Besides, he didn't think he was inferior to Gabriel.It was just that he would get a little jealous. It seemed like he needed to learn how to deal with it.Natalie suddenly realized something. She moved closer to him, and laughed while leaning on his shoulder."What are you thinking? Actually, ever since you found out that Gabriel and I spent the night at the Crosby residence, you've had thoughts about it, haven't you?"Calvin remained silent."Fool, you don't even know that even if Gabriel were standing right in front of me now, all I could think about would still be you."Cal, I'm telling you, it's okay for you to have your own thoughts, but you cannot doubt my loyalty to you, otherwise I'll get upset."She had already moved on from Gabriel.Natalie would introduce her friend to Gabriel because she admired him and often begged Natalie to act as a go-between.Otherwise, why would she even care?Calvin realized he was wrong and embraced Natalie."I don't have any doubts; I k
ThePrincess: "Let me guess, after you saw my photos, you're interested in me now."They were all adults, and she didn't like to beat around the bush.After a long time of persuasion, she finally got Natalie to give her Gabriel's number. She naturally needed to act quickly.Gabriel: "No."ThePrincess: "Mr. Sawyer, you are so straightforward. Actually, I'm not interested in you either."Gabriel was speechless.Was this person playing hard to get?If it wasn't for Natalie saying she was nice, he wouldn't have even bothered adding her.Gabriel really had no interest in chatting with a stranger, so he coldly deleted her.When Luna finished editing the text and sent it to him, she found that he had removed her.She was instantly hit with an immense blow, but she wasn't ready to give up and tried to text Gabriel back.Gabriel was already sitting on the bed. When he saw that the woman who wasn't interested in him added him back again, he couldn't be bothered to care.As the respect
Gabriel's entire perspective on life was completely shattered.What a temporary partnership, what a legitimate surrogacy arrangement.So there were still marriage arrangements like this nowadays.Only a reckless and carefree woman could do something so irresponsible to herself.So why would Natalie say Luna was a nice girl?"You're at this age and have seen it all. There's no way you're afraid of losing a bet, right?"Luna knew men well, especially those like Gabriel who stood at the top of the pyramid, looking down on others with pride and never considering outsiders.What he couldn't stand the most was being looked down upon by others.Sure enough, Gabriel was truly provoked by her words.It would be embarrassing for him to back down.With a cold snort, he said, "I still love my ex-wife. Is Ms. Maxwell okay with that?""Your ex-wife has already married someone else. No matter how much you love her, she's not yours anymore. Besides, I just want to have a child legally; I do
Seeing her from such a close distance, Gabriel couldn't deny that she looked quite attractive.It was just that...He knew that people from the entertainment industry were quite complicated.But when he thought about it, he realized that he was not that nice of a person either. Getting married and having a kid wasn't such a big deal, so why should he care so much?The main thing was, he didn't have to be responsible for her, nor did he have to invest any emotions in her.This person was introduced to him by Natalie.Gabriel glanced at his wristwatch to check the time and then spoke, "Let's go, I have to get back to work after this, so let's not waste any time."Without giving Luna another glance, he strode up the steps toward the courthouse building.Luna looked at his back while a faint smile played on her lips. She looked gorgeous and enchanting.She liked men who were straightforward and got things done efficiently.Remembering that Natalie and the others were still waitin
She told Margot, "Yes, it's Luna."She then stood up and greeted the approaching person with a smile.Luna quickly took off her sunglasses and approached Natalie with an apologetic expression on her face.She said, "Sorry, boss. I got held up by something this morning and ended up being late again. You won't be mad at me, right?"Natalie looked helpless."Even though I'm your boss, as the distinguished eldest daughter of the Maxwell family, who would dare to blame me? Come over here, and let me introduce you to a few people."When they saw Natalie bringing someone over, everyone stood up.Calvin, Curtis, Margot, and Lena were all here.There were quite a few crew members who came along with them, but they didn't dine here and stayed off to the side.Natalie brought the person over, and even before she could say anything, Luna's gaze landed on Margot and, with a friendly smile, said, "Boss, hold on, this must be Mrs. Crosby. Wow, she looks so young and beautiful. If my boss had
Margot asked again, feeling genuinely curious.After all, this person was someone Natalie wanted to introduce to Gabriel.It was clear that she was quite proactive, but she wasn't sure if Gabriel would be difficult to handle.Luna almost choked on her food.She gave a forced laugh and said, "It's okay, but I think he's a bit cold. No worries though, I actually enjoy going after difficult men like that."Looking at Natalie, Luna said, "Boss, later could you tell me all the strengths and weaknesses of Mr. Sawyer? Knowing both yourself and your opponent is the key to success."Natalie found it quite amusing and a bit exasperating. "You must have already memorized all the information about the person from the internet, right? Do you even need me to tell you?"Luna had repeatedly asked her to give Gabriel's contact details.It wasn't that she refused to give in the past.People like Gabriel, with their status, couldn't have their numbers given out casually.Especially Luna, who wa
Margot had to stay home to take care of Louis, so she let the group know that she wouldn't be going out.Natalie knew that Luna was feeling a bit upset because of what happened between her and Gabriel, so she decided not to go out and stayed home to keep her husband company.In the end, it was Lena who followed Luna out.As for where they went and how they had fun, well, it was all up to them.Curtis came back at 1 a.m.He really didn't drink any beer and went straight to his room as soon as he got back.Seeing Margot holding Louis and sleeping together, he quickly changed into his sleepwear and got into bed.Since Margot had Louis, she had had light sleep. When she heard a noise, she opened her eyes and saw Curtis quietly lying down beside her.She asked, "Why are you back so early? Did Mr. Sawyer not get drunk today, so you didn't have to take care of him?"Curtis kissed his sleeping son in the middle, then leaned over and kissed Margot.He said, "Gabriel is in a good mood
They owed Margot far too much and absolutely could not let her down again."Leave now, you are no longer a member of this family, and you are no longer considered a daughter of the Morris family."Daniel did not want to stay here and watch her looking so pitiful, which would only soften his heart. He then went inside the house."No, Daniel..."Zyla was still crying and shouting, and she was terrified of being turned away again. In her agitation, she quickly got up and rushed toward Daniel.Her legs hadn't fully recovered yet, so when she stood up, she lost her balance, falling straight to the ground.Royce saw that she was about to fall but intentionally didn't help her.Once she had fallen to the ground, he pretended to be too late to help her up."Zyla, are you okay?"Zyla lay on the ground, and her legs hurt.Thinking about what she had to accomplish, she began to cry out to the figure of Daniel."Daniel, please, I'm begging you. Let me see Mom and Dad. I really miss them
Curtis didn't argue with her, and instead, he took her hand and led her inside.Margot noticed that despite Curtis' stern demeanor, he still showed care for her through his actions. She smiled knowingly and playfully asked while walking beside him, "What, can't find me at certain times and you're worried I ran off with someone else?"Curtis glanced at her and scoffed."Would you dare? If you dare run off with someone else, I'll break your legs."Despite speaking harsh words, the expression on the face and the gaze in the eyes directed at Margot were so gentle, it seemed as if they could bring forth tears.Margot listened to his violent words and stared at him, "Say it again, whose legs are you going to break?"Curtis was standing there. Although he still had a bit of presence, his facial expression already showed defeat.Before he could try to please his wife again, Margot had already brushed past him and slipped through the mansion's front doors.While running, he shouted, "An
So Gabriel had to personally drive her wherever she needed to go.Curtis listened to the two people and narrowed his eyes again."Who else?""Anthony."Anthony?Curtis was momentarily taken aback.Then, he saw Anthony coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a plate, and walking into the dining room.He set down his coat and told Luna, "You sit, I'll go help.""Go ahead."Curtis followed into the kitchen and saw that Anthony and Gabriel were acting as if they were in their own home, helping themselves to whatever they wanted to eat and making it themselves.He also felt a bit embarrassed and walked over, saying, "It's not right to have you cook since you're visiting, let me do it instead."Gabriel glanced at him and said, "We all treat you like one of us, so why are you being so formal with us?"Anthony responded, "I'm making it for my wife, after all, she only eats the food that I make."Curtis shook his head helplessly.They were showing off their relatio
Margot and Lena turned their heads at the same time.Jordan was dressed in a British-style uniform with a backpack. At eight years old, he stood around four feet tall. His smile was like a little ray of sunshine and could really brighten anyone's day.He shouted, "Mom, Aunt Lena, did you come specifically to pick me up?"Every time Margot heard Jordan call her "mom," it filled her heart with warmth.She raised her hand to give him a hug, gently ruffled his hair, and said, "Of course I'm here to pick you up, get in the car.""It's been a month since I last saw you, and you've grown taller."Lena pulled Jordan onto the vehicle and started driving.Sitting in the car, Jordan couldn't help but smile as he looked at his senior.Lena looked at him and smiled, "Living here, how does it compare to being up in the mountains?"Jordan's eyes landed on Margot, filled with warmth and joy."Wherever my mom and dad are, I feel is the best place. Of course, I'm not saying that being with Mas
Margot greeted them with a smile, saying, "I thought you two would be quietly enjoying your romantic time at the estate. I didn't expect you'd come over to see us!"Lena reached out and gently pinched Louis' round cheeks, then looked at Margot and said, "You keep saying that, but you're not working, so why don't you come visit us?""I'm at home taking care of the kids. You have no idea how challenging it is.""Heh, you're just unfairly blaming Louis. Our little Louis is clearly very well-behaved."Lena ignored Margot and couldn't help but give Louis a couple of kisses after picking him up.Anthony walked over and asked, "Where is everyone else?"Margot motioned for them to come over and sit down, then poured them some water."Natalie just had her baby not long ago, and my in-laws went with Natalie's parents and the others to visit the babies, and they're also going to visit Dad."Whenever Anthony talked about his oblivious elderly father, he got frustrated.He didn't ask any m
Frederick, exuding the presence of the head of the family, welcomed the arriving in-laws with a smile.Afterwards, he behaved well and didn't mention anything about Yasmine, nor did he cause any trouble with his sons.The in-laws were very careful not to mention Frederick's injury, as they didn't want to hurt his pride.Daniel saw how lively it was at home and decided to bring Ena's mother over so that the in-laws could take the opportunity to get to know each other better.In the days that followed, everyone got along very well.In Amberville, Alice Manor.Anthony and Lena were enjoying a peaceful and romantic time together here. No one was bothering them, and they were not going out to work.The two of them spent the entire day cozied up at home.It involved either snacking while watching a movie or playing games followed by some cuddling and kissing.Anthony often made delicious food for Lena and took care of her so well that she seemed completely pampered.This caused Len
"If you won't let me bring her into the family, fine, I'll set up a large estate elsewhere. When the time comes, I won't let you in either."Daniel felt that his father was quite childish.He chuckled and said, "How about this, once the guests leave, I'll take you back to Yasmine. Then you can tell her that you've cut all ties with us and you want nothing. At that point, Yasmine is still willing to stay by your side and take care of you, then we'll do as you wish. How about that?Regarding the greedy Coran siblings, it was important to know that their father didn't have anything valuable left on him, and they wouldn't gain any benefits either.It would be surprising if she still stayed by Frederick's side."Don't underestimate people; Yasmine's love for me is genuine."Frederick didn't want to bet with Daniel.Human nature was something that shouldn't be gambled on.Daniel laughed again. "Are you afraid of losing, Dad?"Frederick stared at Daniel and said, "When have I ever be
Yasmine was not happy when she heard she would be left alone.She knelt beside Frederick, holding his hand and pleading desperately, "Frederick, you can't do this. You can't leave me here alone. If you leave, they'll treat me badly again, just like before. Can you take me with you? Even if it's just to be your nanny, I'm begging you!"Frederick could not stand seeing women cry.When Yasmine pleaded like that, he softened and turned to look at Daniel.Daniel, with a blank expression, said, "Dad, do you really want your in-laws to see you like this?"Frederick also looked upset and said in a serious tone:"Couldn't you say she's my nanny? Who would know?""We have kids at home, do they lie?"Frederick had no choice but to turn to Yasmine and said, "Just stay here. They won’t dare bother you again. I'm leaving now."He raised his hand to signal Daniel to push the wheelchair.Daniel pushed the wheelchair forward.However, Yasmine was unwilling and tried to stop it again.The he
"Are we supposed to live here for the rest of our lives? Even if we have to stay here, at least give us the freedom to come and go as we please."Look at how they've sent so many people to watch over us again, clearly treating us like prisoners."Noticing that Frederick's expression was starting to soften, Yasmine continued to stoke the fire."Tell me, is there any way sons should be treating their father like this? They just want to drive you to your limits so they can split up your assets. Frederick, you can't let them have their way, or else you'll spend your whole life working tirelessly for them only to end up in such a miserable situation. How pitiable that would be.Frederick was speechless.He didn't want to go back. But if he did, his sons would have to treat him with great respect.He hoped that Calvin would bring the military seal, and it had been two days now, yet they still hadn't delivered it to him.Was he really planning on not giving it to him?As soon as he th
She ignored him, and Tommy didn't take the initiative to talk to her either to avoid making her overthink.After sitting in the living room for a while, he waited for all the members of the Crosby family to come downstairs. Once they did, he followed them to the dining room for a meal.As soon as Tommy arrived, Laura put down her fork, got up, and without looking back, said, "Enjoy your meal, I'm heading to the university.""Heading out so early?" Ashley asked.However, she didn't respond and slipped out the door directly.Elias said, "There's an exam coming up, so she's been very focused. She goes in early every day."Curtis and the others didn't seem to mind and invited Tommy to sit down.Only Margot knew why Laura walked so quickly.It was because Tommy was here.Laura had a crush on this big celebrity, and since she couldn't be with him, it was naturally difficult for her to interact with him further.So it was completely understandable that she avoided him whenever she s
