Anya’s POV:Kester had always loved me.I was unsure how to comfort him, but if I could uplift his spirits, I would marry him.For Kester, there was gratitude and appreciation in my heart.In the past, I had carried a burden and could not accept Kester’s love.Now, when Kester was at his most vulnerable, I felt it was necessary to offer him to support I could provide.“Anya, you don’t have to sacrifice yourself like this. I know the person you love is Evan.”I held his hand tightly, gazing at him with warmth in my eyes. “No, it's not true. I really love you. In the past, I felt that my divorce and the having children made me unworthy of you. So I couldn’t accept your love. But now, as you said, life is unpredictable and fortunate, it can change in an instant.”I continued, “There are some things that, if not done now, may never have a chance in the future. That day, you told me that if it was your last day, you wanted to be me by your side. After I went back, I kept thinking about tha
Kester’s POV:Anya’s phone rang non-stop every day.X city, M city, and Green Town all had a pile of work waiting for her to handle.I know that Anya’s career was in a rising phase and that she was extremely busy with work.Although I had more than enough money and Anya didn’t need to prioritize her career, I was not like Evan. I didn’t want to hinder Anya from pursuing what she wanted to do. I also understood that Anya wanted to fulfill her values.Therefore, I always supported the offered career.“Anya, why don’t you go and focus on your work from now?” I suggested.She smiled gently and reassured, “No, nothing is more important than your health. I will go back to work when you are feeling better.”I furrowed my brows, “But I am worried that if you continue like this, your work will be affected…”She replied, “It's fine. Even if I am not around, the higher-ups will take care of the company’s matter.”I smiled, “Anya, I am touched that you are sacrificing yourself for me.”“You silly
Evan’s POV:I felt a headache coming up upon hearing her words.Men were indeed fickle.Things that come too easily offer lost their allure. Princess Martha’s passionate and bold nature was indeed attractive in the beginning.But for men, this attraction was not just tempering novelty.Once the novelty wore off, it became nothing.However, considering Princess Martha’s prestigious status, I patiently continued to appease her.“Let’s forget about X city for now. It would be better for us to meet abroad after I finish my current work.” I patiently persuaded.Upon hearing this, her voice carried a hint of disappointment as she said, “Evan, are you afraid of being caught by the media?”“Mmm!” I ambiguously responded. “After all, you are a princess. If we were caught by the media, it would affect your reputation.” I explained.She instantly felt relieved and said joyfully, “Evan, don’t worry. Even if we are caught, I can marry you.”Upon hearing this, my head started to ache even more.The
Anya’s POVAfter hesitating for a moment, I sincerely took out a ring from my pocket.It was 9.9. carat heart-shaped pink diamond ring.It was the ring I had bought for Anya when I first confessed my love and proposed to her.Unfortunately, she didn’t accept it at that time.This time, I had my assistant find the ring for me.“Anya, this ring was specially bought for you. Would you… be willing to wear it?”She was stunned for a moment, but then smiled and reached out her hand. “Of course!”I laughed and looked at her affectionately, “By wearing this ring, it means you have accepted my proposal.”“Yes!” She nodded firmly.I felt a sense of relief and slid the ring onto Anya’s finger.Her fingers for long and slender, delicate and graceful.Illuminated by the light, the ring on her finger exuded an air of elegance and grandeur.“Anya, I love you.”“I love you too!” She smiled gently and put her face in front of me.I then deeply kissed her forehead.“For you, I will work hard on my reco
Evan’s POV:The moment she reached out, she revealed the diamond ring on her finger.Suddenly, my eyes fell on the diamond ring on Anya’s hand.My list twitched involuntarily.Anya had never liked wearing jewelry, so it was naturally impossible for her to spend money to buy a diamond ring.Moreover, this diamond ring was a pink diamond ring in the shape of a heart. It was worth at least two hundred thousand dollars. The Walter Group was currently in trouble now, and Anya would never spent such a large sum of money on a diamond ring.“What is that you’re wearing on your hand, Anya?” I asked abruptly.“It’s nothing!” She instinctively replied.My face paled, “Show it to me.”“Evan, can you please stop meddling in my affairs?”“Give me your hand,” I demanded, gripping Anya’s wrist and forcefully bringing her hand closer to my eyes.The diamond ring was a heart-shaped pink diamond. It must be incredibly expensive.My eyebrows raised, feeling an inexplicable wave of jealousy washed over me
Anya’s POV:The driver gets out first and opens the door.Jerry and Jason happily jumped out of the car. “Wow, this place is much nicer. We finally get to go home with Mommy.”“Yeah! It’s been so long since we had Mommy’s homemade dumplings. I have even dreamed about eating Mommy’s dumplings a few times.”I smiled and followed suit, getting out of the car. “Today, Mommy will make sure you enjoy a satisfying meal.”“Thank you, Mommy.”I had just called Miranda!I asked her to prepare the ingredients for the dumplings!After being away from my children for so long, I wanted to cook a meal for them with my own hands. The children loved my homemade dumplings, and I wanted to make them a special treat while I had the time.I led the children in front. Evan also got out of the car and followed.“What are you doing here, Evan?” I asked.“Nothing!”“Then why are you following us?” I questioned.When Evan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically, “Anya, you wouldn’t make me wa
Evan’s POV:I had never experienced such a satisfying and enjoyable eating experience before. Only the spaghetti made by Anya could satisfy my discerning taste buds.After finishing dinner, it was already 7:00 PM.Anya chatted with the children, completely ignoring me.Watching the warm and lively conversation between the mother and her three children, I felt increasingly left out. Jealousy crept up in my heart.“Cough! Cough!” I intentionally coughed heavily, trying to draw their attention.Unfortunately, Anya and the children were engrossed in their reunion, and no one paid attention to me.I touched my nose in annoyance and spoke in a cold tone, “Jerry, Jason, and Flora, it’s time to go back.”The three little ones’ smile vanished as soon as they heard it!The smile on Anya’s face also cooled down.Jason, with a hint of grievance, said, “Mommy, we want to stay here!”Anya gently comforted them. “Darling, you have to go to Kindergarten tomorrow.”“Mommy, we want to stay with you!” T
Evan’s POV:My head throbbed as I listened, and I furrowed in annoyance.“What did you say?”“I said, I am in the airport right now. Hurry up and come to pick me up.”“Didn’t I tell you that I will come to see you next week?”“I can’t wait, so I come to see you! Are you happy?”My head throbbed even more.Instinctively, I turned around and looked at Anya.She didn’t pay attention to who I was talking to but was engaged in the conversation with the children.“Evan, aren’t you coming to pick me up? I thought you would be happy!” Princess Martha’s tone carried a hint of disappointment.I felt helpless and could only grit my teeth and say, “Don’t wonder around. I will send someone to pick your right away.”“No, I want you to come to pick me up.”“I… I am busy right now.”She felt even more dejected upon hearing that. “Evan, do you not love me anymore? Or give me the address, and I will take a taxi myself!”I gave in and replied, “Never mind. I will come to pick you up. Don’t wander around
Author’s POV:Soon, the news of Anya Walter’s disappearance had spread like a wildfire.The media found out about Anya Walter’s disappearance through the mysterious informant.By the end of the day, the news has already been released online.“Evan Carter left dejected as his pregnant ex-wife escapes.”“You run, I chase… You can’t escape even if you have wings! Anya Walter deliberately disappears.”Evan Carter’s relationship with his ex-wife crumbles completely. Anya Walter was possibly abandoned.”As soon as the news was released, the Internet exploded again, and the entire city joined in to watch the show.“What’s going on between Mr. Carter and his ex-wife? Why is there so much news every other day? I hear so much about their melodramatic lives that I am tired of watching them.”“That’s right! We can’t have a moment o
Anya’s POV:I thought it over seriously for a night and decided to abort the child with pills.The hospital was not an option for me right now. Besides, there were laws against abortion.Soon, I put on a disguise and made my way to a private clinic.“Hello, what can I help you with?”“Do you have an abortion pill?”“No, no.” The doctor refused, repeatedly, sizing me up suspiciously.“Please help me, doctor! I need the abortion medicine. How much is it? Just tell me. I know you must have it here.” I took out $200 from my pocket.The small clinics certainly had abortion drugs and private abortion services.However, to avoid being investigated by the police, they never sold them openly.“Uh… You have to think about it carefully. Do you want the abortion medicine?”“Yes, please help me!” I was wearing a cap, a large mask, and s
Evan’s POV:My chest heaved violently as I digested Kester’s words. My face twisted in a murderous rage.Judging from Kester’s tone, he was probably telling the truth. Anya had not come to look for him. This made me even more worried.If she encountered bad people, the consequences would be more unimaginable.Soon, night fell.I returned home and rushed to the second floor.After looking at the safe, I was even more anxious.“Mr. Carter, we still haven’t found her…”The bodyguards had searched for an entire day, but they still couldn’t find Anya.They had no choice but to return and report their failure to me. “Mr. Carter, the bodyguard team faces constrains in our abilities. Perhaps, we should call the police instead.”When I heard this, the corner of my lips twitched. “Call the police? Is there something wrong with your worthless brains?”
Evan’s POV:Soon, all the nurses and bodyguards of the Carter family had joined to search for Anya.“Anya… Anya…” My eyes were bloodshot as I punched the bed frame.I knew Anya had not forgiven me.No wonder she had been behaving like a docile lamb. As it turned out, she had been planning her great escape the whole time.She deliberately pretended to reconcile with me, so I would let my guard down.No wonder she acted as though she had forgotten about the past. She was already making plans to flee.“I will give you two hours to find Anya. If you can’t find her, you'll get lost.”“Got it. Mr Carter!”Gael was calling again.I answered the call, feeling slightly frustrated, “What is it?”“Mr. Carter, bad news. I just checked the safe. Miss Anya’s document and passport are missing.”When I heard this. I felt wave
Author’s POV:The next day, servants and nurses finally woke up feeling exceptionally dizzy.Alan patted her head groggily and couldn’t help but complain, “Gosh, the wine was way too strong. Did everyone fall asleep?”The nurses and servants were responsible for Anya and usually took it in shifts at night. However, all four of them had fallen asleep last night.Alan subconsciously looked at the bed, only to find that Anya was already gone.Immediately, she panicked and shook her colleagues awake. “Where is Miss Anya?”“Oh my God! Madam is gone!”“Stop sleeping! Wake up! Something big has happened. Madam is missing.”The other three also got up in a daze.Looking at the empty bed, their heart skipped a beat. Instantly, they no longer felt sleepy.“What happened to Miss Anya?”“Miss Anya is missing! Hurry up and look for her!”
Anya’s POV:My face darkened. I subconsciously held my belly. A hint of hatred appeared in my eyes.“You should say that he is the lucky one!”“Yes, that’s right. You and Mr. Carter are the luckiest people on this earth!”I pursed my lips. I was not interested in feigning civility with these people.Without waiting for the birthday party to end, I said to Evan, “I am tired. I am going back to my room to rest!”“Alright, I will send you back to your room!”“There is no need. You can stay and entertain the guests. I will get servants to send me back to my room!”“That works too!”Then the servant pushed me away.I could only say that I was extremely disappointed in Evan. At the same time, I hated him for being violent and selfish.In the face of absolute power, I could not take revenge on him. But now I suddenly thought of a w
Anya’s POV:Because I had triplets, it was an especially difficult pregnancy for me. I almost lost my life twice.When I was seven months into the pregnancy, some complications happened and I had no choice but to undergo or C-section.When Evan heard this, a hint of heartache appeared on his face. He said gently, “I am sorry. I couldn’t take care of you and the children back then.”“I will make sure to support you for this pregnancy!”When I heard this, my pupils contracted, and I looked elsewhere.At that time, I felt too lonely, so I decided to give birth.Now I already have three children. I wouldn’t give him another child.If I were able to leave successfully, I would go to the hospital to get an abortion.Since Evan wanted this child so much, I would not let him have his way. I also wanted him to have a taste of heartache.“Mommy, is so great!”“That’s right! You must be filial to your mother when you grow up. Don’t make her angry, understand?”“Yes, we understand!”Evan immediat
Anya’s POV:Although the City hospital was good, the Avery Women’s Hospital is a high-end maternity and children's Care Hospital. It specializes in taking care of pregnant women and infants.All the rich wives and celebrities in X city like to give birth there.“Oh, okay. I listen to you.” I said perfunctorily.I would go along with whatever Evan said now. Evan could do whatever he wanted.I had already made up my mind that I would not give birth to this child.And I most certainly would not get together with Evan.I had already secretly called Michael in the meantime, and asked him to deal with the factory in M city.At the same time, I called Brother Trumpet and said that I wanted to quit the media group.Now, I would take advantage of the time to raise as much cash as I could. The more the better.When my calf was healed, I would find a suitable time to leave Evan.“Why aren't you saying anything? Why are you acting strangely recently?”“Not at all!”Evan’s POV:I frowned. I still
Mark’s POV:I bought a few security guards and went straight to Miss Linken’s office.With a dark expression, I told Miss Linken about Evan’s decision.When Miss Linken heard this, she thought she had heard wrongly and was shocked. “What? Mr. Carter froze my shares and dividends? What’s going on?”I pulled a long face and said sternly, “Miss Linken, you violated the company’s rules. The company is now conducting a full investigation.”When Miss Linken heard this, she was even more enraged. “Are you kidding me? I am a director of the company.”“Your shares had been acquired by the company. You are no longer a shareholder of the Carter Group.”Miss Linken’s POV:I was completely dumbfounded when I heard this.I felt like a lightning bolt out of the blue. I was thunderstruck. It took a long time before I returned to my senses for a long time.“Are you kidding me? I have worked for the Carter Group for more than 30 years. I have been conscientious and willing to do anything.”“You are wro
