Peter replied reverently, “Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Boucher.”After that, he turned to the two injured strong men and ordered, “Take this b*tch to the boss of the Glitz Club. Ask him to teach her a good lesson.”“I’m sorry, Mr. Zhivkov. Please, I won’t do it again! Please!” The two men grabbed Katrina up from the floor and pulled her out of the room.After that, Peter brought his men and left the private room.Nolan and Quincy soon appeared outside of the room. His face darkened when he saw the mess in the private room and the frightened Maisie, who was standing in front.He marched toward Maisie in strides and grabbed her into his arms. Securing her tightly in his embrace, he turned his head to look at Yael and said, “Thanks for your help, Uncle Boucher.”Yael dismissed him by waving his hand and said, “Don’t mention it. I hope you won’t forget the things you promised me.”Nolan came out of the Glitz Club with Maisie in his arms. The night wind was strong. He took
This matter had been bugging her for a long while. However, she had put it in the back of her mind, and she only remembered it when she saw Yael. Nolan cupped his hands around her cheek and chuckled. “Stop beating around the bush, Zee.”“No…” Maisie grabbed his wrist. “I saw Mrs. Boucher was meeting with a man. Madam Nera knows the man as well. He’s called Tristan Knowles. Oh yeah…”She suddenly remembered something and added, “Madam Nera said he's here to work with Eastwood Enterprise on an overseas project.”Eastwood Enterprise was Anthony’s company.Nolan put her back on the bed and rose to his feet. As he undid the buttons on his shirt, he said, “Tristan, huh?”Maisie lay on the bed and replied, “Yeah. That’s what Madam Nera told me.”He removed his shirt, exposing his lean body. His belt was undone, and his pants were hanging loosely across his waist.He suddenly scooped Maisie up, and she was stunned. “What are you doing?” Maisie asked.He carried her into the bathroo
Maisie lowered her head slowly.Only now she understood why Mrs. Boucher’s attitude would change drastically after knowing that she was Nolan’s wife when they bumped into each other at the Golden Garden Theater.After all, she was Nolan’s wife. Yael had never once forgotten about Natasha. No wife in this world could tolerate her husband thinking about another woman.It was just that there was something she did not understand. What was going on between Mrs. Boucher and Tristan? ‘Tristan Knowles, Natasha Knowles…’Maisie seemed to have connected the dots and asked, “Your mother’s name is Natasha Knowles… Does this mean that she is…”Nolan fixed his gaze on her face and said in a serious voice, “There are two large families in Yaramoor, the Knowles and the Hathaways. Eleven years ago, Rick Knowles, the eldest grandson of the Knowles, married the princess of Yaramoor, so the Knowles are the relatives of the royal family right now.”Nolan’s face sank slightly when he talked about th
“Tell me, please.” Maisie pressed on as she nudged his arm. He chuckled and replied, “It’s on the 23rd of October.”Maisie blinked her eyes. “Isn't that next month?”She paused for a while before saying, “I haven't spent a winter with you before. Let's go to see the snow at Coralia this winter. It'll snow at the end of October in Coralia, and I know there is a natural ski resort there. Should we bring Colton and Daisie along—”Before she could finish her sentence, Nolan got up to her silently, turned her face, and kissed her lips.He only let go of her reluctantly after a long while. As he caressed the corner of her lips with his finger, he said, “Don't worry. I'll spend the winters with you for the rest of your life from today onward.”She had spent the past three years’ winters in the City of Saint Page of Morwich. The snow was white in the winter, and he hadn't been there with her for 1,095 long, dark nights.He was the same as well.Maisie threw herself into his arms and w
Peter’s wife originated from a wealthy family, and she was the woman that was legally married to the Zhivkovs. A ruthless man like Peter could not vent his anger on his wife, so it was only natural for his mistress to suffer.Barbara picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip from it, but she looked expressionless.Maisie glanced at her. “Do you regret it?”She was stunned for a split second and then stared down at the rich coffee in the cup. “I don’t feel regret. I only feel sad for her.”“I once felt so for two people too.” Maisie picked up the pen on the table and fiddled with it. “I sometimes wonder if they would regret it if they were to know what would happen to them in the end.”Barbara laughed. “Are the two people you mentioned the women who had a thing for Mr. Goldmann?”Maisie accidentally flung the pen out of her hand. She quickly covered it with her palm so that the pen would not fall from the table to the floor.“Must you be so honest?” Maisie felt extremely embarra
The waiter led Nolan into the courtyard. A man was sitting in the corner of the outdoor cafe on the balcony.The man turned his head upon hearing the footsteps of someone walking up the steps, and he looked at Nolan. “Mr. Goldmann actually came to see me, I’m truly honored.”“I’m guessing Uncle Topaz is the one who gave you my contact information.” Nolan pulled out the chair and sat down slowly across from that man.Tristan summoned the waiter. “Fancy something to drink?”He replied indifferently, “Anything will do.”Tristan said to the waiter, “Give us another cup of Blue Mountain.”The waiter nodded.“Anthony is indeed the person who gave me your contact information. No matter what, I’m still your uncle.”“My uncle?” Nolan lifted his gaze and looked expressionless. “The Goldmanns have never admitted to the fact of having you as a relative.”Tristan scoffed. “You’re still blaming us for your mother’s encounter. The Knowles actually treated your mother very well, even though y
Nolan stopped moving forward, turned his head, and looked extremely cold.Tristan picked up the cup of coffee. “What a coincidence, my great-nephew studies in this elementary school too.”…Katrina, who had been hospitalized, could not eat anything. Looking at her swollen and disfigured face, she smashed the mirror on the floor.Maizie walked up to the door of the ward and knocked first.Katrina looked at her. “It’s you? What are you doing here?”Her relationship with Maizie was not very friendly, and she certainly did not want to be friends with Maizie. She had only revealed that Barbara and Mrs. Goldmann were on the same side.“I’ve come to see you.” Maizie stopped by the bed and took a good look at her. “Mr. Zhivkov is such a cruel man.”Katrina trembled slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. “You...”‘How does she know about my relationship with Mr. Zhivkov?’Maizie was not at all surprised by her reaction. “Ms. Zalensky, you’re a woman of no background
Maizie looked disdainful. “You might not even be able to get Helios to take a fancy to you even if you were the one to approach him. I don’t want to go for wool and come back with shorn, so Francisco is the best choice.”‘I’ve tasted defeat when it comes to Helios. He won’t be captivated by women, is as humorless as a monk, and doesn’t know how to be romantic. That’s why I dare not put my hope on Helios. I’ll be left with nothing if I lose again this time around.‘But I’ll still stand a chance if I go for Francisco. I’ve looked into Francisco’s background. Although he was a good-for-nothing playboy, he hasn’t gotten in touch with any of those women ever since he went to the training camp a few years earlier.‘So I must minimize the risk by making Francisco my target. Anyway, he’s one of the young heirs of the Bouchers, so marrying him won’t make much of a difference. I’ll still get what I want at the end of the day.’Katrina opened the drawer abruptly and took her purse out of it.
“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
