In the ward…Maisie leaned against the wall and looked at Nolan, who was reading a book with the kids.Daisie mentioned that Helios had come to visit her father a few days ago, and Nolan only responded with a faint smile.Judging from Nolan’s demeanor, which felt the same as back then when he reacted to Daisie’s comment about Helios, Maisie knew that Nolan had regained his memory.The two children still had to go to school, so Nicholas came back to pick them up and told Nolan to rest well.The two children bade their father goodbye and left with Nicholas.Maisie was also about to leave the ward too when Nolan stopped her.She stood still behind the door.Noticing that the figure behind her was approaching, she did not turn around but only withdrew her hand that was already holding onto the doorknob.Nolan hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. “Are you still angry?”Maisie did not say anything.He then pecked her ear with his warm lips. “I won’t lie to y
Maisie got out of the car, stood in the yard, and realized that weeds had been growing all over the flower beds in the courtyard.The door lock had fingerprint access set on it. She stepped into the living room after unlocking the door with her fingerprint. All the furniture was covered with a dustproof cloth, and the walls and chandeliers all looked brand new.Nolan’s phone call came through at this time, and she picked it up. “You seem very free, huh, Mr. Goldmann?”“Where are you?”Maisie opened the French window’s sash. “Take a guess.”Nolan smirked as he stepped into the courtyard. “Do you really want me to guess?”Maisie stood in the backyard, staring at the seascape in the distance. “You’re so smart. You should be able to guess it.”He snorted.Maisie was astonished when she heard the physical footsteps that came through the call, and they were very clear.A silhouette overshadowed her head silently, and a slender, tall figure of a man was reflected in the windowpane.
Katrina laughed along with him.After leaving Eugene, her life had undergone earth-shattering changes, and the difference between the two lifestyles was so great that she found it extremely difficult to accept it.She was unwilling to go back to living the life she had before meeting Eugene. And because she could not appear in front of Eugene and had to hide from the public, the Glitz Club was the only place that would take her in.She knew that Eugene’s wife had divorced him, but she did not expect his ex-wife to be living in the same condominium as her.‘Could it be that Eugene didn’t lose half his assets and properties during the divorce procedures, and the woman agreed to leave him without getting anything from him?‘D*mn it! If the scandal between Eugene and me hadn’t been exposed, and Eugene still didn’t know about the secrets that I had on my cell phone, why would I need to stay here and throw myself at these old and filthy men for a living?‘Those videos ended all possibi
‘Wait a minute… If that’s so…‘Back then, she brought my appointment forward when I had an appointment with Soul Jewelry. She must have already known who I was back then.’In a trance, Katrina thought of the delivery that had come to her door.‘Maisie's assistant left halfway to go to the bathroom, which makes the whole thing seem way strange.’Now that she thought about it, she finally understood that they had always been on the same side!At the Blue Bay villa…Nolan was about to depart for the company. He stopped at the entrance, buttoning his cuff with one hand while asking Maisie to tie his tie for him.Maisie muttered in dissatisfaction, “You deliberately tore my clothes again. Do you really want me to get to work naked?”Nolan wrapped his arms around her waist, looked down at the shirt that she had on, which belonged to him, and rubbed her ears. “You can wear mine, can’t you?”“I’m serious. I have to go out today.” Maisie evaded his body.Seeing that she was in a hurry
It looked more like they were arguing about something.Maisie could not hear what they were arguing about clearly, but the two of them seemed to be moving very vigorously. The woman then pushed the man away and gave him a slap.When the man held her hand and said something, the woman pulled her hand away from his palm and turned her head. She looked as if she was wiping her tears away.The woman turned to face the stone beam in front of the observation deck. Maisie saw her face in an instant, and her hand that was holding the teacup trembled.‘Isn’t that Helios’ mother?’Maisie stopped breathing for a few seconds as she could not believe what she had seen.‘Helios’ mother and a man who doesn’t look like her husband. Who’s that man? The two of them don’t look like they’re on a tryst, but the man just hugged her, and Mrs. Boucher had obviously cried. Judging from all that, all I can say is that the relationship between those two doesn’t look simple.’Realizing that she had been di
Madam Nera was stunned.Only then did the man notice Maisie who was standing beside him. “This is…”“She’s my god-granddaughter, Maisie Vanderbilt.” Madam Nera looked at Maisie and introduced her. “Zee, this is Mr. Tristan Knowles. You can address her as your uncle. He’s my junior.”Maisie nodded at him. “Nice to meet you, Uncle Tristan.”Tristan nodded back.He and Madam Nera went to the side to talk to each other while Maisie stood in front of the car and waited for them. She glanced in the direction of the two of them.‘It seems that Mr. Knowles isn’t from Zlokova, and judging from the way he carries himself and how he dresses, he’s either a rich man or a man of prestigious status. As for his relationship with Mrs. Boucher…’Madam Nera turned to look at her and said, “Zee, you should go back first. You don’t have to wait for me.”Maisie smiled, nodded, and then got into the car with Saydie.At the Boucher manor…Christina passed by Helios’ room and was shocked when she hea
Barbara sat down and ordered a latte. “Did Katrina come looking for you?”Maisie responded with an affirmation. “She’s still in Bassburgh, and it seems that she’s avoided everyone’s sight. She might have come to me because she’s found something.”Barbara smiled. “I’m the one that she’s looking for.”“She’s looking for you?” Maisie paused.Barbara received the coffee from the waiter and took a sip from it. “My father has blocked her number, and the Chases have completely separated themselves from her now. As such, she has no choice but to ask around for my whereabouts.”“And you’re avoiding her on purpose?” Maisie thought of something.‘The Chases were threatened by Katrina back then because of the existence of the video. Now that the video has been erased, the Chases will no longer be led by the nose. It’s only natural for the Chases not to continue to support her financially.‘Katrina is indeed only an illegitimate daughter that brings disgrace to the Chases. What’s more, what
Barbara thought for a moment, then looked away from the crowd in front of her villa. “Okay then, I might have to trouble you for a while.”Maisie took Barbara back to the Goldmann mansion.Mr. Cheshire, the butler, was pruning the plants in the courtyard. He stopped the task on hand and stood up when he saw Maisie’s arrival. “Ma’am, you’ve come back?”Maisie nodded and said to Mr. Cheshire, “This is Barbara Chase, the daughter of the Chases. She’ll be living here for a while, so I might have to trouble you to take care of her needs.”Mr. Cheshire smiled and nodded. “Okay, then I’ll get someone to clean up a guest room now.”Barbara and Maisie stepped into the mansion. She then approached Maisie and asked, “Where are you and Mr. Goldmann currently staying now that you don’t live here?”“We stay in the Blue Bay villa.”Barbara gave off a pregnant smirk. “Wow, you’re indeed living life to the fullest, huh? You actually leave your kids at home and only think about living as a couple
“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
