In fact, Clarissa was very afraid of closing her eyes when she was conscious. After all, after experiencing all the pain in the past, she did not trust everything around her subconsciously. It was okay when she kept her eyes open. But if she closed her eyes when she was conscious, she couldn't see everything happening around her, and the fear buried in her memory would come over her. Therefore, it took great determination for her to close her eyes in front of him and trust him. Anderson noticed that her fingertips were trembling slightly, and he pulled her into his arms and asked, "Are you feeling cold?" Clarissa shook her head. She pursed her lips and swallowed. Finally, she asked with trembling voice in fear, "Will you let go of my hand?" "No." His voice was firm, which made Clarissa feel relieved. As long as he was here, she would not be so scared. Soon, a strong wind was blowing right in her face, and the sound of the prop
She nodded. With her eyelashes trembling slight, she closed her eyes. Anderson's deep and sexy voice sounded, "One!" "Two!" "Three!" She opened her eyes. The surroundings seemed to be lit up for a moment. But when she opened her eyes, she did not find the light source. Anderson reminded her, "Look at your feet." She lowered her head and looked down. Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide in surprise, and covered her mouth in disbelief! Under her feet, there were the bright lights of the entire town. Numerous colorful and bright lights formed two simple English letters very appropriately. "Marry me!" She stood there dumbfounded, and couldn't react for a while. Anderson suddenly loosened her hand, and then she heard his magnetic and gentle voice. "Clarissa, would you marry me?" She immediately turned around. Anderson had walked two steps away. He knelt on one knee, held a delicate pink diamond rin
Clarissa shook her head. To be honest, she really didn't know. Although the entire town was not very big, it is not too small. Since she could see all the lights of more than a hundred thousand families in the town, it could be imagined that they should be in a very high place. She could see the night scene of the whole town from here, and there was a long starlight road under her feet. She really couldn't think of where she was. "Look back." Hearing this, Clarissa turned her head and looked back. Her eyes immediately widened in surprise. What was going on? The stars were shining bright, and the rose petals slowly fell down to the ground as if they were being blown by the wind. Immediately afterwards, something seemed to spread upward like a moving house. It was wrapped in four directions and was moving in parallel. She could almost feel something shaking slightly under her feet. But it stopped after a short while. When
She held the cup and sipped it. Anderson poured himself a glass of wine, took her hand, and sat down on the sofa. At night, the mountain became quieter and quieter. In the transparent glass house, they lay on the sofa together and drank casually. The stars were shining in the sky, and there were lamps and candles of myriad families at the foot of the mountain, which made them feel warm. Clarissa boasted that she was good at drinking, so she never hesitated to drink. Unexpectedly, she felt a little dizzy before she finished the wine in her glass. She leaned on Anderson in a daze and asked, "Anderson, why do I feel dizzy?" Anderson lowered his eyes and glanced at her. He especially got this top-quality wine from the cellar of one of his good friends. It had a good taste but a strong delayed effect. This was why he only allowed her to drink one glass of it. Clarissa's cheeks blushed and her eyes were drowsy. Seeing this, he immediately knew
He narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Honey, do you think we should do something we love in such a good atmosphere?" "What?" "You really don't know?" "I... don't know..." "I will tell you now." "Oh, Anderson..." ...... The next day, Clarissa woke up with a pain in her back and waist. Last night, Anderson was so beyond imagination on bed. No matter how she begged him, he refused to let her go. Clarissa regretted it so much! If she knew it early, she wouldn't agree with him last night, and she even came to the mountain! But the happy thing was that Anderson took the initiative to carry her down the mountain because her legs were so sore that she couldn't walk for too long. The temperature during the day was not as low as it was at night. The dump air from the sea was right in their faces, and they could smell the salty tang of the sea. Clarissa lay on Anderson's back and looked a little listless because of l
When they had to leave, Matteo came to take Anne. Seeing that Anne didn't want to leave her, Clarissa felt a little sad. Unexpectedly, Anne suddenly grabbed the hem of her clothes, blinked her big eyes and said crisply, "Mommy, I heard from great grandma said that you and daddy will soon give birth to a little brother for me. Is this true? " Clarissa was so confused. Matteo's body froze. Even Anderson, who was standing aside, stopped his movements and looked at her in astonishment. Time seemed to have stopped at that moment! Anne was a little stunned. After several seconds, she found that she had said something that she shouldn't say! She exclaimed, and suddenly covered her mouth with her chubby hands. She blinked her big and watery eyes, and looked at Clarissa pitifully. She thought, "Woowoo... mommy, I didn't mean that!" "I don't want to lie to you, and I just want to stay with you!" "Great grandma said that as l
How could Anderson be willing to let go of her? He knew that she hated to be cheated the most, and maybe this matter would affect their relationship. So he humbled himself and said to please her, "Honey, I am really sorry. This is my first time to make a mistake, so please forgive me!" Clarissa gave him a fake smile. Anderson was extremely wronged. After a while, seeing that he still didn't want to let go of her, Clarissa had no choice but to say, "I can forgive grandma and Anne for lying to me, and I can also understand that grandma wanted to test my character so she deliberately acted like that. I don't even mind that she used my kindness to trample on my dignity, but..." She took a deep breath, looked at Anderson seriously, and then said solemnly, "I don't allow you to do this! Because you're the one who wanted to marry me and be together with me. However, you not only did not stop her, but also helped her lie to me. I don't know what this means,
The glass is double soundproof. The weather had turned cold again, so the window was not opened to ensure that the room could stay warm. Anderson's voice was cut off by the glass, and Clarissa couldn't hear him clearly. She could only tell vaguely from the shape of his mouth that he let her choose. Keyboard or durian. He would definitely kneel on one of them! He had really realized his mistake! Anderson, who was always proud and noble, was like a child who had made a mistake at the moment, waiting nervously for her reply. Clarissa felt a little bitter in heart for no reason. Her feelings were complicated and unspeakable, but she also got a little touched. This kind of feeling made her eyes glisten with tears. She raised her head and blinked, trying to hold back her tears. But tears shed down her face uncontrollably. Probably she was really wronged. No matter whether Anderson meant it or not, he hurt her sensitive self-esteem undoubt
"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
