“Could that boy be her brother?” asked Leia.Freyja looked at them and didn’t reply. Mia wheeled the boy next to the table, helped him up, and sat down. She said something to him and went to get the food while he waited there. Freyja could notice something was wrong with the boy’s eyes. “Is he blind?”Norman got up and walked over. Leia whispered, “Hey, what are you doing…”Norman sat across from the boy, who noticed it but thought his sister was back. “What are we having tonight?”Norman sat in front of him and waved his hands, but the boy didn’t react. “You really can’t see.”The boy was curious. “You are?”“Hey, stay away from my brother.” Mia saw Norman when she walked over and immediately looked upset. She slammed the cutlery on the table. “If you want revenge, come to me.”Freyja and Colton quickly got up and walked over. Norman crossed his arms and wasn’t afraid. “I just wanted to say hi to your brother. What are you afraid of anyway? That I would tell him that you’
Freyja looked at her. “But stealing isn’t a great way. Even though you only target people who don’t need it because you think they won’t be worked up with a small amount of money, not everyone who has money will be fine with that.“You should be glad that you targeted someone who wouldn’t mind, but you might not always be lucky. You might get thrown into the lockup for a few days. If someone finds out that you’re a thief, you might be beaten up and humiliated in public. They might even sell you off. Have you thought how your brother would survive without you?”Mia had nothing to say because she had never thought about that. “When is his surgery?”“January 28th.”Freyja felt around her pocket, pulled out a pen, and wrote down the phone number of the villa on Mia’s palm. “Call me in two days, and I’ll give you the address. Come see me then.”Mia froze for a few seconds, then curiously looked at the number in her palm. Freyja took a few steps, stopped, and turned around. “It’s be
Freyja looked at them and said, “Since the nursing home manager could get help from the villagers to help us search for a wallet, it means they respect her. Even Mia, who is stubborn, respects her. I think she must be very well-respected. The villagers probably respect her because she takes in everyone who needs help.”Norman nodded. “That makes her a saintess.”The night fell, and the town was quiet. Freyja rested in front of the window and looked out at the dark forest. The moon was bright and hung over the hills, clear and peaceful.Colton walked over, hugged her from behind, and rested his chin on the top of her head. “What’s on your mind?”She smiled. “About setting up a foundation.”He paused, then chuckled. “As long as you’re happy. I’ll support you no matter what.”She looked up at Colton. “Really?”“That’s the money your grandpa left you. I can’t stop you from using it. Starting a foundation is a great thing. Some people kept their wealth all their life and never got
The nun’s eyes turned red. She could barely suppress her emotions as she said, “Ms. Pruitt… Are you serious?”She had approached other organizations to ask for their investment. However, all of them had turned her down after learning that she did not charge any fees for the old people. The reason they gave was that even though they wanted to do charity, they were not going to do it for free.Ever since then, she had never approached any organization anymore.She did not know how to repay Freyja for making such an offer.Freyja nodded. “Yes. It goes without saying that I’ve already thought it through before proposing the idea to you.”“Ms. Pruitt, I… I don’t know how to repay your kindness,” the nun replied, her eyes filled with tears of emotion.Freyja got up and handed a tissue paper to her. “You don’t have to repay me anything. You've been doing this for a long time, so I'll do what I can to help you.”…The four of them left the town after they had their lunch. After they we
“Alright,” replied Daisie.Seeing how disappointed she was, Nollace landed a kiss at the corner of her lips and said, “Be a good girl. After I've settled all my affairs, I'll be free to keep you company.”Daisie did not say anything.Nollace went downstairs and summoned Madam Ames. “If Daisie wants to go out later, you go with her.”Madam Ames replied, “Yes, sir.”After Nollace left the villa, Madam Ames went into the kitchen. The maids in the kitchen were preparing lunch for Daisie. When they saw her, they greeted her, “Madam Ames.”Madam Ames nodded and said, “Is the lunch ready? I’ll bring it upstairs now.”The maid handed Daisie’s lunch to Madam Ames and went away. Madam Ames glanced at the nutritious meal on the tray and brought it upstairs.She knocked on the door and waited for a while. After getting Daisie’s approval, it was only then she pushed the door and entered the room.Daisie was sitting on a couch next to the window right now. A ray of light diffused through th
In the administrative office…A flashy-looking woman received the text message and hurriedly deleted it. Nobody would have expected that Madam Ames was a mole she placed around Daisie. ‘The royal bride-to-be in the rumor? Well, I can’t wait to meet her anymore.’As soon as Daisie came out of the elevator, a woman came up and stopped her. “You’re the royal bride-to-be, right?”Daisie lifted her head and squinted. She had never seen the woman in front of her before.“Do I know you?”The woman stretched her hand toward her and said, "I'm Cecilia Taylor, His Highness' assistant. My grandfather is an Earl, and my father is a minister in the cabinet.”Just when Daisie wanted to hold her hand, Cecilia retracted her hand and smiled. “I'm sorry for telling you so much. But His Highness is still in a meeting. He's very busy, so I'm afraid he won't have time to entertain you.”Daisie's hand froze midair, but she soon returned to her senses and retracted her hand. With an indifferent face
Nollace massaged his nose and fell silent.When he visited the palace the other day, his father came to him and told him about the cabinet meeting. Then, Cecilia came to the company and became his assistant. He knew that this was all done by the Taylors. The Taylors told everyone that they were loyal to the family by mentioning their many contributions to the royal family. However, in fact, they just wanted to control the royal family. When his grandfather was alive, the Taylors had done something behind everyone's back because they were dissatisfied with Yorrick being made Minister of Finance.At that time, his grandfather kicked a minister close to the Taylors out of the cabinet to tell them to behave themselves. Therefore, the Taylors had been keeping a very low profile since then. Now that his grandfather had passed away and his mother had succeeded the throne, they started to become active again.Not only did they get Cecilia to his side, but they even started to gather u
It was just that Cecilia was more interested in benefits than looks. However, now that Nollace’s mother had succeeded as the queen, it made him the prince, and his son would be the future king.Of course, it could only be his and her son. Cecilia took a sip from the wine and said, “Your Highness, don't you think it's a bit disrespectful to be distracted when you're having dinner with me?”Nollace tapped his finger on the table and said, “Ms. Taylor, I hope you understand one thing. I came here to have dinner with you because you asked me to. I'm just fulfilling your request, and it doesn't mean that I intend to have this meal with you.”The smile on Cecilia’s face froze. However, she was taught to maintain her manners in a situation like this, so she kept smiling and said, "Is it because you're worried about your wife?" Nollace did not say anything.Cecilia crossed her fingers under her chin and smirked. “Your wife is indeed beautiful. She’s the typical beauty from Zlokovia, bu
“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
