Anya’s POV:Emily opened the door, and Kester walked in, carrying several packages in his hands.“Anya, I have brought you some breakfast and some daily necessities…”Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes fell on Evan, and he paused.“What is he doing here?”“Kester don’t get me wrong! I don’t know what was wrong with him last night. He came all the way here.”Hearing that, Evan tightened his grip on my hand and looked at Kester tauntingly.“Anya and I are married. We don’t need someone else to tell us what to do.” he said.I struggled a little. “Evan, we are divorced already!”“We can still marry, can’t we?”“You are nuts. Let go of me!”Kester asked, frowning, “Anya, what is he doing here?”From the looks of his face, I knew he had figured out that Evan had spent the night here.Evan sneered, “Why can’t I be here?”“Kester, I will explain it to you later! Evan, you have to go! If you don’t, I will call the police!”Evan gulped and looked grimly at me. “Anya, I am going to as
Coral POV:When Old Mrs. Cater arrived at the hospital in the morning and found that Mr. Cater was missing, anxiousness pulsed through her veins, causing her to almost lose consciousness.“Where is Evan? Haven’t you found him yet?”“Last night, Mr. Carter insisted on driving out here. He wouldn’t allow anyone to follow him!”“You bunch of losers. If something happened to Evan, I will bury all you with him.”Old Mrs. Cater had a fit.Being in my 70s, she had a weak heart.Once she got mad, her heart would ache and her brain would be deprived of oxygen.Seeing this, her assistant swiftly whipped out an oxygen tank and put the mask on my face.After inhaling a few mouthfuls of oxygen she calmed down a little.“Hurry up and find him. We have to find him.”I quickly assured her, “Yes, yes. We are already looking. Kenny headed out with some people to look for Mr. Carter last night. I will call him now to ask him if he has found Mr. Carter.”Just then, Tina also hurried to the hospital. “Whe
Evan’s POV:Instinctively, Tina took two steps backward. Then, she stepped forward again and gripped my arm.“Evan, even… Even if Anya was the one who saved you ten years ago, are you going to throw away the relationship we have had for years?”I looked at her sternly and replied dryly, “Our relationship has been mistake since the beginning.”“No, it’s not! You can’t say goodbye to me for such a trivial thing! I won’t accept this. I won’t.”She got worked up as she swung my arm desperately.“You do love me, Evan! We are so in love. How can we break up so easily? I waited for you for six years, and now, you want to part with me?”Treas streamed down her face and her slim body was quivering nonstop.I felt a little bad as I knew I hurt her badly.“I will make it a for you with monetary compensation. Give me an amount.”I will agree to it as long as it is not too outrageous.Although we had dated for six years, I never once touched her.At least I didn’t harm her to take advantage of her
Mia’s POV:Seeing his tacit agreement, my heart jolted.When Tina came home last night, she had asked what she should do as it seemed like Evan was going to break with her.At that time I thought she was joking.But, now it seemed that Evan really did ask to break up.“What the hell is going on? Did you break up with Tina?”Evan let out a sigh of relief and made no reply.In an instant, I knew I had guessed correctly. Then, I immediately start creating a scene, crying out, “How can you do such a horrible thing to Tina? If anything happens to her, I’m going to hang myself at the doorsteps of Carter Corporation. You are so heartless. You have dated Tina for six years and wasted six years of her youth. And now you are leaving her like this. You are so merciless. I’m not going to live anymore!”Hearing that, Frank sighed deeply. With a sad face, he tried to pursue me, saying, “We’re at the hospital. Don’t make a scene. Let’s wait till Tina’s operation is over first.”“I don’t care! If any
Anya’s POV:I could overlook it when others did not believe me or reprimanded me.However, seeing that my father didn’t believe me, still made my heart ache.Since young, I always worked hard and tried my best to excel in everything, so that I could get my father's approval.However, no matter how hard I tried, my father had always been cold and indifferent to me. He never praised me, nor did he even give me fatherly love.Now, I had finally accepted the fact.I no longer wanted to please him any more expect anyone to nourish me with love.“Dad, I’m not hooking up with Evan Carter. I had no idea they had split up.”I was pissed off.Evan had made my life difficult for the past two days.I also broke my arm because of him.However, instead of criticizing him, everyone was blaming me.Mia scoffed and lashed out. “Humph! You didn’t know. Why would you be here if you don’t know? If you don’t seduce Mr. Carter, why would he go to see you in the middle of the night? If it were not for you,
Evan’s POV:“Tina! You must wake up! What I’m supposed to do if you don’t wake up.” Mia said, crying out loudly.Frank raised his eyebrows and patted me on the shoulder. “Evan, you have been with Tina for six years now. You have a complicated relationship with both of my daughters. So, you should think about how to resolve it. You have hurt Tina before, and she can’t take being hurt again.”I frowned.Mia whimpered. “Evan, you must be responsible for Tina. She is a nice and innocent girl. She is different from other women. She already has a relationship with you. You can’t hurt like that.”Hearing that I draw in a breath. I wanted to say that I didn’t do it with Tina, but I swallowed it back.It was pointless to talk about it anymore.After all, we had been dating for six years. Nobody else would believe me if I said I hadn’t had sexual intercourse with her.But the truth is, I had never touched her.When I was in need, I spent money on other women.When we were done, I paid them and
Anya’s POV:“Have you completed the discharge procedure?” I asked.Kester frowned and said in a concern. “I haven’t done it yet. You are hurt so badly. I still think you should stay in the hospital for a few more days.”Hearing that, I persisted in getting out of bed. “No! I can’t stay in the hospital. Ora will be scared if she doesn’t see me!”“All right, then. I will fill out the paperwork for your discharge.” Kester said helplessly.“Okay!”After half an hour later, Kester completed the discharge procedure.Till then, I also changed my clothes. Since I have a splint on my arm, it was a little inconvenient for me to do.After Kester returned with my medicines and sundries, we were ready to leave.As we opened the ward door, my father suddenly appeared at the entrance.I was surprised to see him, “Dad…”“Anya, what are you doing?”Perhaps because I didn’t get enough fatherly love as a child, his simple greeting warmed my heart.Thinking that he came to see me, I said, “Dad, I’m alrig
Anya’s POV:After returning home, I saw that the house had already been tied up. And I know that Kester must have sent someone to do so.“Anya, I think you should move! I still have a mention in Black Hollow Bay. “It’s vacant, so you can just move in!”“No thanks! I’ve troubled you enough already. I should not disturb you anymore!”“How would that be troubling me? The house is empty anyway. Its perfect for you!”“No! It’s too far for me and my workplace!”Kester sighed and stopped insisting. Eventually, he gave in and said, “Okay. Just let me know if you need anything.”“Thank you, Kester!”“There you go again! How many times do I have to tell you that you don’t have to thank me!”Hearing that, my feelings become even more complicated. ‘Kester treated me so well. I just wish I know how to repay him.’ I thought inwardly.As soon as opened the door, Emily ran towards me with red eyes. “Miss Walter, you are back!”“Where is Ora!”“Ora has a fever! I was just about to call you!”When I he
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
Kester’s POV:I might be a playboy, but I was not a ruthless, cold-hearted man.Although I had no love for Ellen, I had been with her for so long after all. I couldn’t possibly give her a single cent.“I will give you ten million as a compensation. Go and abort the child immediately.”She was stunned and cried even harder, “Mr. Helsen, I don’t want money. Can you let me give birth to the child? I swear, I won’t disturb your marriage.”“Don’t say anymore. I’ll take you to the hospital now and get rid of the child. Ellen, you’re still very young. Then there are still many opportunities to meet better men. Don’t let a child ruin your whole life.” I rejected Ellen’s request firmly.“Alright, since you don’t want this child, I will abort it. Transfer the money!”I frowned deeply. “No, I want to go to the hospital with you.”“What if I abort the child and you don’t give me the money?”“Am I that kind of person? Don’t worry. The moment you get on the gynecological chair, I will transfer the
Kester’s POV:I had to settle the matter with Ellen as soon as possible. It had not been easy for me and Anya to get to where we are today. I couldn’t afford to let anything go wrong again.The next day, Ellen arrived at my home early in the morning.In the past, she often comes here to spend the night. So, she was very familiar with this place.I had just woken up when the servant, Zena, came in to report to me. “Mr. Helsen, Miss Ellen is here.”Hearing that I couldn’t help but frown. I had told her yesterday I would meet up with her, but I didn’t ask her to come to my house.To my dismay, she comes to my house.“Take her to the living room.”“Sure.”I hurriedly put on my clothes and went downstairs.In the living room, Ellen was still dressed provocatively and looked alluring as usual.She was wearing a spaghetti-strap dress and high heels. She h
Kester’s POV:Beep! Beep! Beep!Right at that moment, my phone rang. I picked up my phone and saw that it was called from Ellen. My expression changed at once. I immediately said, “Anya, I have to take this call.”“Mm-hmm.”“Hello?”On the other end of the line, Ellen laughed, “Mr. Helsen, congratulations.”I frowned, “Why did you call me?”“Nothing much. I just miss you.”“Why are you looking for me? If there is nothing, I am ending up calling.”“Hey, don’t end the call yet. I need to see you regarding some urgent matter!”“What is it?”“I can only tell you when I meet you in person.”“What on Earth is it?”“I told you, I will tell you when I meet up with you.”I was even more flustered. “I don’t have time to meet up wit
Anya’s POV:Once Tin had spoken, no one dare to say anything else.In the Helsen family dining hall, everyone sat around the long table.It felt like some kind of reunion party.Tim liked usually lively atmosphere. Usually, when he ate, he would have his whole family with him.The food was apportioned beforehand, and the servants would serve each plate to everyone.As for me, this was the first time I was eating at the same table with so many people.During the entire meal, I felt as if my back was drenched in sweat.After meal, Tim summoned me and Kester to the study.After all, his son was getting married. As a father, he naturally had something to say.“Kester, since you and Anya are getting married, you have to get along well with each other in the future! This is a small gift I prepared for you. I wish you two a happy marriage.”As he spoke, he handed a bank card to his son.“There are twenty million dollars in this card’s account. Take it as my wedding gift to you two. Use it to
Anya’s POV:The Helsen family was a big, influential family and a preeminent family in V city.Although, I was also the well-born daughter of wealthy family, I was married before. In the eyes of Helsen family’s elders, this was completely unacceptable.In particular, my reputation was not very good. I was considered fairly infamous in V city and X City.Kester’s third aunt, Yasmine Helsen also seized me up arrogantly, “Welcome, Miss Walter!”“Our Helsen family has more family members and also more rules. If you want to marry into our Helsen family, you have to abide by our Helsen family’s rules.”I subconsciously frowned a little.They were flexing their muscles to intimidate me.“Anya, this is my stepmother, Madam Genevieve!” Kester carried on with the introductions.After one round, just the elders alone already made up more than ten members.“Please take a seat.”“Oh, thank you.” I sat down at the table somewhat nervously.More than ten pairs of eyes looked at me in union like scan
Anya’s POV:The next day at six in the morning, Evan was still asleep.I quietly left the hospital.Today I had to go to V city with Kester. I had to go back and pack.After leaving the hospital, I rushed back home. I took a shower and put on some light makeup. Then, I changed into a set of clean and appropriate clothes.Just as I was done, my phone rang.Beep! Beep! Beep!“Hello, Kester.”His warm voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Anya, are you up?”“Ohh, I am up!”“Then shall I go over and pick you up now?”“Mm-hmm! Sure!” I ended the phone call and hurriedly blow-dried my hair.As I had not slept the night before, the areas around my eyes were slightly darkened. I could only carefully apply some beauty balm cream.Half an hour later, the doorbell rang. Kester had arrived.“Miranda, go get the door.”“Alright,” Marinda replied and quickly went to open the door.Outside the door, Kester was wearing a black suit. He looked very dignified and formal.Marinda greeted him p
