Seeing this, Clarissa didn't mind. She brought Nora with her and ate with them. As she could adapt to the country's lifestyle quickly, the other man felt relieved. At the table, he asked her a few questions. When she answered all of them, he was delighted. Just then, Clarissa glanced at Jara with a meaningful gaze. When Jara saw her gaze, he obviously understood, but he didn't answer her immediately. Instead, he pretended that he didn't see anything and looked somewhere else. Angered, Clarissa glared at him, but she couldn't do anything to him. After having her lunch, she found an opportunity to find Jara alone. Meanwhile, Jara was smoking in front of the window. At that moment, he was dressed in an old tunic shirt. Even though it was a sloppy outfit, he looked like an indifferent prince of the Middle Ages. For a while, Clarissa stared at him before she shook her head. "Wait! A prince? Are you crazy?" she thought to herself.
So, Anderson held Clarissa's hand and asked, "Clarissa, can you promise me one thing?" Clarissa looked at him. "What is it?" Then, he continued, "Promise me not to investigate that incident anymore." Upon hearing that, she was shocked. "If you really want to know, I'll help you investigate," he added. At once, Clarissa frowned. She said, "Actually, I don't have to know about it, but I just feel..." Suddenly, she pursed her lips. Anderson looked at her and slowly coaxed her, "Feel what?" Right away, she explained, "Do you know? I often have a dream. In that dream, I sunk to the bottom of the sea. However, I was not the only one. You were with me too. Anderson, I am scared. I always have the feeling that we probably have known each other since nine years ago." Instantaneously, Anderson was struck dumb, and he looked at her. After a while, he forced a laugh. "Clarissa, why do you think that way?" To that, she shook her head
Even if you could beat them up, you would be badly injured. It was not worthwhile at all. Therefore, as time went by, no one dared to provoke them any more. Later, his brother became the first person in the town to work outstation. As the town was very secluded, the people there had a traditional mindset. In their view, it was impossible to work outside the town. However, when Nathan and his brother were so poor that they ran out of food, his brother left the town. Not only did he leave the town, but he also met a wealthy boss. The wealthy boss liked Nathan's brother very much, so he assigned lots of work to his brother. With that, his brother made a lot of money, and he would send some to Nathan every few days. Time passed, and Nathan hadn't seen his brother for several years. When his brother returned, Nathan thought he could celebrate their reunion and spend more time together. However, he didn't expect that his broth
Therefore, Jara's prestige in Nathan's heart grew greater. Seeing that Jara accepted his good intentions, Nathan was relieved. After that, he had a small talk with Jara. Without saying a word, Jara listened patiently before he responded and left. This time, Jara's bodyguards drove two off-road Hummers. Under the sunset, the huge body and smooth black lines were like two hibernating daunting beasts. After the girl ran out, she saw the two cars parked in front of the door. For a split second, she was a little surprised. Right after that, her eyes flashed, and she quickly ran to the car with a smile. "Hi, could you please tell me where I should sit?" Before that, the bodyguards who had been staying in the car had already received the news that Jara would bring a woman with him. Although they were surprised, they dared not say anything. Facing the question, one of the bodyguards pointed at a car and opened the door for her.
But she still insisted on asking him for an explanation. Unfortunately, even when she was on the verge of death, she still didn't manage to hear his explanation. When Jara was seven years old, Sara passed away. At that time, after breaking up with Claus, she found out that she was already pregnant. To her, this child was like a shot through her heart. He was both the symbol of her beautiful love and the evidence of her being abandoned. Therefore, her feelings for the child were very complicated. She loved and hated him at the same time. Moreover, since her relationship with Claus was exposed, the Hewitt Family had regarded her as a disgrace and kicked her out of the family. They were embarrassed that she had a child with a married man. From then on, Sara could only live in this castle with Jara. In that era, although they lived by the heritage left by Sara's father, the rest of the family members had isolated them. Needless to say, they
He... he just left like this? The girl was a little confused. After all, she was bought by him, so she expected she would be bullied. But now, he... just left? Meanwhile, Uncle Poick suddenly appeared. Seeing that she stood there in a daze, he smiled, went forward, and spoke in a friendly manner, "Miss, please follow me." Hearing that, the girl came back to her senses. She glanced at the butler and finally nodded. In the end, she was arranged to stay in one of the guest rooms in the castle. Everything in the guest room was well-prepared. Despite her sudden arrival, the castle already had women's supplies as Uncle Poick had prepared those a long time ago. That was because he had always been looking forward to Jara bringing a woman back. At first, he thought that these things would not be of any use anymore. However, unexpectedly, Jara now brought back a woman. So, she could use those things. When the girl entered the room and saw the
After all, who would have thought that such a young man—who came from a city and received higher education—would be in cahoots with traffickers? Those female students thought that he was a college senior that was out traveling during his semester break, so they trusted him very much. As a result, they ended up in a living hell. Initially, he had no intention to take advantage of Kayla. After all, Kayla's father, Samej Burke, was a businessman, and he was doing quite well in local areas. In fact, he was from the same hometown as Kayla. As he was living with his mother and his siblings, he was worried that if he did something to Kayla, Samej would harm his family. Therefore, although he had the desire to harm Kayla several times before that, he did not take any action. However, this time was different. This time, Kayla was the one who took the initiative to leave her family. Before he agreed to rescue her, he had already asked her not to le
Seeing that Jara did not speak, Kayla thought that she had asked a question that she shouldn't have asked. For a split second, she was panicking. Right away, she started to think about whether she should change the topic and quickly leave. Just then, he said, "Yes." Although his voice was very soft, it made Kayla's heart flutter. It didn't occur to her that he would admit it. After all, she was just... A strange feeling flitted across her heart. With confusion in her eyes, she looked up at him. Jara was very stunning. In her life, she had never seen this kind of handsomeness. At that moment, he was exuding a strong aura and a sense of alienation. However, thanks to this sense of alienation, she could feel an inexplicable throb in her heart, just like the feeling of seeing the man she liked for the first time. On the other hand, Jara didn't have much thought. So, after admitting it, he looked at her. "After you return to Ascijan, forget a
"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
