Chapter 904 Wish You All The Best
However, Jara did not move.
Instead, he took another sip of wine and said, "She won't die."
Yes, that was the only thing he was sure of.
The other party had gone to such lengths to set up a spy ambush. However, he was willing to sacrifice the spy who had been hiding for so long to apprehend Emmeline.
Such a guy, who had gone to such efforts to catch her, would not let her die so easily.
It was also because of this that Jara had the patience to attack the Icarus Association bit by bit.
In fact, he did so because he had already made two preparations.
Firstly, if Emmeline was really not in the hands of the Icarus Association, he would devote all of his effort to destroying them, finding the secret traitor, and tracking down her whereabouts.
If they were lying while Emmeline was still in their hands, the second plan would be implemented.
However, they were hesitant to let her go due to some significant benefits.
Now that he was pushing them step by step, they would have no choice but to let her go in the end.
Both of them were the best options he had right now.
When Clarissa heard his explanation, she became silent as well.
At this moment, she finally understood why Jara insisted on continuing his attack and refusing to negotiate a truce.
That's right. Now that things had progressed to this stage, there might only be one more step before Emmeline could be found. They might instantly hide Emmeline if they were to negotiate.
By then, they wouldn't be able to locate her even if they searched the entire world.
Thinking of this, Clarissa could not help but sigh.
Although she had never met Emmeline before, she assumed that the woman who could make Jara fall in love with her so passionately would be fascinating.
Hence, she also picked up a bottle of wine from the ground, opened it, and knocked it against Jara's.
Then she added, "If that is the case, I won't say anything else. I wish you all the best tomorrow."
Jara gave her a sidelong glance, and his lips curled into a faint smile. After that, he gave her a clink and gulped down the wine in his hand.
The three of them sat in the garden for the night before returning to their rooms.
When Anderson and Clarissa came out this time, they didn't tell their parents the truth.
They didn't want them to be too worried because they had been in poor condition and were recuperating.
As a result, Anderson and Clarissa only told their parents that they were going on a business trip and that they would put the kids in the old house. However, the kids would subsequently be looked after by the servants. As a result, their parents didn't have to spend as much effort watching the kids.
It was already very late when they returned to their rooms.
Because Clarissa went to the garden after taking a bath, she didn't carry her phone with her.
Just as she returned to the room, she noticed that there were many missed calls and messages.
She clicked on the notification and found it was a voice message from Anne.
Anne asked as to what she was up to and why she hadn't called her tonight. Anne also expressed how much she missed her!
Clicking on the voice message, Clarissa listened to it multiple times. She couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard Anne's lovely voice.
However, it was very late, and the kids should have fallen asleep by now.
For fear of waking them up, she didn't reply to Anne. She would only reply once she woke up early tomorrow morning.
Anderson, on the other hand, stared at her phone, her satisfied expression on her face.
The next morning, Clarissa called Anne.
On the phone, she chatted with the two little kids for a while, appeased them, and told them to listen to their grandparents. Besides, she taught Anne two questions. Only then did she hang up the phone.
Of course, the family had the best tutor at home, but Anne still liked to ask Clarissa to teach her.
Anne pretended it was a lecture, but she was actually missing her mother.
Clarissa knew it in her heart, but she didn't expose Anne. Clarissa, on the other hand, was looking forward to her return even more.
She wasn't the same person she had been when she was young. In the past, she wouldn't miss home, even if she stayed outside for a long period.
All she wanted was privacy and freedom. She felt as though she lacked taste in life if she were to stay at home all the time.
But things were different now.
She wasn't sure why either. Perhaps it was because she had been together with Anderson, or maybe it was because the atmosphere at home was too comfortable.
So, she preferred to spend more time at home. Moreover, she could spend an entire day with the kids at home when they didn't have to go to school, and she didn't have to go to work.
And she wouldn't feel bored at all.
This was something that Clarissa didn't dare to imagine before.
Furthermore, Lauren lived close by. She would pay them a visit whenever she had free time. Having multiple children play together made for such a lively scene.
Clarissa sat there, her thoughts whirling around in her head.
Just then, Anderson walked over from behind.
"What are you thinking about?"
He leaned down, rested his hands on the back of the sofa, and asked.
With a smile, Clarissa looked up at him. "I'm thinking about Anne and Marf."
"I only realized that I miss them very much when I came out this time," she said after a little pause.
Upon hearing her words, Anderson raised his brows.
He bypassed her from the other side, sat next to her, and took her into his arms.
"We'll return as soon as we're done here. It isn't going to take long."
Clarissa nodded.
The two of them cuddled. However, on the other hand, at this moment.
Jara had already arrived at the location of the negotiations.
The location in which they opted to negotiate was also crucial.
It couldn't be in Jara's territory, nor could it be in the territory of the Icarus Association.
Otherwise, neither side would be comfortable going, and they would always worry if someone would set up an ambush.
As a result, they settled on a coffeehouse in a little town at the crossroads of the two territories.
The coffeehouse had been cleared long ago, and no one could be seen around the area.
After greeting each other at the door, they entered the coffeehouse and proceeded upstairs.
Nobody expected Skylar to be the person sent by the Icarus Association.
Of course, Jara knew Skylar.
Not only did he know him, but so did Skylar.
After all, as the heads of two organizations, they had fought each other for many rounds in the conflict between Salvation Club and Lost Vanguard.
At this time, they would naturally be unease about meeting each other.
But they had to remember that they had come here to negotiate today, so they couldn't help but force out a smile.
After arriving upstairs, they both motioned for their men to watch the door, and then each took only two men into the room.
However, to one's surprise, Jara did not bring his trusted aide, Quan, with him. Quan did not even show up on the way here.
Those who understood this, of course, didn't dare to question much.
Although Skylar also knew about Quan, he had no idea how vital he was to Jara.
As a result, he didn't notice how odd it was that Jara didn't bring Quan with him.
