Chapter 485 Her Water Broke
"It's getting late. I have to go."
With these words, Leonardo stood up and was about to leave.
Marty grabbed hold of him.
"Hey, why are you leaving? You'll be alone at home, hugging yourself and crying. Can you man up? It's just a woman. You could never progress unless you leave the past behind!"
After he finished speaking, Marty winked at Anderson. "Anderson, am I right?"
Unexpectedly, Anderson only replied with an expressionless face, "I don't have anyone else. I only have one."
After that, he took Clarissa into his arms as if she was his prized possession.
Leonardo's heart sank.
How was this comforting? This was practically shoving their romance in his face!
Weren't they afraid of karma for being lovey-dovey in front of someone who had just fallen out of love?
Leonardo was so angry that he was about to get up with a cold face.
Marty hurriedly held him down when he saw this.
"It's not a life and death situation, okay? If you can't really move on, then go steal your ex-girlfriend back!"
Leonardo glared daggers at him. "She's already married. There's no way I could do that. Do you think everyone is like a bully like you?"
Marty was not angry even after he was being chided. Instead, he touched his chin and said with a smile, "So what? You still can get a divorce after you are married!"
As he spoke, he poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then continued to say, "Let me analyze it for you. You see, they are united by a transnational marriage. Your ex-girlfriend didn't have experience abroad. So she must experience a lot of culture shock there moving to a completely foreign place.
You should take this opportunity, putting your best self forward. It's best for you to do something to make her reminisce about your high school memories. After all, you're her first love and you've been in love for so many years. It's impossible to say that she has no feelings left for you."
Isn't there still a saying? As long as you place enough efforts, there's nothing that will be out of your reach. You could slowly break her guards down, and then steal her away directly, am I right?"
Leonardo glared at him once more.
"Marty, can't you say something nice to comfort me? How can I steal someone's wife? Only bandits like you can do it!"
Anderson sneered.
"So this is the reason why you haven't found a wife until now."
As he said this, he pulled Clarissa into a tighter hug with great pride. Anderson looked like he was declaring his sovereignty, which made him look so self-conceited and especially vindictive.
Clarissa rolled her eyes.
Marty clapped his hands and laughed. "Yes, Anderson finally said something fair."
It must be known that if he hadn't been quick enough, he would not have been able to take Clarissa away from Elliot.
Otherwise, who knew who Clarissa would be with judging for how popular she was.
Leonardo said through his gritted teeth, "Anderson, don't be too complacent! I see that this little girl is simply deceived by you because she is still young and innocent. Be careful that she will come to her senses one day. Don't come crying with me at that time!"
Anderson snorted coldly. "You're overthinking. The two of us have already signed a lifetime contract to be with each other. No one can separate the two of us. Am I right, dear?"
Clarissa pursed her lip and smiled as she nodded.
Leonardo suddenly became even angrier and howled, "Who asked them to come here? They're making a scene here! Hurry up and kick them out!"
Seeing him like this, even Aidan, who had been silent all this while, couldn't help but laugh.
However, after such a farce, Leonardo slowly recovered from his break up.
His mood seemed to have lifted a little bit.
Seeing that he seemed to be in a better mood, they did not twist the knife in the wound anymore and dwell on this matter any further.
After all, he could only be his own savior when it came to relationships. He could only digest it by himself. The rest could only comfort him.
It was common for couples to be separated from each other. When they were together, they should cherish each other. If they were not together, it could only be said that they were destined not to be together.
However, no one would really have the heart to break a loving couple up.
Marty saw that Leonardo was a little disheartened, so he poured a cup of tea and said, "Okay, in that case, let's not talk about those sad things. Today is my father's birthday. Let's drink together. I hope everyone can be happy and everything will go as your wish!"
His words made everyone burst into laughter.
The clouds of sorrow in Leonardo's heart dissipated a little, so he raised his cup.
The crisp sound of the cups clinking against each other could be heard as everyone drank the tea in their cups.
The group of people didn't stay too long in the tearoom.
After all, although the banquet was over, there were still many guests that hadn't left.
As the hosts, the Blaine brothers couldn't stay away from the hall for too long.
Leonardo also needed a little space for himself to be quiet for a while, so they all said goodbye and left.
Clarissa's child happened to be born in the summer.
Originally, there were still a few days before the estimated baby due date. Clarissa didn't like the smell of the hospital. Even if she booked a high class ward, she still felt uncomfortable living there, so she didn't go to the hospital in advance at that time.
Instead, she had been staying at home and would only move in when it was two or three days away from the estimated due date.
But Clarissa didn't expect that she would give birth half a month earlier than she expected.
On that morning, she was in so much pain that she was sweating profusely. Noticing that she didn't seem right, Anderson immediately called the doctor and got up to send her to the hospital.
As soon as they entered the hospital, the doctor found out after checking that her water had broken.
They didn't know when it was broken. The situation was critical, so he had no time to think about it. The original plan to have natural childbirth had been completely disrupted, and now he could only perform a Caesarean section to deliver the baby.
Anderson's face was so tense and seemed to be very upset.
On the other hand, Clarissa was quite calm. Although she was in so much pain, she knew what was going on. She asked Anderson to sign the surgical consent form.
Then she asked him to send someone home to gather things needed for after the delivery of the baby.
Anderson responded to her one by one. Seeing her pale face from the pain, his heart ached for her.
Clarissa also reminded him not to tell her grandma the truth and just told her that she had a stomachache in the morning and was going to give birth in advance.
If they knew her water was broke, they would definitely worry about it.
Anderson kept a straight face on as he listened to her carefully.
After doing all this, she asked someone to push her into the delivery room.
Cesarean section would have a higher requirement towards the environment than natural childbirth, which meant family members were not allowed to enter.
Therefore, Anderson could only wait outside.
Soon, the members of the Jordan family arrived. A group of people was in a hurry. Even Old Master Jordan and Old Madam Jordan, who was walking slowly usually, were suddenly light on their feet.
As soon as they arrived, they immediately asked, "How's it going? How's the situation now?"
Anderson said in a deep voice, "She was just pushed into the delivery room."
"Why did she suddenly deliver the baby earlier? Didn't everything go well during her prenatal care appointment?" Old Master Jordan said anxiously.
Old Madam Jordan rolled her eyes at him. "How would he know? Women can't choose when to give birth."
