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
In fact, for over 20 years abroad, he had indeed made it. In the past few years, no matter what happened, he would always be calm and composed. He would accompany her, take care of her, and protect her. He was someone she could always rely on. However, he was still a human after all. For the countless challenges encountered, his emotions were not affected at all, however, if it involved what he cared the most about. His aggression that had been restrained would explode in an instant. Taking a deep breath, he tried to soften his voice and said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have lost my temper at you. Sue, let me send you back to your room to get some rest." With a nod, Sue didn't say anything further. She allowed him to support her as they walked toward the hotel. When they reached the hotel's lobby, Sue withdrew her hand and said to him softly, "It's alright. I'll go up myself. Clint, you've had a long day. You can go a
As she spoke, she raised her head to look at him all of a sudden and asked, "Your mother's name is Charlotte, isn't it?" Although Marty had mentally prepared himself, when his mother's name was called, he felt slightly awkward. But, he did not reveal any emotion, as he nodded calmly. "Yes, do you know her?" This time, the smile on Sue's face was much warmer. "Yes, I know her." How could they not know each other? Charlotte was the person she had been looking up to since she was a child! And Charlotte had treated her like her younger sister too. To Sue, she was like a big sister that she adored since she was young. It was a pity that fate made fools of them. Sue was the one who had let her down. Until today, she was too ashamed to see her! As she thought of that, her gaze darkened. At this moment, 'ding' was heard in the elevator. As the sound penetrated the silent atmosphere, it had undoubtedly saved their awkwardness.
At last, she came out with a broad suggestion. "How about this? The one who loses will have to agree with one request of the winner. No matter what it is, you can't refuse." When he heard these words, Marty's eyes lit up . Slightly narrowing his eyes, he gave a malicious smile. "Really?" In the meantime, Evelyn seemed to not realize that she had dug a hole for herself. With a strong sense of righteousness, she even added. "Of course, a word spoken is past calling. Whoever cheats is a coward!" Immediately, Marty smiled happily and said, "Okay, since you want to make a bet, I'll play along with you." Hence, the two of them reassumed their stances once again and prepared to take a strike with their last two chances. Suddenly, Evelyn thought of a problem and said, "Wait a minute. What if we both get the same scores?" Then, Marty said, "It doesn't matter. We'll compete for another round. The one who misses the hole loses." After t
Evelyn glared at him with resentment. "How dare you!" Marty smiled and touched the corner of her mouth, saying, "Sorry, I couldn't hold back my excitement. I'll take you to see a doctor later." When she heard she needed to see the doctor, Evelyn couldn't help blushing again. She gnashed her teeth and exclaimed, "Shut up! I won't go. You can go on your own." Her look of anger did not seem to be angry at all. Instead, she looked a little coy. Marty felt that the temptation that he had suppressed so hard had reappeared. In order not to do anything out of line again, Marty quickly changed the subject. "We'll go back this afternoon. Is there somewhere else you'd like to go? I will accompany you." Evelyn thought for a while. In fact, it was rare for her to have a day off. So she just decided to stay in her room and sleep. Furthermore, she was still sore all over her body as a result of what Marty had done to her the night before. As
Clarissa took out her phone and looked at it. She couldn't help frowning. Evelyn asked, "What's wrong?" "Nothing. I'll take a call. You can go ahead and try it on first," Clarissa replied. Then, Evelyn nodded and watched her walk out of the store to answer the phone. Afterward, she went into the fitting room. Clarissa went outside to pick up the phone. Jara's voice came from the other side. "Maxi, I have something to ask you for help. Are you free to talk now?" Right after, Clarissa frowned and expressed her displeasure, saying, "Jara, I thought we had stopped contacting each other a long time ago. I don't think you should call me right now to ask for help." Upon hearing this, Jara did not get upset; instead, he chuckled. "Come on, don't say no so soon. Listen to what I have to say first. Since I have come to you, you can rest assured that it's not something that only benefits me." When Clarissa heard that, she went quiet.
Evelyn would never have imagined that the relationship between Charlotte and Sue was like this. Clint did not sit with them, and it was most likely because he did not think it was fitting. Besides, he did not have a common topic to talk about with them. So, he ordered a cup of cold drinks for himself and sat aside. At first, Evelyn thought it was strange. However, when she saw how Sue did not say anything else, she felt it was inconvenient for her to question further. "Does Mrs. Blaine know about your return this time?" she asked, a small frown on her face. Sue stared blankly for a moment as though she had not expected the question. She also did not appear to have considered this question. After a moment of silence, she said, "Probably not." If Charlotte knew, she would undoubtedly hate Sue. After all, Sue had once promised Charlotte to leave this place, leave that guy, and never return. Yet, she broke her promise. She did not
"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
