Chapter 1748

Daisie gobbled a slice of pizza, picked up a can of Coke, drank it, and let off a contented sigh.

"Sure enough, chicken nuggets and pizza taste even better with Coke!"

Nollace could not help but laugh.

"You really don’t pick your food when you have something to eat, huh?"

She took a glance at Nollace, who did not eat much.

"My godmother once told me that we should be content and happy.It’s better to have something to eat
than to have nothing at all.Are you trying to hint to me that you’re a picky eater?"

Nollace stared at her and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I’m content just by watching you eat."

Daisie paused for a bit, and after a while, she picked up the bow] of dumplings, handed them to him,
and said softly, "You don’t like food that’s high in calories, so you should be able to eat these
dumplings.Don’t go back tonight and tell others that I’ve starved you."

Fried chicken nuggets and pizza were the things that she wanted to eat.But she knew that Nollace
would not like to eat them, so she had ordered some chicken dumplings for him.

Nollace stared at her, recalling the scene of her giving him cookies when they were trapped on the
boat.

Back then, he did not know how she had mustered the courage to take that risk with him.She was the
first person who claimed she would protect him when he was in danger.She was innocent and adorable



at that time, even though all the things she did back then were redundant.

But to him, her appearance and support were just right instead of superfluous.

Nollace lifted his hand and caressed her cheek all of a sudden.She froze, turned her head, and
exchanged gazes with him.

Nollace leaned forward and gave her a peck.

When they separated from each other, he wiped off the lipstick that had been smudged off her scarlet
lips with his fingertips.

"I’ve eaten them, and they taste very sweet."

Daisie’s cheeks flushed instantly.

She lowered her head and murmured, "What the heck are you talking about? I’m asking you to eat the
dumplings."

"I don’t want to eat dumplings."

He then approached her ear.

"I want to eat you."

Daisie’s cheeks were so warm she almost fainted.

She could not stand it whenever he teased her like this.She buried her head and whispered, "If you still
can’t act seriously, all you’ll get from now on...is a cold shoulder."

Nollace pressed his lips against her forehead, fiddled the ends of her hair with his fingertips, and
chuckled inadvertently.



"Apart from ignoring me, is there anything else?"

Daisie turned her face away.

"I haven’t thought about it yet."

"Then don't think about it."

Nollace pulled her into his arms, wrapped his arms around her waist, and supported her lower back
with his palm.

"Let’s think about our engagement first."

She was surprised.

"Do you want to think about it now?"

"Otherwise?"

Nollace rested his chin on the top of her head.

"Could it be that you really want me to get engaged to Zenovia?"

"No!"

Daisie blurted out.

When she heard a burst of laughter coming from overhead, she explained solemnly, "You can’t get
engaged to her as long as you’re still my boyfriend."

Nollace’s lips stopped right next to her auricle.



"Does that mean that it’ll be fine if I’m not your boyfriend?"

The breath that came out of his mouth felt slightly itchy.

Daisie’s neck twitched subconsciously, and she became incoherent.

"Anyway, it’s a no!"

Nollace buried his face in her shoulder and giggled so much that his chest quivered.

"It turns out that you’re quite a possessive girlfriend too."

She was startled.

‘Freyja seems to have said something similar to me"

Daisie did not know whether she was possessive toward Nollace or not.She only knew that she did not
like it when any woman tried to approach Nollace, and she would get furious when that happened.

Even if she saw his "scandals"

with other women, her emotions would inexplicably go out of her control.

The next day, all the magazines and newspapers in the city were all reporting about the showdown that
had taken place between Daisie and Zenovia at the banquet.

Almost all of them had a title that revolved around the idea of "Ms.Livingston mistakenly thought that
Ms.Goldmann was a Cinderella and got smacked in the face", or "Ms.Livingston intervened in
Ms.Goldmann’s relationship," and so on.
