No one knew that he actually had ulterior motives.

And that Cara's identity was a secret.

It was a secret that couldn't be revealed in this world.

After all, even if he believed that Cara did come from another planet and was not a monster, others would not believe it.

No matter what the purpose of the other party was, the moment Cara's secret was revealed, death was the only thing that would await her.

But, he would never allow this to happen to her.

Therefore, anyone who knew this secret, except for him, had to die.

Including the Empress' sister, whom Cara regarded as her friend.

But he knew that Cara would not get it, so he never mentioned it to her.

Now that he thought about it, if she had mentioned it a little earlier, would there be a different outcome?

However, how could there be so many 'ifs' in this world?

For example, back then, he had decided to take advantage of Cara to take over the world and seize power.

    Bending over, Clarissa held up a handful of snow. She smiled and said, "This is the first time I've seen snow in the desert. I'd like to see if there's anything different from what we've seen from home." Seeing that, Anderson pulled her up and brushed away the snow in her hand, then said with a serious expression, "Don't mess around. Be careful not to get frost bite." Clarissa felt that he was too controlling now.  She was allowed to touch this and that, which made her look like a doll that would shatter once touched.  Therefore, she couldn't help but laugh and replied, "I'm fine, don't get too anxious." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to catch a few more snowflakes. The snow melted upon contact with the skin. As a sense of coolness crept into her fingertips, she thought it was fun.  When Anderson saw that, he felt helpless.  There was nothing he could do about it. In the end, he could only let her go. After Clarissa played

    As soon as they came in, the man immediately stood up from the sofa. Maybe it was because they didn't know each other, he looked a little shy and embarrassed, but Sierra didn't recognize him. Then, she and Clarissa exchanged a glance at each other and said nothing.  At this time, Robert finally walked into the living room.  "You're back." As Robert came up to her, she didn't know what he had done just now, for his hands were slightly wet.  At that moment, he was wiping off the water with a towel while introducing the man with a smile. "I told you before that I have a friend who is a top scholar in the field of plants, right? Today, I have invited him over. So let me introduce you. This gentleman here is Clint Vale, a world-renowned plant researcher. Clint, this is my wife, Sierra. They are my wife's daughter and son-in-law, Clarissa and Anderson, and these are their children." After Robert introduced them one by one, Clint stepped forward and reached

    "Yes, but it can't really be an ice cellar. It just has to be a place as cold as an ice cellar, or a cold basement." After some thought, Robert shook his head. "You're making things difficult for me. I have a basement, but it's not cooling. You know, we're in the desert. To find a cooler place in the desert, don't you think that's impossible?" As soon as he said that, Clint immediately frowned. "What should we do? Without a suitable geographical environment, it's impossible to plant it successfully." In a deep voice, Anderson asked, "Do we really need a place like that?" "Yes." With some thought, Anderson said, "If that's the case, why don't we move to another place? I have a mountain villa in Ascijian. It fits the geographical and environment you describe earlier." "In Ascijian?" With a change in his expression, Clint immediately shook his head. "No, I won't go there." Upon receiving his answer, Anderson was stunned.

    Initially, he had thought that they would stay a little longer. Clarissa smiled and said, "They're old after all. They miss home and can't stay outside for too long." "True." Then, Anderson walked over and handed her the glass of milk in his hand. Taking the cup, Clarissa took a sip before asking, "What time is it?" "Two o'clock. It's still early." Clarissa nodded. After a pause, she asked, "I was just thinking, should we go back too?" In response, Anderson asked, "When do you want to go back?" "How about tomorrow? I have checked the weather forecast. The day after tomorrow is sunny. After coming out for such a long time, it's time to go back. Anne has to go to school." "Okay, when we have dinner this evening, let's tell mom about it." "Okay." After the two of them made up their minds, Clarissa brought up the matter at dinnertime. Sierra's expression changed immediately when she heard that they were about to leave.

    When Sierra heard this, she couldn't help but laugh heartily. As she looked at Clarissa's slightly raised belly, she was actually excited for it. She didn't know what it would be like when the baby was born. She never bore a child of her own. The only child who was born in the past had died because of an accident. Therefore, even though she had Clarissa later on, she still felt a little regretful about the matter of her child. Fortunately, it was a long time ago, and she had let go of it already.  After they made up their minds, they packed up their things together and went to tell Robert.  Before going to Robert, Clarissa first looked for Anderson and brought it up to him. After hearing this, Anderson agreed very much with Sierra's decision to go back with them. As for Robert, as long as Sierra wanted to go, he would have no choice but to agree. With these thoughts in mind, the group of people went to Robert. When Robert lear

    Upon receiving the compliment, Anderson became humble. "You're welcome. We're a family. If you're happy Clarissa will be happy. If Clarissa is happy, then I'm happy." Quietly, he threw out a subtle affection toward Clarissa.  Sierra couldn't help but laugh when she saw this. That night, Robert tossed around on the bed for a whole night, but he couldn't fall asleep. He came to the desert when he was ten years old. It had been more than 30 years since then, and this place had already become his hometown. It was not easy for him to leave this place. However, Anderson's request was simply too tempting. On top of that, Sierra... Alas, he was not comfortable for Sierra to go to Ascijan alone. After all, Sierra had never left his side in the past few years. She had not completely recovered either. Although she became much better at communicating with strangers than before, in truth, her mood was still very unstable. Most of the time,

    Shaking her head, Sierra sighed, "Forget it. Your work is so busy and I've already caused you a lot of trouble. I don't want to cause you any more trouble." When Clarissa was about to say a few words to persuade her, she was interrupted again. "Don't tell me that I haven't caused you any trouble. I know that Robert agreed to go to Ascijan with us this time because he was worried about me and because Anderson promised to provide him with a better medical laboratory. He also promised to give him a sum of money and let him control it. Although this money may be nothing for you, I can't take it for granted. Clarissa, it is your luck that you are married to Anderson. But we can't take advantage of it just because he treats us well. That's not a good thing to do."  Clarissa couldn't help but laugh when she explained her reasoning.  "Mom, I haven't said anything yet. Look at you, how many sentences have you said?" After letting out a sigh, she held Sierra's hand,

    "Okay." As the driver spoke, he turned the car at a corner and headed in another direction.  Meanwhile, on the other side. In the castle, Anderson was sitting in the living room, playing with the two children. The door was suddenly knocked open. Then, a man with blond hair and blue eyes stumbled in. His eyes were blank and his head was still bleeding. As soon as he entered the door, he collapsed in front of Anderson. "Mrs. Jordan, something, something happened to her." After finishing this sentence, he passed out directly. ...... When Clarissa woke up, she found herself lying on a luxurious big bed. The aching sensation from the back of her neck caused her to let out a soft hiss. She was struggling to sit up, but as soon as she moved her legs, she heard the sound of iron chains colliding. Her face changed. Turning around, she found that her hands and feet were tied up with four big iron chains. One end of the

    "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
