Francisco didn’t notice anything wrong with Chadwick and placed his hand on his head. “Did you play with the kids?”Chadwick pressed his lips together and mumbled, “I don’t like to play with them.”He paused, then frowned. “Why?”His son didn’t have a lot of friends in school. Being a loner wasn’t great, so Francisco was worried about him. “You still need to make some friends. Look at Beatrice.”Chadwick turned away. “She’s very childish.”Francisco chuckled. Why was his son so mature?“Dad.” Chadwick looked at him. “Does Uncle Wayne have a wife?”Francisco was startled and squinted. “Why?”“Just curious.”“Yes, he does.”Chadwick was shocked. “Really?”Francisco started driving while he asked, “Why are you suddenly interested in Uncle Wayne?”Was this really a child? He wasn’t interested in toys or cartoons, but he was interested in gossip.Chadwick took a deep breath because his little heart couldn’t take it anymore. “But… Can a man be married to another man?”Francisco
No one expected Mr. Weatherby to suddenly grab Freyja’s hand and rub it. Freyja pulled her hand back too hard, the glass dropped to the ground, and the noise attracted everyone’s attention.Mr. Weatherby took his chance and started to pretend that she was the problem. “Mrs. Goldmann, I’ve apologized, so even if you don’t want to forgive me, there’s no need to act this way.”Freyja clenched her jaw. “You’re not apologizing. You’re—”“Look at this woman. She’s not even married into the family yet, but she’s already throwing tantrums. I apologized to her, but she pushed the glass away.”He didn’t give Freyja a chance to speak and kept adding fuel to the fire. He was going to push Freyja into a corner.Freyja balled up her fist. She didn’t want to start anything at her daughter’s party, but why was he forcing her?Mr. Weatherby saw that she wasn’t fighting back and guessed that she didn’t have the guts to do it. If she said he molested her, he would just say she tried to seduce him
“Do I need to repeat what I just said, Mr. Weatherby?”Royce was startled and said nervously, “No… I… This woman is lying!”When he saw Nolan and Maisie, his eyes were filled with hope. He got up to them and explained, “Mr. and Mrs. Goldmann, you’ve got to believe me. Everything I said is the truth!”Nolan looked at him expressionlessly without saying anything. Maisie chuckled and said, “My daughter-in-law spoke pretty clearly. Mr. Weatherby, do you think you’re better than my own son?”“That’s not what I mean…”Colton walked up to Freyja and pushed her to his back. “Do you want me to show you the footage from the security camera?”Royce knew he had lost his chance to explain himself when he heard that Colton was going to check the security camera. Beads of cold sweat began to break out from Royce’s back. He dropped to his knees with a plop in front of Colton and pleaded for his mercy. “I’m sorry, Mr. Goldmann. It was all my fault. I hope you can give me another chance. After
Deedee, Beatrice, and Francisco’s son, Chadwick Boucher, all sat around Charm and had a good photo as well.…Cameron took the photo out inside the car and asked with a frown, “Why do I have to take a family photo with you guys?” Waylon, who was driving the car, touched his lips with his finger and chuckled. “Congratulations on becoming one of the Goldmanns, then.”She turned her head around. “I’m not one of the Goldmanns yet.” Waylon took a glance at her and pulled over. He turned around and approached her. “So, when do you want to officially become one of the Goldmanns?”Cameron did not reply. Waylon caressed the corner of her eyes with his finger and gazed intently at her lips. She was distracted for a moment, and then a pair of gentle and warm lips landed on hers. Her eyelashes twitched as she placed her hands on his chest.She was falling deeper and deeper in his kiss.Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and that snapped Cameron back to reality. She hastily pushed
Colton grabbed her hand. “Freyja, you…”“So, I’ve made up my mind.” Freyja ripped off his tie, disheveling his collar. As she approached him, she said, “I'll make myself stand as close to you as possible. It doesn't matter if I can't reach your height. At the very least, I have to show everyone that I'm not useless without you.”Initially, Colton thought she was going to say something like she wanted to leave again. He did not expect something like that from her, and he was stunned for a moment.After a while, he grabbed her into his arms. The neon lights outside the window had cast a shadow over them. “When are you going back?”Freyja coiled her arms around his neck and answered, “Tomorrow afternoon, so…”Colton pinned her to the window and kissed her. She took off his jacket and dropped it on the floor. Dewdrops dotted the window, mottling the light that poured in from the outside streetlamps. In the dim light, under the cover of darkness, two figures were engaged in the most ta
Colton looked at his empty arms until Freyja’s figure disappeared into the crowd. She had only left him for a few minutes, and he had already started to miss her.He did not know how he was going to spend his life without Freyja. At that moment, his phone rang. It was Leonardo. Colton answered the call, and Leonardo said, “Sir, Mr. Weatherby wants to see you.”Colton frowned.Royce was waiting for Colton in the lobby of the Blackgold Group. He told them he would not leave until he saw Colton. Leonardo couldn’t send him away, so he had no other choice but to call Colton.When Colton appeared in the lobby, Royce knelt before him and pleaded, “Mr. Goldmann, I’m really sorry about what I did. Please forgive me. I’ll do everything you say. Just don’t cancel the cooperation between our companies.”The Blackgold Group monopolized most of the technology and construction industries in Bassburgh. If no company wanted to supply materials for him, his company would be done for!Colton lo
Colton frowned deeply. ‘Why isn’t she sending me any text messages or calling me?’Leonardo appeared at the door. “Mr. Goldmann.”He replied absentmindedly, “Yeah?”“Your brother is here,” replied Leonardo.After that, he turned sideways to make way for Waylon.Leonardo made a pot of tea for both of them, put the teapot on the table, and left the office.Waylon picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. “I heard that Freyja has returned to Yaramoor?”“Yeah,” replied Colton. “Just say what you want to say. There are only two of us here.” Waylon chuckled. He knew something was troubling Colton. Colton leaned against the back of the chair and said, “It has been a few days since she returned to Yaramoor, but she hasn’t given me any call yet. I’m worried about her.”Waylon laughed. “It has only been four days. There’s nothing to worry about.”Colton crossed his arms in front of his chest and replied, “She should at least give me a call.”Waylon placed the teacup in
Brandon opened the refrigerator, and there was nothing in it, leaving him feeling a little embarrassed. “I haven’t been preparing anything to eat in a long time. You should take a seat first. I’ll go out to buy some ingredients. What do you want to eat tonight?”Freyja sat on the couch. “Whatever, anything will do.”Brandon walked to the entryway, picked up his coat, and put it on. “Okay, then I’ll go out now.”Freyja stopped him. “Dad.”Brandon turned back and was stunned for a short moment.Freyja added, “I’ll go with you.”The father and daughter went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and food. Freyja had not gone out with her father for a long time. She vaguely remembered that she was only a few years old the last time her father took her out to play.Twenty years had passed in the blink of an eye.In the family that she used to have, her mother was mightily aggressive, and her father was extremely cowardly, and that combination caused the relationship between her
