Chapter 261 Lauren Went Aboard
This child would be the only gift he gave her!
Lauren didn't say these words. She smiled blandly, and there was a soft and tender expression on her face.
"I've thought about it. I will give birth to him and raise him. No matter what difficulties I will encounter in the future, I will not regret my decision. What's more, even if it will be difficult, I still have you, don't I? You're my child's godmother and you should be the backer of us."
Clarissa was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
She rolled her eyes at Lauren.
"Yes, I'll be your backer, but how should you explain to Uncle Jones? I heard that you moved out of the house because you quarrelled with him. He probably won't allow you to give birth to this child, right?"
Lauren was silent for a moment.
Then, she whispered, "I can't compromise on this matter. Since he refuses to forgive me, I'm no longer his daughter. Anyway... I have nothing to be proud of."
Clarissa felt distressed.
"Lauren."
Lauren forced a smile and raised her head.
"I'm fine, and you don't have to comfort me, really. I have thought about everything clearly during this period of time. The most important thing for me now is to nourish my baby. Many reporters keep an eye on me at home. Although I have made up my mind, I don't want to let the outside world know it, so I will still go abroad in a few days. If you miss me, you can come to see me. After I give birth to him, I will come back."
Clarissa felt so bitter and doleful.
But since Lauren had decided it, she had no choice but to support her.
She got up, walked to Lauren, sat down and held her hand.
"Lauren, wherever you are, don't forget that I will always support you."
Lauren nodded with a smile.
......
Three days later, Lauren left.
That day, Clarissa went to the airport to see her off, and gave her the numbers of a few people she used to be familiar with in F Country. If there was something urgent, she could contact them.
Lauren joked that she sent Clarissa away five years ago, but at this time Clarissa sent her away, which was just like an odd coincidence.
Clarissa could only smile helplessly. She couldn't bear to leave Lauren.
Although she could meet Lauren in F County when she missed her, it was not as convenient as in Visstead, and the secret that Lauren had always refused to tell made her a little worried.
However, Clarissa didn't say these words. She returned to the company after sending Lauren away.
Anderson had gone back to Flaucford, and he sent back Matteo and Anne by the way.
Anne was in poor health and needed to receive regular checkups. Anderson would accompany her every time she had a check-up.
Originally, Clarissa wanted to go back with them, but she needed to cooperate with the case of her mother at any time, so she couldn't leave and could only go back next time.
Freddie, Teddy and others were very happy to learn that she had returned safely.
They didn't believe what Lara had said before, and they had confirmed that their thoughts were not wrong, but they were a little sad when they heard about the death of Clarissa's mother.
But they still had to work as usual.
That night, Freddie had a dinner party at Ladybug Bar and invited Clarissa to go with him.
Those who came to the party were all seniors in the entertainment circle. It was a private party, so not many people came, and it was not a socializing situation.
Since Clarissa worked in this circle, she had to deal with these people.
Freddie hosted this party and invited her, which meant that he was courting her, so she naturally couldn't embarrass him.
At eight o'clock in the evening, people who had dressed up were toasting each other in Ladybug Bar.
The box Freddie booked was on the third floor. There was a hall on the third floor, and outside the hall was a small garden. The scenery was quite good.
In such a party, Clarissa had to drink naturally.
Fortunately, she was good at drinking, so she had no worries.
Those present were all seniors in the circle, and most of them had a good relationship with Freddie.
Originally, they didn't know Clarissa's identity. After this incident, they learned that she was actually Anderson's wife, so they were willing to flatter her.
The atmosphere of the party had been harmonious and enjoyable.
At around eleven o'clock, everyone had drunk a lot.
Clarissa went to the bathroom and suddenly received a call from Anderson when she came out.
His voice was as deep and clear as usual, "What are you doing?"
Clarissa walked to the balcony for a blow and said, "Drinking."
"What?"
Although Clarissa couldn't see him, she knew that he must be frowning because his tone was unhappy.
Anderson didn't like her to attend parties, and he was powerful enough to let her be well-known without participating in any parties.
Clarissa smiled. She couldn't bear to let him worry about her anymore and said, "Freddie held a party, and people who came here are all popular in the entertainment circle, so he let me come here to meet them."
Anderson's voice softened, "How much did you drink?"
"Not much. They are all seniors and didn't let me drink much. Moreover, they showed me respect because of you, so this party is like a bargain to me."
Anderson laughed after listening, "What kind of bargain it is? If you don't want to deal with them, just leave. No one dares to bully you because I am your husband."
He said these words casually, but Clarissa felt extremely warm when she heard that.
She smiled tenderly and nodded, "Okay, I see."
Seeing her being so obedient, Anderson felt more joyful and said in a deep voice, "I will be back tomorrow morning. Will you come to the airport to pick me up?"
Clarissa was taken aback. She didn't expect that he would come back so soon, so she nodded.
They chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up, Clarissa stood in the breeze for a while. Feeling that she was no more drunk, she was about to go back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she looked up, she saw a young man approaching here.
"Anthony? Why are you here?"
Anthony still looked careless and casual, and he raised the glass in his hand at Clarissa.
"There's a party so I came here. Clarissa, you didn't accompany Anderson back to Flaucford. What are you doing here?"
Clarissa smiled, "Only you can attend a party here?"
Anthony touched his nose, "But you have to socialize at all because of Anderson."
Well, he and Anderson said the same words and they were indeed family.
Clarissa glanced at the time and found that it was late, so she didn't want to chat with him anymore.
"Alright, I'm going in. Don't drink too much. Understand?"
Anthony nodded.
Clarissa walked to the box.
At this moment, the door of the next box was pushed open from the inside, and a drunk man staggered out while covering his mouth.
Clarissa was startled. She had just walked to the door of the box when the man went out and bumped into her.
