Daisie didnโt understand why Colton wanted to tag along. It was probably because he was worried. โWhere are we going?โโLetโs go to see a musical.โโMusicals are boring.โ Musicals were a personal preference, and Daisie didnโt like them. Leah tapped her shoulder. โGo with me, please?โDaisie didnโt reject her.Colton suddenly took a look at his phone and said, โYou go ahead. Iโll meet up with you later.โHe hadnโt only left home to follow Daisie around. She would probably be safe with Leah. Daisie wanted to ask something, but Leah held her arm. โDonโt worry, Coleman. Iโll take good care of your sister.โColton left hurriedly.Daisie turned around to look at him and felt he was rushing to meet someone.He walked to the garage alone until a black car slowly rolled up next to him, and the back window was slowly lowered.The man was surprised that he showed up so quickly, but before Colton could speak, he asked, โYouโre the one who wants to meet our young master?โColton smile
Daisie took a sip. โWell, since Colton isnโt here yet, letโs go.โThey both got to the restaurant, and Leah asked the servers for the menu. Daisie sat in her seat with her drink, then Leah turned to her. โDaisie, are you alright with spicy food?โAt the same moment, Nollace, who was walking past on the first floor, heard โDaisieโ, stopped in his tracks, and looked downstairs.Leah walked past Daisie with the menu and blocked her. Nollace stopped there for a while until Edison asked, โWhat is it, sir?โHe looked back with dull eyes and walked away. โNothing.โEdison stopped the car in front of him and got down to open the door for him.Nollace sat in the car while looking out in deep thought. His instincts told him that he had forgotten someone. Someone who seemed to be important to him. He dreamed of a blurry face, a lady, but he couldnโt remember when he woke up.When Colton found out that Daisie and Leah were at the restaurant, he immediately went back and saw them enjoy
โColton, you met Nollace today, right?โ Daisie asked again. That was why he had asked her at the restaurant if she had bumped into someone.Colton took a deep breath and crossed his arms, looking annoyed. โI did go see him. He doesnโt remember us anymore.โDaisie paused, then looked down and was quiet.โDid something happen to Nollace?โShe always thought that heโฆWaylon walked toward her. โDaisie, Nollace no longer remembers you and Colton. We hid it from you because we didnโt want you to be upset.โDaisie kept her head low. โI know.โThey were worried that Daisie would react badly after finding out about Nollace, but she was surprisingly calm.โDaisie, what do you think?โShe was startled. โWhat do you mean?โWaylon calmly said, โAbout Nollace.โWhat Nollace had told her had affected her deeply, as bad as how Lisa had. Daisie was naive and trusting. They were afraid that she would repeat her mistake after finding out about Nollace.Daisie pressed her lips together and
Even though Nollace was young, he was hard to read, even for his father. After two days, the three teenagers looked shocked when they found out that Nollace and Tristan were visiting together.Colton wasnโt happy about it. โHow could that prick be shameless enough to come over?โWaylon quietly looked at Daisie, who had her head hung low, deep in thought.Nicholas placed down his teacup and said, โColton, the Knowles are our guests. Calling him a prick is impolite.โColton crossed his arms. โI just donโt like the Knowles.โNicholas ignored him and looked toward Nolan. โWhen are they coming?โNolan checked his watch. โThey should be here soon.โNicholas nodded. โLetโs get ready then.โColton got up and went upstairs while Waylon stayed there. โGrandpa, I can welcome them with Dad since I havenโt officially met the young heir of the Knowles.โNicholas smiled. โYouโre acting more and more like a big brother.โThe teenager had studied overseas for years and had seen the world wh
Meanwhile, when Colton came downstairs, he saw Tristan, his brother, father, and grandfather sitting in the living room. Nollace was nowhere to be seen. He walked to Waylon and whispered, โWhere is he?โWaylon knew who he was talking about, โThe backyard.โColton paused. โDaisieโs there!โโฆDaisie stayed in the backyard for a while and was putting Goldbar back into its kennel when it suddenly broke free and ran away. โGoldbar!โ Daisie was startled and immediately ran after it. โGoldbar, come back here!โGoldbar ran around the grass like a wild horse that had been set free. Daisie lost her breath after chasing it to a tree and saw it bark at something in the tree.Daisie looked up and saw a stray cat stuck between the branches, staring down at Goldbar fearfully and meowing quietly.Daisie rolled up her sleeves and climbed up the tree with ease.The stray stared at Daisie warily. When she put out her hand to release the trapped paw, the catโs sharp claws shot out and clawed
โWait.โ Nollace turned his head around to call her. There was no emotion in his voice as he said, โSince we don't know each other, I don't think I've offended you before.โHe had no idea why, but he did not like her attitude either.Daisie turned around sideways and looked at his face. โGo back and think about it yourself. After allโฆโShe paused for a few seconds before the words slowly tumbled out of her lips, โI just donโt like you.โWaylon and Colton were worried about Daisie, so they followed her to the backyard. But upon seeing this scene, they knew their worries were uncalled for.Daisie was naive and prone to trust people, but it was only applied to those who were not in a bad relationship with her.There was one thing about her that was similar to their motherโthey would not forget those bad things that other people had done to them.Daisie would never forget those hurtful words Nollace had thrown at her even though he himself did not remember them.She still couldnโt f
Nollace was standing in front of the wall, gazing at a painting. The painting was called "Fallen Angels,โ and it was a gift Violet had given Daisie when she returned from Octavia. She did not know why he was looking at the painting.She did not know what he was doing in front of the painting, but she was not interested to know about it. She pretended she did not see him and walked past him. Suddenly, Nollace opened his mouth and said, โWhat an interesting painting.โShe stopped in her tracks and looked at him in astonishment. She turned to look at the painting again, and honestly, she did not care so much about the symbolism of the painting.She just felt that it was a good painting. However, his words had successfully piqued her curiosity. โWhat else did you see from the painting?โNollace fixed his gaze on the painting and said indifferently, โAt first glance, we only see the world saving the angels who have fallen to earth and lost their wings, but after taking a longer lo
Nollace pulled Coltonโs hand away from him slowly and said, โWhat kind of funny tricks am I going to pull on her?โColton wanted to say something but stopped himself in the end. He said, โJust stay away from her.โAfter that, he turned around and left.โฆThe next day, by the time Daisie and her brothers went downstairs, Nollace and Tristan were having breakfast with Nicholas.Nicholas shook his head and said, โIt's not good to get up so late and keep the guests waiting.โTristan smiled. โItโs fine. It's the holiday season right now, so it's understandable that they want to sleep a little bit longer.โDaisie pulled the chair and sat down. Just when she was going to pick up the piece of sandwich in front of her, Nollace reached out for it as well.Both of them lifted their heads at the same time.Nicholas and Tristan looked at them as well.Seeing that Nollace was not going to back down, Daisie did not back down either. "Hey, I picked up this piece first."โYou didnโt write yo
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
