Colton might have just gotten to experience the reason why his father wanted to retire at such a young age.โOkay, now that youโre back, Iโm finally relieved of my duty.โColton looked at him. โWaylon, can you help me for a little longer?โโDonโt even think about it.โ Waylon refused instantly, without a split second of hesitation.Colton lowered his head and held Charmโs chubby hands. โCharm, look, your uncle is the one who doesnโt allow daddy to have some rest. Itโs not that daddy doesnโt want to play with you...โHe stared at Charm, who was babbling in his arms and saying something that he could not understand and thought of something. He could not help but narrow his eyes and smirk.The next day, Colton arrived at Blackgold with his daughter in his arms, shocking all the staff.Even when he was reading documents, he had her in one hand and flipped through the documents with the other. And as soon as Charm cried, he would immediately grab the milk bottle to comfort her. When C
The man gnashed his teeth and rushed toward Mahina.Mahina evaded and gave the man a left hook punch, making him take a few steps back. Seeing how he couldnโt win over a woman, he turned to leave but was kicked from the back and fell to the floor. The wallet in his hand flew out.Mahina stepped on his back and grabbed him by his collar. โAre you blind? Youโre too dumb to steal my purse!โAnother punch landed on his face.Dylan finally caught up and watched Mahina beat that man up so fiercely. He was petrified, as if the filter he had on was shattered. Meanwhile, a car was parked outside of the center. Cameron got out with Waylon, and they were surprised when they stepped into the hall.Mr. Goldmann was here?Other than the two of them, even Harold and Conroy were there. They brought crates of alcohol with them too.Soon, Mahina and Dylan came back with the food. Dylan was happy when he left, but now he looked like a deflated balloon.Everyone started surrounding the barbecue.
Cameron leaned closer to Waylon on the way back. โWhat did you say to Nick?โWaylon looked at her and smiled. โI invited him to our wedding, of course.โโDid he agree?โโYes, of course.โCameron leaned back into her seat and smiled. โI thought you would start arguing.โWaylon held her hand and kissed it. โYou were not worried that weโd fight instead?โShe said in a serious tone, โItโs not good to fight. I donโt think youโd fight in front of everyone.โHe chuckled. โYouโre starting to sound reasonable.โCameron pulled her hand back. โIโll show you whoโs boss for teasing me.โWaylonโs phone suddenly rang, and it was Morrison. He answered, โWhatโs up?โโWayne, come and party with me. There are a few mixed-heritage beauties at Glitz. Theyโre so hot!โWhen he saw Cameron leaning in, Waylon said without hesitation, โNo, Iโm going to spend time with my wife.โHe hung up and looked at her. โWhy? Do you want to go?โHer eyes gleamed. โCan I?โโNo.โ โThereโs nothing to do at home
Must this woman drink?Leah paused and slowly said, โThat was just an accident. Iโll be careful this time.โShe then looked at him. โAre you alone?โโWell, do you see anyone else? Oh, youโre sitting on my friend,โ he casually said. Leah looked at her seat. โSitting on your friend?โMorrison poured a glass for himself, smiled, and considered scaring her. โYes, do you want to know more about it? But itโs best that you donโt know. You might not be able to sleep tonight.โLeah picked up her mojito and took a drink. โIโm even more curious now.โMorrison saw that she wasnโt tricked, so he clicked his tongue. โYouโre so daring. Let me tell you then. My friend jumped off a building not too long ago and died terribly. Her head split open. Youโre sitting on her, and sheโs not happy about it at all, so be careful tonight. She might stand next to your bed, and youโll be in trouble.โHe thought that would scare her away, but Leah laughed instead. โYouโre telling me a horror story, huh?โM
Cameron paused. โWhy do you ask?โโIf you want to, Iโll go with you.โ Waylon rested his chin on her head. Cameron turned to face him. โShouldnโt you bring me to Stoslo instead?โHe paused. โDo you want to go?โโYou said that you have friends to introduce to me. Itโs not too much if I meet them, right?โHe squinted. โAre you sure you just want to see my friends?โCameron placed the coffee cup on the table and hugged his neck. โYou know everyone on the East Islands, but I donโt know anyone from the Night Banquet. Shouldnโt I say hello to them?โWaylon chuckled and tapped the tip of her nose. โSure, as long as youโre happy.โHe picked her up and walked to their bed. โฆIt was 11:00 p.m., and the streets were already quiet. Many shops were closed, and only a few cars drove under the bridge. โSee, I said that I would not get drunk tonight.โ Leah rolled down the window on the passenger side. A cold breeze blew in, and she was even more awake. Morrison, who was driving, laughed
Zephir fell silent. โYou always had different dates. Now itโs Roxyโs turn. Was it worth changing for even if she looks a lot like Daisie?โLeahโs eyes were red because she felt that her decade of feelings wasnโt worth it. She liked Zephir because he was loyal to Daisie and would secretly do things for her. She thought that Zephir was a loyal person, and even when he found out that Daisie was getting married, he was sad for some time. However, she still stayed by his side without complaining and helped him heal, even if he didnโt have feelings for her. She believed that one day he would eventually notice. But what happened?What she saw was Zephir getting new girlfriends, one after the other, and the reason he gave them for the breakups was that they werenโt compatible. Then he met Roxy, who stayed longer than any other woman by this side. It was all because she looked like Daisie and even copied Daisieโs style. He knew that she wasnโt Daisie but still chose to date her
Patricia seemed to have noticed something had happened between her son and Leah. Whatโs more, her son was being bewitched by a woman she did not like, so her face was dark.โZephir doesnโt even want to come home now. He just wants to stay outside. I really donโt understand whatโs so good about that woman.โ Alexander said, โAlright, alright. This is his own choice. He's a grown adult. We can't help him make decisions now.Patricia sighed. โI thought Leah was going to become my daughter-in-lawโฆโBenjamin chuckled and said, โItโs fine. It isnโt going to affect our relationship anyway.โAt Yaramoor, at Blue Valley ManorโฆDaisie walked to the flower garden with her big belly and watered the roses in the courtyard, hoping that they would bloom beautifully in the spring.Nollace approached her and took the watering can from her. โDidnโt I say you should rest more?โShe pursed her lips and said, โI either sit or eat and sleep every day. I feel like I'm going to become a mushroom soon.
A man approached Leah and asked, โAre you Ms. Younge?โ Leah raised her head. She thought the man her father introduced was not coming anymore. She was going to leave after she finished everything, but to her dismay, he came in the end. She smiled. โYeah, itโs me. Please have a seat.โThe man sat down and looked at the food on the table.Leah continued to smile and said, โIโm sorry. Itโs the third day of the new year. I thought you were not coming anymore since it has already been half an hour.โThe man was rendered speechless. After all, Leah implied he was half an hour late.โI was caught up by something. Anyway, Ms. Younge, I heard you worked as an interpreter while abroad?โWithout putting down her fork, Leah replied, โYeah. Iโm still considering whether I should go back or not after this.โMaintaining a smile on his face, he asked, โYouโre planning to go back there?โโIt depends on my situation,โ said Leah. After that, she raised her head to look at the man and continued
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
