Cameron sipped her tea silently as if it had nothing to do with her, but she could hear the sound of a woman’s heart shattering into smithereens.Waylon answered her question firmly, “I wouldn’t joke about my marriage, so of course, I’m serious this time around.”“But... But you claimed that you wouldn’t get married so soon, and it might even be impossible for you to meet your Mrs. Right too!”‘That was what he said to me before he left.’At that time, Evelyn had confessed to Waylon and courted him, but he had rejected her. Thus, she had asked him about the kind of woman that he was attracted to.He had told her that the woman he would take a fancy to had not appeared yet, and he might never have the chance to meet her.She had fallen for him for so long, and he had always been so dull and slow-witted when it came to romantic affairs and treated every woman around him exactly the same.But at least she had been under the impression that she had a chance because there were very f
Waylon lowered his gaze, and waves of thoughts surged in his mind.Louis poured himself a cup of tea. “That’s normal when humans get old. It’s only natural for their bodies to weaken as time goes by.”Waylon stood up. “I’ll bring Cameron upstairs to meet him.”Louis nodded.When they came to Hernandez’s room and pushed open the door, they saw Hernandez leaning on the bed and reading a newspaper with a band-aid taped on the back of his hand as if he had just finished his IV injection.“Grandfather, Wayne has come to see you.” Louis walked to the bed.Hernandez raised his head and closed the newspaper, and his voice did not sound as strong as it had been before. “Wayne.”Waylon sat by the bed. “Great-grandpa, I’ve brought your great-granddaughter-in-law here to see you.”Hernandez nodded. “I know that each of you three little rascals have settled down and formed your own families. I’m very pleased about the news. However, I don’t think I’ll be able to attend your wedding ceremony
Cameron stopped bothering Waylon anymore.Cameron sat up straight and gave him a shoulder to lean his head against because he was not sleeping soundly.When they arrived at the villa, the driver and the bodyguard were about to wake up Waylon, but Cameron shushed them with a finger to her lips.The driver and bodyguard did not wake Waylon up in the end.Cameron stayed with him in the car, and no one knew how long it took before Waylon finally woke up and saw that Cameron had also fallen asleep with her head tilted.Cameron woke up in a daze just as he was about to touch her. “I thought you were going to sleep until night.”Waylon smiled helplessly. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”Cameron rubbed her sore shoulder. “I didn’t want to disturb you.”Waylon got out of the car first.Waylon abruptly picked Cameron up when she got out and brought her into the house.“Willy, I’ve made you some Eurasian food...” Unexpectedly, Evelyn was there in the villa, and she even used the kitchen to
“Wayne...”Cameron slumped against the wall, clutching his shoulders tightly, while Waylon picked her up. A bead of sweat rolled down from the bridge of her nose and stopped on the tip of her nose.In the middle of the night, Waylon was woken up by a phone call. He grabbed his phone and took a glimpse at the caller ID. It was Evelyn.He frowned and answered the call. “It’s so late already. What’s the matter?”“Willy, save me— Ah, please let me go!” Evelyn cried for help from the other end of the call, and a few other men's voices could be heard from the background.Waylon frowned. “Where are you?”“Boohoohoo, I’m in the 6th Alley. Willy, please come quickly—”The call was then hung up.Cameron woke up at that moment, opened her eyes, and asked in a daze, “Who is it?”Waylon leaned over and kissed her forehead. “It’s Evelyn. She seems to have been caught in the middle of some trouble. I have to get someone to get to her.”After saying that, he called Damon, but no one picked u
“Ms. Woods, do you still want to stay here?” Cameron turned to look at Evelyn, who was frozen in place.“I...” Only then did Evelyn come back to her senses and quickly ran to Waylon’s side. “Willy, I was really scared. Thank you for coming to save me.”Waylon responded indifferently, “The person who saved you is Cameron. She’s the one who you should thank.”Evelyn choked on her own words, then glanced in Cameron’s direction and reluctantly said, “Thank you.”Cameron came up to the two of them. “You’re welcome. As for these b*stards, we’ll just hand them over to the police.”“No!” Evelyn became nervous instantly.‘If they hand them over to the police, I’ll be found out.’Seeing Cameron and Waylon’s suspicious looks, she quickly explained, “I… I mean, they haven’t caused me any harm, and you guys have saved me too, so let’s just forget it. Anyway, they won’t dare to do so again.”Cameron scoffed. “You do you.”She then returned to the car.Waylon was about to leave too, but Eve
Waylon kissed Cameron on the cheek. “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”The next day, Damon came to the villa to look for Waylon.Waylon asked him why he did not answer his phone call last night, and Damon was stunned by his question. “I lost my phone last night.”Waylon raised his gaze and stared at him. “You lost it?”“Yes, Ms. Woods invited me to a bar for a drink last night. And it was rather late when we finished drinking, so I sent her back and found out that my cell phone had gone missing after that.”Waylon took a sip of coffee. “If you’re the one who sent her back, did you make sure that she got home safely?”Damon nodded. “Yes. I left only after seeing her enter the house with my own eyes. What’s wrong?”Waylon put down the cup of coffee and smiled. “She called me last night and told me that she had run into some thugs in the 6th Alley.”Damon was shocked. “How’s that possible? I had already sent her home. Could it be that she went out again last night? And is she okay
The staff member was shocked and asked, “Why isn’t the filming done in Dorywood? We can hire famous actors from Zlokova, like the one that Mr. Boucher did.”Donny shook his head. “This is different. I wanted to shoot in the Kong Ports because it has a very strong vintage look and mysterious vibes. Those are the effects that I’m trying to achieve, and the main focus is on the mystery of the NPC’s suicide and the memories that return to the other characters after they’re no longer drunk.”The crew whispered among each other and seemed to be accepting his idea. Norman crossed his fingers, rested his chin on them, and then smiled. “I think your suggestion is great because the script contains many vintage styles, like the printing press, the hanging calendar in the victim's home, the radio, and so on. If we don’t use it as the background in the scenes, it will lose the mysterious vibes of the story.”After that, he looked toward Freyja. “Ms. Pruitt also hopes that her script will be pe
Freyja leaned in close to the screen. “I should let her remember this face then.”“She can remember it when you’re here.” Colton looked down at Charm. “Right? My baby? Don’t listen to your mom trying to trick us.”She smiled. “Don’t worry. I’ll be there with you in less than a year.”Colton looked at her. “We’ll be here waiting.”“By the way, how’s Deedee?”“She’s good. Ever since she started spending time with Beatrice, she has become much happier and made many friends. She even went to a dance class with Beatrice.”Freyja smiled. “I guess Beatrice plays a big part in her change. I need to bring presents for both of them when I return.”“What about my present?”“I’m your present.”Colton covered Charm’s ears and leaned close to the screen. “Do I get to unwrap you?”“You wish.”After Freyja said that, she ended the call. Colton was left hanging. He looked down at Charm and tapped the tip of her nose. “Your mommy keeps bullying me. I need to teach her a lesson when she retu
“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
