โHmm... Stop it...โ Cameron pushed him away. She was so sleepy that she could not even open her eyes, and everything happening around her was blurred out to her.Waylonโs Adamโs apple twitched, and he loosened his collar. โLook at you, sleeping as soundly as a baby does.โHe rolled onto the bed, took her into his arms, and stroked her cheek with his palm. โWhen will you make our relationship known to the public?โOn the other side of the city, in the hotelโฆMinzy was sitting on the couch, going through the news article. She had long known that the media would publish the news. Reading how the reporters and editors brought the relationship between her and Waylon to life, she pursed her lips tightly.She was afraid that Waylon would release a statement to clarify their relationship, but she also hoped he would not.โWith this news, can I consider myself somehow related to him now?โThe doorbell rang all of a sudden.Minzy got up and walked up to the door to open it. She was surpr
Mallon left the room after saying what he had to say.The next day, early in the morningโฆA shimmer of light pierced through the curtains and shone on the head of the bed. Cameron turned over, hugged someone beside her, and suddenly opened her eyes.Waylon lay beside her on his side, propping his hand against the side of his forehead as if he had been awake for a long time.He fiddled with the ends of her hair and kissed it. โYouโve woken up?โCameron closed her eyes. โNo, I havenโt.โHe smirked, turned over, and covered her with his body in an instant.Cameron opened her eyes immediately and pressed her hands against his chest. โWayne Goldmann!โHis kiss stopped at the corner of her lips. โWhatโs up?โโI want to eat The Atticโs short ribs.โThe last time they ordered takeout from that place, she got to try the short ribs once, and she really liked them.Waylon chuckled, knowing that she was changing the subject. โAlright, Iโll go and buy them.โHe was about to get up, but
Seeing that Cameron was so jealous, Waylon laughed out loud. โWhoโs the one who told me that we wonโt be making our relationship public? How do you plan to explain this to the media and public if we are caught and photographed by paparazzi?โCameron choked on her own words. She suddenly remembered that she had said something about not wanting to make things between them public before this.Waylon raised his eyebrows slightly. โIs that all you have to say?โShe was a little embarrassed.โIโm indeed the one who said that I didn't want to be made public back then, but Iโm also the one whoโs demanding to make things public now. Did I just smack myself in the face?โโYouโre going back on your own words now, and Iโm confused about what I should believe and ignore.โ Waylon propped his hand against the side of his forehead and gave off a clearly satisfied expression accompanied by traces of innocence.โIf our marriage were to be made public, you might start to regret marrying me and ask
#Am I the only one who thinks that this old man is trying his best to help his daughter cut ties with the eldest heir of the Goldmanns? Could it be that heโs a very promiscuous man?##Oh my, now that you mentioned it, when Mr. Goldmann attended the variety show with Daisie, the way he looked at and interacted with Ms. Southern seemed rather flirtatious, but heโs now having a private meal with another woman. Speaking of which, the second heir of the Goldmanns and Daisie have both settled down, and the eldest brother is the only one left. Itโs hard not to let my imagination run wild.##Mr. Goldmann is giving me a playboy vibe now. He seems to treat all women too well...#At BlackgoldโฆWaylon closed the lid of his laptop after watching the news regarding Mallonโs clarification. As for the gossip on the Internet, he straight-up ignored all of them.Leonardo knocked on the door at that moment.He lifted his gaze. โCome in.โLeonardo pushed the door into the office and asked, โMr. Gol
โPfft! Wayne Goldmann, what a blessed b*stard you are! A pretty lady is down here fighting for a chance just to deliver a meal into your hands!โA faint smile escaped through the corners of Minzyโs lips. โYes, but Mr. Goldmann isnโt in, so even if youโve come all the way here, Iโm afraid thereโs nothing you can do about his absence.โโHeโs not here at the company?โ Cameron looked slightly bewildered.โWhy would I lie to you? Heโs really not inโโCameron did not even wait for her to finish the sentence. She took out her cell phone, dialed his number, and asked, โWhere are you?โMinzyโs expression stiffened slightly.Cameron then hung up the phone. โHe just told me that heโs in the office. Ms. Holland, lying is not a good habit that you should have.โMinzyโs expression looked even more embarrassed. She did not expect Cameron to call Waylon directly in order to confirm his location. That was a direct smack in her face.โWayne deliberately didnโt want to see me, but heโs more than
โEveryone has a fair chance to compete. I presented you with the chance back then, but whether he would choose to be with you was never in my control. And youโre saying I was making a fool out of you? But think carefully, am I the person who told him not to choose you?โโYouโโโWhat will you get from arguing with me about these details now? If you think you still have a fighting chance, just go to Wayne and ask him for an explanation instead of harassing me. You should know that I grew up in the East Islands, and Iโve already gotten very used to being rude and vulgar. So if anything were to go wrong, Iโd certainly make a move. You being a man or a woman makes no difference to me.โAfter saying that, Cameron left her alone and left the scene.Minzy clenched her hands that were resting on her sides.โHow can she expect me to feel reconciled about my loss?!โCameron was extremely angry as Minzy had inexplicably targeted her because of Waylon.โThat b*stard only knows how to attract
The receptionist left the scene in a hurry, hoping that she had not made any major mistake today!Waylon lowered his gaze, glanced at Cameron, who looked infuriated, and could not help but laugh out loud. โWhatโs the matter? You got so angry just because someone stopped you in the lobby?โCameron crossed her arms. โThis has nothing to do with being stopped or not.โHe narrowed his eyes as if he had seen through her thoughts. โDid you run into Minzy?โโWhat do you think?โโI thought so.โWaylon smiled. โWhat did she tell you?โCameron turned her face away. โShe? She told me a lot of stuff.โWaylon raised his arm and wrapped it around her shoulder. He did not even care if there was anyone in the lobby and led her into the elevator.When the elevator arrived at the administrative department, the departmentโs employees were utterly dumbfounded when they saw Waylon coming out of the elevator with a woman in his arms. Some of them even managed to recognize Cameron.โIsnโt that the
It was to accuse her of being a two-faced person. Cameron was supposed to introduce Minzy to Waylon and make them a couple, but she ended up falling for her friendโs man and said that it was a fair competition.Because of that comment, everyone started speculating that the Ms. Southern in question was the female guest who had shown up on the variety show with Waylon. Some of the more rational netizens said that Cameron did nothing wrong. Minzy and Waylon werenโt dating, so it was a fair competition.However, some netizens thought that Cameron was deceitful because she was supposed to help Waylon and Minzy get together but ended up falling for him and stealing him. That wasnโt considered competing fairly. She had just โtrickedโ her friend.The people who watched the talk show suddenly lost their interest in Cameron and turned into haters. In the end, the truth about Cameron pretending to be a man for over two decades on the East Islands was exposed. People were saying that she
โDaisie.โ Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. โYou look so pretty today.โโThank you,โ Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. โI propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.โDaisie clinked glasses with her. โSame goes for you and Morrison.โAfter 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. โYou were great earlier today.โShe giggled. โReally?โNolan added, โYouโll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.โDaisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. โDad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisieโs hand.โโConsider yourself lucky.โ Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. โYouโd better treat my daughter well from now on.โNollace glanced at Daisie. โDonโt worry. Sheโll forever be my one and only.โMaisie 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 carriageโthe 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. Patrickโs 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 Daisieโs hand and smiled suddenly. โYou have sweaty palms.โDaisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, โIโm nervous.โHe lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. โIโm here, so donโt be nervous. Just take it easy.โDaisieโs gaze landed on his wedding jacket. โYou look nice in this uniform.โNollace chuckled. โAnd my bride looks stunning too.โArriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
โBy the way, whereโs Cameron?โ asked Morrison.Waylon replied, โSheโs accompanying her father on a stroll. Iโm going to go meet them already, so Iโll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.โAfter saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. โHeโs changed now that he has a wife.โโYouโre speaking as if you havenโt changed.โ Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. โHey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.โMaisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. โMrs. Goldmann.โMaisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. โHave you finished catching up?โโOf course. Didnโt you want to go to the Hathawaysโ villa with Dad in the afternoon?โNolan smiled. โI was waiting for you. Weโre just going over to have a meal together.โQuincy walked up to Saydieโs side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. โThen Iโll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my momโs jewelry company and design.โNollace hugged her from behind. โYou can do anything as long as you like it.โโฆThe 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, โGodfather!โStrix 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, โNolly, Iโm really looking forward to our wedding.โโReally?โ Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. โIโm looking forward to it too.โโI 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.โHe laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. โYou know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.โDaisie turned her head around. โWhat are your wishes?โโMarry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.โShe was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
โYeah, itโs true,โ replied Zephir.โIt seems like youโve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.โ Naomi patted his shoulder. โI wish you all the best in your future endeavors.โ He smiled at her but did not say anything.โฆSoon, 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. โMommy! Daddy!โShe hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. โYouโre an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.โShe smiled back at them and said, โBut I know Iโll always be your kid in your eyes.โMaisie chuckled and looked at the other people. โIt seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.โFreyja 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. โWhat a coincidence.โโMorrison and I were here earlier than you guys,โ said Leah. โWe only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.โDaisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, โThen you should stay a few more days with us.โAfter Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. โSheโs my sister-in-law, Freyja, and sheโs my sister. Her name is Daisie.โโIโve seen them before at your wedding,โ said Morrison. โYour sister is my wifeโs classmate. She has told me before.โโSince when did I become your wife? Thereโs a chance I may not marry you in the future,โ said Leah.โWeโre already engaged. If you donโt want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?โ Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, โEngaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?โ Leah cleared her throat and replied, โWell, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, โ$10 for three chances.โโ$10 for three chances only? Thatโs expensive,โ commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, โIโm the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.โ Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, โLet'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.โAfter that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, โPlease give us six hoops.โThe 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, โLeave it to me.โShe 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. โWhatโs the matter? You canโt sleep?โโYeahโฆโ She buried her head in his chest and said, โI want to go to take a leak, but Iโm a little bit scared.โNollace kissed her forehead and said, โIโll go with you then.โBoth 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, โYou wait for me here.โNollace nodded. โJust shout my name if you need anything.โShe 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 Nollaceโs arm. โAlright, letโs go
