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
Anyway, she didn't really come here to win the championship, so it didn't matter how she got it. As long as she got it, that was enough. Now that she had won, she could go back and exchange her conditions with Jara. She could get him to tell her what exactly happened during the time when she lost her memory nine years ago. Thinking of this, Clarissa couldn't help feeling excited and nervous. This was because she had hesitated for a long time before deciding to find the truth about that part of her memory. After all, that was a part of her life. She didn't want to have any regrets or to have a ticking time bomb in her life in the future. With the thought in mind, Clarissa didn't refuse the organizer's suggestion. Seeing that she had accepted, the organizers told her to take a rest in the room, someone would come to get her when they announced it later. After that, they went out. Then, Clarissa and Nora stayed in the lounge, and about ten minut
Someone had told her that Anderson had a deeper identity and background. However, she had never been aware of these things before. Not knowing if she was thinking too much, sometimes, she always felt that she couldn't see through him. Although she clearly knew that he loved her very much and would never hurt her, she just felt that she did not fully understand his heart. She would never forget that one afternoon, she was sitting in front of the french window in the living room, drinking tea and reading a book. She didn't know how long did Anderson start standing at the door. When she felt it, she turned around and saw that he was looking at her. However, his gaze was extremely strange. It was as if he was looking at her, but it also seemed like his gaze penetrated through her, looking into a very deep place, or at someone who was far in a distance. She knew that she shouldn't think too much about it. After all, everyone in the world knew that
After hearing that, Clarissa snorted. "Then how do you know that the person who hurt me was the one with the flame tattoo on the back of his neck?" In response to her question, Jara replied, "I saw it with my own eyes." Stunned, Clarissa knitted her eyebrows. "What do you mean? Didn't you say that you blew me up?" Hearing that she repeated what he said, Jara couldn't help but laugh. However, he went back to the topic and said, "Well, that's right, but that doesn't mean that I didn't see anything else." In fact, he was deliberately hiding the truth, so Clarissa frown again. "Jara, can you finish speaking in one breath?" "Of course. Kiss me and I'll tell you everything." "How dare you!" Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the impulse to grab him and give him a good beating. After a while, she insidiously smiled and said, "Suddenly, I don't feel like listening anymore. What do you say if I g
Before leaving, she still couldn't help but comforted Clarissa. "Clarissa, don't think too much. Maybe it's just a coincidence. No matter what happened in those few months, at least you're living a good life now. Even if something really happens, it won't have any impact." Hearing that, Clarissa nodded and smiled at her. "Okay. Go ahead and get some rest." "Okay." Only then did Nora leave. After she left, Clarissa was lying on the big bed alone, looking into the dark and endless depths of the night, but somehow she couldn't forget the intermittent scenes that flashed in her mind. She recalled the days when she was rescued by Jara and the way she looked after she woke up. At that time, she was also very curious about this memory and really wanted to find out what was going on. But she was too weak at that time, and she didn't have the ability to investigate. Day after day, she could only keep on training, and she had no persona
But this time, she felt uneasy for no reason. A sense of danger enveloped her heart and she was frowning. Fortunately, the turbulence only lasted for a moment before it calmed down. The others in the cabin saw that the plane was steady, they thought that it was just turbulence so they didn't pay attention to it. Everyone went back to sleep again. Some continued to chat, and some continue to read. However, Clarissa's heart could not calm down at all. It wasn't long before Nora finally returned. "I have told them and they thought the two men were strange as well. For the past three and a half hours on the plane, and they've been walking back and forth for four or five times." In a low voice, Nora explained as she sat down beside her. Hearing that, Clarissa nodded, and looked to the back of the cabin, whispering to her. "The plane just shook a little, did you feel it?" Stunned, Nora blinked her eyes. "I felt it. Perhaps it was t
"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
