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
The living room was silent for a moment.Brandon was stunned for a long time, then lowered his head. “Fey... I just don’t want to cause you trouble.”He added slowly, “And there’s no need to spend so much money on food. As long as it’s still edible, it’ll get me going. I’m still doing well now, aren’t I?”Freyja scoffed out of anger. “Just give it to me straight. Are the Pruitts running out of money already?”He did not utter a single word.“I found out almost instantly when I first stepped into this place. The car parked outside is gone. You must’ve sold it. The things in the house haven’t changed much, but all the antiques that my mother bought back then are all gone now.” Freyja pointed to the empty cabinet.‘Mother had gotten used to living a luxurious lifestyle, and the antiques were her babies, so there’s no way that she would sell them away.‘That would leave me with only one possibility. Dad sold all the antiques and dismissed all the servants after my mother got into ja
Freyja knew that her father cooked up a feast last night only to store them in the refrigerator when they could not finish them.When Brandon saw Freyja had returned, he was flustered. He immediately closed the door of the refrigerator and explained, “It’s just last night’s dishes. Throwing them away now will be a waste...”Freyja did not say anything and placed the breakfast on the table. “Buy as much as you can eat in the future. Try not to keep dishes overnight.”Brandon replied instantly, “Okay, I’ll do so.”But she exposed him mercilessly, “If I wasn’t here, you wouldn’t do so at all, would you?”Brandon walked to the table, pulled out the chair, and sat down. “Do you plan to go back to the college for a postgraduate program entrance examination?”She peeled off the seal of a cheese sauce, grabbed some bread, and dipped it in cheese. “Yes, I’m going back to college today.”Brandon was about to say something when the doorbell rang.Freyja got up. “I’ll go.”Freyja came to
Brandon did not dare to say no to that, so he could only bring their guest along.Colton squinted slightly. “Guest?”‘Am I just a guest?’Freyja leaned over and glanced at him. “Otherwise, what else do you want to be? You’re at my house now, so who are you going to listen to?”Colton gnashed his teeth and responded in a low voice, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”“That’s right, good boy.” Freyja took out some cash and shoved them into his hand. “These are for grocery shopping. Don’t go on a shopping spree.”Colton was rendered speechless.After Freyja went back to college, Colton went to the supermarket with Brandon to buy some ingredients, but the two did not talk much, making the atmosphere a little awkward. After all, they did not know each other too well.Colton did not like Freyja’s family too much because of Sandy and Ken. However, Brandon was Freyja’s father, so he still showed him some respect.“Ahem, how should I address you?” Brandon was the first to break the silence as
Waylon greeted him with a handshake. “Mr. Warren, sorry to have kept you waiting.”Herald waved his hand. “Nah, we’ve just started. Come, let me introduce you to some of my business partners.”Herald led Waylon to several older men and introduced him enthusiastically, “All of them have certain levels of cooperation with Dominic Constructions. This is Mr. Nixon Weeber, Mr. Torres Xanthos, and Mr. Mallon Holland.”Waylon nodded to each of them.Nixon laughed. “I’ve always wanted to meet the second heir of the Goldmanns. Now that I get to meet you in person, you look as impressive as rumors have it. As expected of the son of the legendary Nolan Goldmann.”Waylon responded modestly, “You’re flattering me, Mr. Weeber.”Nixon sighed. “If not for the fact that you’re already unavailable and occupied, I’d definitely introduce my daughter to you.”Torres added, “Isn’t there another young heir? Mr. Goldmann’s elder brother? He must look a lot like Mr. Goldmann.”Waylon picked up the wine
Waylon smiled. “As long as you don’t mind.”Minzy paused, then smiled. “Of course I don’t.”Waylon looked at his watch and said, “It’s getting late. I’m heading home.”Minzy nodded. After he left, Minzy’s eyes shone.When Waylon got back to Emperon, it was already 10:30 p.m. He switched off the lights in the living room, went upstairs, and noticed the light coming from under the door, lighting up a small part of the dark corridor. ‘Is she still awake?’Waylon knocked, but there was no response. He pushed the door open and was shocked at the sight.Cameron was sleeping with her long legs crossed on the blanket. Half the blanket was on the floor while she wore a silky nightgown that might expose too much if she moved. He clenched his jaw. Was she testing his self-control? It wasn’t that great.Waylon stopped by the bed, leaned down, rested his hands on both sides, and planted a kiss on her lips without hesitation.Her eyes moved while she mumbled something.Waylon kissed d
“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
