Chapter 1752
Daisie’s heart shuddered, and she shook her head.
"No, I do believe—"
Nollace backed away and put some distance between them.He stood with the light behind him, his
features blurred by the light.She couldn't clearly see his expression.
"I didn’t take everything into account."
"Nolly— "
"It’s getting dark.Go back."
Nollace turned and walked to the car.He was cold, and that made Daisie extremely uncomfortable.
Daisie turned forward to hold him.
"Nolly, I believe in you.I just don’t want them to see you that way."
Nollace’s heart ached severely.He took a deep breath and said without looking back, "I don’t care what
they think about me.I care if you think of me the same way too."
"I don’t."
Nollace turned to face her, and he looked smaller under the darkness.
"Me wanting to marry you has nothing to do with the power the Goldmanns have."
Daisie held her breath as her heart ached too.
"I know."
"If you really believe me..."
Nollace didn’t finish his sentence.
He took a deep breath and suddenly hugged her and kissed her crown.
"Go home."
He then pulled away and left in his car.
Daisie froze on the spot, the wind messing up her hair.
Nollace looked at her through the rearview mirror, frowned, and sadness flashed across his eyes.He
finally leaned back and closed his eyes.He had been too impulsive and hadn’t taken everything into
account.
Why would the Goldmanss easily agree to his engagement with Daisie? Daisie never saw him again
after that night.
Someone who had contacted her every day had suddenly disappeared from her life.
Daisie sat in the library staring at the book but not understanding anything.She zoned out.She felt that
there was a hole somewhere and wasn’t used to that.
Freyja sat in the seat in front of her.
"Daisie?"
After a few tries, Daisie finally reacted with a forced smile.
"Yes, what’s wrong?"
"I should ask you that.You’ve been sitting there and not moving.What’s on your mind?"
Freyja placed her bag down.
Daisie was quiet.
The news report on the television suddenly showed an interview with Nollace.
The reporter asked if he was engaged to Ms.Vanderbilt.
Nollace was silent for a moment before answering, "No, I won’t be thinking about that soon either."
The hand with which Daisie was holding the book tightened.
Freyja looked away from the television and at Daisie, worried.
"Daisie..."
Daisie looked down and didn't react.
Daisie walked out of the library.
Freyja followed her and grabbed her.
"Daisie, wait."
Daisie stopped but didn’t look back.
Freyja walked in front of her and asked, "Weren’t Nollace and you getting engaged? Why did it—"
"Freyja, stop asking."
Daisie didn’t dare look up because she was afraid Freyja would see her tears.Freyja took a deep
breath and grabbed her shoulders.
"Was your family against it?"
Daisie shook her head, but a big tear rolled down her cheek.
"Daisie—"
Before Freyja could finish, Daisie wiped her tear and ran away.
Freyja watched her leave and frowned.She then walked quickly in another direction.
At the Business department...
Waylon sat in the car and kept checking his watch, seemingly waiting for someone.
Suddenly, a woman rushed over and blocked the window while pressing her hand on the door, "Get out
here, Colton.I have questions."
