Since Zyla was already part of the Morris family, Margot decided not to join in.If Zyla didn't tell her about what happened in the past, she would still be kept in the dark and deceived by everyone.Someone who truly cared for her would never erase her memory and make her live with someone who had hurt her before.None of them had ever experienced the suffering she went through.No matter what they thought, she was determined never to acknowledge that woman as her mother in this lifetime.Curtis knew that Margot was feeling upset, so he hugged her tightly."Alright, I will support you in whatever you do and stand by your side."Anthony almost caused serious harm to Margot. Calvin was biased in favor of Zyla. As for Daniel, he hardly ever paid attention to Margot.To Margot, it didn't matter whether she acknowledged that family or not.From now on, he would be Margot's only support. Nobody could even think about taking her away."Curtis, you must be really tired. Let's go to
Seeing that Margot was here, Curtis finally breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand.He said, "No worries, go ahead and get cleaned up."He was so scared that he thought he was dreaming.Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.Lying back on the bed and reflecting on the past days, Curtis let out a sigh. Every single day had been filled with anxiety, but thankfully, the tough times were finally over.Margot quickly rinsed her mouth and wiped her lips, then ran out and climbed onto the bed, getting close to the man who still wanted to sleep."Did you sleep well last night? Do you want to sleep a bit more? I'll go downstairs and see if breakfast is ready and bring it up for you."She got up and first checked on her child.Seeing that the child was asleep next to the grandmother and hadn't woken up, she quietly left and went back to wash up.It seemed like lately no one had been getting enough rest. Except for the nanny at home, the elders and Lena hadn't gotten up yet.Curtis
Margot knew that this was not the right time to provoke Curtis.He still had important matters to attend to.She helped him button up his shirt, put on trousers, tuck his shirt in, and finally put a gray vest on him.Then, she stood beside while admiring him with satisfaction."You look young like this."Especially after he shaved his stubble, his short hair styled casually, along with his angular face, made him look incredibly handsome.Curtis frowned frustratedly."Seriously? Do you mean I usually look old?"Margot smiled and said, "Well, aren't you old when compared to me?"Curtis couldn't help but raise his hand to pinch her slightly chubby cheeks. "Yes, to someone like you, I really am old."Gosh, at this moment, he truly felt a bit ashamed.He was so scared that someday he might leave this world before Margot. What would Margot do without anyone to keep her company?In the future, he planned to work hard on staying fit and keeping a young mindset. Even if they couldn'
Calvin stood up to greet him and said, "We know Margot doesn't want to meet Mom and Dad, so we specially brought their regards to return the gift."Calvin then handed the gift list to Curtis. "Take a look."Curtis didn't take the list. He glanced once more at the piles of gift boxes filling the entire living room, then looked at Daniel and Anthony. His expression wasn't very pleasant.He pretty much knew what they intended to do now."There's no need to reciprocate with these. Since I have used those items as engagement gifts for the Morris family, they are now yours. I have no precedent of accepting return gifts. Please take them back."Daniel said, "Curtis, my brother means that these should count as Margot's wedding gifts. Since you've already accepted them, it’s time to set a good date and give Margot a proper and grand wedding."Curtis replied, "I naturally wouldn't miss Margot's wedding, but I need to discuss the exact timing with her. As for the wedding gift… I won't accep
"If you find it too troublesome or don't have time to organize it, we can help you, or you can arrange to hold it on the same day as Natalie and me."Curtis declined."This is a matter between Margot and me, so there's no need for you to worry about it. Since you insist on returning the things I sent over, I will put all those things under Margot's name."He didn't look at the list, nor did he know what else the Morris family had returned, aside from the engagement gifts he had sent.He thought to himself that if Margot didn't want it, he would return it."We're leaving. Take good care of Margot and the child."Knowing that Margot did not want to see them, Calvin signaled for his two brothers to leave. He didn't want to make things difficult for Curtis.Despite their reluctance, Daniel and Anthony eventually had no choice but to follow along.Curtis saw them out the door."You traveled all this way so I really should be hosting you well. However, today isn't the best time for
After everything had finally settled down, Curtis didn't want to leave her side for a single moment.Otherwise, he would always feel uneasy and worry that her condition might relapse.He could only be rest assured going to work after spending some time with her to make sure she was alright.Margot was deeply moved.It seemed like Curtis had changed a lot.He was much better now compared to the first six months of their marriage.She was quite happy to have him by her side all the time, so she didn't urge him to go to work.As they came downstairs with Louis, Lena happened to be coming down as well. They all went to the dining room and sat down.At this moment, there were five people in the Crosby residence, along with a baby in swaddling clothes and two nannies.There weren't even any bodyguards or gardeners left.The staff who used to live in the Crosby residence and were reluctant to leave all moved out after the Crosby family had an incident.Only occasionally during holi
Curtis looked at Gabriel and noticed how he was staring intently at Natalie, who was smiling and walking toward them. Feeling a mix of emotions, he sympathetically patted his friend's shoulder and said, "Stop looking, she's already someone else's wife."Gabriel finally came to his senses and looked away.He was feeling down, so he came over to spend time with Curt.He did not expect to meet his ex-wife here.Originally, he was fine with seeing her, but thinking about her getting married to Calvin soon made him feel quite upset."Curt, do you think I'm a failure? I'm already middle-aged, my family is a mess, and my ex-wife and son are with someone else."As he spoke, a hint of sorrow appeared in his eyes.Curtis felt very sympathetic toward Gabriel's situation and tried to comfort them by saying, "You can't say it like that. At least you still have something to offer. It's just that you're unwilling to let go of the past and stubbornly believe she'll come back."Gabriel, let her
Gabriel denied it, and said, "I told you, I've moved on.""Stop always focusing on what others are doing, Gabriel. That person is now married, and as the saying goes, a friend's wife is off-limits. Don't do anything foolish."Gabriel was really annoyed and stopped in his tracks to glare at Curtis."Are you done yet? Even if I wanted to, do you think she would go along with it? Natalie isn't that kind of person."Curtis teased him. "What if she's willing? Would you be a homewrecker then?"Gabriel suddenly fell silent, his eyes flickering.Being a homewrecker even when he knew the situation?He definitely would not refuse it if Natalie was willing.But...Natalie, who had always been rational, wouldn't agree to it.There was a hint of sadness in his eyes again. Even though he knew Natalie well, he adjusted his mindset and walked toward her.Curtis shook his head helplessly and followed behind.Natalie didn't expect to see Gabriel here.While she was taking pictures with Marg
