Turning around, he glanced at her and snorted. "So you still see me. I thought that you only see the others and no longer see me!" While removing her scarf, Evelyn stopped and looked at him blankly. After a few seconds, she came around and realized that he was jealous. Suddenly, she did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Who are you jealous of?" Wrinkling his nose, Marty didn't say anything. After taking off the scarf, Evelyn walked over, and squatted down in front of him. She placed her hands on his knees, and examined his face carefully. Seeing that he looked grim, he said with a smile, "I was only having dinner with the crew members and drank a little. What are you talking about? What do mean I don't see you?" Hearing that, Marty was speechless. In fact, he knew in his heart that he was being unreasonable. However, he had a strong sense of ownership over her that he didn't want to let her go. He didn't like t
In that case, her mother would forever bear the name of a murderer's wife. And she would always bear the name of a murderer's daughter. Even if the so-called father had never held his responsibility as a father. Even if she did not share the same blood with the man. Ultimately, Evelyn didn't want this man to be a stain left on her and her mother's life. It was not that she did not want to save him. It was just that when she thought of what Forbos had done to her and her mother over the years, she felt that it was too disgusting to die carrying his name. Therefore, she had to do it no matter what. Her mother's health condition had recovered a lot after the operation. After the operation, under the careful care of doctors, the wound recovered quickly. This morning, when she was talking to her mother on the phone, her mother sounded energized and youthful. Even the doctor said that she was in good condition now. As lo
However, what Evelyn didn't know was that the property of this villa was under her name. It was just that she had no idea about it herself. And Marty didn't tell her anything about this. Including the people who would be taking care of Iris, he had seen and checked their backgrounds one by one. Only hiring those he thought were fine. It could be said that he paid more attention to Iris's affairs than himself. This was also the reason why Evelyn was so easily moved by him. And that he was really helping her from the bottom of his heart. Also, he really wanted to give her a good life. With the thought in mind, she couldn't help but turn her head and gave him a grateful look. Meanwhile, Marty did not speak, as he let Evelyn take her mother for a tour around the villa. While walking around, Iris kept on praising her. "It's so beautiful. This villa is too comfortable." At the same time, she could not help blaming Evel
"I really don't want her to go astray in life, and I don't want her to experience the hardships I had gone through Then again, it was because of the illness and the operation this time, I have opened up more. She has her own life, and sometimes, our opinions could only represent ourselves, but not hers. What's more, I can't guarantee that she will be happy. So it's better to let go of her and let her do what she likes and love the person she wants to love. This way, no matter whether she will be happy or not in the future, there will be no regrets." While she was speaking, she paused for a moment and looked at Evelyn with a gentle smile. "Furthermore, Evelyn is now an adult. She is no longer the little girl who has to ask me for my opinion on everything. So as long as she agrees to your marriage, and she likes you, the rest are not important." After hearing the words, Evelyn's eyes instantly turned red. She was so moved that she threw herself into
Surprisingly, his brother said he was not. In Roland's view, it was only natural for him to take over the family business and to expand it. However, in Marty's opinion, he was chained, and it was a type of imprisonment. In truth, he wasn't that interested in his family's business. Once, he was forced by his father to work in the company. At that time, he found that he was struggling to sit still every day, feeling as if he was about to die. He never liked these things, nor did he like the lifeless numbers on the papers. What he liked were the universe and astronomy. His dream was to build an unprecedented spaceship, so more scientists and physicists could explore the mysteries of the universe. He thought that the world was just too mysterious and that it made him have the desire to explore further. Of course, he made a lot of investments as well. However, most investments were made by following Anderson or Roland. He
However, Evelyn didn't ask Marty to go in with her. Instead, she asked Marty to stay outside and wait for her. It was better for her to go in alone. So Marty didn't insist either. After all, Forbos was Evelyn's adopted father. Even if she had no feelings for him, that was still her identity. Perhaps there was something she didn't want him to hear, so he respected her. Two full weeks had passed since the day she was kidnapped. When she saw Forbos again, Evelyn felt he looked a little unfamiliar. If she wasn't sure that the person in front of her was not a fake, and if she didn't see it with her own eyes, she really couldn't believe that a person could have such a big change in such a short time. The man in front of her eyes no longer looked like the Forbos she saw from two weeks ago. Although Forbos looked shabby in the past, at least he still looked like a human being. But now, Forbos, dressed in prison uniform, was extremel
After a pause, the smile on her face deepened, and her gaze became colder. "After all, you're my adopted father, aren't you? As your daughter, I have to fulfill my filial piety. If you die just like that, how can I do that?" "Of course, I have to make sure you are alive, even if you rather die or suffer, you have to live miserably." "By that time, even if you regret it, willing to sign the papers, and die, it will be too late." Hearing that, Forbos shuddered violently, and his face turned pale. His body was trembling in fear. "You, how dare you..." Blinking her eyes, Evelyn asked, "What's wrong with me?" Bu Forbos did not continue. As a prisoner, he knew it was useless for him to say anything. Then, Evelyn took out a pen from her bag and put it on the counter. "Sign it! So you can die peacefully, and get a good next life. Maybe you'd get another chance to live." Staring at the pen, Forbos didn't move for a long
It was also because she was already exhausted from crying and had no energy to continue. As Evelyn was afraid that her mood and body would be affected, she quickly poured a cup of warm water for her to drink. After a while, she asked with concern, "Mom, how are you? Are you okay?" With a nod, Iris replied, "I'm fine." After a pause, she then looked at her and said with a pleased smile, "Today, my long-awaited wish has been fulfilled. I cannot be better. I was only too happy to react that way earlier, so you don't have to worry about me." Hearing that, Evelyn nodded, still, she couldn't help but to comfort her. "Mom, I am glad that you're happy. As long as you're happy, everything is worth it." After a moment of silence, Iris asked, "How did you get Forbos to sign the agreement?" If Evelyn knew Forbos well, then Iris would know more about him than Evelyn did. She knew how shameless the man was. Now that he was sentenced to death, it
"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
