Soon, Marty arrived in front of her. When Evelyn saw that the person who came down was Marty, she couldn't help but be stunned. She asked subconsciously, "Why is it you?" Marty rolled his eyes at her. "Who do you think will risk their lives to save you at a time like this?" She could tell how dangerous and difficult it was from his words. Evelyn's eyes were red, as she felt like crying. Perhaps at such a critical juncture, one would be especially fragile. At this moment, the usual tough facade she had been putting on slowly crumbled until it was reduced to nothing. Tears fell silently, but were washed by the rain. It was hard to tell whether it was the rain or her tears. Marty looked at her in silence. She was usually either lively and beautiful, or sharp tongued. She rarely showed such a pathetic and fragile side of her in front of Marty. Somewhere in his heart was moved. He held the rope and wrapped it around her waist, tyin
This time, Evelyn almost could hear her heart beating, but she still chose to deny it. "I'm not blind. Can't I see it?" At this time, Marty held Evelyn's hand again. For a moment, Evelyn didn't know what to do, so she lowered her head and chose to avoid him. Marty was on the verge of breaking down. Why was Evelyn unwilling to admit that she had feelings for him? How difficult would it be to admit it? "Evelyn!" Evelyn had been struggling, as if she didn't want Marty to touch her at all. At this time, Jeffrey also got the news that Evelyn was hospitalized. He immediately stopped working and rushed to the hospital. In fact, although Jeffrey seemed to be a married couple with Evelyn on the surface, only he and Evelyn knew very well that their relationship was just contractual. At that time, Evelyn needed money, while Jeffrey needed a wife. So by chance, they became husband and wife, each taking what they needed.
At this time, Evelyn didn't continue to cry as she had calmed herself down. Marty's action just now had really frightened her a little. The thought of him made her heart ached. Looking at her like this, Jeffrey could roughly guess what was on her mind. He sighed inside and tried to change the topic. "Don't worry. It's alright now. But why didn't you tell me that you were in an accident? Fortunately, I got the news that you are in the hospital now. Otherwise, how would you be able to deal with the situation just now?" Although Jeffrey was worried about what happened to Evelyn just now, he still felt the need to chide her for always trying to hold back her emotions. Evelyn held the cup with her head bowed, without saying a word. Seeing this, Jeffrey knew that she needed to have some time to herself, so he did not say anything more and went out to ask the doctors about her condition. At this time, on the other side. After Marty l
Although Melodie was in a relationship with Marty before, the two of them had fallen out with each other. Marty had never slept with her nor admitted that she was his woman. He even directly pointed out her ulterior motive of approaching him in front of so many people last time. No matter how shameless Melodie was, she would still feel embarrassed sometimes. Therefore, at this time, although she could pretend that nothing had happened before, she would never be so insensible to throw herself at Marty again. Actually, Marty was not himself today. Usually, he disdained to talk to women, not to mention this person was Melodie. At this time, he actually agreed to let Melodie sit here and drink with them. It was obvious that he was already in an extremely bad mood. "Mr. Blaine, tell me what is bothering you today. I'm all ears." Melodie felt she still stood a chance as Marty did not refuse her company, so she pretended to be curious and asked
Melodie hated Evelyn even more now, but she knew that Marty only had his eyes on her. Evelyn always had a special place in his heart. In what way was Evelyn better than her? Melodie's heart was full of hatred, and she couldn't wait to tear Evelyn apart right now. At the thought of this, a glint of malice flickered in her eyes. Her smile slowly froze at the corner of her mouth. She would make sure that Evelyn paid for what she had done. St. Tropez Villa. Marty couldn't drive because he had been drinking, so he called the driver to pick him up at the bar. As soon as Marty arrived home, he was about to go to bed after resting for a while, as he had drunk a little too much today. "Mr. Blaine." At this time, the butler suddenly came up to him. "What's wrong?" Marty frowned and pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to sober himself up as much as possible. "We have some findings on the investigation you've ordered us to
After a while, Sophia suddenly chuckled and said, "I heard that Joel is the president of the Buick Group now. Oh, how I admire his way of living off a woman." "What did you say?" Amanda flew off the handle as her eyes widened in anger. She raised her hand and was about to slap her. However, her hand stopped in mid-air. With a smile on her face and two shallow dimples appeared right at the corner of her lips, she caught hold of Amanda's wrist forcefully. "Are you mad at me? It's a pity that I am not the same person I was two years ago! Besides, my mother gave me 20% of the Buick Group's shares. Regardless of Joel's high position in the company, he is still working under me. Aren't you afraid that you might cause him to lose his job by slapping me?" Amanda was stunned. How could she forget that this woman still held 20% shares of the Buick Group? If it weren't for this reason, how would she agree to her to be with Joel back then? "This lass
His gaze scanned the room and finally fell on Amanda's face. "Grandma over there, was that you?" "Grandma?" Amanda's facial expression changed slightly at the way he addressed her. Even if she was indeed older than him, can't he call her auntie? Grandma? How rude! Dumbstruck, she said, "Yes! So what if I'm the one to say it?" Roland's lips curled into a cold smile. "Quan!" In the next second, Quan appeared out of nowhere. With a "smack" sound, he slapped Amanda on the face. The people around let out an exclam and were instantly stunned by what was going on! Amanda fell to the ground because of the impact, her eyes wide open in disbelief. She couldn't come to herself for a moment. Roland's gaze was icy cold as he said loudly, "My family has always had a rule. We'll not attack unless we're attacked. You said that my wife had hit you. It will be unfair to my wife if she is accused of something that she has never done. Thus, t
Sophia was awakened by the heat. When she opened her eyes, she felt pain all over her body. There was an orange crystal lamp above her head and the shadow of its magnificent pattern was constantly twirling when reflected by the light, stinging her eyes a little. Where was this place? She darted her eyes around as she thought about it in a daze. The room was luxuriously decorated in a classic style. There was a piece of modern art hanging up on the wall. The vibrant color and lines of the painting made her feel like she was in the middle of an absurd dream. Was this a dream? She closed her eyes again, thinking, "I hope I can keep dreaming and never wake up." Sophia did not want to wake up to face such a cruel reality. After a long time, she couldn't help but tense up as soon as the sound of footsteps suddenly came to her ears. The bed slightly sank, as she felt someone had lifted the quilt and lied on the bed. Soon, the tip of her no
"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
