Louis was momentarily stunned. He then nodded and grabbed Ryleighโs hand. โOkay, weโll travel to Stoslo to visit Grandpa in the short future.โRyleigh approached him and asked in a low voice, โIs your grandfather fierce?โLouis smiled and put on his serious look in an instant. โHeโll definitely give you h*ll if youโre a disobedient girl.โโTsk! How dare you scare your own wife?โ Larissa clicked her tongue and comforted Ryleigh after saying that. โDonโt worry. His grandfather wonโt give you any h*ll. Louis would be the one to suffer his wrath even if something were to go terribly wrong.โRyleigh smiled and nodded.โฆIt was already very late in the night when Xyla returned home from the hospital. She went back to her room, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling.The scene in which Yorrick kissed her flashed across her mind as if it was a roll film.โHeโs really good at kissing, so good that I still canโt get my mind off it.โTsk, heโs definitely a player.โShe sat up irritab
Yorrick nodded, โAlright, letโs have a few drinks at night.โโฆXyla had a night scene and ended the shooting around 11:30 p.m. She was exhausted because that was the first time she felt that movies werenโt as relaxed as series. Mindy sent her home, and once she drove off, Xylaโs phone started ringing. She was curious who was calling her so late and when she took a look, it wasโฆ Yorrick?Hadnโt he blocked her?She picked up. โWhat can I do for you so late at night, Mr. Hathaway?โHe said something that Xyla didnโt hear and thought something had happened to him. โHello!โโIs that Ms. Mayweather?โ The bodyguard picked up, โIโm sorry for bothering you so late. Where are you? Mr. Hathaway is drunk and wonโt leave. The bar is closing, and Iโm out of ideas. Could you come to help us, please?โXyla pushed her hair out of her face and chuckled. โHeโs drunk, and I need to help him?โThe bodyguard was out of ideas. โMr. Hathaway insisted on calling you. Iโm sure heโll leave if you come
Yorrick sat up and put the back of his hand to his forehead, then leaned back on the seat. When they got to the hotel, Xyla helped him into the room. Just when she was going to put him to bed, he pulled her down with his body weight, and she fell on him.Her lips grazed his nose, and she froze. His warm alcoholic breath blew onto her cheek, and she beamed at the man who was under her with his eyes closed. She tried to get up, but an arm pulled her back into his arms. She was stunned, and her heart skipped a beat.Yorrick slowly opened his eyes and smiled drunkenly, โIโm drunk.โโWhatโฆ What does getting drunk have anything to do with me?โ Xyla tried to get up again, but he held her tight with his arm, and she locked eyes with him.Yorrick looked drunk, but he might not be. โXyla, Iโm troubled by you sometimes.โXyla was startled. โWhat? Troubled?Yorrick cupped her cheek and smiled. His alcoholic breath got in her face. โYes, troubled by you because youโre everywhere. I donโt
Xyla smiled meekly, but there was no joy in her eyes, โIโm 29, almost 30. Isnโt that normal?โShe got into the van.Mindy brought a glass of warm water and watched her drink it, โXy, I donโt think you should be doing any one-night stuff. Your reputation would be ruined if the paparazzi caught you.โXyla put the glass down and smiled. โI wouldnโt do too badly if it was with a high-class tycoon.โMindyโs face dropped. โฆXyla hadnโt met Yorrick for a week. Her final scene was today, and she would say goodbye to the crew after that.She walked to the car with the flowers from the crew in her arms. Mindy was opening the door for her when she saw a man waiting inside. She was surprised.Xyla immediately blocked her face with the bouquet and looked at Mindy, โWhy is heโ Ah!โXyla was pulled into the car and into his arms. Yorrick motioned at Mindy to close the door. After a brief moment, Mindy closed the door.Xyla lowered her head and played with the petals, โHow can I help you,
Ryleigh waved to them and walked toward Louis after they left. โAre you waiting for me?โLouis looked at her. โWho else would I be waiting for.โ He raised his hand and played with her ponytail. She was smiling widely. โI guess the performance went well.โRyleigh turned away and was proud for a moment, โThereโs nothing that I canโt handle.โLouis pinched her cheek and chuckled. โWhat do you want for dinner?โRyleigh took his arm. โI want some roasted chicken, lemon duck, roasted beef, andโโโWhy are they all meat?โโIโm craving meat!โ Her expression was fierce.Louis looked at her and glanced at her belly. โOh, do you think youโreโฆโShe paused. โWhat?โLouis pressed his palm to her belly with a smile. โWhat do you think?โRyleigh slapped his hand away. โNo way!โHe chuckled and pulled her into his arms. โBarbara is pregnant now, so we canโt be too far behind, right?โShe choked, then mumbled, โThatโs not what I alone can doโฆโLouis kissed her cheek. โAre you trying to say t
Mindy looked at her. Xyla was in sportswear and seemed to be practicing her dance moves. Her neck was covered in sweat, and she had a high ponytail on with a bandana, sweat dripping down the side of her brows.โWhatโs going on?โ Xyla curiously looked at Mindy, who was standing at the door, and suddenly froze because of the man who showed up next to Mindy. The door was blocked. Xyla looked at Mindy, who looked down. โIโm sorry Xy, Iโฆ You take care.โShe escaped! Before Xyla could say anything, Yorrick pushed her inward and closed the door.โYorrick, this is my home. I might just report you for trespassing!โ Xyla pushed him, and he took two steps backward. Unexpectedly, he pulled her into his arms, turned around, and pressed her against the door. โDo it.โHe put a finger to her lips and smiled. โI want to report you too.โShe gulped. โFor what?โYorrick approached. โMs. Mayweather didnโt pay me for s*x.โ He grabbed her chin and raised her head. โLetโs go to the station and se
Xyla leaned backward flirtatiously. Yorrick had never seen this side of her before. Then, he heard her saying, โIf I become your woman, will I be the only one? Or I have to fight with other women and wait for you to summon me like what the emperor in ancient times would do?โYorrick pressed his tongue against the back of his teeth and chuckled. โYou want to be the only one?โShe clicked her tongue and collected her hair at the back. โI donโt like to share my belongings with other people.โHe repeated, โDo you want to do it?โ She turned her face sideways. โNo, I donโt want to.โThe smile on Yorrickโs face slowly faded away. He looked at her for a while before rising to his feet. He loosened his tie and asked again, โAre you sure about that?โโYes, Iโm sure about that. Iโll still give you the same answer no matter how many times you ask me,โ Xyla replied defiantly.โAlright.โ He gazed at her deeply and said, โYouโll come to look for me.โAfter that, he opened the door and left.
โThank you!โ the woman replied happily.Naomi followed after the woman. When the woman turned her body around, a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.After half an hour later, Ryleigh finally got the coffee. However, when she came back, Naomi was nowhere to be found.She looked around, and then she put the coffee down. She pulled her phone out and made a call to Naomi. However, Naomi did not pick up her call. She called her again, and this time, it showed that her phone had been switched off. Ryleigh looked at her phone and fell into contemplation. She wondered why Naomi would switch off her phone. โItโs impossible that Naomi would go away without telling me anything. Could it be that something has happened to her?โWhen the thought surfaced in her mind, she took the coffee and went to look for Naomi. Ryleigh ran from level two to the restroom on level three, but she still couldnโt find Naomi. She tried to call her several times, yet her phone was still switched off.
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
