Evan’s POV:When I dialed back the customer service voice came from the other end of the land, “Hello, the phone you are trying to reach has been switched off….”“Fuck!” I said and threw the phone on the table and panted heavily.‘This damn woman didn’t take me seriously at all!’In the past, she was so submissive and humble in front of me, but now she dared to be so arrogant. Indeed, women could not be spoiled!“Mike track Anya’s current location,” I said.“Okay, Mr. Carter!” Mike said.After receiving the order, he left and Coral happened to come in. The two of them looked at each other anxiously and hurriedly went about their own business.“Mr. Carter, the phone is fixed!” Coral said.“Bring it here!”“There you go,” he said, respectfully handing the phone over.Anya’s phone had been fixed. The password had been unlocked, and the data had been restored.I turned on the phone and scrolled through it.This was her personal phone and a contact list only including several people, such
Evan’s POV:After I came to M city, I punished Anya for leaving me behind. Only then, I felt a little better.However, after I waited for more than twenty minutes, Anya didn’t come out of the bathroom. Thinking that something was not right, I went over and knocked.“Boom! Boom! Boom!”I knocked on the bathroom door heavily a few more times and shouted, “Anya, what are you doing in there? Get out now! If you keep staying inside, I will break in!”However, she didn’t reply or open the door.Holding my breath, I leaned over to hear a sound. However, when I didn’t hear any sound, I panicked and kicked the bathroom door open.Then, I turned on the lights.Anya curled up in the bathtub and her eyes were tightly shut. Her face was completely soaked in the water in a bathtub.“Anya what are you doing?” I asked.However, she didn’t reply. It seemed that she had already passed out.Seeing this my heart skipped a beat, and I hurriedly pulled her out of the water.“Anya… Anya…” I shouted.However
Anya’s POV:I slightly rolled my eyes and became conscious. I tried to get up the lay back after struggling to force myself up.At that moment, Evan hurriedly went forward to help me get up, saying, “Anya, what do you want? I will do it for you.”I looked at him and asked weekly, “Where I am?”“You are in the hospital.”Hearing this I cried out, “Hospital? Why I’m in a hospital?”He held my hands tightly and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes. He said, “Anya, I am sorry. Please don’t do such a thing again. Do you hear me? You almost scared me to death!”As he finished his words, his eyes turned red.It took me a while to recall what happened last night.‘I remembered, I probably had a depression attack when sitting in the bathtub. Then I didn’t know why I passed out.’“What time is it now?” I asked.“Its after 10:00 o’clock in the morning.” he said.Hearing that I was shocked and cried out, “What? Is it already after 10 o’clock?”Then. I struggled to sit up.I had made an appoi
Evan’s POV:Hearing Ron's words, I hurriedly left the room.“Josh rarely calls me. He must have an important message if he called me.”Thinking that, I quickly called back, “Hello?”On the other end of the line, Josh said anxiously, “Yes, Mr. Carter. Mrs. Carter doesn’t feel well and wants you to go back to the Carter Mansion immediately.”“What wrong with Grandma?” I asked.“Mrs. Carter’s condition had returned and the doctor had already arrived.”Hearing Butler’s words I immediately felt anxious and said, “I am going back home now!”“Noted, Mr. Carter!”After hanging up the phone, I was about to leave in a hurry. However, I suddenly thought of Anya and went back to the ward again.“Anya, I have got a bit of an emergency. I need to rush back home. You…”“Just head home now. No need to worry about me!” she replied coldly.I ordered, “Rose, Ron, you guys stay here and take good care of Anya. Call me if necessary.”“Yes, Mr. Carter. No worries.”I didn’t have time to say anything else.
Tina’s POV:When I came to meet Paul, he said excitedly, “Tina, I fixed the car.”“Really? You had fixed it so fast?”He uncovered the hood and pointed at the repaired Maybach, saying, “Look, it’s as good as new.”I glanced at it and realized that the car was indeed fixed.“I asked you to take the car it to a car dealer. How come they finished the repair so soon?” I asked.“Well, it will cost a lot if I take it to the car dealer. Besides, I have to fill out all kinds of documents. Look, I only spent $1000 to repair the car.” He said.Hearing that I shouted angrily, “What? Did you take the car to a random car repair station?”“Relax! My friend has been repairing cars for more than 10 years. He can repair any car this car. This car’s front cover is dented, and a layer of paint is chipped. It will become as food as new as long as we fix the dented part and sprayed layer of paint, See?” he said.I angrily stomped and rushed to check the front of the car.At first glance, the car seemed pe
Paul’s POV:I was still naked, standing there when a few people barged into my house.There are local gangsters and I had taken a lot of loans from them.Seeing them, my face turned pale. “Lucas, what brings you here?” I asked.Holding a cigarette in his mouth, he patted my shoulder, saying, “Hey, well done kid. You have got such a beautiful girlfriend!”“Yeah. You are so lucky to get such a beauty. She is pretty that she almost looks like a superstar.”Hearing their words, I know that they must have seen Tina.This gangster all thought that the woman they saw was just now gorgeous. But they would have thought that she is the Walter family's second daughter and Evan Carter’s fiancee.After all, this was a slum, and none of them would believe a decent woman would come here. Besides, she hung around with a guy like me.Hearing that I turned pale and my voice was shaking. “Well, there is no such a thing. She is just one of my friends.”“A friend? Haha!” Those all laughed in disdain.Hear
Evan’s POV:After Tina arrived at the Carter Mansion, Josh led her into the house. “Mr. Carter, Miss Walter has arrived.”“Okay!” I repaired it coldly.Looking at me uneasily she asked, “Evan, here is your car key.”I took it and said, “Grandma wants to see you.”“Oh, okay! How is your grandma? Is she feeling better?” she asked.I didn’t say anything and just strode forward to lead the way.Soon, I brought her into Grandma’s room.With the help of the nurses and doctor, Grandma moved from the bed to a wheelchair.“Grandma, Tina is here to visit you,” I said. Saying that I put my arms around Tina’s shoulder, trying to be like we are close.‘Grandma is seriously sick now. All I want to make her happy.’ I thought.Tina bent down and asked gently, “Grandma, are you feeling better?”“Yes, I am much better now.” Grandma looked at Tina and said in a hoarse voice.Then, she looked at me and said, “Evan, go get my jade jewelry.”“Which set of jewelry?” I asked.“The emerald ones.”Hearing this
Evan’s POV:“Evan…”“Hurry up and cut the crap!” I urged impatiently.‘This is Grandma’s family heirloom. It should be for my wife. Grandma could not give it to Tina.”“Evan, Grandma gave this to me…” she said, sobbing.“This is a gift from Grandma for my wife!” I said coldly. In short, I am not going to marry her.Hearing that Tina looked at me as if she had been stuck by lighting, her eyes widened. “Evan, what do you mean by that?” she asked.I pondered for a few seconds and frowned. “The literal meaning!” I replied.Tina’s eyes were filled with fear and disappointment. Her voice is shaking. “Are you saying that you wont marry me?” she asked.I remained silent as I didn’t know what to say.“Evan, answer me now. You will marry me, won’t you?”I tried to explain, “Grandma seriously sick now, so I need you to cooperate with me, and we pretend to be loving couple in front of Grandma. We can have certificates if you want. However, you have to sign a prenuptial agreement. Also, don’t expe
Anya’s POV:I don’t know how long I have been unconscious.I suddenly woke up from my dream, “Kester… Kester…”“Anya, you are awake?”“Mommy, you are finally awake!”I opened my eyes groggily. What greeted my eyes was Miranda’s anxious expression, as well as Jason and Jerry’s adorable faces.“Jason! Jerry! Why are you here?”“Mommy, you are finally awake. Daddy send us here.”Upon hearing this, I struggled to sit up.“Anya, you are weak now. You must not get up.”Jason said with his tears, “Mommy, what’s wrong?”“Don’t be afraid. Mommy is fine. Where is Flora?”“Flora is sick. Daddy was afraid that there would be germs in the hospital. So, he didn’t let Flora come here.”“Where is Daddy?”“Daddy is waiting d
Anya’s POV:In the blink of an eye, Kester had stayed in the intensive care unit for two days.I also have been keeping watch outside the door for two days. Other than Miranda staying back to company me, everyone else had gone back.Tim was also advanced in years and didn’t continue to keep watch over Kester eventually. However, he comes to the hospital visit every day.“Doctor, how is Kester? Has he regained consciousness?”“Not yet.”“Can I go in and see him?”“Not yet, for now!”When I heard this, I stumbled and almost lost my balance.Miranda hurriedly supported me, “Anya, how are you?”“I am fine. I am just a little dizzy!”“Look at you. How can you take it if you carry on like this? Before Mr. Kester wakes up, you wouldn’t be able to take it anymore.”I tried my best to support my body and said
Evan’s POV:I also heard the news as well.When I heard that someone had fired a shot at the wedding, I was also terribly shocked.“Someone fired a shot at a wedding. Is Anya okay?”Coral reported, “I heard that Kester Helsen took a bullet for Miss Walter. Miss Walter is fine now. Kester Helsen is seriously injured and still in the hospital undergoing treatment. It was said that the bullet was 2 millimeters away from piercing his heart. He is not out of danger yet. Even if he wakes up, he will probably remain in a vegetative state in the future.”Hearing that I couldn’t help her gasped.Initially, I thought that no one could love Anya more than me. Now it seems that Kester loves Anya more than me.If I were in Kester’s shoes, I probably wouldn’t have instinctively taken a bullet for Anya in such an urgent situation.“Then, how is Anya now? Is she very sad?”&ldq
Anya’s POV:“Kester! Kester!” My eyes instantly widened as I threw myself into his arms and shook his body.“Kester, wake up! You must pull through!”The ambulance whizzed through the traffic without stopping for a moment.Less than ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived at the hospital.“Someone has been shot! Doctors, save him quickly!”The bodyguard carried Kester who was covered in blood and rushed into the hospital.When the doctor and nurses saw this, they were also badly shaken! After all in society, it was rare for people to be shot by a gun.Soon, Kester was sent to the emergency room.I followed him all the way. The white gown I wore was already covered in blood. I sank on the bench outside the emergency room, as if all my muscles and bones had been extracted.I was about to have a relapse. The depression that had troubled me for many years made me extremely di
Anya’s POV:I was also shocked, I was flabbergasted as I looked at Ellen.For the past few days, Kester had appeared uneasy and troubled. I had already guessed that something thorny must have happened.I had assumed that it was related to Evan all this while. I didn’t expect it to be connected to Ellen.Ellen walked up to me, “Miss Walter, I am now pregnant with Kester’s child. I don’t object to your marriage, but Mr. Helsen must give me and the child an answer.”I was dumbstruck. I couldn’t recover from my shock for a long time.“Anya, let me explain.” Kester instantly tried to explain.How was the truth right in front of my eyes? Any explanation would appear weak.“Oh, my goodness! Isn’t this the superstar Ellen?”“That’s right! I heard that Kester Helsen single-handedly groomed her until she became famous. So, she was also his secret lover.”“Gosh! There is going to be a good show to watch. Now, this is even more exciting than filming a movie.”“Tsk! Tsk! I didn’t come to today's w
Anya’s POV:On Kester’s side, many guests were attending the wedding, and there was also a special emcee to be a host for the wedding.The next day, I woke up early in the morning.The makeup artist and stylist began to work on my makeover. Rose, Daisy, and others had also changed into bridesmaids' dresses.As there were no elders present, Miranda stood in the elders on the bride's side.At eight o’clock in the morning, more than ten bridal cars set off in a majestic convey from the hotel.There was a joyous commotion outside the hotel. Kester bought more than ten groomsmen, and they headed for the hotel room together.“We are here for the bride.”“Mr. Helsen, we have to break the door down!” The groomsmen were causing a ruckus.The emcee directed the groomsmen as they livened up the atmosphere.There were not many bride-maids on my side. So, the bridegroom was not given a hard time. The room door was opened quickly.“Anya I love you.” Kester handed a bouquet to me.I smiled and took
Evan’s POV:Jenny was not my type at all, to begin with. In addition, I was feeling exasperated and didn’t want to say anything superfluous.When she saw my impatient look, she took a deep breath. “Evan, I know you are annoyed. But Miss Walter is already engaged. Why can't you let it go?”My eyes flickered. “Who said I can’t let it go?”“Evan, just let bygones be bygones! The weather is very good today. Why don’t we go out for a cruise in the sea?”“I am not in the mood!”“Evan…” Jennie tried to flirt coquettishly.Unfortunately, her actions made me even more disgusted. I have to work now. Please leave!”“Evan, I… I like you a lot. Can’t you just give me a chance?” She said.Jenny’s POV:I couldn’t care less about being reserved anymore and reached out to hug his arm.I had always been confident in my charm.However, I simply couldn’t conquer Evan.Nevertheless, I have always liked challenges with a high level of difficulty. The more unattainable a man was, the more I wanted him to kn
Evan’s POV:In the office, I sat on the leather chair. My face was terrifyingly ominous, but at the same time, it was ashen white.I had just undergone surgery yesterday. Although it was not a particularly major surgery, the scalpel was still used. It was very damaging to my overall well-being.Beep! Beep! Beep!Just then my phone rang. It was from Flora.“Hello, Baby!”On the video call interface, Flora leaned close to the screen. Her big eyes filled with worry, “Daddy, where are you now?”“What’s wrong baby?” My expression softened and revealed a trace of warmth.No matter how awful my mood was, as soon as I saw my daughter’s adorable face, all the awfulness instantly diminished considerably.“Daddy, did you not listen to the doctor? Did you secretly leave the hospital?” Flora looked with her big eyes. Her tiny face revealed a sensible manner that was incongruous with her young age.My eyes darted around. I didn’t want my daughter to worry and feel disappointed. “Er… No.”“Dad is ly
Anya’s POV:Around the evening, my phone rang.Beep! Beep! Beep!I looked at it and saw that it was called from Evan.“Kester, I have to take this call.”“Go ahead.”“Hello?” I walked to the bathroom and answered the call.Evan’s sullen voice comes out of the other end of the line. “Anya, where are you now?”I frowned and asked in a low voice. “What's the matter? Is there something urgent?”Evan said, “I want to see you.”“I am not free now. Let’s do it another day.”“No! Come at once. If you don’t, I will make you regret it.”Other than threatening me, Evan had no better way to get me to come to see him.“Evan, can you stop acting like this? If you continue to act like this, we can’t even remain friends anymore.”With that, I ended up the call.I couldn’t tolerate his foul habit of coercing me every time.I had already decided to marry Kester. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, I was duty-bound not to turn back.Evan’s POV:“Clatter!”After Anya ended the phone call, I slamm
