Chapter 2021 Edison left Taylorton, and everything had returned to normal. Daisie sat on the couch for a long while. As she stroked the diamond ring on her finger, a bad feeling rose from her stomach pit. She feared that the nightmare she had that night would come true.
Suddenly, her phone rang and shattered the silence. She thought Nollace was calling her, so she quickly picked it up. However, when she saw it was Zephir, her smile disappeared. She hesitated for a moment before answering the call, “Zephir?”
Zephir was standing in front of the window, teasing the budgerigar with a feather. “I‘m so sorry for the trouble I caused you last time I asked you to dinner, but I‘ll clear it up for you.”
Daisie smiled. “I‘ll be counting on you then, Zephir.”
Zephir was stunned and squinted.
‘So she wants me to clarify it for her?‘ When Zephir fell silent for a long while, Daisie asked, “Zephir? Are you there?”
Something crossed Zephir‘s eyes as he looked into the distance through the window. “Yeah. Anyway, I need to go now.”
He hung up the call. His gaze was deep as he stood as stiff as a ramrod in front of the window. The budgerigar at the side jumped up and down and shouted, “Daisie! Daisie!” Zephir turned his head to look at it. He caressed its feathers and then strangled its neck. The budgerigar struggled by fluttering its wings, but his eyes had no emotion.
“Unfortunately, she isn‘t mine.”
Zephir left the room, and the wind blew off the feathers that fell on the windowsill.
At the Seaview Villa…
Daisie came to visit Freyja, and the maid said she was in her room. When she pushed open the door to Freyja‘s bedroom, Freyja was sitting on a chair, looking into the distance through the window. She did not know if it was because of the sunlight, but Freyja looked pale and frail. “Freyja?”
Freyja heard her voice and turned her head around. She forced a smile onto her face and said, ” Daisie, you‘re here.”
Daisie sat at the side and said, “I‘ve come to see you. It has only been a few days, but why have you become so skinny?“.
Freyja touched her cheek. “Really?”
“You‘re pregnant, so you need to take care of yourself. You‘ve got to eat more. Look at how
skinny you are,” Daisie said as she rested her chin on her palm. “I heard that pregnant women are supposed to be fatter.” Freyja couldn‘t help but chuckle. “That will only happen when my stomach grows bigger.” Daisie stared at her stomach and asked, “Is it hard to carry a baby?” Freyja replied, “Not really. It actually varies from person to person. For me, I keep feeling nauseated during this pregnancy.”
After she finished speaking, Freyja smiled and placed her hand on her stomach. However, she suddenly remembered something, and her smile froze. ““You want them not to have a mother too?“) Daisie noticed the changes in her expression and asked, “Freyja? Are you alright?” She snapped herself out of her trance and shook her head. “Yeah. I just feel a little tired.”
Daisie held her hand and said, “Then get some rest. I shouldn‘t bother you anymore.”
Just when Daisie stood up and was about to leave, Freyja called out to her. “Daisie…”
She turned her head around. “Yeah?”
Freyja wanted to tell her about Nollace, but she could not. After she hesitated for a while, she bit her lips and said, “Nothing. Take care when you‘re on your way home.”
Daisie waved her hand. “Alright.”
When Daisie arrived at the courtyard, she bumped into Colton and his bodyguard. They just got out of the car and didn‘t seem to notice her as they were talking in front of the car. Daisie wanted to walk forward and greet them when she heard the bodyguard say, “Sir, I‘ve already passed the death news of Mr. Knowles to Mrs. Pruitt.” Colton replied indifferently, “As long as she believes that Nollace is dead, even if Donald is suspicious of it, he‘ll send someone to tie up all the loose ends when he comes to pick her up.
