MY NAME IS DAISY - NOT A BAD DUCK
31. Be aground

A traditional tavern on the banks of a small, clear watery river with a view of the expanse of orchards is the best choice for a stopover after touring the city.

"Later in the afternoon, you go to the foundation?"ask Maxi.

"So, Max. The chairman of the Allesio foundation has asked for time since two days ago through miss Gaby" Daisy replied.

"I also want to meet with the children of the foundation" Daisy continued.

"A part of Alessio's hospital income has been allocated to meet the needs of the foundation since my father was still around. Thank goodness it continues today"

"Thanks to Grandpa who always makes sure everything goes as usual" Daisy smiled with all the help she had done

"After coming back from England what are your plans, Max?" Daisy turned her gaze towards Maxi.

"After my business is done in England. I'm planning on building a winery here" Maxi said, making Daisy very happy to hear.

"Thank you?" ask Daisy.

Maxi nods.

"Most of the assets there will be sold and diverted to manage the business here only. Unless one plantation is the result for the needs of my parents' social foundation there, it will still run there" Maxi said.

Daisy was amazed to hear that.

"Yesterday I was assisted by Edoardo's grandfather to find plantation land in Amber city or in the next town. Wait for more news" Maxi continued.

"In addition to the plantation, I also plan to establish a riding school and horse farm" said Maxi.

"That's so cool, Max" Daisy looked at Maxi with a fluffy smile.

"The new two are business plans that I will live with in the near future. Maybe in the future there is another business" Maxi returned Daisy's smile. Then look at the clean watery river in front of the shop.

"At this time there is a social foundation for orphans and cannot afford, it has been running for almost three years in the city of Brown" said Maxi. Back to make Daisy surprised. He doesn't know if Maxi has a social foundation.

"When I was a baby, my parents opened up deposit savings in my name that could be availed if I was twenty. And that's a huge number. I expressed my desire to open a social foundation to Luca's father and mother. They were so happy and helped me make it happen" Maxi was still staring at the clear stream.

"You're great, Max" muttered Daisy patting Maxi's hand gently.

"I hope that kindness will continue to flow for my parents there. As well as the good your parents have done until now, may it continue to flow for them" Maxi murmured.

They both fell silent. Remembering both parents in different memories.

"What do you want to drink, my Daisy?" Maxy asked.

Daisy wakes up from her daydream.

"I'm sorry, I got you in the daydream" Maxi muttered gently on Daisy's back.

"It's okay, Max" Daisy said.

"Have you ever eaten Amber Bridie?" ask Daisy. Maxi frowned while shaking his head.

"Bridie is the everyday name of people here to call bread. Derived from the word bread"Daisy explains.

"It's usually stuffed with minced beef or vegetables" Daisy continued.

Daisy ordered two bridies and two cups of honey apple tea.

Then reach for his phone to contact Clarissa who plans to go to the Alessio foundation.

"Max, I called Clarissa for a second. Ascertaining whether he will come or not" Daisy told Maxi, who was nodding her head.

"Clarissa just said we were invited to lunch at uncle Roger's villa. Aunt Kelly invited us" Daisy put her phone back in the bag.

"I'll get a dozen amber bridges for Kelly's aunt" Daisy rushes to reorder the Amber Bridie for lunch.

"Daisyku, the date of our engagement party has been approved by Grandpa" Maxi showed a chat from her father informing them of the date of their engagement party.

"Oh yeah?" Daisy looked up to read the chat.

"I'm so happy" muttered Maxi.

"Me too" Daisy smiled.

Two days ago, her parents contacted Maxi and Daisy to discuss the matter. They quickly set the date and all. After Maxi and Daisy agree on a date, her parents will talk to her.

"Mom contacted the event organizer to help with our party. It was my mother's spirit" muttered Maxi.

"Aunt Victoria loves you so much, Max" Daisy said.

"And he's very happy. He once said that now I am cheerful and smile often" Maxi said.

"Aunt Victoria's right. You were so fierce, Max. Even while helping me from Marie, Cleo and Joane's annoyance, your face was always fierce and never smiled" Daisy muttered making Maxi laugh softly.

"I always thought you were nice but annoying and sometimes scary" Daisy continued.

Maxi laughed as she pinched Daisy's cheek slowly. Makes Daisy grimace.

"I've already explained it to you. I used to be so insecure about showing that I really liked and cared about you. I was just pretending to be fierce" Maxi said.

"But I can't leave you alone if there are three girls. I even wait for you to come out of the house every morning. Peeping from my room. Even if you just saw you walking from your house to the car that drove you to school, it made my heart happy all day" Maxi half-whispered.

Daisy flabbergasted then chuckled.

"You don't believe it?" Maxy asked.

"Because you said it straight away I believe, Max" said Daisy

***

David was silent reading the email Hugo sent.

Maxi is not the granddaughter of the Edoardo family. He was the niece of Victoria Lewis, the son-in-law of the noble Edoardo. Maxi's mother was named Catherine 'can handlewis and her father was named Sir. Edward Hamilton's. Maxi's parents died in a car accident.

Maxi's full name is Sir Maxi Edward Hamilton, the son of Sir. Edward Hamilton's. Heir to the Hamilton Group business empire in the UK.

Maxi and Daisy plan to get engaged soon. There is even an Event organizer service company that is hired for their engagement event in the next month.

Information obtained from various sources that are very trusted.

David read the email with disappointment. His hopes of getting Daisy have run aground.

He's already guessing that Maxi and Daisy's relationship isn't a cousin one. Yes, they are lovers. Very clearly visible gaze and attitude of Maxi who is full of love to the girl.

David took the camera. He moved a file containing photos of Daisy he took this morning in the woods.

Because the external hard disk is lost somewhere so every photo in the camera must be immediately transferred to the laptop to be safe. Even though the photo data on the hard disk is missing very much. Although there are no secret photos, but the photos mean a lot to him. Every time he travels anywhere, he never forgets to capture every moment and scene with his camera. And all stored on that hard disk.

He looks back at the photos of Daisy on his laptop. Should he remove it?, David thought with a sense of worry.
