As Clarissa had been working in the entertainment industry for many years, she was an expert at judging all kinds of performances. Hence, by just watching the opening, she had spotted some great details. After all, it was a grand show that took place once every few years. Not only the actors sung well, but their stage setting and props were also nicely made. As the show progresses, Clarissa saw a huge stone fell from the sky. At first, the actors were frightened, but then, they became curious. Accompanied by the soothing music, they circled the stone, just like primitive people in ancient times. Not long later, dark clouds suddenly overtook the sky, and the lightning struck down one after another. Panicked, everyone quickly looked around for a shelter. At the same time, a tornado appeared on the screen behind them. Instantly, several actors were blown away by the tornado, and the stage was shrouded by sand. Just as everyone was trap
Sierra and Robert sat in a car while Clarissa and her family took the car behind theirs. Just now, she clearly saw that Sierra's car had driven away. So, the car that stopped in front of hers right now should not be Sierra's. Who was that? She was curious as the car looked similar to Sierra's car except for the license plate. And because of that, she also mistook that Sierra's car was stopping there. When her car passed beside that car, Anne suddenly exclaimed. "It's him! It's that handsome man!" Stunned, Clarissa looked outside. Indeed, it was the same man they had met in the theater. Starring at him, Clarissa was surprised. At the same time, the man turned to them as if he could hear Anne's exclamation. Nevertheless, the car windows were specially tinted. In the car, they could see outside clearly while people outside of the car couldn't see them. Therefore, the man didn't know who was screaming. "Stop! Stop!" Anne sho
But in fact, except for Jara and Emmeline, none of them had met Coby Marsh. So, if they were to stand face to face with him, they might not recognize him. Thinking of this, Clarissa began to feel dubious again. Hence, she asked with curiosity, "Mr. Coby, seeing how you're traveling alone here, don't you have a job?" Hearing that, Coby chuckled, "Actually, I'm traveling and working at the same time. Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm a photographer. As I've often heard that the desert here is beautiful, I've always wanted to come and take a few sets of pictures, but I was occupied for the last few years. This year, I finally manage to come here by using my annual leave. While we're talking about this, why don't I show you the pictures I took?" As he spoke, he took out his phone and passed it to them. Clarissa took the phone over and looked at the photos. Sure enough, he took a lot of beautiful photos of the scenery and local customs. Among a
"Clarissa, don't be afraid. I'm here." As he comforted her in a tender voice, he hugged her and patted her back gently. "Tell me, what happened?" Instead of answering him, Clarissa just held him tightly and buried her face in his chest. Because it was still early, Sierra and Robert hadn't woken up. At the same time, Anne and Marf were also sleeping soundly in bed. After Anderson felt that Clarissa had gradually calmed down, he held her shoulders, pushed her away from himself gently, and looked at her face. At that moment, she had messy hair, red eyes, and an abnormal pale face. The moment he saw that, his brows knitted. Then, when he looked down, he found that she was not wearing shoes, and her delicate fair feet were even whiter than the white tiles. At once, he was heartbroken. "Why aren't you wearing your shoes? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" As he spoke, he carried her without giving her a chance to spe
After a moment of thought, Clarissa felt that Emmeline's suggestion would work. Therefore, she agreed. "Okay. After the sketch is completed, send it directly to my phone." "Sure, no problem." After the phone conversation, Clarissa never thought of Coby anymore. That morning, Clarissa and the others went to visit other places in Oyraka. For the whole time, Sierra was with them. As for Robert, he did not come along because he was too busy in the lab. After enjoying their trip until eight o'clock in the evening, they returned home with satisfaction. Just then, Clarissa received a phone call from Emmeline. "Clarissa, I've sent the portrait to your cell phone. Have a look." "Alright." Clarissa hung up, opened the text message, and saw the sketch sent by Emmeline. This sketch was drawn by a professional painter based on Emmeline's description. As the painter had a good foundation, the man in the portrait looked real. Upo
Thinking of this, Emmeline felt relieved. "Cool. Since you've put it this way, I'll rest assured. Maybe you should wait a little longer. If he makes any moves, notify me. Jara and I will rush over immediately." "Alright." After they finished this topic, Clarissa asked, "How's your situation in Trikstin?" When it came to this, Emmeline was overjoyed. "Great! In fact, the news is true. There is a jade pendant here. Although it might be a little troublesome to retrieve it, it's not a big deal. Time is all we need." "Good to hear that." Clarissa nodded. Then, they chatted for a little while more before they hung up the phone. After that, Clarissa looked at the portrait on the phone in disbelief. "This is so unbelievable. I was just trying to double confirm with Emmeline, and it really turned out to be him!" Actually, Anderson was also very surprised. Previously, he only felt that Coby seemed complicated, but it didn't cross
Of course, Coby would not allow things to go as she wished. Therefore, the two of them fought openly. Finally, the Empress was going to die. But before she died, she sent people to the villages to find her long-lost sister. The younger sister was left to survive among the citizens when the last Empress was still alive. Only then did he realize that the Empress had made a move in advance. She had passed all her power to her sister so that one day, she could make use of her death to make her sister return and kill the High-Priest, then to regain her authority. As expected, after he was summoned into the palace that night, The Empress was dead. Everyone thought that he had poisoned the Empress, but only he knew that it was the Empress who had poisoned herself to death. He would never forget the pair of eyes, which were fixed on him before she died. In that moment, she was still smiling as she spat out blood but insisted to say, "Coby, you're ver
Therefore, she felt sympathy for the Empress' sister. However, she also knew that his life was dependent on the Empress' sister, so she didn't dare to let her go recklessly. On the other hand, she could not allow herself to continue to starve. In the end, she finally came up with an idea that could barely be counted as a compromise. She tried to change her face so that she could make her happy. Once her mood was lifted, perhaps she might want to eat something. After all, Cara lacked the emotions of a human being, so her mind was relatively simple. Although she had been here for a long time, she had gradually understood human feelings. But at the end of the day, she did not fully understand it. When she tried changing her body shape, the Empress' sister reacted just like how Coby did. She was frightened and even felt that she had seen a monster. But as she changed into her pink and tender little face, which looked kind and harmless
"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
