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
Waylon left the room. Cameron frowned and fell deep in thought. Meanwhile, it was afternoon in Yaramoor. Freyja returned from her lectures. She wasn’t very comfortable leaving Colton and her father together because she knew Colton didn’t like her father. Her father was a softie, so it would be a disaster if Colton made him cry.She took out her keys, opened the door, and was immediately hit by the smell of alcohol. The two men had gotten some snacks and started drinking. They had finished up two dozen bottles of beer. Brandon had even taken out two bottles of wine that they were keeping. One of them was already empty, while the other had less than 1/3 left. Maybe he had drunk a little too much as he was crying like a child while holding Colton and an empty bottle.He said he felt sorry about this and that, as well as that he was useless. Colton had drunk a lot as well and was resting his head on his hand, not listening to what Brandon was saying. Colton poured him more wi
The next day…When Freyja woke up, her throat was dry, and she didn’t have the energy to get out of bed. Colton brought breakfast in on a tray and saw the marks on her neck. He was very happy with his ‘work’. “You’re up quite early.”He placed the food on the table. On top of the simple breakfast, there was a bowl of soup too. “I was worried that you would be too tired, so I made you some soup.”Freyja was curious. “Do people eat soup for breakfast?”He sat on the bed, scooped up some soup, and blew on it. “It will make you feel better.”He brought the soup to her mouth, so she drank it, then pointed at the tray. “I want the egg. Peel it for me.”Colton placed the bowl down and did as she asked. He fed her before, but he would say something back along the lines that she was ordering him around. But now, his ‘obedient’ attitude made her feel awkward.Realizing that she was staring at him, Colton looked up. “What’s wrong?”Freyja leaned in. “Did you do something? Did you beat
Minzy looked around. Even though Waylon didn’t have feelings for her, she couldn’t help but want to get his attention. He hadn’t announced his relationship with Cameron, and they weren’t married yet, so she assumed she still had a chance. “Mr. Goldmann, would you want to go catch a movie this weekend? I can’t find anyone to go with me, and you’re the only person I know in Bassburgh.”Minzy shyly invited him. Waylon raised his brows and thought about it. The driver looked into the rearview mirror. “Sir, there’s a car that’s following us.”Waylon was calm and seemed to know who was in the car, so he curled his lips.Minzy turned around and looked nervous. “Following us? Is it someone we know?”Waylon didn’t mind. “Who knows? Maybe.”When Minzy saw that he wasn’t anxious about being followed, said it might be someone they knew, and was looking very calm and collected, she guessed that he knew who it was. She wanted to know if it was the person she thought it was…The car w
Waylon was the first man to reject her.He was also the first who never showed any admiration or thought about her.That was why she couldn’t forget him even after returning to Kong Port. She felt that the men around her weren’t even half as good as he was. Minzy sadly returned to her hotel and suddenly saw a flash. She paused and realized that someone was taking pictures of her.She was going to stop it when she suddenly remembered something and stopped in her tracks.…Waylon returned to Emperon and saw that Cameron’s shoes weren’t there. He called her, but she didn’t pick up. He guessed where she went, so he sent a text to Daisie. Meanwhile, at the martial arts center…After reading the text from Waylon, Daisie turned to Cameron, who was punching the punching bag. When Cameron went to see her, Daisie had already guessed that it was because she had a spat with him. It must have been something serious to make her so angry. Daisie: [What did you do?]Waylon: [Colton
“I guess I should show you what I’m capable of!” Instead of calming them down, the onlookers joined the fray and worsened the situation.Cameron was already in a bad mood. Now that someone had offered himself to let her vent her spleen, her eyes instantly glowed up with happiness. “Honestly, a black belt in Taekwondo is nothing. There's nothing to brag about.”Conroy scoffed. He had never seen such an arrogant woman before. “Girl, don’t you think you’ve taken it a little bit too far?”Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Cameron said, “Hah, bragging is for losers. A true master will never give their opponent any chance to fight back.”Conroy finally flew into a rage after being repeatedly insulted by Cameron. He rolled his sleeves and said, “I’ve already given you a chance, but you don’t cherish it. It seems like I should teach you some manners today.”Cameron raised her hand and said, “Wait.” Conroy thought Cameron was scared and laughed triumphantly. “If you apologize to
“What?” When Daisie heard what Cameron said, she looked at Conroy and asked, “You tried to take advantage of her? How dare you!”After she finished speaking, she delivered a kick at him, sending him to the ground.Cameron stopped Daisie when she was about to follow up with another kick. “Alright, alright. That’s enough. I've already beaten him up. It'll be bullying if we continue to beat him.”Meanwhile, someone came into the building.When he saw the scene in the building, he narrowed his eyes. “What happened here?”The moment Cameron saw Waylon, her anger flared up again, and she kicked Conroy.Daisie wanted to stop her, but she was too slow. Conroy was stunned for a moment. After regaining his senses, he cried out loud, “Why did you kick me again?”‘How can she bully me like this!?’Waylon hurriedly went forward and grabbed Cameron. “Alright, stop now.” Cameron flung his hand away and said, “It’s none of your business.”Waylon narrowed his eyes and said, “It’s none of m
Waylon turned his head to look at her. “I can even smell your jealousy from here.”Cameron refused to admit it and said, “Who told you that I’m jealous?”“If you’re not jealous, then why are you so angry, and why did you follow my car today?”Cameron was stunned. She turned her head to look at him. “You know I was following you today?”He chuckled. “Yeah. After all, no one else would do something like that aside from you.”Cameron bit her lips and did not say anything.She did not know why she wanted to follow them either. Maybe she was angry, or maybe she just did not want Minzy to be so close to him? After a long while of silence, she suddenly asked, “Is Ms. Holland your type?”Waylon frowned. “Have I ever said that she’s my type?”“No man would say no to a gentle and kind woman like her, right? It’s okay. You can let me know if you like her. I can understand it.”Waylon suddenly stamped on the accelerator, causing Cameron to hold tightly at the handle. “What are you doing
“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
