The woman in front of them looked young, and her face looked comely at close range. However, at this time, she was looking at Clarissa coldly without any expression on her face. The little girl next to her tilted her head and looked at her curiously. She didn't seem to understand why Clarissa had stopped them. Clarissa looked at them and felt her throat tighten. Although there were a lot of things she wanted to ask, she couldn't say a word at this time. After a while, she asked softly, "Are you Mark's family?" The other party's face tensed up, as her eyes revealed a hint of vigilance. "Do you know Mark?" "I... " Clarissa paused for a moment, and then said, "I was his friend. We used to race together before..." However, before Clarissa could finish her words, her face suddenly turned cold. "So you're someone from their side. What's wrong? You had been trying so hard to track us down back in Ascijan in order to elicit information from
Clarissa stroked her belly gently. Thinking that she would have a cute child like Anne soon, she could not help raising the corners of her mouth sweetly. "Anne, did great-grandma tell you that you're going to have a little brother or sister soon?" At the mention of this, Anne suddenly became excited. "I know. Great grandma said that the purpose of your trip this time was to pick a younger brother or sister for me. So when you come back, I will have a younger brother or sister!" As she spoke, she was also a little curious. "Mommy, where will you guys be making the selection? Can I come over and find one that I like?" Hearing her words, Clarissa was speechless for a moment. She didn't know what to say. She couldn't help laughing and said softly, "Anne, we don't get to choose. It's all in God's plan. In fact, no matter who they are, you will love them very much, right?" "Of course, that's for sure." Anne pretended to be a grown up. "I
Anderson nodded thoughtfully. Clarissa was really anxious about his condition now. She didn't want to bother to argue with him anymore, so she stood up. "Sit still and stop moving around. I'll call the doctor over." This time, Anderson did not refuse. The doctor quickly came over. After giving him a checkup, he confirmed that Anderson was having a fever because of the cold, but fortunately, the temperature was not too high. It was only 38.5 degree celsius. Because Anderson was injured now, he couldn't take medicine at random. Therefore, he only prescribed some mild antipyretics for him, and then told Clarissa to apply a cold towel to his forehead in the middle of the night to cool him down. After that, the doctor left. As a result, that night, Clarissa kept changing the towel to keep the temperature down. Anderson's heart ached for her. Afraid that she would be tired, he held her hand and said, "Let David help. Take a rest first." Clariss
As the hull swept across, the disk was shattered by the waves into pieces of golden debris. The sun was shining on her face while a gentle breeze was blowing on her face, which made her feel relaxing and comfortable at the same time. However, at this moment, a huge force washed over her from behind. Clarissa opened her eyes wide in horror as she fell down like a kite with a broken string. The golden sun pierced her eyes. She could not see clearly what was happening on the deck. She could only see a shadowy figure enveloped in golden light. "Plop", she fell heavily into the sea, as the sea water filled her ears, nose, and throat, making her choke so hard that she almost fainted. Suddenly, something grabbed her wrist. Someone lifted her waist and scooped her up with force. Clarissa forced herself to open her eyes and saw a familiar figure. The overwhelming seawater blurred his facial features, but somehow, she was still able to see the person in
When Jameson went back at that time, he only told them that there was business to deal with, but he did not tell them that it was personal matters. So he just said indifferently, "I've already taken care of it. But there is still some unfinished business over here, so I came." He paused and looked at Anderson. "How's everything? Is there any news from that side?" Anderson looked at him and said in a low voice, "3 p.m." Jameson frowned. "3 p.m.?" He thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go with you." Hearing this, Clarissa subconsciously wanted to refuse. Although Lauren had briefed her in advance, she was not willing to bother Jameson too much. Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, she saw Anderson nodding his head. "Okay." She glanced at Anderson. Since he had agreed, she could only swallow her unspoken words. Because they had made an appointment to go there together at 3 p.m., Jameson did not stay here any longer.
Upon hearing Harrison's words, everyone was stunned and looked at each other speechlessly. This was because Anderson and Harrison had known each other since a long time ago and were quite familiar with each other. They could have asked him for help when they came to F Country, but they couldn't do so because of Mark's involvement and the relationship and the interests between the few parties was too complicated. The reason why he didn't inform Harrison was that, on the one hand, he did not want to put Harrison on the spot. On the other hand, he was afraid that if Harrison was really related to the Sapphire family it would only alert him to cover up the facts. Therefore, he didn't tell him in advance. Since Harrison had already said so, Anderson was not in a position to turn him down bluntly. "No. We still have some important matters to attend to. We were just walking around. We won't disturb you any further." He said placidly. Harrison smiled faintl
"Now, once there is a loss of balance, not only the Lost Vanguard but also the Hampden family will suffer losses. Therefore, I really want to find out who is behind this and find out the murderer. But unfortunately, I haven't found out much." Anderson frowned when he heard that. "Even you couldn't find it out?" Speaking of this, Harrison's expression darkened slightly. "Yes, there will always be someone better than you in this world. For the past few years, I've always thought although our family does not have a monopoly on this territory, we do have a control over it to a certain extent which could not be underestimated. But I didn't expect..." He sighed. Since Harrison had said so, no one doubted him. They looked at each other, and then Anderson said, "Well, you will take charge in this matter. Please update us, if there is any news." Harrison nodded his head. He suddenly looked at Clarissa and smiled. "Now that you're done with y
"It's getting late. We should go." Harrison also stood up and suggested, "Since we are all here today, why don't we have a meal together?" Clarissa refused coldly, "No need, we still have something on." Then, she took the lead and walked out of the room. Her attitude was obviously a little repulsive. Harrison touched his nose, feeling a little disappointed. Anderson glanced at him and did not say anything. They had known each other for quite a long time, therefore, they could reach a tacit understanding at a glance. Harrison smiled and said, "I would have to trouble you to help me to persuade her. Clarissa hates me, but she will listen to you." Anderson pondered for a moment and said, "I will do my best, but I will also respect her decision. No matter what her final decision is, I will not interfere with it." He was effectively turning down Harrison's request without expressly saying so. Harrison had no choice but to nod his head a
"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
