âI wouldnât have been such a gentleman if you had done this earlier.âAfter saying that, Morrison sealed her lips with a kiss.Leah reached out and hugged him.The temperature of the whole room skyrocketed and did not stop risingâeverything got extremely hot and passionate until their souls fused.At the same time, in CoraliaâŚA tavern located in a homestay in Hohman Town was still operating, and the night market, the quaint streets, and the alleys were all dimly lit. It was already midnight, but the town was still relatively boisterous.Zephir sat alone in the attic and ordered a cocktail. The noise of the guests sitting at the next table created a huge contrast with the silence that came from him.The silence prevailed until the piano in the tavern sounded, and its melody suffused the atmosphere. It was a female singer, she was playing the piano and singing, and her slightly smoky voice sounded melodious.âHello, it's me, your exI called to say not sorry, but I wish you the
Seeing that her cat had run over to someone elseâs balcony and had gotten caught, Ursule gasped, clasped her hands together, and apologized with a pious expression. âIâm very sorry! Kisses mustâve caused you trouble. Iâll take it back from you right away. Um... Can you please hand it over here?âThe balconies were only 5 feet away, so Ursule stretched out her hands, wanting to grab the cat directly from Zephir.Zephir did not say anything, picked up the cat, and handed it over.Ursule took it from him and immediately took it into her embrace. âThank you. Iâm really sorry if itâs caused you any inconvenience.âShe then turned around and patted the cat in her arms. âIf you run around again, Iâll bring you to a vet and get you sterilized!âKisses meowed as if it was protesting.Zephir flicked his sleeves, brushing off the cat hair that had gotten onto his pajamas, turned back, and entered the room.The next day, Zephir went downstairs in his loose silk pajamas as the homestay would
Kisses started eating happily.âUrs, shouldnât you be at school today?ââSomething seems to have come up in my professorâs home, and he asked for a one-day leave.â Ursule looked at Yale. âI only come out here when I donât have any class, donât I?âYale chuckled. âItâs nice to be young.âUrsule only noticed Zephir at this time and was stunned for a few seconds. âHey, arenât you... Oh, youâre the man who stays next door from last night, arenât you?âYale glanced at Zephir. âDo you know each other?ââNo, no, Kisses escaped onto his balcony last night, so perhaps it disturbed him.â Ursule gave off an awkward smile and thought of something. âBy the way, Mr. Quigg, he seems to have been staying here for quite a long time.âYale smiled. âYes, heâs been here for quite some time. My friend came all the way here from Bassburgh on vacation.ââBassburgh?â Ursule sat down on the couch at this moment and asked with a curious expression, âIs Bassburgh fun?âZephir responded indifferently, âI
Because the homestay had a tavern and provided supper, the rest of the waiters would only come to work from 5:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m.The only part-time employee on the premises was Ursule, who would only come to sing for the customers at night, and helped in the homestay when she did not have class during the day. And because she was a young lady, the other employees took special care of her.If her performance were to end very late at night and it was rather inconvenient for her to take a bus, she would be allowed to stay in the homestay for the night.Everyone who lived and worked here would eventually grow familiar with each other as they got along slowly, to the extent that they would grow to cherish each otherâs existence.And Yale would arrange parties, staff meals, gift exchanges, and so on for his employees every holiday.Thus, instead of saying that where they stayed and worked was a homestay, it functioned more like a family that made everyone feel cozy and cherished.
Zephir lifted his head subconsciously, feeling that he had just been overwhelmed by a cat.Ursule bit the straw in her glass and chuckled. âKisses is just being a little over-enthusiastic, so donât mind it, sir.âZephir held the troublesome cat away from his face and frowned. âSir?ââAlthough you look young, youâre about the same age as Mr. Quigg, arenât you?âZephir was at a loss for words.âDid she misunderstand anything about my age?âHe looked down at the cat in his arms and gently stroked its soft fur. âYale is four years older than me.ââOkay, then letâs do some basic Math. Mr. Quigg is four years older than you, so youâre already 30 years old and 11 years older than me, so shouldnât I address you as sir?ââI wasnât even born yet when he was 11 years old.âZephir glanced at her.âSheâs indeed only a young adult.ââMeow!â Kisses pulled at Zephirâs clothes with its paws and even poked its head deeper into his arms.Ursule was so frightened that she took it from him imme
As soon as Morrison said that, Leah made a stunning appearance in a champagne-colored low-necked long gown.Under the misty light, the slowly approaching figure gradually became clearer, with exquisite makeup on and a graceful temperament.Morrisonâs gaze was fixed on her, and his eyes could not help but move with her.âSorry to have kept you guys waiting.â Leah stood in front of them with a smile on her face.Morrison suddenly returned to his senses, cleared his throat, and instantly took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.Leah was caught off guard by his abrupt action.Morrison explained solemnly, âThe air conditioners are on. Iâm afraid that youâll catch a cold.âLeah wanted to take off his jacket. âBut itâs very warm here.ââNo, you must be feeling very cold.â Morrison held her hand, not letting her take the jacket off of her.Waylon and Cameron exchanged gazes and smiled helplessly.âLay.â Benjamin came over and saw Waylon. âOh, Wayne, youâve come too.
Waylon walked up to the ice cream cart, and just when he was about to grab his wallet to pay, a few little kids glared at him. âSir, thereâs a queue here. You canât just jump in.âHe paused for a split second, then leaned over and gazed at those children. âHow about this? Iâll buy each of you one more ice cream, and all you need to do is let me jump in line, okay?âThe children exchanged gazes.âThis seems to be a good deal!âAll of them agreed to Waylonâs suggestion in the end.Waylon bought an ice cream, then bought another for each of them while he was at it. After paying for all the ice creams, he took one out of the bunch and walked toward Cameron.Cameron could not help but chuckle out loud. âYou actually came up with such a method just to cut the queue?âHe handed the ice cream to her. âA problem that can be solved with an ice cream is never a problem to me.âCameron tore the ice cream open and tasted it.When the scorching summer weather was coupled with freezing ice c
Cameron raised her head and bit her fork. âSo, am I the only special one?âWaylon scooped her some soup. âYou also have a gluttonous mouth. Youâll eat anything if no oneâs there to stop.âShe bit her lip and said nothing.Nicholas let off a chuckle. âItâs good for pregnant women to eat more. When your grandmother was pregnant with your father, her appetite was as great as Camâs. She would eat whatever she saw. She even secretly hid snacks from me.âSpeaking of snacks hiding, Cameron felt guilty all of a sudden.Waylon caught the change in her expression and squinted. âAre you telling me that you hid some too?âShe denied it boldly. âNo! Do I look like someone who would hide snacks away? Thatâs absolutely impossible!âEveryone at the dining table laughed.âŚIn the blink of an eye, it was already the beginning of July. During Deedeeâs summer break, Brandon took her to Yaramoor, and Freyja also traveled there to visit Leia and Norman.They had both graduated as well, and Norman
âDaisie.â Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. âYou look so pretty today.ââThank you,â Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. âI propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.âDaisie clinked glasses with her. âSame goes for you and Morrison.âAfter 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. âYou were great earlier today.âShe giggled. âReally?âNolan added, âYouâll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.âDaisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. âDad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisieâs hand.ââConsider yourself lucky.â Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. âYouâd better treat my daughter well from now on.âNollace glanced at Daisie. âDonât worry. Sheâll forever be my one and only.âMaisie 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 carriageâthe 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. Patrickâs 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 Daisieâs hand and smiled suddenly. âYou have sweaty palms.âDaisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, âIâm nervous.âHe lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. âIâm here, so donât be nervous. Just take it easy.âDaisieâs gaze landed on his wedding jacket. âYou look nice in this uniform.âNollace chuckled. âAnd my bride looks stunning too.âArriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
âBy the way, whereâs Cameron?â asked Morrison.Waylon replied, âSheâs accompanying her father on a stroll. Iâm going to go meet them already, so Iâll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.âAfter saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. âHeâs changed now that he has a wife.ââYouâre speaking as if you havenât changed.â Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. âHey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.âMaisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. âMrs. Goldmann.âMaisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. âHave you finished catching up?ââOf course. Didnât you want to go to the Hathawaysâ villa with Dad in the afternoon?âNolan smiled. âI was waiting for you. Weâre just going over to have a meal together.âQuincy walked up to Saydieâs side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. âThen Iâll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my momâs jewelry company and design.âNollace hugged her from behind. âYou can do anything as long as you like it.ââŚThe 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, âGodfather!âStrix 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, âNolly, Iâm really looking forward to our wedding.ââReally?â Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. âIâm looking forward to it too.ââI 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.âHe laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. âYou know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.âDaisie turned her head around. âWhat are your wishes?ââMarry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.âShe was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
âYeah, itâs true,â replied Zephir.âIt seems like youâve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.â Naomi patted his shoulder. âI wish you all the best in your future endeavors.â He smiled at her but did not say anything.âŚSoon, 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. âMommy! Daddy!âShe hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. âYouâre an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.âShe smiled back at them and said, âBut I know Iâll always be your kid in your eyes.âMaisie chuckled and looked at the other people. âIt seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.âFreyja 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. âWhat a coincidence.ââMorrison and I were here earlier than you guys,â said Leah. âWe only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.âDaisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, âThen you should stay a few more days with us.âAfter Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. âSheâs my sister-in-law, Freyja, and sheâs my sister. Her name is Daisie.ââIâve seen them before at your wedding,â said Morrison. âYour sister is my wifeâs classmate. She has told me before.ââSince when did I become your wife? Thereâs a chance I may not marry you in the future,â said Leah.âWeâre already engaged. If you donât want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?â Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, âEngaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?â Leah cleared her throat and replied, âWell, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, â$10 for three chances.ââ$10 for three chances only? Thatâs expensive,â commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, âIâm the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.â Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, âLet'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.âAfter that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, âPlease give us six hoops.âThe 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, âLeave it to me.âShe 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. âWhatâs the matter? You canât sleep?ââYeahâŚâ She buried her head in his chest and said, âI want to go to take a leak, but Iâm a little bit scared.âNollace kissed her forehead and said, âIâll go with you then.âBoth 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, âYou wait for me here.âNollace nodded. âJust shout my name if you need anything.âShe 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 Nollaceâs arm. âAlright, letâs go
