"Handsome, why are you here alone? Is there no one to accompany you? Can I stay here with you?" As she spoke, she threw herself at Clint. Clint was caught off guard and embraced her. He wanted to push the woman away at first, but when he touched her body, a soft fragrance filled his nose. He was startled, a little absent-minded. Looking at the woman in front of him, he only felt that it was an illusion. Sue's frail and pale face appeared before his eyes shortly after. "Sue." He was ecstatic and shouted in a daze. "Sue, is it you?" "You still can't bear to leave me alone. You came to find me because you're worried, right?" He couldn't stop himself from reaching out his hand to the woman and shouting, "Sue!" In the noisy corridor of the bar, the woman's mouth was curved with a seductive smile. Then, she gently placed one hand on his shoulder and spoke softly and seductively. "Yes, I am Sue. I've come to see you
Buckley said with a smile, "Mr. Vale, I apologize for inviting you in such a rude manner. But I'm afraid if I politely invite you, you won't come. Also, you're not going to admit what you've done to me. So, I have no choice but to do this. Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way." Clint's expression shifted again, but he already knew what Buckley had to say. But he refused to admit it. Then, he responded with a sneer, "You've got to be kidding me, Mr. Blaine. What did I do to you? You're just taking advantage of the fact that I've just returned from abroad to humiliate me like this. Buckley, despite your family's clout in the country, I am not an easy person to deal with. So you should let me go right now..." "Don't worry, Mr. Vale." This time Roland was the one who spoke. Following that, he took out a photo and handed it to Clint. "Take a look here first. Do you know the man in the photo? We will talk about other things later. What
At first, Buckley was unsure whether he should do so. The reason he was hesitant was also because of his driver. The driver had been with him for several years and had done an excellent job. Buckley didn't want to see the driver sacrifice his life for naught when something like this occurred. He did, however, figure it out later on. In any case, a dead person could not see the fair judgement. The most important thing was to take care of the driver's family on his behalf and not let any of them suffer any harm. As for Clint, the Blaine family couldn't do anything to him now, but they would get their revenge sooner or later. There was a hint of sharpness in his eyes at the thought of that. However, it only lasted for a moment before dissipating. His usual gentle demeanor soon showed. "Since we don't have anything else to do, let's play chess," he said to Roland next to him. He was the one who taught Roland how to play ches
"I didn't care if Sue didn't trust me because I was too busy with wedding preparations. Besides, my company was still in its early stages, so I was really preoccupied." "Now that I think about it, it's because I neglected her at the time, thinking she'd figure it out on her own, so that was the cause of the disaster that followed." Buckley didn't go on to discuss the subsequent incident. He didn't want to mention it in front of Clint now. But even if he didn't say it, the two of them understood. Clint's face darkened, while Roland nodded thoughtfully. "So, isn't it all a misunderstanding?" Buckley nodded. "Yes, but this misunderstanding is the result of my indecisiveness. It's all my fault." He raised his head to look at Clint and said, "I'm aware you've been by her side for the past twenty-six years. This is also why I'm willing to let you off the hook today. I owed her for not making things clear back then. Well, I've returned the favor now t
Sue opened her eyes wide and stared blankly at the helper. Soon, the helper left but soon returned with a few pieces of candy. Then, she put them in Sue's palm. The helper smiled warmly and added, "Be a good girl, Sue. Don't cry when you get an injection later. These candies will be your reward." She nodded firmly as she glanced at the candy she loved the most. Only then did the helper call the doctor over to give Sue an injection. Even though it was excruciatingly painful, she remembered the helper's words and held back her tears. Her little palm clutched the candy as though it were her entire world. After the injection, the doctor left. The helper had other commitments, so she also left. Sue excitedly took out the candy, removed the candy wrapper, and was ready to pop it into her mouth. All of a sudden, a few children rushed out and snatched her candy. In her dream, she could not hear what the person in front of her was saying.
The carved bench was comfortable to sit on because it was covered with a thick cushion. On the table next to them were the tea and snacks sent by the servant just now, as well as the fresh plate of fruit Charlotte had just served. It was a complete set of breakfast! It was spring. As a result, it was pleasant to sip tea while basking in the warm spring sun. Charlotte picked up the tea and took a sip. She narrowed her eyes, looking quite relaxed. On the other hand, Buckley, who was next to her, felt wronged. He took a careful look at Charlotte and asked tentatively, "Dear, do I... get any tea?" Charlotte paused and turned to look at him. "Do you want it too?" Buckley nodded rapidly. Soon after, he watched Charlotte as she poured him a glass of warm water from the pot beside her. "You can have some water. It's good for your health." Buckley was rendered speechless. As he stared at the glass of plain water in front of
"Many people in this world love each other but can never be together. Just like Clint. Even though he has stayed by Sue's side for the past twenty-six years, she has never fallen in love with him." "We should already consider ourselves lucky because we love each other and are married. Besides, we have never really separated, no matter how many difficulties we have faced in the past." "There used to be a wedge in our hearts because of my indecision." "Let me now tell you what's on my mind. I hope we can let go of the grudge and really connect. Charlotte, will you forgive me?" Buckley looked at her affectionately after he finished speaking and looked forward to her answer. Charlotte's mood was complicated. There was a sense of being moved, as well as bitterness and mixed feelings. Her eyes couldn't help but get watery. She couldn't stop crying even before she looked at him. As soon as Buckley saw her weeping, his heart ached. In a pan
On the other hand, Marty rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, what's the special occasion today?" As Buckley and Charlotte heard his words, they raised their heads in confusion and questioned, "What do you mean?" "What? What are you talking about?" Marty couldn't help but gave a whimsical smile. "Haha. Why are you two hugging so tightly if nothing is going on today? You look so comfy like you're cuddling with a bear! Tsk tsk. That's strange!" Immediately, Buckley was rendered speechless. Charlotte, too, was utterly baffled. Immediately, they both let go of each other. Buckley coughed, looking a little uncomfortable, and then he glared at Marty. "What are you talking about? We are watching TV." Marty nodded thoughtfully. "Oh, I see. Hmm, but it's necessary to hug each other so tightly?" Hearing that, Charlotte couldn't help but grab a pillow and hurl it at him. "You're talking too much! Get your hands washed
"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
