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
Anya’s POV:When I heard this, I immediately felt nervous inwardly.I turned around and saw Evan standing behind me. He was wearing a smart black suit, which accentuated his menacing iciness.“Why are you here?”He raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a sour manner, “I am here to celebrate your birthday.”My skin tensed up and my heart thumped furiously, “Thank… Thank you.”Evan and Kester locked eyes with each other as if they were preparing to cross swords.“Hah! You recover pretty quickly. You can already stand up so soon!”Kester straightened his back and his lips curled upwards slightly. “I am sorry for making you worry. I don’t dare to not stand up.”Evan gave a scornful sneer and took two steps forward. “That’s true. I was indeed worried.”The temperature instantly dropped to freezing point, and the two men seemed poised to come blows at any moment.When I saw this, I was so frightened that hurriedly stood in front of Kester. “Evan, don’t cause trouble!”This vile bastard w
Anya’s POV:I stood on the reef in a daze, breathing in the slightly salty and breezy sea air. In front of me, the blue sea stretched as far as the eye could see. From time to time, a few seagulls would fly over the ocean, and Coconut trees were lined up by the road haphazardly in a picturesque manner.The scenery here was indeed carefree and relaxing. And my heart gradually calmed down.Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!My cellphone vibrated again. And I saw the notification indicated at the arrival of new messages.I lowered my head for a look. There were already more than a dozen missed calls indicated on the screen. There were both calls from Evan and Kester.Ding dong! Ding dong!Evan’s message notification popped up. I subconsciously clicked on it.“Anya, Kester Helsen has been sleeping around with other women behind your back. Don’t be deceived by him. He really doesn’t love you that much.”Following that, a few pictures were sent over.I took a look. They were the bad scene photos of Kester a
Jenny’s POV:Ten minutes later, Jimmy entered the office with Marlowe.Marlowe walked in and looked at the mess on the ground. He teased, “What, who provoked Miss Gracia?”I rolled my eyes coldly and growled, “What brings the prestigious President Yanice here today?”A sly look appeared in Marlowe’s eyes as he said in a glib tone. “Miss Garcia, long time no see. I miss you.”I snorted, “If you have something to say, just say it.” I rolled my eyes arrogantly and impatiently.Marlowe might be one of the wealthy second generation, but he was not popular in the elite circle of the rich second generation.After all, Marlowe had been imprisoned for nine years. Moreover, his reputation was not good. The elite circle of affluent second generation was not very willing to associate with him.“Look at what you are saying, Miss Garcia. You are so distant…”
Anya’s POV:I frowned. “Evan, are you serious?”He looked solemn, “Of course. There is a piece of land in the back of the house that was bought a few years ago. It had just been used. It come handy now. We will build children’s playground for our children to play.”I frowned and looked at Evan, transfixed.“Also, I have thought about it. My next step is to invest in a school.”As he spoke, Evan touched his chin and said regretfully, “Tsk. Why didn’t I think of investing in this sector in the past? If we had invested earlier, it would be more convenient for the children. However, it's not too late. When they go to middle school and university, it will come in handy. I have already thought about it. When they were in middle school, I would send them overseas for education. During vacation, they can come back to X city for private classes.”I was completely speechless after heari
Anya’s POV:I was thinking silently on the hospital bed, not reacting to him. After receiving utensils from him, I ate mechanically.If I left him, I needed money.I plan to sell the properties in M city and Green town. At the same time, I would also sell the properties overseas.Evan had once given me black card. I had used part of it, but there was still over $20 million on it.I could use this time to cash out all these things and then choose the right time to leave him.Seeing that I only ate rice and didn’t pick any of the other dishes, Evan leaned over and peered at me few seconds. He asked suspiciously, “What’s wrong? Why do you look like this? Are you feeling unwell?”“I am fine. It’s just that my calf hurts a little,” I replied quietly.“I will call the doctors and tell them to prescribe you some painkillers.”“No need. It's not good to take too many painkillers!”When Evan heard this, he held my hand again. “Anya, I am sorry. I won’t force you anymore. If there is anything,
Anya’s POV:I didn’t reply. Due to the anesthetic, I was in a daze. I turned over slightly and continued sleeping.At 6:00 PM, Miranda came to deliver dinner with one servant.Jason, Jerry, and Flora all followed.As soon as the three children entered the ward, they couldn’t help but ask, “Mommy, do you have a baby?”I looked at my children and hesitated.The three little fellows didn’t know that I had experienced the moment of life and death when I jumped off the house today. They thought that it was only because I was pregnant that I was hospitalized.Of course, it was also because Evan ordered not to let anyone tell the children that I had jumped today.“Mommy, can I look at your belly?”“Is Mommy going to give birth to a little sister or brother again?”Evan replied on my behalf. “That’s right! Are you happy?”“Yes, if Mommy gives birth to a baby, will she still love us?”“Silly, of course!”Jason grinned, “I want a little sister.”Jerry chimed in, “I want a sister, too!”“Mommy,
Evan’s POV:What a surprise.I had wanted to have another child, but Anya refused. The last time Anya accidentally miscarried made me feel heartbroken.It was great that she is finally pregnant again.In the ward, I could not contain my joy. “Anya, are you awake?”Anya was lying on the hospital bed. Her calf was already injured, and she was a little out of her wits.I have forgotten about the conflict and argument just now. I excitedly shook Anya’s arm, “Anya, I have some good news for you.”Anya’s face was numb.I continued, “The doctor said that you are pregnant? We are having another baby.”Anya’s POV:When I heard this, my eyelids dropped slightly, but I still didn’t reply.The child came at the wrong time. I didn’t want to give birth to his child again.Evan buried his head in my belly, sticking close to this unborn child. “Anya, are you happy?”“I hope this child is a girl so Flora can have company. However, it doesn’t matter if we have a boy. Anywhere, the more, the better. Aft
Anya’s POV:I was still in a mental breakdown. What Evan said was completely unbelievable.After a few seconds, the blackout in her head dissipated. “Evan, don’t force me. I want to leave this place. Let me go. If you don’t let me leave this place, I will die now!”“Anya, don’t be rash. Think about the children. Can you bear to leave the children? If you die, what will happen to the children? Can you bear to see them without a mother?”I was stunned and calmed down.If I die, the children will certainly be very sad.However, if I stayed here, I would certainly die.“Evan, I want a car. Let me go. I am leaving now. Give me a password and identification…”“Anya, don’t push your luck!”Evan subconsciously took another step forward.Seeing him move, I panicked even more. “Don’t come over. Don’t come over!”My emotions turned increasingly unstable, and my hoarse roar made me black out and fall out.“Ah!!”Evan’s POV:“Anya…” I cried out in surprise. I rushed forward and grabbed the handrai
Anya’s POV:Footsteps sounded outside the door.My heart tightened. Evan seems to be back. I will hang up first.”As I spoke, I hurriedly hung up the phone.At the same time, the door was kicked open.Evan walked in with a gloomy expression. “Anya, who are you talking to?”“No, no one.”“No one?” Evan’s eyes were filled with a sense of murder.“Give me your phone.”“I really didn’t…” Fear appeared in my eyes.Evan sneered and snatched my phone away.Evan’s POV:In the past month, I deliberately didn’t confiscate her phone to see if she could contact Kester.Of course, Anya’s phone had already been installed with this listening system. I would know if she called anyone.After reading the call log, I smile sinisterly. “Didn’t you say you have nothing to do with Kester? Why are you calling him now? Do you want him to save you?”Anya’s POV:Seeing this I retreated in fear.Looking at the fur in his eyes, I trembled.In the past month, my depression had relapsed again. I was struggling and
Anya’s POV:I know that he loved to speak in reverse.He was just provoking me by saying all of this.If I did, as he said, he might end up kidding me.“I’m talking to you. Can’t you hear me?” Having lost patience, he grabbed my collar, lifting me.I lifted my eyelids slightly, looking at him with exhaustion and indifference.“Evan, I am really tired. Can you just let me go?”Evan’s POV:My heart skipped a beat while my brows furrowed immensely.Meanwhile, my heart aches as well.I was not a narrow minded man, but when it comes to ambiguous relationship between Kester and Anya, I offered no room for tolerance.I couldn’t bear the thought of her having another man in her art, even if it was just a small fraction.Her beautiful eyes were now filled with endless sadness. “Evan, let’s let go of each other. I don’t want anything anymore, and I just want a little freedom. Please let me go. I am willing to give up everything, including the Walter group.”As her last sentence trailed off wear
Evan’s POV:Anya kept her eyes shut, allowing me to shake her,However, her response drove me to the brink of madness.She was like a flexible knife, seemingly harmless but capable of inflicting significant harm.She excelled at the silent treatment and disliked arguing with me.It seemed to me that no matter how angry or violent I became, she would retaliate in the gentlest yet most devastating way.It always drove me to the brink of madness, making me want to conquer her in bed.Anya’s POV:In the next few days, I continued suffering from high temperatures.Because of that, Evan, perhaps carrying a hint of humanity, did not punish me further.Besides, he had to go to M city to manage the Green Bay construction project, so he didn’t spend much time in X city.In other words, I had narrowly avoided a disaster.After five days of recuperation, my body had recovered to some extent. Although the fever had subsided, I felt mentally exhausted.However, there was no way for me to leave.She
