Clarissa cleared her throat and said with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry. I've been busy recently..." "Ha!" Anderson sneered on the phone. Hearing this, Clarissa knew that this reason did not work. She changed the topic in a hurry and said, "Well, I planned to go home today. I was about to leave when you called me!" Anderson said in a mocking tone, "Is that so?" "Well... yeah!" "Ha... good. If you don't get home in half an hour, you will be at your own risk." After speaking, he actually hung up directly. Clarissa looked at the dark screen, and felt somewhat speechless. How could Anderson be so domineering! Half an hour? It took more than 20 minutes to drive to Estdal Manor from here, so she had to leave right away. She looked at the desk piled high with papers in front of her... Clarissa rubbed the place between her eyebrows tiredly and sighed. Forget it. Do it tomorrow! Thinking of this, she turned of
Clarissa frowned, subconsciously disliking his overbearing tone and the gesture. "But you are very busy in ordinary times, too! I have just been busy for such a period of time, not always busy." "I don't like it." In some respects, he was terribly domineering. He said in a deep voice, "Because I am a man, and I should be responsible for my family. That is what I should do. But you are different. You only need to be my Mrs. Jordan. If you are interested, you can develop your own hobby or career, but that's not the most important thing in your life." Hearing this, Clarissa was not convinced. "You mean that your job is very important, and my job is dispensable? Anderson, you are too macho!" "I told you a long time ago that I am not a canary that you keep in a cage, and you don't have to request me with your standards." "Yes, maybe my job is not worth mentioning in your eyes, but it is very important to me. I don't want to be an accessory to
Pattie paused. She gritted her teeth and cursed herself for being ignorant in heart, regretting coming here at this moment. She knew that Mr. Jordan and Mrs. Jordan were in the study. Since a handsome man and a beautiful woman stayed in a room together in the middle of the night, they must do something torrid. How could she bring them supper at this time? For Mr. Jordan, how could the supper be more attractive than Mrs. Jordan? Pattie blushed, turned around and walked in awkwardly. "Mr. Jordan, Mrs. Jordan, I came here to bring you supper." She smiled stiffly and looked at Clarissa, who was still forced by Anderson to sit on his lap. Clarissa covered her face with her hands and buried her head in Anderson's arms with her back to her, looking so shy and embarrassed. Pattie smiled more meaningfully. With a trace of relief in her eyes, she put the tray on the table next to her. Anderson didn't say anything else, but only ordered, "When I stay in t
In fact, it was because she had finally dealt with everything after having been busy for such a long period of time, and her tense nerves finally relaxed. It happened to snow yesterday. After dinner, Clarissa took Anderson out for a walk in the yard and had been in a draught for a while, but she didn't expect herself to get sick. She knew she was wrong, so she didn't dare speak any more. After the doctor dispensed and brought in the medicine, she took it obediently. Seeing that her lively face looked so weak and ill, Anderson knew that she was not feeling well and didn't say much. He asked her take a good rest at home, and ordered Pattie to take good care of her, and then went out. Clarissa lay on the bed dizzily for a long time. At noon, she finally felt better, but there a loud noise coming from downstairs. Clarissa was a little surprised. As Anderson's private mansion in Visstead, apart from servants, very few outsiders came in.
Everyone was shocked. The tea was so hot that people would get scalded by touching it, let alone be splashed with a cup of it! Everyone looked at Clarissa nervously, only to see that she had stepped aside and didn't get hurt, while the teacup fell on the opposite wall and broke into pieces. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When they looked at Chantel again, their eyes became even unhappier. Clarissa got a little angry. The reason she respected Chantel and didn't want to argue with her was that she had raised Anderson. But this did not mean that Chantel could do whatever she wanted in front of her and aimed at her for no reason again and again. With a cold face, she said in a deep voice, "Auntie, you're already in your forties, but don't you even know that you should drink the tea after it becomes cold?" "Even a child in the kindergarten knows this, but you don't know, and you even blame me. Could't you see the white steam above t
Anderson glanced at her blandly. "Oh? What did she say?" "She said that..." Gabriela hesitated, "Auntie was not as good as a child in kindergarten, and her eyes and fingers were of no use. She also said that Auntie was arrogant..." Chantel cried in grievance as she listened to that. "Anderson, how could she say those words to me? Even if she doesn't respect the Jordan family, she should be polite to me because I brought you up uneasily. But see what she did to me!" The more she talked, the more aggrieved she felt. Tears kept running down her cheeks. Gabriela quickly took a tissue to wipe her tears and comforted her, "Auntie, don't be sad. If you cry like this, Anderson will feel distressed." Chantel took the tissue and wiped her tears as she said, "Will he feel distressed about me? He has been bewitched by that b*tch. How could he care about me?" Anderson paused, and pinched the place between his eyebrows with fingers. "Aunt, tell m
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt warm behind her, and then her waist was hugged. Clarissa was taken aback. When she turned around with a scream, she saw Anderson's handsome smiling face. "Anderson?" Anderson breathed a sigh of relief, and said helplessly, "Why didn't you say anything when you came back? You scared me!" As she said this, she patted her chest. She wore a V-neck loose clothes, and Anderson could see her delicate collarbone when he lowered his head. Anderson's eyes glinted and he didn't speak. He lowered his head and kissed her lips first, and then kissed her eyebrows and eyes. Being suddenly kissed by him, Clarissa was at a loss. She was slender and she couldn't even struggle between the cooker and his body. She was forced to raise her head and could only let him kiss her. Anderson kissed her for a long time before letting go of her. He pressed his forehead against hers, and chuckled. Clarissa took a few deep
Hearing this, he looked at Lara nervously, "Lara, what the hell is going on? How could there be blood in the bathroom? It's too unlucky." Lara took a deep breath. "I don't know exactly what's going on. But since the blood appears at home, we just need to gather everyone together and investigate it." Gianni nodded. "You're right. Let's do as you say." At this moment, Chloe's old voice came from outside. "What happened? Why is everyone here?" Gianni immediately ran to her as soon as he saw her, as if the drowning person had seen the only life-saving straw. "Mom, you finally came here. Look at it. What the hell is this?" As he said, he leaded Chloe to the bathroom door. Chloe's face immediately changed when she saw the red blood all over the floor. She hit the ground with the crutch heavily, "B*stard! Who did this?" Lena explained, "We don't know yet. Lara found it in the morning when she was about to take a shower."
"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
