The spiky-haired friend was shocked. โWhat!?โBut Colton had already walked away. In the evening, at the Hilton VillasโฆA car parked outside the gates, and Nollace leaned on it while checking his watch. Footsteps approached, and when he looked up, Daisie jumped in front of him with a big smile. โHave you been waiting for a long time?โShe had her dark curly hair up in a high ponytail and picked a black sleeveless A-line dress with a clutch with a chain. She wore white flats and looked lively and adorable. Nollace put out his hand to grab her waist. โYou dressed up.โDaisie looked down and whispered, โI have to leave a good impression when I visit your home.โHe chuckled. โYouโve been there before.โโIt was just that once. It was different.โ That was during his motherโs party, and there were a lot of people there. This was for dinner, so how would it be the same?The car arrived at the Knowles mansion, and Daisie walked behind Nollace into the living room.His father and T
There were two seats there. Nobody was around, but there was cutlery, and the food was untouched. One of the chairs had a laptop bag on them.It was to stop people from sitting there.She walked over and placed down her tray of food. โWho is this?โAfter saying that, someone approached her and placed a drink in front of her.She looked up, and it was Colton. He moved his bag back to his seat and sat down, then picked up his cutlery and started cutting the steak on his plate.Freyja looked around, and there werenโt any other seats around. โIs someone sitting here?โHe slowly chewed and didnโt look up. โNo.โโSo youโre taking up two seats?โโI donโt like to eat with strangers.โFreyja didnโt know what to say.Colton looked up calmly at her. โIs there a problem?โโNo.โ She smiled and picked up her food, โIโll leave you to it then.โShe turned and was about to leave when Colton stopped her. โWait.โBefore she could react, he calmly said, โTake a seat. I have questions for yo
Daisie finished dinner and walked around the mansion. Upon recalling something, she asked the helpers the direction to Nollaceโs room and walked toward it.She opened the door and saw that the lights were on, but he was nowhere to be seen.His room was spacious and had a greyscale tone and nordic style. There was a partition with carvings that separated the room and the study. The study was neat and tidy, and there werenโt any items on the book racks other than books.Daisie wanted to sneakily look around, but suddenly a figure approached and leaned close to her ear. โWhat are you looking at?โDaisie jumped and turned around. The tip of her nose brushed across his cheek, but he was still bending low. He raised his brows. โDo you like my room?โโIโฆ I was just looking around.โShe looked away and mumbled, โIโve never seen it.โShe didnโt expect him to suddenly pop up out of nowhere. Nollace chuckled. โAre you still jealous that Lisa had entered my room before?โBefore she could
Nollace looked at his phone and couldnโt help but chuckle. Edison raised his head and saw Nollace smiling at his phone. He could more or less guess what Nollace was smiling at as he asked, โIs it Ms. Daisie?โ โOf course itโs her.โAfter all, she was the only one who had the guts to spam him with text messages.Someone knocked on the door, and Nollace placed down his phone. โCome in.โ The secretary pushed the door open and came inside. He handed a blue invitation letter to him with both hands and said, โYoung Mr. Knowles, this is an invitation letter from the royal family.โNollace looked at the invitation letter with the emblem of the royal family. He took it over, and it was an invitation to a banquet at the palace. โฆAfter Freyja and Daisie went separate ways in the afternoon, Freyja returned to her dormitory. When she arrived at her dormitory, someone called her, and she froze.After a short while, she turned around to look at her father and said expressionlessly. โYeah
What Maisie did not know was that Colton was feeling rather guilty right now. After all, this was the first time he had lied to his mother.Just when he was about to say something, Daisie turned the phone back to herself and said, โMom, Iโve made new friends in college. Colton and Nollace both have been taking great care of me, so donโt worry about us.โโReally?โ Maisie chuckled. โIt's good that youโve made new friends, but make sure you open your eyes wider this time.โDaisie was stumped. โFreyja is a good girl. She isnโt like Lisa at all.โ Maisie signed her name on a document and said, โIโll leave that for you to judge. After all, youโre grown up now. By the way, youโre going to graduate soon, right?โ She raised her head and continued. โAfter youโve graduated, Iโll give you two a graduation gift.โGiggling, Daisie replied, โSure. Iโm not going to disturb you anymore, Mom. Bye.โShe ended the video call. Colton smirked and asked, โWhy didnโt you tell Mom about Ayan?โโBeli
The girl was sizing Nollace up. After a short while, she extended her arm to Nollace and offered him a sweet smile. โHi, my name is Zenovia Livingston.โNollace grasped her hand due to courtesy and replied indifferently, โNice to meet you.โHe quickly drew back his hand. The only reason he was responding to her was only because of basic etiquette.Zenovia could feel the residual warmth in the palm of her hand. She looked at the handsome young man who was about her own age in front of her, and a feeling that she had never experienced before surged inside of her. Ever since he came into the banquet hall until he stood in front of her, Zenovia realized that he was the prince charming that she had been waiting for the whole time.Nollace left the banquet hall midway through the banquet. Zenovia went around looking for him, and she finally found him on a balcony outside the corridor.He was leaning against the armrest, looking down at the large fountain in the garden downstairs. He s
Zenovia bit her lips. โDoes he really have a fiancee, or is he lying to me?โIt was the weekend the next day.Daisie and Freyja wanted to watch an opera performance. Initially, they thought there were only two of them, but then one more person joined them at the end.Inside the car, Daisie looked at Colton in confusion. โColton, since when youโre interested in an opera performance?โSitting with his arms across his chest, Colton replied. โIโm not interested. Iโm just worried about you.โShe chuckled. โWorried about me? Why do you have to worry about me when I have bodyguards going there with me?โHe turned his head around to look at her and said, โThey arenโt reliable.โThe bodyguard driving the car was stumped. He couldnโt say anything back to Colton, so he chided him inwardly. โSince when weโve become unreliable!?โDaisie got out of the car first when they arrived at the theater. She looked around and saw Freyja waiting for her in front of the entrance.She had put on casu
Freyja was stunned and hastily said, โWait, that isnโtโโUnfortunately, she was too late. Daisie had already put the cherry in her mouth. In the next second, her face contorted out of shape, and she began to regret putting the cherry in her mouth. She got up from her seat and rushed toward the restroom.Freyja only came around to her senses after a long while. She turned her head to look at Colton and asked, โWhat's wrong with her? She just took a bite of the foie gras. Why did she behave like she had eaten something worse?โColton was cutting through his steak as he said, โShe doesn't like offal. When we went out to try western cuisine with our parents, all of the cherries were real cherries.โThat was why Daisie couldnโt differentiate the foie gras from the real cherries.Freyja lowered her head. โI didnโt know that she doesnโt like foie grasโฆโAfter all, judging from Daisie's status, she thought she would be very familiar with western food and should be able to accept it. Howe
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
