Roxanne could only succumb to Ryler’s obvious threat.
She immediately shook her head vigorously and said, “Mr. Harrison, I don’t like you. Don’t pursue me.”
As a matter of fact, even if Ryler didn’t threaten her, she wouldn’t accept Luke’s pursuit.
But now, in the eyes of others, her behavior seemed to imply that she had a relationship with Ryler, but she didn’t realize it.
However, when Roxanne rejected Luke, a faint smile flashed across Ryler’s face.
He grinned at Luke and said, “Mr. Harrison. As Roxanne said, you-”
“It’s okay. Roxanne doesn’t know me yet. We will get to know more about each other in the future. Roxanne, although I used to be a playboy, I have a feeling that I will love you wholeheartedly when we are a couple.” After saying that, Luke didn’t press on any further.
But Ryler’s expression turned grim again. He was worried about Roxanne.
He turned toward Roxanne, but Roxanne pulled herself back out of fright. She didn’t dare to look at Ryler. However, her action seemed to have made her look guilty in the eyes of others.
An ominous aura flashed across Ryler’s eyes.
However, it was best not to cause any disputes at such a moment. Ryler didn’t come over to help Roxanne. In fact, he wasn’t even sure why he felt jumpy because of Roxanne.
After Ryler turned around and left, Roxanne let out a long sigh and quickly went to look for Damian to calm herself.
Everyone present who witnessed the moment saw the chemistry between Ryler and Roxanne very well. After all, the eyes of bystanders were always clearer.
The commotion amused Clarissa. She grabbed onto Matthew’s finger and whispered, “Are you men really that cheap? Not knowing the importance of a woman until she is being pursued by someone else?”
Matthew’s eyes turned cold. “Not me. I knew how important you were to me right from the beginning.”
“Is that so? Then, who was it that didn’t make up with me for so long after an argument?” Clarissa pouted.
“You were the one giving me the silent treatment,” Matthew sneered.
Clarissa remained silent for a moment before rubbing her forehead. “Oh, I don’t remember doing that. I seem to have a bad memory.” Clarissa used her pregnancy as an excuse to play dumb.
Matthew smiled in a doting manner as he watched her walk away while playing dumb.
The celebration did not last long because Clarissa was prone to experience fatigue due to her pregnancy.
Clarissa went to bed early as a pregnant woman. Everyone was considerate and left after hanging out for some time.
However, they gathered outside for another session.
They also invited a few people from the media to share their achievements, which was also Yael’s idea of annoying Shermaine.
Shermaine deliberately shot a lousy film to irritate them, so they should be allowed to celebrate their achievements to get back at her.
When the press release was published, Shermaine was the first to see it. However, like Clarissa, she learned to remain silent and did nothing.
Both parties were temporarily quiet for a while, each minding their business, and nothing happened to either one of them.
Clarissa was content with the achievements and settled down to prepare for labor.
After enduring the scorching summer and the cool autumn, Clarissa’s belly had grown bigger. Just as winter was about to come, the family came together to face the final hurdle of childbirth.
Clarissa’s due date was approaching quickly. Matthew took off from work since Clarissa became pregnant, and he returned to work in the middle few months when Clarissa’s pregnancy became stable. But when she was about to give birth, Matthew took leave from work gain.
Back when Damian was born, Matthew wasn’t always by her side. Therefore, he never actually see Clarissa’s struggle during her pregnancy.
Having personally accompanied her, he truly understood how hard it was for Clarissa to bear a baby. Thus, he decided not to have another baby anymore whether the newborn baby was a son or a daughter.
He truly didn’t want any more children and went for a vasectomy several months ago.
At that time, Clarissa disagreed, but Matthew secretly went for the surgery, and Clarissa wasn’t sure if she should feel angry or touched by his actions.
Now that he has sterilized himself, Clarissa made peace with the outcome and was satisfied with having two children.
In the past few days, she was admitted to a pre-arranged hospital and tended to around the clock, and Matthew stayed with her and made sure she never left his sight.
Clarissa felt helpless due to his restlessness. She had to console her husband even when she was preparing for childbirth.
“Matthew, you don’t have to be so nervous. The doctor says that my body and the baby are in good condition. I have given birth to a child before, so there will be no complications this time. Relax. Your anxiousness is making me and the baby feel nervous. Can’t you learn from Damian? He’s just calmly waiting for his sister to be born. He even prepared gifts for his newborn sister.”
“I’m not nervous.” Matthew smiled apathetically.
“Hmph! I don’t believe that.”
“By the way, when I give birth, you are not allowed to enter the delivery room, do you understand? I won’t allow it.”
