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.
Natalie didn't want to settle in Emeria, but Calvin had to stay there to rule the empire that the Morris family had built. This kind of arrangement wouldn't work long-term. So, he would have to make a choice.If he was left with no other choice one day, he would have to give up certain things....After flying for several hours, Margot and Laura arrived in Amberville. It was already evening by then.As soon as Laura's feet touched the ground, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, she smiled as she said to Margot, "The air here feels so familiar. From now on, I'm going to live with you on this land. I hope you won't find me a bother."Margot walked over and ruffled her hair. "Don't say such silly things. We'll only become fonder of you as time goes by."Laura chuckled and flashed Margot a smile. Despite being a teenager who was around 15 or 16 years old, she remained optimistic and innocent. With light, skipping steps, she made her way toward the exit.From behind, an
Downstairs, Margot was overjoyed when she reached out to carry Louis from Elias. She then kissed his soft, chubby cheeks repeatedly.Louis was really excited too when he saw Margot, kicking about energetically. He gurgled in a babyish babble and suddenly shouted, "Mommy.""Oh, Mommy's here now. There's no need for video calls with you anymore. Darling, you must have really missed Mommy too, haven't you?" Margot couldn't help but plant two firm kisses on Louis' face.Elias was beside Margot and asked excitedly, "Did he just call you 'Mommy'? Louis can say 'Mommy' now?"Margot looked over at Elias and said, "Yes, Louis could already say that before.""How could we not know?" Elias quickly looked at Ashley and said, "Did you hear that? Louis can actually say 'Mommy' now.""Really?" Ashley hurriedly got up and came over. While she was playing with Louis, she said, "Louis, let us hear it again. Say 'Mommy'."Louis' bright, doe-like eyes twinkled. Noticing that several people were loo
"Margot, when and how did you come back? Why are you suddenly on the bed?"Margot sat up and said, "Who do you think you were kissing if I hadn't returned?""It's you, of course. I just thought it was a dream."Curtis got excited and held Margot's face in his hands. He kissed her aggressively and couldn't help but chuckle. "You came back early to surprise me, right? Or were you missing me so much that you couldn't stay there any longer?" Curtis was in indescribable joy as he gently pinched Margot's cheeks.Even though they had been talking through video calls every day, Curtis still felt empty as he couldn't hug Margot to sleep at night.He did not expect that Margot would return just because she missed him. Margot pushed Curtis aside and said, "Don't get ahead of yourself. I came back because of Louis."If it wasn't because of how Louis cried and said that he was missing Margot, she wouldn't be back so soon."I don't care, Louis was definitely an excuse. I know you came b
The chef stood at the side, feeling uneasy."Mr. Crosby, I'll do it. This isn't someone like you should be doing."Curtis ignored what the chef said. Absorbed in what he was doing, he told the chef, "You don't understand. Doing things like these for the woman I love feels amazing."The chef stayed silent.Out of nowhere, he was force-fed a dose of Curtis' affection for Margot, and it left him feeling suffocated. As he did not dare to continue interrupting Curtis, the chef wisely shifted his attention to preparing breakfast for Elias and Ashley. On the other hand, Curtis only had Margot in mind while preparing the food.After everything was ready, he placed it in the warmer and went up to his room.It was 7:00 am when Margot opened her eyes.Glancing at the pillow beside her, Curtis was already gone.A sudden wave of sadness washed over her as she sat up, ready to get out of the bed. Just then, Curtis walked out of the closet, holding her clothes. Seeing that Margot was
