Lauren burst into tears. Tears rolled down her face like beads of a broken string. Lauren felt her heart was being crushed. It was sore and swollen as an indescribable feeling spread all over her, causing her to shiver. Jameson sighed and held her in his arms. Lauren cried even harder. She clung onto his clothes and buried her face in his arms, crying like a child. It had been five years and four years of separation. After a night of madness, she gave birth to Joy all by herself later on. All the feelings, resentments, and right and wrong between the two of them made her exhausted. But now she felt like giving up. Now, Lauren only wanted to take the child far away and live a quiet life. She did not want to be in love anymore. It hurt. She had even given up her status as the eldest daughter of the Jones family and her father's pampering for this. However, at this point in time, he had come to speak such words to her to reconcile the
Jameson turned his head and glanced at her. Under his gaze, Lauren could not hold back her feelings as she complained, "The proposal wasn't romantic at all. Besides, there's no wedding ceremony being held, so I won't admit that we're married. Dream on, Jameson." Jameson shrugged indifferently. "It doesn't matter, as long as the law recognizes it." Lauren was speechless. The car soon arrived at the airport. When she looked at the flight ticket that had been prepared by Jameson in advance, Lauren hesitated. She knew what was going to happen when Dexter found out about what had happened after he returned home, but Lauren still followed him to board the plane. Lauren also knew that once she made a choice, there would be no turning back for her. Even if Lauren had told him that she did not recognize their marriage, deep inside her heart, she had acknowledged the fact that they were married. She had voluntarily signed up for it. The marriage ce
Jameson could not help squinting his eyes happily after seeing her reaction. "Mrs. Green, are you satisfied with what you saw?" He wiped his hair with a towel while asking. Lauren blushed and coughed awkwardly. She then pursed his lips and said untruthfully, "Who wants to look at you! Shame on you!" As she said that, she turned her back against him, pretending not to ignore him. But Lauren didn't know that the more she tried to hide it, the more it showed that she cared. Jameson was suddenly in a good mood as his anger before had subsided. He dried his hair, removed the bath towel and climbed onto bed. Lauren was still trying to figure things out when somebody was approaching behind her. Shocked, Lauren sat up and looked at Jameson who was climbing onto the bed while lifting the blanket. Lauren suddenly screamed, "What are you doing?" Jameson raised his eyebrows innocently. "I'm going to sleep." Lauren glared at h
After all, Clarissa knew how hard Lauren's life had been in the past year. She had cursed him countless times before, the heartless man who had no responsibility at all, even when Clarissa didn't know who he was. He didn't show up when she gave birth to their child. Lauren had to go through all the sufferings by herself. Clarissa's expression darkened at once. She obviously looked displeased now. Although Clarissa also knew that there might be some undisclosed twists and turns that they had experienced, she still couldn't help but to make snarky remarks. Jameson wasn't not bothered about it. He knew that Clarissa and Lauren were close, so he would not really take such a trivial incident to heart. After they fetched Joy, Jameson took Lauren home. Although Clarissa still disagreed with Lauren being with him in this matter, it was, after all, their private affair. She was in no position to intervene in it. Fortunately, Lauren had found her contrac
Clarissa pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then agreed to her. "Alright, get in." Gabriela parked her car at the back before sitting in the front passenger seat of Clarissa's car. Clarissa felt a little embarrassed. After all, this was the second time that she ran into Gabriela and Aaron being together. As the saying goes, once the accident, twice the coincidence, third the pattern. Not to mention Gabriela, even Clarissa herself could not believe that there would be such a coincidence when they ran into each other twice in a row. "Miss Levine, what do you want to talk to me about?" Although Clarissa knew it in her heart, she still asked. Gabriela didn't look at her. She looked at the front coldly and said in a low voice, "Did you hear everything we said just now?" "Cough!" Clarissa coughed awkwardly and explained in a hurry, "I didn't mean to. Really, I just came down to get the car and was about to leave. Who would have tho
Clarissa brought over the soup to Anderson, which Pattie specially made for them as Clarissa had been feeling unwell and cold recently. Besides, Anderson had been too busy with his work, so Pattie had specially cooked some herbal soup for them. Since Clarissa had already drunk it, she sat there to accompany Anderson. As she watched him drink the soup, she said, "Since Old Master Levine is in this state, the Levine family should be in a mess!" Speaking of this, Anderson sneered. "It's more than a mess. It's so chaotic that it's unbelievable to watch." Clarissa laughed. "There are many children in the Levine family. Uncle Gimmy and Uncle Gilee are not born to the same mother. Besides, it's a huge family with a lot of distant relatives. Naturally, the competition between the two brothers is inevitable. Fortunately, Old Master Levine can be saved this time. I think that for the sake of the family, he will arrange things in advance to avoid trouble in the futur
Lara nodded. "Grandfather, I've been married once. Besides, so many things have happened before, I'm afraid that..." Old Master Levine's expression turned solemn. "It's all in the past. Let bygones be bygones . You don't have to worry about it. Jaden is an open-minded person, so he won't care about these things. Therefore, you don't have to worry about this at all." Lara bit her lip and shook her head. "No, all this is my fault. If I hadn't been blinded by things before, if I had known the things that happened between dad and grandma earlier, everything that happened before wouldn't have happened. Although I am back to the Levine family now, I know clearly in my heart that my dark past would be something that could never be taken off me." "I have already embarrassed you, so why do I have to get another person into trouble? It would be better if he minds about my past. However, he did not care about it. Since he is so kind, I can't hurt him. I can't l
The next day, Old Master Levine suddenly announced the news that he was holding a birthday banquet for himself in advance. Old Master Levine was seventy-six years old this year. At his age, it was a jubilant event to hold a birthday banquet every year. What's more, he was seriously ill now. If he could hold a birthday party at this time, it could also have the effect of pushing bad luck away, so the Levine family naturally would not have anything against it. When Clarissa received the news, it was already the afternoon of the next day. Looking at the invitation card in front of her, she was actually surprised. After all, Old Master Levine didn't look like someone who was superstitious. What's more, he was the one who initiated it. Anyone who was sick knew that when one was feeling unwell, he would only want to stay by himself quietly. Few people would want to be disturbed. However, since the invitations had been sent out, no matter what the rea
"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
