Evelyn was speechless for a moment, but then she thought of what she had discussed with Damien at the dinner party last night. She hadn't told Marissa about it yet, so she didn't know whether Marissa would agree or not. Evelyn herself didn't like to do a fake relationship for the sake of pulling a publicity stunt. However, she couldn't beat others without any marketing. Therefore, as long as it was not malicious marketing or something that would undermine other's interests, she would not mind it. Usually, it was the other party who would suggest it, and then she would follow. At the thought of this, she patted her head and quickly called Marissa. After hanging up the phone, Marissa had been waiting for her response. When she saw Evelyn's call coming in, she didn't think twice before answering the phone. But she never thought that she would be told such an important thing over the phone. She was shocked and at a loss for words for a moment
Jeffrey would never believe that Evelyn and Anthony were together. Never! However, when he thought of what Evelyn said to him that day, he couldn't help but feel the pain in his heart. The faith in his heart started to waver. Although he didn't know whether Evelyn liked Anthony, he knew how Anthony was. He was a playboy, and he had been involved in scandals many times before. The public did not know the inside story. The fans put their idol on a pedestal, so regardless of how many scandals Anthony was in, they still felt that he was the most kind, most devoted person in the world. As a person who could be considered to be in the circle, Jeffrey more or less heard about him, along with others who came from a rich and affluent family. The show business was neither big nor small. Rumor would spread like wildfire within it. Thus, Jeffrey knew that Anthony's reputation in the industry was not good. Especially when it came to personal relations
Evelyn nodded. To avoid awkwardness, she pointed at the sofa and said, "Sit down first. Do you want some water? I'll pour you one." Marty nodded and didn't refuse. After Evelyn poured the water for him, the room fell into silence, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. She didn't know why Marty suddenly appeared here today after disappearing for so long. She felt uneasy and confused. Evelyn didn't know what to say at the moment. Marty quietly took two sips of water and then put the cup down. He leaned back on the sofa, giving a nice stretch to his body leisurely, looking at her with a faint smile. "Why are you so nervous? Come and sit here." As he spoke, he patted the spot next to him. Evelyn hesitated for a moment. Although they had reached an agreement and she knew that something would come sooner or later that she couldn't run away, she still didn't want to get physical with him so soon. And subconsciously, her body
Marty sneered and said, "Oh, really? It seems that you haven't learned your lesson last time." Hearing that, Evelyn was stunned. She hated him so much, but at the same time, she could do nothing to him. She had never thought that there was such a shameless person in the world who would threaten her with Iris's safety. Even in the face of Forbos, she never had this kind of helpless and angry feeling. But in the end, she had no choice but to soften her stance for the sake of Iris's safety. She sighed and said, "Well, even if this is my fault, what do you want me to do? You don't like to see me with other men. Should I stay at home every day and quit acting? Marty, I'm a living person. I have my life. I'm not your plaything. Is that really what you want?" He felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw her tearful eyes. After a while, he said with a cold face, "I didn't say I wouldn't let you do acting, but I think you should keep the distan
After the dance, Evelyn was a little out of breath. Marty took her to the lounge area and said in a low voice, "Sit for a while. I need to deal with something first." Evelyn nodded obediently. All of this was witnessed by Melodie, who was not far away. She also wore a lavender chiffon gown tonight, Marty's favorite color. In the past, when the two were still together, Marty had said she looked elegant and captivating like a blooming Crape Myrtle flower in that dress. Although she did not know whether he was telling the truth or not, Melodie would rather believe it was true. Before Marty and Evelyn had been together, indeed, Marty had a lot of other women before. However, most of his relationships were short-lived. Among them, Melodie kept the longest relationship with him. Therefore, everyone thought Melodie was his official girlfriend, no matter how many women he had outside. Moreover, Melodie's family background was not bad. Altho
"I must go home tonight and tell my wife to celebrate!" Mr. Flynn thought to himself. Marty didn't stay for long. Soon, he left with Evelyn. Marty drank some wine, so he did not drive. The two sat together in the back seat. The window was half-opened. As the night breeze blew past them, the smell of alcohol on him with Evelyn's fragrant scent dissipated in the wind. "Thank you for giving me so much face just now." Evelyn thanked him sincerely. Judging from their current relationship, she knew how much respect Marty had given her just now. Marty turned to glance at her. His handsome face was slightly flushed due to the alcohol, but his pitch-dark eyes were a little watery. They were so pretty as if they see through people's souls. "That's it? I don't accept the verbally expressed gratitude." Evelyn was stunned, but when she saw the ridicule in Marty's eyes, she suddenly thought of something. She gave a weak smile. Her beautiful eyes lit up
"This should be enough for you for a few years. When I get married to Marty, you can come back to work. I promise, even if you can't stay in Starlight, I will introduce you to other entertainment companies. You will receive more or less the same treatment there." Evelyn's eyes lit up as she glanced at the figure on the cheque, which was 100 million dollars. Tsk... She was willing to throw away a fortune just for love. How rich of her!" A mocking smile flashed across her face. She raised her head and took the cheque with a graceful smile. "Thank you." Melodie did not expect her to be so straightforward. She was stunned and glanced at Evelyn's eyes, which were crystal clear and without any impurities. She let out a sigh of relief in her heart. Great. As long as this woman was willing to give him up voluntarily, she would definitely be able to return to Marty's side. Although she almost emptied her assets to raise the money, it was worth it for Marty's
Without a doubt, Evelyn reached out to take the clothes, thinking that after all, Mr. Charles was Marty's trusted follower. With that thought, she put on a good face and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Come in and have a glass of water!" But Mr. Charles quickly waved his hand and said, "No, thank you, Miss Hussain. I have something to attend to, so I will be going back first." As he spoke, he walked out. Seeing that, Evelyn did not force him. She watched, as he entered the elevator and then closed the door. After a while, Marty came out of the bathroom. His body was only wrapped with a towel, revealing his strong upper body and slender calves. His hair was wet, and water droplets were running down his chest, across his beautiful lower abs. It was really sexy and tempting. When he saw Evelyn standing at the door with the clothes in her hands, he asked, "Is Aria here?" Shocked, Evelyn turned around and her eyes went boggled. "F*ck. He is s
"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
