"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
It wasn't until she felt her mouth go numb that he let go reluctantly. With a hoarse voice, Marty asked. "Have you tasted anything?" Covering her mouth, Evelyn's tongue was so numb that she couldn't speak at all. She stared at him with a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes, and her curly eyelashes were dampened. Although she looked helpless and was mostly confused, she was extremely beautiful. With deep dark eyes, Marty looked at her deeply, as if there were waves splashing vigorously in his eyes. Being amazed by his gaze, Evelyn could feel his huge palm that was rested on her waist became hotter. Immediately, she stood up and gave him a push. "Rogue!" Then, she turned around and ran to the kitchen. Raising his eyebrows slightly, he looked down and glanced at himself. Suddenly, he felt a headache and rubbed his eyebrows. Such a little devil who knew how to torture people! ...... On the other hand, Evelyn took the milk out of the re
Hearing that, Evelyn was a little shocked. Suddenly, she thought of something, as she immediately pushed him away, and ran out quickly. On the balcony, the wind was roaring, and the raindrops were as big as beans. The moment she went out, she was slammed into the glass door by the wind. She groaned, but suddenly she felt her arms were grabbed tightly, as she fell into a warm embrace. Looking at the weather outside, Marty said in a low voice, "It's going to rain heavily." "I know," said Evelyn, as she struggled to open her eyes in the strong wind. "My succulents are still outside." They were only bought a few days ago, and she really liked them, as she had been taking care of it attentively. When some people were going through a difficult situation, they tended to resolve into taking care of these plants and animals, so that they could find a sense of hope. While watching the plants grow healthily, it was as if she was able to foresee her beautiful li
Knowing that there was a talk show today, Marissa had already printed out the questions and the flow of the show, and handed them to Evelyn priorly. All she needed to do was to memorize everything, and she would be fine as long as she remembered them. The program was held in a radio building. The whole interview lasted for three hours, and the process was fairly pleasant. After all, it was not the first time Evelyn participated in this kind of interview. So even if the host was not following the script on purpose, she could still deal with it. By the time it was over, it was already half-past two in the afternoon. And Evelyn was so hungry, as she hadn't had lunch yet. As soon as she changed her clothes, she left with Carrie. As the two walked out of the room, they discussed where they should go to eat later. Unexpectedly, they bumped into Anthony, who was walking in their direction. At that moment, they were still in the bui
Confused for a moment, Evelyn looked at Carrie subconsciously and asked, "What happened outside?" Carrie was also a little confused. "I don't know." However, she quickly came to her senses and said immediately, "Evelyn, please wait here for a moment. I'll go out and have a look." After that, she walked out quickly. When Carrie came in again, ten minutes had passed. As soon as she came in, she closed the door sneakily, with a strange look on her face. Confused, Evelyn asked, "What's going on outside?" Walking to her sneakily, Carrie bent over slightly, and said with a suppressed voice, "Evelyn, guess who I just saw outside?" Seeing that she was trying to keep her guessing, Evelyn knew it was probably someone she knew. Hence, she asked curiously, "Who is it?" "Mr. Blaine." What? Upon hearing that, Evelyn froze and the cup of tea she had held up was left hanging in the air. Her mind went blank in an instant. Just then
"Lila, I—I want to go back." Melodie was calling at Laila in a weak tone. Laila had no idea what was going on, but after seeing Melodie's pale face, she knew that something was wrong, as she nodded quickly. "Okay, I'll take you home now." With that, she nodded to Marty politely and said, "Mr. Marty, I'll take her away first." Marty didn't respond to her. From the beginning, they were invisible to him. In the end, Lila held Melodie's hand and left. With her head lowered, Evelyn didn't raise her head until they left. Then, she glanced at Marty with mixed feelings and sighed. "I mean..." With a pause suddenly, she didn't know what to say. For the fact that he always put the blame on her, she felt completely helpless and was even immune to it already. Glancing at her, Marty and said coldly, "What's wrong? Do you have a problem with that?" Evelyn was speechless. What else could she say? What did she dare to s
"I'll teach you." After that, he put the gun in her hand, then walked behind her, lifting her arms, and taught her how to aim and shoot. They were very close to each other. From the back of her ears, she could even feel the warmth from his breath as he spoke. Her cheeks were slightly burning uncontrollably. Although they had an even more intimate contact before, the situation was different at the time. At the time, his mind was not clear. And back then, she only wanted to save him and help him, so she didn't worry too much. Meanwhile, their bodies were tightly pressed together, just like a couple who was in love, with an ambiguous and sweet affection. Evelyn couldn't help but to twist her body uneasily. In turn, Marty shouted in a low voice. "Don't move!" Then he adjusted her arm where she held the gun and said, "Okay, that's it. Keep your right arm clenched tight and relax your left arm. That's it. Okay, shoot!" "Bang!" The plasti
"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
