Nick nodded. “I look forward to that.”Waylon took Cameron away.After leaving the training center, Cameron broke free from his arms and looked at him. “Do you really know Nick?”Waylon stared at her face. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be jealous when you keep on mentioning another man in front of me?”Cameron choked on her own words.“You? Getting jealous? What’s there to be jealous of?”Waylon pressed her against the hood of the car, pinched her chin, and moved half an inch closer to her. “Are the both of you close?”She did not even hesitate for a moment before answering, “I wouldn’t consider us to be close.”Waylon was at a loss. He seemed helpless because she answered his question so confidently and did not seem to be lying.He rubbed the corners of her lips with his fingertips and lowered his head to kiss her, and Cameron immediately propped her hands against his chest. “There are people here— Mmmm!”Waylon clasped the back of her head with his palm, diminishing every sing
Waylon held the back of her head and sealed her lips completely.Cameron was so infuriated that she wanted to bite him. However, as if he had known how she would react to his actions, he immediately pulled his lips away from her.Cameron grabbed a slipper and threw it at him.Waylon dodged the projectile by hiding behind the door, and the shoe flew by his body, missing its target. He then laughed out loud. “How are you still so adorable when you’re pissed?”“Wayne Goldmann, get lost!”After Waylon left, Cameron lay on the side of the bathtub, and her cheeks blushed.‘That fella must’ve bewitched me. Otherwise, how could I... How could I almost accept his suggestion earlier!?’In the study room, Waylon sat behind the desk and read the materials that Leonardo had sent him.Nick Wickam, the owner of the martial arts training center, was considered quite a figure back in Southeast Eurasia.The Wickams had risen to fame in Southeast Eurasia. After Nick’s father, the patriarch of th
Cameron took a sip of tea. “It’s okay. I have the time.”Dylan rolled his eyes, seeing that she was going to stay here. “Just what do you want? Our grandmaster has already promised not to retaliate against you, so don’t push your luck.”Cameron crossed her legs. “I’m here to make an offer, and you’re saying that I’m pushing my luck. What’s wrong with you? Are you making a lot of money? Even if you despise me, at least show money a tad bit of respect.”Dylan was startled. “What do you mean by that?”She waved her hand. “You won’t understand even if I explain everything to you. Now go and get Nick to come out and meet me.”Dylan wanted to say something else, but a middle-aged man’s voice came from upstairs. “Dylan, let Ms. Southern through.”Dylan curled his lips and said reluctantly, “Please come with me.”“That’s more like it.” Cameron stood up with a smile, turned her head around, and said to Daisie, “Wait for me here.”Daisie nodded.Cameron went upstairs and came to Nick’s
Nick turned to look at Cameron. “Since when did you learn to speak for others?”Cameron was startled. “I’m telling the truth.”He did not say anything.Cameron narrowed her eyes. “Please don’t tell me that you’re still holding grudges against me?”He frowned. “What?”“I know. What I did back then was a little too much. I can apologize to you. After all, I was only a young and presumptuous girl back then.”After saying that, Cameron laughed and approached him all of a sudden. “Your martial arts training center teaches the Southerns’ fist techniques. It suits me just fine, doesn’t it? Worse comes to worst, you can continue to be the grandmaster of this place, and I’ll only be one of the shareholders or something like that, or maybe one of the trainers once in a while?”After a while, Cameron was driven out of the office.Cameron was caught off guard. She then turned around and yelled, “Hey! Why would you kick me out? Hey, Nick, what do you think? At least say something!”‘I’ll b
Before Cameron could finish her sentence, a car rushed toward them at high speed. Cameron tapped on the steering wheel, and the sharp screeching sound of tires followed. Daisie grabbed onto the seat belt and protected her belly while keeping her eyes tightly shut. They couldn’t avoid the car and bumped into the car in front of them. That immediately caused a chain accident. Cameron ignored her own pain and stretched her hand toward Daisie. “Daisie, are you alright?”She turned to look at Daisie in the passenger’s seat. She was shaking, and her face was pale because she was shocked. “I… I’m fine, but my belly hurts.”Cameron saw blood running down her legs, so she immediately unbuckled her belt and got out of the car. She grabbed the driver who came down to take a look. “Please drive us to the hospital. My friend is injured!”Cameron pulled Daisie out of the car and saw the blood running down her legs. The kind driver immediately drove them to the nearest hospital. Waylon w
Nolan pulled Maisie into his arms. “Alright, Daisie is safe now, so there’s no need to worry.”Waylon and Cameron walked over. “Dad, Mom.”Maisie got out of Nolan’s embrace, wiped her tears, and smiled. “Your sister and nephew are alright.”Waylon smiled too. “That’s great.”Cameron looked toward the ward. Even though they were both safe, she was still burdened. …Daisie woke up at 1:00 p.m. and saw Nollace dozing off next to her bed. She raised her hand and touched his face. Nollace slowly opened his eyes, looked into her, and held her hand that was on his face. “You’re awake.”She beamed.Nollace kissed her fingers. “You don’t know how worried I am…”Daisie turned to face him and chuckled. “I’m fine.”“You’re laughing?” Nollace gently knocked her head and leaned in closer. “I would go crazy if anything happened to you.”Daisie laughed but suddenly recalled something and immediately sat up straight before touching her belly. “What about the baby?”He smiled and patted h
The officer hesitated before nodding in approval. Waylon walked into the room, pulled out a chair, and sat down. The man had his head low as beads of sweat formed on his forehead.He looked at him for a moment. “I heard your car malfunctioned, and that was why it was out of control, right?”The man carefully looked up. “Yes.”Waylon squinted. “Are you sure?”The man was anxious. “I told you it was a malfunction. Why do you think I would put my life at risk?”Waylon calmly took out his phone, opened the footage of the accident, and placed the phone in front of him. He watched it while his eyes darted around. “What is this…”Waylon crossed his fingers, rested his chin on them, and stared at the man sharply as though he could see through him. “What if you knew you wouldn’t be in danger?”The man balled up his hands that were resting on his thighs as chills ran down his spine.Waylon placed his hands on the table and leaned forward. “You knew that you wouldn’t be in danger becaus
“You have to take your medicine.”“But it’s so bitter.”Nollace smiled. “You want me to feed you?”“Ahem.” Waylon interrupted and smiled. “Don’t mind us watching?”Daisie was surprised and awkwardly hid in Nollace’s arms. “Waylon!”Waylon smiled. “We could leave.”Nollace looked at them and asked, “Why are you here?”Cameron walked to the bed. “We went to take a look at the video footage.”Daisie looked up at them. “Of the accident?”Cameron nodded. “It was intentional.”Daisie paused for a second, then lowered her head. “But… I’m glad you’re fine.”Daisie held her hand and smiled. “Cam, don’t blame yourself. It’s not your fault.”Waylon pulled up a chair and sat down. “Alright, we have work to do. We need to find evidence that he had it planned.”In the room, Waylon told them about the results of the investigation. The accident was intentionally caused, and it was planned. As such, someone else must have been involved. Nollace leaned against the window and crossed his a
“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
