Married at First Sight Chapter 3637
Caroline was unmoved by Belinda’s jab and replied, “You’re my mother, so of course, I’m concerned about you. No matter how you treat me, I’ll be concerned about you.”“How have I treated you? Do I treat you badly? If you weren’t my biological daughter, even being a cat and having nine lives would not have been enough to save you for what you’ve done.”“Sure, sure, I must thank you for your mercy.”Belinda could not resist smacking Caroline’s arm.“Ow.” Caroline deliberately yelped in pain before crouching down, clutching the place her mother smacked. This gave Belinda a shock.Belinda glared at her. “I only gave you a little smack. There’s no way I broke it or anything like that. Why did you cry out so loudly as if I slaughtered a pig?”“It hurts—it hurts so much.” Caroline did not reply, merely continuing to clutch at the smacked area and moaning in pain.After a moment of silence, Belinda still crouched down to check, though she grumbled, “I was only a little bit more forceful

Their mother Belinda was simply biased. She favored girls over boys. What could they do? This was their lot, being born into the Fisher family. Even their daughters did not have much standing with their mother. Only the daughter Caroline would eventually have was Belinda’s much-anticipated successor.If he had not been born into the Fisher family and did not have to rely on Fisher Enterprise for a living, Adrian would have wished for the Fishers to fall into chaos and for their hateful family rules to be changed. All the other families were led by patriarchs, but it was the opposite for the Fishers.“Dad, why do you think Mom and Caroline are awake this early? It’s too early for just a walk. It’s so cold outside too. Are they not scared of the cold?”There was heating indoors and though it was not snowing, the temperature was still very low. The Wiltspoonians who had come over to Jensburg rarely went out unless it was for business precisely because they were scared of the cold.Hun

“Why, Dad?” Adrian voiced the confusion he and his brothers shared.Hunter lowered his voice and said, “Your mom is inviting the Wiltspoonians over for a meal. You think that’s a good thing? Even if your mom thinks it’s a good idea, those people won’t be willing. They’re all intent on avenging the previous matriarch.”Justin said, “They can only suspect that Mom was behind the previous head’s death—they have no proof. They’re people of status and position, and without evidence, are they really willing to act carelessly? Aren’t they afraid of ending up in prison? It’ll be their loss.”Jason nodded in agreement.However, Adrian said thoughtfully, “I heard that the previous matriarch’s assistant has appeared. That old man is a resilient one. He’s nearly a hundred years old, still alive, and has even come back to Jensburg. He knows what happened back then.“Things probably aren’t as simple as they seem. Plus, someone’s reported Mr. Gordon for illegal possession of firearms. There’s no

Even if there were dangers hidden in the banquet tonight, he had to walk with her into it.“But tonight's dinner is definitely fraught with peril. You guys need to stick close to Caroline. I can promise you that it will keep you alive,” Hunter said. “Your mom won’t let her only daughter come to harm, so she’ll make sure everything is well arranged to protect Caroline. If you follow her, you’ll be safe.”Adrian frowned. “Dad, that’s just your guess. We’re her sons. If there is danger, why would she call us back? Dad, don’t overthink it.” Hunter glared at his eldest son. “You never listen to me. If you had listened and all returned to the Clark family home, I wouldn’t be so anxious tonight. And now, you’re still ignoring what I say.“Your mom has hated me to the bone for a long time. She usually doesn’t even want to see me, so do you really think she suddenly asked me to move back just for the sake of having a family reunion this Christmas? Why hasn’t she called all your children ba

The mother and daughter pair who had not slept all night were taking a walk in the courtyard. Despite the cold outside, they seemed unaffected by it. They did not talk about grievances or grudges and instead chatted about everyday matters. At that moment, they were just an ordinary mother and daughter.After walking for some time, Belinda said, “Caroline, let’s sit for a bit. I’m getting old and I can’t walk much longer.”With that, she took the lead and sat on a long stone bench. Caroline followed suit.“It’s almost dawn.” Belinda looked up at the sky. “In winter, the nights are long and the days short. If it were summer, it would already be bright by now.”She adjusted her coat and asked her daughter, “Are you cold?”Caroline replied, “Yes, it’s quite chilly outside.”Belinda reached out to fix her daughter’s collar and said, “You’re dressed too lightly. You should wear a thicker coat. You’re usually in heated places, so you don’t feel the cold, but once away from the warmth, i

All three of Hunter’s sons had children, and their wives had taken the kids back to Hunter’s hometown to celebrate Christmas, acquiescing to his arrangements. Hunter prioritized the Clarks’ offspring, while Belinda prioritized protecting her daughter, a Fisher. However, those were still her grandchildren, so she did not ask her daughters-in-law to bring the kids back. It was better for them to stay far from the conflict.Hunter had managed that part well. He understood her ruthlessness and that if the grandchildren had not left, they would not survive. His sons, however, refused to heed his advice and were unwilling to leave. Belinda pressed her lips together. Tonight, it was up to fate. If their lives were not meant to end, then they might just be saved; if they could not escape and were consumed by the flames, at least she, as their mother, would accompany them and bring many influential people along for the ride, making their deaths worth it.As dawn broke, a new day began.

Caroline glanced at the few bodyguards lying on the ground and said, “Just keep an eye on them. Don’t harm them.”“I’ve instructed them accordingly,” Darren replied respectfully.Caroline hummed in acknowledgment and quickly walked over to get into Darren’s car. Soon, he drove her away from the scene.On the way back to Jensburg, Darren informed her, “Madam Fisher has been planning this for a long time. She got Mr. Gordon to prepare a substitute for you in advance, who is currently taking your place at Fisher Manor.”Caroline rubbed her neck as she said, “I suspected she would do that.” That was why she had also made preparations in advance. When Belinda suggested going for a walk, she dropped her guard and waited for Belinda to act, leading her to think her plan had succeeded. This way, Caroline could work discreetly once she returned to Jensburg. “My mom might be old, but she still has considerable strength. My neck is still aching.”Darren continued to drive as he explained

As long as Darren was by her side, Caroline felt that she did not have to worry about anything, even if the sky were to fall. Liberty often said that Darren loved her deeply and that Caroline felt differently for him as well. She was advised not to miss her chance with Darren and to avoid saying she only wanted a sperm donor, to prevent hurting his feelings. Regardless of how things turned out between her and Liberty, the advice was always for her benefit. Caroline recognized her own feelings too and knew she had indeed fallen for Darren. It was easy to love such an excellent man. Noticing that Caroline had fallen asleep, Darren pulled over to the side of the road, took off his coat, and gently draped it over her. Even with the heater running, she could easily catch a cold because it was so cold out. He watched her quietly for a moment, then leaned over and pressed a soft kiss to her cheek before straightening himself to continue driving her back to his little home.Meanwhile, Lib

Caroline hummed. “I do plan to visit Wiltspoon to see her sometime soon. I just don’t know if I’ll be kicked out when I get there.”“And I should visit Mr. Foster too. How is he, by the way?" Patrick was the longest-living person she had ever met. Back when she lived with her adoptive family in the countryside, the oldest people in town usually lived into their eighties, and few made it to ninety. Patrick was nearly a hundred years old. What was more, he could walk without support and even travel long distances with his old friends.Liberty replied, “He’s doing quite well. Aunt Audrey accompanies him on walks every day. When they don’t go out, he sits by the cradle and watches baby Elias for hours on end.”The bond between generations was strong. When Patrick looked at Clive’s son, Elias, he felt like he was looking at his great-grandson. As Tiara’s great-grandson, Elias was naturally like his own great-grandson, too.“Dr. Carden comes by periodically to check on him and adjus

Liberty had already called Audrey to inform her about what had happened and also mentioned it to Serenity.Knowing the Clark brothers had all been captured, Serenity felt thoroughly relieved and stopped worrying that her sister would run into trouble in Jensburg.She told Zachary that Caroline never let people down.Zachary did not comment.Caroline’s fever had completely subsided, but her coughing had worsened. The doctor had changed her prescription, but the effects were not immediate.When Liberty entered, Caroline was out of bed and walking around, supported by Darren.“Caroline, why are you out of bed?”Liberty scolded her, “Get back in bed and lie down. You’re injured. If you don’t rest properly and keep moving around, you’ll aggravate your wounds, and you’ll regret it.”She did not blame Darren, though. She knew Caroline always came first to him. He always followed her lead and was unable to influence her decisions.“I’ve been lying down all day. My back is sore, and I’m

The housekeeper replied, “Yes, sir.”They did not have much work in the first place, so they did not need to slack off. Once they were done with their work, they had tons of time to entertain themselves.Hunter rushed out the door with his car keys. Despite being over seventy years old, his driving skills were still quite good. Not needing to hire a driver, he drove himself straight to Jensburg.Upon arriving at the city, Hunter did not immediately go looking for Caroline. He was unaware that she had been injured.Instead, he went to meet his old friends to ask them to help him find out if anything had happened in relation to the Fisher family last night.After he finished speaking, one of his friends said, “We were about to ask you the same thing. Your three sons attacked your daughter with knives and even kidnapped her, intending to chop her up and feed her to the fish.“Luckily, that Mr. Fletcher, who works for your daughter, arrived with the police and rescued her, but she wa

The Queen family was well-educated and had few members. Sophia had heard of other families fighting over power, but Caroline’s experience shocked her the most. Maybe it was because the Queens was close to her. Sophia quite liked Caroline as well. “How could they… You’re their biological sister!”Caroline smiled bitterly. “Are you having a fever, Carol? Your face is red.”Sophia touched Caroline’s forehead. She said, “You’re burning up. Have you informed the doctor, Mr. Fletcher?”Darren replied, “The fever started at dawn. Ms. Caroline caught a cold. Her fever subsided after taking medication once, but it returned.“It’s time for her to take her medicine.”Sophia spotted the lunch boxes. She told Darren, “Go have your lunch, Mr. Fletcher. I can look after Carol.”“It’s okay, Mrs. Queen. I can eat on my own,” said Caroline embarrassedly. It was her first time feeling cared for by someone her mother’s age. Although Sophia was not part of her family, the lady treated her

Caroline looked toward Darren. She said, “In my younger days, I often caught colds and coughs when the weather was too cold. The coughing will last throughout the changing of seasons. Therefore, I’ve been looking after my health since I grew up.“My immune system strengthened a lot. I haven’t been coughing for years.“I’m not worried.”Caroline stared at Darren lovingly. “I have nothing to be worried about with you here.”Darren pinched her face lightly with affection. “I’m still sulking. I didn’t want you to risk yourself, yet I couldn’t stop you. I’ll only feel better once you recover.”He was Caroline’s assistant and had to heed her orders. Even if they were dating, he still had to follow her arrangements.“Okay. Don’t be angry. I won’t take risks like this again in the future. You’ll age quickly if you get angry frequently. If that happens, your hair might turn gray before I even grow old.“We promised to grow old together.”Under Caroline’s gentle coaxing, Darren’s expre

Darren became an orphan when he was only a few years old. After losing everything, he was collected and trained by the training center to be an all-rounder assistant. He could not remember how he lost his parents as he was too young back then. Since he had no memories, there was no pain.Nevertheless, he had seen others interacting with their parents. He knew parents should love their children. There were not many parents who would not shower their children with love. Ms. Caroline was too unlucky to have met one. “I don’t care. I don’t care about my dad at all.”Caroline asked, “Has my dad asked you to give him money? He doesn’t need money. He just wants to know about his sons’ conditions.“Having lived for so many years, he was probably aware of the consequences of his sons’ plan and had advised them not to do it. They didn’t listen to him, so he’s just hoping to get lucky and waiting for some news.”Hunter must have known that her brothers were going to murder her. Sinc

“I’m not obliged to provide for you, Mr. Clark.”Darren would not give Hunter money. He also felt Hunter was trying to obtain some information through the call, not money. Hunter said furiously, “Aren’t you going to marry Caroline? You’ll be my son-in-law in the future. It’s like being half a son to me. Since you’re my son, you should look after your father. Quick. Give me the money.“Otherwise, I won’t let you marry my daughter.”Darren said without hesitation, “Ms. Caroline will decide for her marriage.“If we do get married, she’ll be the one in charge of the finances. I don’t have money.”“Fletcher! Are you a man? Can’t you revitalize the spirit of the Fisher family’s sons-in-law? You saw how I ended up like this. I didn’t have access to the finances and didn’t have money. I’ve been under strict control ever since I married into the family.“That was how I ended up in this miserable state. I’m telling you, the Fisher women are evil. It’s best if you don’t marry Caroline.

“Why would a husband have an affair if his wife could do well?”Ellie was exasperated. She ended the call without hesitation. “Old bastard. The apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree. All your sons cheated on their wives because they have a perverted father like you.“I would’ve divorced Jason if it weren’t for my children being too young. Look at Emma now. She even received half of Adrian’s assets and doesn’t have to look after her children herself. How relaxed her life must be.”The wealth Belinda had left behind was sufficient to afford the children’s education. Ellie still had feelings for Jason. Otherwise, she would have gotten a divorce upon knowing he cheated on her. She would not have reconciled with him with just a little coaxing and advice from her family. Since Jason did not return home the entire night, Hunter guessed his sons’ plan had failed. As he had expected, Caroline was not an easy target. After all, she was Belinda’s biological daughter. Belind

Since the call ended abruptly, Adrian’s girlfriend, Irene, muttered, “Is Mr. Clark unsatisfied with me?”She was almost twenty years younger than Adrian. If he had not been rich and willing to spend his money on her, she would not have wanted to be his lover. Adrian promised to marry her after he was done fighting a legal battle against his sister and claiming his inheritance. He would make her the missus of the Clark family. As for the three children he had with his ex-wife, he had told Irene not to worry about them.Since his mother had left some money behind for her grandchildren, he did not have to pay child support. Irene knew Adrian used to be a young master of the Fishers and that Madam Fisher was extremely wealthy. She did not expect Belinda to be helping her son take care of his children even after her death. Considering Adrian would be able to receive a huge portion of inheritance in the future, Irene decided to be with him. If she did get married to him, and gave
