Waylon put his arm behind her seat and leaned in half an inch. โLearn to take care of Deedee then. Donโt lose her.โCameron wasnโt happy. โAre you looking down on me?โHe pecked her on the lips, but Cameron pushed her hand on his shoulder. โDonโt steal kisses!โWaylon got what he wanted. โIโm having fun.โHe then drove the car away. The next dayโฆDeedee sat in the garden staring at the door, waiting for someone. When a car stopped outside the gates, she got up excitedly, but her smile immediately disappeared when she saw the woman who got out.Jessie walked into the garden with her briefcase and saw her waiting in the garden. She squinted and walked over to Deedee. โWhy are you here alone? Is your aunt not at home?โDeedee curled back and didnโt speak.Jessie looked around and could see no one, so she dropped her pretense. โDeedee, I like kids who obey. Didnโt I tell you that your aunt wonโt like you if you don't obey?โHer little face turned pale. Jessie leaned down clo
Even if Cameron wasnโt friends with Freyja, she was insulted. โShe even dragged Freyja into this. This woman sure is something.โCameron walked closer to her. โItโs none of your business if Iโm rude or not. Youโre insulting the lady of the house in her own home. Have you no shame? Do you think youโre the lady of the house instead?โJessieโs face dropped. โW-What are you talking about?โโWhy are you panicking? Youโre not going to be the lady of the house. I donโt think Colemanโs taste is so terrible that he would be attracted to a woman like you.โAfter Cameron said that, she immediately remembered who this woman was. โIsnโt she the one Wayne was reading about?โThis woman was even more repulsive than Florence. Even though Florence was annoying, she was more straightforward with the insults. This one, on the other hand, was really good at pretending. Jessieโs face turned pale. โYouโฆโIt would be hard to explain if someone saw her if she threw a tantrum. She suppressed her ange
Jessie took over the tissue and said, โItโs nothing. Itโs just about Deedee. Can I see Mr. Goldmann? I really have something very important to speak to him about.โLeonardo replied, โMr. Goldmann is having a meeting right now. Iโm afraid he canโt come out.โShe replied, โItโs okay. I can wait for him.โLeonardo led her to the office. After roughly 30 minutes, the meeting ended. Leonardo told Colton that Jessie was there to see him when he returned to the office.He did not say anything back to Leonardo, and Leonardo couldnโt tell his emotions from his face. He pushed the door open and went into the office.When Jessie saw him, she rose to her feet. โMr. Goldmann.โColton stood behind the couch and looked at her deeply. It was true that he had told her before that she could come to see him as long as it was about Deedee. However, it seemed to him that she had been showing up before him too often. Not only that, but she was not talking about Deedee most of the time, and honestly, h
โMr. Goldmann, have you ever thought about why Deedee refused to cooperate with my treatment? Her aunt is the reason she has been resisting me. Deedee is abnormally possessive of her aunt. She's afraid of being abandoned by her, and her mental status is vulnerable. If she continues to resist my treatment, she'll only get worse.โColton fell silent. He did not know how to refute Jessie. Jessie was a psychologist. She indeed was thinking from the angle of the patients.โI think you should go back first.โJessie heaved out a sigh of relief and smiled. โAlright.โ When she walked to the door, Colton called out to her and said, โIโm going to stop Deedeeโs treatment, so for the time being, you donโt have to go to the Seaview Villa.โJessie gritted her teeth and replied, โAlright.โHer face was dark when she left the office. โThose d*mned b*tches! How dare they ruin my plan!? I must teach them a lesson!โSuddenly, her phone rang. When she saw the phone number, her face sank. She di
Cameron chuckled, โOf course, you can. Youโre a good kid, Deedee. You can do whatever you want to do.โDeedee walked over to the grass field. There were kids playing soccer and flying kites. The air was filled with the sound of the children. She stopped at the side and did not approach them.A ball rolled to her feet. When Deedee lowered her head, a voice rang out. โHey, can you help us kick the ball over here?โIt was a few boys who were playing soccer. All of them were about her age. Deedee kicked the ball over.A boy came over and picked up the ball. He turned his head to look at Deedee and offered her a big grin. โDo you want to come and play with us?โDeedee was stunned. Then, she shook her head. โBut I donโt know how to play soccerโฆโThe boy patted his chest and replied, โDonโt worry. Iโll teach you.โโConnor, hurry up!โ Another boyโs voice rang out.He turned his head around and replied, โGive me a moment.โAfter that, he extended his hand toward Deedee. โLetโs go.โ
Cameron put Deedee on her lap. โWhy are you so afraid of this uncle? You donโt need to be scared of him. He doesnโt eat people.โ Waylon squinted when Cameron called him uncle.Deedee said in a low voice, โMy uncle doesnโt like me.โCameron knew that she was talking about Waylonโs brother.She grabbed her hand and asked, โThen can you tell me why that uncle doesnโt like you?โShe waited for a long while, but Deedee refused to open her mouth.Cameron then pressed on and said, โThis uncle isnโt the same uncle that lives with you. Theyโre brothers, so they look alike. Come, take a good look at this uncle.โShe turned Deedee over to look at Waylon and said, โEven though he has this weird smile on his face and likes to bully other people, he likes you very much.โ Waylon chuckled. โA weird smile? I like to bully other people? So thatโs what she thinks of me?โDeedee seemed to have noticed the difference between Waylon and Colton, and her fear slowly ebbed away. Cameron caressed
If Deedee couldnโt get over it or accept it, the gossip and criticism would destroy her. The vilest thing in this world was rumors. If they did not do something about it, Deedee might get affected and fall into the wrong path in the future.Cameron parted her lips slowly and said, โI wonโt let that happen to Deedee. Sheโs a good kid. She shouldn't be judged because of one mistake. Besides, she doesn't get to choose her own parents, so why should she bear these mistakes that don't belong to her?โAnd about that psychologist that your brother hired. She taught Deedee to hurt herself. I think that psychologist is the one with mental illness.โWaylon frowned, โSeriously?โHe had run a background check on Jessie. She indeed came from the same school as Daisie and Colton, so she must be the real deal.Besides, she was a real psychologist with medical credentials. Her university had all her records and name, and she had never violated any rules during her studies.Her identity was r
Freyja took Deedeeโs hand. โCome on. Letโs go into the house for dinner.โAt 9:00 p.m., Colton came back home. As he walked into the living room, he saw the servant cleaning the dining table. โMr. Goldmann, youโve come back.โHe responded with a faint hum and removed his tie. โHas Deedee come home?โโMs. Southern sent Ms. Deedee back a long time ago. Ms. Pruitt claimed that Ms. Deedeeโs appetite improved after going out to play with Ms. Southern. She ate two bowls of rice tonight, which means that Ms. Deedee had a good time.โHe paused for a while.โFrom what I know, Deedeeโs appetite has never been very good. Not only has she been losing weight, but sheโs also a little malnourished. And Freyja has been extremely worried about her condition.โHe had tried his best to find someone to cure Deedee. All he wanted to see was Freyja not having to worry too much about her.He went upstairs, walked past Deedeeโs room, and heard laughter coming from inside.It was Freyja and her.โThe
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
