It was only then Barbara remembered Helios had said he would be coming to see her tonight. However, she did not expect him to come to her at this hour.‘Doesn’t he think it’s a little bit too late now?’When Helios smelled the food from inside, he frowned. “You’re not eating at this hour again, are you?”Barbara scratched her neck in embarrassment and said, “Well, I’m hungry. Do you want some?”When Helios walked into her house, Barbara wanted to bite her tongue off.‘How could I let a man into my house at this late hour?’Looking at the food and the few cans of beer on the table, Helios asked, “Are you drinking beer?”Barbara came to a sudden stop when she heard what Helios said. She quickly kept the beer cans away and said, “Nope, nope. I'm not going to drink them. I'm just stocking them up.”“Well, this is your house, so if you want to drink a few beers, you can just drink them,” Helios said as he sat on the couch.Barbara was stunned and looked at him in surprise.Barbara
Barbara climbed up feebly and walked to the door in a daze.“Barbara, why didn’t you answer my—” Before Ryleigh could finish her sentence, she saw the scene underneath Barbara’s sleeping gown, and her eyes grew wide.Barbara yawned and said, “I put it on mute and didn't hear your call.”When she noticed that Ryleigh was staring at her collar, she lowered her head and put her hand over it. “What are you looking at?”Ryleigh lifted her finger and asked, “Who did that?”Barbara was momentarily stunned before something popped into her head. She covered her neck subconsciously and slammed the door, shutting Ryleigh outside.Ryleigh smashed the doorbell and shouted, “Barbara, tell me clearly! Are you hiding a man in the house!?”Barbara went to the restroom and stood in front of the mirror. Her cheeks turned red, and she covered her face.It seemed to her that Helios was totally a different person when he was on the bed.At Soul…Maisie was handing tasks to Lucy when she heard Ryle
“After all, the Knowles brought up my mother,“ Nolan replied flatly. He did not like the Knowles, but he couldn’t deny that it was the Knowles that had raised his mother despite the fact they raised her for a purpose.Madam Hathaway frowned and said, “I don’t know much about the Knowles, but from what Yorrick has said, it has something to do with their heir.”“Heir?” Nolan frowned. “I thought the Knowles only had one heir?”Madam Hathaway told him that Elder Master Knowles had two sons, but they were not born from the same mother. The son of his first wife was Sam, and he was Rick's father. After Elder Master Knowles’ first wife passed away, he married another woman who was about the same age as his eldest son and gave birth to Tristan. Therefore, Tristan was 8 years older than his nephew, Rick. Generally speaking, Nollace should be the heir since he was Sam's eldest grandson. However, Tristan’s mother, the second wife of Elder Master Knowles, didn’t want Nollace to lead the Knowl
Nollace scoffed. “If everything needs to be done by the class president, then why do we need a vice class president?”Colton stood up with his arms propped against the desk and was about to refute when a piece of chalk hit the back of his head.Daisie glanced at him with her arms akimbo. “Colton, don’t be lazy. We’re all busy with our tasks.”The other students dared not ask Colton to carry his own weight, but Daisie was different.He clicked his tongue, picked up the ornaments that were lying on the desk, and glared at Nollace. “Alright, alright, I only need to hang the decorations, don’t I?”Lisa, who was helping out beside Daisie, chuckled softly. “Is Colton still feeling a little unreconciled because he lost to Nollace in the class president election?”Before Nollace had been transferred to the school, Colton was the top student in the class, and no one else could go against him in terms of grades.However, after Nollace got transferred to the class, he was dethroned from be
“Nolly, is your arm okay?”Upon seeing that his sister had left him instantly to care about Nollace again, the corners of Colton’s lips twitched.‘I’m just her brother, who’s nowhere near as respectable as that cousin of hers.’Nollace smiled at her. “I’m fine.”She lowered her head and said, “Thank you for saving Colton. Mom once said that a life-saving grace should be repaid with one’s body. You’ve saved Colton, so he should repay you with his body when he grows up.”Nollace was out of words.Colton almost vomited a mouthful of blood and hurriedly grabbed Daisie to cover her mouth. “Are you dumb? I’m a boy, and he’s a boy too. How could I possibly repay him with my body?”She tilted her head and asked, “Can’t a boy do so with other boys?”The two boys replied in unison, “No!”Colton and Nollace looked at each other for a while, and they turned their faces away with a snort.Daisie thought of something and asked, “By the way, aren’t there two people holding the ladder? Why d
Maisie had just sent Saydie to the airport and was watching her leave when she suddenly received a call from Barbara.She answered the call and heard a very loud and noisy voice coming from the other end of the call before she could even speak, and that included Barbara’s voice and a man’s threatening voice.She realized that things were not looking too good, and before she could listen to the conversation more closely, the call was hung up instantly.Maisie tried calling the number again, but the cell phone was no longer in service. She realized something and quickly dialed Quincy’s number.On the other side, Johnny kicked Barbara’s cell phone away from her. The phone hit the wall, the screen shattered, and it was completely shattered.He stepped forward and grabbed Barbara by her hair, forcing her to raise her head and look directly at him. “You actually made a call secretly. Who do you think would come to your rescue, those two women from last time?”Barbara’s face turned pale
Maisie’s eyes were bloodshot, and she picked up the vase on the table and was about to smash it at him.Quincy stepped forward in time to stop her. “Mrs. Goldmnn, he’ll die if this continues.”Maisie scoffed. “Such scums should suffer a long and painful death over and over again.”“You will get in trouble if he dies. You can’t risk that, can you? Leave this person to me, and you can take care of Ms. Chase.” Quincy knew that Maisie had lost her cool. She would have smashed this scumbag to death if he had not stopped her.Maisie finally calmed down a little. She threw the vase down, turned around, and came to Barbara’s side.Barbara had curled herself up on the couch in the torn clothes, her body still trembling out of fear.Maisie draped her coat on her, took her out of the private room, and comforted her softly, “It’s alright, you’re fine now.”Barbara’s legs were weak, and her face still looked pallid. Although she had escaped the incident, there was still a lingering fear deep
Johnny was stunned and did not speak.Maisie looked at her fingernails and said casually, “It seems that it was their mistake for not making you stay in prison for the rest of your life for what happened back then.”Johnny’s expression changed slightly, and he mistook Maisie for the person who had helped Barbara back then. “What happened back then… What happened back then was set up by Katrina. We were just her pawns.”Maisie lifted her gaze and stared at him, giving him an eerie feeling. “I admit, I only wanted to vent my anger. That’s why I went looking for Katrina and asked her to compensate us with some money. After all, that b*tch was the one who got us in prison.“But after that b*tch died, I could only…”She squinted slightly, and her eyes looked sharp. “Katrina died because of money. Could it be that the money was for you?”Johnny faltered. “I-I did ask her for money, but her death has nothing to do with me. I don’t even know why and how she died inexplicably.”“How much
“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
