“It’s me,” Damien answered.

“Why are you still here? Didn’t you return to the Hill Villa already?” Clarissa asked.

“The taps are busted. I don’t know the maintenance office’s number since I’ve never lived in this place before,” he replied.

Clarissa nodded after a split second. “Oh… Are you still leaving tonight?”

She spent a long time chatting with Lily earlier that day. After that, Leah had driven Lily back, so it was already four in the afternoon.

“Do you want me to leave?” Damien asked.

“You have legs, don’t you? It’s none of my business if you leave or not. If you’re not leaving, I’ll have Mrs. Faber prepare extra food for you. If you decide to leave…” Clarissa must have realized that she had a gentle expression on her face because she decided to put on a poker face instead.

“What happens if I do leave?”

“Then there won’t be a portion for you at dinner,” Clarissa replied.

“Well, I’m not leaving,” Damien decided.

“I’ll ask Mrs. Faber to prepare your portion, then.” After t

    ”What’s wrong?” Damien opened the door and entered the room.“My calf is cramping up,” Clarissa bemoaned. She was in so much pain, she was on the verge of crying.Damien sat down next to her and placed her legs on his lap.However, the cramps faded away as soon as he did that.Clarissa was starting to think if she had hallucinated the entire thing.“I’m not in pain now.” She quickly retracted her legs.“Have you been taking your medicine on time these days?” Damien asked.The medicine he was referring to was the ones meant to stabilize her babies’ condition.“Yeah. I’ve been taking the meds on time.”“It’s good that you’re not suffering from nausea throughout your pregnancy,” Damien commented all of a sudden.At first, Clarissa didn’t see a problem with his statement. Fear suddenly set into her after she thought about it. The reason why Damien was able to find out about her pregnancy was because of her vomiting episodes.“Did I say that in the past?”“Don’t you remember wha

    Madelynn’s palm swiped across Connie’s cheek with a loud slap.Lately, Madelynn had been greatly annoyed by Connie’s greed. Connie was Madelynn’s assistant first and foremost, yet she dared to set her heart on the path of acting. Madelynn felt that Connie was being way over her head, seeing as she didn’t have a theatrical background nor connections to help her out with her dream.For Madelynn, that slap was able to vent much of her frustration. “I told you to borrow a haute couture gown from the designers! Yet this is the best you can find?” Madelynn seethed while pointing at a hole on the gown.She was already furious at Connie for accepting acting roles here and there to begin with. That slap was the catalyst that allowed her to scold Connie all she wanted.Connie’s ego was bruised, but all she could do was endure the humiliation.“Do you still want to remain as my assistant? I can always fire you if you no longer want to remain on the job!” Madelynn continued.Now, Connie w

    Madelynn’s attention was quickly diverted to that matter. She no longer focused on Connie’s flaws as she was already distracted.Connie could only focus on her career once Madelynn’s attention was on Clarissa.“What should I do?” Suddenly, Madelynn started to feel anxious. She originally thought that Clarissa would no longer be able to win over Damien’s heart.Madelynn’s gaze changed fervently. “Why didn’t he say anything to me if the babies are his?”“That’s simple. He’s afraid you’ll cause Clarissa go through a miscarriage. He’s so protective of her, you know?” Connie was good at fanning the flames.Madelynn’s anxiety intensified. If Clarissa and Damien ended up having children, their relationship would never be severed, no matter what. In the future, those children would obtain Damien’s assets as dictated by his will. Now, Damien was even living with Clarissa despite the fact that they were going through a divorce.“Stop running your mouth! What should I do? What can I even do

    Shirley then headed toward Joseph’s room.Lately, he would lock himself in his room every time he reached home. It was clear he was depressed.“What’s wrong with you lately, Joseph?” Shirley asked gently.“Oh… It’s nothing. Just work problems,” Joseph replied.He hadn’t been doing well in his life lately. Not only did he fail to propose to the woman he loved, but his career was also filled with challenges. Thanks to Penelope’s provocation, Nathan made a brash decision to become the biggest shareholder in First. However, he knew nothing about running a firm, so he was forced to watch Damien snatch all the available projects in one go. Naturally, Joseph’s mood took a huge plunge downward. It was clear that he and Nathan didn’t see eye to eye, so he got ready to resign from First.“Are you still hung up on Clarissa?”Joseph was surprised for a moment. “Yeah.”To think he had failed his first proposal… He didn’t know how to propose to her the second time.Right now, he was stuck in

    “Clarissa, I’m here to fetch you home. After all, you’re pregnant with Joseph’s babies. Some people can forget about reaping other people’s fruits of labor, since they’ve never contributed in the first place. To think those people have the gall to imprison the fruits in their home… I have no idea what such people are thinking. The fruits should be returned to the farmer in the first place!” Shirley’s words were meant for Damien.However, Damien decided to not argue with Shirley. All he did was place a hand on his forehead, not minding Shirley’s words at all.“Mrs. Moore…” Clarissa’s nervousness grew. She was at loss for words, unsure of what to say.“Joseph told me everything, Clarissa. He said he impregnated you during your trip in Kortel, so the babies definitely belong to him. Please forgive me for being rude and biased to you in the past. Can you come home with me?” Shirley patted Clarissa’s hand gently.“Did Joseph tell you this?” Clarissa asked with a light frown.“Yes!

    The next morning, Damien had already gone to work by the time Clarissa got out of bed.She remembered that she had yoga classes every afternoon, so she didn’t know if Yvonne had changed the class schedule due to New East Corporation’s working hours.Clarissa: [Ms. Yvonne. Now that New East Corporation is back on business, should we tweak the class schedule?]A long time later, Yvonne finally replied to her.Yvonne: [My classes tend to begin during the after-work hours at New East Corporation, so our schedule won’t be delayed. However, since today’s the first day back to work, a lot of things tend to happen at the same time. Can you drop by New East Corporation? You don’t have to grab your yoga mat; just bring your yoga clothes. You can send Leah a Whatsapp message and have her pick you up later.]Clarissa didn’t really want to go to New East Corporation. After all, she had already resigned from her position there. If she were to go later, she would definitely become the center of

    Clarissa was done with her yoga session in the afternoon. Then, she sent Leah a Whatsapp message since she wanted to go home.However, the moment she arrived at the lobby, she had the urge to use the restroom.Not many people worked on the first floor, and the restrooms there were rarely frequented. So, the restrooms there were quite small compared to the restrooms on the other floors.Just as Clarissa was done using the restroom, she was about to exit her stall when she heard two voices drifting from the sink area.“Have you heard? Clarissa came to the company just now.”“Yeah, I heard the news! Her stomach is super big!”“Her mother died a gruesome death, right? Everyone here knows that her mother didn’t die in an accident.

    Benjamin walked to her side and suddenly hugged her. It was as if there were thousands of words that could not be said. Jacey did not refute. It was as if the two of them had known each other for a long time. It was as if they had known each other for a long time."Your mother did a good job with this exhibition," Jacey said."It's good. After all, you're an expert in this field," Benjamin said. "Or if you have any requests when you get married, tell my mother and let her customize the most beautiful jewelry for you.""Married?" Jacey didn't understand.She had never thought about marriage. Why did she feel so close to her when Benjamin mentioned it?She still felt quite confused."I'll treat you to a meal later?" Benjamin said. "What do you want to eat?"Jacey's eyes lit up. "Hotpot? How about a hotpot?"Benjamin smiled and said, "I thought you had a profound hobby. This is it."Jacey smiled again.Jacey didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people, so she chose the

    Kenny smoked as he spoke. He had the look of a veteran in society. It was hard not to believe that he was a nouveau riche who did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of his subordinates to save money."Sir, you've found the right person. Come and take a look." The workshop owner said. Then, he whispered a few words into Kenny's ear and asked, "Can you accept it?""What's so unacceptable about that? I'm definitely showing it to Party A. These people grew up in the countryside. What kind of milk have they drunk? I can't tell if it's true or not," Kenny said."Alright, alright," the workshop owner said with a smile."Just don't make it obvious. I'll go take a look at the manufacturing workshop." Kenny said.The owner of the workshop was initially quite shy, but Kenny said that he had ordered a lot, so the other party agreed.As soon as he entered the workshop, Jacey secretly turned on the pinhole camera when the workshop owner was not paying attention and filmed the production proce

It was unknown how long Kenny searched last night before he found it and gave it to Jacey so easily.Jacey left.However, she did not expect that something would happen on her first day there.She brought a vacuum camera and made her clothes look like rural women's. After finding the milk production point, she said that she wanted to order milk in large quantities because she heard that the milk here was very cheap.The people in the workshop looked at each other and said, "I'm not selling!"The people in the workshop were very smart and vigilant. Their workshop had a fixed delivery channel. This woman was alone and was unlikely to be here to order.

    Jacey was a little stunned. She really didn't know much about what the parents were talking about.Moreover, she hadn't interacted with Benjamin for a few days. Moreover, when Ashlyn came to visit this time, she didn't say a word about him. It made her feel very uneasy. She even wondered if he didn't mean that at all. It was all her own wishful thinking…For the past few days, Benjamin had not come to look for Jacey. She had not contacted him either.However, a few days later, Jacey received a Whatsapp message from Benjamin. There were many photos. It was a rather high-class living room. There were boxes in the living room. The living room was simple and noble, like a top-notch courtyard house.[This is the showroom and display cabinet for my mother's medieval jewelry. How about letting your mother take a look?] Benjamin said.[Where is this place? This place is so beautiful.][My mother's dowry. The courtyard house in Genovia.] Benjamin said.Jacey thought to herself, "As expec

    Today, Benjamin had already returned home."How is it? How's your first time meeting your in-laws alone?" Calvin teased Ashlyn."It's quite good. I'm preparing to hold a medieval jewelry exhibition and then let my employees learn medieval video skills. I said that I wanted to use their jewelry as an exhibition, but they didn't even want the deposit. How generous," Ashlyn said lazily as she leaned against the sofa."It's… it's over?" Calvin looked at Ashlyn and said in surprise.Benjamin sat there and smiled."What else?" Ashlyn asked."What are you going to do this time? Aren't you going to look for your daughter-in-law? Did you see what she looked like?" Calvin poured a cup of tea for Ashlyn.After so many years, Ashlyn still hadn't changed from her usual macho self. In fact, she was even more macho than before. Perhaps Calvin had been the one to deal with everything after marriage, developing Ashlyn's habit of not using her brain.Of course, it only meant that she didn't use

    For some reason, Ashlyn felt like crying when she saw this. In the past, these jewelry had traveled to another country. Now, these jewelry were all back with stories.She thought about how the person who owned these jewelry had brought them overseas and brought them back…She felt that the Irving family was worthy of admiration.Linda had gone out at some point. Seeing that Ashlyn was looking at her very seriously, she didn't disturb her.When she came in again, she was carrying a cup of coffee. The fragrant Americano she'd just ordered from the coffee machine on the first floor. It was made from good coffee beans.She handed the coffee to Ashlyn."Have a cup of coffee when you're tired. Anyway, these jewelry don't have long legs. They won't run away on their own," Linda said. "You can come and take a look whenever you want. I've always been here."Only then did Ashlyn feel that she had been watching for an hour or two, but she had always been like a pious primary school student

    On Saturday afternoon, Ashlyn drove to Jacey's house, a very simple villa.Ashlyn knew that writers liked to live in such a quiet place because they had inspiration in such a place.Jacey's mother, Linda, was already standing on her steps to welcome her.Linda was dressed in a Chinese-style robe. She looked very ancient, but because she was slender, she looked especially good. She looked like a fairy.Ashlyn was dressed in a very fashionable modern outfit. She was wearing a knee-length skirt, pearl earrings, and earrings. She looked especially round and beautiful. One look and one could tell that she was the kind of person who had never experienced the blow of life."I'm Jacey's mother. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Conrad." Linda reached out and held Isobel's hand. "Jacey said that you're coming to our house to take a look. I am so happy. I specially brought all the jewelry from the other houses here and packed them up.

    "Excuse me, how did you know about me?" Jacey asked."Oh, Benjamin's phone was on the table that day. He went to the washroom and I happened to see the photo album he was looking through. I picked it up and saw these few pieces of jewelry. You know it too. As jewelry makers, we won't let go of those rare jewelry no matter what. I asked Benjamin where these pieces of jewelry came from and he told me about you," Ashlyn said neither servile nor overbearing.She understood a girl's mentality very well. She knew that if the woman found out that the man had taken the initiative to leak her news to her parents, she would be very disgusted and feel passive. Therefore, she did not say that. Instead, she said that she had seen it herself. She even said that Benjamin was looking at these photos at that time.Jacey's heart would probably feel warm. After all, a man was looking at her photo behind her back. She should have a good impression of this man.Jacey really thought so. When she heard A

    After Benjamin returned home, he showed Ashlyn the jewelry he had taken for Jacey.Ashlyn was very knowledgeable. One look at this jewelry and she knew that it was priceless.Moreover, the girl wearing the jewelry also had extremely good skin and was extremely delicate.Calvin, who was sitting at the side, also watched.However, Ashlyn didn't just look at the jewelry. She said, "You only bought jewelry. Who is this person wearing jewelry behind you?"Ashlyn asked Benjamin gossipily."Don't ask," Benjamin said.Ashlyn smiled. "You said that you only took photos of the jewelry but didn't take photos of her. Aren't you trying to arouse my curiosity? Now that I'm curious, you're not making a move. However, I've been working on researching National Jewelry recently, so I'm lacking samples in this area. When are you going to ask this girl out? Let me take a closer look.
