"Or if you guys break up for any other reason, then you will have to obey my arrangements unconditionally." "And that includes your marriage, future life and career." Marty's face darkened as he heard this. At this time, Evelyn was still unaware of the bet between them. After listening to Aria, she was a little confused. "Marty, what does this mean? What do you mean after a year?" Marty then motioned for Aria to wait for him outside. After that, he turned around and looked at Evelyn seriously. He said solemnly, "Evelyn, I'm going to tell you something really important now. It's all to do with my future life. Well, I've entrusted my entire life to you, so you must promise me." Evelyn was stunned. She was terrified by the solemnity of his words. Then, she stuttered, "Marty, don't... don't scare me. What happened?" Marty cracked a wide smile when he saw how terrified she was that her face was turning pale. "Silly girl
However, Marty took Evelyn's words to heart. Therefore, he dragged her to the shopping mall to pick the rings as soon as they finished their meal. In fact, he originally intended to customize a pair of rings. But it would take far too long to customize one. Besides, Evelyn had to work and attend many events at times. So, it was inconvenient for her to wear the ring. In the end, they discussed and decided not to complicate things. They would go to the mall and pick out a pair of rings they liked. Anyway, it was just a sense of ceremony. Despite that, she did not anticipate meeting an unwelcomed person before even getting the ring. Well, enemies often cross each other's path. Melodie was shopping with a few of her rich friends when she ran into Marty and Evelyn. Her expression shifted abruptly. At this time, Evelyn and Marty hadn't seen her yet. They were standing in front of a counter, looking at the rings. "Can you show
Melodie was completely stunned. His face was as pale as a sheet. What... what did he say just now? Wife? His wife? "You guys..." She pointed her finger at the them in disbelief. She saw Marty holding on to Evelyn's hand. Then, he raised their hands and clasped them tightly. He smiled and said, "We're married. Miss Tuscan, will you give up now?" Melodie's body trembled slightly, and she was on the verge of collapsing in the next second! Fortunately, the few friends who came with her were quick-witted and held her. Melodie was so furious that her face flushed, her eyes turned red, and tears soon streamed down her cheeks. "You two are married? I don't believe it. This can't be true!" Marty responded with a blank expression, "It is entirely up to you whether you believe it or not! I am not obligated to explain to you anyway. I hope you will no longer pester us. Miss Tuscan, we're all public figures. I hope you don't e
Later, Lauren and Jameson arrived together. Anthony didn't show up. The others didn't know the reason, but Evelyn and Marty did. However, since it was a matter of personal privacy, and it would have been embarrassing to say it, neither of them said anything. Everyone assumed he was too occupied to come, so they did not give it much thought. Anderson and Clarissa were both very busy as well. Clarissa had to return to look after her child before she could come over, so she would be a little late. So the group of people went to the private room to chat while drinking. Then, Aidan smiled and said, "I really can't believe that you two are actually together! Marty, you are really good at hiding it." Marty grinned as he touched his chin, his eyes narrowed. Lauren gently patted Evelyn's shoulder and said with a smile, "Hey, Marty is known for being disloyal. Are you not afraid you will come to regret it later?" It was supposed to be a joke,
However, they had already promised Charlotte that they would keep the marriage a secret. It would certainly be exposed if Marty went ahead and clarified. Wasn't that going to break the promise? Thinking of this, Evelyn sighed. "Let's talk about this later. You should deal with the public's comments first." On the other side of the phone, Marissa nodded her head. "Now that your relationship with Marty is true, this matter is not so bad. I was so worried before because I was afraid that it was false. You also know that in this circle..." Evelyn smiled faintly. She understood what Marissa meant. If she was only claiming kinship ties with Marty, she would have to face the consequences regardless. But things were different now. She and Marty were a legal couple. Therefore, there would be fewer reservations when Marissa dealt with it. Then, Evelyn took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Marissa." Marissa nodded, and the
What kind of logic was this? Evelyn thought for a moment before responding, "Let's wait at least until the end of the year, as promised with your Mom. We'll talk about the rest later." Marty's face darkened even more when he heard that. But he was also aware that this was a promise he had made to Charlotte. Also, it was Charlotte's condition for allowing him and Evelyn to marry for the time being. He had no choice but to keep his words. In the end, he could only stand there helplessly as he watched her depart. Of course, Evelyn was being picked up by a driver outside. Hurriedly jumping out of the car, Carrie grabbed a cap, a pair of sunglasses, and a mask for Evelyn. After making sure that nothing was missing, she hurried Evelyn to the car and drove away. Evelyn's work was placed on hold for a few days as a result of Forbos' previous kidnapping. Thus, when she arrived at the crew, she would film the part she left behind. As fo
Hearing that, Evelyn was a little surprised. After regaining her senses, she nodded and said, "Go ahead." "Would you fall in love with me if I met you before he did?" Evelyn was stunned. To be frank, she had never considered the possibility that Anthony mentioned. Just as the saying went, "Life goes on no matter what." Most of us assumed that our marriage was the outcome of our efforts. In fact, our destiny had been preordained a long time ago. It had been so long that Evelyn could not remember exactly when it was. So, where should she start? She remained silent for a moment, and Anthony was not in a hurry. He sat quietly with her, waiting for her answer. "We met when we were three years old," Evelyn said softly after a long silence. Anthony was stunned. He gazed at Evelyn with a twinkle in his bright eyes. She curled her lips slightly and stared at the distant misty sky in the night sky. "At the time, my dad
Anthony nodded. They did not say a word after that. After a while, the director asked Evelyn to rehearse for her part. With that, she greeted Anthony goodbye and left. Anthony still sat there and did not move. In the night, he sat quietly watching Evelyn rehearse. At this moment, Carrie came over from behind. "Anthony, I just bought some late-night snacks. Would you like to have some?" Evelyn usually needed snacks while she was filming in the evening. If not, she would not be able to stir up her energy. Therefore, Carrie would buy it for her at this time. Carrie purchased two portions of snacks today after learning that Anthony would also be shooting at night. Anthony was taken aback. When he turned his head around and saw it was her, he smiled. "What's that?" "There are milk, porridge, and some chicken wings." At this point, Carrie scratched her head shyly. "I only got some snacks. I don't know if you like them or
"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
