Chapter 101 He Has A Daughter
Clarissa had never expected that Anderson would take her to meet his friends.
Therefore, when she stepped into the box and saw a few young men sitting there, her mind went blank for a while.
"Hi, you are here!"
Anthony came up to say hello first. When the others saw Clarissa, they were stunned for a moment and then gradually reacted.
They greeted her quickly.
"I have always heard that Anderson has a beautiful wife in Visstead, and I finally saw you today."
"Hello, my name is Marty."
"HI, my name is Abraham Holland."
Clarissa was at a loss.
Facing their enthusiasm, she smiled stiffly and nodded in response.
She pulled the corner of Anderson's clothes secretly, and said in a low voice with a fake smile, "Anderson, why didn't you tell me that we were going to see them?"
She had heard of these young and rich men.
As the descendants of the four most powerful families in Flaucford, they grew up together with Anderson. Their relationship was naturally so good. The most important thing was that each of them was so charming that could make countless women scream crazily.
It was rare for them all to gather here that day.
Anderson smiled slightly and held her hand.
"But you're unwilling to go back to Flaucford and celebrate the Spring Festival with me! I had to ask them to meet you in Visstead."
Clarissa was speechless.
The Spring Festival was only half a month away. Anderson had asked her once if she wanted to go to Flaucford with him.
She refused at the time. Although their relationship became better and better, it was not time for her to meet his families yet.
Hearing his words, although she felt that he was a little naive, she couldn't help but have a sweet feeling in heart.
After all, those people were very important in Anderson's mind.
He specially arranged them to meet her, which meant that he really loved her.
Clarissa smiled, glanced at him, and then pinched his waist quietly.
Anderson felt the pain, and he did not show it, but the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
They sat down again.
Anderson introduced Clarissa to them seriously, and then ordered the waiter to serve the dishes.
With his friends here, Clarissa was rather restrained at first.
But fortunately, they were about the same age, and Marty was good at livening things up. It didn't take long for Clarissa to get acquainted with them.
These men were known as arrogant and lofty, but they were very kind to their friends.
Clarissa had seen Anthony before and knew that he was outgoing. Marty, as the second son of Blaine family, had been researching new AI technology and gave Clarissa a cute little AI toy dog as the gift for their first meeting.
Abraham did not listen to his parents and enter politics, but chose to study medicine. Although he was young, he was a well-known surgeon.
He was steady, not very talkative, and always smiled faintly, giving people a gentle and warm feeling.
They had a happy dinner together.
Halfway through the meal, Clarissa went out to the bathroom, and met Dawson on her way.
As the most outstanding grandchild of the Richardson family, Dawson had always been highly regarded of by Madison.
When he was young, he had a good relationship with Clarissa. But as they grew up, Dawson went to study abroad for a few years, so they became estranged from each other.
Seeing her, Dawson was a little surprised.
"Clarissa, why are you here?"
Clarissa had a good impression of him, so she smiled blandly, "I came here for dinner."
Dawson glanced at the box behind her.
Peony Pavilion.
His eyes darkened.
There was a box in Historic Mountain Resort that had never been open to the public, that was Peony Pavilion.
It was said that someone had booked it for many years. Even though the person was not here, it was not open to the outside world.
He once asked about it accidentally, and knew that the man was Anderson.
Dawson looked at her, "You get along quite well with him."
Clarissa knew whom Dawson was referring to.
Since Madison didn't agree that she was with Anderson, Dawson must know about it, so Clarissa had no intention of talking more with him and just nodded slightly.
"If you have nothing else to say, I'll go in first."
As she said this, she turned and walked towards the box.
After she walked for two steps, Dawson's voice suddenly came from behind.
"He has a daughter. Do you know that?"
Clarissa's steps froze.
She turned her head and looked at Dawson in shock.
Dawson frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, and then said, "I thought that he had told you. But it seems that you don't know about this."
Clarissa did not speak.
Dawson sighed.
"My family keeps in touch with the Levine family in Flaucford, so I can hear some news. It is said that he and Gabriela, the daughter of the Levine family, contracted a form of engagement when they were young. I don't know if Gabriela is the child's mother, but at least their engagement has not been broken off."
"Clarissa, we grew up together. I don't want you to be deceived, and I don't want you to be hurt, so I told you about this matter. As for whether you'll believe me or not, and how you're going to deal with this, decide it yourself! "
After Dawson finished speaking, he left.
Clarissa stood there in a daze, and her mind went blank.
Her face turned pale in an instant.
A chill stole over her body.
She was chilled to the bone, and even her heart became cold!
Did he... have an engagement?
He even had a child?
After a while, the door of Peony Pavilion was opened from inside. Anderson came out and walked to her when he saw her standing in the corridor.
"Why are you standing here?"
After getting close to her, he found that her face didn't look well, and then he frowned.
Reaching out his hand to touch her forehead, he asked with concern, "What's the matter? Are you not feeling well?"
Clarissa stared at him.
His handsome face was full of worry and sincere concern.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt that his concern was so sarcastic.
She shook her head, looked away, and said blandly, "I'm fine."
After that, she turned around and entered the box.
In the next few hours, Anderson felt that Clarissa was obviously a little absent-minded.
She didn't look as happy as before. Instead, she seemed to have something in her mind.
Thinking that she had gone out to the bathroom, he seemed to understand something.
But he said nothing.
After returning home at night, Clarissa went to the bathroom early to take a bath. When she came out, she found that Anderson was in the study, saying that he had something urgent to deal with in the company.
She didn't care about it, and went to bed on her own.
That night, she had a dream.
Many things happened in the dream.
Some of them happened when she was a child, and some of them happened when she was abroad, and there were something vague about Anderson.
Finally, she dreamt of the scene that in the dim corridor, Dawson said those words to her with sympathetic and worried eyes.
Clarissa suddenly woke up.
The sun was shining outside the window, and it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
She was shocked and turned to look at her side. The bed was already empty. The cold temperature reminded her that Anderson had left for a long time.
