Cameron walked up to Waylon and asked, “Is he your friend?”Waylon turned around to look at her and raised her eyebrows. “What are you thinking?” “Nothing. I’m just asking. Is it something that I shouldn’t ask?”Waylon chuckled and replied, “Did I say you can’t ask about it? He is a friend of mine from Stoslo. He wanted to meet you, so I decided to introduce you guys to each other today.”Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Cameron teased him. “I thought you didn't have any friends.”Waylon laughed and said, “All of my friends are in Stoslo. If you want to meet them, I can introduce you to them when we go back there.”When dinner was ready, the three of them sat in front of the dining table. Morrison was the only outsider here, and he looked like an unwanted third wheel accompanying the couple in front of him.Morrison took a bite of the fish and complimented, “Oh my gosh, this tastes so nice! You really are so lucky to have him as your husband, Cam.”Waylon lifted his ey
An idea popped up in Cameron’s head.After Morrison finished his dinner, Waylon chased him away. Morrison stood in the corridor and scolded Waylon for his heartlessness before leaving in a huff.When Waylon closed the door and turned around, he saw Cameron leaning on the wall and looking slightly disappointed after Morrison had left.He squinted and stopped in front of Cameron. “What’s the matter? It seems to me that you still want to hear more stories about my past.”With a smile on her face, she said, “I just think that you have such a good friend. Maybe I should invite him for a meal one day— Huh!?”Waylon carried her up from the floor and came to the couch. Cameron placed her hands on his chest and asked, “What are you doing?” Waylon bit her lips and said in a husky voice, “Cam, if you want to hear more stories about my past, you can just ask me.”Cameron bit his lips out of rage and said, “If he hadn't mentioned anything, you would not tell me about anything you did in Sto
Zephir frowned. He grabbed her chin and forced her to raise her head. “Who told you that?”Roxy was slightly stunned. She pursed her lips and said, “I guessed it myself. I can see that her concern for you has long gone beyond friendship.”After she finished speaking, she coiled her arms around Zephir’s neck and continued. “Zeph, I know you guys grew up together, but I'm worried that you'll fall in love with her. You'll love me forever, right?”Zephir did not say anything in return.After a long while, he pushed her away, put down the glass, and rose to his feet. “You sleep first. I need to go to the study room for a while.”Roxy’s face sank as she watched Zephir leave the room.She stroked her face, which resembled Daisie. It had taken her about $30,000 to make her face look similar to Daisie’s. It was just that she did not expect she would become Zephir’s girlfriend because of her face.Initially, she thought she could become Zephir’s girlfriend because she had become prettie
Leah pursed her lips tightly.‘Why does he appear and disrupt my determination every time I decide to give up?’Leah still rushed to the coffee shop in the end.She stepped into the coffee shop and looked around, but she did not see Zephir. Just as she was about to call him, she saw Roxy standing up from her seat. “Ms. Younge, over here.”Seeing that it was her, Leah froze slightly.She walked over and stopped at the table. “Why are you here?”Roxy smirked. “Because I’m the one who invited you here.”“It’s you?” Leah’s expression changed slightly.‘Could it be that she’s the one who sent me the text message through Zephir’s cell phone?’“Are you surprised?” Roxy stretched out her hand. “Take a seat, Ms. Younge. There’s something that I want to talk to you about.”Leah sat down with an unchanged expression. “Ms. Van Damme, what do you want to talk about?”Roxy stirred the coffee in her cup. “It’s very straightforward. Of course, it’s about Zephir.”Leah frowned but did not s
“Roxy, get up.” A voice sounded suddenly.Leah’s expression changed slightly. She turned around instantly and saw Zephir approaching them.Just as she was about to explain herself, Zephir passed by her, walked up to Roxy, and helped her up.Roxy shrank into his arms tremblingly. “Zephir, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have asked Ms. Younge out to explain myself. I only did so because I don’t want Ms. Younge to misunderstand.”Zephir took off his coat and wrapped it around her.Leah was so angry that she clenched her hands into fists and gnashed her teeth. “Zephir, what do you mean by that? Are you telling me that you’ve chosen to believe in her words? I didn’t do anything to her at all!”“Leah Younge!” Zephir yelled her name out loud and stared at her expressionlessly. “Who else can do such a thing apart from you?”Leah froze in place, and her heart gradually sank into pure darkness.Her eyes were slightly bloodshot, and her voice sounded hoarse. “So, you’ve chosen to believe in he
Morrison took a closer look at Roxy. “I really didn’t expect to get my horizons broadened by a Zlokovian woman. With such acting skills, it’s a pity that she doesn’t have a career in showbiz.”Roxy avoided his gaze, still pretending to look weak and delicate. “You... What are you talking about? I don’t seem to have offended you elsewhere, do I?”Morrison chuckled. “I just introduced myself, didn’t I? I’m a witness to this incident, so it has nothing to do with whether you’ve offended me or not. After all, you as a victim can lie, but others won’t.”Zephir’s expression slightly dimmed, but he did not utter a word, not even one.Roxy grabbed his hand. “Zephir, you have to believe me. I really didn’t lie.”Leah snorted and didn’t even care to speak up for herself again. She did not want to say anything anymore.Morrison unhurriedly took out his cell phone. “I accidentally recorded a certain scene when I was recording a video upstairs. Are you interested in enjoying it together with
Morrison ignited the engine, stepped on the accelerator, and drove off.Leah watched as the car went away and lowered her eyes.‘In the end, he’s the one who’s helped me again.’At the villa…Roxy hugged Zephir from behind. “I really know that what I did is wrong now. Zephir, please don’t be mad at me. I admit that I did frame her, but I only did so because I want her to stay away from you...”Zephir pushed the person behind him away from him. Roxy lost balance, and her waist hit the corner of the table before she fell to the floor. She covered the part where she felt excruciating pain, and her face was slightly pale. “Zephir?”“Roxy, do you really think that you can do whatever you want and even play tricks under my nose because I dote on you?”She stared right into Zephir’s gloomy eyes, froze for a bit, ignored the pain, and explained, “I... I don’t… Zephir, I know it’s my fault.”Zephir leaned over and grabbed her by the jaw. “Don’t ever approach any of the people around me
Colton might have just gotten to experience the reason why his father wanted to retire at such a young age.“Okay, now that you’re back, I’m finally relieved of my duty.”Colton looked at him. “Waylon, can you help me for a little longer?”“Don’t even think about it.” Waylon refused instantly, without a split second of hesitation.Colton lowered his head and held Charm’s chubby hands. “Charm, look, your uncle is the one who doesn’t allow daddy to have some rest. It’s not that daddy doesn’t want to play with you...”He stared at Charm, who was babbling in his arms and saying something that he could not understand and thought of something. He could not help but narrow his eyes and smirk.The next day, Colton arrived at Blackgold with his daughter in his arms, shocking all the staff.Even when he was reading documents, he had her in one hand and flipped through the documents with the other. And as soon as Charm cried, he would immediately grab the milk bottle to comfort her. When C
“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
