Luna laughed out loud. Upon hearing Gabriel call Curtis "old man", she couldn't help but laugh.Curtis' lips were pursed, and his handsome face looked stern. His fists tightened, and it looked like he was holding back an urge to punch a certain someone.He glared coldly at Gabriel. "Do you have a death wish?"Gabriel quickly looked at Margot. "Come on, switch seats with me. Your old man is going to hit me."When he was getting up, Curtis kicked him. And so, Margot hurriedly switched seats with Gabriel. As she sat down next to Curtis, she gave his thigh a playful smack."Alright, don't be mad." She leaned in close to his face and gave him a kiss. Then, she comforted him by saying, "Even though you're getting on in years, you still look very handsome. Older men like you are the most charming."Curtis looked at her with a sorrowful expression and asked, "Are you trying to comfort me?""Of course.""It would have been better if you didn't comfort me."She said he was getting on in
Margot was at a loss for words. She looked absolutely shocked and incredulous.She turned to look at Curtis and asked, "Do you believe him?"Curtis shook his head and replied, "I don't.""I don't believe it either," Margot agreed.Margot looked at Gabriel again. "You're kidding, right? How could you two possibly get married right after your first meeting?"Gabriel chuckled and said, "Who knows? In any case, it was a moment of impulsiveness when I went ahead and got married. I didn't expect Ms. Maxwell to be so cooperative.""So, you never thought about telling us during the gathering. And you decided that it was better to put on act and fool us instead?" Curtis said with disbelief.He was at a loss for words.It turned out that their relationship was so poor that Gabriel didn't even bother to tell him about his marriage. How wonderful of him to treat Curtis as an outsider. At that moment, Curtis decided that he had to rethink their friendship.Gabriel squinted at Curtis and sa
If Branden ate a meal she made, he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for three days.Lena nodded and said, "I made a lot, and it's enough to feed everyone. What's wrong? Does it taste bad?"She felt a little sad because she got up early to prepare food for everyone. Why did Branden seem to dislike it so much?Branden had a serious look on his face as he urged, "Hurry and tell them not to eat it! If kids eat raw food like this, they'll easily get a stomachache."Lena was shocked and quickly took a bite. She thought it tasted okay.She complained, "You're being too picky. It's nowhere raw.""Go and stop them this instance! If they all get stomachaches, will you go feed the pigs and work in the fields?" Branden looked at Lena and sighed.She was a grown woman, yet her cooking was nowhere as good as Lilac's. It was a great shame."Alright, alright." Lena was a bit sad, but she quickly ran off as she was told.When she arrived at the dining hall, everyone was seated, but each had
Lena still felt a bit upset whenever she thought about Anthony. She didn't want to mention that person—she just wanted to spend some peaceful and carefree time with Branden here."Master, when did you take in these disciples? Why haven't I heard you mention them before?" Lena changed the subject.Branden casually ate his meal while replying, "Over the past year. Each of them has had a tough life. They are either homeless or suffering from serious illnesses without money for treatment. Upon seeing how pitiful their situation is, I've simply brought them all up the mountain."The abbey had been uninhabited for many years and was in quite a dilapidated state. With so many disciples around, Branden managed to get a lot of repairs done. So, living here was pretty good now.Lena knew that Branden was the kindest person in the world. She couldn't help but secretly glance at him again. The more she looked, the more she found him to be just like a young man in his 20s. There wasn't a sing
Lena rushed inside and saw two of the disciples treating the wounds of a man. When she realized that person was indeed Anthony, she stood frozen to the spot. Her eyes reddened and welled up with tears, her mind in a turmoil.She didn't understand how Anthony got there, nor did she comprehend why he would come looking for her.Hadn't they agreed that they wouldn't be involved with each other anymore in this lifetime? Hadn't they said that they would be like strangers even if they met again?What was the meaning of his actions now?When the younger disciples saw her, they called out, "Who is this person, Lena? He's badly hurt and keeps calling your name."Lena walked over with heavy steps. Her juniors made room for her automatically.Lena sat down and looked at Anthony, who was lying unconscious on the bed. Apart from his face, it seemed like his entire body was badly injured. He probably took the most treacherous path to get to the peak quickly and came across a predatorial beast,
"Enlighten him?" Lena didn't understand.Branden explained, "Enlighten him let go of all the hatred in his heart and resolve all grudges."Lena shook her head. "What about me? I also feel guilty in my heart, and there's no way I can convince myself to be with him right now."Even if Branden guided Anthony and enlightened him, Lena would always remember in her heart that her brother, Royce, was responsible for the deaths of more than ten people in the Morris family.There was a deep and bitter feud between their two families. She couldn't possibly be with Anthony wholeheartedly given their familial grudges."Leni, you go with Solace to the mountain at the back for now and recite the scriptures. When the time is right, I'll let you come out. By then, you may not have so many concerns." Not wanting to see Lena in distress, Branden called out toward the side door, "Solace."Lilac quickly lifted the door flap and ran over, softly calling out, "Master.""Take Lena to the mountain at t
The four of them, dressed in formal attire and holding invitations, made their way through several checkpoints and finally arrived at the wedding banquet lobby.The royal wedding banquet took place in the castle. Although there wasn't a national celebration, distinguished figures from various sectors across the country were still invited. At this moment in the wedding reception lobby, there was a gathering of celebrities, and there were countless handsome men and beautiful women.Curtis and Gabriel, along with Margot and Luna, were among them.They had striking looks and a natural air of elegance. Even at a royal wedding, they still caught people's attention just by standing there.As Margot found their seats and sat down, she remarked, "I always thought a princess' wedding would be a nationwide celebration, but I didn't expect it to be held indoors."Luna said, "Maybe they prefer to keep a low profile."To be honest, looking at the wedding scene, she felt it wasn't as grand as
Margot asked, "Is that Daniel? Am I seeing things?"Curtis held her and whispered, "Don't get too worked up, Margot. It might just be someone who looks similar."That had to be it—Daniel and Frederick were dead!Curtis couldn't believe his eyes.Margot still wouldn't give in. Her eyes red as she spoke with barely contained emotion, "Is it just a mere resemblance? Isn't he Daniel? Look, Curtis—his height, build, and appearance—doesn't he resemble Daniel in every way? It's him, right?""Margot, calm down."Before Curtis could say more, Gabriel sensed something was wrong and turned around to warn Margot, "I think there's a conspiracy in today's wedding. Keep your emotions in check, and we'll investigate what's going on after the wedding is over."He couldn't believe it—wasn't Daniel supposed to be dead? Didn't he and Frederick go missing after a plane crash? How did he suddenly show up at this wedding and become the princess' new husband?This was truly mind-boggling.Margot coul
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
