Anya’s POV:
By the time I returned to X city, it was past four in the afternoon.
“Mommy!” When I returned home, the children happily surrounded me.
In the past few days, the happiest people were none other than my three little fellows. They surrounded me every day and chattered endlessly.
“You guys are out of school…”
Jason nodded, “Tomorrow is the weekend, so class ended very early today.”
“Have you done your homework?”
Jason and Jerry wave their textbooks, “I am done!”
I smiled gently and praised the children, “Awesome.”
Jerry blinked his black eyes, “Mommy, shall we go riding together?”
“Mommy is a little tired. Can you go by yourself?”
“Mommy, come with us. Riding is fun!”
“That’s right! I know Mommy will like it! Daddy has raised many horses. It's very fun!”<
Anya’s POV:We sat in the chauffeur-driven carriage and got ready to return.Carter's family house was massive. If we took a car to the house, it would take a few minutes.Three little kids were excited and chattered nonstop.Seeing this, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.It had been long since I had seen the children so happy.“Babies, Mommy and Daddy are going on a business trip tomorrow. We might not be back for more than ten days. Be good at home, understand?”The three little kids exclaimed, “Ah, why are you going on a business trip for so long?”“Yes. When Daddy comes back, I will bring you a gift.”“Daddy, can you go alone? I want Mommy to stay.”“No, Mommy has to go with Daddy.”“Alright!”****At night, Evan returns to the room.“Have you packed everything?”“Yes, i
Anya’s POV:My eyes darkened and I didn’t ask further. The Carter family business was international and I didn’t know what industries were in Itona.Forty minutes later, several cars arrived at the airport.Apart from me and Evan, there were more people this time. There were more than ten bodyguards and assistants. So we booked a private plane.After registering her boarding pass, the group boarded the plane through the VIP passage.This was a small luxury passenger plane. It was also divided into luxury cabins and ordinary cabins.Evan and I were alone in the luxury first class. The bodyguards and assistants were in business class.The plane slowly took off, and soon rose above the wild clouds.I was a little calm. I looked at the rolling white clouds outside the window.The plane flew for fourteen hours and finally arrived in Itona.The first stop was Reeyal.The assistant had already ch
Anya’s POV:The temperature of the water in the water was very soothing. After soaking for a while, the day’s fatigue dissipated. Perhaps because I was too tired that night, I quickly fell asleep.“Baby, wake up…” Evan called me softly to wake up.I stretched lazily and said, “Oh, I want to sleep a little longer.”Evan smiled gently and pinched my nose. “What a lazy bones. Then sleep a little longer. I will go out for a bit.”“Okay!” I turned around and fell asleep again.Evan was back on time and I was already dressed up.Evan had gone out to discuss business for the past few days and didn’t bring me along. I didn’t even know who he had met.“Do you still have business to handle this afternoon?”He loosened his tie, removed his suit, and took a casual sweater from the wardrobe. “No need. We are done discussing!”
After hanging up, Anya looked melancholic. “Look, the children are urging us to go back.”“I rarely travel. Let’s shop for a few more days.” I know the best way to treat depression is to relax and heal naturally.“Three days at most.”“There is no need to rush.”“Let’s go. Come with me for dinner.”Anya was helpless. She changed her clothes and went to the street with me.At the entrance of the street.Anya was buying coffee when Coral walked up anxiously and whispered, “Mr. Carter…”I was stunned, “What’s wrong?”“Princess Martha wants to see you.”I frowned.I had not contacted Princess Martha for three or four months. I felt it was over between us.“How did she know I was here?”“Princess Martha happened to be in Menola too. When she saw my Facebook post, she guessed you were also in Menola.”When I heard this, my face was darkened. “Who asked you to post on Facebook?”“Sorry, Mr. Carter…”As he spoke, Princess Martha appeared out of nowhere. “Evan, long time no see!”I turned roun
Anya’s POV:The next day, I got up early in the morning.After washing up, Evan was still asleep. I could only shake him awake. “Wake up. It's time to get up.”He yawned, “So early? What’s the hurry?”“It’s getting late. It’s already 7 o’clock. Hurry up and get up. We still have to rush to the airport.”“Sigh. I have to hand it to you.” Eva reluctantly got off the bed and was dragged to the bathroom by me, who urged him to wash up.After everyone was done, it was already 8:30 in the morning.The driver drove us to the airport.Unexpectedly halfway there, we met a few foreigners in a local police uniform.A tall, burly white man raised his hand to signal the driver to stop. He said in a local language. “Get out of the car quickly. There will be a routine inspection. We suspect you have dangerous items in your car.”“All of you get out of your car and take out your passports…”Evan replied in English, “We need to call our lawyer!”“Shut up and get out of the car.”A few police officers
Evan’s POV:I rubbed Jerry’s head and smiled reluctantly. My youngest son was clever and knew how to flatter me. He was completely different from Jason’s personality.After a twenty-minute drive, we arrived home.“Flora, Daddy, and Mommy are back.”‘Daddy, Mommy. Cough, Cough…” Flora was watching cartoons.Her eyes lit up when she saw us return. And she greeted me as a lie like she did every day. However, she looked sluggish.Anya handed a gift to Flora. “This is a gift for you, Flora!”“Thank you, Daddy and Mommy,” Flora got a limited edition doll and squeezed out a smile.“Baby, are you feeling unwell?”“Yeah, I am a little unwell!” She said. She couldn’t help but cough twice again. Her big eyes revealed her trace of fatigue.Anya’s POV:Seeing this I quickly reached out and touched my daughter’s forehead.The temperature was not very high. It did not seem like she was having a high fever.However, Flora had always been sick. Thus her body’s immune system was weak.“Mommy will take
Anya’s POV:I kept comforting Flora. It was not easy for me to coax my daughter.The nurse drew two tubes of her blood and brought her to the CT room for various tests.After the examination, I asked the nurse, “How long will it take for the result to be out?”“The other test result could be collected in an hour. The result of the blood test would only be out tomorrow.”I had also expected this. It was always like this in the past. “Alright, I understand.”When it was almost noon, Evan called and asked, “How was it?”“There is nothing wrong with these tests. We will have to wait till tomorrow for the blood test result.”“Oh, then I am relieved.”We left the Children’s Hospital.I call Fantine again.“Hello, Miss Anya?”“Is Dad in the hospital?”“Oh, Mr. Walter is here.”I paused for a moment. “I will go over to see him later. Tell Dad.”“Okay.”After the call, I prepared to go to the hospital to see Dad.“Flora, follow Aunt Lilian home first. Mommy will go to and see Grandpa.”When Fl
Anya’s POV:I had been too careless.I know that someone had always wanted me dead, so I shouldn’t have let my guard down.Although I had bodyguards with me this time, not many people were allowed to enter the hospital. Therefore, the bodyguard could only wait outside, which gave the criminals an opportunity.“If anything happened to Flora, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life.”“Flora, where are you? It’s all Mommy’s fault…”“Miss Walter, it’s not time to be sad. Finding Miss Flora is the priority now.”“Harry, let’s hurry to the surveillance room and see if Miss Flora has been taken out of the hospital.”“Okay.”The group of us arrived at the surveillance room.“Miss Flora is missing. Hurry up and put out all the surveillance cameras.”The security guard in the surveillance room was originally dozing off. When a few blurry men barged in, he was so frightened that didn’t dare to say anything and hurriedly checked the surveillance camera.Kody moved the mouse head to c
Anya’s POV:Therefore, after I said it once, the children remember it.“After the sauce is ready, cook the noodles. After the noodles are cooked, fish them out and mix the sauce on them.”“Oh, it looks like it’s quite simple.”“Yes, make sure to control the heat properly. Don’t let the tomatoes burn.” I advised as I demonstrated by cooking process to my son.“Let me try.” Jerry volunteered.I patiently instructed my son guiding him through the basics. Before long Jerry gaps the fundamentals.Time passed quickly. It was already 10:00 p.m.I went back to my room to sleep.For the past few days, Evan didn’t sleep in the bedroom. I felt relaxed and I slept earlier.Jason’s POV:Around 10:30 a beam of light showed from outside the courtyard.Jerry got up. “Jason Daddy’s back!”“Really?”“Yeah! I heard Daddy’s car.”“It's time to make spaghetti.”“Yes, yes.”The two of us made our way to the kitchen, tiptoeing quietly. Fortunately, the Carter household was quite spacious, and Daddy rarely v
Anya’s POV:Around 3:30 PM, Jason and Jerry return from the school.My arm injury might not have healed completely, but it was still reliably easy to make spaghetti.Since the children wanted to eat, I would certainly do it.“Mommy, we are back.”“Are you hungry? I will make you spaghetti?”Jason shook his head, “I am not hungry yet. Mommy, can you cook later?”“Yeah, sure!”“Then we will go practice riding now.”When I heard this, I frowned, “Jason, your arm hasn’t fully healed yet. The splint is still on. How can you ride a horse again?”“What if you fall again? Stay away from the hoarse for the time being?”“It’s okay. My arm is much better. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”“No! Be a good boy. Go finish your homework.”“Okay!”Jason replied upset and turned to return to his room.“Jerry, you are not allowed to ride during this period either. You have to stay with your brother.”“Mommy, my arm is fine. Why can’t I ride a horse?”I squatted down and looked at my son calmly. “When Jason sees
Anya’s POV:The servant prepared breakfast as usual. I woke up early in the morning and called the children for breakfast.Although I didn’t have to do everything myself, I still wanted to take care of the children as much as I could as a mother.“Jason, Jerry, hurry up and come over for breakfast.”The two little guys dawdled over, “Mommy, did you change the dressing on your arm?”“Yes, yes. I have already changed it.”“Oh!”As we were talking, Evan strode down the stairs.As usual, he was wearing a suit and looked noble and elegant. However, his face was dark as ice and exuded a murderous aura.When he passed by the dining room, the two little guys greeted him in unison, “Good morning, Daddy!”“Morning!” Evan replied.Without even looking at me, he passed through the dining room and walked out.Similarly, I didn’t give him a second glance. I treated him like an air.The two little guys looked at each other and exchanged glances. “Mommy, can you make spaghetti for us this afternoon?”
Evan’s POV:I was furious. I pressed her down in bed.I love conquering her in bed.However, this time, Anya didn’t resist. She was like a soulless doll.“Anya, I am now your creditor. I ordered you to speak to me. Don’t force me to break the contract, and don’t fight me head-on.”Anya closed her eyes. She didn’t resist or struggle.I could not bear to torture her and felt dejected.“Alright! You won. Do whatever you want! Anya, let me tell you one more time. Don’t think that I won’t be able to live if I leave you! Even without you, I am still me, underlying and unafraid.”I declared, my voice filled with growing aggression.In the final burst of anger, I forcefully slammed the door behind me and stormed off.Since she was ignoring me, I would let her be.In any case, I had to work to do. In the past, when I was happy, I would bury myself in work.
Anya’s POV:This time, I would never compromise again.Flora also pleaded for mercy. “Mommy, Daddy has already apologized to you. Can you forgive him? Mommy, I bag you. Please forgive, Daddy.”I was still unmoved.Evan had used our child as leverage, manipulating me with money and resorting to unethical tactics to control me.I had had enough.If I took a step back now, I would lose myself again which would lead the internal damnation.The Doctor came over to change the dressing again. The prescription was ready. “Mr. Carter, the patient has lost too much blood and will be staying in the hospital for two days.”“Okay.”“Anya, do you want some water?”I didn’t answer.“Drink some water.” Evan eagerly poured a glass of water.Lillian could not stand it anymore. “Mr. Carter, you didn’t sleep last night. Let me take care
Evan’s POV:I took a deep breath and said timidly, “Alright, alright, alright. I will die, alright?”While she was losing her mind, I jumped onto the table and rolled to the opposite of Anya like a cop.Then, I grabbed her arm firmly and snatched the broken wine bottle from her hand.“Let go of me! Evan, I am going to kill you!”I twisted her hand and hugged her tightly, “Alright, alright. I will let you kill me. Your hand is bleeding now. We are going to the hospital now.”“Can you kill me after your hand is bandaged?”“Let go of me, I will kill you right now.” Anya resisted with all her might.“Are you feeling better?”“Let’s go to the hospital!”Saying, that I forcefully carried her up.Anya’s arm was dripping with blood. Under the dim light. It was especially terrifying.I was terrified. I carrie
Evan’s POV:Having received a slap, Anya looked at me coldly,After hitting Anya, I felt my palm slightly numb. I was instantly sober.I couldn’t believe that I hit Anya again.The atmosphere instantly dropped to the freezing point. The girls huddled in a corner in fear.Half a minute later, Anya took a deep breath. Her anger reached it’s boiling point. With all her strength, she unleashed a powerful slap across my face. The sound was re-vibrating in the room.“Slap!” I also got a heavy slap.I was stunned for a moment. I looked at Anya in disbelief. My eyes almost spitting fire.Seeing this, everyone covered their mouths.After all, it was big news that I was slapped in public by my ex-wife.My bad temper was famous throughout the city. I had always been the one who hit others, and no one had ever dared to hit me back.My anger boiled within me, fueling my desire for revenge.
Evan’s POV:I was also a little tipsy. I subconsciously looked at my watch. “It’s already past ten. I should go home.”I didn’t want to drink with Jenny.I know she liked me. I didn’t want to give her any chance to flirt.“Evan, I have just arrived. Why are you leaving?” She looked disappointed.“That’s right! Jenny just arrived. If you leave, it will be too disappointing. You can’t leave. You promised to stay up all night tonight!”The siblings try to persuade me not to go back.Anya’s POV:I couldn’t get through to Evan so I called Coral.Coral quickly picked up the call. “Hello, Miss Walter.”“Coral, is Evan still in the company?”“Mr. Carter has already gotten off work and left the company a long ago.”“Then, where did he go? Did he go out to socialize?”&ldqu
Anya’s POV:My heart tightened and I quickly touched my daughter’s body.It was also very hot as well.The laboratory report from Flora showed that her platelets ratio was very low. The doctors said that she might have a leukemia attack and that having a fever would make her immunity even weaker.“Flora, I will take you to the hospital now,” I said as I wanted to pick my daughter up.“Rumble!”Crack!It began to rain heavily outside, and muffled thunder rumbled. Lighting tore through the night sky, one after another, and strong light showed into the house.“Mommy, I am scared.” Flora was most afraid of thunder. Every time there was a thunder, she would tremble in fear.“Don’t be afraid! Mommy is here!”“Mommy, where is Daddy? I miss Daddy.”Most daughters would feel safe with their father by their side. Flora was no exception. She
