Natalie pushed away the two clingy girls beside her and got up, and moved toward Margot."Margot, what are you thinking about?"She was unhappy when she found out that they had arranged the wedding venue at Alice Manor.Natalie reached out and took her hand. She felt a bit guilty. "I'm sorry. I should have asked Calvin earlier and arranged for the venue to be outside."Margot shook her head and smiled faintly."It's all right. Don't feel like you owe me anything. No matter where you decide to hold your wedding, as long as it's your wedding, I'll be there, even if the path is filled with obstacles."Natalie knew that Margot had her own opinions, and gave her a comforting hug.At that moment, Benjamin walked in carrying a plate of fruit and politely said, "Lovely ladies, you must be thirsty after chatting with Mom. Have some fruit to refresh yourselves."Today, many friends and relatives came to visit their house. Benjamin, who had become very withdrawn since losing Lilac, forced
Natalie and Margot exchanged a glance and smiled without saying a word.Luna asked, "Who is it? What instructor? Lena, is it the man you're interested in?"Lena denied it by saying, "What the hell? His child is already five years old! Alright, I give up. I'll get in touch with him, okay?"She took out her phone and went to the balcony to make a call.She was about to make the call when she spotted several luxury cars gradually pulling up around the Nelson residence nearby.Lena was very excited and quickly called out to the few people in the room."The groom has brought the wedding dress for our bride."In their custom, the bride's wedding attire was delivered by the groom's family the day before the wedding. The bride would then wear it the next day when she left with the groom.That meant she was getting married.Luna and Margot hurried to the balcony to take a look.They were in an excellent spot so they could see the entire garden in front of the Nelson residence.The pe
"I have a list here that was made by the bride-to-be and her bridesmaids. They said that if you want to marry the beautiful bride, you have to complete all the tasks. If the tasks are not completed, you can't reach the bride."A group of Calvin' cousins, along with the groomsmen and bridesmaids, were making a commotion behind him."What tasks are those? List them all out.""Is there any task we can't complete?""We are definitely planning to get Natalie."Curtis handed the list to Calvin.Calvin took it and looked at it.There were a dozen or so tasks in total.There was a test to see how well the groom knew the bride.There were also activities like exercising, solving riddles, and playing small games.After the groom's side saw it, they said it was a piece of cake.Then a group of people started completing the tasks listed one by one.Curtis and his group of relatives were standing nearby, watching and gloating.Margot and Lena were standing on the balcony, and they coul
Margot smiled and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from Natalie's eyes."It's too late for regrets now, they're already at the door. Just accept your fate, Natalie, you are now officially my sister-in-law.""Alas! There's no other choice, I really just have to resign myself to fate."Natalie laughed and looked out the nearby window. "Do you want to go down and check it out too? It seems pretty lively."Margot heard a lot of noise coming from downstairs and thought about going to check it out, but she couldn't bear to leave Natalie alone in the room."How about the two of us secretly hide behind the curtains and take a peek?" she suggested.Natalie frowned. "Is it really okay? They told me it’s better if I don’t show up and watch the excitement. I should wait for the groom to come to me after overcoming all the challenges. This way, my husband will listen to me in the future."Margot clicked her tongue twice, shook her head helplessly, and got up to walk away."Then you st
"Huh? Who knows about traditional medicine?""There are so many types of medicine in the world. How can anyone guess which one?""We all don't understand traditional medicine. This is too difficult!""Hey pretty girl, can you change it to another one? We have no idea about this one."Anthony stayed silent, staring at Lena while trying to recall what he knew about medicine.Daniel was also thinking nearby.But none of them could think of it, when suddenly someone in the crowd said, "This item grows in the mountains and forests, specifically for treating sores and wounds. It has a peculiar shape and is called Asarum sagittarioides."Upon hearing the news, everyone turned their attention to it.Lena was stunned and also looked over.In the crowd, people began to make way.Branden gracefully led Sabrina along.Ignoring everyone's gaze, Branden smiled and asked Lena, "Young lady, did I guess correctly?"Lena was very surprised.Her instructor actually guessed it right.He was
He didn't think much of it and continued to take charge.After taking Sabrina back to Natalie's room, Margot smiled and said, "Natalie, you don't know how badly Calvin was tormented by Curtis and his group downstairs. Did you hear him reading the pledge just now?"Natalie nodded. "I heard it, he sounded so loud.""Exactly. If he doesn't follow through on what he promised, he'll lose credibility. Let's see how he can still gain people's trust then."Margot brought Sabrina over to Natalie and said, "Look at our bride, isn't she beautiful?"Sabrina touched the wedding gown that Natalie was wearing, smiled sweetly, and nodded. "It looks nice. Aunt Natalie is especially beautiful today.""You're such a sweet talker. Tomorrow you're going to be my little flower girl, are you nervous?"Sabrina shook her head. "Not nervous. By the way, where is Benjamin? Why haven't I seen him?""He was asking about you just now. He should be downstairs at the moment."Holding the child's hand, Natali
Anthony asked, "Can you open the door now?""No way, we have ten people here and so we need more gifts."Anthony gave more.Lena then delegated the gifts to the others.After everyone received their share, she stood by the door and said, "The groom, step forward and answer a question."Calvin said, "I'm here."Luna asked, "Question one, why do you want to marry Natalie?""To enjoy a good life with her.""How many children do you want your future wife to have?"After a short pause, Calvin responded, "She can have as many children as she wants, or none at all; it doesn't matter to me. My son is already ten years old, after all."Upon hearing this, the bridesmaids felt quite envious.However, standing at the door, Gabriel felt displeased.He raised his hand, pinched Calvin's waist, and whispered a warning in his ear."That's my son."Calvin ignored him.In the room, Margot stood near the door and asked, "After you get married, are you planning to settle down in Emeria or Am
In the crowded room, as everyone's eyes were on Natalie and Calvin, Curtis made his way through the crowd and stood behind Margot to hug her.He rested his chin on her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Are you feeling envious?"He noticed that Margot's eyelashes were a bit damp; probably touched by Natalie's wedding.Curtis thought, "Sweet girl, why do you get emotional about other people's weddings?"Suddenly, someone hugged her from behind. Margot turned her head.She recognized it was Curtis and, feeling a little embarrassed, gave his hand a gentle pull.She said, "Don't do that, there are so many people around.""What's wrong with me hugging my wife?""Today is a big day for Natalie and Calvin. Don't steal the spotlight."Margot ended up pulling Curtis' hand away.Curtis, feeling a bit helpless, whispered in her ear, "Don't be envious. We'll have it too someday."He would make up for everything he owed Margot, and it would be even more grandiose than what Natalie had r
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
