After Calvin sent a message to Anthony, he waited for Gabriel and Luna to finish their meal before he started to clean up the dining table.Natalie tried to help, but he forcefully pushed her away.Left with no other choice, Natalie had to arrange for Gabriel to sit in the living room with Luna.Gabriel and Luna still pretended not to know each other as they walked into the living room and sat down.Gabriel quickly glanced around the entire villa but didn't see his son. Without paying attention to the people nearby, he asked Natalie, "Where's Benjamin? Doesn't he live here with you?"Natalie would no longer shy away from talking about her son in front of so many people with Gabriel.She replied, "He's just not here for the next couple of days. His semester has started, and since the school is close to my parents' house, he often stays there with them."Gabriel hesitated for a moment and then said, "Alright, I'll have him come over and stay with me for a few days."Natalie didn'
Margot met his gaze and refused without hesitation. "I am not going back to that place with you all.""Even if I beg you as your older brother, is it still a no?""Same answer."Margot suddenly stood up and faced away from Calvin."I'm making it clear right now that I will never go to that place again in my entire life, and I will not step into the Morris residence ever again."Calvin, I know you mean well for me, but please don't force me to do things I don't want to. The bloody scenes of how your mother hurt me in the past come back to me every time you all show up."You might never fully understand the feeling of being abused by your biological mother to the point of being disfigured."So don't try to persuade me; I'm not going with you.""Mom knows she was wrong."As he watched Margot's figure in the distance, Calvin's voice grew a bit quieter."And regarding Zyla, the Morris family has removed her from the family registry. It's not just our immediate family; the entire f
At some point, Curtis had come over. Seeing Margot crouching on the ground crying, he hurriedly stepped forward and held her in his arms.He asked softly, "What's wrong?"Margot sobbed and leaned into Curtis' embrace."Curtis, let's go. I don't want to talk to him.""Okay, I'll carry you back."Holding Margot tightly, Curtis faced Calvin and couldn't help but reprimand him."I don't care what you said to her, but if you make her cry again, it's better if you both don't show up anymore."Curtis was really upset when he heard those heart-wrenching cries.Calvin didn't bother anymore and walked away decisively."Margot, I'm sorry..."Calvin shouted, feeling a pang in his heart as he watched Curtis resolutely take her away.Feeling deeply regretful, he turned around and slammed his fist hard on the table in front of him.As Curtis carried Margot through the living room, he glanced at Gabriel."Gabriel, stay with them. I'll take Margot home first.""What's wrong?"Gabriel sto
In the end, there wasn't a single person in sight.Natalie explained, "They just left.""It's still so early. Why has everyone left?"Seeing that Calvin didn't look well, Anthony asked, "Did something unpleasant happen?""Not really, it might be that when Calvin was talking to Margot, he made her feel upset, so she left early."Anthony knew that Margot would not easily forgive them or come home with them.He placed the fresh flowers on the chair and found a spot to sit down. His face was also full of seriousness.Curtis was driving the car back to the Crosby residence.Lena sat in the back, holding Margot and constantly comforting her."If you're feeling upset, don't forgive them. We'll live our lives without them; it might actually be better that way."In fact, Margot really didn't know what she should do.Calvin helped her back then in saving Curtis' life.Anthony took care of her and Lilac.She also longed to have family by her side, with parents to rely on.But she re
Zyla couldn't get forgiveness from Margot and was unhappy when Chester's men chased her away. Royce even intentionally caused a conflict with them.After Zyla fell from her wheelchair and got injured, Royce took her to the hospital and informed the Morris family.Daniel was once again the first to appear at the hospital and by Zyla's bed.When Zyla saw him, she kept crying. "Daniel, I went to beg Margot. I even knelt on the ground to plead with her, but she still wouldn't forgive me. I really tried my best."Daniel stood by the bed with an indifferent and arrogant demeanor as he looked at the person lying there. His face was stern and expressionless, and his voice was cold when he said, "If she won't forgive you, then once you recover, go back to Emeria with Royce and don't come back again."Calvin called him to ask if Zyla had gone to see Margot.He was warned not to let Zyla go to the Crosby residence to bother Margot anymore, and that was when he realized he had made a mistake
Thank goodness that Margot understood him. She didn't want to see him, so she went back to her room first."Do you need us to step out for a moment?" Ashley asked Curtis.Curtis looked at her and said, "There is no need for that, just help me hold him."Soon, the nanny led Daniel inside.Curtis stood up and greeted him, "What brings you here at this time? Have you had your dinner?""I've already eaten," Daniel replied.Daniel noticed it was quiet inside without seeing Margot. There were only the elders and Curtis there. He walked over to greet the elders first before sitting down and looking at Curtis."I am here to talk to you about Zyla today. We asked Zyla to come over and apologize to Margot. She hasn't done anything else to upset Margot, right?"Talking about this, Curtis really got him upset.He impolitely said, "Are you really unaware that Margot feels uneasy every time she sees Zyla? An apology? Do you all think an apology can heal the harm done to Margot's heart?"Da
When Curtis saw her, she was crouched in the bathroom and washing Louis' clothes by hand.He quickly stepped forward to stop her."Why are you doing these things? Sofia and the others will handle the washing.""I'm feeling restless with nothing to do, so I might as well wash something to keep myself busy."She needed to stay busy to keep from overthinking.She refused to simultaneously think about the kindness Calvin and Anthony showed her, while also dwelling on the negativity from her mother.She kept feeling these complicated feelings, making it really difficult for her to decide which way to go.Curtis held her tightly."I'll stay with you, so you won't overthink things. I've talked to them; they won't bother you anymore."You don't need to think about forgiving them. Just focus on doing what you want to do in the future and don't worry about that family.""But Calvin almost sacrificed his own marriage to marry Lena in order to save you. When you were not around, he also
Just tell her not to worry about it, and when the time came, she only needed to show up dressed in her finest.Now that Margot suddenly brought it up, she felt it was important for her to know as well.Calvin, who was seated in front of his laptop, paused his work and looked at the person approaching."Didn't I say you'll understand once I come to pick you up?"Natalie sighed. "I know you want to surprise me, and I promise not to look ahead of time, but you at least have to tell me where it is, right?"Calvin thought that it didn't really matter if he said it or not.Anyway, as the bride, Natalie would eventually get to enjoy that grand wedding celebration.There were only a few days left.He smiled, pulled her onto his lap, and held her close."You'll never guess where it is."Natalie tried to guess it, and said, "In Amberville, if it's not one of the biggest hotels in town, then where could it be?""In my family residence."Calvin explained, "There's a golf course on the
