Eugene looked at the document on the desk, and there were some dried blood stains on the paper. Samantha had signed her name, but he had not signed yet. He crumpled the divorce paper into a ball and hissed. โYou want to get a divorce with me, Samantha? No way! I wonโt allow it. If you leave me, youโll be left with nothingโฆโAt the hospitalโฆColton was peeling an apple for Maisie. There was a disappointed expression etched on his face as he said, โI canโt believe how you can get yourself into the hospital while youโre an adult.โMaisie was enjoying the apple fed by her son with a grin of satisfaction on her face. She decided to forgive him for dissing her as she replied, โI didnโt get myself into the hospital. Itโs your dad who wants me to stay in the hospital.โโMommy, the parentsโ meeting is next week. Are you sure youโre going to come with Daddy?โMaisie was stunned. She met Coltonโs doubtful gaze and asked, โWhy not?โHe shrugged. โWell, everyone in the class says that my mo
โThat man sold me out!?โMrs. Hannigan was stunned. โZee, what have you done?โNathaniel shouted at her, โYour good daughter hired a man to pretend to be a drunk driver to run over someone. Is she tired of living, or does she want to go to jail?โMrs. Hannigan was stunned when she heard what Nathaniel said. She looked at Maizie and found it hard to believe that her daughter would do something like that.โMy daughter hired a man to be a drunk driver and run over someone? How is that possible?โMaizie squeezed tears out of her eyes and explained, โNo, Dad. I didnโt do that. Someone framed meโโโFramed you?โ Nathaniel interrupted, cutting her short. He pointed at her and growled, โAre you saying that Mr. Goldmann is framing you? That man is in the police station right now, and he has confessed everything. He said that youโre the one who hired him, and Mr. Goldmann wants me to give him a reasonable solution. I'm sure you know what's going on in our family, right? And you still want t
Soon, a staff member from the front desk brought him a spare laptop. After Nolan sent him out, he opened up the laptop and searched for the same thing on Google. As he expected, he was able to get a lot more information from other laptops!He clicked into one of the search results with the title โIs Mr. Goldmann's wife dead?โ and sucked in a sharp breath. He looked at the word โaccident,โ and he did not know if he should click into it or not.When Quincy passed by the front desk, a receptionist told him that Nolan had asked for a laptop from them. The staff member seemed puzzled as he asked, โIsn't there a computer in Mr. Goldmann's office?โQuincy suddenly remembered something and rushed back to Nolanโs office. He pushed the door open. โMr. Goldmann!โHowever, there was no one in the office, and the laptop on the desk remained open.Quincy walked up to the laptop, and his heart skipped a beat. It seemed to him that Nolan had not given up on investigating everything that had happe
โThe hatred between Barbara and Katrina has nothing to do with Ryleigh and me, but she still dragged Ryleigh and me along. It doesnโt make sense if she only wanted to talk to me about the things that happened between her and Katrina.โNo, she might not want to drag Ryleigh along at all. She only brought her along just so that Iโd tag along as Iโm close to Ryleigh. Barbara only revealed her secrets to me after Ryleigh left the other day, which means that she doesnโt want Ryleigh to know.โBarbara looked at Maisie for a while, then lowered her eyes and chuckled. โI know youโre a smart one.โShe then confessed, โIndeed, I want to suppress Katrina through Mrs. Boucher, so I deliberately leaked some gossip to Mrs. Boucher and went to the auction venue just because I wanted to confirm it with my own eyes.โMaisieโs eyes moved. โYou helped me with that incident related to Mr. Ludwig, and you told me about you and Katrina deliberately too. You actually knew long ago that I wouldnโt be able
Unexpectedly, Quincy suddenly called her and asked her if Nolan had gone to the hospital to visit her.Maisie wondered for a split second and replied, โI havenโt seen him today, and Iโve been discharged from the hospital. Whatโs wrong?โQuincy hesitated for a moment. โMr. Goldmann looked into what happened three years ago all of a sudden earlier today, and heโs been out since then. He hasnโt returned to the company.โMaisie stood by the window, frowning slightly. โNolan investigated what happened three years ago?โโYes, regarding the accident, I donโt know whether Mr. Goldmann has recalled something and thatโs why he looked into the accident from three years ago. Heโs been away from Blackgold for one whole afternoon already. So I thought heโs currently with you.โMaisie remained silent for a long time without uttering a single word.Maisie called Nolan several times, but no one answered. He did not return even at nightfall.Quincy also sent men to the places where Nolan usually
After facing the wet and humid sea breeze, Nolanโs body did not feel as warm as it used to be, and even his complexion looked a little cold.Nolan wrapped his arms around her body, pressed her against his chest, and rested his chin on her shoulder. โZee, do you love me?โMaisie was astonished, then held his cool, freezing cheeks with her palms and stared at him. โWhy would you ask about this all of a sudden?โHe held her hand and stared affectionately at her. โI want to hear it from you.โMaisie chuckled as her eyes narrowed into two curved lines. She then moved closer to his lips and pecked them gently. โAre you satisfied with my answer?โNolan pinched her chin with his fingers, and the strong aura wrapped her whole body up abruptly, especially around her lips.He kissed her deeply, which captivated her. Minutes had passed by when he finally let her go. The emotions in her eyes rippled underneath the layer of fog that blurred out her gaze, making it look even more mysterious and
Quincy said something beside Nicholas, and he looked slightly relieved the moment he saw Nolan. โMr. Goldmann, youโฆ Youโre finally back.โNicholas snorted. โHeโs no longer a 3-year-old boy. Do you expect him to lose his way?โMaisie lowered her head and could not help but laugh. She then walked up to Nicholas. โDad, Noles is fine, so donโt worry.โNicholas glared at Nolan. He had heard something from Quincy and suggested to Maisie earnestly, โDo you plan to tell him what happened to him three years ago?โMaisie smiled. โIโve already told him everything.โNicholas was caught off guard for a split second, then looked at Nolan and said nothing.Nolan stopped beside Maisie. โFather, no matter what happened between Zee and me three years ago, Iโll face it together with her.โNicholas was silent for a moment before standing up. โSince youโve decided to face it head-on, I donโt have to worry about you being troubled by those matters already. Itโs time to make it public.โโEven if his
Maisie put on a smile when Katrina got closer. โMs. Zalensky, hello, Iโm Alice, Soul Jewelryโs designer.โShe flipped through the book after introducing herself. โI see that youโre here to customize a pair of couple rings. It just so happened that I needed to design a pair of rings, so I asked them to bring your appointment forward. Do you have anything that you need to do at the moment?โKatrina took a look at her. โItโs okay. I have time.โโGlad to hear that.โ Maisie turned sideways. โPlease come with me.โAfter walking into the VIP reception room, Maisie asked Katrina to take a seat first, walked to the side to look for some samples, and asked casually, โDo you have a specific design that you have in mind, and is it a wedding ring or a coupleโs ring?โKatrina put her handbag aside and answered calmly, โWedding ring.โโI see.โ Maisieโs eyes moved. She took out a sample drawing, walked to the table, sat down, and placed the designs in front of her. โThese are all the wedding rin
โDaisie.โ Leah and Morrison walked up to her with wine glasses. โYou look so pretty today.โโThank you,โ Daisie said with a smile.Leah lifted her wine glass. โI propose a toast. Morrison and I wish you a happy marriage.โDaisie clinked glasses with her. โSame goes for you and Morrison.โAfter 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. โYou were great earlier today.โShe giggled. โReally?โNolan added, โYouโll forever be our dazzling pride, so yes.โDaisie grinned as if she was still the little princess of the family.Nollace came over. โDad, Mom, a toast to the both of you. Thank you for letting me have Daisieโs hand.โโConsider yourself lucky.โ Nolan snorted softly, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with him. โYouโd better treat my daughter well from now on.โNollace glanced at Daisie. โDonโt worry. Sheโll forever be my one and only.โMaisie 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 carriageโthe 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. Patrickโs 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 Daisieโs hand and smiled suddenly. โYou have sweaty palms.โDaisie looked back at him and responded with a trembling voice, โIโm nervous.โHe lifted her hand and kissed the back of her hand. โIโm here, so donโt be nervous. Just take it easy.โDaisieโs gaze landed on his wedding jacket. โYou look nice in this uniform.โNollace chuckled. โAnd my bride looks stunning too.โArriving at the cathedral, Nollace was separated from Daisie. Accompanied b
โBy the way, whereโs Cameron?โ asked Morrison.Waylon replied, โSheโs accompanying her father on a stroll. Iโm going to go meet them already, so Iโll leave you to yourselves for now. You can do whatever you want with your free time.โAfter saying that, he got up and left the couple.Morrison shook his head. โHeโs changed now that he has a wife.โโYouโre speaking as if you havenโt changed.โ Leah got up instantly and left the restaurant.Morrison put his cup down and caught up to her immediately. โHey, why would you leave me behind? Wait for me.โMaisie and Saydie came out of the private room and ran into Nolan and Quincy in the corridor.Quincy nodded. โMrs. Goldmann.โMaisie stopped in front of Nolan, and Nolan grabbed her by her hand. โHave you finished catching up?โโOf course. Didnโt you want to go to the Hathawaysโ villa with Dad in the afternoon?โNolan smiled. โI was waiting for you. Weโre just going over to have a meal together.โQuincy walked up to Saydieโs side and
Daisie grinned from ear to ear. โThen Iโll wear this crown on my wedding day, which can be considered an endorsement for my momโs jewelry company and design.โNollace hugged her from behind. โYou can do anything as long as you like it.โโฆThe 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, โGodfather!โStrix 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, โNolly, Iโm really looking forward to our wedding.โโReally?โ Nollace gently dried the soft tips of her hair. โIโm looking forward to it too.โโI 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.โHe laughed out loud and leaned down to her ear. โYou know what? All the wishes in my life have come true as well.โDaisie turned her head around. โWhat are your wishes?โโMarry you, give you a wedding, and have our own kids.โShe was stunned. Slowly, her face turned red due to her embarrassme
โYeah, itโs true,โ replied Zephir.โIt seems like youโve finally become more mature after coming back from your vacation.โ Naomi patted his shoulder. โI wish you all the best in your future endeavors.โ He smiled at her but did not say anything.โฆSoon, 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. โMommy! Daddy!โShe hugged both of them.Nolan petted her head and smiled helplessly. โYouโre an adult now. You should stop acting like a kid.โShe smiled back at them and said, โBut I know Iโll always be your kid in your eyes.โMaisie chuckled and looked at the other people. โIt seems like you guys had a lot of fun. Anyway, come in first. We should eat together tonight.โFreyja 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. โWhat a coincidence.โโMorrison and I were here earlier than you guys,โ said Leah. โWe only found out that you guys were here when Daisie posted a photo on her Facebook page.โDaisie pulled Leah to the seat and said, โThen you should stay a few more days with us.โAfter Morrison took his seat, Waylon introduced him to Freyja and Daisie. โSheโs my sister-in-law, Freyja, and sheโs my sister. Her name is Daisie.โโIโve seen them before at your wedding,โ said Morrison. โYour sister is my wifeโs classmate. She has told me before.โโSince when did I become your wife? Thereโs a chance I may not marry you in the future,โ said Leah.โWeโre already engaged. If you donโt want to marry me, who else are you going to marry?โ Morrison frowned, causing the crowd to break out in a burst of laughter, save for Daisie.She looked at Leah in disbelief and asked, โEngaged? When did you get engaged, Leah?โ Leah cleared her throat and replied, โWell, I forgot to inform you abo
The stall owner said, โ$10 for three chances.โโ$10 for three chances only? Thatโs expensive,โ commented Freyja.The stall owner raised his head and said, โIโm the cheapest around here. Other stalls offer $15 for three chances.โ Daisie tugged at Freyja and said, โLet'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.โAfter that, she gave $20 to the stall owner and said, โPlease give us six hoops.โThe 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, โLeave it to me.โShe 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. โWhatโs the matter? You canโt sleep?โโYeahโฆโ She buried her head in his chest and said, โI want to go to take a leak, but Iโm a little bit scared.โNollace kissed her forehead and said, โIโll go with you then.โBoth 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, โYou wait for me here.โNollace nodded. โJust shout my name if you need anything.โShe 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 Nollaceโs arm. โAlright, letโs go
