Cameron tried to talk back but had no retort. “He’s right. You just can’t sit around. It would be terrible if you bumped into something.”Cameron had nothing to say. Were they treating her like a child?Waylon carried her back to the garden, where Sunny and Damian were playing chess in the pavilion.Damian looked up and teased, “Where did you go to have to be brought home like this?”Sunny smirked. “You’re pregnant but still act like you’re a wild child. How could we not be worried?”Cameron took a deep breath and looked at Waylon. “Put me down!”After he did, she walked into the pavilion. “Oh, chess. Dad, aren’t you ashamed of your skills?”Damian snorted.Sunny looked up. “You’re upset that I lectured you, so you’re challenging me now?”“Look at the board. How many of your pieces were taken already? Why can’t I call you out for being terrible at this?”Sunny choked. “You—”Damian laughed. “Cam, there’s no need to point out the obvious.”Waylon walked into the pavilion,
The butler smiled and said, “There aren’t a lot of young people who can play chess now. They’re both doing very well.” Sunny nodded. Nick was really outstanding. Sunny had accepted him as a disciple because he saw potential in him. His martial arts skills weren’t too far off from Cameron's either. If Waylon hadn’t shown up, he would have wanted Nick to be his son-in-law. Sunny was absolutely proud because both his son-in-law and disciple were connected to him.Their match turned out to be a stalemate.Damian walked closer. “Oh, both seem to be in good standing, and there’s no way to determine who wins.”Nick looked at Waylon. “That was exceptional. I have no idea what move should come next.”Waylon smiled. “You’re being too modest. There aren’t a lot of people who can stump me.”Cameron crossed her arms. She had to admit that her game was terrible.Mahina walked over and whispered, “I don’t understand what is going on. Who won?”Cameron whispered back, “I don’t know ches
Picking up his cup, Sunny chuckled, “I raised Cam as a son for more than 20 years. She had a fiery temper before I sent her to the military school.”Nick did not say anything.After a long while, Sunny looked at him and continued. “Nick, although you’re my disciple, I’ve long treated you as my son. My wife passed away early, and now Cam is married. I think I’ve already lived my life to the fullest. Now, I’ll just have to wait until death comes and claims me.” Nick’s pupils flickered, and he said, “You are in good health and are still far from the end of your life.”Sunny chuckled. “I still have about 20 to 30 years left, but it'll come sooner or later.”Nick took a sip of tea.“When are you getting yourself a wife, then?”Nick froze for a moment when he heard the question. However, he soon regained his composure and replied, “It isn’t the right time yet. I’ll just go with the flow and wait for the right person to show up.”Sunny drank the tea and said, “You’re right. You don’t
Everyone turned their heads and focused on James. Even James himself was stunned.“Since we're going to surprise him, we decided to put his name at the end of the list. Come, let's give Mr. Tell a round of applause to congratulate him for winning the Best Actor award for his first movie, The Fog!”James rose to his feet in disbelief as everyone applauded. Hannah pushed him and said, "What are you still waiting for? Hurry up!”James's head was blank as he walked onto the stage. After he took over the award, he would give a speech. However, he was silent for a long time and blurted out, "I'm not dreaming, am I?"Everyone in the audience seats chuckled.The host laughed and said, "You're a real actor now, Mr. Tell. Since you can receive this award, it means that everyone has acknowledged you. This isn't a dream.”“I… I don’t know what to say,” said James, his voice thick with disbelief. “I feel like the sun has risen from the west. Even now, I still can't believe I won the award. I
Nobody knew what was going on in the delivery room. Maisie and Nolan were worried about Daisie, while Freyja and Colton were waiting with bated breaths.Nollace was pacing back and forth in the corridor.He knew that labor was a dangerous process. Even though medical technology nowadays was advanced, the women giving birth would suffer more or less.Two hours later, the doctor came out of the delivery room. All of them gathered around him and asked, “How is she now?”The doctor was stunned for a moment, but he soon came around to his senses and asked, “Are you all her family members?”“Yeah.”Nollace hastily pressed on. “How is my wife?”“The baby is too big for vaginal delivery, so we have no other choice but to perform the cesarean section. We need one of you to sign the consent form.” Nollace suddenly grabbed the doctor by his collar. Veins were bulging out of his forehead as he said, “I want to go inside. I want to stay by her side.” The doctor hesitated. Sensing the d
Nollace placed her hand on his lips and chuckled. “Yeah. It took you such a great effort to give birth to them. If they dare to disrespect you in the future, I’ll beat them up.”Daisie laughed. “They’ll be as good-looking and smart as you. I don’t think I can bring myself to beat them.”A week later, the news of Daisie giving birth to triplets swept through Bassburgh. All of her fans were excited and sent their blessings to her. Even Cameron and Waylon also rushed back to Bassburgh to see Daisie.Inside the ward, Cameron looked at the three swaddled babies in the crib. She couldn’t help herself and poked their faces. “I can’t believe you actually gave birth to triplets, Daisie. You’re so awesome.”Daisie let out a bitter smile and said, “It would be even better if one of them was a baby girl like my mom’s case. I bought so many dresses and dolls, but all of them have gone to waste now.”Although she kept saying that she wanted a baby girl, she still adored her three sons very much
If Diana were not the queen, she would have gone to see her daughter-in-law now.Rick, sitting beside her, let out a helpless smile and closed the book. “If you really want to see them so much, you can just make a video call with Nollace.” Diana jerked up and said, “Then what are you still waiting for?” Meanwhile, at Taylorton…Nollace was learning how to change the baby's diaper with the nanny when he suddenly received a phone call from his mother. He stepped aside and picked up the call. "Mom?" “I want to see my daughter-in-law and my grandsons now!” Diana shouted at the top of her lungs, causing Nollace to bring the phone away from his ear to save himself from the shouting.He frowned and answered helplessly, “Alright, alright.”Daisie was in the next room and heard Diana’s voice. She came out and asked, “Is that Mom?”When Diana saw Daisie through the video call, she got up anxiously and said, "Daisie, how can you get out of bed? You just had an operation. You need to re
Daisie brought them upstairs, and the first thing that caught Colton’s attention was the scene of Nollace changing the baby’s diaper.He sneered. “What a rare thing to see.”Freyja mocked him in return, “He looks much more competent than you when you first started picking up this chore.”Colton was at a loss for words.Cameron walked up to the babies with Waylon. Her belly was so big now that she could no longer bend down, so she could only squat halfway down on the side of the bed and hold the baby’s little hand. “It’s so soft, and it’s such a tiny hand. This feels amazing!”Daisie stared at her belly. “Cameron, how many months has it been?”She stroked her belly. “It’s been 22 weeks.”“Brother, how many are you expecting?”Waylon chuckled. “You’re welcome to guess.”Freyja guessed there would be three, and Daisie had the same thought.Colton said, “You ladies are making it sound like conceiving triplets is a normal thing to do. How would there be so many triplets? It’s at m
“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
