"I'm sorry, Darling. I'll make it up to you when you get back," Curtis apologized.He quickly softened his tone and admitted his mistake. Margot had Calvin and Anthony's backing, so he didn't dare to cross her.Margot went along and said, "You'll have to sleep on the couch.""Alright, alright. I'll sleep on the couch." Curtis then thought of something and asked, "Now that everyone knows about it, what's Calvin's take on it?""What else could he say? The one having the hardest time is Anthony. This time, he and Lena are completely over. They probably won't ever get together in this lifetime," Margot lamented.Curtis fell silent.Lena was Royce's sister, which meant that a future with Anthony would be impossible.Unless… the dead could come back to life."Margot, do you miss our son? I'll come pick you up in a couple of days." Curtis noticed that Margot was feeling down, so he changed the subject.How could Margot not miss Louis? She missed him so much she was about to cry.She
Gabriel was making soup when he heard Curtis' questioning voice. He turned to look back. Instead of answering the question, he asked, "Is something wrong?""Calvin isn't home. Is it appropriate for you to cook for his wife at his place?" Curtis asked.Gabriel turned down the heat and faced Curtis. "I'm not doing this for Calvin's wife. I'm doing it for my son. Also, I'm not the only outsider in this house. Luna is here too."Benjamin had recently been staying here with Natalie, and Luna was also here. He was invited to come over since they happened to be around.Gabriel was well aware that he should keep his distance if Benjamin and Luna weren't around."Even so, if I were Calvin, I would still mind this a lot." Curtis expressed how he felt.If Margot had an ex-husband who kept popping up now and then, he would probably be furious. Sometimes, he genuinely admired the open-mindedness of Gabriel and Calvin.Gabriel sneered and said sarcastically, "If you can't stand me staying h
Margot walked over and sat down next to Laura. Then, she looked at Lena and asked, "Are you okay?"Lena nodded.Margot added, "I'm glad you're okay. So, are you still coming back to Amberville with me in a couple of days?"Since the Emerian royal family was where Lena truly belonged, Margot thought she probably wouldn't leave.However, she felt that she should still ask since Curtis would be coming to pick her up in a couple of days.Lena glanced at Pamela and shook her head. "I don't feel like going back anymore. I want to stay with Pamela.""Alright, you stay here and don't worry about that old prophecy. Calvin and Anthony both told me that they don't believe it either and would never choose to hurt you, so don't be afraid," Margot said.Lena was their savior. Even if that prophecy was true, and even if Calvin and Anthony were really planning to do something to Lena, Margot wouldn't allow it.Margot thought that Lena has been incredibly kind to them. If the prophecy was indee
Margot noticed the same too.Pamela must have really loved Martin. Otherwise, why would she smile whenever she talked about him? There was always a hint of sadness mixed in with her laughter.Lena remarked, "You couldn't have known that Curtis would marry the long-lost daughter of the Morris family. This is fate playing tricks on us. Perhaps everything is destined in some mysterious way.""Yeah, maybe it was all meant to be." Pamela looked at Margot. "If I were still in the Crosby residence, you calling me 'Grandma' would be fine. But since I'm here, there's no need to stick to that. Let's just follow the order here."This way, everyone would feel more comfortable around each other.Margot agreed, "Okay."She could reluctantly accept addresing Laura as "Aunt Laura". However, she couldn't bring herself to call Lena "Grand-Aunt"....At the Morris residence in Amberville, Curtis remembered his promise to video call Margot. After having dinner, he sat in the living room for a whil
Curtis got the feeling that Gabriel was jealous of him.He couldn't help but brag, "Yeah, I'm just luckier than you."Gabriel was frustrated and kicked his car. "Hurry up and leave. I hope that during her time in Emeria, Margot meets some prince, falls for him, and dumps you. Let's see how smug you are by then."Curtis started the engine and teased Gabriel gleefully before leaving. "Margot only has eyes for me. So, there's no way she'll fall for anyone else. I'm leaving now. I wish you find happiness with someone else soon."Gabriel frowned.He watched as Curtis drove away and chuckled to himself while thinking, "Find happiness with someone else, huh? Come to think of it, Luna is quite pretty…"As Gabriel thought of this, he heard Luna's voice coming from the side. "Let's go," Luna said.Gabriel snapped back to reality and courteously stepped forward to open the car door. After Luna got in the car, he walked around to the driver's side and got in.After driving away, Gabriel
In the Crosby residence, Curtis was in the room holding Louis and video calling Margot. The video call was connected to the TV on the wall across from him. Margot could see Curtis holding Louis while sitting on the bed, and she also had a clear view of a large part of the room.When she saw Louis looking her way, she called out, "Do you miss mommy, Louis?"Louis was about seven or eight months old. He was chubby with fair skin, and he looked very clever.When he saw Margot on the TV, he pointed at the screen, gesturing excitedly and trying to get closer to her. Curtis helped him walk a few steps and then quickly carried him in his arms.He said to Margot, "He definitely misses you. Just look at how excited he gets when he sees you."Margot called out to Louis again. "Louis, say Mommy. Come on… Mommy..."Louis stomped his tiny, short legs in excitement, trying to get closer to Margot. However, with Curtis holding him, he had no way to get close to Margot.In a moment of excitemen
"How about you go back with Margot, and I'll stay with Pamela?" Lena suggested."Can it really be done?" Laura asked."Of course."Laura nodded in agreement and quickly got out of bed. "Alright, wait for me. I'll wash up and then go have a word with Mom."Her last name was Crosby, so she should stay with the Crosby family instead of always being with her mother at her grandmother's house.If it hadn't been because of Pamela feeling sad staying in the Crosby residence after Martin passed away, Laura wouldn't have brought her back to the royal family.Since Laura had been with the royal family for such a long time, it was about time for her to go back.After Laura left, Margot said to Lena, "Just stay here and spend some quality time with Pamela. Anthony mentioned that he won't come and bother you."Lena nodded. She felt a dull pain in her heart whenever Anthony was brought up.Although they weren't far apart now, they would never be able to meet for the rest of their lives. Eve
Anthony frowned and grumbled with a long face, "You're not part of the Evans family, why would we be watching you?"Laura suddenly turned to glare at Anthony. "I just don't get it. In Emeria, you guys hold all the power and call all the shots. Why do you need to keep monitoring my mom and her group?""As long as your mom follows the rules unlike your uncle who acts recklessly, do you think we'd bother monitoring them all day long?" Anthony retorted."Why bring up Uncle Royce? He's already dead!" Laura was furious and started shouting at Anthony.Margot quickly patted Laura's shoulder to calm her down. Then, she turned to Anthony and said, "That's enough, Anthony."She didn't understand the situation between the Morris family and the royal family, so it wasn't appropriate for her to comment.With a displeased expression, Anthony picked up his cutleries to eat but said nothing more."I absolutely hate you, Anthony Morris!" Laura's eyes reddened with anger as she glared at Anthony.
