Clarissa held back her laughter and couldn't help saying, "What kind of jealousy is this? I don't even know how he looks like. Besides, I'm not really going to accept such a valuable gift. I'm going to return it after I find out his identity." Anderson snorted again. Clarissa could only coax him. Fortunately, Anderson was not really angry. He was just a little upset by the fact that Clarissa was crazily pursued by another man. In the end, Clarissa finally managed to placate him. Anderson added, "You have no shooting tomorrow, don't you?" Clarissa was stunned and thought about it for a while. It seemed that there really wasn't any. Anderson said, "Come to the company to accompany me." Clarissa wanted to reject him right away. "It's not appropriate. You have to work..." "I have only one meeting tomorrow morning. I'll be spending the rest of the day in the office. You can stay by my side and accompany me." Clarissa hesitated for a mome
The guest room was specially prepared by Anderson. The room was not large, only about a hundred square meters, but its décor was very exquisite. The most important thing was, the room was specially made for the couple. Whether it was the transparent bathroom, or the rose petals and candles that could be seen everywhere, romance was in the air. Anderson cut the steak on the plate and placed it in front of Clarissa. He then took the plate in front of her and cut it. Since they had similar tastes, they ordered the same food. Clarissa took it and grabbed a bite of the steak. "Anderson, it's rare for you to be in such a relaxing mood. Why did you bring me here?" Anderson, who was cutting the steak, lifted his eyelids and glanced at her. "You don't know?" Clarissa was slightly stunned. "What should I know?" Anderson put on a helpless expression as if he had already expected her reaction. Clarissa was a little confused. Then, she saw
"So, you want me to wear this every day to attend business meetings?" The smile on Clarissa's face froze. She coughed awkwardly and said, "Well, in fact, you can also wear it at home. As for the gift, it's the thought that counts, hehe..." "Thought?" Anderson raised his eyebrows. After thinking for a while, he reached out his hand. "Alright, since you've been so thoughtful, let's see if it can fit me." Clarissa nodded. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva before she took his hand over. Anderson wore a diamond watch on his wrist. She first unfastened the watch before putting the red rope on. At this time, something embarrassing happened. The red rope was too short for him. Clarissa's face turned red all of a sudden, from her cheeks to her ears. The bracelet was something she learned to make together with Nora when she was bored during the filming. The purpose was just to kill time. Nora also said that the golde
They were going to find out who was it very soon. Clarissa received an invitation to a fashion gala. Because the organizer of the gala was a brand that she liked very much, she decided to attend. Coincidentally, Lauren, Evelyn, Teddy, and Anthony were all going to be there. Although they were all in the same industry, it was rare to have such a good opportunity to get together on the same occasion. Therefore, Clarissa was so happy that she drank a little bit more. Clarissa wasn't a good drinker. Maybe it was because she hadn't had dinner before she came here today, she felt a little drunk as the alcohol started to kick in after a few glasses. Clarissa stopped drinking and went to the bathroom after informing Lauren and the others. Nora had been following her. She was dressed in a suit while keeping a straight face on. She looked like a successful career woman. Clarissa gave her handbag and asked her to wait outside. She would be out
Clarissa was in a state of shock. It took a long time for her to recover from the shock. "Did you call the police?" The man shook his head. "No, Mark was involved in too many shady deals. It's not convenient to call the police. We can only investigate and solve this privately." Clarissa nodded with understanding. She felt like a heavy weight on her chest, making it harder to breathe. Seeing how Clarissa was in a bad shape, he smiled lightly. His good-looking face leaned in towards her as he said with a smile, "Now that we're done with the business, Seven, tell me the truth. I haven't seen you for four years, and you really don't miss me at all?" Clarissa's face, which was originally pale, suddenly turned red. She took a step back and stared at him with vigilance. "Jara Holland, I'm warning you! Don't try to pull your dirty tricks on again! I'm not going to fall for them!" Jara smiled as his captivating eyes narrowed slightly "
Seeing this, Anderson explained to her, "Jara Holland, Claus's second son, is also his only illegitimate son. Because he is not accepted by his family's elders, he is raised overseas all this while. He will only return to the country once in three to five years. This time, it just so happened that he ran into you when he made a trip back to the country. Do you think it's a coincidence?" Clarissa's body shuddered. Her mind was a little confused. After a long while, she gradually digested the fact that Anderson had told her. "You mean... he is one of the Holland family?" Anderson raised his eyebrows. "Yes." Clarissa clenched her fingers. Anderson continued, "So, what did he say to you last night?" Clarissa looked at him. Her lips moved, but she didn't make a sound. She didn't know how to explain to Anderson. She didn't want to bring up the relationship between her and Jara, and the memories of the past, but she didn't want to lie to him!
The makeup artist who helped her to make up quickly said, "It is given by Evelyn. Almost everyone in the crew has it, but it will be in a different pattern. You see, mine is a Notre-Dame." As she said this, she even took out the accessories that had been hung with her keys specially to show Susan. A look of disdain flashed across Susan's eyes, and she sneered, "Only you guys see this kind of thing as a treasure. I thought it was something good. Key chain? We all lock our doors with fingerprints now, okay? Only the country bumpkin would use keys to unlock doors!" The makeup artist was speechless. The atmosphere in the whole dressing room suddenly fell into embarrassment. Yunne had already put on her makeup. She got up and walked out of the room coldly. Everyone couldn't help looking at each other, but no one dared to say anything. Just then, Evelyn came in. "I'm sorry, Maney. I just ruined my eye makeup. Can you help me to fix it?" D
Thinking of this, Evelyn said politely, "Hello, I'm here for the audition. My name is Evelyn." Currently, Evelyn was a celebrity of mediocre popularity. In general, she was a female actress between the B-list and C-list. However, she loved to keep a low profile and most of her roles taken up by her were introduced by Energence International Corp. Therefore, people in the outside world knew little about her. The fat man sitting in the chair slightly raised his head, gave her a sidelong glance, and nodded slightly. "Well, take a seat! It'll be your turn soon." "Alright." Evelyn found a chair next to her and sat down. The two girls followed the director into the bedroom, leaving her and the photographer in the living room. The atmosphere seemed a little awkward. For some reason, the moment when Evelyn entered the room, she felt that something was off. She felt strange. Evelyn glanced at the cameraman who was smoking. He blew a sm
"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
