"Daughter, Mr. Murray, he... It's because I care a lot about you that I..." When Eric Gatti said this, he himself was about to vomit. Due to Filippo's pressure, he didn't dare to utter half a word."Dad, are you still my father? You can also kill me."Eric Gatti was worried that she might not be able to endure, so he pursued her. After father and daughter left, Uriel looked at Filippo with some concern."Mr. Murray, do you think this girl won't try to harm you?""She wouldn't dare!" Felippo's eyes widened with anger. "Even if she dares, does Eric Gatti dare? Now, help me investigate a certain matter. Last night, I heard from this girl that her brother-in-law is my son. Go and investigate the relationship between her and Clarice, but this matter cannot be transmitted to Clarice's ears.""Yes, I know. I'll investigate." Uriel promised. "Mr. Cassano, do you want to rest a bit more? It's still early." Filippo waved his hand. "I have to go home now; I haven't been home all night, afraid th
"No... No... "Clarice panicked in her heart as she repeatedly shook her head. Then, she said, "I'm curious to know how you do your facial treatment and manage to look so young!"Upon hearing her daughter-in-law praise her, a smile bloomed on Gretta's face."Do you want to know? I'll introduce you to all the skincare products I use.""Thank you, mother-in-law," Clarice smiled and held her arm with an intimate expression.Felippo's car arrived at the mansion's entrance three minutes later, and as he entered the house, he saw his wife and daughter-in-law waiting for him. After looking deeply at Clarice, he turned to his wife."Last night, there was a boss who insisted on drinking with me. I accidentally drank too much and was afraid you'd be mad at me for coming back like that, so I asked Uriel to find a room for me to rest.""I know, Uriel has already explained it to me," Gretta reached out to help him take off his jacket, turned, and instructed Beatrice, "Go quickly to the kitchen and
The group sat in the living room, and after a round of greetings, Gretta's gaze landed on Samanta and Roberto."You must be Mr. Gatti's daughter and her fiancé, as expected, you are a talented pair.""You're very kind, and indeed, today was supposed to be a meeting only for the elders, but why not gather the whole family? This way, you can meet the entire family!" Julia spoke, looking at Samanta with a dissatisfied look."I had heard from Clarice that she only had a younger brother, and that he is studying abroad, and I was worried that she had no other relatives. But now that she has someone, feel free to come to our house." Gretta smiled gently, and her tone was extremely polite.Samanta was not in the mood to listen to the conversation; she was currently restless and glanced at Filippo from time to time, only to find that he was looking at her. She felt anger and disgust simultaneously, and after Julia's reminder, Samanta couldn't help but sneer."Thank you, Mrs. Murray, however, I
"Mother-in-law, I brought you some porridge since you didn't eat much at dinner." Clarice whispered as she placed the bowl of porridge next to Gretta, who looked up, glanced at her daughter-in-law cautiously, and was no longer as angry. She gestured for Clarice to sit on the stool in front of her."To be honest, did that girl with the surname Gatti dislike you in the past?" Clarice knew her mother-in-law was concerned about her."I never had much contact with her, to be honest. I just know that she never liked me, but I don't let it affect me!" Hearing this, Gretta let out a long sigh."No wonder you told Beatrice that no one ever cared about you since you were young. It's tough for you to be born into a family like that.""It's not tough. Although I had a rough life in the past, I am actually very grateful, and maybe that's why I cherish my current life even more." Clarice replied sincerely, and even though there was no love between her and Edward, their interaction was very natural
Nicholas' MansionIn the living room on the first floor, Nicholas lay on the sofa, unconscious, and the air was thick with the smell of alcohol. Mary sat beside him, looking at his flushed face, not knowing what to do. As the only child of the Parker Family, she had always enjoyed a princess-like life, so she had never learned to take care of people.She used her phone to search for some ways to take care of drunk people, but none of them seemed feasible. After anxiously waiting for over ten minutes, her savior arrived.When Edward and Clarice entered through the door, they were hit by a strong smell of alcohol, and they instinctively covered their noses. Clarice's gaze began searching for Nicholas' figure. When she spotted the two, she immediately stood up with an expression as if she had seen her savior."Thank God you two finally arrived.""What's going on? Why did he drink so much?" Edward looked at Nicholas, who had fallen drunk on the sofa, and furrowed his brow."I don't know e
Agnes stood guard beside him, dozing off while sitting. When she heard his voice, she immediately woke up and asked with sleepy eyes,"Nick, are you awake? How are you feeling?"Nicholas, upon getting up, felt a strong headache approaching. He raised his hand to rub his temples and sat on the bed, wanting to drink some water."Are you thirsty?" she asked concernedly."Why were you sleeping sitting here?" Nicholas asked, his voice hoarse and low."You were drunk, and I was afraid something might happen to you, so I stayed here to take care of you," Agnes said as she handed him cold water. "I'll go downstairs and bring coffee for you. Wait for me for a moment." After saying that, she quickly descended the stairs again.Not long after, he saw her entering carefully, carrying a mug of coffee. Seeing this, Nicholas looked at her in surprise."When did you learn to make coffee?""I didn't," Agnes narrowed her eyes and smiled, then handed him the coffee. Nicholas received it, drank it all at
When the two heard the voice, they immediately turned their heads to look back, only to see Nicholas dressed in a suit, standing there with an extremely strong aura."Nick, you came at the right time. Clarice's hand is injured and bleeding," Agnes said when she saw him, as if she had seen her salvation. Clarice originally thought Nicholas wouldn't return to the mansion at noon, so she chose to come at this time, and she was extremely embarrassed; after all, it was just a cut finger, not a big deal.Upon hearing that Clarice was injured, Nicholas' gaze immediately fell on her bleeding finger. His long legs took a few steps forward, and in a moment, he was right in front of her. He raised his hand and grabbed her injured fingers, holding them tightly in his hands. He turned and looked at Agnes, who was beside him."Go to the tool room and bring the first aid kit.""Tool room? Okay, I'll be right there." After hearing this, Agnes immediately ran in the direction of the tool room.Now, th
After a good while, Clarice realized she wasn't heading towards her house. So, where was he taking her? Clarice was filled with doubts, but just as she was about to ask, he had already entered one of the fanciest neighborhoods in the capital, with a long lake on the way. Clarice knew there was a high-class restaurant at the top of the lake. Alice had mentioned this restaurant several times, ranking it as number one on her list of places to eat. However, getting a reservation there was more challenging than securing a Michelin star, so she had to step back.The car suddenly stopped in front of the lakefront restaurant, and Nicholas graciously opened the car door for Clarice, watching her hesitate as she stepped out of the car. "Why did you bring me here?" Her heart raced as she asked anxiously."Let's have lunch!" It was only two short words, but he had already locked the car, and his deep eyes silently fixed on the road ahead. Under the noonday sun, the contours of his face emitted a
