Nollace stopped, turned around, and looked at Roxy, who was walking toward him. His expression looked calm and unconcerned.โYou are Daisieโs husband, arenโt you? I heard that there are some rumors going on between your wife and Mr. Zephir Gosling.โโEvery man would surely be triggered if he were to find out that his wife has had a relationship with other men, so Iโm confident that this man is the same too.โNollace loosened the strap of his watch and pretended to be puzzled. โWhat kind of rumors are you talking about?โRoxy gave off a sweet and slightly seductive smirk. โI heard that Mr. Gosling had once courted Daisie back then. However, he couldnโt get her to love him back and even regarded me as her substitute. I also heard that they seemed to have a relationshipโฆโโDo you know anything about defamation?โRoxyโs expression froze.He let off a faint smirk. โI know better than you whether my wife and Zephir have had a relationship before this. Besides, I got acquainted with Ze
Zephir poured himself a cup of tea.Nollace interlocked his fingers. โShe deliberately brought up your relationship with Daisie in front of me, intending to sow discord between Daisie and me. I bet sheโs doing so because of you, right?โZephir paused for a bit but did not utter a single word.โYou dated her because she looks like Daisie, so you took her in as a substitute. She now holds a grudge against you, and in order to retaliate against you, she got herself into Tenet on purpose, wanted Charlie to take her under him, and even exploited Daisieโs fame for her own marketing.โAll these actions seem very provocative, so no matter if sheโs trying to provoke you or Daisie, there must always be a reason behind her actions.โZephir put down the teapot and looked up. โWhat exactly do you want?โNollace scoffed. โDaisie is now pregnant, so I donโt want her to be dragged into this mess. Besides, this is a matter between you and her. Youโre the one who let the demon into the house, so s
After saying that, Jaylon left his office without looking back.Roxy just came out of the elevator and saw Roland. Seeing that no one was in the corridor, she took advantage of their encounter to drag him to the stairwell. โMr. Goldwin, when will you introduce me to a production crew?โRoland was not in the mood. Seeing that she was still acting so recklessly in the company, he pushed her away directly. โRoxy, I promised to help you step into the entertainment industry, but youโd better not bring me more trouble. The first thing that you should do is to keep a distance from me when weโre in the company.โRoxy chuckled and wrapped her arms around his neck. โDonโt you think this is very exciting? Mr. Goldwin, please donโt neglect me. Iโll be very sad if you do that to me.โRoxy acted coquettishly and seductively. Roland liked such an attitude the most, so he soon fell for her charm again.But they did not notice that a figure just so happened to pass by the stairwell upstairs.โฆN
A few days later, Roxy joined a cast with Rolandโs help. Her arrival even got the original female lead removed from the cast, as Roxy had to be the one to take over the female lead's role because the crew received sponsorship from her benefactor.Roxy posted a post on Twitter about joining the filming crew. A series of beautiful pictures of herself then followed it. She even shot them from the exact angle that Daisie shot hers from back then.This caused the names of the two artists to be tied together on Google Trends and Twitter again. Such behavior attracted a lot of disdain from Daisieโs fans.Many of them went onto Roxyโs Twitter account and retweeted her tweet, and while doing so, they bashed her and told her to stop tying herself to Daisie to hype herself up.Many thought she would delete the post after all the attention she had attracted. Still, no one expected that she would mock Daisieโs fans, saying that they were criticizing her only because they were worried their arti
Roland was astonished and quickly checked his phoneโs call log.โSh*t! Roxy actually called me!โHe quickly explained, โHoney, this isnโt what you thinkโโMrs. Goldwin slapped him on the cheek and roared, โRoland Goldwin, you heartless b*stard. I gave birth to children for you, and Iโve been a full-time housewife for so many years. How dare you betray me!?โโI really have nothing to do with her!โโIs it so? Fine, Iโll go to the crew to find that b*tch now!โ Mrs. Goldwin slammed the door shut and left.Only then did Roland realize that there was going to be a huge commotion at the studio. He called Roxy immediately, but she had already turned off her phone.He hurried out, but his wife had already left in her car.โฆMrs. Goldwin went straight to the studio. โWhereโs that little b*tch named Roxy Van Damme!? Roxy Van Damme, youโd better get your *ss out here! How dare you seduce my husband!?โThe director of the project stepped forward. โMrs. Goldwin, youโreโโโWhereโs Roxy Van
Roxy was beaten up and sent to the hospital. However, even the patients that shared the same ward with her were unwilling to stay with her because of her reputation.On the other end of this farceโฆTenetโs stock dropped by 13% in less than a day.Roland was forced to issue a press release to clear up his relationship with Roxy. Tenetโs officials also released a post on all their social media platforms, saying they had terminated their contract with Roxy.Roxy was now known as the artist who got kicked out of the circle not long after landing a place in the industryโshe had become a joke on the Internet.As things continued to spread and ferment on the Internet, Roxy was completely blacklisted from showbiz. Her Twitter was temporarily deactivated to salvage the traffic that Twitter had been facing since her downfall.Seeing this, she could only resort to her final trick, and that was to call the Goslings and tell them that she was pregnant with Zephirโs child.Patricia was so ang
โYou, on the other hand, do you know why Iโve been asking you to take birth control while also asking you to use skincare? Youโre different from the other women because you donโt know when to be content. I knew this day would come.โZephir pushed Roxy away.Roxy looked like a flower that wilted. โYou said that youโre pregnant? Why donโt I ask the doctors to check if you can get pregnant?โHer pregnancy was fake because she just wanted a way out. But why? Why did he have to be so cruel?She laughed. โIf you knew, why did you keep me by your side? Because of this face?โโYou knew you were just a replacement but still stayed because of the money and status. I had said that I wouldnโt take you too seriously. We were just getting what we needed. Do you really think that youโre good enough to make me stay? Just because of that face? Thatโs so stupid.โZephirโs mind had always been clear, but he pretended that wasnโt the case. Roxy had been under the impression that Zephir wouldnโt ge
However, when Freyja saw that people started to talk about her work on Thither, she was excited about it. She was at least getting some recognition. Suddenly, she received a call from Leia. โFreyja, I heard Norman say that you and Donny are back to get ready for your new movie. How is it going?โFreyja got up, walked to the window, and then smiled and replied, โThe crew is building the set at the Kong Ports, but we wonโt start filming soon. We need to train the actors first.โLeia teased, โYouโre starting to become a famous screenwriter now. Going big soon?โโIt doesnโt change anything. Do you want to come here?โLeia paused upon receiving her invitation, then smiled. โDonโt worry. Iโll be there on your wedding day.โAfter the call ended, Freyja went downstairs and saw Deedee playing with Charm in the living room. She walked over and patted her head.โDeedee, do you want to go back and see your grandfather after the summer break?โDeedee looked up. โGrandpa?โโYes. He will 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
