand it or not is the least of your worries. Go for it now.”Colton stared at the little girl, who still looked a little wrinkled in the swaddle, and seemed a little embarrassed.‘I’m not really competent when it comes to naming my own daughter.’He then looked at Freyja.Freyja froze for a split second. “Don’t stare at me. I can’t think of a better name than Hope.”Colton crossed his arms. “My sister’s name is Daisie, named after the flower daisy. If I call my daughter Hope Goldmann, there will be one too many names in
The next day, Gina provided all the evidence to the court. Everything she gave showed the court that her husband cheated on her, made her a victim of domestic violence, and even attempted to kidnap their biological son to force her into filing the divorce without asking for a single penny. She asked the court to get things moving as soon as possible.Derrien also provided the court with more important information and evidence, which pointed to the fact that Ronald intended to kill his wife.Gina never thought of this and was shocked by it. “H-He wanted to kill me?”Derrien nodded. “After you fainted at Ms. Blueman’s place, Mr. George didn’t show any intention of rescuing you. Instead, he planned to kill you and bury your body in order to get rid of all evidence. You would've died that day if someone else hadn’t heard the commotion and come to your rescue.“Gina’s face paled.‘What kind of man have I been married to all these years? My husband actually wanted to kill me for a mistr
Deedee pressed her lips together before saying, “But I touched it first.”The girl put her hands on her waist. “I don’t care. I saw it first, and I’m older, so you need to let me have it.”Just when Deedee was hesitating, a woman walked over. “Beatrice, that’s not polite.”Beatrice turned around. “Mom, I saw this first, and I like it!”Barbara was helpless. She leaned down to look at Beatrice and said, “You can’t say that you’re older, so she should let you have it. That’s impolite.”Beatrice lowered her head and pouted. Barbara looked at Deedee, “Do you like this dress too?”Deedee cautiously nodded. Barbara smiled and asked the shopkeeper over. “Do you have another one of this dress?”The dress was inspired by the ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ costume. It was a popular item and sold out in Bassburgh. This was the last one they had. Barbara sighed and touched Beatrice’s head. “Bea, I’ll bring you somewhere else to find prettier dresses. We don’t have to take this one.”Beatri
Waylon turned around and suddenly smiled. “Aunt Barbara.”Barbara walked over while holding Beatrice’s hand. “It’s Wayne.”The car window was down, so Beatrice saw Deedee sitting in the car. “Isn’t this the girl from the store?”Waylon patted her head. “Bea, do you know Deedee?”Beatrice looked up at him. “Is her name Deedee? We met her while shopping with Mommy just now. She let me have a dress that we both wanted.”Barbara told Waylon what had transpired in the store, and Waylon smiled at Deedee. “You did well.”Deedee was bashful at the compliment. Barbara smiled too. “Deedee is Freyja’s niece. That’s why she looked familiar.”Everyone in Bassburgh knew that Freyja had a niece, and Barbara had heard of her too. She just never thought that they would bump into her at the mall. That was fate. She noticed Cameron and raised her brows. “Could this be Ms. Southern?”Cameron was surprised. “How did you know?”She had just been in Bassburgh for a short time. Barbara smiled.
Freyja ate the food. “After the child is born, love is no longer as intense.”Colton chuckled. “After giving birth to the child, you have the energy to bicker with me, huh?”She continued to eat and ignored him. He hadn’t shown any appreciation ever since Charmaine's birth. What made her angrier was that he would help her with everything before that, but once it was done, he would disappear.‘Is he no longer interested because he saw how Charm came out?‘Hah, men.’Colton noticed that she had a dark aura and was cautious. “Who made you angry?”Freyja glared at him because she thought the question was rhetorical. Colton didn’t know what to do. He moved next to her and was going to hug her, but she blocked his hands. “Don’t hug me.”He retracted his arms. Freyja looked at him and asked, “You really stopped because I said so?”Colton chuckled. “Well, do you want a hug or not?”She said, “Hug me when you figure out what’s wrong.”Colton stared at her and could guess why she
“Mr. Goldmann, $1,000,000 is nothing to you. As long as you give me the money, I promise that all this will be kept between you and me.”Colton raised his brows. “Why should I believe you?”Colton stopped next to the bed and stared at her with cold eyes. “After I give you the money, you’ll just spend it and come back to me for more. Jessie Blueman, do you think I’m as easy to con as Ronald George?”Jessie froze as though he read her mind and immediately said, “Aren’t you afraid that I will expose you?”He pulled out a chair and slowly sat down. “Go ahead.”Jessie was stunned. “You…”Colton crossed his legs. “You used your position, coerced Deedee to harm herself, and forced her to take medication. You even told her to hurt her aunt’s child. All those are punishable by law.“You say that you have evidence of me hiring people to assault you, then go ahead and expose it. Do you think anyone will believe you?”Jessie’s heart leaped, and she found it hard to breathe. “You… Even if I
The next day…A few luxury cars were parked outside the hospital. The media found out what happened, and they were camping outside.Maisie, who was carrying her granddaughter, walked out under the bodyguards’ protection.Colton held Freyja and walked behind them. The reporters rushed forward to be the first to report on the news.“Mr. Goldmann, did you have an illegitimate child with Ms. Pruitt? There was no announcement about your wedding before this, so I’d like to know if you got together because Ms. Pruitt was pregnant.”One of the reporters walked in front and asked questions that were straight to the point. Colton and Freyja were just confirmed to be married, and when she was later found to be pregnant, people were discussing their relationship status online. Some reporters turned to Maisie. “Mrs. Goldmann, do you have anything to say about this?”Maisie was carrying the baby and tried to hide Charmaine’s face from the cameras. She smiled. “I’m glad that you care so m
Are you serious? Don’t think that everyone is Cinderella. In the fairy tale, Cinderella was a noble before she fell from grace. You’re even less than Cinderella. Besides, the Goldmanns haven’t even said anything yet, so why do you have so many things to say?##I remember that someone exposed her identity before. She’s related to the family of the Yaramoor.##But she isn’t part of the royal family. Her grandmother was the mistress of the king. In other words, she’s a homewrecker. How can you help a homewrecker?##The difference between a homewrecker and a mistress is that the existence of a mistress is allowed. Just like how people in the past could have three or four wives, so of course, we can accept it now. At that time, it was legal. Besides, it's her grandmother who chose to be a mistress. Could she choose what family she wanted to be born into? She didn't get to enjoy any rights of the royal family either, right? I heard that she didn't have a good relationship with her family
