Daisie moved away. โYou canโt hug me if you donโt explain.โNollace was troubled because he didnโt know how to explain. There was a knock on the door, and Jakeโs voice came from behind the door. โMr. Beck, your bag of clothes was left in the car.โNollce placed his hand on his forehead and walked to the door to get the bag from Jake. โThanks.โAfter the door closed, Daisie took her bag and was going to leave when Nollace blocked the doorway. She mumbled, โPlease move. Iโm leaving.โNollace was amused. โYouโre really angry?โโI came to see you, but you treated me this way. Youโve changed, you *sshole.โ She pushed him away and then grabbed the door handle, but Nollace handed the bag to her. โDo you want to take a look?โShe turned back. โWhatโs that?โShe took the bag and opened it. It was womenโs clothes, a wig, perfume, and makeup.Daisie picked up the bottle of perfume and sniffed at it. It was the one on Nollace. She figured it out and looked at him in shock. โAre youโฆ Ar
Sunny smiled. โItโs interesting to think that two girls are on a blind date.โWaylon looked back at the tea in his cup and smiled. โWhat will happen if the girl likes her?โSunny waved his hand. โDonโt worry. Itโs probably going to fail because of that outfit.โWaylon ran his finger over the brim of the cup and didnโt speak. Cameron waited there for a while until the door was opened, and a lady walked in. She wasnโt the prettiest, but she looked classy. The woman smiled. โAre you Mr. Southern?โCameron crossed her fingers and rested her chin on them. โI am. Are you Minzy that Uncle Damian tried to introduce to me?โ Minzy sat down and placed her bag on her side. โIโve heard about you, but I imagined you differently.โCameron smiled. โI get that a lot.โ She pushed her hair back and leaned back on her chair. โItโs probably because Iโm so hot.โMinzy looked uneasy but still had a smile on. โYouโre so humorous.โOnce the food was served, Cameron picked up her cutlery and went s
Cameronโs head turned, and her cheek was red. She touched it in shock. โYou slapped me?โMinzyโs eyes were red from anger. โYou touched me, why canโt I hit you?โ She then turned to face Sunny. โIs this how you brought up your son? How could a family as famous as the Southerns molest women!?โSunny rubbed his temples and glared at Cameron. โThis b*stard!โHe didnโt help Cameron. โIโm so sorry. Itโs my fault for not bringing him up the right way.โโItโs just my luck. Letโs forget that this even happened.โ Minzy accepted his apology and left the room.In the corridor, she bumped into Waylon, who walked past her and looked back in surprise.โA man like that exists on the East Islands? Handsome and classy?โ She would believe it if he was actually Cameron because that was how Cameron had been described to her. She regretted meeting Cameron because the rumors were all fake.But who was this man?In the roomโฆCameron held her swollen cheek. โThat was a hard slap, dad. My face is swoll
Waylon couldnโt help but smirk, then picked up his cup of tea and sipped on it. Cameron held the ice pack against the skin. โBecause of that blind date. I hope my dad doesn't agree to any more of those.โโMr. Walde was thinking about your future.โ The butler felt bad as Damian didnโt know that Cameron was a girl. She glared at Waylon, who was casually sipping tea, and suddenly remembered something. โWhy didnโt I think of getting Mr. Goldmann to go on my behalf? Youโre a real man.โThe blind date didnโt mean anything to her because she was a lady, but Waylon was a man.Waylon looked up. โI have no right to take your place.โCameron sat next to him. โNot at all. Iโm giving you the power to do that.โYouโre at an age to get married anyway, and I have the candidates for you. Since youโve come all the way here, you might as well bring a sister-in-law back for your sister. Isnโt that great?โThe butler looked uneasy because Cameron was the one who was forced to go on blind dates, b
Daisie paused and mumbled, โItโs all your fault.โNollace rested his head on his hand and smiled. โSure, blame me.โJake walked in and wasnโt surprised to see Daisie there because he knew she had stayed over. โMr. Beck.โNollace nodded and walked to the door with Jake, who looked into the room and said, โFabio sent someone to bring Buchanon to him. I guess thatโs the end of him.โNollace calmly asked, โWho will take over Parkin after heโs removed?โJake thought about it. โGail has the highest chance.โNollace smiled. โGreat then.โโฆBuchanon knelt on the marble tiles while shaking because he was filled with terror. He didnโt know the files in his computer were in Fabioโs hands. Fabio had his back to him while standing in front of a huge window with his hands behind his back. He was looking out the window. โBuchanon, I let you handle Parkin, yet this was how you repay me?โHe shuddered and looked up. โMr. Puzo, I didnโt betray you. Someone framed me!โFabio slowly turned aro
The next day, at Yuzu VillaโฆMinzy was sitting in the private room. She felt nervous, and her heart was pumping rapidly as she looked at Waylon. After all, the man before her was the most outstanding man she had ever seen so far.He had a handsome and sharp face, yet there was a trace of gentleness between his eyebrows.She grabbed tightly at the cup and asked, โMr. Goldmann, are you from the East Islands?โHolding a cup of tea in his hand, he replied, โNope.โMinzy lowered her face and smiled. โSo where are you from?โWaylon lifted his eyelids and replied, โI am from Bassburgh.โShe smiled. โWell, Iโm from Kong Ports. Itโs pretty near, isnโt it?โAs if something crossed her head, she asked again, โAre you Mr. Southernโs friend?โWaylon looked outside through the window absentmindedly and replied, โWell, you can put it that way too if you want.โMinzy did not expect him to know Cameron, and it seemed to her that they were rather close too. If she had known it earlier, she wou
Waylon lowered his head and pressed on her. Cameronโs eyes opened widely, and the fan in her hands fell to the floor. Minzy jerked up and covered her mouth in shock and disbelief. She could not accept what had happened before her eyes, so she ran out with her eyes turning red.Cameron was frozen stiff, and she did not dare to make any move.Waylonโs face was very close to hers right now. His lips landed on the finger that he put on Cameronโs lips. Even though they were not kissing, it seemed to Minzy that they were from her angle of view.Cameron pushed him away and pointed at him. โYou!โNo words could come out of her mouth for a long while, and then she stormed away from the private room.Waylon gazed at his finger and fell into thought.โฆThe atmosphere in the car was weird. Cameron rested her chin on her palm as she looked outside through the mirror. Even though she tried her best to chase away the memory in her head, it just wouldnโt go away no matter how hard she tried
โWell, itโs a good thing sheโs upset.โ Sunny patted his shoulder. โIโm worried that sheโs happy, but now, it seems like even the dullest people will feel jealous as well. Hahaha.โThe sky was getting dark.After Cameron finished taking her bath, she brushed her teeth in the bathroom. She grabbed the cup and raised her head to look at herself in the mirror. Touching her lips with her finger, she mumbled, โWhat if we really kissedโฆโWhen she came around her senses, she slammed the cup on the washbasin and looked at herself in shock.โWhat the hell am I thinking?โShe grabbed her hair and left the bathroom in a hurry. It was brightly lit everywhere, and then Sunny came into the room with a group of maids behind him. โCam, youโre finally awake. You should get up now and get yourself dressed. The groom will arrive at any minute.โโWhat groom? What are you talking about?โ She was dumbfounded, โNo, Dad, IโโBefore she could finish her sentence, Sunny waved his hand, and that group of
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
