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.Morrison’s gaze was fixed on her, and his eyes could not help but move with her.“Sorry to have kept you guys waiting.” 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, “The air conditioners are on. I’m afraid that you’ll catch a cold.”Leah wanted to take off his jacket. “But it’s very warm here.”“No, you must be feeling very cold.” Morrison held her hand, not letting her take the jacket off of her.Waylon and Cameron exchanged gazes and smiled helplessly.“Lay.” Benjamin came over and saw Waylon. “Oh, Wayne, you’ve 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. “Sir, there’s a queue here. You can’t just jump in.”He paused for a split second, then leaned over and gazed at those children. “How about this? I’ll buy each of you one more ice cream, and all you need to do is let me jump in line, okay?”The children exchanged gazes.‘This seems to be a good deal!’All of them agreed to Waylon’s 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. “You actually came up with such a method just to cut the queue?”He handed the ice cream to her. “A problem that can be solved with an ice cream is never a problem to me.”Cameron 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. “So, am I the only special one?”Waylon scooped her some soup. “You also have a gluttonous mouth. You’ll eat anything if no one’s there to stop.”She bit her lip and said nothing.Nicholas let off a chuckle. “It’s good for pregnant women to eat more. When your grandmother was pregnant with your father, her appetite was as great as Cam’s. She would eat whatever she saw. She even secretly hid snacks from me.”Speaking of snacks hiding, Cameron felt guilty all of a sudden.Waylon caught the change in her expression and squinted. “Are you telling me that you hid some too?”She denied it boldly. “No! Do I look like someone who would hide snacks away? That’s absolutely impossible!”Everyone at the dining table laughed.…In the blink of an eye, it was already the beginning of July. During Deedee’s 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
At the Kong Ports…James, who was shooting his next scene in the police station, sneezed three times in a row, and the actor who played the police officer across from him lifted his head. “Are you telling me that you’ve caught a cold during such hot weather?”“I think someone must be badmouthing me behind my back.”The actor teased him. “Maybe someone’s thinking about you.”‘Thinking about me?’James was stunned for a moment and trembled as that woman’s face flashed in his mind.‘This is absolutely impossible.’After the two joked around for a little, the filming officially started, and Ronny shouted, “Action!”The actor who played the police officer immediately got into the role and smacked the notebook on the table. “Still pretending to be innocent? The cup that the deceased used has your fingerprints on it! So are you the one who spiked the drink with sleeping pills? You’d better give me the truth now!”Because James did not expect him to get into the scene so quickly, he b
“Thanks man, you’re so generous.”As soon as she said that, Yvonne saw the sip’s worth of broth in her cup, and the grin on her face faded. She could not help but roll her eyes.‘When he said he’ll pour me some, he did mean it, huh?’Seeing her expression, the actor who played the police officer could not help but laugh out loud and then said meaningfully, “Evie, he might have claimed that the broth comes from his family, but it might not be from his mother.”Yvonne immediately understood what he meant. “Pfft, I see. It’s no wonder he’s being so stingy...”The last sentence was whispered.After James finished drinking the soup, he frowned when he saw that the two were staring at him strangely. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing, everything’s fine. You enjoy your soup, Evie and I will stop bothering you.”The actor and Yvonne exchanged gazes, and the two of them went back to doing what they were up to.On the other side of town…When Giselle returned to the apartment, Estelle came out o
Giselle looked at James. “Isn’t your acting really good? Do your best to hide it then.”“That’s not up to me. Look at how you’re treating me. Is this something a normal couple would go through? I think you’re the one who will get us caught.”Giselle paused for a moment. “Alright, I’ll take note.”James looked at her. “Will you do whatever I tell you to?”“Don’t worry, I’ll play along.”Giselle treated it as a job. She did it well and did her best.James looked at her while deep in thought. When it came to acting, she was more professional about it, but she wasn’t into the character. She only followed the rules, but all the actresses he had worked with were better than her.But it was fine because it would just be for a few years.It was better if she wasn’t into the character because if she developed feelings, it would be tough to get rid of her later on. At 9:30 p.m., Giselle drove James back to the hotel near his filming location. James unbuckled the seatbelt and looked
Everyone online sent their well-wishes, but James’ fans were doing things differently. Not only did they tease that their idol wasn’t the brightest tool in the shed—so having a career-driven girlfriend would be tough on him—but they also claimed he would probably be the submissive one. #Honestly, I kinda want to see him getting whipped by his wife.##Is he being paid to date the woman?##I heard that the Petersons are very rich. He’s punching up.#…A few days after the news got out, neither James nor Giselle responded and seemed to have quietly admitted to it.Many reporters trying to ride the wave went to the Hewston Resort to try and get an interview with Giselle, but she never accepted the request of any of them. Some unethical reporters brought up the rumor that Giselle had tried to break Colton and Freyja apart in the past. That sparked a discussion online, and someone close to the source said that Giselle had chosen Blackgold for her internship because of Colton.Gis
Giselle snapped back and chuckled. “You think you need to teach me that?”“No. So, shouldn't you be more self-aware if you’re acting as my girlfriend?”“What do you mean?”“For example…” James suddenly approached, which made Giselle back away. He smiled. “Help me pack my bags.”Giselle had nothing to say.James squatted next to the luggage and continued packing. “Why are you still standing there? Shouldn’t the girlfriend help?”She was utterly speechless.After his bags were packed, Giselle helped him with one of the bags. She handed it to the assistant when she saw that he was there. “Hold this.” The assistant paused and looked toward James, who was walking over. James squinted. “Ms. Peterson, do you think my bags are too heavy for you?”“We’ll walk out together? Aren’t you afraid—”“The media already knows that we’re in a relationship. There’s no point hiding, so why not just be open about it?” James then walked out with his assistant.Giselle didn’t say anything. Aft
“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
