Kisses started eating happily.โUrs, shouldnโt you be at school today?โโSomething seems to have come up in my professorโs home, and he asked for a one-day leave.โ Ursule looked at Yale. โI only come out here when I donโt have any class, donโt I?โYale chuckled. โItโs nice to be young.โUrsule only noticed Zephir at this time and was stunned for a few seconds. โHey, arenโt you... Oh, youโre the man who stays next door from last night, arenโt you?โYale glanced at Zephir. โDo you know each other?โโNo, no, Kisses escaped onto his balcony last night, so perhaps it disturbed him.โ Ursule gave off an awkward smile and thought of something. โBy the way, Mr. Quigg, he seems to have been staying here for quite a long time.โYale smiled. โYes, heโs been here for quite some time. My friend came all the way here from Bassburgh on vacation.โโBassburgh?โ Ursule sat down on the couch at this moment and asked with a curious expression, โIs Bassburgh fun?โZephir responded indifferently, โI
Because the homestay had a tavern and provided supper, the rest of the waiters would only come to work from 5:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m.The only part-time employee on the premises was Ursule, who would only come to sing for the customers at night, and helped in the homestay when she did not have class during the day. And because she was a young lady, the other employees took special care of her.If her performance were to end very late at night and it was rather inconvenient for her to take a bus, she would be allowed to stay in the homestay for the night.Everyone who lived and worked here would eventually grow familiar with each other as they got along slowly, to the extent that they would grow to cherish each otherโs existence.And Yale would arrange parties, staff meals, gift exchanges, and so on for his employees every holiday.Thus, instead of saying that where they stayed and worked was a homestay, it functioned more like a family that made everyone feel cozy and cherished.
Zephir lifted his head subconsciously, feeling that he had just been overwhelmed by a cat.Ursule bit the straw in her glass and chuckled. โKisses is just being a little over-enthusiastic, so donโt mind it, sir.โZephir held the troublesome cat away from his face and frowned. โSir?โโAlthough you look young, youโre about the same age as Mr. Quigg, arenโt you?โZephir was at a loss for words.โDid she misunderstand anything about my age?โHe looked down at the cat in his arms and gently stroked its soft fur. โYale is four years older than me.โโOkay, then letโs do some basic Math. Mr. Quigg is four years older than you, so youโre already 30 years old and 11 years older than me, so shouldnโt I address you as sir?โโI wasnโt even born yet when he was 11 years old.โZephir glanced at her.โSheโs indeed only a young adult.โโMeow!โ Kisses pulled at Zephirโs clothes with its paws and even poked its head deeper into his arms.Ursule was so frightened that she took it from him imme
As soon as Morrison said that, Leah made a stunning appearance in a champagne-colored low-necked long gown.Under the misty light, the slowly approaching figure gradually became clearer, with exquisite makeup on and a graceful temperament.Morrisonโs gaze was fixed on her, and his eyes could not help but move with her.โSorry to have kept you guys waiting.โ Leah stood in front of them with a smile on her face.Morrison suddenly returned to his senses, cleared his throat, and instantly took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.Leah was caught off guard by his abrupt action.Morrison explained solemnly, โThe air conditioners are on. Iโm afraid that youโll catch a cold.โLeah wanted to take off his jacket. โBut itโs very warm here.โโNo, you must be feeling very cold.โ Morrison held her hand, not letting her take the jacket off of her.Waylon and Cameron exchanged gazes and smiled helplessly.โLay.โ Benjamin came over and saw Waylon. โOh, Wayne, youโve come too.
Waylon walked up to the ice cream cart, and just when he was about to grab his wallet to pay, a few little kids glared at him. โSir, thereโs a queue here. You canโt just jump in.โHe paused for a split second, then leaned over and gazed at those children. โHow about this? Iโll buy each of you one more ice cream, and all you need to do is let me jump in line, okay?โThe children exchanged gazes.โThis seems to be a good deal!โAll of them agreed to Waylonโs suggestion in the end.Waylon bought an ice cream, then bought another for each of them while he was at it. After paying for all the ice creams, he took one out of the bunch and walked toward Cameron.Cameron could not help but chuckle out loud. โYou actually came up with such a method just to cut the queue?โHe handed the ice cream to her. โA problem that can be solved with an ice cream is never a problem to me.โCameron tore the ice cream open and tasted it.When the scorching summer weather was coupled with freezing ice c
Cameron raised her head and bit her fork. โSo, am I the only special one?โWaylon scooped her some soup. โYou also have a gluttonous mouth. Youโll eat anything if no oneโs there to stop.โShe bit her lip and said nothing.Nicholas let off a chuckle. โItโs good for pregnant women to eat more. When your grandmother was pregnant with your father, her appetite was as great as Camโs. She would eat whatever she saw. She even secretly hid snacks from me.โSpeaking of snacks hiding, Cameron felt guilty all of a sudden.Waylon caught the change in her expression and squinted. โAre you telling me that you hid some too?โShe denied it boldly. โNo! Do I look like someone who would hide snacks away? Thatโs absolutely impossible!โEveryone at the dining table laughed.โฆIn the blink of an eye, it was already the beginning of July. During Deedeeโs summer break, Brandon took her to Yaramoor, and Freyja also traveled there to visit Leia and Norman.They had both graduated as well, and Norman
At the Kong PortsโฆJames, who was shooting his next scene in the police station, sneezed three times in a row, and the actor who played the police officer across from him lifted his head. โAre you telling me that youโve caught a cold during such hot weather?โโI think someone must be badmouthing me behind my back.โThe actor teased him. โMaybe someoneโs thinking about you.โโThinking about me?โJames was stunned for a moment and trembled as that womanโs face flashed in his mind.โThis is absolutely impossible.โAfter the two joked around for a little, the filming officially started, and Ronny shouted, โAction!โThe actor who played the police officer immediately got into the role and smacked the notebook on the table. โStill pretending to be innocent? The cup that the deceased used has your fingerprints on it! So are you the one who spiked the drink with sleeping pills? Youโd better give me the truth now!โBecause James did not expect him to get into the scene so quickly, he b
โThanks man, youโre so generous.โAs soon as she said that, Yvonne saw the sipโs worth of broth in her cup, and the grin on her face faded. She could not help but roll her eyes.โWhen he said heโll pour me some, he did mean it, huh?โSeeing her expression, the actor who played the police officer could not help but laugh out loud and then said meaningfully, โEvie, he might have claimed that the broth comes from his family, but it might not be from his mother.โYvonne immediately understood what he meant. โPfft, I see. Itโs no wonder heโs being so stingy...โThe last sentence was whispered.After James finished drinking the soup, he frowned when he saw that the two were staring at him strangely. โWhatโs wrong?โโNothing, everythingโs fine. You enjoy your soup, Evie and I will stop bothering you.โThe actor and Yvonne exchanged gazes, and the two of them went back to doing what they were up to.On the other side of townโฆWhen Giselle returned to the apartment, Estelle came out o
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
