Clarissa had already informed Anderson that she would be leaving today when he left this morning. With Nora around, Anderson didn't have to worry about anything. Furthermore, according to Clarissa, she went out this time only to work. He didn't have to worry because it wouldn't be long before they returned in three or four days. As a result, he did not send her off but instead commanded the driver to take them straight to the airport. He would pick them up later when they returned. Clarissa was actually feeling a little guilty. She felt as if she had betrayed Anderson's trust in her. However, if he was aware of this, he would be in a dilemma. Thinking of this, Clarissa took a deep breath and managed to suppress the depression in her heart. Nora and her went to the boarding gate as soon as they arrived at the airport. They would have to take a seven-hour flight to F Country. The two of them dozed on the journey, and by the time
"Thank you so much." Clarissa smiled. "Okay. Check your phone for the text message later." "Sure, thank you." Not long after she hung up the phone, she received a text message. Clarissa clicked on it and carefully examined the address. She discovered that it was a place she had visited when she was still in F Country a long time ago. She thought for a moment before copying the address and sending it to Nora. Then, she put the phone away. "Take note of this address. We should be there in the next two days." Nora took out her phone, looked at it, and asked, "Is it a training ground?" Clarissa nodded. After all, she hadn't had real competition for several years. No matter how skilled the player was, they wouldn't be able to find themselves in a good state to do it if they hadn't practiced in a few years. Clarissa gave herself only two days. She could be deemed incredibly powerful if she could regain her previous skills in two da
Thinking of this, Nora felt even more distressed. Seeing Clarissa coming out of the car, Nora dashed to meet her. Nora had a towel and water ready in her hand. She then asked, somewhat concerned, "Clarissa, how are you doing? Are you tired?" Clarissa glanced at Nora and shook her head with a smile. "I'm fine." Even though she was exhausted, psychological comfort might sometimes help to reduce the physical discomfort. She did feel a little uneasy at the beginning of her practice. However, after four hours of practice, she felt much better. Although she had not returned to her prior peak position, she had made significant improvements. She believed that as long as she worked hard for the following two days, she would be able to return to her finest form. Thinking about this, Clarissa asked, "What time is it now?" Nora glanced at her watch. "It's exactly twelve o'clock." Clarissa nodded. "It's late. Let's go back." "Alright
Upon hearing that, Jara was speechless. He fell quiet as if he had been given a hard time by her. After a long while, he chuckled. Upon hearing that, Jara was speechless. He fell quiet as if he had been given a hard time by her. After a long while, he chuckled. Then, he said playfully, "Maxi is all grown up now and he is becoming rebellious." Hearing that, Clarissa was stunned. Somehow, Jara seemed to know that the more she hated him to talk in that manner, the more he wanted to do so. It seemed that he was born to argue with her. Rubbing the space between her eyebrows, she felt a slight headache. "Jara, do you believe that I'll go back to Sapleusia right away and forgo this deal? We will end this immediately and part our own ways!" Hearing that, Jara laughed softly. "You've learned so many bad ideas from others, and you can't let me say anything about you?" After a pause, he seemed to realize that she was
Stunned for a moment, Nora hadn't come around for what he actually meant. On the other hand, he just assumed that she was unwilling to admit it, so he smiled with his eyes squinted. "You don't have to be on your guard against me. I don't mean you any harm, and I won't expose it to those boring reporters." As he spoke, he took out his phone from his pocket and entered Clarissa's name on the search bar. Soon, pieces of news came out one after another. Clarissa was all over the news, and without an exception, it was all about when she was an actress. For the past few years, she stopped filming because she was having a baby, so the news was all dated a few years ago. But, if anyone wanted to search for it, they could still find a lot of it. Suddenly, Nora felt a little awkward. She blamed herself for this. Because she had been working with Clarissa for too long, the things she did and all of her identities were far too complicated, which mad
True love would not fade away with the passage of time. In truth, it was like a pot of strong liquor. Time would only strengthen its intensity and depth, and it would not change the essence of the alcohol. As Clarissa recalled the time when she married Anderson, she was half coerced and half forced to agree. At that time, she never thought that they could come so far. It was only now that she realized she had been with him for such a long time. With that in mind, she raised her lips irresistibly, looking at him, and said solemnly, "Me too. I miss you every second." Hearing that, Anderson was incredibly pleased. Suddenly, the faint smile on his handsome face widened. And the corners of his mouth stretched into a big happy smile in the end. "You are coming back in three days, right?" "That's right." "I'll pick you up at the airport." "Okay." After a pause, Clarissa reminded him. "Don't come too early. Just estima
While she was speaking, the noise outside was getting louder. Suddenly, the door of the lounge was banged open from the outside. "As I said, I won't compete with this woman. If you want to continue the finals, then choose someone else, as long as it's not her!" While screaming angrily, he was pointing at Clarissa. Everyone present, not only Clarissa and Nora, but the other contestants and the organizers were looking all at him with an expression showing that they were at a loss of words. On the other hand, Clarissa surprisingly was very calm. Smiling leisurely as she took a sip of tea, then looked at him and asked, "Why do you say you don't want to compete with me?" After hearing that, Andrew responded angrily. "I just didn't want to! You don't seem experienced and skilled enough anyway. Why would I compete..." Before he could finish his sentence, Clarissa's brows were already knitted together. Then, she interrupted. "Do you have a
The organizers could act as a buffer in the middle, but at the same time, they could also ignore it and let them settle it themselves before starting the competition. But they would never allow anyone to slander them. Once the organizers were challenged, the contest would lose its authority. Because of this, this behavior was not allowed in any industry. But now, the man called Andrew had publicly insulted the organizers and claimed that they had an improper relationship with Clarissa. And Clarissa was able to make it to this stage of the competition only because of her improper relationship with the organizer. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that this was simply a joke. How did Clarissa get to this point? Every contestant today had their own eyes and could see it. Not everyone could acquire such skilled and first-rated techniques. Today, he had stirred up such a scene. It seemed that it was not because he disli
"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
