โDonโt worry. More opportunities will definitely present themselves in the future.โDaisie turned to look at Shannon. โThen please watch over James more for me.โJames clicked his tongue. โWhat do you mean by that? Iโm no 3-year-old kid. Do I look like someone who canโt take care of myself?โShannon laughed. โOkay, Iโll take good care of this brat and save Charlie from loads of worrying news.โDaisie and Nollace got in the car and left the crew.On the way, Daisie leaned on the back of the seat. โI thought Tiffany would expose Zephir in order to protect herself, but I didnโt expect...โโNot only did Tiffany disappear from the Internet, but she also chose to remain silent.โNollace massaged her shoulders for her. โPerhaps she chose to be silent because she knows that even though she wants to expose Zephir, she has nothing on him.โDaisie was astonished for a moment. โIf everything that she told the female influencer to do to you was under his orders, wouldnโt that be something t
โIโve always thought that Zephir was a gentle and kind big brother whoโs considerate and would put others in front of himself. But after learning of these events, I only realize just how terrifyingly paranoid and selfish he is.โAs for Lisaโs incident, he did do everything for me, but he never told me anything about it. Even if I wanted to stop being friends with Lisa, I had never considered forcing Lisa to drop out of school.โThis time around, he wanted to use Tiffany because she was turning me into a target. Although his original intention was not to hurt me but to target Nollace, his selfish behavior still hurt me indirectly, didnโt it?โNollace took her into his arms and rested his chin on the top of her head. โThe reason I didnโt go after him is that he didnโt really hurt you. Thatโs why Iโm letting him go this time around. But if something similar happens again, Iโll surely settle the new and old scores once and for all with him.โDaisie was startled and pursed her lips. โAr
Colton looked down at the baby in his arms. โSheโs my daughter, Charm, short for Charmaine.โTitus stretched his neck forward and stretched out his hand eagerly. โShow me my great-great-granddaughter.โTitus held Charm in his arms. Charm was not asleep and was sucking on her thumb while staring at Titus with her big round eyes, not even making a single noise.โOh my, why is this little girl still sucking on her fingers? Thatโs very dirty. Take it out.โTitus took Charmaineโs teeny thumb out of her mouth. She pouted for a split second before immediately bursting out crying.Titus was caught off guard and bewildered.Freyja put the spare pacifier into Charmโs mouth, and the little baby stopped crying instantly and started sucking on the pacifier.Titus looked at the brilliant eyes of the little girl, and his stone-cold heart could not help but melt.Colton walked to the couch and sat down. โDad, Grandpa, hasnโt Waylon arrived yet?โTitus handed the child to Freyja and turned aro
โWhy canโt I get worked up because of her?โ Titus looked dissatisfied. โDid you hear what she just said? She doesnโt want to marry into the Goldmanns! Does she even know what sheโs talking about? Wayne is an excellent man. Other women canโt even dream about laying their hands on him, and this girl is disgusted when sheโs been blessed with an opportunity that other girls would fight each other to the death for?โโThis old man is just nitpicking now.โCameron crossed her arms. โSince when did I say Iโm disgusted by him? Didnโt you think that Iโm too weak to support the Goldmanns as its future matriarch? Then Iโll just prove to you that youโre right.โโYouโโโWhat about me? Iโve never been humiliated to this extent ever since I was born. You make it sound like Iโm trying to curry favor with the Goldmanns. If I were to know that Iโd run into you here, I wouldnโt have come.โAfter saying that, she turned her face away and snorted.โNo matter what, Iโm the one whoโs being wronged here,
โNo, this is between us, so you better not get my father involved.โโHe wants to complain about me to Dad? Over my dead body!โNicholas smiled. โFather, why are you making things difficult for the young lady?โโIโm making things hard for her? Sheโs the one whoโs making things hard for me. Sheโs been embarrassing me like Iโm nothing. Does my reputation in the family look like something that can be trampled on?โTitus looked upset.Cameron muttered, โMy reputation is worth something too.โTitus was shocked when he heard her refute. โLook, sheโs talking back at me again. What a presumptuous woman. I must talk to her father about her attitude.โCameronโs eyes widened. โYouโre quite an unreasonable geezer!โTitus nodded. โYes, Iโve always been, and Iโll always be unreasonable. What do you plan to do about that?โCameron took a deep breath and forced a smile. โA truly great person knows when to yield. Iโll apologize for what Iโve done; Iโm sorry.โTitus turned his face away arrogan
After dinner, Waylon asked Cameron to return to Emperon first. Daisie and Nollace gave her a ride because it was on their way home. In the car, Daisie saw that Cameron had her eyes on the view outside and wasnโt speaking.She pressed her lips together and asked, โCameron, how do you feel about my brother?โCameron paused and looked back. โHeโs fine. Why?โโDo you not like him?โโIโฆ didnโt say that.โ Cameron looked down. โShouldnโt getting married be something that both parties agree to? I donโt want to get married yet.โShe had been tricked into registering for their marriage, and now she was being rushed into having a wedding. She hadnโt really thought about it and didnโt want to get married before doing that. Daisie stopped speaking. The car stopped outside Emperon, and Cameron got out.After Cameron entered the house, Daisie leaned back in her seat. โNolly, do you think that Sunny is being selfish for pushing Cameron and Waylon to be together?โHe had never asked for Ca
Cameron bit her lip. โWhich restaurant is he at?โDaisie told her the address. Cameron hung up and left after picking up her coat. Daisie hid behind the wall and looked back at Nollace. โNolly, do you think itโs going to work?โNollace pulled her hat down lower. โWear it properly. Donโt let anyone see you.โWaylon quickly showed up at the restaurant but didnโt see Daisie. A woman called out to him. โMr. Goldmann?โHe frowned as he turned and saw a woman sitting next to the window. It was Minzy. Waylon walked toward her and stopped at her table. โMs. Holland, what brings you here?โMinzy was surprised. โDidnโt you ask to meet me?โWaylon squinted. โMe?โHis eyes caught someone hiding behind a wall, and he connected the dots upon recalling the text Daisie had sent him.Waylon pulled out a chair and sat across from her. โI think someone asked you over by using my name. Iโm sorry about that.โMinzy looked down. โReally? Who could have done that?โHe glared in the directio
Cameron frowned. โWhat can she do?โDaisie took a deep breath. โDonโt underestimate a woman who fancies a man. She would be willing to do anything to get him.โCameron was shocked. โAnything?โDaisie nodded. โYes. What if she drugged him and got her way with him when he passed out? If she gets pregnant and forces my brother to marry her, youโre going to lose him.โCameron took a sharp breath. โPeople do that?โDaisie advised. โIโm not lying. Waylon is like a sheep to her. Trust me. Sheโs going to order some wine for him.โCameron wasnโt convinced, but Daisie immediately grabbed her arm. โCome with me if you donโt believe me.โโHey, Daisie, hold onโโ She was dragged over.They sat at a table in the corner a little further from them, and Daisie picked up the napkin to cover her face. โWait and see.โCameron covered her face too. โIs this a good idea?โDaisie said, โDonโt worry, heโs not going to notice us.โEven if he did, he wouldnโt expose them.Nollace, who was standing be
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
