She smiled and tried to get closer to him. “Waylon, didn’t you go out with your sister today?”Waylon coldly looked at her, and when he walked past her, he said in a disgusted tone, “Stop trying. Even if you try to put ideas in Great-grandpa’s head, you will never replace Mommy.”Rowena froze on the spot. She watched the little boy walk upstairs and was a little shocked. Putting aside the fierceness this little five-year-old had in his eyes, how would he know that she was putting ideas in Titus’ head?Her hands that were at her sides curled into fists. They were indeed from that woman’s womb—difficult, just like her!At that moment, she received a text from an unknown number. [Didn’t you say you were going to get me out of the Underground Freeway? I told you everything. When are you going to do what you promised?]Rowena knew immediately that the text was from Willow. Yes, she had forgotten that Willow was a ‘knife’ that she could use!…After Willow escaped with the help of a
Maisie knew that the three rugrats had no reason to lie, and she was fully aware that Rowena was a hypocrite. Since Titus trusted Rowena so much, it would be a piece of cake for her to sow discord between them. Before she could ask anything, Helios and his two assistants appeared outside of the door.Daisie rushed up to Helios and tugged at his hand. “Uncle Helios. Come and meet my mommy!”However, Helios had known about it a long time ago.He offered Daisie a smile and patted her head. He then looked at Maisie and asked, “I've kept you waiting, haven't I?”Maisie responded with a smile and said, “We just arrived not long ago as well.”After they took their seat, Daisie climbed into the seat beside Maisie. Her mother was all hers today, and she would help her brothers to eat their share. “I heard from Waylon that you've been taking care of both of them on the set, Mr. Boucher. I hope they didn't give you too much trouble.”Daisie puffed her cheek out and said, “I didn’t give
Maisie was stunned for a moment upon hearing what Helios had said. However, the scale soon dropped before her eyes, and she realized what he was talking about.Someone was hiding in the dark to take pictures of them.Therefore, she did not turn her head around. She walked to her car with Kennedy, and just as they expected, the scene of them parting ways was captured by the paparazzo in the dark. He looked at the few photos in his camera, licked his lips, and a triumphant smile crawled upon his lips. He was confident that these photos would cause a sensation across the town, and the editor-in-chief would praise him. When Maisie and Kennedy returned to Soul, she suddenly thought of something and said to Kennedy, “Uncle Kennedy, please keep an eye on the news for me these days.”“News? What for?”“Yes. When we parted ways with Helios, he warned me that there were paparazzi around. We were probably caught on camera.”Honestly, Maisie was not worried about what they would write abo
“Ouch, you’re hurting me, Nolan. Can’t you be more gentle!?”“I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful.”Rowena’s face turned dark. ‘How… How shameless of them to do that kind of thing in the office? Maisie, you truly are one seductive evil woman!’Driven by her rage, she pushed the door open, and then she was stunned. Maisie was sitting on the couch while Nolan was squatting in front of her, massaging her foot. Nolan turned his head to look at Rowena sternly and said, “Can't you knock?”Rowena’s expression changed, and she replied stiffly, “I’m sorry. I thought… I thought something happened here.”Maisie’s face turned red in embarrassment. ‘Thank goodness he didn’t do it for too long today. Or else, I might have to find a hole and bury myself in it.’“Even if something happened here, what has it got to do with you?” Nolan asked, his voice cold. “If you don’t have anything else, then get the hell out of here.”Rowena did not expect that Nolan would chase her away again. She bit her
Nolan frowned. He knew that Elder Master Goldmann would show up today. That was the reason he had informed the receptionist to tell Titus that he was not in the office. He did not expect him to come straight up to his office.Titus pushed the door to the office open. When he saw Nolan, he harrumphed. “Hmph! What now? Are you going to cut ties with your grandfather?”Nolan put his legs down, placed his phone on the table, and leaned back slightly. There was no expression on his face as he said, "You know I wouldn't do that." “You wouldn’t do that?” Titus’ face was dark, “You refuse to come home because of that woman, and now you're telling me that you wouldn't dare to do that?”Nolan harrumphed coldly. “If my memories serve me right, you’re the one who chased me out of the house. Since you want me to stay out of your face, what’s the point for me to go back?”“Nolan, you must have been bewitched by that woman. Did you see what that woman did? She took Daisie to meet up with the el
The atmosphere in the office was tense even after Elder Master Goldmann had left. Nolan pulled a packet of cigarettes out of his drawer. It had been a long time since he last smoked, but he did not know why he had an urge to smoke right now. He clasped the cigarette between his lips and lit it up with a lighter.He rose to his feet and walked up to the floor-to-ceiling window. He took a long drag and held the cigarette between his fingers.It went without saying that he hated those people who had killed his mother to the core. However, had it not been for his great-grandfather, his mother wouldn’t have gotten caught up in it.Even if the de Arma family was the main culprit, he knew that Maisie had nothing to do with them.He allowed himself to get drowned in his own memories while the cigarette continued to burn in between his fingers. He tapped ash into the ashtray, and he figured that he should keep this matter a secret from Maisie.…Rowena was splashing herself with cold wate
#I heard that the mother of the two kids is a wh*re, a wh*re who gave birth to the kids out of wedlock, and Mr. Goldmann wants to be with such a woman?##She actually used her kids to approach the best actor in order to surround them with the hype created. Blaargh, get out of Zlokova! You’re not worthy of both Mr. Boucher and Mr. Goldmann!#Maisie’s face turned cold instantly upon reading through the comments that were abusing her children with malicious words in the comment section.Kennedy noticed that something was wrong and said, “Zee, these spiteful comments probably come from some random keyboard warriors that are open for hire online. Take a look at these. They’re all left by anonymous accounts.”“Can you track the IP addresses that these people used?” Maisie’s tone turned low in an instant.Kennedy nodded. “I’ll try my best.”After Kennedy went out, Maisie could not help but clench her hands resting on the desk into fists.‘I’ll definitely find out who’s behind this!’M
‘It must’ve been painful, right?’Maisie was stunned and could not help but feel a sense of irritation in her nasal cavity. She then stood up to hold back her grievances. “I’m not hurt. I only want you to be alright.”“These people are mad. They actually pretended to be Mr. Helios’ fans and did such a thing to children.” Angela knew that those people were not Helios’ fans at all. Although Helios’ fans were notorious for their foul mouths, they had never caused chaos to their idol.‘Where did those people find the courage to pose as someone else and make a fuss here!?’Maisie smiled at her. “Thank you for taking care of them. I’ll take over here.”Angela nodded.Back at the Blue Bay villa…Probably because of the new environment. Waylon and Daisie were delighted, as if the incident that they had just gone through did not leave much impact on them.“Wow, we can see the sea from here!”The beach villa that they had been staying in before this was not located anywhere close to the
“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
