Margot pulled Laura over and said to Tommy, "This is my aunt, Laura."Then, she looked at Laura and said, "Aunt Laura, this is—""Hello, Sir," Laura greeted Tommy politely before Margot could finish her sentence.Tommy felt exasperated upon being called "Sir". "What did you just call me?"Laura blushed deeply. "Shouldn't I address you as 'Sir'?"After all, when she was just a child, he was already an adult who played the leading male role in a TV drama."How old are you?" Tommy asked."16 years old.""You're 16? Well, I guess calling me 'Sir' is indeed appropriate for you."Tommy walked over to Curtis, who was holding Louis, and asked teasingly, "Since your aunt calls me 'Sir,' what should you call me?"He had heard that Curtis had many aunts, and the youngest one was even younger than Margot. Today, he finally got to meet her. She instantly elevated his status significantly, making him mistakenly believe that he was indeed a mature, dignified man.Curtis sneered, "Don't you
Laura was afraid that others would notice how flustered she was inside. Her heart raced so wildly that she could hear her heartbeat in her ears."You guys carry on. I need to go to the office to take care of some things," Curtis said.He stood up and said to Margot, "You stay here and keep Natalie company. I'll pick you both up after work.""Okay," Margot said, "go do what you need to do. Drive safely.""Alright," Curtis replied.After Curtis left, Margot asked Natalie, "Where's Benjamin? Can we get him to come and keep Laura company? There's no one her age here. I'm worried she'll get bored.""Benjamin hasn't gotten out of bed yet," Natalie replied. "Why don't you go upstairs and ask Benjamin to get up, Laura?"Laura quickly shook her head and declined. "Kids need more sleep to grow. Let him sleep a bit longer. I'll just stay here with you all.""Are you feeling shy? Your face is all red," Natalie commented with a smile.Laura became even more embarrassed and quickly stopped
Laura couldn't help but laugh while looking at the funny posts she wrote during her younger years.Caleb and Yannis were both names of male leads that Tommy had played before. She called Tommy "Tomtom" in many of her entries. That was the name his fans used specially to refer to him.Laura found it quite funny when she recalled how she and her classmates used to be obsessed with Tommy during their school days. She didn't expect that she would get to meet her idol up close today.If she had known that Curtis and Margot were friends with her idol, she would have asked them for an autograph back then. And if she had gotten Tommy's autograph back then, she'd be the envy of all the girls in her class."Louis, do you see who that is? It's your grand-aunt!" Tommy's voice came from not far away.He was supporting Louis as he walked on the grass while pointing toward Laura.Laura turned to look and hurriedly closed her social media feeds. She stood up and put her cell phone away while wai
"I'm not telling you." Laura started to laugh, her cheeks turning bright red.Tommy frowned. "Why won't you tell me? Need you be so mysterious about it? Who knows? If I happen to know them, I can help you get their autograph.""I'm not interested in an autograph. If anything, I want to get his WhatsApp contact."When Tommy heard that, he pulled out his cell phone and handed it to her without any hesitation. "Take a look and see if your idol is in my friend list. I have the WhatsApp contacts of almost half the people in the entertainment industry. You can get their contact for yourself."Laura was surprised, but she reached out to take the cell phone absentmindedly. Avoiding Tommy's gaze, she quickly scanned and added him as a contact and then deleted the record.She then pretended to scroll through his friends list and remarked in disappointment, "I couldn't find my idol, so here you go.""Who exactly is your idol? I have half of the entertainment industry's contacts, yet they're
Benjamin always knew that he would have to follow Natalie no matter where she went. He had decided that he would always stay by her side. If he didn't stay with her, she would worry and blame herself.With a smile, he said to Natalie, "Of course, wherever you go, I'll go with you."Upon hearing Benjamin's affirmative words, Natalie smiled.She raised her hand to pat Benjamin's head and said, "Alright. When Calvin comes back, we'll go to Emeria together, okay?""Okay." Benjamin was afraid that Natalie might think that he felt reluctant about this, so he added, "Uncle Calvin promised me that he would show me his army and also teach me archery, horse riding, and combat skills."Upon learning that Benjamin genuinely wanted to go with her, Natalie felt relieved.Considering that if she went to Emeria with Calvin, she would likely have very little time to spend with her parents in the future, so she decided to stay at the Nelson residence for the time being with Benjamin.After spendi
Gabriel was quite skilled in bed. That night, Luna couldn't resist and gave in, and it felt really good.Margot didn't know how to respond, so she simply kept quiet.Natalie nudged Luna and reminded, "Curtis wasn't with her at that time, so how could she have done it?"Luna suddenly remembered something and laughed out loud. "Oh right. During the time when Margot was pregnant, Mr. Crosby had some issues. Sorry, I forgot about that.""You keep asking about this. Are you planning to have a baby?" Margot changed the topic. "Be honest with us. How far have you and Mr. Sawyer gotten?"Luna looked down and smiled without saying anything.Margot and Natalie exchanged a smile and speculated, "Don't tell me you've gotten together but decided to hide it from us.""Come on, that never happened. No way." Luna's eyes darted around, avoiding the gazes of the two women. "I'll go check if they're done, I can already smell the food."With that, Luna got up and left.Natalie and Margot were ren
Curtis couldn't help but speak up. "How about we compete and see whose evaluation scores higher later?""Why would I be afraid of you? A half-assed person like you has been married for years and only just learned how to cook," Gabriel mocked.Curtis became furious and kicked Gabriel. "Just you wait," he said.Gabriel didn't mind getting kicked at all. He laughed and said, "Fine, I'll be waiting. If you can beat me, I'll give you 2% of Sawyer Group's shares. But if you lose, how about giving me 5% of your company's shares?"Curtis couldn't bear the humiliation and was about to agree without hesitation when Tommy quickly stopped him. "Curtis, don't bet with him. Isn't the outcome obvious?""Do you also think I'll lose to him?" Curtis asked, feeling very disappointed by the lack of faith.Tommy sighed and said, "Even though I've never liked him, I have to admit that his skills are really impressive. I wholly acknowledge my defeat against him."Curtis was left speechless. Damn it! H
Gabriel looked extremely proud and smugly raised an eyebrow at Curtis.Curtis took a sip of red wine while feeling quite irritated. However, a loss was a loss, and he accepted the outcome. In the future, he would put in the effort to learn and invite world-class chefs to come and teach him. He just couldn't believe that he wasn't as good as Gabriel."What's so great about comparing this?" Curtis muttered.Luna raised her glass and said, "Mr. Crosby may not be good at cooking, but he's great at making money, and having money is what's important. Come on, let's have a toast."Everyone nodded along to Luna's words and raised their glasses to toast. Happiness was evident in each of their expressions.Only Natalie showed a hint of regret in her eyes. She wished dearly that Calvin could've been present at the gathering.As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she suddenly heard Mary's voice call out, "Mrs. Morris, look who's here."Upon hearing that, Natalie quickly turned around to
