Anya's POV:I was smiling, but tears kept falling. I simply couldn’t get enough to look at my two adorable sons.The two little fellows had grown taller and stronger.It seemed that the little fellows had a good appetite while they were away.“Mommy!” Flora also extended her arms to me.“Flora. come and let Mommy hug you.” I took my daughter from Evan’s arms and kissed her face.“Mommy, I miss you so much.”Flora was wearing a cute princess dress and had two little hair buns on her head. The hair buns resembled two snowballs and looked childish and cute!If it weren’t for the fact that she could not walk, she would look like a beautiful and adorable princess doll.When Evan saw the children and I was happy, his mood also improved. “Let’s go.”“Come, Daddy will carry you,” Evan said as he took Flora back into his arms.I let Jason and Jerry on either side of my body and walked to the parking lot.In the car, the children chattered excitedly.I listened to the children’s stories and smi
Anya’s POV:An hour later, the Roll-Royce luminous drove into the villa courtyard of Sherane Bay Villa and stopped in front of the luxurious green lawn.The servant at the door respectfully opened the car door. “Good day, Mr. Carter. Good day, Miss Walter.”“Yeah, we are finally home! Home is still the most comfortable.” Jerry eagerly got out of the car and played happily on the lawn.The children had been living here for half a year and were already used to living in a luxurious mansion.Sherane Bay Villa is a top-notch luxurious mention that resembles a castle externally.There was a garden, a swimming pool, and a children’s playground. At the back of the garden, a small, private horse riding arena has been built as well.The children had just learned how to ride horses and were especially interested in equestrian skills. When they were in Surbano, they were almost bored to death.“Let’s get out of the car.” Evan looked at me and said casually.I hesitated and didn’t move. “I had be
Evan’s POV:I had changed into a casual white sweatshirt and walked into the kitchen.Although I was the owner of the place, this was the first time I came into the kitchen. If it was not because Anya was in the kitchen, I probably wouldn’t even step into this place for the rest of my life.“Making dumplings for the children?” I asked casually.Anya was busy with the work on her hand. Without looking up, she replied curtly, “Mm-hmm.”My eyes darted back and forth, “Can you make me a plate of spaghetti?”“Are you hungry?” she sounded a little impatient.”Anya’s POV:I didn’t think there was anything special about the spaghetti I made. Moreover, this scoundrel Evan was a fussy eater and was very picky about wood. He was even more picky about the food made by a five-star hotel chef.I don’t understand why he likes to eat my spaghetti.He gave a scornful snort, “Of course, I am hungry. Otherwise, do you think I am asking you to cook it for display and decoration?”I pursed my lips. “Alrig
Evan’s POV:Anya continued to wrap the dumplings and could not even bother to look at me again.Anya refused to bicker with me and I was starting to feel bored again. More than that, I didn’t want to leave the kitchen. “Is there anything else I can help you with?”“No need! Get out!”“Let me help you wrap the dumplings.”I watched Anya wrapping the dumplings. The action seemed pretty simple, and I was eager to try my hand at it.Then I picked the piece of dough, picked up a small filling, and started to wrap.However, it was a classic case of someone having great ambition, but little talent. When I saw others do it, it appeared so simple. Yet when I tried it myself, it made me a complete mess.I struggled for a long time, but I couldn’t even wrap a single one.“Tsk, tsk, tsk, why are your hands so clumsy then your feet?” Anya said, extremely disdainful.“As long as it’s eatable it’s good enough.”“Go away!”“If you want to help, fill a pot with water and put it to boil. Get ready to c
Anya’s POV:Evan took the pasta scoop and tried to scoop the fettuccine out of the pot.Unfortunately, the long fettuccine strands seemed to be going against him. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t hold them firmly, and he could not open his eyes because of the steam.“I can’t even get this fettuccine out.” Evan couldn’t help grumbling again.“How dumb!” I walked over and scooped all the fettuccine out of the pasta scoops in a few moves.“Evan Carter, I really doubt your ability to use your hand!”“For God’s sake, I am very good with my hands, okay?” He retorted indignantly.He had always considered himself an all-rounder and would not accept anybody’s contradiction.“Now heat up the oil and saute the onions before adding the pancetta. Stir-fry until fragrant before tossing in the pasta with some pasta water. Add some pasta water to
Anya’s POV:After the servant left, Evan pouted and urged me, “You are not done yet. Continue!”“It’s okay now. You will be fine in two days.”“How is it okay? It still hurt a lot.” Evan said petulantly as he looked at me with an aggrieved expression.When I saw his reaction, I could not help but feel goosebumps erupting all over my body.I was still more used to Evan’s icy aloofness and overbearing demeanor.“Do it yourself.”He put his arm on my shoulder. “It hurt!” As he said that, he deliberately stumbled and pinned me against the kitchen counter. He looked at me with two blazing gazes.“Stop fooling around. Get off my quickly.” I felt that an electronic current had shot through my entire body as I hurriedly tried to push him away.Evan’s body seemed to possess some magnetic field. As soon as he approached me, I subconscio
Evan’s POV:As I watched Anya’s departing back profile, I lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.In the past, I would have tried my best to stop Anya from associating intimately with Kester.However, now it was no longer necessary.I would soon let Anya see Kester’s true color. At that point, I didn’t believe that she would still want to be with him.“Anya Walter, you are mine. You can only belong to me for the rest of your life.”Anya’s POV:I had just stepped inside the home when my phone rang again.“Hello, Kester.”On the other hand of the line, Kester’s worried voice comes from. “Anya, what are you busy with? Why didn’t you answer your phone for a long?”“Oh, I was busy outside just now and didn’t hear your call.”“Are you busy?”“Mm-hmm. A little!”“Don’t tir
Anya’s POV:After I reached the reception counter, I saw a large cardboard box on the floor.It was approximately half the height of a person.“Are you Miss Anya Walter?” the delivery guy asked politely.“Yes.”“This is your package. Please sign for it.”I looked at the box suspiciously. “What is it? It’s so big.”“Miss Walter, once you open it and take a look, you will know.”I scrutinize the package closely, suspecting that it was probably sent by Kester.“I will open it after work.”“Miss Walter this delivery box is so big. It’s impossible to move it without opening it.”When I heard that, I felt that it made sense.I might as well open it up for a look.“Do you have scissors?”“Here you go!” The reception staff quickly handed me a pair of scissors.I t
Evan’s POV:“It was almost Christmas.”“Yeah, it's already the 20Th today. It will be Christmas in five days,” I said, as I subconsciously took two cigarettes from my pocket.Just as I was about to light up, I remembered that Anya had told me smoking, so I held it in.“You can smoke if you want.”“Forget it. It's not good for you to inhale second-hand smoke.”As I spoke, I continued to look at Anya’s abdomen. “Why is no news yet?”“What?”I teased, “What do you think?”She then glared at me in frustration. “We already have three children. We won’t have any more.”“Who says that? I want three more.”“Three more? Do you think I’m a psychological machine?”“Even having just one would be fine. When Jason, Jerry and Flora were born, I was not by their side. I didn’t even have to see them as babies. So there is still some regret.”“Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s all in the past.”“Do you still hate me?”“I don’t hate you anymore.”I chuckled, “Nonsense! You wanted me dead before, a
Tina’s POV:As Zachary spoke, I abruptly rose to his feet, casting an uneasy gaze at Evan. He seemed to suspect that Evan had arrived to hold him accountable for something.“I heard that something happened to Jenny, so I came over.” After Evan finished speaking, he gestured for his assistant to hand over the flowers and nutritional supplements.Seeing this, Zachary felt a little more at ease. “Oh, so that’s how is it.”I smiled at Anya. “Anya, you are here to see Miss Garcia too?”Anya looked at me in surprise. “Tina, why are you here too?”“I am now Mr. Garcia’s secretary. Of course, I have to serve Mr. Grace 24 hours a day.”“Are you tired?”I smiled sweetly, “No! Mr. Garcia treats me very well.”“That’s good!” Anya patted my shoulder gently.I looked at Evan sweetly and said, “Hello, Mr. Carter!”Evan didn’t seem to hear me. He only looked at Zachary’s forehead, “What happened to your head?”“Oh, it’s nothing. I accidentally bumped into it!”Evan looked at him with a half smile, hi
Zachary’s POV:Once my parents were out of sight, I could no longer keep up the facade.Agonizing, I clutched my head and desperately exclaimed, “Sigh, what am I supposed to do? If Jenny awakens and reveals the truth to our parents, how will I handle it?”Witnessing my distress, Tina let out a cold snort, her skepticism evident. She rebuked, “She has not even regained consciousness yet! How can you be so certain she will wake up?”Those words indicate fire within me, causing my anger to erupt instantly. “Tina, that’s enough! What are you insinuating? Are you secretly hoping my sister won’t wake up?” I exclaimed in furry.“I never said that.” She retorted defensively.“She is my sister. How dare you to curse her like that?” I questioned in a fury.She responded sarcastically, and her tone dripped with malice, “Aren’t you the one who worried about
Evan’s POV:In the blink of an eye, it was already noon. The passage of time reminds us of the pressing task at hand.I checked the time on my watch, my gaze shifting from the ticking hands to Anya. “It's already noon. Let’s go for lunch.” I said as I suggested.“Okay,” she replied in acknowledgment, her weariness evident in her voice and the slight rubbing of her tired eyes, her dedication to the work task is unwavering.The two of us left the office. Our footsteps echoed through the corridor.Coral approached us with a serious expression, interrupting our thoughts and reporting. “Mr. Carter, I heard that Miss Garcia fell down the stairs. She is currently in the hospital.”“Really? When did it happen?” I replied in surprise.“It happened a couple of days ago. I heard her injuries are severe, and she still has not regained consciousness.” Coral informed, his voice
Anya’s POV:In the office, I took a deep breath and exhaled. “Evan, did I overreact just now?” I asked, my voice filled with uncertainty and self-doubt.“No, your performance was excellent,” he said, giving me a thumbs up, his eyes shining with admiration.“Really? Don’t lie to me,” I pleaded.“Why are you losing confidence now?” He said, hooking his arm around my waist, drawing me closer. He looked at me affectionately and indulgently as he gently lifted my chin, his touch reassuring and comforting.“Last night, you deliberately pretended to be asleep and didn’t do the assignment. Now you must make up for it.” He said his voice teasing, his hands playfully wandering. A mischievous glint sparkled in his eyes.I frowned and turned to the side. My frustration is evident. “Oh, come on. Can you not be childish? Seriously? Can you act more maturely?” I asked my tone a mixture of expression and logging for seriousness.“How I am immature?” He replied nonchalantly, his eyes filled with tende
Anya’s POV:The previously grumbling individuals suddenly became dejected resembling mute statues.Evan had made it clear that anyone who opposed him would be kicked out of the Carter Group.Who would dare to speak up now?“Alright, I have finished speaking.” Evan said, his eyes looking at Mr Collen, “If anyone has any objection or opinions, please speak up now.”“You,” He pointed at Mr Collen as he said, “You want to express your opinion earlier. Now is this time.”“Mr. Collen’s throat tightened and he stammered, “Uh, well… I have no objection. I fully support Mr. Carter’s decision.”Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in shock.Author’s POV:He was the one who had been most vehemently opposing the decision just now, rallying everyone to join the opposition.But now, as soon as the threat of expulsion from the cartoon group was aroused, he was the first to back down.Sing that everyone remains silent, Liam couldn’t sit still any longer. He said carefully, “Evan, it's not that
Anya’s POV:I began to feel inexplicably nervous at the conference room entrance, my heart pounding rapidly, “Evan,” I whispered, my voice filled with unease. I am still a bit nervous. Will they give me a hard time later?”He chuckled and adjusted the collar of my shirt as he quietly encouraged me, “Don’t worry.” He said teasingly, “If anyone gives you a hard time, just summon the courage you had when you confronted me before.”He leaned closer and added, “You dared to challenge me, so why would you be afraid of them? Come on, show me a fierce look!”I glared at him. “It’s already such a critical moment, and you still have the mood to joke?” I retorted, my frustration evident.“Relax,” Evan said, his tone half-relaxed and half-serious, “No matter how formidable they are, can they be more formidable than me? Why would you be afraid of them if you dared to challenge even me?”He smiled mischievously and continued, “If anyone gives you a hard time, just hit back fiercely. If you can’t wi
Anya’s POV:Having fallen into the trap yesterday, the reporters were even more determined today. Their thirst for information from Evan was unquenchable. It seemed they would not give up until they achieved their goal.Contrary to his evasive attitude the previous day, Evan now calmly faces the camera lenses of the journalists. “Yes, I have officially passed on the position to the president of Carter Group to Miss Walter.” He revealed as he maintained a composed demeanor.“Miss Walter is now the new president of the Carter Group, feel free to interview her and ask any question,” Evan announced, his voice carrying a faint smile.With that, he smoothly pushed me into the spotlight, directly in front of the eager reporters.Camera flashes nearly blinded me and a sea of microphones thrust forward, each vying for my attention.“Miss Walter, can you confirm that you have taken over the Carter Group?” The reporter inquired, their voices filled with anticipation.“Is it true that you and Mr.
Anya’s POV:The Carter family’s dinner time was usually at seven in the evening. Evan used to work overtime often, so the children did not have to wait for him to come back for dinner.“Flora, how are you today? Are you feeling better?” Evan lovingly carried his daughter.Flora smiled sweetly, “Yes, I am much better now.”“Mm, From tomorrow onwards, Daddy and Mommy might have to stay longer at the company for work. I am afraid we won’t have much time to accompany you! Let Lillian take care of you, okay?”“Oh, alright!” Flora’s eyes lost bright suddenly.Seeing the disappointment in the children’s eyes, Evan smiled lovingly, “Daddy will take you out. Christmas when Daddy is done with work.”“Alright, it’s a deal.”“It’s a deal!”Evan had taken advantage of the limited time to hand over his work to me as soon as possible so that I could quickly familiarize myself with the company’s work model and management.Otherwise, when we were caught off guard, the consequences would be catastrophi
