‘So, was I really a jerk?’Seeing that Nicholas was staring at Nolan, Maisie uttered slowly, “Dad, about Nolan, he’s—”Nicholas raised his hand to interrupt her, looked at her, and said, “I am aware of his condition. Don’t worry, I don’t blame you. All these are part of his fate. It’s no big deal as long as he’s still breathing.”Nolan was rendered speechless.‘Am I his biological son, or did he pick me up from some random dumpsite?’When Maisie arrived at the entrance of their room, a silhouette appeared behind her all of a sudden, propped his arm against the wall, and wrapped her in his arms. “Let’s talk.”Maisie was stunned for a short moment and then gave off a bright smile. “What do you want to talk about, Mr. Goldmann?”Nolan asked cautiously, “Did I wrong you before this? Did I cheat on you, or…” The white light on the corridor shone on his attractive face, softening the features of his forehead and the bridge of his nose. He looked much gentler, but his eyes were still
“Yeah.” Maisie closed the newspaper and raised her head. “I’m heading to the company today, so I won’t stay here with you.”“Are you going to work too?”“Otherwise, are you going to pay my bills?” She raised her eyebrows with a smirk, picked up a glass of milk on the table, finished it in one go, and was about to get up.“Are you saying that I can’t afford to pay your bills for you?” Nolan looked at her aggressively.‘Am I so lousy that even my wife has to go out to work now?’Maisie could not help laughing upon hearing this. She walked to his side and leaned over to look at him with her arms propped against the dining table, pretending to be aggrieved. “I went out to work because you said you dislike prodigal women. You also mentioned that you prefer smart and independent women.““D-Did I say that?” Nolan frowned and pondered over that statement for a moment but to no avail.Maisie pressed her fingertips against his lips and said in an enchanting and seductive tone, “Hubby, I’m
Maisie was stunned and seemed to be a little surprised.‘It would still be excusable even if Madam Nera were to decide to terminate the tanzanite supply deal they have with Soul after that incident. After all, the cooperation relationship that I negotiated with Madam Nera was based only on her personal interests. It would be normal if she were to say that she doesn’t believe that others could bring her any new benefits and wanted to terminate her collaboration with Soul Jewelry.‘I didn’t expect Madam Nera to maintain the relationship between our companies, or did Madam Nera always know I would come back someday in the future?’“By the way, does everyone in Bassburgh think that I died in that accident?” Maisie asked suddenly.Kennedy replied, “Mr. Goldmann suppressed the news and prevented it from spreading like wildfire after the accident. Thus, most of the citizens shouldn’t know about your so-called death.”He looked at her upon saying that and suggested, “Zee, since you’re bac
Ryleigh gave her a big hug.Maisie saw Nolan. Before she could come around to her senses, Ryleigh shook her shoulder and complained, “When did you hook up with this b*stard again? Didn't you say you wouldn't forgive him? How could you secretly hook up with him behind my back?”Maisie could see nothing but stars in her vision as Ryleigh shook her. Just when she was about to say something, an arm grabbed her before she fell into a chest. The man behind her secured her tightly in his arms in a protective manner and stared at Ryleigh coldly.Nolan said, “Stop shaking her. Can’t you see that she’s getting dizzy?”Ryleigh was stunned. Although she hadn’t been seeing Nolan for three years, he did not look like this at all in her memory.Crossing her arms in front of her chest, she mumbled, “Hah, drop your act, you liar! I know what you're thinking! You too, Zee. How can you go back to him just because he said something nice to you?”Ryleigh did not know about the whole story, so she tho
Nolan couldn’t remember Maisie, so by right, she shouldn’t be able to affect him. However, that was not the case in reality. From the moment he had seen her, he was drawn to her like a magnet. He wanted to take care of her, love her, and get closer to her.His heart was pounding rapidly, his pulses went out of control, and his body temperature rose gradually. Maisie could even feel the heat of his body through his hand. Maisie returned to her senses and cupped his face. She parted her cherry red lips slightly and asked, “Are you confessing to me?”Nolan squinted his eyes but did not say anything.Maisie wrapped her hand around his waist and pressed her face on his chest. While she listened to his heartbeat, she continued. “Nolan, I'll wait for the day you remember everything, no matter how long it takes. You still owe me a promise, so you have to get your memory back.”Nolan pressed her thin lip tightly as he moved his hand over her hair that draped over her shoulder in a long ca
Nolan had not been handling the company's affairs for the past three years. They had heard that he was suffering from a serious illness and that he needed to recuperate. Since he had returned, did this mean that he had recovered? Nicholas closed the document and said, “Let's adjourn the meeting.”They nodded and went out of the office.Sitting in the leather chair, Nicholas turned around to look at Nolan and asked, “Can I take this as you’re ready to take over the company now?”Nolan leaned on the couch, rested his arm on the edge of the couch, and replied, “I’ve read all the documents, and I’ve memorized everything I need to remember. I think I’m ready.”Nicholas rose to his feet slowly. “Alright, then. I won’t stop you if you insist. However, a lot of things have changed, and the company isn't the same as when you first took over. If you have any questions, you can always ask Quincy.”He had been 16 years old when he took over Blackgold. He had learned how to manage the compan
Ryleigh froze. Her father had been nagging her about her marriage with Louis, and the only reason he was letting her stay in his house was that he thought she had decided to marry Louis.‘Will my father chase me out of the house if I tell him that I want to cancel the marriage?’She turned back to the couch and sat down. Looking at Louis, she said, “But if it’s your family that canceled the marriage, my father wouldn’t force me to marry you.”Louis’s eyes glimmered. “Everyone in Bassburgh knows about the marriage between our families, so do you think it’s that easy to cancel it? Besides, even if we want to cancel the marriage, your family will get the short end of the stick. Do you think your father would allow something like that to happen?”Ryleigh did not know what to say.Just when she was hemming and hawing, Maisie and Larissa came downstairs. When Larissa saw them, she smiled and said, “Ryleigh, what are you guys talking about?”“Aunt Larissa, I—”“We’re talking about our
Nolan’s expression was dark, and he was dumbfounded when he saw Maisie. Just when Maisie was about to say something, he hugged her and buried his head in her shoulder.Maisie froze but allowed him to hug her. She did not know if she was hallucinating or not, but it seemed to her that Nolan was asking for comfort.She asked, “Nolan?”He tightened his arms and said, “Do you think I'm silly? I can't even remember the area assigned within my own company.”Maisie was stunned, and then she chuckled. It occurred to her that this man had forced himself to act as if nothing happened and come back to seek comfort. “It’s your company. Why do you still have to worry about other people laughing at you?”Nolan pushed her away and grabbed her shoulders. He stared fixedly at her and asked, “What if they laugh at me?”Maisie lifted his chin and raised her eyebrows. “Who dares to laugh at my man?”Nolan looked at her silently. Nobody knew what he was thinking right now. Suddenly, Daisie poked
“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
