"In that case, it's up to you! You've grown up, and it's time for you to make your own decision in life." "I only hope that you will remember that no matter what happens in the future, you still have a home here. Your father and brother will always be your backbone. Do you understand?" As soon as Lauren heard those words, her tears rolled down silently. Then, she buried her face in her father's embrace and nodded while crying. "I understand." Only then did Dexter felt comforted and gently patted her on the shoulder, as if he was coaxing a child. With a soft voice, he said to her, "Just cry it out. You will feel much better if you cry it out." The two of them stayed in the room and chatted for a long time. More than half an hour had passed when they finished the conversation. When she went downstairs, Lauren's eyes were a little red, but it was obvious that she was in a much better mood than before. Meanwhile, Jameson had been
It had never occurred to Evelyn that her mother would say such a thing. Moreover, she didn't expect that was her true thoughts. A plethora of feelings overwhelmed her for a moment as she felt both complicated and touched. Her father died early, so over the years, her mother had brought her up alone. She cared for her and protected her. Even in such a harsh condition, she made sure she was not hurt. Therefore, she was grateful to her mother. But behind the gratification, she always had a faint feeling that she seemed to have kidnapped her mother's life. After all, if it weren't for her existence, her mother wouldn't have been forced to marry Forbos in the first place. Later on, her mother actually had many chances to leave Forbos. She could have escaped to a place that no one knew about so that Forbos could not find her, and she didn't have to suffer living in such a bitter life. But it was all because of her. After all, she was still a c
"If you dare to say a word!" Knowing that his little woman was shy, he was afraid that she would get angry if he continued to tease her. Only then did he quickly withdrew his painful expression, as he held her shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay, okay. I am just teasing you. We can talk about having a baby later. As long as Mom is not in a hurry, we are not in a hurry too." It was obvious that he had pass the buck to Iris. Seeing this, Iris said with a smile, "That's your own business. I won't be interrupting. But Evelyn, you are not young anymore. If you want it, you'd better have it as soon as possible. Of course, the final decision is in your hands. I just want to let you in on my experience." With a flushed face, Evelyn was in an awkward predicament. In the end, she murmured perfunctorily. After the decision was made in the evening, Iris booked a ticket to the south the next day. As Evelyn didn't have time to send her back, she c
Those rich women would never enter the kitchen, let alone cook. Anyway, they were used to it. After all, the kitchen was like their second home, and they were to make whatever the bosses wanted. However, they did not expect that over here at Evelyn's house, she actually said she wanted to cook in person. Seeing that she picked up the menu, Sina realized Evelyn was being serious. Immediately, she asked in a panic, "Ma'am, if you want to eat Catfish Stew, we can replace this dish with that. You don't need you to cook it personally." "If you have any opinions on the taste, just say it directly. We will do our best to make it, so you really don't need to do it personally." Looking at them, Evelyn smiled. "You've misunderstood me. I don't have any opinions on your cooking skills. I just..." With a pause, she seemed to think of something, and the smile on her face turned gentler. "I just want to try it on the spur of the moment. You don
In comparison with that, she was already very content. With the thought in mind, Evelyn shook her head. "I'm not tired. Why do you think so?" Hearing that, Marty frowned. As Evelyn noticed that he didn't seem to be happy with her answer, she explained. "I like acting, and I like the work that the company has arranged for me, so even if I have to work a little harder, I don't feel tired at all." "You see, I'm still so young. I'm chasing my dream now. What's more, I haven't even won an international best actress award yet. I hope that I can continue acting for another ten years or eight years and win a prize. At that time, maybe I will be satisfied." Hearing that, Marty laughed at her words. "You worked so hard just to pursue this?" When Evelyn saw that he didn't seem to take it seriously, she couldn't help but let out a soft snort. "Don't look down on my dream. Although it's not worth mentioning for you, it's very important for me."
There was a peach blossom forest in front of them. Since it was June, the peach blossoms had withered away, but there was some fresh fruit on it, which was quite beautiful. Seeing this, Evelyn was very happy and quickly ran over with Marty. "Wow. Look! There are a lot of peaches." With a smile, Marty and said, "They are not ripe yet. Don't pluck them." It was only then that Evelyn withdrew her hand. Looking at the endless peach forest in front of her, she said, "Guess what's on the opposite side?" The peach forest covered a wide area, and the trees were so dense that it was impossible to see what was on the other side with naked eyes. Shaking his head, he answered honestly. "I don't know." Then, Evelyn took his hand and walked inside. "Let's go and have a look." Seeing that, Marty had no objection, so the two walked forward together. The forest was really big. It was hard to imagine that someone would make such a huge piece of
With her eyes widened, she looked at Marty in disbelief. Gritting her teeth, she said, "You don't know what I'm angry about? Don't you know what you've done? Don't you have a boundary?" Hearing that, Marty was completely taken aback. What did he do? Why was there a need to have a boundary? However, his experience taught him that no matter what caused her to be angry, at a time like this, he must not ask her the reason, otherwise, he would be wrong regardless of the question. Hence, no matter what it was, he had to apologize first. As a result, Marty became serious and said solemnly, "I'm sorry, honey. I was wrong." Hearing that, Evelyn was stunned. All of a sudden, the fire that was about to burst shriveled up like a punctured balloon because he said sorry. Looking at him for a moment, finally, she snorted coldly. "Don't think that I will forgive you just because you said that you were wrong. Hmph!" Immediately, Marty
It didn't take long for a well-seasoned, and delicious dish to be served. Looking at the food in front of her, she asked Clint, "What about yours?" With a bland look on his face, Clint replied, "I've eaten." As he was speaking, he sat down in front of her, then picked up a book to read. Seeing that, she did not force it and began eating. After finishing the meal, Clint got up and cleaned up the cutlery. Then, he said goodbye to the employees in the store before leaving with her. As they walked on the road, the woman's beauty and her unique temperament naturally attracted a lot of attention. Obviously, she felt a little uncomfortable to be looked at, so she gently pulled the corner of Clint's shirt and whispered. "Clint, they..." With an impassive expression, he glanced at the people who were looking over and said coldly, "What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs. Most people who could afford to come her
"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
