“Grandpa, you must know that I love Nolan. Everything that I do, I do for Nolan!”Titus flung her hands off his trousers. “You did everything for Nolan? You actually ignored Nolan’s wellbeing and life, and you still have the guts to say that you’re doing all these for him?”Rowena’s pupils constricted. “No, I really didn’t do that! I admit, and I’m behind Wynona’s death, but what happened to Nolan was all on Stone. I really don’t know anything about that!”Titus did not even look at her crying face. “I wanted to believe in you originally, and I did tell you that I can protect you, but what you’ve done has exceeded my bottom line. Not to mention that Nolan is still my grandson.”Titus looked coldly at her as she said so and knelt on the floor. “You can even do something like committing murder, so what else can’t you do? And how can you make me believe that you’re innocent?”‘Even though what happened that night had nothing to do with her, what she did this time around is not just a
It seemed that Mr. Winters was talking to himself.Maisie’s eyes drooped slightly as she pursed her lips. “Are you feeling better?”“What’s the use of recovering?” Mr. Winters scoffed at himself. “Both my wife and daughter are now gone, so why am I still alive?”Mr. Winters could not accept the reality.In fact, no one should be able to accept this.Maisie’s eyes drooped once again. “You should understand deep down why and how these things happened.”Mr. Winters was startled. He then lowered his head bleakly, feeling a little ashamed. “Yes, I admit, we shouldn’t have been greedy.”He thought of something and continued. “Actually, my wife and I were devastated when we received the news of our daughter’s death. When we went to the training camp to inquire and found out that our daughter had committed suicide, it was really hard for us to keep ourselves calm. The training camp did compensate us, saying that we should stay in the Grand Hotel of Bassburgh and wait for Wynnie’s autops
“Madam Nera, you’re here.” Maisie smiled and stepped forward to welcome her.Madam Nera gave off a kind smile. “I heard that your company is officially open now, so I definitely had to come over to support you.”Maisie approached her and half-squatted so the old lady did not have to look up to talk to her out of courtesy and respect. “Then my business will definitely skyrocket with your support. I’m afraid that all my fellow jewelry company owners in the entire Bassburgh would be jealous of me, wouldn’t they?”Madam Nera smiled brightly. “You, you do know how to praise an old woman.”Maisie pushed her to the VIP room in her wheelchair and poured a cup of tea for her. “Madam, how’s your health recently?”“Don’t worry, it’s more than just fine.” Madam Nera picked up the teacup and blew at the vapor on the surface of the tea. “It’s been quite some time since we last met, I thought you had forgotten about me.”Maisie grinned. “How is that possible? I’ll forget about everyone else fir
Maisie was amused.‘It seems that Nolan is right. Grandfather spared Rowena for the sake of the Summers, but Father wouldn't accept it at all. This action will force Rowena into a corner and remove all possible comebacks that she could’ve had.‘It’s either she lives off the grid for the rest of her life, or she’ll have to go to prison obediently.’In an alley, in an inconspicuous hotel…Rowena, who was hiding in the room, saw the news that the whole city was targeting her as a wanted person, and her face turned terrifyingly gloomy.‘The Goldmanns! Is it necessary to force me back to this point!? F*ck, I was set up by that b*tch and Nolan from the very beginning!‘Heh, since the Goldmanns are treating me so ruthlessly and not showing me any mercy, don’t blame me for what’s about to go their way!’Rowena picked up her cell phone and dialed a foreign number that she had not taken the initiative to call before this.After a while, the man’s scoff came from the other end of the phon
Maisie frowned. “I’m talking about those women!”Nolan chuckled. “Then are you saying that you don’t feel like that?”Maisie was rendered speechless and extremely annoyed. She pulled back the tuft of hair in his hand. “I’m starting to get tired of pouncing on you and would like to change to another man.”Nolan’s face became cold in an instant. “Who do you wish to pounce on then?”Maisie looked at Quincy deliberately.Quincy noticed something in the rearview mirror and was stunned. “Ms-Ms. Vanderbilt, I, I, I’m gay!”Quincy almost wanted to bite off his tongue after saying that.Maisie could not help but burst into laughter.Nolan raised his eyebrows while glancing at her helplessly. “Naughty.”Maisie was tossed around in bed again that night.Seeing that she was so tired that she had fallen asleep, Nolan felt a little angry and helpless. He leaned over and kissed her lips, nose, and forehead.‘She’s my precious wife, and I'll never let her get hurt anymore.’Nolan got up an
“I had dinner with Sir Hernandez that day, and he told me that it was your father who cut his leg and killed his father. I wish to know whether this is true.”‘If Grandfather’s answer supports that fact, then who’s right and who’s wrong when it comes to the grievances between the de Armas and the Goldmanns?’However, to her surprise, Titus seemed exasperated when he heard what she said. “Did that geezer tell you that?”Maisie did not deny it.Titus snorted, and his face became sullen abruptly. “Hernandez is quite capable when it comes to slandering others, huh? My father did use Hernandez to threaten the de Armas back then, but he never touched Hernandez, let alone hurt him. As for how he lost his leg, the Goldmanns have nothing to do with that matter.”Maisie was a little surprised. “So it’s a no?”Titus would not allow others to defame his father. “Nonsense, my father indeed hated the hypocrisy of the royals a lot, but how could it be possible for him to do something to a kid?
Maisie asked softly, “When are you departing?”Nolan stared at her lovingly and whispered, “Tomorrow.”He then lifted his eyebrows slightly. “Do you still plan to cling to me?”Maisie pursed her lips and did not utter a single word, but this reaction looked very enchanting to Nolan, and he gazed at her with an obsessed expression.Holding her waist, he turned over and changed positions with her.“Nolan, you haven’t even told me where you’re going.” Maisie struggled by hitting and kicking him, but her arms were clasped by one of his.The next day…A ray of sunlight seeped into the room through the gap in between the curtains.Maisie was awakened by the beam, turned over, and habitually stretched out her arm to hug the person beside him, but the person was not beside her.She sat up only to find that the space next to her had cooled down long ago.Maisie walked downstairs, and there was breakfast on the table as usual. No one was there, only a note that was pressed under the gl
Cherie was astonished. “Oh, but does Mr. Goldmann know about this?”Maisie dragged the suitcase to the front of the car. “He doesn’t know, that’s why I plan to give him a surprise.”At 11:50 p.m., the flight to Zena took off on time. The flight would take about ten hours, and it was expected to arrive at 10:00 a.m. the next day.When Maisie woke up during the long flight, the sky outside the window was already fully lit, and a thick layer of white cumulus clouds could be seen below the flight.At 10:00 a.m. sharp, the plane had already lowered its altitude and flew over the cities of Stoslo. Looking down, the high-rise buildings that could be seen everywhere looked like Lego models.Those urban streets that were intertwined looked like the veins of the cities.The plane landed on the runway of Zena Airport 30 minutes later.“I’ve been on a plane all night, and my back and legs hurt.” Cherie dragged her luggage and followed Maisie around. It was the first time she had been on a p
“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
