Jerry’s POV:“Jason, what should we do? It seems like both Daddy and Mommy are unwilling to compromise.” I pondered.“Let’s think of a way to persuade Mommy first.” He muttered.“Yes.”Around 10:00 PM, I carefully prepared another plate of spaghetti and carried it to the study.Bang, bang, bang“Who is it?”“Daddy, it’s me, Jerry!”“Come in.”I pushed open the door and walked inDaddy frowned, “It’s late. Why aren’t you sleep?”I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said carefully, “Oh, Mommy was afraid that you would be hungry, so she specially made this for you.”As I spoke, I presented this spaghetti to Daddy, as if I was presenting a treasure.Evan’s POV:I frowned, not knowing what was going on.‘Was she trying to coax me?’Usually, I was used to treating others this way. Now that others were treating me like this, I was not used to it.“Daddy, you didn’t even eat dinner. Mommy was afraid that you would be hungry. So she specially made spaghetti for you. Look, she cares about you s
Evan’s POV:On the fourth day, I couldn’t take it anymore.“Anya, I think we need to talk.”“I feel the same.” She also looked at me angrily.“You go first.”“You go first.”“What the hell do you mean?”“Hey, hey, I should be the one asking you that. What the hell are you doing?”I frowned slightly and looked at Anya’s eyes with a complicated gaze. I wished I could see through her mind.Since she loved me, why does she have to keep messing around with me?She only needed to take one step toward me, and I would take the rest ninety-nine steps.Unfortunately, she was always distant from me. She treated me nicely, but coldly at the same time. I had no idea what she wanted.“Stop writing those things to me. No matter how many letters you write, I won’t forgive you.” Anya’s voice was not filled with anger and resentment as she waved the love letters in her hand.I didn’t understand what she was saying. I took two steps forward and trapped her in the circle of my arms. “Anya, you love me. C
Anya’s POV:Evan and I were shocked when we heard that. We looked at the two little guys in disbelief.Jason and Jerry lowered their heads timidly.“Mommy, we don’t want you and Daddy to be separated. We are afraid of losing you. That’s why we wrote you letters and cooked Daddy spaghetti.”“What? You guys made the spaghetti?” Evan was shocked.“That’s right. We just want you guys to stop being mad at each other.” The two little guys' eyes were filled with tears.I felt a lump in my throat.Jerry sniffled and said with a sobbing tone, “Daddy, Mommy, can you stop fighting? We really want us to live together forever. Mommy, Daddy, Jason, Flora, and me.”When I heard this, my heart ached.I took a deep breath and squatted down to gently wipe Jerry’s tears, “Stop crying. Go back to sleep.”“Anya, do you see that? Evan if it is for the sake of children, can you stop being angry?”My eyes stung. I felt indescribably uncomfortable.The children were indeed my weakness!For the sake of the chi
Evan’s POV:I was stunned. Only then did I remember that I had an important meeting today.In addition to the company’s top management, the partners would also come to the Carter Group for a meeting.“Please greet them first. I will go to the company now.”“Okay, well noted.”I hung up the phone and hurriedly returned to the bedroom to change my clothes. I washed up briefly and went to the office.Coral’s POV:All the executives had arrived in the conference room of the Carter Group. More than ten partners and shareholders had been waiting for more than twenty minutes.“Why isn’t Mr. Carter here yet?”“He doesn’t take us seriously. There are so many people waiting for him.”“That’s right! His time management is bad. He said the meeting would be starting at 9:00 but it was already past 10:00. There’s still no sign of him.” The business partners could not help but complain.They were all well-known businessmen in X city. Many of them were from Evan’s father's generation. Now being suppr
Anya’s POV:“What?” I subconsciously touched my neck.Needless to say, it must have been left by Evan. That bloody bastard loves this the most. I had left in a hurry and forgot to wear a silk scarf.“Mommy, does it hurt?”I replied embarrassedly, “No, it doesn’t hurt.”“Mommy, didn’t you say that you wanted to come and see me with Daddy? Where is Daddy? Why isn’t he here?”My eyes darkened as I smiled gently. “Daddy is busy.”As I spoke, the doctor opened the door and entered.“Dr. Clayton!” Flora greeted him sweetly.Jordan also smiles kindly and comes to the bed to tease Flora.Then he looked at me seriously, “Miss Walter, please follow me to the office. I want to talk to you about Flora’s condition.”When I heard this my heart tightened, “Okay.”“Flora, Mommy will be back soon.”“Okay.” She nodded obediently.Jordan brought me to the office.“Miss Walter, I have bad news for you. You have to calm down and be mentally prepared.”My heart sank. I sucked in a breath of cold air. “Tell
Anya’s POV:When I heard this, I cried even harder. The leukemia my daughter had last time almost killed her.The second relapse was even more dangerous.“Isn’t it just another bone marrow transport? I can do it.” Evan comforted me gently.“Evan…” my eyes were filled with tears as I leaned into his arm.Although I hated Evan to the core, I was extremely grateful for it.He was also a very qualified father.“Don’t cry. Our daughter will be fine.”“I am here. I will protect you guys.”I sobbed so hard that I didn’t know what to say. I just leaned into his arms and cried.‘Why was God so unfair?’‘Why did my daughter suffer so much?’“Let’s go in and take a look at Flora.”“Alright!”In the ward, Flora was still lying on the bed, surrounded by Barbie dolls an
Anya’s POV:I watched from the side. I bit my lips tightly and held back my tears.Evan hugged my shoulder and smiled gently. “It’s fine. Flora will survive.”“Okay!” I nodded sadly“How is it? Am I ugly?” Evan teased as she touched his bald head.I looked at him and smiled with tears in my eyes. “Have you been handsome before?”Baldness was a standard of testing, handsome men. Even though Evan had shaved all his hair, it still couldn’t hide his compelling handsomeness. He even looked more manly.In less than ten minutes, Flora's soft hair was shaved.Evan took out his phone and said to the nurse. “Miss, please take a family photo of us.”“Okay,” the nurse quickly took the phone.I hugged Flora, Jason, and Jerry. Evan opened his arm and hugged the four of us.The nurse took a family photo for us.“The pati
Evan’s POV:“The Carter Group, President was taken by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Evan is suspected of money laundering and illegal financing.”“Someone reported Evan for money laundering and bribery.”In less than three hours, the matter of me being investigated had already become a trending topic.It was clear that someone was adding fuel to the power.“Someone reported for your illegal financing and money laundering.” the agent asked.“I am not answering any of the questions without my lawyer.” I crossed my arms and looked calm.After all, this was the first time I had to deal with these people.“You have the right to remain silent, but your every word will be used against you in a court of law.”I had crossed my hand and didn’t say a word, no matter how the agent asked. I didn’t say a word.Soon, 24 hours passed. I
Evan’s POV:As I listened, a chilling sensation ran down my spine.“Would you do the same to me?” I asked.“How come? As long as you remain faithful to me, I will faithfully stand by your side.” She replied, adopting a coquettish expression.“By the way, I have already spoken to the Vice President of Yanice Group, and he is eager to collaborate with you.”She continued, “Once Yanice Group and Garcia Group join forces. We can surely bring Evan down from his high pedestal. Then, we can claim a piece of Carter Group’s empire for ourselves.”“Don’t worry, everything is set up, and we are just waiting for Evan to fall into our trap.” She added, a sinister smile gracing her lips.I listened, but deep down, something felt amiss.Evan and I had grown up together and harbored no grudges.My actions now were purely driven by envy.Evan had always outshone me, excelling in every aspect since our youth. And we had been compared to each other.I had lived my life in the shadow of shining Evan. “Ho
Evan’s POV:The two of us exchanged teasing remarks with each other.Suddenly, Zachary changed the subject, pretending to be nonchalant, and asked, “By the way, I heard that you are close to several officials in M city. It was quite difficult to get approval for the Green Bay project, but you managed to do it. I guess these officials help you a lot behind the scenes. Can you introduce me to them? Give me some pointers.”I paused for a moment and said, “With such a wide network you have, do you still want me to introduce you?”“I am telling you seriously. I am planning to invest in project in M city and the approval documents may be difficult to get. That’s why I came here specially to learn from you.” He said with a slightly guilty look in his eyes.“You don’t have to worry. Once the project is approved, I will give you a 10% stake.”As I heard it, I furrowed my brows. Deeming that Zachary was acting strange today.Although we had been good friends since childhood and had always been
Evan’s POV:Just as I was feeling emotional, my phone vibrated in my pocket.I took out my phone and saw that it was from Zachary.“I will go out to take the call!”“Alright, go ahead!” Anya replied casually.I took the call and left the ward.“Hello, Zachary, what’s up?”On the other end of the line, Zachary chuckled, “Ah, Evan, what’s been going on lately? I have been calling you, but you never answered.”“Oh, is there something going on? I have been busy lately!”“Yeah, you are so busy, its not easy to reach you these days.” Zachary teased over the phone.“What’s the matter? Just spill it!”Zachary changed his teasing tone and asked with concern. “I heard that your daughter is sick. Is she getting better now?”“She is still undergoing treatment.”“Well, don’t worry. With the medical advancements nowadays, she will certainly be better.”I furrowed my brows, “I hope so.”By the way, I know a pediatric expert who specializes in treating leukemia. Do you want me to introduce you to him
Marlowe’s POV:As I watched, Anya’s car driving away, an eerie smile appeared at the corner of my eyes.My assistant joked, “President Yanice, I heard that Evan still love his ex-wife and wanted to remarry her. But for some reason, she has been rejected him.”My eyebrows raised even higher when I heard that. “Hey, I didn’t expect Evan to be such a pony. He wants to go back with his ex.”When I was in prison, Evan and Anya had not been married yet.Unexpectedly, after my release, they had broken up and reconciled several times.“Yeah, his daughter has leukemia, and he donated bone marrow to her. I heard he is going to donate again.”“Interesting! Neither have I expected Evan to be such a loving father,” I sneered coldly and my pupils flashed with a wicked light. “Evan, I am going to take everything from you. Anything you like, I will snatch away. Even if I can’t snatch it, I will destroy it all.”Anya’s POV:At noon, I hurriedly arrived at the hospital.“Flora, Mommy is here.”“Mommy,
Evan’s POV:“Anya, you are despicable!” I seethed with anger, directly pressing her down, and started another round of frenzied invasion.Then I launched a new round of crazy invasion.The more she feared getting pregnant, the more I insisted on impregnating her.When she gave birth to the child for me, I wondered, how would she run. So thinking, I tried harder, hoping idea to have twin or triplets.Anya’s POV:The next day, my whole body felt weak, and my limbs were so too sore to the extreme. I had originally planned to wake up at seven but ended up sleeping until 10:30 before recently getting up.“Oh, no, it’s already 10:30. I need to hurry up and go to the hospital.”I dragged my exhausted body and weak body, hastily washed up, and then drove to the hospital.On the way, I suddenly remembered that I had promised to buy egg tarts for Flora. So, I have no choice but to drive to the shopping center again.The things sold here, whether edible or usable, were all top-of-the-line.Of co
Anya’s POV:I looked at Evan and said, “Evan, take a rest. Flora has fallen asleep. You should go back to work tomorrow.”“Don’t bother that. I want to personally stay with Flora. I feel more at ease this way.”“I can handle things here alone. You don’t need to stay.”“How can I leave? Flora needs me right now, and I will stay with her.”Anya’s body trembled.“Anya, once Flora recovers. Let’s get remarried, shall we?”Upon hearing this, my eyes instantly wrinkled.“Remarrying?”I had never thought about such a thing.“Evan, please, don’t bring up these matters right now. I just want to focus on curing Flora’s illness. I don’t want to think too much about anything else.”Evan’s eyes turned cold. “I know what you are thinking, but I want to tell you one thing. I truly love you. And I you and you love the children. I like the idea of being a family with you and your children. I am willing to spend the rest of my life making a for the pain I caused you in the past. Anya, so let me unravel
Marlowe’s POV:Over the past few days, my face darkened with a malicious grim as I saw the increasing online news coverage about Evan.“Evan, this is only the beginning, I will meticulousely settle our accounts. These nine years, I spent in prison will not be in vain. I will make you fall for Grace and pay you a hundred times the price.”Tina sat provocatively by the side, adding, “President Yanice, the Carter Group, is already under investigation by relevant departments. I believe retribution will come soon. The show is finally starting. When the times come, I will present a big gift to Evan. I won’t let him retaliate. Haha, a delightful cooperation. President Yanice, once the Carter group collapsed, remember the promise you made to me won’t be broken.”I smirked maliciously, “Don’t worry. I will always keep my word.”“And. what is this big gift you mentioned?”She sneered, “I have brought another alley on board. With his assistance, we can deliver a fatal blow to Evan. When the cruc
Author’s POV:Online, a new wave of reports emerged.“The Carter Group Assaults Journalists, leaving two reporters seriously injured with severe concussions.”“Evan may face intentional harm charges.”“Two injured journalists are currently receiving treatment in the hospital. The Carter Group’s actions have sparked outrage among the entire X city.”The Internet was buzzing with the news about Carter Group’s bodyguard assaulting journalists.Although Coral attempted to suppress the website, the scandal of the journalist's assault was publicly reported by mainstream media outlets, making it impossible to contain.The footage depicted the journalist and bodyguard shoving and pushing each other unequivocally showing an assault had taken place.Various websites and platforms started sharing the official news reports, making it impossible to suppress the story.“Mr. Carter, the two journalists have filed a law against suit against Carter Group. We received the court summons today.”Evan too
Evan’s POV:I exhaled a plume of smoke, my face growing even more fearsome amidst the swirling haze.Marlowe was arrogant and domineering, bordering on madness. He had spent nine years in prison, not directly at the hands of me, but indirectly due to his actions.If he didn’t seek revenge against me upon his release, it would be a surprise, indeed.Twenty minutes later, the car stopped directly at the children’s hospital.“We have arrived at the hospital Mr. Carter.”“Hmmm!” I stepped out of the car, shook off the scent of smoke from my body, and walked straight to the ward.In the word, Anya sat beside Flora, carefully feeding her some liquid food.“Sweetheart, are you still feeling uncomfortable?”“Mmm, not as uncomfortable as before.”“Then take one more bite.”“Mommy, I can’t eat anymore.”“Come on, just one more bite. You need to eat a little more.” Anya scooped up a spoonful of nutrition supplement and held it near Flora’s mouth.“Okay,” Flora recently opened her mouth and swall
