This child would be the only gift he gave her! Lauren didn't say these words. She smiled blandly, and there was a soft and tender expression on her face. "I've thought about it. I will give birth to him and raise him. No matter what difficulties I will encounter in the future, I will not regret my decision. What's more, even if it will be difficult, I still have you, don't I? You're my child's godmother and you should be the backer of us." Clarissa was so angry that she couldn't say a word. She rolled her eyes at Lauren. "Yes, I'll be your backer, but how should you explain to Uncle Jones? I heard that you moved out of the house because you quarrelled with him. He probably won't allow you to give birth to this child, right?" Lauren was silent for a moment. Then, she whispered, "I can't compromise on this matter. Since he refuses to forgive me, I'm no longer his daughter. Anyway... I have nothing to be proud of." Clarissa felt distressed.
"Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" Clarissa was taken aback. This voice was so familiar. She tilted her head and looked over, and the man happened to look up. Both of them were stunned. "Elliot?" "Clarissa?" "Why are you here?" "Why are you here?" They asked the same words at the same time. After that, neither of them looked happy. Clarissa was depressed. It seemed that enemies were likely to meet each other! Since Clarissa saw him on the island that day, she thought she would never see him again, but she didn't expect herself to be so unlucky. Not only did she see him here, but his box was also next to hers. Elliot's expression changed, but he quickly calmed down. He looked up and down at Clarissa. He had to admit that Clarissa was getting more and more beautiful. The nude-colored dress outlined her slender and graceful figure, and her high heeled shoes were of the same colour. Her black h
However, it was Sod's Law. Madison and her had gradually drifted apart. Clarissa didn't say anything else. After greeting Madison, she was ready to leave. At this moment, the middle-aged man sitting opposite said. "Are you Miss Clarissa Chapman?" Clarissa was taken aback, and then turned around to have a look. The smile on his face was gentle and calm. It was the kind of forgiving smile that belonged to the superiors when they looked at ordinary people. She nodded, "Yes." "I have seen your performance. Your acting skills are outstanding. I heard that you sang the theme song of the drama? I especially like that song. Could you please sing it for me tonight?" Clarissa was a little surprised. After all, "Cannon Fodder Strategy" was just a small-budget online TV drama, and Alvin did not hire any professional singers because he had to save cost. He accidentally found that Clarissa could sing quite well, so he directly asked h
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Clarissa's eyes. "Sincere? When I was deceived and hurt by Chloe and Lara before, you never helped me. Now you tell me that you're sincere? Sorry, your sincerity is really cheap in my eyes!" "You…" "Let go of me! I'm going in!" "Clarissa, listen to me..." "I told you to let go of me!" Clarissa shook off his hand. Unexpectedly, she used much strength and directly slammed Elliot against the railing. Elliot let out a painful grunt, and many people looked over in surprise. Clarissa was speechless. Her face flushed a little. Well, it seemed that drinking too much was not a good thing. She couldn't control her temper and used much strength by accident. Noticing the weird gazes of everyone around, she hesitated whether to leave directly or to take a look at Elliot. People begun to whisper to each other nearby. She had become a celebrity. Although there were many celebrities in Ladybug Bar,
In the Richardson family. The entire house was brightly lit. On the sofa in the living room, Madison sat there with a smile on her face, and Mr. Levine sat opposite her with a serious face. "Mr. Levine, don't worry! About the thing you want me to do, I will definitely treat it as my own business." Gimmy Levine smiled and said, "Of course I believe you. We have searched for so many years, but we only found that the child was the most likely to be taken to Visstead by a human trafficker, and we couldn't find any other clues. We can't find her, so I can only ask for the help of others. The Richardson family has a wide range of contacts in Visstead, so I trust you very much." "This is the reason why I came to Visstead, but this is the private affair of my family, so I hope that you won't tell others about it." "My father has been seriously ill for a long time, and his biggest wish is to find the child. No matter whether you can find her or not, please in
Although the restaurant was high-end Visstead, it was obviously not good enough. Gimmy was fastidious about his food, and he was not like someone who would eat in such a place. Maybe he came here just because he was in a hurry, or there was something special here that attracted him. Clarissa was a little curious, but she didn't ask much because she was not familiar with him. They entered the restaurant and talked warmly during the meal. The atmosphere was quite lively. Clarissa didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Gimmy looked at her with strange eyes. He was so enthusiastic to her, as if she was not someone whom he had just met twice. Clarissa stayed vigilant in heart and asked, "Mr. Levine, why did you come to Visstead this time?" Gimmy said, "I'm here to look for someone." "Oh? May I ask you who you're looking for?" Gimmy paused and said with a smile, "A child of my old friend." After that, Gimmy di
Clarissa was a little stunned. What was going on? Seeing her confused face, Anderson rubbed her head dotingly and said, "This is Gimmy, the second son of the Levine family in Flaucford. You should call him Uncle Jimmy." Clarissa's eyes widened in astonishment. The Levine family in Flaucford? Was that... Gabriela's family? She turned to look at Gimmy, only to see him nodding and smiling gently. Obviously, Anderson didn't lie to her. Clarissa suddenly felt a bit disgusted and felt that this world was so small. No wonder Mrs. Richardson and the Duncan family were so respectful to him in Ladybug Bar that day. Gimmy smiled and said, "When will you bring her home? I'll come over and join in the fun." Anderson smiled faintly, "Grandma and grandpa have met her. We will go back after dealing with the things here." "That's good!" Gimmy kept nodding and felt relieved, "It seems that Mrs. Jordan can have a happy Spring Festival this
Clarissa was taken aback. She really didn't think about that much, and she just subconsciously felt that it was always good for the girl to return to her family. Hearing what Anderson said, she felt that the Levine family was a dangerous place and it was better not to come back. If that child came back, it may not be a good thing. She suddenly thought of Gabriela again. It was said that Mrs. Levine adopted Gabriela as a compensation because that child was lost. These years, the Levine family regarded her as their biological child and cultivated her carefully. If old master Levine didn't get sick this time, they would not continue to look for that child. If that child really went back, where should Gabriela do? According to Gabriela's character, it was impossible for her not to care about it. Thinking of this, Clarissa couldn't help sighing. Seeing her sitting there in a daze and sighing, Anderson smiled. He touched her head
"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
