Leia turned to look at Freyja. “You can ignore her. She’s used to being surrounded by people, so she’s feeling terrible now that she’s alone. She’ll be alright once she gets over it.”Freyja smiled and nodded. At the same moment, in the Knowles mansion…A car was parked outside. Colton got out with a present and stepped into the garden. Peter walked out of the house. “Are you Mr. Goldmann?”Colton nodded.“This way please.” Peter moved sideways and extended his arm. Colton entered the mansion while Diana and her husband sat in the living room. When they realized that Daisie’s brother was visiting, they made preparations. Peter escorted Colton to the living room when Diana got up with a smile. “You must be Daisie’s brother. Have a seat.”Colton sat down and placed the box of presents on the table. “My mother hasn’t had time to come and visit, so they asked me to come over. This is a little gift I’ve prepared for you.”“We’re really glad you’re here.” She remembered something
“You talk too much.”Colton leaned back into the chair. “If Mom hadn’t told me you were pregnant, I wouldn’t have come.”He then looked toward Nollace. “My mom and dad love her very much. Now that she’s pregnant, if you hurt her, even just a little bit, we’ll have a problem with that.”Nollace smiled. “Don’t worry. If you show a good example, I’ll follow.”Colton had nothing to say.What was this passive-aggressive attitude?Colton stayed for lunch. Ever since Daisie came over, Diana had gotten the cook to change their food to match Daisie’s taste. There was steak, soup, fried food, grilled food, and more. Colton looked at the food on the table and didn’t speak. He could see that the Knowles treated his sister very well. Diana was warm as usual. “Is this alright? Do you want to add something else?”Before Colton could speak, Daisie said, “Mom, he’s fine. My brother isn’t picky.”Colton glared at her. Diana smiled. “That’s a good habit, unlike Nollace. He’s very picky.”
“Will I still be able to carry her when I get home?”Colton pinched her cheek. “You think your baby is going to be too heavy?”Freyja moved his hand away and looked down. “I’m afraid that she might not recognize me anymore. Do you think I’m selfish?”Colton grabbed her hand. “We’ll spend all the time with her when we’re back and watch her grow up.”Freyja smiled and nodded.When they got back, they saw that Brandon and the helper had decorated the home. It became really festive.Brandon looked at them and smiled. “You’re back.”“Dad, what are you doing?”“Well, I’m just doing nothing, so I thought I should try to help out.” Brandon hung the little presents on the Christmas tree. “Your mother hated all these decorations and trinkets, so I never got the chance to put them up.”Freyja beamed.That was true. One Christmas, even though her mother never liked all these, Brandon wanted Ken and her to enjoy it, so he still hung some decorations.After getting home, she would fly int
Nick lifted his eyelids to look at her and turned around. “It has nothing to do with that incident.”He knew that the ‘witches’ were Cameron’s prank. Cameron might be cocky, but she was not evil enough to resort to that kind of trick to destroy his reputation. Even Cameron and those ‘witches’ became other people’s tools against him in the end. Someone had taken advantage of Cameron’s prank, causing that incident to get exposed afterward, and he was labeled as a “playboy.”However, it had been many years, and he had already forgotten about it. Those “grudges” he had against her had vanished as well. When Nick did not hear Cameron’s voice for a long while, he turned his head around to look at her.Cameron had already fallen asleep on the table. She was sleeping so soundly that even the noises around her could not wake her up.Nick looked at her and observed her face. He remembered that when he met the rumored young heir of the Southerns in the East Islands, he felt that she loo
Cameron was stumped and said, “Who do you think can take me away other than you?”Waylon placed an egg on her plate and asked, “What if it really isn’t me?”Cameron pressed her lips thin and said, “Alright, alright. I promise you I won’t drink that much again.”Since she knew that she had done something wrong, Waylon chuckled and said, “I’ll forgive you then. Considering how sincere you are.”While she was peeling the egg, she asked, “While I was drunk last night, I didn’t say anything stupid, did I?”“Well, you did say something,” he replied.She was stunned and jerked her head up. “What did I say?”Waylon did not answer the question. He looked at her and said, “Try and figure it out yourself.”Cameron fell silent and thought for a while. She knew she had said something last night but couldn’t recall it.‘I like you so much, Wayne.’Cameron was stunned and covered her cheek. ‘Oh my gosh. Did I confess to him last night?’Waylon lifted his eyebrows and asked, “Do you remem
Cameron was rendered speechless.She did not know how to refute Chadwick at all, and she was worried that he couldn’t get a girlfriend in the future with his blunt attitude.She squatted in front of Chadwick and looked him in the eyes. “There's no rule that you have to like it or that you can't refuse it. But regardless of whether you like it or not, you have to say thank you for other people's kindness.“Even if you don’t want it, you can tell her that you don’t need it and say thank you for her kind gesture. This is basic courtesy, understand?”Chadwick looked at her for a while and said, “You’re so noisy.”Just when Cameron was about to say something, the girl cried out loud, so she could only leave Chadwick aside to comfort the girl.Nick heard the commotion and came over. He picked the girl up from the floor and asked, “Why are you crying? Do you not like your present?”The girl sobbed and shook her head. There were tears dangling at the corner of her eyes as she sobbed. “H
At the Blackgold Group…The department staff members discussed their evening activities during their free time. When Leonardo was passing by them with a gift box in his hand, one of them asked, “Mr. Prichard, is that a gift from your girlfriend?”Leonardo was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled at them awkwardly and said, “Nope. I don’t have a girlfriend. This is for Mr. Goldmann.”All of them gathered around Leonardo. “What is this? Is this jewelry?”“Is this a gift from Mr. Goldmann to his wife?”“He’s so romantic. How come no one gave me a gift for Christmas?”Honestly, Leonardo did not know what it was. But it should be jewelry judging from the brand.Nobody knew when Waylon was standing behind them. He chuckled and said, “It seems to me that none of you want to leave work early, so how about I give you more work?”“No, no, no, we want to get off work early. We still have dates tonight.”They hurriedly went back to their seats.Leonardo walked up to Waylon and handed th
Waylon came out and asked, “You have never been to a hot spring before?”“We don’t have winter in the East Islands, so of course, we don’t have hot springs there,” Cameron said as she turned her head around. However, when she saw that Waylon had only wrapped a towel around his waist, she quickly jerked her head back to look somewhere else.Waylon walked up to her and hugged her from the back. “Are you not going into the hot spring?”She took a deep breath and said, “Yes, I would like to try the hot spring, but you need to let me go first.”He chuckled and said, “Sure. After all, we have plenty of time.”After he finished speaking, he picked Cameron up from the ground.Cameron quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes. “I warn you! Don’t ever throw me into the hot spring!” Waylon carried her into the hot spring. Water splashed everywhere. Cameron emerged from the water, her long wet hair sticking to her back.She wiped the water off her face and shouted, “Y
“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
