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
If they had truly loved each other, they would wish each other the best.Gabriel felt incredibly touched when he heard Natalie expressing her concern for him.He nodded with red eyes."Okay, sure. I'll make an effort to find a woman who is right for me to marry."Natalie saw that he was finally willing to let go, and smiled while opening her arms wide.She said, "Well then... let's have a hug. Let go of the past and if we meet again in the future, let's just be friends."Gabriel was surprised. As he stepped forward to hug her, tears rolled down his cheeks.He knew that Natalie truly considered him a friend, which was why she was so open and straightforward.From now on, he would no longer have any unrealistic ambitions.He would give her his blessing to be with Calvin.He would also agree to go on blind dates arranged by his parents.Gabriel wiped away the tears from his eyes, then willingly let go of the woman in his arms and smiled at her."Go back and tell your husband t
"Natalie, did you know? Lena's instructor is Sabrina's father, Branden."Natalie was surprised. "Your instructor is Branden?"Lena nodded."What are the chances?""I don't know either, but it's not like I have a crush on the instructor. He already has a five-year-old kid. Could you all stop teasing me, please?Besides, I am still young and need to focus on my studies. Those men are either seven or eight years older than me, or even more than ten years older.I'm going to the university to find some young and attractive guys, ideally around my age, so there won't be any generation gap."Anthony was a jerk. He was not just overbearing and arrogant, but also a male chauvinist, insisting that she did everything his way.She would not simply obey him; after she went to university, she would find her ideal partner on her own.......In the kitchen, Curtis watched the energetic and bustling Gabriel with a mix of amusement and exasperation."Gabriel, it's still early. If you're hung
Anthony didn't want to argue with Lena.The fact that Margot could wake up was due to his effective hypnosis technique.The reason why she remembered everything and didn't forget the painful moments might be because he made a mistake."I don't want to bring this up again," Anthony said, and added, "Everything is fine now, so please don't be upset with me because of this. I'll drive over to the Crosby residence to pick you up shortly, and then we can go out to eat something delicious."Even though he didn't complete the task Regina assigned him, she couldn't stop him from being with Lena.He should actively seek his own happiness rather than leaving everything up to the other person.Given Lena's personality, if he didn't take the initiative to reach out to her, she probably would never think of reaching out to him on her own."I'm not going."Lena was stubborn, and she said, "Even if Margot is better now, it doesn't change the selfishness deep inside you. You used Margot's life
