“No, wait!” shouted Cameron. Perhaps even Waylon himself did not expect the thing that helped him win over Cameron’s heart was his cooking skills.“You want to eat, but you don’t want to forgive me,” he said with a frown tugging at the center of his forehead. “This is difficult. You’re confusing me. I don’t know what you want anymore.”“Did I say I’m not going to forgive you?”He raised his eyebrows. “So you forgave me?”Cameron stretched her arm and reached out for the plate of short ribs. She looked at Waylon and smiled. “Of course. I’m not a petty-minded person. A good woman like me doesn’t fight with men.”Waylon pushed her hand away and said, “Nah, I guess I should finish this plate of short ribs myself.”“No!” Cameron pounced on him from the back and hugged him. “I’m really hungry. Please let me eat it.”He was stunned. ‘Is she begging me?’She looked just like a greedy kitten asking him for food.Waylon turned around to look at her and smiled. “Go wash your hands.”
Zephir’s punches were no less than those of the man with the gold necklace.The two fought, and the scene became extremely chaotic in a matter of seconds.A customer called the police immediately and reported that there was a fight, and the police soon arrived at the scene and brought the two under control.At the precinct, Zephir sat on the bench and remained silent while his opponent kept explaining to the police, and he sounded very agitated.But because the surveillance footage showed that the man with the gold necklace was the one who started it all, he was the one who got penalized.Leah hurried to the precinct at that moment. “Zephir, you b*stard! What the heck were you thinking?”She walked up to him. “Do you know what time it is now? You got into a fight, and I’m the one you call in the middle of the night to bail you out? Have you lost your mind?”She then crossed her arms angrily. “You know that this is an embarrassing thing to get yourself involved in. That’s why you
Leah stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar, and yelled at him, “We’re all adults already, so it’s time to wake up. Otherwise, why would there be something that’s known as wishful thinking? It’s because the world is never a fair place!“Not everything in life responds or reciprocates to your thoughts. Zephir, if you’ve already given up on yourself, then I can only say that choosing Nollace Knowles over you is the best choice that Daisie has made in her life.”Leah let go of him without hesitation, turned around, got into her car, and left.Only Zephir was left behind, standing alone on the spot as the yellow streetlights created multiple slender figures under his feet.Sure enough, Zephir made the news the next day because of the brawl. And Zephir stepped forward to admit it to the public, apologize, and left the conference under the siege of reporters without even turning his head behind.Daisie was a little surprised when she saw the news while eating breakfast.‘Zephir doe
Daisie sneered, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on his chin. “Then, should I wait for your retaliation after this?”Nollace laughed and hugged her tightly. “There’s nothing I can do about you now.”The two kissed, but Daisie’s cell phone rang, interrupting the atmosphere suddenly and causing Nollace’s expression to dim again.Daisie picked up her phone and saw it was a call from Leah.She looked at Nollace and blinked. “Hubby, may I?”Seeing that she still cared about his feelings, he did not feel as infuriated as he was minutes ago anymore. He then gave her a peck on the forehead. “Go.”“Love you!” She kissed him on the cheek and walked aside to answer the phone.Leah was waiting for her in a café. Soon, she saw a woman wearing a mask and hat walk into the cafe. She came straight to her table, took off her coat, looked around carefully, and removed her mask. “Leah, what’s wrong with Zephir? What happened?”Leah stirred her coffee’s foam. “Who knows? He said he had a little too
‘Could it be that Zephir has really gotten together with Zoey?’“What do you mean by that? Is this very surprising to you?” Zoey sneered. “Take this as my warning to you. Stop pestering my man.”After saying that, she hung up the phone and blocked Daisie’s number on Zephir’s cell phone.Looking at the call that got hung up, Daisie was at a loss for words.‘Is Zephir really dating Zoey?’For some reason, she felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.On the other end of the call, in a villa apartment…When Zephir woke up and found Zoey lying beside him, he instantly pushed her away and sat up.Upon thinking of something, his expression dimmed.Zoey had actually woken up a long time ago. Seeing this, she wrapped herself in the quilt and smiled coquettishly. “Mr. Gosling, I’m all yours from now on.”Zephir got out of bed, grabbed his shirt, and put it on.Seeing that he did not say anything, Zoey thought he had acquiesced to their relationship and started to feel smug
Zoey’s shoulders trembled.‘Damn, I’ve been careless. Or is this man so terrifyingly insidious?’Zephir placed his hand on her shoulder. “Do you want to be the lead actress in my movie?”“I... I...” Zoey could not even speak at this moment.However, Zephir smirked and stroked her face. “It’s just a role, so why bother risking everything that you have? I can give you the role.”Zoey was dumbfounded. “Really?”He squinted and grinned while his fingers rested on the neck that was covered with finger marks. “Of course, as long as you listen to my orders and do as I say.”Zoey really thought that Zephir was willing to support her, and she was exhilarated deep down. But how would she know she would be completely ruined in the future?A few days later, Zephir’s studio announced the film preparations, and the lead actress was Zoey. With this announcement, more netizens started talking about Zoey’s relationship with Zephir. After all, on the night of the show, the man who attended the e
“What’s wrong? Can’t I talk about this? There’s no reason to bring up something from so long ago.”The father and son started bickering. Waylon hugged Cameron by her shoulders and brought her away from the living room. Cameron laughed when they got to the garden. “The two old men are so adorable. They’re so different from you.”Waylon squinted and looked at her while tilting his head. “So different from us?”Cameron turned to face him while walking backward. “Do you bicker with your brother? No. The rowdy ones in your family are your sister and the two old men.“If they weren’t around, I think your home would be so quiet, unlike the Southern Clan.”Colton and Waylon would never be rowdy, and neither would Nolan and Maisie. Other than Daisie and the two elders, the rest of the Goldmanns were just like them. Waylon stopped in his tracks and smiled. “That’s true. It really is livelier when Great-grandpa and Grandpa are around, but…” He paused for a few seconds and raised his br
Cameron suddenly chuckled. “That’s not bad. I thought you would give up your dreams after getting pregnant.”Daisie smiled. “We don’t live for our children, and neither should they. We’re all individuals. Life is too short, so if I give up on a career I love because of my child, my life will be meaningless.”Cameron smirked. “But Nollace and the Goldmanns have money. It would be able to cover your expenses for a few lifetimes.”Even if she gave up on her career and stayed home doing nothing, she wouldn’t have to worry about anything. That was a life that most people wanted. Why else would people want to marry into rich families? They were all eyeing that comfort.Daisie beamed. “No way. I can’t just use my family’s money. I would feel bad for Nolly.”Cameron smirked. Did she just get a slap on her face?But she finally understood why Nollace would care so much about Daisie. It was because Daisie’s heart was full of him. How could a woman who would take risks with him without
“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
