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
It was not that she did not want to hold her child. It was just that her father and Waylon did not let her hug them. Her father was worried that she might accidentally injure the babies.Freyja chuckled. “Well, I can understand your father. But anyway, you shouldn’t pick up your babies that often during the first three months. Other than feeding them milk or when they’re asking for a hug, just let them stay in their crib and sleep.”Cameron blinked. “It seems like you know a lot. As expected of someone who has already become a mother.”Colton and Freyja stayed for a while before they left. Cameron squatted beside the crib and observed her two kids. She poked their cheeks with her finger gently.‘Oh my gosh, they’re so soft and adorable. They’re just like dolls,’ she thought. “Why didn’t you put on your shoes?” Waylon’s voice erupted behind her.She turned her head around and said, “I just came here to take a look at our babies.”Waylon walked over with her home slippers in his
More and more people started to gather around the fence. Some of them called the police, while others stood forward to help them.Ursule hastily went over to Zephir.Zephir was performing CPR on the man, and he slowly came around to his senses after spurting out a mouthful of water.Ursule let out a sigh of relief.Meanwhile, the police arrived at the scene as well. After they asked the people around for the whole story, they walked up to Zephir and said, “Hi, sir, can you come back with us to the police station? We need to take your statement.”Zephir nodded.At the police station…Ursule was waiting for Zephir in the corridor. When Zephir came out after giving his statement, she walked up to him. “Are you alright? Let’s go back and get your clothes changed.”“Okay,” replied Zephir.After they returned to the homestay, Ursule told Yale that a man had tried to kill himself by jumping into the lake and that Zephir had saved him. After listening to the story, Yale asked, “Why di
Zephir paused and raised his gaze. “Why are you asking me this?”Ursule scratched her cheeks. “You’ve been staying here in this homestay for so long, and you’ve gotten very familiar with all the people who work here. If you were to leave this place abruptly, I think all of them would probably feel reluctant to part with you.”Zephir smiled all of a sudden. “I’ll still come back to visit you guys occasionally.”“Ah... Is that so?” Ursule gave off a dry chuckle.Zephir stared at the cat. “Then Kisses will stay here with me tonight.”Ursule nodded. “Okay, I think I should leave you to yourself for the rest of the night.”She turned around, left the scene, and walked briskly down the stairs.However, she just so happened to run into Yale and was startled. “Mr. Quigg?”Seeing that Kisses was not with her, Yale immediately knew what she had done and could not help but laugh out loud. “Why are you so nervous? It’s only because you don’t want him to leave, isn’t it?”“I’m not!”“Okay
Nick laughed. “Hate is no longer the appropriate word to use.”“Whether you want to come with us now or not, that’s not up to you, Nick. As long as you’re still one of the descendants of the Wickams, you must come back with me!”Arthur had made himself clear. Even if he had to tie his son up and drag him back home, he would never tolerate his refusal at this moment.Dylan and the others became anxious, fearing that those men would forcibly take Nick away.At this time, Sunny walked briskly into the training center with a cane and with Mahina’s support, with one hand behind his waist. “Yo, I was wondering why the training center was so noisy and lively so early in the morning. It turns out that you’ve come, Mr. Wickam.”Arthur looked a little upset. “Mr. Southern, why are you in Bassburgh too?”“Cam is in Bassburgh, so it’s only natural for me to be here too. Today, I’ve decided to come and pay my apprentice a visit. I really didn’t expect that I’d bump right into you.”With a ki
Nick lowered his gaze. “You’ve always treated me with great kindness and think so highly of me. I’ll definitely try my best to live up to your expectations. Otherwise, I, Nick Wickam, will die an ugly death.”He took a step back and knelt on the floor. When he was about to get down to his limbs, Sunny stopped and supported him. “Get up. There’s no need for you to kneel.”Nick looked up at him. “Master.”Sunny helped him up. “You should call me godfather now.”Nick smiled. “Godfather.”“Good.” Sunny nodded with satisfaction and looked at him. “Mahina and I will travel back to Southeast Eurasia with you tomorrow.”“You don’t have to do so. I’ll go back by myself.”“No. If I don’t go there with you, the Wickams’ elders might even one-up you in seniority’s name. You’re my godson now, so I must be there to support you.”Dylan and the others laughed loudly, feeling happy for their boss.A few days later, in the Wickams' residence back in Southeast Eurasia…Martha was talking with s
Amelia’s natal family was too powerful and aggressive, preventing Arthur from holding his head high in front of others. That was why he remarried a year after Amelia’s death and even endured all the scolding that the Winslets threw at him for being an ungrateful husband. That was until Cooper forced him to let Nick inherit the Wickam as a whole, and the more the Winslets persecuted him, the more unwilling he was to compromise.‘All I wanted was to prove to Cooper that even without his family’s help and Nick, the Wickams would still thrive.‘But Noel has really messed up big time this time around. Why would I go to Nick if it weren't for him?’Martha jerked his arm. “Then, did Nick agree to the plan? He’s also your son, so no matter what, he won’t refuse to help, right? Anyway, just get Nick to bring Noel back.”“Did he agree?” Arthur shunned her away and rebuked angrily, “If you had managed to educate Noel properly, would he have gone out there and brought home such a hot potato?”
Cooper was not very happy about the idea.Sunny smiled. “Who told you that we should trade Noel’s leg with Nick’s? Rather than letting Python break Noel’s leg, why not let Nick do it himself?”Cooper was taken aback. “Nick will do it himself?”Sunny leaned forward and suggested earnestly, “Travis’ leg is broken, but he’s safe. Not to mention that he will still be able to get out of bed and walk after half a year of recuperation. I heard that Python is a cruel man, but he only captured Noel to force the Wickams into compromising. So, what’s in it for them if they delay their plan in making a move on Noel?”Cooper was stunned. “Are you saying that Python has other plans?”Sunny drank his tea from the teacup. “Python is the leader of a local mafia in Madripur. All the businesses that he’s involved in are illegal and of unknown origin. Moreover, their goods usually travel by sea and will have to pass through the Wickams’ territory. Besides, Travis Brown isn’t in any danger.“However,
“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
