Clarissa nodded and looked in the direction of the ward. "How is grandpa?" When it came to this, Gimmy's face instantly became sombre. He sighed. "He doesn't have much time left. You should go in and have a look. Remember to make a long story short." Clarissa nodded. She stepped into the ward. Anderson, Jameson, and the others were waiting outside the door. They did not follow Clarissa into the ward. They knew that at this time, the only person Old Master Levine wanted to see was Clarissa. Therefore, the others had better not disturb them. Clarissa put on her hazmat suit and walked in alone. On the bed, Old Master Levine, who was on the verge of his death, was lying there with his eyes slightly closed. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he opened his eyes slightly and looked at her with difficulty. Clarissa stopped in her tracks. She had told herself to be strong, but when she saw Old Master Levine lying there, she co
As Old Master Levine's descendants, Gimmy and others could only follow his will. But despite the simplicity of the funeral, they had been busy with it for a long time. Clarissa didn't attend the Old Master Levine's body donation ceremony. She felt that it was a punishment for the living. After returning home in the evening, she locked herself in the room alone without having dinner. Clarissa was sitting on the big balcony. It would be the new year in two months' time. During the winter in Flaucford, the sky was especially clear. At night, the sky was filled with stars, twinkling in the dark velvet dome. At some point, Anderson had walked behind her. She knew that it was him without turning her head. "Everyone said that after a person dies, he or she will become one of the stars in the sky and always protect the person he wishes to protect. Do you think it's true?" She asked. Anderson who was standing behind her didn't make any response. After a
Following that was an even hotter kiss. They were being peppered on her collarbones and her chest. Clarissa was still in a daze. She vaguely felt that Anderson was acting a little strange today, but she didn't have much time to think about it. After god-knows-how-long, the love affair finally came to an end. Lying in Anderson's embrace, Clarissa was so tired that she couldn't even lift a finger. There was also a thin layer of sweat covering all over her body. At this moment, lying in his strong arms, she slightly raised her eyes and gave him a look. She said discontentedly, "You are not allowed to be in heat during the day in the future." Anderson let out a soft laugh. His slightly calloused fingers caressed her lips as he gently pressed them against hers. His voice was low and hoarse. "Are you destroying the bridge right after you crossed the river? I'm not the only one who was enjoying it just now." His low, magnetic voice made Clarissa's fa
Charmaine showed a gentle and generous smile and said, "I went to see Old Madam Jordan yesterday. I heard that Clarissa was pregnant, so I came specially to see her. Hey? Where is she?" At the mention of Clarissa, the tension in Anderson's eyes eased a little. He said in a gentle voice, "She's upstairs. She'll be coming down soon." "Well, can I go up and see her?" Anderson's gaze paused for a moment. His gaze swept across her delicate and innocent face before rejecting her. "No, that's not necessary. She doesn't like to have outsiders to go up there." As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly fell silent for a moment. Outsiders... With just a few simple words, Anderson managed to push her away and embarrass her like never before. However, he didn't notice it at all. Charmaine's smile froze for a moment, before she regained her composure. "Well, then I'll wait for her here." Anderson didn't answer her. He turned a
Clarissa was a little helpless. She sat there and thought for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. It was not that she hadn't seen anyone who tried to butter up to her before... but she had never seen someone who had tried so hard... It was really... Lifting her hand to rub her forehead, Clarissa didn't say anything. It didn't take long before Charmaine came out of the kitchen with the soup. "Clarissa, this is specially prepared for you. It is a soup that supplies you with all the necessary nourishment. It is very good for strengthening your health. It is most suitable for pregnant women." Clarissa looked at the bowl of soup in front of her. It was colorful, with a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste. It looked really delicious. She smiled at Charmaine and said, "Thank you. Thank you for your hard work." "You're welcome. It's what I should do." Looking at how hard Charmaine was trying to be close with her, Clarissa curled h
The atmosphere on the table was silent. Clarissa had been quietly eating, with no expression on her face. After a while, she put down the cutlery and said nonchalantly, "I'm full. Please enjoy yourselves." After that, she got up and prepared to leave. However, someone suddenly grabbed her hand. Anderson also put down his cutlery and said, "We'll leave together." Clarissa raised her eyebrows. Charmaine was seated across from them. She had been busy taking care of them, so she hadn't had time to eat. At this time, the two hosts both left their seats, so she felt a little awkward. She didn't know whether she should continue eating or not. Clarissa smiled and said, "Charmaine, I'm sorry. You've been so busy making lunch for us for such a long time and haven't had time to eat. I get tired very easily after I'm pregnant, so I let Anderson accompany me to rest first. You don't mind being here alone, do you?" Charmaine forced a smile and replied,
Anderson was so angry that his face was as sombre as it could be. Just as he was about to push her away, a woman's surprised voice sounded from the bedroom door. "What are you doing?" ...... Five minutes later, in the living room on the first floor. Clarissa was sitting on the sofa with Anderson sitting next to her, his face ashen. Charmaine was standing across from them with a pitiful expression on her face. Pattie also rushed over from the backyard. At first, she didn't know what had happened, but after she heard from the servant, she pulled a long face. The servant served tea respectfully. Clarissa picked up the cup and took a sip, then said slowly, "Tell me! What's going on?" She was taking a nap, but in a daze, she heard a faint noise outside. During this period of time, having been going through so many things, and coupled with the fact that she was pregnant, Clarissa had become a light sleeper. Once she heard the noise, she couldn'
"You keep saying that you have no way out, but tell me, how?" Charmaine wiped her tears and continued, "I was studying in Flauford, but one day, my dad suddenly called me to go home. When I got home, I realized that he wanted me to give up my studies and get married." "Some girls in our hometown get married very early, so I didn't think much about it at first. I just told them that I don't want to get married now and we shall talk about that after I graduate from college." "But I didn't expect that my father brought back a man the next day. The man was almost fifty years old. He was the director of a company. My father said that our company suffered a windfall loss and owed others a large sum of money. If I don't marry him, our whole family will have to sleep in the streets and live on air." "Anderson, Clarissa, I have no choice but to run away from home. I have no relatives in Flauford except for Old Madam Jordan and you, I really can't find another person to h
