Daisie realized that Freyja did not seem to like getting to know others or chatting with others.โCould it be because of those rumors? The rumors might be true or false, but itโs not necessarily true because every piece of information came to me through the power of mouth.โAfter all, only the parties who are involved in the incident know it best.โIn this way, Daisie and Freyja stayed under the same roof for a week, and they had not spoken more than ten sentences. Basically, she would only respond to Daisie when she asked her something. And she would not utter any extra words, let alone chat.Daisieโs injury healed, and she returned to class and retook the dance performance test before finally making up for all her scores.She was walking out of the performance hall when she saw a man in a suit in his 20s pestering Freyja.Daisie saw the impatience and resistance on Freyjaโs face.She walked over, stretched out her arm, and grabbed Freyjaโs arm that the man was grasping. โSir,
After returning to her senses, Daisie noticed Freyja standing behind her mirror reflection.She had just finished freshening up and seemed to want to change into her clothes, but there was only one full-length mirror in this dormitory, and Daisie had been occupying it to choose clothes for the date.Daisie felt a little embarrassed and grabbed one of the clothes. โIโve chosen mine. Itโs all yours now.โJust as she was about to go back to her room, Freyja spoke. โI think thatโs a good one.โDaisie was startled and then looked back at Freyja, pointing to the sky blue dress draped over her elbow.Daisie pulled it off her shoulder. โThis one?โShe nodded.โThank you.โ Daisie smiled, rolled up the clothes in her hand, and hurried into her bedroom immediately.At 9:00 a.m., Daisie stood at the gate of the college and waited for Nollace.Many students came back and went out of the college when she was there waiting for more than ten minutes, but Nollace did not appear.Daisie pursed
Before Daisie could react, Freyja bent down and caught her, โDeedee, did you miss me?โThe little girl hugged her and nodded but looked at Daisie shyly. Freyja handed her to the nanny, who took her inside. Daisie snapped back and asked with surprise, โIs thatโฆ your daughter?โShe really had a kid!?Freyja turned to ask, โYou believe those rumors too?โDaisie shook her head. She didnโt, but she was curious who the child was. โThe child is a year old, and if she is Freyjaโs child, and Freyja is about my age, so when she was 16โฆ Not possible!โFreyja crossed her arms. โSheโs the daughter of that man from the other day.โDaisie paused. โThe one who kept harassing you?โFreyja walked into the house. โHeโs my brother.โDaisie stood at the door, then turned. โYour brother, then whyโฆโThe man who kept harassing her was so aggressive. Who would have guessed that they were siblings?Freyja took two bottles of juice out of the fridge and handed one to her. โItโs funny, huh? Weโre
Daisieโs pupils shrank, and her mind went blank. All her struggles stopped immediately. She forgot to breathe, so her face turned red because she was running out of air.Nollace left her lips and stared at her eyes that were welled up with tears. โIโm sorry, Daisie.โDaisie felt annoyed, then a tear fell. โYou think apologizing will solve everything? You liar.โHe wiped her tear away. โI wasnโt planning on leaving you there, but something happenedโฆโHis mother had a tumor in her spine and had to remove it with surgery, or she might become paralyzed.He wanted to explain but realized that Daisie had blocked him.โEven if something happened, you could have called to tell meโฆโShe wiped her tears and turned her face away. โIโm not a petty person, but you let Lisa pick up when I called you. You know how much I hate herโฆโNollaceโs eyes grew cold, and he said, โI didnโt know that you called me.โDaisieโs voice was hoarse. He got up and called the butler while looking stoic. โGet
Nollace looked calm on the surface, but if he started scheming, she wouldnโt stand a chance.Tristan would at least protect her because she had โsavedโ him.Nollace would be nice on the surface because of Tristan, but he probably wouldnโt be nice to her behind his back.โPeter,โ Nollace looked toward the butler, โGive her all the more tiresome tasks. We donโt keep people who donโt contribute here. Get the helpers to keep an eye on her. If she slows down, donโt give her water.โPeter nodded. โYes, sir.โLisa sat down on the floor and ignored the pain on her face. She never had to work at home, but she now had to do everything at the Knowles mansion.She had a lower status than a helper there, which was worse than chasing her out of the house. That wouldnโt workโshe had to find a way to turn things around!The next dayโฆDaisie went downstairs with her bag and was going to the library to return some books. She stopped in her tracks in the corridor because Nollace was standin
Nollace turned to look at Daisie. โWhy?โShe looked down. โI shouldnโt have come empty-handed.โShe should have at least gotten some flowers or a fruit basket.Nollance faced her and saw that she was pouting. He couldn't help but say, โSheโs glad that her future daughter-in-law is visiting.โโDaughter whatโโDaisie paused, then stared straight into his eyes in shock. โDaughter-in-law?โHe raised his brows and didnโt reply. Daisieโs face turned red while she pushed him away. โI never said I was going to marry you!โShe immediately ran away. Nollace watched her run away and couldnโt help but chuckle. Tuesday cameโฆColton was busy writing a paper and didnโt have time to care about anything else.When he got out of the hall, he suddenly heard people talking about Nollace and Daisie dating.โIs that true? Ms. Goldmann and Mr. Knowles are dating?โโI saw them hanging out during the weekend. It must be true.โColton stood behind them. โCould you repeat that?โThey all jumpe
โIโm sorry,โ She shrugged. โI donโt know him very well.โShe had started spending time with Nollace recently. Nollace had been sent to Zlokovia to avoid the attacks from Madam Knowles since he was very young, and she didnโt get to know him at that time. She had only heard of him.Nollace was her cousin, who was just a month older than her. She knew that this cousin of hers wasnโt as simple as he seemed.In the eyes of the grownups, he was young but an all-round talent. He was well versed in everything, such as finance, computers, cybersecurity stocks, the film and television industry, game theory, and even jewelry.The people in the industry once said that given his talent, the Knowles would be able to resurge, and it came true.A few years ago, Tristan would bring him along to all kinds of events. He would calmly face all the questions and challenges.There was endless scheming in the business world. Everyone had ulterior motives, and one would be eaten alive if they didnโt ha
Lisa couldnโt accept the fact that she was inferior to Daisie.She clenched her fists tightly, and an idea surfaced in her head.Holding Rickโs arm, Diana appeared in front of the guests. She was in good shape, and her cheeks were ruddy after her recuperation.Even though she was a princess from Yaramoor who had married into the Knowles, she looked more like a gentle and loving normal woman who took care of her husband and child.She picked up a glass of wine and toasted at the guests.Rick called the servants and switched her wine into a glass of juice. โYouโve just recovered, so you shouldnโt be drinking wine.โShe chuckled and said, โIโm just going to take a sip, so I think itโs fine. Iโm not a kid.โRick collected her hair behind her ears and smiled at her genuinely. โYouโll forever be a kid in my eyes.โThe people in the surrounding laughed and said, โAlthough they have been married for so many years, they look like newlyweds. I'm sure they love each other very much.โ โW
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
