Now that I think of it, doesn’t Ms. Hills know Ms. Vanderbilt? When you got me to send Ms. Vanderbilt home, she seemed to be staying at the beach villas. Would she happen to know the children?”Quincy was pondering when Nolan got up and walked out. Quincy was surprised but followed along quickly. “Mr. Goldmann, where are you going?On the 16th floor…“Uncle Kennedy, you can start here tomorrow. I’ve notified all the employees that Vaenna has fired.”Maisie was making a call in front of the window and smiled when Kennedy said something in reply. “Alright, don’t worry, I’ve made arrangements.”After the call ended, Maisie held the phone in her hand. When they got there tomorrow, it would be the time to start coming up with a name for the jewelry brand. She turned around and was startled by Nolan, who had suddenly appeared behind her. “Mr. Goldmann, you—”Nolan walked up before Maisie could finish, cornered her against the window, and looked at her face calmly. “Do you have chil
Maisie always thought it had just been a coincidence.‘So the man from six years ago really was him!’ Maisie was starting to lose her cool.That was why when Leila had seen Colton and Daisie, she had asked if they were hers. That was also why Willow kept her at arm’s length, afraid that she would get close to Nolan. Hah, she was not going to let them take her kids! No way!…Willow pushed everything on the table to the floor. Leila walked in on her throwing a fit, so she asked, “Willie, what’s wrong?”“Mom, we need to do something before that woman steals Nolan away.”Leila was not going to let that happen. She walked up to her, nervous. “What actually happened?”Willow told her mother everything about Nolan giving Maisie a jewelry company. After she heard that, her expression changed. “Maisie, that vile woman! She has so many tricks up her sleeves.” Ever since her return, the mother and daughter had never had a day of peace. Now that she had finally left Vaenna, she went
Willow thought her mother was right, but she couldn’t wait for her mother to give birth to a son. The two evil kids were a huge threat to her. She had to find out who they were and get rid of them!At Beach Villa…“Mommy, aren’t you going to eat? Why are you just watching?” Colton asked while biting down on his spoon after noticing that his mother hadn't touched her food but instead was just staring at the three of them.Daisie and Waylon thought that their mother was a little off too!Maisie asked Daisie and Waylon, “Were you in contact with some weird man recently?”“Which weird man?”Maisie looked down, “Nothing. If someone approaches you and asks you anything, ignore them. Good children don’t speak to strangers, alright?”Waylon seemed to have understood who this “weird man” was. He gave Colton and Daisie a look. Daisie sat next to Maisie. “Mommy, we just met Uncle Boucher, no other men.”“Why did you meet him?”“Mommy, don’t be mad. He doesn’t know who our mommy is, a
Nolan’s father, Mr. Goldmann Sr., had started as a fan of Natasha’s, and because of her, he had purchased Royal Crown with a huge sum of money and managed to take her home.It wasn’t just Mr. Goldmann Sr.. Helios’ father had been smitten by her as well, and this was something that everyone talked about for a long time back in the day.“Mr. Goldmann, how nice of you to visit us,” Mr. Mayweather, the director of Royal Crown, greeted him.“Didn’t you sign two children? Where are they?”Mr. Mayweather was stunned but smiled and answered, “The two had been getting endorsement deals ever since they made a name being on the magazine cover with Helios.”Nolan squinted, “Endorsement deals from which company?”Mr. Mayweather answered, “An advertiser under Snowflake.”After finding out where the children were, Nolan went to the advertiser. The two children’s manager, Angela, was with them at the location of the shoot. Helios had introduced her to the children, and since they had their br
Nolan grinned. “No reason, I was just curious.”“Are you interested in our godmother?” Daisie giggled. Nolan’s expression froze.Daisie looked cheeky, her eyes smiling while she tilted her head. “You’re interested in our mommy then?”Nolan paused, looked down, and smiled. “What if I am?”Daisie and Waylon were shocked. “But you have a girlfriend.” Daisie pretended to be sorry. Nolan’s eyes slightly turned dark. “Who told you that?”Daisie answered, “A little birdie told us.”“She… isn’t my girlfriend.” Nolan didn’t know why he was explaining himself to these two children. Waylon frowned. “Why do you spend time with her if she isn’t your girlfriend? Grown-ups would call you a bad person!”Even if he was their father, they wouldn’t just hand their mother over to him.Nolan was rendered speechless.Daisie turned her head. “Waylon, don’t say that about him. He’s not a bad person. He bought us lobsters.”Waylon hummed. “You’re being bought over with lobsters?”His sister
Had he discovered something?No, she couldn’t let Leila and Willow know about the two kids!“Zee, are you alright?” Kennedy was worried, so he came over to check. Maisie turned around and forced a smile. “I’m alright. Give me a few days to decide on the name of the brand. There’s something I need to take care of.”“Alright then.” Kennedy nodded. Maisie bumped into a man who was getting out of the elevator while she was getting in. She looked up and froze. Nolan seemed to be getting in her way on purpose. “Where are you going?”“There’s something I need to take care of. Are you concerned about this too?” Maisie smiled. “Have you watched the news?”“...” Maisie’s smile slightly dropped, but it wasn’t enough for him to notice. “What news?”Nolan passed his phone to her. Maisie looked at the photo of him, Waylon, and Daisie and laughed. “You meant the two children?”Nolan looked tense. She was still highly suspicious of him. Maisie handed the phone back to him. “I’m s
“Why are you so sure that I have kids?”“Because six years ago, you—” Willow stopped there but seemed to have remembered something and started looking guilty. Oh no, if she said that, Maisie would know who the man from six years ago was. “What happened six years ago?” Maisie sat in the car, looking eerily calm. “Nothing. Those kids better not be yours!”Maisie noticed something from Willow’s tone. Her eyes shone. “What? You saw the news and realized that you’re not as safe as you think you were, so you’re trying to do something to the kids?”“If they’re not yours, it’s none of your business.” Willow hung up, and her eyes were cold.She still did not believe that Maisie didn’t have kids. She was the one who had slept with Nolan six years ago! Those two children hadn’t shown up until around the time Maisie returned. That was too much of a coincidence! Since Maisie was concerned about what she was going to do, Willow was going to use those two rascals to spill the secret!She p
“Given Mr. Goldmann’s status, it would be extremely weird if he really did work with Willow to frame you six years ago.”Ryleigh’s words silenced Maisie, and she continued. “Furthermore, if he knew about what happened six years ago, wouldn’t he have known that the three rascals are his children? He wouldn’t need to get a paternity test.”Maisie looked down. “I know what you mean. He probably wouldn’t be interested in working with Willow to frame me, but he’s still Willow’s boyfriend. I’m not interested in anything that’s related to Willow.”The corner of Ryleigh’s lips twitched. Maisie was just being picky!Ryleigh seemed to have remembered something and smiled. “Why don’t you consider my cousin then? Seeing how much he dotes on Waylon and Daisie, I’m sure he’d be happy.”“Haha, you’re dragging your cousin into this?” Helios’ fans would tear her apart if they heard this. Ryleigh laughed, her shoulders shaking. “Do not tell Waylon and the rest about anything that happened today
“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
