Diana asked anxiously, “Honey, do you think Daisie will like these gifts or not? What if she doesn't like them? Hmm… I feel like something is missing. Should we go buy more?”Rick massaged his temples and shook his head helplessly. His wife had never been so thoughtful when preparing his birthday present.Soon, a maid called her from downstairs. “Ma’am, Master Nollace is back.”Diana left her husband at the side and ran downstairs. When she saw Daisie and Nollace, she went up to them with a smile on her face. Ignoring Nollace, she rushed right up to Daisie and hugged her. “Daisie, you’ve finally come to visit me. Do you know how much I’ve missed you?”Daisie had already experienced Diana’s enthusiasm. Putting on a smile, she said, “Me too, Mom.”Diana was stunned. She looked at Daisie with disbelief and asked, “What did you just call me?”“Mom? You don’t like it?” Daisie thought Diana did not like her calling her that.But other people said they should call their husband’s mot
Daisie smiled. “It’s okay. I can eat anything.”“Alright. I’ll go downstairs first.”Before Diana went away, she looked at Nollace and said, “Don’t you dare bully Daisie, you got it?”Nollace was rendered speechless.After Diana left, Daisie couldn’t hold herself back anymore and laughed. “Your mother is still as enthusiastic as always.”Nollace chuckled helplessly. “That’s because she likes you.”Daisie looked at him and said, “She likes you too. After all, you’re her only son.”He was stunned. He knew Daisie was comforting him and laughed. “Are you afraid I'll be upset?"She did not say anything.Nollace caressed her hair and kissed her forehead. “It’s a good thing that my mother likes you. If possible, I want to give you all the love in this world.”When they were having dinner, Diana just talked to Daisie and ignored her son and husband.“Sweetheart, you can’t just eat meat. You need to eat some vegetables too. Green food is healthy and nutritious.” After Diana finished
Nollace was rendered speechless.The next day, at the National Film and Television College…Freyja was preparing her script for her short film in the classroom when Shannon, Leia, and a few of her classmates came in.Shannon said, “By the way, my boyfriend is holding a sorority party at his house today. Do you want to come along?”“What? You have a boyfriend?”“Yeah, we’ve been together for more than a month. I didn’t have time to introduce him to you, but you guys will see him today.”“I’m so jealous of you. What does your boyfriend do for a living?”Shannon smiled and replied, “His family owns a business. His father planned to let him take over the company recently.”After Shannon finished speaking, she walked up to Freyja and asked, “Freyja, are you coming? You can bring your husband as well.”Freyja pressed her lips tightly. As if Shannon knew Freyja would reject her, she continued. “Don’t worry. All of us are friends. Come and join us for fun.”“That’s right, Freyja. Let
Colton checked through the contract. After a long while, he signed his name on it, and his lawyer also stamped it.After they left, Colton received a call from Maisie. He answered the call and said, “Mom?”Maisie said, “Cole, Daisie and Nolly have returned to Yaramoor. When you have time, help me to pay a visit to the Knowles. Remember to bring gifts.”“What? They’re in Yaramoor?”“Daisie is pregnant, so of course, she has to go back to Yaramoor with Nolly. Since you’re in Yaramoor, remember to pay a visit to the Knowles from time to time to promote the relationship between our families. Don’t make the Knowles feel that we’re slighting them. Understand?”Colton pressed his lips thin. “Okay.”After he hung up the call, he looked outside through the window. If Daisie was pregnant, did this mean that he would also become an uncle?For the sake of Daisie’s kid, it seemed to him that he should pay a visit to the Knowles.Suddenly, he received a text message that pulled him back to r
“What are you guys doing? I’ve brought you all some wine.” The man came over with two bottles of wine in his hand. Another two men were standing beside him as well.Shannon had never seen those two men before and was momentarily stunned. She walked up to her boyfriend and asked, “Are they your friends?”The man asked, “You guys don’t mind, right?”Before Shannon could say anything, the other female students chimed in and teased, “Of course, we don’t mind.”The party continued.Freyja had been staying by the grill while the two men were having fun with those women in the pool. Those men were getting handsy on those women, and Freyja frowned. She did not know why but had a feeling that Shannon’s boyfriend was up to something no good. It seemed to her that he did not care about Shannon’s coursemates at all. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought two strangers with him.Soon, Leia came up from the pool. Her face was dark, and she walked toward Freyja. “Can you come to the restroom with
Shannon was slightly taken aback. She stared at Freyja and bit her lip.Freyja was profoundly surprised too. After all, she did not remember telling Colton about the venue.‘How does he know that I’m here?’Shannon’s boyfriend took a closer look at Colton. “Who are you?”After saying that, he asked Shannon with a slightly irritated expression. “Is he your friend?”Freyja walked toward Colton. “How did you know that I was here?”Colton glanced at the people behind her indifferently, stretched out his arm, and embraced her. “Why didn’t you tell me you’ve come to this place?”“Oh my God! Is he Freyja’s husband?”“Didn’t Shannon say that Freyja’s husband is an entrepreneur who just started his own business? Those cars that came with him... Their total cost could buy anyone here a villa already, right?”Listening to the whispers around her, Shannon clenched her hands that were hanging by her sides and forced a smile. “Freyja, how great is this now that your husband is here? We welc
Colton leaned back in the chair. “As soon as we bring your father over, this will be your home from now on.”She was flustered and stared at Colton. “You...”“There’s no need to thank me in such a hurry.” Colton stroked the ends of her hair, hugged her in his arms, and pressed his lips against her ear. “After all, I still can’t accept the fact that my wife is being looked down upon out there.”Her eyes turned bloodshot instantly, and her heart trembled and skipped a beat.After everyone got out of the cars, they were surprised again.No one could believe that this was Freyja’s husband’s residence.‘No wonder he didn’t even bother to stay there. This place is so much bigger than Shannon’s boyfriend’s villa.‘There’s even a helipad on the lawn, and a rose garden surrounds the villa. If we walk into its backyard, we might even get lost, won’t we?Colton led them into the rose garden, where more than a dozen servants were still decorating the scene for the party. The long table in
Halfway through the conversation, Colton appeared behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders. “Are you guys badmouthing me?”Someone replied with a smile, “We were just asking Freyja how she met you.”“Really?” Colton narrowed his eyes, looked down at the woman sitting right in front of him, and stated meaningfully, “We studied at the same college. One wouldn’t say that it’s a story of love at first sight, but it’s definitely a story of true love.”Freyja was astonished, feeling something was wrong with his side of the story, so she raised her head. “What are you talking about?”“Isn’t that the case?” Colton leaned over and stared at her. “I wonder who’s the woman who couldn’t get me off her mind, so much so that she traveled to Zlokova looking for me.”Freyja smacked his hand off her shoulders. “Did you inherit that shamelessness?”Her ears were flushed.Colton rubbed her earlobe with his fingertips and sneered. “Are you implying that our father is a shameless man?”Frey
“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
