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
Anya’s POV:Although Evan was released, he was restricted from leaving the country until the case was investigated.At the children’s hospital, the two of us entered the ward one after another.“Ora, Daddy, and Mommy are here to see you.”On the hospital bed, Flora had an oxygen tube inserted into her nose. Her little face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.“Daddy, where have you been for the past two days? Why are not you here with me?”Flora had already completed the first round of chemotherapy. She was so thin that she was nothing but skin and bones.Evan came to the bed and looked at his daughter gently, “Isn’t Daddy here now?”Flora blinked weekly and looked at him saying in a childish voice, “Daddy, can you accompany me every day in the future?”“Of course!” Evan reached out and gently caressed his daughter’s pale face.
Tina’s POV:Now that I had achieved my goal, of course, I didn’t wait to move out.Otherwise, if Evan found out that I was playing tricks behind his back, I wouldn’t know how I die.During this time, Zachary and I had joined hands with each of us having our ulterior motives. We had already broken through the line between men and women and made love together.Zachary took me to visit the place he had found for me.“How is it? Are you satisfied with this place?” He asked.It was a small villa complex. It was top-notch residents, but it was still a high-end residence.I looked around at the decoration of the Villa and smiled. “It’s not bad.”He hugged my shoulders and kissed my lips vaguely. “Stay here for a now. I will get you a bigger place in the future. Don’t worry. If you allow me, I will make you have a good life.”I smiled and hooked my arms around his
Author’s POV:Evan went to the Carter Group.There was a meeting in the conference room.All the executives and shareholders were in uproar as they kept asking questions.“Mr. Carter, what should we do? You have to give us an explanation so that we can be at ease.”“That’s right! Now that Carter Group is being targeted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. This is a serious problem. If we don’t deal with it properly, we won’t be able to meet again in the future.”“We invested so much money. It won’t go down the drain, right?”Evan's face darkened. He looked coldly at everyone. “If anyone is afraid, he can withdraw from the Green Bay project now.”When the shareholders heard this, they exchanged glances and could not make up their minds.The Green Bay project was already ready for construction, and it was about to bear fruit. It was not worth to withdraw now.However, Evan was now being targeted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. If they failed, they would be
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
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
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
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
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
Evan’s POV:After a brief pause, I made a decision to let the children in, knowing that they had a special place in Anya heart and hoping that they could persuade her.Without hesitation, I walked to the door and let the children in.“Mommy, what happened to you?” Jason and Jerry were taken back to see Anya’s literature appearance as soon as they entered.Flora also said anxiously, “Mommy, are you feeling unwell?”“Mm!” Anya weekly lifted her gaze towards the children.“Did you to have another fight?” The three children quietly asked as they sensed that something was wrong.Flora pouted, looking pitiful as she looked at me. “Daddy, can’t you please stop fighting with Mommy? We don’t want you to fight again…”Upon hearing that I instantly put on a loving and gentle smile, “You guys are good kids. Well, Daddy and Mommy didn’t have a fight. You are over thinking it.”“Really?” The three little fellows were skeptical.“Of course. Daddy and Mommy will never fight. We are most loving couple
Evan’s POV:It was five o’clock in the afternoonI could not concentrate at work because I was worried that Anya would do something unpredictable again. Thus, as soon as it struck five, I left the office and headed home early.“Good evening, Mr. Carter,” the servants greeted in unison.I walked into the house with a gloomy expression.Miranda was waiting in the living room. When I saw her, I asked with a long face. “Miranda, how is Anya doing?”Miranda wore a mournful face as she replied sadly, “Anya has been in the room and just has not come out yet.”I frowned after hearing that, “She didn’t came out for the entire day.”“That’s right!”“Has she eaten anything?” My brows furrowed even more now.I was very worried because when Anya, a stubborn woman in my eyes, got angry, she would torment herself like crazy. Although I was mad at her, I had no intention of breaking ties with her completely.I wished she were smarter and capable of coaxing him a little more. I also longed for her to
