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
When they heard Tommy's shout, Curtis and Calvin finally took the hint and let go of the women they were holding.Calvin said, "Sorry, it's my mistake. I didn't consider your feelings."When he saw that everyone was having a meal, he quickly said, "It seems I've come at the right time. There's no need to stand, so please sit down and continue eating."It was only then everyone took their seats once more.Throughout the entire meal, Calvin held Natalie's hand tightly. He seemed unwilling to let go even for a second.Natalie looked down, and upon seeing how gently Calvin cared for her, her eyes were filled with joy.It was really nice that he was back home.From this moment on, they wouldn't be apart ever again. From now on, no matter where Calvin went, she would follow him to the ends of the earth and never leave his side.Upon seeing that Calvin had returned and him holding Natalie's hand tightly with one hand, Margot smiled. Then, she also reached out to hold Curtis' hand.Cu
Tommy gritted his teeth. He really wanted to stop the car and nag at Benjamin. "Benjamin, shut up! That happened so many years ago, and you're still bringing it up."Benjamin stubbornly said, "You need to find a lover like a normal man and start a relationship. Do you think other people want to expose your deepest issues? Anyway, Grandma said that if you don't find a lover soon, she'll arrange blind dates for you.""Benjamin, don't think I won't throw you out of the car."Tommy was genuinely feeling a bit angry and gestured at Laura, who was sitting in the passenger seat. "Princess, give him a couple of punches for me."Laura sat there while feeling somewhat gleeful about the situation. "Sir…. no, has Mr. Singletom truly never been in a relationship?"Tommy was now very upset. He glanced at the child next to him and asked, "What did you call me?""An old man who has never been in a romantic relationship is exactly like a singleton.""Laura, do you also feel like causing trouble?
Now, the Morris family had gained another princess in addition to Margot.When it was time, the princess was definitely going to be extremely adored. Of course, if it was a boy, then they would also pamper him plenty.After the ultrasound was done, the doctor said everything looked good. Calvin then took Natalie by the hand and they left the clinic to return home.That night, the couple was affectionately cuddling and stayed close to each other for a long time without separating.…Over in Emeria, Lena was feeling bored, so she opened the package she had brought back from the mountains and took out the book Branden had left for her to read.She hadn't even started reading the book when a map fell out of it. On it, the map was labeled as "confidential".Lena was very confused. Did Branden leave this for her only and was telling her not to let anyone else know?But why did Branden leave her with a map?Lena carefully examined the map and noticed that it depicted a range of mount
"I'll need some provisions and water. Also, please arrange a plane to take me to Amberville," said Lena.Branden's map showed that the location was in Taverdale. She would fly from Emeria to Amberville, and intended to first avoid the surveillance of the Morris family.Pamela understood what she wanted and immediately went to make the arrangements for Lena that evening.The next morning, she personally took Lena to the airport.It was at the moment Lena boarded the plane that, outside Anthony's study, a helper reported, "Mr. Anthony."Anthony was currently in a video meeting.He ended the meeting, turned off the video camera, and then looked toward the study door, saying, "Come in."The helper entered the room, nodded, and said, "Someone from the royal family has crossed the border."Anthony asked, "Who?""She's the woman who recently moved into the palace, Lena Lemia."Right now, the helpers had no idea that Lena had another identity; she was actually a member of the royal f
Margot was quite surprised when she received a call from Natalie and heard that Lena was returning.She hung up the phone, smiled, and went to the study to tell Curtis, who was working, "Darling, Lena is back."Curtis paused his work and turned to look in Margot's direction. "Didn't she say she was going to stay with the royal family to keep Pamela company?""She told me the same thing before, but Natalie said she might have come because she misses us."Margot smiled and continued, "You're busy now. I'll go downstairs and ask the chef to prepare some of her favorite dishes."Curtis quickly asked, "Do you know her flight details? If it's still early, I can drive to the airport to pick her up."Margot, who was getting ready to leave the study, turned back to look at Curtis and shook her head."I don't know, but Natalie said she probably wants to surprise us, so you shouldn't go pick her up. Let's just wait until she comes back on her own.""That's fine too."Curtis decided not t
Margot felt that Lena wouldn't go back to the original place just to find Branden. She had just spent a month in the countryside before coming back. She had also clearly promised to stay with Pamela in Emeria.Yet, she was already back in Amberville after just a few days. Could it be that she has something she needs to do?"What are you thinking about? It's time to get up. After you're done washing up, I'm taking Louis and you to my office."Curtis reached out to hug Margot, but Margot turned down his advances and said seriously, "You'd better send someone to find Lena quickly. From what I know, she wouldn't be going back to the mountains where she used to live. She must have something important to do."Curtis responded, "Alright, I'll send someone to find her first."After making a call and assigning someone to find Lena, he was afraid of Margot worrying again, so he reassured her by saying, "I'll call Pamela to find out what's going on with Lena."Margot suddenly came to a real
