Daisie shrank into the water in fright and blushed. โI... Iโll be done right away.โNollace smiled helplessly. โI only want to remind you not to submerge yourself in the bathtub for too long. You might faint from all the heat.โAfter he finished speaking, he put her clothes down. โIโve placed your pajamas at the door.โDaisie responded with a faint hum.When the silhouette disappeared, she got up from the bathtub, pulled off the towel, and wrapped her body with it.She then pulled the bathroom door slightly open. The pajamas he had prepared were neatly folded and placed right next to the door.She changed into her pajamas and walked out of the bathroom. Her hair was soaked with water and still wet, and her fair and rosy skin was tightly fitted into the ice silk pajamas.Daisie probed her head into the bedroom. Nollace was sitting on the chaise longue with his legs crossed, covering his forehead with one hand and flipping through a magazine with the other.His gaze was fixed on
After a long time, the two finally separated from each other.Nollace rubbed her lips repeatedly. โItโs time to go to bed.โDaisie became nervous subconsciously.โIs it possible that the important moment is already here?โBefore she could recollect her thoughts, Nollace had picked her up and carried her to the bed. The moment he laid her down, she felt even more uneasy.Nollace tucked her under the blanket, did not take any further action, lay down beside her, and hugged her. โGet yourself some sleep already. Good night.โDaisie stared blankly at the ceiling.โWhen he said itโs time to go to bed, heโs only referring to a pure rest?โShe turned and stared at Nollace.Nollace had closed his eyes, and a trace of tiredness could be seen on his face as if he was really sleepy.Daisie breathed a sigh of relief.โThatโs normal. Arranging all these and decorating the villa must be very tiring.โShe turned over carefully to face him, snuggled into his arms, and closed her eyes.Out
Daisieโs every move was under scrutiny by the media, and she knew how inconvenient it was to be a public figure. Since Nollace wasnโt part of the industry, she feared it would affect him. Freyja smiled. โYouโre thinking about your husband after your ROM.โShe blushed. โHeโs my husband. Naturally, I have to protect him.โSomething came to her mind, so she turned to look at Freyja. โHowโs it going with Colton?โFreyja froze, then looked out the window. โWho knowsโฆโโWhat do you mean? Colton likes you, and you feel the same too. Isnโt that great?โโItโs not as simple as that.โ Freyja lowered her gaze. โDaisie, can we keep my relationship with Colton secret from your family?โDaisie paused and stared at her. She then leaned back in her seat. โAre you worried that my family may be against it?โFreyja looked around. โThatโs not the reasonโฆโEven if the Goldmanns accepted her, how long would their relationship last?If the relationship was complicated to begin with, would it even e
โThis was for Colton.โFreyja was surprised. She lifted the cover and stared at the keys. โHe plays the piano?โShe wouldnโt have guessed that. She had been under the impression that Colton had always been a business person and didnโt know about his other interests. This was a side of him that she never knew about.Daisie said Colton was very musically talented and even went to the Royal Academy of Music. He could have become a musician but gave up because he had to take over the family business.Freyja was shocked. โThatโs such a waste.โโIt is, but that was his own choice.โ Daisie looked down. Since Waylon had chosen to train with their great-grandfather overseas, Colton had to give up on music. Even though dreams were important, they had burdens to bear as Goldmanns.Freyja looked at her and seemed to understand why she wanted to be independent. It was because of her two brothers.She had always been pampered at home, but that didnโt make her a spoiled brat. She probably
That friendliness only extended to strangers and not friends. Friends showed emotions, but Colton never paid attention to her emotions. Even if her father never asked for his opinion before speaking to Nolan, he didnโt say much about it. โIโm curious about the kind of woman that would interest you.โColton looked around. โIs it that important to you?โGiselle was honest. โIf Iโm not even in your consideration, Iโm curious about the woman that you would fall for. She must be much better than I am.โAnd maybe that was the reason he never thought about her that way.If that woman was really outstanding, Giselle wouldnโt feel so bad about it. Colton was silent. There were a lot of outstanding women. Giselle, for example, was one of them. She came from a great family and was disciplined and always learning. She was a good example of a lady. A woman like her would be a great wife because she would be able to manage the household and help him with his business, but if a woman had
โWhen did she start working together with Colton!?โColton removed his coat and hung it in the closet. โWhy didnโt you tell me that you moved?โFreyja crossed her arms. โSomeone would tell you anyway.โColton looked around the living room. He was so familiar with this place. He stopped in front of the piano and looked down. โDid Daisie ask you to live here?โShe smiled. โWhy else would I be here?โ She then added, โIโm not living here for free. Iโm paying rent.โHe paused and turned to look at her. Freyja didnโt have anything that she should be proud of, but she was still so confident. Her confidence came from her character.She was never greedy and wouldnโt take advantage of others. She paid for everything so nobody would get to tell her how to get things done. Colton stared at her for a moment. โHow much is the rent?โShe paused, then looked away. โIโll pay whatever I have.โShe then remembered something. โIโm not paying it to you. Why do you care?โHe chuckled. โI donโ
Freyja tried to hit Colton, but he quickly grabbed her wrist and held her against the closet.She couldnโt push him away. โColton, have you no shame!?โColton raised her chin and stared at her flushed face. โIโve never been ashamed.โFreyja didnโt know what to say.He lowered his head and kissed her. He just wanted to tease her, but it escalated quickly. He was familiar with her body, but if Freyja didnโt have feelings for him, she wouldnโt just let him get his way. That was the only time they had the same thing in mind.After a week, at the party to celebrate the end of their filmingโฆDaisie attended the party. There were a lot of reporters at the door, and they rushed forward when Daisie and James showed up together.โMs. Vanderbilt, who was the man you mentioned in your social account? Can you tell us a bit more about him?โJames wanted to say something when Daisie pinched his arm. He took a sharp breath and smiled but didnโt speak. Daisie calmly said, โIโm sorry, but my
It was the same if Daisie had drunk too much champagne. If it were red wine, she would have been drunk by now.Her head was dizzy, and her cheeks felt hot by the time she left the banquet.When Mitchell was leaving, he stopped for a moment and followed after her.Daisie came to the parking lot, and there was a silver Cayenne not far away. Mitchell could sense that the man who came to pick her up must be the one who had been supporting her from the back.He hastily made a few quick steps to catch up to Daisie and grabbed her shoulder to give her some support. โMs. Vanderbilt, youโre drunk. Let me get you into the car.โDaisie was stunned. Before she could do anything, Edison appeared out of nowhere and pushed Mitchell away. โItโs okay, Sir. My master will send her back.โMitchell looked at Edison in astonishment.โMaster?โJust as he expected, the man was someone of great status.Edison waited until Daisie got into the car before heading into the driver's seat.Mitchell stoo
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
