"‘You misunderstood, he didn't hurt me, he just had an accident,’ Clarice quickly explained to him.
‘But he forgot about you, your children, your family. For you to be intimidated like this by his mother, now that you can't even enter your own home or see your own children, what kind of injury do you need to suffer to be equal?’ Sometimes, Edward really couldn't understand Clarice, just like back when they were married.
‘Nicholas married another woman and delayed her, but she harbored no hatred toward him. How much did he love her to be so unprincipled and understand the harm she had done to him?
‘He had an accident saving me, and if it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't even be alive now.’ As Clarice thought about the car accident scene, she felt her whole body go numb.
‘Is that really the truth?’ Who would have thought Edward would mock the doctor and ask a question.
‘What do you mean by that?’ Hearing this, Clarice was stunned.
‘Do you
"Do you know if Luna has been very busy lately?" Edward asked."I think so, because every time I call, she can't answer," Clarice replied."Understood!" Edward responded. "The Real Group company is preparing to invest 5 billion in the city of Los Angeles this year to build a huge film and television company with a theme park and a luxurious five-star hotel. They are currently in talks with the government and are in the process of selecting a location for inspection," Edward said."So? What does this have to do with me going there?" Clarice asked with a confused expression, and at this moment, Edward chuckled."Nicholas personally approved this project, it's impossible for him not to go there and take another look.""You mean Nicholas is going to Los Angeles? But his injuries haven't fully healed yet," Clarice said with wide eyes."Of course, he can't go right now. At the very least, it should be another half a month. However, knowing his wor
"Sorry, everyone. I believe you all know that Mr. Murray had an accident recently, and now that he has recovered from his serious illness and been on the plane for over two hours, he must be tired." Upon hearing this, everyone naturally didn't dare to approach. They bid Luna farewell and turned to leave.At that moment, Clarice was standing with Marta. Seeing the people who had come to fetch her, she hesitated whether to step forward or not. Then she saw Marta walking up to her with a smile, pulling her towards Nicholas."President Murray, I'm Marta, the general manager of the Los Angeles hotel, and this is the guest room attendant our hotel arranged for you, Miss Clarice," Marta introduced.Only now did Nicholas lazily shift his gaze to Clarice, who stood beside him. When he saw Clarice's face, he seemed slightly surprised."Is it you?""Mr. President, do you still remember her? That would be great. I heard Clarice served you when you were working
Quando Clarice viu Nicholas, her anger instantly disappeared and her heart filled with joy; surely, he couldn't remain indifferent, and she thought he was truly heartless.It seemed Edward was right; even if he had lost his memory, his feelings wouldn't change, and in the end, he still couldn't harden his heart towards her."If it's not useful, then shut up. Don't say anything," she cheerfully opened the car door and got in. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Nicholas say, and Clarice swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. There was no need to mention how depressed she was in her heart.At that moment, Luna, who was in the front row, picked up her phone and secretly sent a message to Clarice, who heard the sound of a 'ding' from her phone and quickly picked up her phone to take a look, seeing Luna telling her that she had told Nicholas about the accident.When Clarice saw this message, she suddenly understood why Nicholas had
"Clarice, congratulations, you're two months pregnant!" The doctor exclaimed with excitement, but Clarice just stared at the white wall, completely unresponsive.Pregnant? What do you mean? By him?"Are you sure, doctor?" She asked, feeling her heart pounding in her throat."Absolutely certain. When you described the symptoms you were experiencing, I had no doubt," he replied, and Clarice felt her world crumble. She couldn't be pregnant; she didn't have the financial stability for it. Moreover, she had to take care of her younger brother.She left the doctor's office with the envelope in her hand and walked slowly to her job. Coincidentally, or perhaps not, the father of her child was her boss. After all, she worked as a governess in the house of Nicholas Murray, a man who was unknown to her until recently. He had been giving her money in exchange for sex, but what was meant to be a casual arrangement had become something dangerous. Now, she had nowhere to run, and she had to tell the
Before she could say anything, she saw him lean in, and his thin, warm lips, carrying a strong masculine scent, covered her soft, rosy mouth without warning. Due to the surprise, her entire body stiffened, and her brain lost the ability to think. Her bright, wide eyes widened, and she didn't know what to do.His kiss brought with it an electric current, making her entire body tingle and her legs go weak. She raised her hand reflexively and pressed it against his chest. She had originally intended to push him away, but in the end, she somehow moved to his shoulder and clung to him, afraid of falling.The kiss, originally as light as a dragonfly touching water, suddenly turned passionate, and his palm landed on her slim waist, forcing her whole body to press against him. Breathing in the fresh air once more, Clarice lifted her head and looked at the enchanting face just inches from hers. Taking a deep breath, her nose was filled with the faint cologne scent coming from his body. He was
Clarice returned to Nicholas's mansion, only to find that he wasn't there. She went up to the bedroom and lay on the bed. Hours passed, and it was nearly 7 o'clock in the morning, but he still hadn't returned. Clarice knew that her relationship with Nicholas was beyond repair, but she didn't know how to tell him that she was expecting his child. She wasn't doing this for herself; she wanted her child to have a chance at having a family. But now, after finding out about Nicholas's engagement, what should she do?Looking at the turned-off phone screen, Clarice felt a wave of disgust. She rushed to the bathroom and vomited again, and while waiting, every minute and second was torture. Clarice sat on the couch, expressionless, watching the bells on the wall move in circles."Miss, don't think too much. Mr. will be back soon, and he will surely give you an explanation," Sonia tried to console her, seeing her troubled expression. She knew it wasn't normal for Nicholas to sleep away from hom
It's been three to four hours since Clarice arrived at Alice's house last night at four-thirty in the morning. She called Alice to rescue her, and Alice immediately said yes. The next morning, she accommodated Clarice and went to work. Clarice, who hadn't slept all night, looked at the Golden Osmanthus Tree outside her window with a heavy heart.How did she end up like this? In the end, she overestimated her own abilities and desires. Perhaps she should have known that, with her birth and background, how could she be worthy of Nicholas's honorable identity? The Cinderella and Prince story only existed in fairy tales.In the evening, after Alice finished work, she rushed home immediately and dragged Clarice out for dinner. Clarice originally had no appetite, but she forced herself to focus and followed her to the restaurant at the entrance of the small district.They sat down and ordered. Clarice smelled the fragrance of food from the adjacent table and frowned, clutching her chest. Al
**Group Royal.****Office of the President.**A whole day had passed, but Nicholas hadn't received any news about Clarice. It was as if she had vanished from the face of the earth without a trace. Outside, Luna gently opened the door to the President's Office and entered.Nicholas looked up and gazed at Luna, who was approaching him."Did you find her?" His voice was somewhat hoarse, but Luna simply shook her head."President, we've searched for her and even asked her father, but no one knows where she is!""Could she have gone to find her mother?" Nicholas asked, thinking of Julia."I find that highly unlikely. The Gatti family humiliated her too much last time, and with Clarice's personality, she would never seek out her mother," Luna said with conviction.Nicholas's face gradually darkened, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness."Go and find her, no matter what method you use, you must find her for me, do you hear me?""President, actually..." Luna's expression seemed a bit hesitant
