Similarly, Titus was surprised to see Maisie here as well. “Maisie? What’re you doing here?”Titus knew Maisie was alive. After all, they couldn’t find her corpse back then, so that could only mean she was still alive. It was just that he didn’t expect to see her in Stoslo.Maisie calmed herself down and approached them. “Where’s Nolan?”Just when Quincy wanted to say something, Titus’ face sank, and he answered, “Both of you stopped being husband and wife three years ago, so why are you still looking for him?”“If I didn’t come here, how would I know he’s infected with the virus?”Quincy was stunned when he heard what Maisie said.‘How did she learn about it?’Titus frowned and harrumphed coldly. “Isn't it because of you that he got infected with the virus?”Maisie was stumped, and her heart trembled.“Maisie, why do you think Nolan was so hellbent on getting a divorce with you back then?” Titus took a deep breath and said in a stern voice, “He could sacrifice his life for yo
“It’s a new type of virus.” Quincy looked at her and said, “This virus doesn’t have an incubation period, and the onset is more rapid than the virus 30 years ago.”Maisie’s jaw was set tightly. She remained silent for a long time before she opened her mouth and said, “You take care of him.”After that, she turned around and left the room. When she arrived in front of her car, Maisie stopped in her tracks and turned her head to look at the ceiling-to-floor window.In the end, she went back into the car and said, “Let’s go back.”Saydie took a glance at her through the rearview mirror and drove off.A man sitting in the car not far away from them curled his lips upward coldly as he watched the car slowly disappearing into the distance.“Finally found you.”Several days later…Maisie met with Daniel in a restaurant. When Daniel showed up, a grin was tugging at the corner of his lips. “What do you think, Ms. Vanderbilt? Have you finally come to a decision after considering it for a
Daniel spread his hands. “I’ll call my men and get them to withdraw from the villa at this moment if you agree to my proposal, I’m a man of my words.”“You just set me up a few days ago.” Maisie picked up her cell phone and put it back into her handbag, then stood up slowly. “Can I even trust you for a second time?”“You can.” Daniel looked at her. “I only want to get the negative vote, so I’ll let him go this time around for your sake as long as you agree to my term.”Maisie smiled. “Okay, I promise.”Seeing that she agreed, Daniel also took out his cell phone and made a call. “You guys can withdraw from the place now.”He then looked at her. “Are you satisfied now?”Maisie glanced at him meaningfully. “Mr. Kent, I don’t like to suffer a loss when it comes to business. You’ve taken advantage of me this time, and I’ll keep this in mind.”She gave him a faint smile and hurried out of the restaurant with a gloomy face.Saydie stood in front of the car and asked her the second she
Nolan was startled, but a warm smile appeared on his face. “You’re here?”Quincy cleared his throat. “Then I’ll take my leave first.”He walked out of the room and closed the door on his way out.Maisie walked up to Nolan and stood in front of him with an expressionless face. “Nolan, are you planning to hide your infection from me until the day you die?”Nolan raised his gaze and stared at her but did not answer.Maisie leaned over to look at him, and her scarlet lips moved. “If you’re planning to die, please sign the divorce papers before you do so. After all, it will be hard to remarry if I become a widow.”Usually, when the concept of remarriage was mentioned in the past, Nolan would have expressed his jealousy by now. However, he only smiled and looked at her with his gloomy eyes this time. “Have you found your Mr. Right?”Maisie stood up and shrugged. “Not yet. If I have to come up with someone that suits my taste, Helios is not too bad, not to mention that he likes my kids
Wesley’s mind clicked, and he nodded. “I see, no wonder you’ve been wearing a mask.”‘Mr. Henry claimed to the media that Alice is his biological daughter, but she is a brunette and her facial features don’t give off any clue saying that she’s a mixed-blood. It’s only natural for her to be questioned if she hadn’t been wearing a mask.’He then thought of something and stared at them. “Then have you two known each other for a long time?”Maisie shrugged while Nolan smiled bitterly.After five minutes, Wesley sat himself down on the couch, and Quincy poured him a cup of coffee.Nolan turned to look at him. “Wesley, is there an emergency?”Wesley could not even care about taking a sip out of the mug as he had some urgent news to bring up. He forced himself to calm down and replied, “It’s true that this is an emergency. My men heard that Prince Roger had brought the presidential election forward. Those people in the government, except my father and a few of my father’s colleagues, ha
“Nolan Goldmann, I might have promised to stay here with you, but I haven’t forgiven you for what you’ve done.” Maisie pushed his arms away gently, stood up, and looked at him after saying that. “You have to live on first if you want to make it up to me.”Nolan scoffed silently.…Maisie had been staying at the East Island Villa these few days, and she had sent a text message to Saydie so that she would not have to worry about her.She and Nolan both slept in separate rooms throughout those days. Although a certain man would come over to her room and occupy her bed in the middle of the night, nothing happened in between them.The reason Nolan kept his hands off her was that he was worried she would get infected too. Even if she would not get infected, there was no guarantee that the virus would not be passed on to their kids if she were to get pregnant again.Babies were more likely to die from the virus than adults.When Maisie’s mother had been pregnant with her, she had alrea
Nolan was stunned for a short moment, then lowered his eyes and smiled dumbly. “You actually remember.”“You can bet on it that I won’t forget about that, Nolan Goldmann. I won’t forget anything that you said to me before this. You still owe me so much more, so how can I allow you to die?”Maisie stretched out her hand, took out her cell phone, and sent a text message to Saydie. She then said calmly, “Daniel approached me just to make the public think we are on the same side. I’m guessing that the election was pushed forward probably because I showed my support for them.”With that being said, she lifted her cell phone. “I have to put on a full show for them.”Nolan kissed the top of her head and gave off a warm smile. “Then should I play along with you?”…A high-end restaurant with a cozy environment had been reserved, and men in black were standing by on the inside and outside of the premises. The atmosphere was rather solemn.Maisie only brought five people along, and Saydie
“But if everyone learned that you’re Hernandez’s granddaughter, as well Alice of the Metropolis, and even have an intimate relationship with me, do you think they’d let you go?”Maisie looked at him with a neutral expression. “So I have no choice but to work with you?”Daniel shrugged. “You just need to lay low. We’ll take care of everything.”Maisie smiled and raised the wine glass, but there was no joy in her eyes. “Let’s work together then.”Daniel didn’t touch his glass as he seemed to have seen someone. He squinted, and his eyes flashed.Maisie turned around and saw Nolan being pushed in by Quincy in a wheelchair. The bodyguards and Daniel’s bodyguards faced each other, and the air became still as if a battle was about to break out.Maisie stood up immediately and turned to look at Daniel. “You did this intentionally?”Daniel shrugged, his face not showing a hint as to whether this was deliberate or he was oblivious.“Mr. Kent, we haven’t met in three years. I didn’t know
“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
