"Bring her back to see me," Grayclouds urged to Jason. Jason answered in a low voice, "Yes!" Outside, Emmeline was still struggling. She had no idea what was going on with this memory that had appeared out of nowhere in her mind. All she knew was that she had to escape right away. There was no other reason except that she felt a significant risk in addition to the vague and unexplainable attachment. So, she heard a voice in her head urging her to run! Hurry and ran! She gritted her teeth, stood up, and stumbled outside. However, at this point, a black shadow appeared and stood in front of her. "Miss Illington, where are you going?" She looked up and saw the man with a silver mask. "Who are you?" she questioned coldly, her face darkening. The silver-masked man smiled and said, "Why don't you stay here and figure it out if you're so curious about our identities? If you stayed, maybe you'd have it all sorted out." Em
Emmeline's expression shifted, but she suppressed it and said coldly, "I don't know what you are talking about!" However, Grayclouds was not upset. Instead, he shook his head in disappointment and remarked, "Do you really not remember anything at all? Or are you just refusing to face it?" He looked at her with a bright look in his eyes. Emmeline was irritated as a result of the memories that flashed across her head. In truth, her emotions were becoming more complicated. For a moment, she wasn't sure if he was telling the truth or not. The reason for this was that she couldn't recall anything from the years preceding her mother's visit to the Murrays. She wasn't sure if it was because she was too young to recall or for another reason, but her memories before the age of six or seven were absolutely blank in her mind. However, she grasped that as she grew older, she would forget things from her childhood. So she didn't think much about it be
Grayclouds looked up at Emmeline and said, "Don't worry. I know you value Yunne very much, so I didn't hurt her. Go back to your room and have a rest. I'll have someone bring her over later." When Emmeline heard that and confirmed that he didn't lie to her, she was relieved. She turned around and went upstairs. After she left, Jason walked in from outside. He looked in the direction in which Emmeline left and frowned unpleasantly. Clearly, he was dissatisfied with Emmeline's attitude toward Grayclouds. However, he was well aware of his own identity and knew that he was not qualified to make any comments at this time. Therefore, he only asked, "Sir, do we bring Josie here?" Grayclouds nodded. "Bring her here and warn her. If she dares to say anything..." He said with a determined look in his eyes. Jason immediately grasped the situation and nodded, saying, "Yes, I understand." After that, he turned and left. Soon, Yunne w
Emmeline stood up and hugged Yunne. "Emmeline, you're here! It turns out that you're fine. You have no idea how terrified I was!" She cradled Emmeline in her arms, trembling with fear. Emmeline held Yunne in her arms, her feelings complex and tinged with guilt. Yunne was simply an ordinary girl who had probably never been kidnapped in her life. This time, Yunne was implicated because of her. As a result, she felt extremely guilty. She gently patted Yunne on the shoulder and murmured, "It's okay. Don't be scared." Yunne whimpered and looked up from her shoulder. "Emmeline, what is going on?" she questioned as she wiped her tears. Then, Emmeline glanced at Grayclouds, who was still standing by the door with cold eyes. "It's nothing. Don't worry. You'll be fine." After noticing that she was looking at him with an unfriendly look, Grayclouds shrugged his shoulders, turned around, and left. Shortly, Emmeline signaled fo
It was as if the same body housed a different soul. This thought flashed across her mind, but she quickly dismissed it. Emmeline giggled and thought, "What's wrong with me?" How could an atheist have self-doubts? She turned around and walked outside, shaking her head. Outside, Yunne was waiting for her. "Emmeline, what are we going to do today?" she inquired hesitantly when she saw Emmeline walking out. Last night, she had already promised Yunne that she would find a way to ask them to let her go and send her out as soon as possible. Emmeline looked at her nervous look and couldn't help laughing. "Don't be like this. It's obvious that you're playing tricks. Relax and carry on as usual. I don't have a specific plan yet. We'll see how things go." Yunne, who was initially full of confidence, turned depressed when she learned Emmeline didn't have a plan. "Will... will it work?" she asked with some concern. Emmeline mur
Emmeline cast a gloomy glance at Grayclouds. She had no idea whether what he stated was true or not. After all, her mother had passed away many years ago, and her memory before the age of eight was blank. She couldn't recall anything else besides the memories she recalled when she visited here recently. After all, there was no evidence but only his claim. It was difficult for Emmeline to believe him. At the thought of this, a hint of indifference flashed in her eyes. "Well, even if what you said is true, do you think you can really keep me here by kidnapping me in this way?" she replied. Grayclouds smiled as he stared at her. "I just want us to know each other better. Of course, if you decide to leave later, I will not stop you." Emmeline sneered, "How can I trust you?" Grayclouds arched his brow. "What do you want me to do for you to trust me?" Emmeline thought for a moment before saying directly, "Let Yunne go. It's ou
After that, Jara turned around and strode away. However, Grayclouds came prepared, so how could he really be tracked by Jara? He vanished halfway through the journey. In the vast sky, Jara couldn't possibly trace him. Angered, Jara smashed a vase. However, he was now certain that Emmeline was indeed in the hands of the Icarus Association. His gaze quickly became harsh and malicious. "Humph, I'll get you sooner or later. Do you really think you can run away?" he thought to himself. As a result, he immediately summoned his men and headed aggressively to the headquarters of the Icarus Association in F Country. On the other side. When Emmeline woke up again, she found herself in a car. The vehicle was not a minicar but rather a large truck. She was lying in the carriage behind the truck at the time. Inside it, there were two soft cushions. However, it was pitch black since the door was shut. Only a glimmer of light cou
"You want me to go out of Jara's sight and out of the bodyguard's protection range, then knock me out and let them take me away, right?" This time, Josie did not deny it. "Yes." Emmeline's heart sunk gradually. "Why? It's because I'm not kind enough to you? Why did you betray me?" As soon as she finished, Josie's eyes darkened. "You're really nice to me, but in this world, words can't solve everything." "I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt you, but I have no choice," she added softly. "Why don't you tell me what made you do such an immoral thing?" Emmeline scoffed. Then, Josie looked at her and suddenly gave a self-deprecating smile. "Don't try to get any information from me, Emmeline. Let me tell you the truth. Even if you were to rebel against me, it would be useless. In their eyes, I am nothing more than a tool. You are not the only one being watched; I am as well. So, instead of wasting your time on me, think about how to cope with your b
"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
