The distance between the two of them was too close. Besides, Marty's assertive presence made Evelyn a little uncomfortable. She couldn't help but shrink back a little. Her eyes darted around, but she didn't dare to look at him. Evelyn did not sound as confident as before. "That was a special case. How did I know you were the one who had come?" Marty narrowed his eyes and looked at her in a patronizing way. After a while, he sneered and said, "It doesn't matter. Now you know. Since you have such an unyielding attitude, you shouldn't have reached out to me for help in the first place. Since I saved you, I have no reason to leave you to someone else's bed, am I right?" Evelyn's body stiffened as she raised her head and looked at him in disbelief. "What do you mean?" Marty laughed coldly. "You've heard me." Marty leaned over and pressed his lips against her ear. His voice was soft, husky, and evil, carrying with it a viciousness that she had
Afraid that Iris would misunderstand, she quickly explained, "Mom, don't listen to him. We are not..." "Evelyn!" Marty interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. Marty stood up and walked to her side. He reached out and held her in his arms. Although his voice was low and gentle, it had a threatening undertone. "I know that I have made you angry these two days, so you're throwing tantrums with me. But after all, we have been together for so long. We can't keep fighting over such a small matter. What's more, Iris is here with us, and you don't want her to worry, do you?" As he spoke, his arm gave her a little squeeze. The threatening undertone of his words was obvious. Evelyn was so angry. Being held in his arm, she couldn't move at all. However, she didn't dare to do anything out of line for fear that Iris would worry about her. Hence, in the end, she could only raise her head and glared at Marty. She said through her gritted teeth,
Evelyn's facial expression changed when she saw that. She quickly reached out to pat her back to help with her breathing. "Mom, don't be angry. He didn't come to find me. I'm serious." After saying that, she looked at Iris earnestly. Seeing this, Iris finally believed that Evelyn was not lying. Evelyn chatted with Iris until she felt tired before helping her to lie down and rest. It was not until Iris fell asleep that Evelyn left the ward. After coming out of the ward, Evelyn went straight to Iris's attending doctor's office. The attending doctor's surname was Lee. He was the best cardiologist in the entire hospital. Because Doctor Lee knew who Evelyn was, he had been paying extra attention to Iris's condition. Seeing her coming in, Dr. Huang smiled gently and said, "You are here. Have a seat." Evelyn nodded and frowned. "Doctor Lee, you called me before and told me that Iris's condition worsened. What happened?" Doctor
Evelyn had acted in quite a few dramas previously, but most of them were just teen dramas. At that time, she was not so famous, so she needed to play in a teen drama to boost her popularity, Now that she was well-known with a stable fan base, Evelyn did not have to worry too much about her exposure and popularity. Therefore, she needed to take part in some critically acclaimed films to consolidate her image and status. Evelyn had no objection to Marissa's arrangement. After reading the script, she was also very interested in this series. Therefore, she agreed without hesitation and signed the contract. When Clarissa found out about this, she even gave Anthony a call. After all, Evelyn was an artist under Starlight who she took under her wing since the beginning. She was also her cash cow. Of course, she would not allow others to bully her. On the phone, Anthony was begging for mercy. "Clarissa, I know she's on your side. Of course, I'll t
Evelyn felt a pang of pain in her heart as soon as she thought about Iris's illness and what Doctor Lee had said last time. She could only beg him. "Marty, what happened before is just between the two of us, and it has nothing to do with Iris. I'm begging you, please don't make things difficult for her. Please let her come back to me, okay?" "She is in poor health. She can't take any blow. Just tell me what you want. As long as it doesn't involve Iris, I will promise you." Marty's eyes dimmed a little when he heard Evelyn's soft and imploring tone on the other of the line. His face fell. He didn't understand why. Now that he had found out the truth, there was no need for Evelyn to hide it from him anymore. Why did she still hide her feelings and real thoughts from him, turning him away? In the past, he could take it as Evelyn didn't want him to know her terrible past, so she refused him. But now he already knew it. She clearly knew that as long as sh
In fact, there was one other most important reason. Evelyn knew this hospital belonged to the Blaine Group. In other words, Marty was the boss here. Since she didn't want Marty to know too much about her situation, she didn't want to bring Iris here. But now, it didn't matter anymore. Marty had already known all her situation. Besides, Iris was already here. Since it was a better place for Iris, of course, Evelyn was not willing to miss it. Therefore, at this time, she was meeting Iris's new attending doctor to find out the situation here. Since Marty already knew about Iris's illness, he naturally wouldn't turn a blind eye to it. Therefore, as soon as Iris was transferred here, Marty had arranged the best doctors and professional medical team to be in charge of her. The attending doctor that Marty arranged for Iris was a foreigner, whose name was Andy. He was an internationally renowned cardiologist. He had refused to treat Iris before.
Evelyn shook her head. "No." She pursed her lips and seemed a little hesitant. In fact, if it weren't for Marty forcing her, she might not have the heart to say such harsh words to Jeffrey, But she had to say it now. It took Evelyn quite a while to steel herself and pluck up the courage to speak up. "I'm sorry, Jeffrey. I think it's time to put an end to our agreement." Jeffrey gave a violent shudder. It never occurred to him that this was what Evelyn was going to tell him. He looked at her in disbelief. After a long time, he asked, "Why?" Evelyn felt guilty. After all, they were both friends and had a contractual relationship. She had made a deal with him in the first place. Evelyn would pretend to be his girlfriend and help him to cope with the pressure given by his family. In return, Jeffrey would help her take care of Iris and give her financial support so that she could focus on her career without having to worry about other st
It was as if the promise between the two of them that day did not exist at all. If it weren't for the fact Iris was staying in St. Peter Hospital, she wondered whether what happened that day was a dream. However, since Marty didn't come to her, she wouldn't be stupid enough to go to him on her initiative. So she acted as if she didn't care. The days went by peacefully. On this day, they finally finished shooting the last scene. At night, the director arranged a place outside to treat everyone to a meal after the wrap. As the lead actress, of course, Evelyn was among them. After Evelyn went back to her room and changed her clothes, she went there with her assistant and several actresses in the same team. However, as soon as she arrived at the restaurant, she realized that the director had booked more than one private room today. There were people in the other two private rooms too. One of the private rooms was for the production crew, whil
"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
