Emmeline didn't go far. She was only hanging around in the garden in front of Tower B for a short while. As the warm sunshine shone on the top of her head, it was like a huge and soft cotton cloth layering around her body. At that moment, Yunne was by her side. Afraid that she would get cold from the wind, she had taken out a thin blanket for her. "Miss Illington, the lotus in the pond is about to bloom. Would you like to have a look?" There was a large pond at the outermost part of the castle's garden. Usually, Uncle Poick would order someone to take care of it, and Jara rarely went there. Uncle Poick felt that the pond looked a little empty without anything inside, so he asked Yunne to plant some lotus in there. It was only April now. Logically, it was not the time where the lotuses should be blooming yet. However, perhaps it was because the weather was getting warmer now, or perhaps it was because the lotuses Uncle Poick had ordered peop
Suddenly, the door opened. It was Quan who came in with Kayla. When he saw the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa, he smiled politely and greeted him. "Hello, Mr. Marsh." In response, Mr. Marsh nodded slightly. Then, Quan walked up to Jara and said in a low voice, "Mr. Holland, I've brought her here." Raising his head, Jara looked at her and responded. "Mmm." "You may leave now." "Okay." Hearing that, Quan left respectfully. Meanwhile, Kayla stood there and was a little confused. At first, she thought that Jara was only looking for her alone, so she was excited. But now, it was obvious that he had a guest. At this time, why did he ask her to come here? Kayla wasn't so arrogant to think that Jara would bring her along with him to socialize with his guests. After all, in his eyes, she was nobody, much less his woman. Then why did he summon her here? With doubt in mind, Kayla raised her head and looked at Jara.
After Kayla thanked Luca, Jara dismissed her. Then, he requested Uncle Poick to bring them a cup of tea as he continued to chat with Luca. In the evening that day. Jara and Luca walked out of the reception room together. When Jara walked him to the door, he said, "Mr. Marsh, since you have something to do, I won't keep you for dinner. We'll talk in detail next time when we have time." With a nod, Luca seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly, he added. "Jara, the young lady earlier... If possible, I hope you can do me a favor and treat her well." Hearing that, Jara raised his eyebrows. Obviously, if these words were said by a guest, it would be a bit abrupt and impolite. However, Jara didn't ask anything and just nodded with a smile. "Since it's your wish, of course, I'm obliged to do it." Hearing that, Luca was stunned. After glancing at him deeply, he turned around and left without saying anything. Soon, the car di
Jara took the towel and wiped the sweat off his head. He then took a big gulp of water before leading Quan out. However, as soon as he walked to the door of the boxing hall, someone with a petite figure suddenly rushed to him, blocking his way. "Jara, I have something to say to you." Looking at Kayla who had suddenly appeared, he frowned. Annoyedness rose from the bottom of his heart, but when he thought of something, surprisingly, he did not chase her away. Instead, he said in a low voice, "Come here." After that, they head to the lounge next door. As Kayla stood behind him and looked at his back, she bit her lips and followed him. In the lounge. The atmosphere was a little cold as usual. Sitting on a leather sofa, Jara looked at Kayla, who came in with her head lowered. Seeing that, Quan left without making a sound and had even closed the door for them. Then, Jara began. "Go ahead, what's the matter?" Before
However, why would Jara listen to her? With a sullen face, he pushed the wheelchair. As Emmeline was injured, it was hard for her to resist. Besides, she didn't want to fall from the wheelchair just for the sake of fighting back. It was not worth getting hurt again. Therefore, she could only let him pushed her away. At that moment, she was bent out of shape, and her breathing became rapid. Clenching her teeth, she cursed, "Jara, you're such a f*cking b*st*rd!" Despite being sworn at, Jara wasn't infuriated at all. On the contrary, he kept a straight face while pushing her all the way back to the main building. After entering the hall, he carried her from the wheelchair and walked to the bedroom upstairs. Emmeline was shocked. Feeling nervous, she began to struggle. "Why did you bring me here? Let go of me!" Ignoring her rebel, Jara remained silent and carried her to the bedroom. Then, he slammed the door shut with his feet and walke
Suddenly, Jara stood up, let go of Emmeline, and shouted, "Uncle Poick!" Right away, Uncle Poick entered the room. With a pair of icy-cold eyes, Jara glanced at Emmeline, who was still sitting on the bed. "Send Miss Illington back." "Yes, Mr. Holland." After that, Uncle Poick sent Emmeline back. As Jara and Emmeline were upset, they parted in discord. Even though Jara was enraged, Emmeline wasn't in a good mood either. At first, she was thrilled after blurting those words. It was as if she had vented out all her pent-up anger at once. However, as soon as she saw his sad expression, she was heartbroken. Thinking about that, Emmeline raised her hand and touched her chest. At that moment, she felt that as if a small knife had stabbed into her heart so deeply that it bled, and her face turned pale. On the other side, after Emmeline left, Jara vigorously kicked the sofa beside his bed before he walked out of the r
Jara would never forget the way Emmeline looked at him at that moment. Before that incident, she loved him as much as she loved her own life, while after that incident, she regarded him as a lifelong enemy. When she looked at him before, her eyes would be glimmering with happiness. After that incident, she would only look at him with eyes full of rage and hatred. In his life, he would never forget that cold, emotionless gaze of hers, and he never wanted to see that again. Suddenly, Jara's hand softened. With that, Kayla fell onto the sofa. Right away, she held her throat and began to cough violently. Jara looked at her coldly. Without any warmth in his eyes, he stared at Kayla's body. At the same time, Kayla felt that as if a knife was pointing at her back. At that moment, she was afraid to look straight into his eyes. Hence, while crouching, she faced her back toward him. Deep down, she had a bad feeling that this time, she might b
When he glanced at her, he suddenly remembered where that familiar feeling came from. Luca Marsh was the chairman of the Ostana Chamber of Commerce and the current patriarch of the Marsh family. Once, he had a wife that died eight years ago due to illness. Surprisingly, Kayla's appearance was similar to hers. As Jara discovered that, he started to investigate in secret. At first, he was not expecting any shocking fact, but through the investigation, he found that Luca's wife was also from Ascijan. The Marsh family and Jara had business dealings with each other, so they were quite close. However, in recent years, due to some variations in their power and influence, both of their standpoints began to differ. Currently, their business relationship was more like enemies than friends. Even so, since they had known each other very well, they apparently were still getting along well with each other. However, Jara knew that it was just a matter of time
"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
