If Colton blamed Daisie for being the obstacle in his journey to get a girlfriend, she would be in big trouble.Daisie smiled but did not say anything.After leaving the ward, she came to the first-floor lobby by elevator.There was a nurse pushing a wheelchair in the crowd, and the young man sitting in the wheelchair was none other than Ayan. He looked a lot thinner than the last time she saw her. He had a gaunt face, his body looked emaciated, and there was no light in his eyes. Gone was the energetic Ayan. When Daisie's gaze fell on his right empty pant leg, she was stunned.The nurse pushed him past her, but Ayan did not notice her. Daisie stopped in her tracks. She turned her head around to look at the figure that was entering the elevator and sank into deep thoughts. Colton was waiting for her outside of the entrance. She pulled the door and went into the car. โColton, do you know what happened to Ayan?โColton frowned. โWhy do you care about him? He had it coming.โโ
Ean pressed his lips into a thin line and did not say anything back in return.โEan, there's no turning back since we started seeing each other behind his back. Both of us know what he is capable of. Anyone can become his tool. If we continue to work for him, it'll only be a matter of time before he discards both of us.โShe put her finger on his lips and continued. โBesides, can you tolerate it if he's going to offer the woman you love the most to that brutal man?โEan took a deep breath to calm himself down. After a short while, he released her and turned around to walk to the door. He stopped in front of the door and said without turning his head. โIโll try my best to stop it.โMaggie watched as he left the room.Ean came to the parking lot. He had been very alert and instantly sensed something. He spun around, but he was still a step slower.Holding him at gunpoint, Edison said, โMy master wishes to see you.โEan looked toward the car that was parked not far away, and his fa
Brandonโs pupils constricted as he did not expect such words would come out of her mouth.โPlease go back. I want to rest.โ She pulled the cover and lay down with her back facing the door. When she heard the door close, a tear dropped from the corner of her eyes. She could vaguely remember that when she was a child, her father would let her ride on his shoulders as both of them walked down the paths of the fields at dusk.It was not that her father was bad. It was just that her father was weak-willed and listened to everything her mother said. Her mother was a strong woman, while her father was weak, and this was the ultimate reason for their estranged relationship.When she heard that someone was coming in, she thought her father hadnโt left yet. โDidnโt I tell you to leave me alone?โโWho came here just now?โFreyja was stunned. She turned her head around to see Colton standing at the door. She got up from her bed, and her sadness melted from her face. โNope, no one. By the wa
Daisie did not say anything.Nollace approached her and pressed his lips against her forehead. โThatโs because I wonโt reject anything that you give me.โHer cheeks warmed up all of a sudden, and she pushed him away and got into the car on her own. โBring me to the hospital!โNollace laughed out loud.Daisie pushed the door of the ward open, and Freyja closed the lid of her laptop, raised her head, and looked at the two who came in. โYouโre quite diligent in coming to the hospital to visit me.โDaisie saw her bag that she placed on the counter and looked around. โWhereโs Colton?โFreyja put the laptop aside. โHeโs left after delivering my stuff.โโI wanted to ask him to stay with you, lest your unscrupulous family members came and caused you any more trouble.โShe knew Sandy had been discharged from the hospital, and she was afraid Sandy would come here to settle the score because of the matter. She would not be as worried if Colton were to be here.Freyja was astonished for a
Someone knocked on the door, and Ean walked into the study. โSir, are you looking for me?โโI asked you to find the traitor. Have you looked into it or not?โ Ken glared at him with his gloomy eyes.Ean lowered his head and seemed to have an idea of how he should respond. โSir, Iโve already checked it out, but I havenโt been able to confirm my investigation just yet.โโWhy the f*ck would it take you so long to confirm something!โ Ken swept all the documents off the table, walked up to Ean, and grabbed the front of his shirt. โWho is it?โEan clenched the hands that were resting on his sides and replied, โItโs Mr. Matthewsโs men. He and Nollace have already joined forces, and they know you planned to use Mr. Reeseโs death to frame him.โThe veins on the back of Kenโs hand bulged. โWhy would Nollace have evidence of the cause of Jonah Reeseโs death? I remember asking you to eradicate every piece of evidence related to his death.โHe glared at Ean and lowered his voice. โDid you betr
The man replied, โAbout 9:00 a.m.โOn the other side of the town, in the precinctโฆThe two officers who had the night shift brought Ean into an interrogation room, and Nollace was already in the room.Ean was handcuffed, walked up to the seat across Nollace, and sat down. โPerhaps, what you said is right.โNollace glanced at him while tapping on the table with his knuckles. โYou should thank the officers for arriving at the scene in time. Otherwise, youโd be a corpse by now.โTheir deal that night was that Ean would become a witness of the case, and he would keep Maggie safe. Ean was an accomplice as he had eradicated the evidence of Ken killing Mr. Reese for Ken. Hence, in order to avoid being wanted by the police, Ken would definitely get Ean to be his scapegoat.Nollace bet on the fact that Ken would rather trust his own judgment than trust Ean to take the fall for him willingly.If he wanted to be safe and sound, Ean must disappear from this world. As long as Ean was dead, t
Laraโs scalp hurt, looking at the exasperated face and the bloodshot eyes in front of her. โYou killed my father, and youโre planning to get away with this? I canโt let you succeed, Ken Pruitt. Someone like you should go to hell!โโIf Iโm going to hell, what about you?โ Ken approached her with a hint of contempt. โYouโre the one who caused the Reeses to fall to where they are today. Do you really think Nollace would help you willingly? Heโs just using you. Donโt forget, if I hadnโt disfigured you, you wouldโve already fallen into Donaldโs hands and wished you had died.โLara spat at him.Ken turned his face away, his cheeks bulged, and then he slapped her with a backhand.Her body tilted, and blood could be seen oozing out of the corner of her mouth. But she laughed hysterically. โAt least I get to see your true colors. Even if I were to fall into Donaldโs hands, I still think that itโd be better than staying by your side.โKen grabbed her by the chin and wanted to say something w
If Ken was not greedy and could stop Lara from making a move on Daisie in time, the Reeses would not have fallen.When a person made a choice, they should think carefully about the consequences they had to bear. Even if he chose to use Lara to obtain the huge inheritance left behind by Jonah, it would be more than enough for him to use the money to help the Reeses make a comeback.But Ken was unwilling to accept his fate and insisted on killing Jonah, wanting to start a war between Nollace and Donald. He even delusionally wanted to make a move on Daisie.โThe feeling of tasting your own medicine is not very satisfying, isnโt it?โ Nollace lifted his gaze, and his face looked calm. โIf you hadnโt chosen to escape with Ms. Reese, perhaps you would still have had a chance.โKen laughed out loud but restrained his expression in a blink of an eye. โIโve always wanted to get rid of this shameful identity of mine all my life. Iโm also the third generation of the royal family, however, just
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
