But Sophia didn't expect to hear the heated discussion from the living room as soon as she entered the house. "Dad, look at what time it is now. I don't think she's coming back today." "That's right. Collins, you're spoiling her too much. You're not doing her any good. Tell me, how is she going to get married in the future if she behaves like this?" "Exactly! A person with no self-respect like her would only bring shame to all of us in the future. It's so embarrassing!" "Alas! Why don't you send someone to look for her?" Sophia was completely speechless. Sophia stood at the door, listening to their demeaning discussions inside, and her lips trembled with anger. What was wrong with her current behavior? Why would it affect her marriage? What had she done to put the whole family to shame? Sophia was so angry that her face turned pale. The maid, Janie, who just came out from the kitchen, spotted her. She asked in surprise, "Miss Sophia
What on earth did she do wrong? Sophia's cell phone suddenly rang. Without thinking twice, she knew it was from her home. They must have called her after ascertaining the authenticity of the marriage certificate! Otherwise, they wouldn't wait until now to call her. The sadness in Sophia's heart grew even more intense. She took out her phone and hung up without checking. Then she turned off her phone. Watching the screen go completely dark, Sophia felt a bit more comfortable. She got up from the sand, picked up her backpack, and headed back. On the other side, the Buick family. "I'm sorry. The number you have dialed is not reachable. Please try it later." Collin's expression changed slightly as the intercept message came from the phone. Oh no. Just now, he was able to get through it but now, Sophia had turned off her phone. She must be so pissed with him! He hung up angrily. With the marriage certificate in her hand, Bell still
Sophia had a bad feeling about it so she didn't dare to provoke him. She had to endure the fear and said, "How much do you want?" The driver suddenly showed an obscene smile. He reached out his hand to touch her smooth face and said with a smile, "That's very cold of you to talk about money. You can just keep me company for one night." As he spoke, he was about to reach out and pull her clothes. Sophia was shocked and angry at the same time. Looking at the hand he reached over, she felt extremely disgusting. She shouted angrily while struggling, "Don't go too far! Taxi drivers are all registered with the police services. I could sue you for sexual harassment!" The driver let out a sinister laugh. "Sexual harassment? If it is the other women, indeed this is a sexual harassment. I'm afraid a sl*t like you are begging for this!" "I don't understand what you are saying!" Sophia roared angrily. "Oh! Don't you think I haven't seen the news? I recognized yo
Roland looked solemn and said seriously, "If I insist on asking you to go home with me, such a thing won't happen." Sophia didn't expect him to say that. She felt warm in her heart and then shook her head. "How is it your fault?" "You're my wife. It's my fault that you got hurt." Sophia was speechless. Sophia's features were gaining a rosy color again. She didn't know what to say. Roland's lips curled up slightly as he reached out to stroke her hair. The car finally stopped in front of a villa after travelling over the mountain roads. Harmin Joe, Roland's assistant, got out of the car and opened the car door for them. Roland was the first to get out of the car. Just as Sophia was about to get out of the car, she was picked up by Roland in bridal style as he strode over to the villa. Sophia was slightly startled. She struggled subconsciously, but Roland chided her in a low voice, "Don't move!" She pouted and swallowed her words of r
"Uh? You mean..." Thinking of Sophia's words, Roland rubbed the space between his eyebrows and said, "Nothing. It's just a formality." After that, he hung up the phone. It was not suitable for Sophia to know too much about his and his family's ways of dealing things now, so as not to frighten her. So, it was better to go to the police station as a matter of formality, in order to put her at ease. ...... Roland was a man of his words. He really slept in the guest room that night. The next day, when Sophia woke up, it was already late in the morning. She toured around the whole villa, but could not find Roland. She guessed that he must have gone to work. Sophia was a little disappointed. She couldn't help but feel empty being all alone in the big villa. She could only go back to her room to wash herself up. However, after that, her cell phone rang. It was Roland. Sophia swiped to pick up the phone. Roland's low and sexy voice reached
Roland finally came to a halt. His lips were still pressing against hers, his eyes smiling. He asked softly, "Does it still hurt?" Sophia was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was asking about the wounds on her knees and ankles. She quickly shook her head and said, "I'm fine." In fact, she was not seriously injured. After applying the ointment yesterday, she was feeling much better today. Roland was still worried. He lifted up her long skirt and looked at her ankles and knees. Her ankle was no longer swollen. Although there was still gauze on her knees, they were not as scary as they were last night. Only then did he be at ease. "I'll ask Curtis to prepare a pair of flat shoes for you later. We'll come back as soon after we make an appearance." Sophia asked hesitantly, "Is that okay?" She was only 1.65 meters tall. If she wore flat shoes, she would look very short, wouldn't she? Besides, it was a family banquet and Roland's
Roland's hand was propped against the body of the car, pinning her under him, whereas his other hand was tightly holding her waist. The tip of his nose was against hers. Looking at her red and swollen lips, he smiled evilly. "Remember, you are only allowed to dress up like this in front of me!" Sophia felt a bit aggrieved, but she still answered obediently, "Okay." Only then did Roland pat her cheek in satisfaction. He let go of her and opened the car door for her. "Get in the car!" Sophia got into the car and was embarrassed to see Quan was already sitting in the driver's seat. He must have seen what happened just now. She suddenly felt even more embarrassed. She swore to herself that she must find a time to talk to Roland about not doing anything intimate in the public. Half an hour later, the car arrived at the destination, the Celestial Mountain Resort. Roland had a presidential suite reserved here for long-term, so he took Soph
"Okay," Sophia said. Just as she was about to enter Roland's name, he snatched the phone from her. When she took it back, he had changed the remark to "Beloved Hubby". When Sophia saw the nickname, she felt a chill run down her spine. But when she saw the smug look on Roland's face, she held it back and didn't say anything. After dinner, at eight o'clock, the banquet began. As the top entertainment club for the riches in Nilween City, Celestial Mountain Resort was, of course, very luxurious. As soon as they entered the hall, they felt that the atmosphere was magnificent with dazzling lighting. The hotel was crowded with people, and it was a buzzing and lively scene. The banquet organizer was William Haltz, who was from the royal family. When he saw Roland, he greeted him enthusiastically. "Welcome, Roland. Please come in!" The corners of Roland's mouth curled slightly, and a rare gentle smile appeared on his face. "Is grandma here?" "Yes!
"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
