Nollace looked calm on the surface, but if he started scheming, she wouldn’t stand a chance.
Tristan would at least protect her because she had ‘saved’ him.
Nollace would be nice on the surface because of Tristan, but he probably wouldn't be nice to her
behind his back.
"Peter,"
Nollace looked toward the butler, "Give her all the more tiresome tasks.We don’t keep people who don’t
contribute here.Get the helpers to keep an eye on her.If she slows down, don’t give her water."
Peter nodded.
"Yes, sir."
Lisa sat down on the floor and ignored the pain on her face.She never had to work at home, but she
now had to do everything at the Knowles mansion.She had a lower status than a helper there, which
was worse than chasing her out of the house.
That wouldn’t work—she had to find a way to turn things around! The next day...
Daisie went downstairs with her bag and was going to the library to return some books.She stopped in
her tracks in the corridor because Nollace was standing under the tree in a clean, white shirt.
The light shone through the foliage, and his blurry face slowly sharpened.
Daisie walked toward him.
"Why are you here?"
He looked at her face.
"I’m waiting for you."
She turned away and mumbled, "I’ve already removed you from the block list.You can call me."
Why did he wait? Would he wait for the entire day if she didn’t leave her room? Nollace approached her
and teased her.
"What if you don’t pick up my call?"
Daisie looked at her shoes.
"I’m not that petty."
Nollace grabbed her hand and leaned in closer, then stared at her.
"So you forgive me?"
His breath touched her hair.
Thinking of yesterday's kiss made her turn pink, and she didn’t dare look at him.
Nollace ran his finger over the corner of her eyes.
She looked exceptionally pure when she was shy, especially due to her bright, beautiful, clear eyes.
It made him want to protect her and have her.
After a moment of silence, he let go of her hand.
"Come to the hospital with me."
Daisie was surprised and looked up.
"Are you sick?"
Nollace took the bag from her.
"It’s not me."
Daisie parted her lips but didn’t ask.
Edison parked the car outside the hospital.
Daisie followed Nollace and walked toward the private room.She stood outside, and before she
entered, the middle-aged lady who was lying in bed smiled warmly at her.
"Daisie’s here too."
That was Nollace's mother, Diana Sullivan, princess of Yaramoor.She was like the fairy tales, graceful
and beautiful.
Even though she was no longer young, her actions and etiquette showed that she wasn’t a commoner.
Daisie walked into the room and nodded politely.
"Nice to meet you, ma’am."
Diana smiled, still gentle.
"You can call me Aunt Diana."
She smiled shyly.
"Aunt Diana."
Nollace sat in the chair.
"Mom, how are you feeling?"
"I’m fine.The incision doesn’t hurt that much anymore.I'll be able to get discharged after resting."
She then looked at Daisie.
"I wasn’t able to attend your coming of age party because I was unwell.Your dad said he will hold a
small party when I’m discharged.Remember to invite Daisie."
Nollace smiled.
"Alright, I will."
They stayed there for a while before leaving.
Daisie tugged at his shirt in the corridor.
"Why didn’t you mention that your mom was in the hospital?"
