โWho told you that Iโm someone who wonโt admit defeat? I admit that Mr. Wickam is a decent match, so as the saying goes, all is fair when it comes to war. Mr. Wickam should know this too, shouldnโt he?โ Cameron responded to Dylan's accusation with confidence.Nick stood up slowly, covered his face with his palms, and chuckled after a short while. โI didnโt expect you to still be as cunning as ever. You even turned to this kind of trick.โCameron stroked her sleeves unconcernedly, โI used to look down upon the usage of such tactics, but people change. I can only say that youโve underestimated your foe.โDylan was trembling with anger. โY-Youโre really shameless.โShe sneered. โShameless people are the invincible ones in the world.โโAnyway, I learned it from Wayne.โโYouโโNick raised his hand to interrupt Dylanโs sentence, glanced at Cameron, and laughed. โYouโre right. I underestimated my enemy and gave you a chance to play dirty.โโThen can we leave our grievances behind alre
Nick nodded. โI look forward to that.โWaylon took Cameron away.After leaving the training center, Cameron broke free from his arms and looked at him. โDo you really know Nick?โWaylon stared at her face. โArenโt you afraid that Iโll be jealous when you keep on mentioning another man in front of me?โCameron choked on her own words.โYou? Getting jealous? Whatโs there to be jealous of?โWaylon pressed her against the hood of the car, pinched her chin, and moved half an inch closer to her. โAre the both of you close?โShe did not even hesitate for a moment before answering, โI wouldnโt consider us to be close.โWaylon was at a loss. He seemed helpless because she answered his question so confidently and did not seem to be lying.He rubbed the corners of her lips with his fingertips and lowered his head to kiss her, and Cameron immediately propped her hands against his chest. โThere are people hereโ Mmmm!โWaylon clasped the back of her head with his palm, diminishing every sing
Waylon held the back of her head and sealed her lips completely.Cameron was so infuriated that she wanted to bite him. However, as if he had known how she would react to his actions, he immediately pulled his lips away from her.Cameron grabbed a slipper and threw it at him.Waylon dodged the projectile by hiding behind the door, and the shoe flew by his body, missing its target. He then laughed out loud. โHow are you still so adorable when youโre pissed?โโWayne Goldmann, get lost!โAfter Waylon left, Cameron lay on the side of the bathtub, and her cheeks blushed.โThat fella mustโve bewitched me. Otherwise, how could I... How could I almost accept his suggestion earlier!?โIn the study room, Waylon sat behind the desk and read the materials that Leonardo had sent him.Nick Wickam, the owner of the martial arts training center, was considered quite a figure back in Southeast Eurasia.The Wickams had risen to fame in Southeast Eurasia. After Nickโs father, the patriarch of th
Cameron took a sip of tea. โItโs okay. I have the time.โDylan rolled his eyes, seeing that she was going to stay here. โJust what do you want? Our grandmaster has already promised not to retaliate against you, so donโt push your luck.โCameron crossed her legs. โIโm here to make an offer, and youโre saying that Iโm pushing my luck. Whatโs wrong with you? Are you making a lot of money? Even if you despise me, at least show money a tad bit of respect.โDylan was startled. โWhat do you mean by that?โShe waved her hand. โYou wonโt understand even if I explain everything to you. Now go and get Nick to come out and meet me.โDylan wanted to say something else, but a middle-aged manโs voice came from upstairs. โDylan, let Ms. Southern through.โDylan curled his lips and said reluctantly, โPlease come with me.โโThatโs more like it.โ Cameron stood up with a smile, turned her head around, and said to Daisie, โWait for me here.โDaisie nodded.Cameron went upstairs and came to Nickโs
Nick turned to look at Cameron. โSince when did you learn to speak for others?โCameron was startled. โIโm telling the truth.โHe did not say anything.Cameron narrowed her eyes. โPlease donโt tell me that youโre still holding grudges against me?โHe frowned. โWhat?โโI know. What I did back then was a little too much. I can apologize to you. After all, I was only a young and presumptuous girl back then.โAfter saying that, Cameron laughed and approached him all of a sudden. โYour martial arts training center teaches the Southernsโ fist techniques. It suits me just fine, doesnโt it? Worse comes to worst, you can continue to be the grandmaster of this place, and Iโll only be one of the shareholders or something like that, or maybe one of the trainers once in a while?โAfter a while, Cameron was driven out of the office.Cameron was caught off guard. She then turned around and yelled, โHey! Why would you kick me out? Hey, Nick, what do you think? At least say something!โโIโll b
Before Cameron could finish her sentence, a car rushed toward them at high speed. Cameron tapped on the steering wheel, and the sharp screeching sound of tires followed. Daisie grabbed onto the seat belt and protected her belly while keeping her eyes tightly shut. They couldnโt avoid the car and bumped into the car in front of them. That immediately caused a chain accident. Cameron ignored her own pain and stretched her hand toward Daisie. โDaisie, are you alright?โShe turned to look at Daisie in the passengerโs seat. She was shaking, and her face was pale because she was shocked. โIโฆ Iโm fine, but my belly hurts.โCameron saw blood running down her legs, so she immediately unbuckled her belt and got out of the car. She grabbed the driver who came down to take a look. โPlease drive us to the hospital. My friend is injured!โCameron pulled Daisie out of the car and saw the blood running down her legs. The kind driver immediately drove them to the nearest hospital. Waylon w
Nolan pulled Maisie into his arms. โAlright, Daisie is safe now, so thereโs no need to worry.โWaylon and Cameron walked over. โDad, Mom.โMaisie got out of Nolanโs embrace, wiped her tears, and smiled. โYour sister and nephew are alright.โWaylon smiled too. โThatโs great.โCameron looked toward the ward. Even though they were both safe, she was still burdened. โฆDaisie woke up at 1:00 p.m. and saw Nollace dozing off next to her bed. She raised her hand and touched his face. Nollace slowly opened his eyes, looked into her, and held her hand that was on his face. โYouโre awake.โShe beamed.Nollace kissed her fingers. โYou donโt know how worried I amโฆโDaisie turned to face him and chuckled. โIโm fine.โโYouโre laughing?โ Nollace gently knocked her head and leaned in closer. โI would go crazy if anything happened to you.โDaisie laughed but suddenly recalled something and immediately sat up straight before touching her belly. โWhat about the baby?โHe smiled and patted h
The officer hesitated before nodding in approval. Waylon walked into the room, pulled out a chair, and sat down. The man had his head low as beads of sweat formed on his forehead.He looked at him for a moment. โI heard your car malfunctioned, and that was why it was out of control, right?โThe man carefully looked up. โYes.โWaylon squinted. โAre you sure?โThe man was anxious. โI told you it was a malfunction. Why do you think I would put my life at risk?โWaylon calmly took out his phone, opened the footage of the accident, and placed the phone in front of him. He watched it while his eyes darted around. โWhat is thisโฆโWaylon crossed his fingers, rested his chin on them, and stared at the man sharply as though he could see through him. โWhat if you knew you wouldnโt be in danger?โThe man balled up his hands that were resting on his thighs as chills ran down his spine.Waylon placed his hands on the table and leaned forward. โYou knew that you wouldnโt be in danger becaus
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
