On the phone, Anderson said with pleasantly surprise, "Really?" "Yeah, I am serious." After getting the answer he wanted, he hung up contentedly. Clarissa let out a big sigh of relief. She suddenly remembered something, and then called Mark. "Mark, have you found out something?" "I'm still keeping watch on them! No clues have been found so far." Clarissa frowned. She was a little disappointed in heart. But she knew that it was not that easy to investigate this matter after five years, so she didn't say anything. Unexpectedly, Mark suddenly asked, "By the way, is the Chapman family related to anyone in Flaucford?" Clarissa was stunned. "What do you mean?" "Recently, I found that people in the Chapman family have frequent contacts with someone in Flaucford. It's not about business, and I haven't found the identity of that person, so I want to ask you." Flaucford? As far as she knew, Gianni was a poor coll
At this time, the little girl also saw her. She blinked her big watery eyes, and her delicate little face was full of curiosity and alertness. Just when Clarissa wanted to say something more, she heard her suddenly say, "Mommy!" Clarissa was dumbfounded. The next second, the little girl stood up and ran towards her with excitement. "Mommy! I finally found you!" Clarissa was confused. Well... what was going on? She suddenly became a mother in the middle of the night? In horror, Clarissa stared at the little girl who had rushed into her arms. After a long while, she came to sense. "I think you must be mistaking me for your mother. I am not your mommy." "Mommy, I miss you so much! They said that I couldn't find you until I came here. I didn't believe them, but I didn't expect that you're really here!" Anne was obviously very happy. She held Clarissa's leg tightly with her two small arms, refusing to let go of her.
She frowned, and her face darkened. "No, it's no bother. Take the money back." She saved Anne because she felt that she was fated with Anne, and she liked her very much when they first met, not for money. Seeing this, the old lady's eyes lit up imperceptibly. But she didn't force Clarissa to accept the money and said with a smile, "In this case, thank you so much!" Clarissa nodded and was about to leave. Anne suddenly pulled her sleeve. As soon as she lowered her head, she saw Anne looking up at her with a pure and lovely face. Clarissa's unhappy mood immediately turned better, and her heart softened a lot. She squatted down and said gently, "What's wrong?" "Mommy, will we see each other again in the future?" Clarissa smiled. It seemed that not only was she unwilling to leave Anne, but Anne also didn't want to part from her. However, she didn't think they could meet again. But she couldn't bear to tell Anne a
Clarissa was very busy that day. In the new product launch conference, although many things had been prepared in advance, it was the first time to introduce these new clothes, so the conference meant a lot. In addition, the organisers invited some new models this time. They prepared a lot because they didn't want any accidents to happen. It could be imagined how busy and complicated the preparation was. Therefore, even Clarissa couldn't help feeling a little nervous. However, she had always been good at adjusting her emotions. Even though she cared this show so much and felt so nervous, she looked calm on the surface. When the show was about to start, she went to the backstage to comfort those stars at first, and then went to talk with the designer. The style of U.MAX was varied, including men's clothing and women's clothing. Their target groups were people among 18-30 years old, and these people were willing to spend their money on clothing. I
Although she was Clarissa's grandma, since Clarissa was not sensible, she couldn't blamed her for being cruel. Thinking about this, Chloe said in a deep voice, "Don't you see Mr. Hemsworth sitting here? Don't you know him? Why don't you greet him?" Clarissa frowned. The business of the Chapman family had never had anything to do with her, so she naturally didn't think that she should greet Willy. However, she looked at Willy who had been staring at her with a gentle smile. She didn't make Chloe embarrassed in front of him and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Hemsworth." "Hey, don't be so polite. I'm just a few years older than you. Just call me Willy." Willy smiled very kindly and even flatteringly. Clarissa rolled her eyes at him in heart. A few years older? He was almost more than ten years older than her! If she remembered rightly, Willy was thirty-eight years old, and he was almost forty years old! Did he really th
Moreover, what did he mean by "someone who doesn't belong to you"? Was he referring to Elliot or Anderson? Clarissa felt it somewhat ridiculous. She didn't want to talk nonsense with Willy anymore and walked faster. Willy also quickened his pace. When he entered the dinning room, he suddenly held her wrist and helped her. "Miss Chapman, watch your step." Clarissa withdrew her hand subconsciously and turned to glare at him. She knew the way she walked. She had walked from the living room to the dining room for so many times before she was eighteen years old. Although she hadn't lived here for a few years, she wouldn't be unfamiliar with the way and fall down. Obviously, Willy did it on purpose. He deliberately wanted to behave ambiguously with Clarissa in front of everyone, so that others would feel they were close. Sure enough, Lara's coquettish laughter came from the dinning room. "Oh! I was wondering why Clarissa and Brother
Clarissa looked at her coldly, "Oh? For my own good?" She sneered, "Since she did that for my own good, why didn't she introduce Mr. Hemsworth to you? After all, you are her most beloved granddaughter." "Clarissa!" Gianni scolded her angrily. Lara showed an aggrieved expression. "Clarissa, you clearly know that I have got engaged with Elliot. How can you say this? What's more, grandma has always doted on you very much, but you..." "Alright!" Chloe interrupted Lara, turned to look at Clarissa, and said with malicious eyes. "Just say it. Will you agree to marry Mr. Hemsworth or not?" Clarissa glanced at Willy. Willy was staring at him with expectation. Although he had heard those words just now, he didn't seem to want to give up. It seemed that Chloe had told him about her relationship with Anderson. Ha! Since they dared provoke Anderson, she would fulfill their wish. She said blandly, "I didn't say that I woul
Clarissa grabbed the glass in her hand with so great strength that her fingertips turned pale. She felt she wanted to cry, and her eyes were somewhat bloodshot. After a moment, she suddenly sneered. Seeing her like this, Chloe frowned. "Clarissa has drank too much. Lena, help her go upstairs to rest." Lena smiled reluctantly and stood up, "Okay." She came over and helped Clarissa up, but Clarissa did not refuse. On the one hand, she didn't want to stay here with these people anymore. On the other hand, her head was a little dizzy indeed. She was good at drinking, but she got drunk easily if she drank red wine. Just now, she drank a half glass of red wine in one breath. The red wine was very alcoholic, and it was not surprising that she got drunk. With Lena's support, Clarissa went to the second floor. Naturally, she didn't have her own room. Lena helped her lie down in the guest room and poured her a glass of water.
"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
