Marissa's heart sank when she saw Evelyn. She carefully came to Evelyn's side, for fear of waking her up. But when she walked in, Marissa was surprised to find that Evelyn's face was abnormally ruddy. Even her breathing was a little rapid and hot. Marissa's heart skipped a beat. She immediately put her hand on Evelyn's forehead. As she expected, Evelyn had a fever. It was definitely not a mild fever, judging from her touch just now. "Evelyn, Evelyn, wake up." Marissa hurriedly nudged Evelyn. Although there was a little anxiety in her tone, it was not too loud. She was afraid that if she woke up Evelyn suddenly, she would be jolted awake from the nightmare. Yes, nightmare. At this time, tears were welling up in the corners of Evelyn's eyes, her eyebrows were furrowed, and her expression was painful. Obviously, she was bothered by something. Marissa didn't know what had happened to her, but to her knowledge of Evelyn, Eve
Evelyn nodded weakly. She was no longer as serious and energetic as she was. Lying on the bed, Evelyn felt her whole body heating up. She knew that she was the type of person who would fall sick easily until she remembered what she had done yesterday. After taking a cold shower for such a long time, she didn't even dry her hair and went straight to the bed. It was only logical that she had caught a cold. But she could not say that what she did last night was wrong. After all, she was really in bad shape last night. Thinking of this, Evelyn felt a little dizzy. In a fog, she closed her eyes and was ready to go to sleep. After god-knows-how-long, Evelyn finally managed to recover her energy and woke up. When she opened her eyes, she was surprised to find Marty by the bed as well. Next to him was Marissa, who seemed to be embarrassed. "Marissa, why is he here?" Evelyn frowned. Her voice was hoarse, with a hint of dissatisf
Evelyn looked at him with a smile. Hearing what he said, she tried hard to suppress the pain in her heart and frowned slightly, looking puzzled. She wanted to ask him why she wasn't worthy of those opportunities. It was not like Evelyn wanted to fight to have the upper hand, she just wanted to put on a complete show. Nonetheless, Marty didn't give her the chance. Seeing that she was about to speak, he could tell that she was going to say something even meaner. But he didn't want to listen to it anymore. His heart ached so much that his hand began to tremble. On the other hand, he didn't want to insult her. If Marty really spelled out the reason, it would mean that he really treated her like that kind of person. Thus, countless excuses flashed through Marty's mind at that moment. In the end, he said indifferently, "I dislike filth." Evelyn's expression suddenly froze. However, Marty didn't look at her anymore. He
Therefore, the moment Marty saw Marissa, the idea of asking her to take him upstairs to see Evelyn popped into his mind. When Marty put forward this request to Marissa, she rejected it without hesitation. No matter what Marty said or how he tried to threaten her, Marissa shook her head and said that it was impossible for her to stab Evelyn in the back. In the end, Marty got so angry that he threatened Marissa with her family. And it was just as what Evelyn had thought, if Marissa really dared to refuse Marty, he would really do such a thing. But all of this did not matter anymore. Marissa didn't intend to take credit from Evelyn with this kind of thing, and Evelyn didn't intend to ask more. She just needed to know the outcome. As for other things, it didn't matter anymore. At the thought of that, Evelyn, who had been tense, finally relaxed. As a results, Evelyn began to feel a little dizzy. All she wanted was to sleep un
But Jeffrey still felt upset over how decisive and blunt Evelyn was. But there was nothing he could do. Evelyn had made it clear from the very beginning, hadn't she? At the thought of this, despite the pain in his heart, Jeffrey changed the topic. "How did you catch a cold?" He was just asking her out of concern as a friend, so she probably would not refuse him. That was how Jeffrey consoled himself. Evelyn frowned. She didn't want to explain the ins and outs of this matter to Jeffrey. After all, it involved Marty, as well as her own private affairs. She did not want reveal it to anyone easily Seeing that Evelyn was in a dilemma, Jeffrey also didn't want to make it difficult for her. Instead, he laughed and changed the topic. "That's all right. You just need to take care of yourself. Do you have any other work arrangements?" Evelyn glanced at Jeffrey indifferently and said, "You should ask Marissa this question." Marissa
Wes was both happy and helpless about the fact that his niece had fallen in love with someone. He was happy to see that his niece was all grown-up now but he felt helpless because that person was Marty. Although the Tuscan family and the Olsen family could be regarded as rich and influential families in Flaucford, there was still a disparity between them and the four great families. Wes didn't like the idea of Melodie being a social climber. For someone as powerful as Marty, it was out of her reach. However, since Melodie had her eyes on Marty, he couldn't do anything about it either. But young girls like her would most probably act irrational when they fell deep in love. When they grew up in a few years, they would not be so impulsive anymore. Therefore, Wes didn't pay too much attention to what had happened between her and Marty. When he heard the news from Melodie today, he even teased her with a smile. "Hey, you finally stopped being so obs
Melodie was shocked as she looked at the photo of Evelyn with some jealousy. The woman in the photo had bright eyes and white teeth, looking pure but alluring at the same time. Even if it was just a photo with a simple white background, her delicate facial features exuded a strong aura, as if it was a photoshoot for fashion magazines. She nodded with her eyes darkening, and the envy and hatred in her heart became intense. "Yes, she's the one." "Okay." Wes put away his phone and nodded thoughtfully. "Since this woman dares to bully Melodie like this, then don't blame me for making things difficult for her." Wes thought. Three days later, Evelyn returned to work. A week later, after she finished all her work at hand, she began to study the script for a month. Before she got the script, Evelyn had roughly browsed through the original novel while she was at work. The original novel was based on a fictional setting. It was an era when th
If Evelyn remembered correctly, these people were already all those who needed to attend this banquet in the entire filming crew, right? So she was the last one to arrive? Evelyn carefully recalled the time Marissa told her and looked at the time on her wristwatch. Evelyn was sure that according to Marissa's reminder to her, she was not late and even arrived half an hour in advance. Then what the heck was going on? She had a bad feeling about it. Evelyn's heart sank slightly, but the corners of her mouth were wearing the same polite but apologetic smile. She covered her chest and bowed slightly to apologize. "The traffic is quite heavy today, so I'm a little late. Please forgive me." From the moment Evelyn entered the private room, Wes, who was sitting at the head seat, stopped talking and laughing with others and looked at Evelyn with a sullen face. However, judging from Evelyn's appearance, the first impression she gave off was that she
"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
