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
James squinted. “The men that you choose are the ones you think are outstanding?”Giselle didn’t reply. He clicked his tongue and shook his head. “It’s not wrong, but more importantly, you should choose someone who loves you. If he doesn’t, he won’t be yours, no matter how outstanding he is. Do you see relationships as a commodity?”Giselle took a deep breath and turned to look at him. “Are you lecturing me?”“I’m just being honest. You’re too self-centered and always do things your way. You like to be in control of everything. I realized this when we signed the contract.“You don’t like blind dates but didn’t want to reject them, so you wanted my help in this and set the rules. I have to pretend to be the perfect boyfriend to meet your parents. You don’t try to pretend that you are my girlfriend, though. People might think you’re pretending to be my boss.”Giselle was annoyed. “You—”“What? Am I wrong? You‘re the one who set all the rules in the agreement. Do you think I’m eas
Giselle asked, “Can I pet it?”Jefferson nodded. “Of course you can. Edamame, come here.”When it heard his voice, Edamame jumped off the couch and walked over to him. He started rubbing its head.Giselle stretched out her hand, and Edamame started sniffing it and accepted her petting. The moment it was touched, Edamame stuck out its tongue and closed its eyes in enjoyment.Jefferson said, “Isn’t this a good baby?”Giselle smiled. “Yes.”James cleared his throat and called Edamame back to him, but it only turned its head to face him and didn’t move.James frowned. “Are you a bad dog now? Come.”Edamame lowered its head and looked sad.Jefferson glared at James, then asked, “Giselle, if you haven’t had dinner, stay and dine with us.”Giselle paused, retracted her hand, and stood up. “I—”“She’s your daughter-in-law, so she’ll naturally stay for dinner, right?” James looked at her. She forced a smile. “I definitely will now that you’ve asked.”Jefferson was delighted and
James pushed the door open. When he saw her holding the photo album in her hand, he hastily went up to stop her. “No! You can’t look at that!”Giselle narrowed her eyes when she saw how nervous he was. “What’s the matter? Are there any other unseemly photos in this album?”“It’s none of your business. My father told you to sleep in my room, but that doesn’t mean you can simply touch the things here!”“Really? What are you gonna do about it if I insist on looking at it then?”James grabbed her wrist when she tried to snatch the photo album out of his hand. “Why do you have to look at my photo album? Could it be that you have a crush on me?”Giselle was rendered speechless.After a short while, James released her wrist and took a step back. He held tightly to the photo album and said, “You can touch whatever you want in this room, but I won’t let you lay a single finger on this photo album.”Just when he turned around, his father came into his room and said matter-of-factly, “It’s
“James?” Giselle called out to James. When he did not respond, she pushed him in an attempt to wake him up but to no avail.He was sleeping like a rock.‘Great. Now I can’t sleep.’That was the first thought that surfaced in her head. Since she could not wake James up, she had no other choice but to stay awake until morning.When the day broke, the light dispersed the room's darkness. James opened his eyes and was struck dumb when he saw the face in front of him.He squinted, and his heart skipped a beat. Slowly, ever slowly, he moved his arm away without waking up Giselle.“Are you aware that your sleeping position is bad?”Giselle had already woken up and was staring at him.James sprang up. He sat at the side of the bed and placed his hand on his forehead. “You can’t blame me. I… I’ve gotten used to sleeping alone.”Giselle got up as well. Since she had been keeping the same posture the whole night, her arm was sore. She stole a glance at James and said, "I'm going to was
Mahina chimed in and said, “That’s right, miss. All of us had been waiting for you outside.”Cameron looked toward Waylon. He raised his hand to collect her hair behind her ears and said, “You’ve done a great job, Cam.”…When Daisie and Nollace heard that Cameron had given birth to twins, they called Waylon and congratulated them.After they hung up the call, Waylon brought Cameron to see their sons in the nursery room.Cameron leaned on the window and looked at the two babies. She couldn't help but laugh. "They look so small. I'm sure they’ll look like you when they grow up.”If they looked like Waylon, they would be very handsome.Waylon chuckled and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. “Do you want to go back and get some rest?”“No. I want to look at them.”“Alright then.”After they had had enough of looking at their babies, both of them returned to her ward. Then, they saw Colton and Freyja in the ward with a lot of nutritious products in their hands. “Did you guys go
“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
