But that wasn’t the main point.The point was Nollace… had feelings for her! Daisie pressed her lips
together.
"I...I don’t believe you."
Nollace planted a kiss on her forehead.
At that moment, time stopped, but her heart was beating quickly.He stayed there.
"Do you believe me now?"
Daisie looked around, then slowly up into his eyes.
"I..."
There was a knock on the door.
Daisie pushed him away when Maisie and Nolan walked in.
"Are you done chang—"
Nolan’s face dropped when he saw Nollace there.
Daisie felt awkward.
"Dad, Mom."
Maisie cleared her throat.
"The party isn’t over yet.Go downstairs if you’re done changing."
"Alright, Pll do that."
Daisie immediately escaped like a shy bunny.
Nollace walked toward the two of them and nodded.
"Sir, madam."
Nolan’s eyes were dark.
"Don’t call me sir."
Nollace looked straight into his eyes and smiled.
"Should I call you father-in-law then?"
Maisie laughed but covered her mouth.This kid was pretty clever.Nolan’s veins started popping as he
ground his teeth.
"Mr.Knowles, be careful what you say." He nodded.
"Alright, sir."
They looked into each other's eyes as if a storm was about to begin.Maisie held Nolan’s arm.
"Alright, you’re not young anymore.There’s no need to argue with a kid."
"I'm not arguing, didn’t you hear him—" Maisie cut him off before he could finish.
"I think Nollace isn’t too bad.He’s smarter than you and isn’t blind."
She was referring to him being blinded by Willow.Nolan put his hand to his forehead.
"Zee, are we going that far back?"
"Are you tired of me already?"
"I wouldn’t..."
Nolan smiled.
"I’m sorry, honey.I'll let it drop."
"Go down.I want to speak to Nollace alone."
Nolan glared at Nollace before leaving.Nollace looked around and smiled.
"Madam, what do you want to speak to me about?" She walked to him.
"Daisie is my precious daughter, Nolan’s too.Her father and brothers have been spoiling her since she
was a child and did a lot of silly things.Now that she’s older, I’m less worried.But..."
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Nollace.
"She never had experience with relationships before.If you really can treat her right, I will be relieved.If
you hurt her, however, I won’t let you get away, no matter who you are."
Nollace looked down.
"Don’t worry, madam.I promise to you both that I will not change my mind."
"Don’t be too sure."
Maisie walked aside.
"You have a long life ahead of you, and no one knows what the future holds.You haven’t even finished
school yet, and you’re the heir of the Knowles family.After Daisie graduates, she will return to
Zlokova.Long- distance relationships don’t usually end well."
Nollace looked at her.
"I can expand the Knowles’ empire to Zlokova."
Maisie paused, then smiled and turned back to look at him.
"Don’t you think that it’s unfair if I ask this of you? "You want to be with Daisie, and instead of keeping
her in Yaramoor, you’re going to expand the empire to Zlokova.That’s not an easy task."
