At once, everyone fell into silence. No one spoke. They were all staring at the treasure in the box, as if they had forgotten to breathe. After a long while, Jara finally came to his senses. Glancing at Luca, he said in a low voice, "Only this one?" Upon hearing his response, Luca was so angry that steam was coming out of his nostrils. "It's already a privilege to have one, okay? If I wasn't running errands for you this time, I wouldn't even have seen this alive!" Obviously, Jara knew that he wasn't lying at all. Therefore, he snorted, and without a second word, he reached out to take it. Since Luca had sent the gift, there was no reason to chase him away immediately. Hence, Jara turned around and led Luca into the house. First, he handed the item over to Uncle Poick to safekeep it temporarily. Only then did he turn around and looked at Luca. In a deep voice, he asked, "What about the breeding method of the plant? Hand it over."
"Your wife Emmeline must take four pills per month, so this one is definitely not enough, so you need to continue to find the Jade of Heaven for me. Every time you find one, I will give you one Way Tree, and I will tell you how to nourish it. What do you think?" After he finished his sentence, Jara muttered to himself and didn't say anything. He had seen that there were indeed only about six fruits on the Way Tree. Thus, Coby probably didn't lie to him. As a result, he nodded his head. "Okay, that's a deal." Upon hearing that, Coby smiled slowly. "It is very difficult to grow the plant. It needs to be grown in a cold and dark area, where it can absorb the moonlight. Besides, it cannot get in contact with soil, otherwise, it will definitely die. It can only be planted in jade containers. The better the quality of the jade, the better it will grow. Furthermore, it will bear bigger fruits, and the medicinal effect will last longer." "After
With this thought in mind, she felt nervous and turned around. As soon as she turned around, she met with a pair of deep eyes. The pair of eyes were as deep as two whirlpools attempting to draw her over. She couldn't help but feel surprised as she looked at Jara. "Jara, you..." Jara approached her, and with a flick of his arm, he drew her into his embrace. His breathing became increasingly rapid as the woman's soft body clung to him. He stretched out his hand and lifted her chin, forcing her to face him. "Did you dress like this on purpose to seduce me?" the hoarse voice said. Emmeline smiled slightly. Her delicate fingers went down from his brow, through his beautiful chin, Adam's apple, collarbone, and all the way to his firm chest. "Yes, I'm seducing you, but I'm not sure if Mr. Holland will hook up with me." Her mouth curled up into a lovely smile. Jara had never seen her like this before. At this moment, it se
Clarissa was slightly stunned. Of course, she had never thought of pursuing longevity. After all, she never believed in such a thing. But just because she didn't believe it didn't mean others didn't. Coby, despite her intelligence, was still infatuated with it, wasn't he? Thinking of this, Clarissa couldn't help but have a headache. Then she sighed and replied, "Lauren, do you recall Emmeline fainting at the wedding the last time we went to Jara and her wedding?" Lauren was dazed. "Of course I do. What does this have to do with them?" "Of course, it has something to do with them! They entrusted me to looked for it, which is why I asked for your help." Upon hearing this, Lauren quaked a little. Clarissa felt she couldn't hide some things from her at this point. After all, if Lauren's news was accurate, Jara and Emmeline would have to travel to F Country. They wouldn't be able to keep it a secret at the time. Theref
Anderson nodded and accompanied Clarissa out. As they walked to the living room, he supported Clarissa and sat her down on the sofa. "What's wrong?" Anderson asked with concern. Clarissa replied lightly, "Remember when I asked Lauren to help us in the search for Jade of Heaven? She found some news, claiming that a piece of it was in Mr. Ramsey's hands. I've already told Emmeline, and I'm sure they'll be on their way soon." "Well, Emmeline and Jara are unfamiliar with the Ethanbez Family and have only met Lauren and Jameson a few times. Besides, didn't Grandma say she'd like to attend Elicia's birthday party? Why don't we accompany Grandma so that we can look for her as well as assist Emmeline?" Hearing this, Anderson looked at her and frowned. "But your body..." Clarissa shook her head. "I'm fine." Smiling gently, she held Anderson's hand and placed it on her stomach. "Look, your kids are so obedient. They don't bother me at a
Clarissa leaned forward and gave Matteo a warm hug. "Grandma, you're the best." Matteo smiled happily when Clarissa hugged her like this. At noon, Clarissa stayed for lunch. After lunch, Nora drove her to the company. She went home in the evening after spending the entire afternoon dealing with various matters. Clarissa then informed Anderson of the arrangements she had made with Matteo earlier in the day. When Anderson learned of this, he directed his personnel to make plans for the trip two days later. Since all of the adults were going to leave this time, the two kids couldn't stay at home alone. Originally, Clarissa had intended to entrust them to Gimmy for a few days. He was, after all, Clarissa's uncle. Hence, he would not mistreat the kids, no matter what. However, Anderson decided that he should bring the two kids with them since they were going to the Ethanbez Family and find Sierra. There was no reason to be c
Since Emmeline and Jara had arrived, she had nothing to worry about. Soon, the car stopped in front of the Ethanbezs house. Elicia waited at the door early in the morning when she heard Matteo was on her way. The two old ladies had been friends since childhood. As a result, there was no need to bring up their friendship. When Elicia learned that Matteo was coming over, she was overjoyed. Despite her family's objections, she insisted on greeting them personally early in the morning. The two elderly ladies hugged each other as the group got out of the cars. The scene was very touching. However, the weather was not in our favor today, and it was quite cold. Despite their excitement, they did not allow the two elders to stay outside any longer. Bowen stepped in to assist Elicia and added, "It's so cold outside, Mom. Let's go in and have a chat." Only then did Matteo nod her head. "Yes, we should talk inside. Matteo, come on in."
Zachary then got out of Lauren's arms. "You may hide, and I'll find you," he added, waving his hand liberally. Anne turned back to stop Marf with a nod. "Can Marf play with us?" This time, Zachary didn't say anything. He just pursed his lips and looked at Marf with hostility. After Clarissa's explanation just now, Marf had already somewhat understood that Zachary did not bully Anne; he was just friendly. However, Marf had been fond of saving face since he was a child. It was fine in front of his own family, but not so much in front of strangers, especially since it was their first encounter. He would never admit that he had made a mistake. As a result, the two kids stood there, defiantly staring at each other. Their faces were flushed, but neither of them was willing to concede defeat. Seeing this, Clarissa and Lauren couldn't help laughing. In the end, they did not manage to play hide-and-seek. After all, these two boys
"Hey, what are they going to talk about?" Being asked, Lauren looked at Clarissa before turning to look at the door. Then, she lowered her voice and explained, "Jameson wants to move his headquarters back to Ascijan, and recently, he has been battling with the elders of the Ethanbez Family. Most probably, he is here to ask Anderson for some advice." As everyone knew, the Jordan Group did not develop well when Carlos was managing it. After all, Carlos used to be in the military. Although he was skilled in leading his troops into battle, he didn't have much potential for doing business. Moreover, he was magnanimous, so he always put favors before money in business. If it weren't because of his rich family background, it would be hard to sustain his business. On the other hand, Anderson was different. He was a real businessman that was nimble-witted and vicious. Most of the time, when there was a crisis, he could easily turn the tables.
"I'll call you when I'm done," Clarissa added. Seeing how embarrassed she was, Anderson laughed. "Alright, be careful then. Call me when you're done." "Alright." After that, he opened the door and left. About three minutes later, Clarissa's shy voice came from inside. "I'm done." Upon hearing that, he opened the door again, tidied her clothes, and carried her out. As soon as Clarissa lay on her bed, the twins were awake. Then, Anderson carried them out and followed Clarissa's instructions to change their diapers and feed them. In fact, she couldn't feed the twins alone as they were barely a week old. So, they were fed with half breast milk and half baby fomula. Fortunately, they were in good health. When they were holding the milk bottle, their hands gripped it so tightly that sometimes Clarissa could barely take the bottle away. For the past two days, Carlos and Matteo also came. They were here to visi
After sitting down, Clarissa and Sierra held each other's hands and began to chat happily. The topics of their conversation were nothing more about children and families. Unlike Clarissa, Sierra was a housewife who didn't have much opinion. She not only had a gentle personality, but her thinking was also traditional. To her, the man had all the say. That was the reason Gianni and Chloe had the chance to ill-treat her. Last time, Clarissa didn't understand her thinking. Why didn't she fight back when her father was so mean? Even so, after having her own child, Clarissa could gradually understand Sierra's thinking. In fact, she was lucky to meet a nice man like Anderson. After they got married, she hardly suffered any injustice. However, not everyone in this world was this fortunate. In fact, most people led an extremely ordinary life with grievance and joy. Although their lives might be on the tougher side, they end
Anne rolled her eyes. "Don't you know that all newborn babies are small? You were this small when you were young." When Marf heard this, he became more shocked. Although he was intelligent, he was still young, and he was yet to learn some general knowledge. Besides, he lacked of life experience. Therefore, to him, it was surprising that there was such a small child in this world. As for Anne, she was there when Marf was newly born. So, she knew it. While clinging on the cradle, Anne and Marf kept staring at the twins with interest. Out of curiosity, Marf even poked his younger sister's face. When he felt the incredibly soft sensation of her skin, he was so surprised that he immediately withdrew his hand. With that, the baby twitched her lips in dissatisfaction. It seemed like she was going to cry, but she was too drowsy. Hence, she continued to sleep. For a while, Anne and Marf looked at her before being called over by Clariss
Staring at her, Anderson didn't know what to say. Instead, he asked with concern, "Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to prepare you some food." "Okay." Clarissa nodded. After Anderson went out, she scooted over, propped herself up, and looked at the twins in swaddling clothes. At that moment, the two plump babies were clenching their small white hands while sleeping peacefully. Looking at them, Clarissa was overjoyed, and all the negative emotions caused by the pain instantly disappeared. More than ten minutes later, Anderson returned with her food and a doctor. When the doctor saw that Clarissa was awake, he checked her wound and her condition. Once he made sure that she was fine, he called a lactation consultant to help her with breastfeeding. Then, he gave them some important advice before leaving. After that, Anderson placed the food on the small table in front of her. When Clarissa was about to sit up, he stopped he
Anderson looked at her, and after a long while, he realized that his whole body was trembling. Right away, he nodded. When Nora heard their conversation, she pursed her lips and stepped on the gas. At the same time, Clarissa directed Anderson to call their family. Well, since her amniotic fluid was broken, she would have a premature delivery no matter what because the expected delivery date was actually two weeks away. Therefore, they not only had to let Carlos and Matteo know, but they also had to ask Sierra and Robert to come over. Clarissa wanted to call Robert because he could help out if anything went wrong with her labor process. As for Sierra, her presence alone could calm Clarissa down. Besides, asking Sierra to stay by Clarissa's side was better than letting her imagination run wild at home. Anderson listened to Clarissa and did as he was told. After he called everyone, the car arrived at the hospital. Before th
Compared to her life, all the things that happened in the past were not important anymore. Now, Jara's biggest wish was to let Emmeline live healthily. As long as his wish could come true, he was willing to pay any price. After Coby's death, they found some Way Tree from his residence. However, those trees were only enough to last her for a year, and some members of the Marsh Family—who heard about Coby's death—had snatched the rest of the trees. As this tree could affect someone's life, no one would take it out again. Besides, Emmeline couldn't keep relying on Way Tree to survive. Therefore, they must try all ways to develop the antidote. However, a few months had passed, and yet, there was no progression. With that, Jara became anxious. On the other side, Clarissa's belly was getting bigger, and she was going to deliver in half a month. Because of this, Anderson rarely went to his company these days and accompanied her
With a serious look, he stared at Clarissa's belly and said, "I will make a few great robots. When they come out, I'll give the robots to them." Hearing that, Clarissa laughed, "What if your little sister doesn't like it?" Instantly, Marf's eyes widened. Because he was a big fan of robots, he thought that robot was the best gift in the world. So, it was hard for him to imagine that there were people who disliked robots. When Clarissa saw how cute he was, she giggled. On the other hand, Anderson also laughed, "It doesn't matter. If your little sister doesn't like it, you can give her a gift she likes." "As long as it is a gift from you, I believe she will like it." Only then, Marf understood what was going on and nodded. Then, with an earnest look, he promised, "Daddy, Mommy, don't worry. I will take good care of them!" When Anderson and Clarissa saw him acting like a little adult, they felt warm. Since Marf had made a pr
For a moment, Clarissa was stunned as she didn't quite understand what Lauren meant. Her love life wasn't perfect, and in the past, she even been in a relationship with a jerk like Elliot. However, since she got together with Anderson, their relationship had been smooth sailing, and they hardly encountered any setbacks. So, she thought that was how love usually worked. For Cara, Coby had actually persisted for a thousand years. This sounded like a scary and insane thing to do. However, thanks to his love for Cara, he did it. Therefore, if he didn't love her, how did he survive through those years? Seeing that Clarissa was confused, Lauren knew that Clarissa hadn't understood her words. With that, she let out a helpless sigh. "Actually, it's a good thing that you don't understand. It means that you've been living happily. If one day you understand, I will feel sorry for you," she uttered. Once again, Clarissa was dumbfoun
