Rosedale Residence. In the morning, as soon as Alessia got up, she received a call from Christopher.
"Baby, do you miss mommy?"
"I knew it, you're back, but you didn't even come to see me."
The voice on the phone was not the childish voice of her eldest son but a deep, mature voice with a hint of vicissitude.
Alessia immediately recognized it as the voice of Grandma Carter, and her emotions fluctuated.
During her three years in the Carter family, only Grandma Carter genuinely treated her well.
"Grandma, how are you feeling?" Alessia asked.
"Not good." Grandma Carter said grumpily, "If you come over now and have a meal with me, maybe I'll feel better."
Alessia felt a warmth in her heart and slightly curled her lips.
They said that old people sometimes needed to be coaxed like chil
Bianca couldn't hold back her explanation. But halfway through her words, she felt someone stepping on her foot under the table. Bianca looked at Alessia. Alessia drank her water expressionlessly, as if the person they were discussing wasn't her. Bianca bit her lip. It seemed her sister-in-law was very unhappy. "Well, what's the explanation then?" Clara urged, crossing her arms and sneering sarcastically. "Can't come up with anything?" Bianca blushed and was about to speak again when she felt the foot on hers press down harder. Bianca could only take a sip of juice and said stubbornly, "I don't want to talk about it." "Don't want to talk about it? That's because you feel guilty," Clara taunted, smirking triumphantly. Bianca choked, about to retort, but Grandma Carter spoke up to stop he
After the meal. Grandma Carter held Alessia's hand as they walked in the garden. With a loving expression, Grandma Carter said, "Sia, when you have time, bring your twin daughters back to let Grandma have a look." Earlier in the dining room, Clara suddenly mentioned her remarriage and child, embarrassing her. Unexpectedly, her grandmother didn't mind at all and even wanted to meet the two babies. Alessia pursed her lips, suppressing the emotional turmoil in her heart. She couldn't bring the twins to the Carter family's old mansion. This would surely disappoint her grandmother. "Silly girl, are you worried that Dom won't like it?" Grandma Carter asked with concern when she saw Alessia remaining silent. Feeling even more guilty, Alessia pursed her lips and uttered two words, "I'm sorry!"
Dominic's thoughts returned, only to find the woman beside him had already closed her eyes. With her eyes closed, the woman's skin looked cold and pale, her thick eyelashes casting a quiet shadow. She always seemed cool and unapproachable, but now she appeared a bit more gentle. She really took him for a chauffeur. A barely perceptible smile crossed Dominic's lips. Perhaps any woman sitting in his passenger seat wouldn't be willing to use it for sleeping. She was truly carefree. The car entered the Rosedale Residence. Dominic was about to wake up the woman next to him when she, like she had an alarm clock, opened her eyes. Dominic squinted, suddenly suspecting that the woman had been pretending to sleep the entire time. Just to avoid interacting with him. This realization made Dominic feel a bit stifle
Ava saw this heartwarming scene as soon as she entered the door. After a slight moment of daze, she instructed the servant to place the things she brought on the table. She smiled at the two little ones and said, "Darlings, Grandma has come to see you again. Today, I specially bought gifts for you. Let's see if you like them." As Ava spoke, she took out a Barbie doll and a Transformer from the bag. She had someone investigate and knew that this daughter had been divorced before. She had just returned with a pair of twin daughters, but now the twins had become fraternal twins. It should have been a mistake by the private investigator. But strangely enough, as she looked at the boy today, he bore some resemblance to Dominic. Upon careful thought, she felt it must be a coincidence. The Carter family's lineage was thin; how could they let their children wander outside?
"Mom, I'm sorry, I seem to have messed up your gathering," Christian apologized with his head down as they left the Ramirez family's gate.Alessia looked at her dramatic son and said, "Then how do you plan to compensate me?""Huh?" The little guy lifted his head nervously at once, his face showing no hint of apology.Alessia tapped his little nose, "Alright, I didn't blame you. You did well tonight. It's me who didn't do well, shouldn't have brought you to such an occasion.""Mommy is always right." Eleanor, who had not spoken until now, raised her head and said without principle.Alessia softened, deciding never to bring her two children to the Ramirez family again. She didn't want them to suffer because of her.The next day, Ava made several calls to invite her to go shoppin
"Ah, call the police? So not only are you pretending to be rich, but you're also a thief." "It's such a pity that such a beautiful woman is a thief." The men nearby couldn't help but feel sorry for Alessia. The women couldn't control their men, so they glared at Alessia with resentment. "Hello fans! Oh, by the way, I'm at the Al Studio store. I wanted to buy a few clothes here today. If you have time later, help me make a choice." Suddenly, a deliberately sweet and soft voice came from outside the store. Everyone turned their heads and saw Sisca walking into the store wearing a little white dress, with her black hair draped behind her head. She was followed by her assistant holding a selfie stick for her live broadcast. After entering, Sisca seemed to have just noticed Alessia in the crowd and exclaimed in surprise, "Miss La
As Sisca finished speaking, the comments in the live stream unanimously praised Alessia's demeanor and praised Sisca for her kindness. Some even advised Alessia to recognize the truth early, that an ugly duckling can never become a swan. Sisca secretly reveled in her satisfaction. Alessia ignored these mocking comments, returning the borrowed phone to the man. The man took the phone, his face flushed with excitement, and asked eagerly, "Miss, can I have your phone number?" The woman in front of him was just too beautiful. When he took the phone earlier, his heart felt like it had been electrified. Alessia glanced at the man, coldly apologizing, "As you can see, I didn't bring it." Not bringing the phone didn't mean she didn't have one. He was rejected politely, but being rejected by such a beautiful woman was still an honor.
Seeing that Bianca was about to call her sister-in-law in public, Alessia quickly covered her mouth. She couldn't let Bianca call her sister-in-law publicly. Her ex-wife status couldn't be hidden anymore. "Don't shout," Alessia said. Bianca made a series of muffled sounds, blinked her eyes, and then nodded as if to assure Alessia. Only then did Alessia release her hand. As soon as Bianca got her freedom, she affectionately hugged Alessia's arm and obediently changed her words. "Sia, these people must be blind. Anything you like in this mall, I can buy it for you." A hint of amusement flickered in Alessia's cold eyes. She knew Bianca wanted to support her. Although she didn't need it, she appreciated the gesture. "Okay," Alessia nodded. Bianca's high-profile actions made it clear
When Alessia heard Victor's words, she became a little anxious.She didn't want to see either Enzo or Dominic get hurt.Alessia left the room, and Victor wiped his mouth, proudly sighing. "Raising such an outstanding granddaughter is troublesome, always attracting trouble."When Alessia arrived at the mountaintop, she saw two equally damaged sports cars parked to the side.The two owners of the cars were hanging on the slope, climbing up while fighting and pulling each other back."What are you doing?" she called out to the two men risking their lives in this senseless fight."Sia.""Sia."Both of them, upon seeing Alessia, reached out their hands, hoping she would help them.Alessia thought for a moment and then extended both hands to pull them up."You two, use some strength and climb up first."Both men were dissatisfied with Alessia's decision to help them both simultaneously.Just moments before, they had been fighting each other fiercely. Now, they exchanged a glance and formed a
Listening to Victor's complaints, Alessia unscrewed the bottle and smelled the liquid inside.She noticed that when she took the bottle, Enzo's gaze fell on her, looking particularly nervous.She looked at him.Enzo stared into her eyes, urging, "Sia, after drinking it, you'll regain your memory."Alessia had an intuition that Enzo wasn't lying. She looked back at Victor.The old naughty boy had already sat down on the sofa, leisurely crossing his legs, not even giving her a glance.With her strong clinical experience in medicine, Alessia knew that the liquid was not poisonous.Lost memories were lost, but when it came to Elle's prenatal toxicity, no matter what reaction she would have after drinking it, she had to give it a try.Alessia closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and drank the entire bottle of liquid.
At this moment, the captain of the security team handed him a phone."Mr. Carter, take a look at this phone. Our team found it at the gate of the community during the morning patrol. It's turned off, and we can't find any information on it!"Dominic took it and almost recognized it at a glance. It was Alessia's phone.Alessia's phone was left at the gate of the community, but there was no information about Alessia in the surveillance.This proves that Alessia must have had an accident, and it was premeditated.Less than 24 hours since her disappearance, with only one phone, it couldn't prove that Alessia was really in trouble, so he couldn't call the police yet. Dominic could only arrange for the Carter family's forces to search for Alessia on a large scale.At this time, there was no need to be polite to Gordon.He also called Gordon.
Bar.Alessia drank half a cup of wine in one gulp. When she wanted to continue drinking, her glass was snatched away.Half-supporting her chin, Alessia looked at Dominic with drunken eyes."Give me back my wine. I'm happy, and I still want to drink. Dominic, be happy for me too. I not only have a dad now but also a mom."Dominic looked at Alessia, who pretended to be happy despite feeling sad inside, with a heart full of tenderness.He picked up her glass and drank the remaining half in one gulp.Turning back, his gaze was focused and gentle."Sia, of course, I'm happy for you. Actually, you can't blame Uncle Laroux for this. If I were him, I wouldn't have any favorable feelings towards any child other than the one I had with you. Of course, I would never let myself reach the level Uncle Laroux has.""Really?" Alessia
With an anxious heart, he rushed back to the hospital. When he reached the door of the operating room, he saw Dominic, Christian, Eleanor, and Christopher standing outside.Why was Dominic's family here?Gordon was stunned. At this moment, the hospital director personally handed him the consent form for the surgery."Mr. Laroux, Dr. Athena has agreed to perform the surgery on Mrs. Laroux herself. She contacted me the morning before yesterday, and I have already conducted all the necessary pre-operative examinations on Mrs. Laroux. There is no problem with Mrs. Laroux's physical condition for the surgery. You just need to sign."Alessia had already agreed.What was going on during these past few days when she chased Alessia every day for Evelyn's surgery?Was she just teasing him?Was she treating him like a fool?Gord
"Of course not." Gordon answered without hesitation, "If it were me and Evelyn's daughter, she would be the kindest child in the world."Unexpectedly, Gordon was so hypocritical.Alessia felt a bit complicated when she suddenly had that thought. She didn't know whether she should be moved or continue to hate."You can go back now, I don't need anything," Alessia said."How could you not want anything?" Gordon didn't believe it. "I told you, I'm asking for your help. You can make requests. You must have met Ava, right? If it's because of what Ava said, I can tell you now that I agree to marry her."Gordon clearly loved Evelyn so much, yet he agreed to marry Ava?Alessia looked at Gordon with a gaze like he was insane, and seeing Gordon's seriousness and pain, it didn't seem like he was pretending.She suddenly understood that when love went deep, it was
"Nonsense, I'm not doing this for Evelyn," Harrison retorted.True, driven by self-interest, he wanted to make a comeback with the help of the Laroux family. But deep down, he also resented the Laroux family, especially Alessia.So, watching the Laroux family suffer, he had no reason to help them. At most, he wouldn't kick them while they were down, just to ensure the fire didn't spread back to him."Not doing it is enough. Brother, forget about this matter. I won't ask for your help anymore. Whether I'm good or bad has nothing to do with you. Just don't send me to the hospital," Ava sighed in relief, revealing her soft side again, her emotions fluctuating.Saying she wasn't sick, some people found it hard to believe."No way," Harrison refused adamantly. "You must go to the hospital."If Ava ran wild outside for a day, she would become the fire that would in
It was the first time Harrison had ever lost his temper with her, and Ava was momentarily stunned, rendered speechless by the sudden attack.She did indeed want to coax some truth out of Harrison regarding what had happened to Alessia during the days she was detained. But Ava had long forgotten what shame was, and after a few seconds of silence, she began to cry in grievance."Brother, how can you resent me like this? I wanted to marry Gordon to help our family, what happened to Nolan was an accident, and what almost happened to Jessie was also an accident. I didn't want any of this."Seeing the tears on Ava's face, Harrison's anger subsided slightly, replaced by the familiar pain when facing Ava.Taking advantage of the moment, Ava continued, knowing that if she didn't tell some truth now, Harrison would never trust her again. So with a teary voice, she continued, "I'm not lying this time. Believe m
On the other side,It was already nine o'clock, there were no stars in the sky nor was it raining.Outside the police station, Gordon looked inside, waiting.About ten minutes passed, and Ava, still wearing the clothes she had worn in the hospital a few days ago, walked out from somewhere.The two of them exchanged a silent glance.Ava stopped and looked at Gordon for several seconds before sneering and walking up to him. "Gordon, you hated me so much, why did you bail me out?"Gordon's face darkened, “Ava, I hate you. You pushed things too far, and no one else is to blame. Look at what you've done to the Ramirez family.”“It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, how could my daughter have died? If it weren't for revenge against you, the Ramirez family wouldn't have come to this."At this point, Ava lost contro
