"Sogro, don't worry. Clarice is already my wife, so I will take her place and show you my filial piety." Edward smiled respectfully, but within that smile was a hint of coldness. Robert took the check and left happily, and Edward then looked towards the main entrance. The smile on his face had completely disappeared, leaving behind a cold smile. When he returned to the side corridor, Clarice was nowhere to be found. He asked the servant and found out that she had returned to the room.He went up the stairs and arrived at the door of the room. He raised his hand and was about to open the door to enter when he heard quiet sobbing sounds from inside, making him pause for half a second before finally releasing his hand. He turned around, and as he was heading to the office, he saw Beatrice coming with a tray, heading towards the room."Mr. Murray, you're here." Beatrice stopped when she saw Edward, and he looked at the tray in her hands and asked, "What is this?""Oh, this is a nutrient-r
"I won't fill your head anymore; go to bed and try to get some rest. I'm heading to the office; there are still some company matters to work on," Edward spoke as he helped Clarice onto the bed. After placing her on the mattress, he turned around and left the room. Clarice lay down silently, staring at the ceiling. She had experienced many things that day, her emotions were fluctuating, her mental energy was depleted, so not long after, she fell into a deep sleep.When news of Clarice's marriage reached Alice's ears, three days had already passed. Of course, she still heard the news from Agnes.That night, after leaving work, she was about to head to the company's bus stop when Mary's car passed by her and stopped to call her. Seeing that Mary actually remembered her, Alice was surprised and happy. While the two were talking, she realized that the reason she was remembered was because of Clarice.When she found out that Clarice had obtained the marriage certificate with Edward, she was
"Friend!" A cold voice suddenly came from the front, and upon receiving Alice's words, Nicholas's gaze shifted away from Clarice."So, you're a friend of Mr. Murray." When the middle-aged man heard this, he smiled and asked Alice, "Are you both going to eat?""Yes." Alice replied brightly."Since you're a friend of Mr. Murray, then you should be our friend too. Since we've met by fate, why don't we go together?" While the middle-aged man spoke, his eyes swept over Clarice a few times. "Mr. Murray, what do you think?""No need, we won't disturb your meal." Clarice had already recovered from the shock now and didn't even think of refusing.As soon as the elevator reached the entrance of the cafeteria and the door opened, Clarice immediately pulled Alice out of the elevator and entered the cafeteria. After the waiter at the door checked the information, he led the two to the table they had reserved earlier. After ordering the food, Alice looked at Clarice suspiciously."Clari, what's wro
Certainly! Here's the translation:Was it because she was too sensitive that she had an illusion? She shook her head, telling herself not to overthink, and after dinner with Alice, the two were getting ready to leave. However, Alice, who couldn't stomach the expensive food here, had a stomachache and went to the bathroom shortly after. Clarice stood at the elevator door and waited for her.Suddenly, a man approached her from behind, looked at her, and asked, "Miss, are you a friend of Mr. Murray?" Clarice looked at him suspiciously but didn't answer. "Mr. Murray is in the underground parking lot, and there's something he wants to tell you. He instructed me to bring you to him," the man said again.At this point, Clarice could basically be sure that the Mr. Murray this man was referring to was Nicholas. But what was there to say between her and him? "Go tell Mr. Murray that I'm waiting for my friend and don't have time to meet him," she said. The man refused to give up, saying, "Miss,
The sound of the lock being opened from outside could be heard, and Nicholas' figure entered from outside. He didn't turn on the lights and borrowed the light from outside to walk towards Clarice."You can go now," he said, but no emotion could be heard in his voice, and his tone was icy."Nicholas, let's explain everything clearly." Clarice raised her head, looking at the blurred face in the darkness. He didn't say anything and just stood in front of her in silence, looking at her extremely conflicted face."You helped me in my most difficult times, so I am very grateful to you. But now that you are already married to someone else, and I have also married someone else, can you forget the past and just pretend that nothing happened between us? Only by erasing the past can we move forward. Since I decided to marry Edward, I no longer expected that there could be another possibility between us. Since I was going to break the bond, I would break it completely.""Do you want to draw such
"Is that so? You forgot the time so much that you even turned off your phone? Your friend is quite capable of making you ignore my words. Do you remember what I said when you left? Your phone was off?"Clarice suddenly remembered this matter and immediately picked up her phone. Upon opening it, she saw numerous missed calls and messages, making her phone seem like it was about to explode."Madam, when you left and didn't return early, it worried the madame and her husband, so he went out himself to look for you in the middle of the night and still hasn't returned home," Beatrice said from the side, and when Clarice heard this, she realized she was in trouble."I... I will call him immediately and tell him that I am fine. It's too dangerous for him to be out at night," Clarice said hastily."Now that you think about it, didn't you know your family was waiting for you while chatting happily with your friends?" Gretta had been waiting for her all night and w
" I knew you'd be worried about your grandson, but don't worry, I cooked nutrition for her a while ago, and I'm just reheating it. I'll send it to you right away," Beatrice replied and smiled.In the room, Edward sat Clarice on the sofa until the numbness in her legs subsided from the time spent kneeling. At that moment, Beatrice knocked on the door and entered with Clarice's supplement. Edward seemed uneasy as he took the food from her hands."Beatrice, has my father not come home yet?""No, sir. Jason called President Filippo, but his assistant said he drank too much and was in a hotel, so based on that response, we believe he won't be back tonight," Beatrice replied promptly."He's staying out? And my mother, has she gone to bed?""Madam is lying down, but she hasn't slept yet; she's just waiting for my update on your father.""Then tell her that my father will be back late at night and that he told her not to wait for him but to go to sleep," Edward thought for a moment and said.
"At the VIP 888 booth of the city's famous high-class private club, three middle-aged men sat together playing poker. Next to them was a beautiful woman serving whisky and water. In the middle of the game, one of them kept receiving phone calls."Sir, you should answer the phone first. If this continues, Mr. Murray won't have the desire to play cards because of it," one of the men said, looking at the other who was repeatedly hanging up the phone."Mr. Murray, I apologize; something came up!" After the man heard this, he smiled and said to Felippo, "Aren't you going home tonight? I'm afraid Madame is worried. How about we finish here today?" Felippo had lost interest in playing cards; he wrapped his arms around the beauty next to him and said with a slight smile."Mr. Murray, you've misunderstood. That call wasn't from my wife; it was from my daughter. However, don't worry about her; let's play a few more rounds. We should definitely let Mr. Murray enjoy as much as he wants," Eric Gat
