As he spoke, he moved his head closer to her. Somehow, they ended up kissing each other. That afternoon, as the sun shone on their faces, it seemed to shine on their hearts as well, making them warm. In the end, they decided that the wedding would be held on the third day next month. They heard from Uncle Poick that it would be a good day to get married. As for the location, Emmeline had always liked the sea, but other seasides were suitable for security reasons, and Jara was worried that someone would take advantage to sabotage the wedding, so he decided to set up the location on a private island. This island had been bought a long time ago. When Emmeline asked him the name of the island, he looked at her deeply and replied with a smile. Suddenly, her face turned red. Because he answered, "This island is called Emme Island." Emme Island... Of course, she knew what he meant. Only then did she know that he had bought her an
The priest declared again, "Groom, you may now kiss your bride." But at the end of the day, the atmosphere was already ruined. At this time, both of them stood face to face with heavy thoughts, and they were no longer in the mood for that. Of course, Jara could notice that she had lost her interest too, so in the end, he only kissed her on her forehead to complete the ceremony. After the ceremony, it was time for the banquet. As Emmeline needed to change into a new gown, Jara accompanied her back to the hotel. Naturally, she would bring along the gifts given by the guests. Even if she didn't like Luca, she couldn't embarrass him in front of so many guests. However, when Emmeline reached out to grab the box, her vision suddenly went black as she swayed a little. Seeing that, Jara quickly grabbed hold of her. "What's wrong?" After a few seconds, Emmeline came around and shook her head. "It's nothing." When Jara heard tha
Then, with a frown, she covered her forehead with her hand. Seeing that, Jara hurriedly placed his hand over hers nervously. Even his voice was tensed up. "What's wrong? It is a headache? Or are there other places that you're not feeling well?" However, Emmeline looked at him in a daze. After a while, she shook her head. "No, it's just that my temples twitched, and it was a little bit painful, but I'm fine now." As she spoke, she turned her head and glanced around. At that moment, the room was crowded with people. Originally, everyone was waiting outside in the living room. When they heard that she woke up, they all rushed in. But because she had just woken up, they were afraid to make a noise. So they had been holding back and said nothing. Looking at them blankly, Emmeline questioned. "What's wrong? Why are you all here? Why are you looking at me?" Clarissa frowned. Somehow she had a feeling that there was something wrong with Emmeline'
As he was consoling her, he noticed that she was still clenching her fingers, so he gently placed his hand over hers. Nevertheless, Emmeline listened to his words and was dubious about it. In a low voice, she uttered. "Jara, don't lie to me. If it was not a big deal then why is your expression like this?" She knew Jara well. Both of them had been through thick and thin. He was the kind of person who would remain calm even if there was an earthquake. However, at this moment, he did not look good at all. Jara lowered his eyes slightly. When he opened them again, there was a gentle smile on his face. Looking up, he stroked her hair and whispered. "Okay. I'll admit. There is a small problem, but believe me, it can be solved. When we go back, the doctor will perform a full-body examination on you and begin the treatment. You will be fine soon, okay?" After all, Emmeline was a smart woman. Even though he had tried his best to look normal, she could
However, Jara didn't seem like he was joking at all. At a time like this, Uncle Poick finally realized that he was serious. Suddenly, his heart sank. "Then what should we do now?" For a moment, Jara was silent. "We can only take it one step at a time." With that, he went upstairs. Upstairs, Emmeline was sitting on the balcony, enjoying the cool breeze. In fact, the weather was no longer hot in this season. Perhaps there was a lot to worry about, so Emmeline felt slightly uneasy at that moment. It wasn't until she sat there and felt the cool breeze blowing on her face that she felt a little better. Hence, when Jara came up, she didn't notice him at all. It was only when she felt a warm sensation on her shoulders that she reacted. Turning around, she raised her eyebrows upon seeing him. "Are they all gone?" "Yes." As he spoke, he walked over and sat down beside her. Stretching out his hand, he wrapped it arou
Therefore, at this moment, when he saw Jara and Emmeline, he immediately walked over. "Here you are." Meanwhile, Jara's sharp gaze fell on the people in the hall, and he looked impassive. In a low voice, Emmeline uttered. "We came as told. Now you should tell us the truth, just as you promised, right?" Hearing that, Luca didn't beat around the bush. So he directly took them to see Rowan. In the past, Jara and Emmeline had only heard about Rowan and never seen him. Today, when they saw him, they found out that he was just an ordinary old man. With a smile, Rowan greeted. "Since you're here, come with me." Again, the two of them were stunned. Initially, as the Marsh family had spent a lot of effort to get Jara and Emmeline to come over, they thought that it was Rowan who wanted to see them. However, judging from the current situation, it seemed that there was someone else behind this. The two of them exchanged a gla
On the other hand, Jara's mental state not so much different than hers. Previously when Emmeline was missing, he had unfinished business with the Marsh Family. By rights, he should be more vigilant and hostile to the man in front of him. Perhaps it was because of the environment, or it could be Coby's modest attitude, but as they were sitting here, he was not angry at all. With a smile, Coby said suddenly, "You look very much like your father." Hearing that, Emmeline was slightly shocked. "You knew my father?" "Yes." With a nod, Coby looked out of the window and realized it was drizzling outside. The rain continued to fall, adding a hint of bleakness to the scenery. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he continued faintly, "He was my subordinate for fifteen years. We were really close, like brothers, like family." When Emmeline heard that, she frowned. Her intuition told her that there was a story behind it. As expected
He had lived for so many years, but it had been a long time since he had seen such an interesting person. "You're right. The thing that I want you to find for me is indeed really hard to find. Well, why don't you tell me, what do you want?" Then, Emmeline answered seriously, "I want this disease in me to be completely cured." Upon hearing that, Coby narrowed his eyes. "You want me to cure it for you?" "That's right!" Coby fell silent for a moment and suddenly, he smiled. "You are too naive. If there is really a way to cure this disease in this world, do you think that the Marsh Family members will still be troubled by this disease for so many years?" When these words came out, Emmeline and Jara's faces both changed. "Do you mean that there is no cure for it?" "No." The atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped, and the three of them did not speak again. Obviously, Coby was not in a hurry, so he just sat there and loo
"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
