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
Then, she smiled and said, "Mom, how long have you bought the clothes at home? They have been out of date long ago, okay? Besides, a few days ago, who was the one who was fussing over her clothes that were not nice enough and that she didn't have new clothes?" Hearing that, Iris blushed and felt a little embarrassed. A few days ago, when she packed her luggage and was ready to leave the hospital to go home, she did say that. She mentioned the Sonia next to her always dressed up gorgeously every day, and she felt that her style was too plain, which made her looked old. Her original intention was that since Evelyn was a famous celebrity now, and as her mother, she shouldn't dress too shabbily. Lest in the future, when they went out together, she would embarrass her daughter! The public would think that with Evelyn's accomplishment, how could the mother still dress so shabbily? Therefore, at that time, she said that she wanted to buy new clothes.
Yes, in Charlotte's opinion, that was the reason why there was such a cold war between her and Marty. Marty had something on Charlotte not because she said something wrong. It was because of Evelyn. If it weren't for her who seduced Marty and made him insist on marrying her, those things wouldn't have happened. As expected, none of the women in the entertainment industry were good. At the moment, Evelyn had no idea what Charlotte was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely feel wronged! All she did was work hard in her filming, and she had never done anything improper, let alone taking unfair measures to get a higher position. Why was she not good? It was a pity that she didn't have the chance to say these words to Charlotte. With a fake smile, Charlotte said coldly, "Mrs. Hussain, you are very good at talking. No wonder your daughter is so smart and able to seduce a man, to the point where he didn't even want to come ho
After hearing the reassurnce, Iris was relieved. In the evening, the three of them had dinner in a high-end private restaurant nearby. Evelyn and her mother didn't mention that they met Charlotte at the coffee shop in the afternoon. In their opinion, this problem was actually very difficult to resolve. If she told Marty, it would be hard for him to be in the middle of both sides, and in truth, there was nothing beneficial about it. Therefore, it was better not to tell him. Anyway, they did not do anything wrong, so they were not afraid to be confronted. As long as she had a clear conscience. As for Charlotte, it would be best if her attitude could change over time. If she had to maintain such hostility towards Evelyn, there was nothing really she could do. After all, she couldn't always put up with someone who gave her a cold shoulder. It was unknown whether this method could really improve the relationship between th
In fact, they almost never fought and he was never angry at her. But no one understood that a person who never quarreled with her didn't necessarily mean that he loved her the most. However, he was definitely the one who didn't care about her the most. Because he didn't care, nothing mattered. Since nothing mattered, regardless of what she said or did, it was not so important in his eyes. In his heart, the most important thing was always that cheap actress! That woman used to be his childhood sweetheart. She was someone he could only miss dearly, and someone he would never forget. However, Charlotte couldn't even be anry at him. Although she knew that there was someone else in her husband's heart, she was not even qualified to be jealous. It was because it was impossible for a living person to compete with a dead person. She didn't have anything to compete with. Because she died so gloriously and beautifully, her s
Hence, Buckley remained silent. He did not say a word when his wife was agry. Instead of persuading her to eat, he quietly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to eat his own meal. When Charlotte saw this scene, she became even angrier! Suddenly, she rushed over and swept the food in front of Buckley to the ground. The plates and bowls were smashed on the floor into pieces, along with the food. When the food splattered onto the floor, it splashed onto Buckly as well. Stunned at first, immediately he pulled a long face. Looking at Charlotte, whose face was flushing red in front of him, he stared at her calmly, and asked in a deep voice, "What's your problem?" Then, Charlotte said angrily, "Eat! Eat! The only thing you do is to eat! Except for this, can you think of something else?" When he heard that, Buckley's brows furrowed deeply. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his wife was completely being unreas
"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
