Ryan frowned, "He asked about Edna?""Yes, he has been asking me about Edna and Geralt," Tina replied.Ryan asked again, "Who is he?"Tina shook her head. "I only know that he came from Ligronia, his family name is Crosby, and that he attended Edna's wedding yesterday."After realizing that there was a problem, Ryan coldly glared at Tina. "Listen to me, if you keep bringing men back recklessly and ignoring your reputation; causing the media to find out and ruin the royal family's image, I will inform our father right away and have your princess title taken away."Tina, although still feeling indignant, lowered her head and replied, "Yes, I won't dare to do it again."Ryan walked away briskly.…Curtis returned to the hotel in the afternoon. He opened the door to the presidential suite and immediately saw three people sitting in the living room.Margot had been anxiously waiting for him.When she saw Curtis come back, she hurriedly got up to greet him with her face full of wor
Curtis quickly pushed Gabriel aside and followed Margot into her room.When he saw Margot sitting on the carpet by the bedside hugging herself, he went over, crouched down, and gently placed his hand on her."Margot, after all these years, you still don't trust me?"Margot didn't even look up and waved her hand, saying, "Go change your clothes and take a shower before talking to me."He had the scent of women's perfume all over him, and it made her feel really nauseous.However, Curtis was not pleased.He frowned, and while taking off his shirt, he said in a deep voice, "Let me tell you once more—all these marks on my body are self-inflicted. I'm going to take a shower now, but if you can't trust me even a little bit, then it will really hurt my feelings."He got up, took off his shirt, and threw it in the trash can. He then went to the bathroom with his upper body bare.Margot slowly lifted her head and looked at the shirt he had thrown in the trash can. She felt an inexplicab
After hearing what Ryan said, Gabriel naturally became cautious. He laughed and said, "Thank you for your warm hospitality, but we find the hotel quite nice. We'll rest here for a couple of days and then head back, so there's no need to trouble the royal family."Ryan asked, "Is Mr. Sawyer worried about something?""I'm not worried about anything; I simply don't want to trouble the royal family."Ryan insisted, "It's no trouble. We'll wait here for Mr. Sawyer for a few minutes. You can gather your things and come with us."Gabriel was at a loss for words. By the looks of it, they were determined to take them away.He closed the door, looking very serious.Luna asked him, "What should we do now? Why would the royal family suddenly send someone to invite us as guests?""Curt must have been inquiring about Daniel and it caught their attention. Now they want to detain us to figure out the reason."He then saw Margot sitting by herself with her head down and typing on her phone.
"You're five weeks into your pregnancy. Since your health isn't the best, you must watch out for …"Margot Stone didn't hear what the doctor said afterward. All she heard was that she was pregnant.She was pregnant …She couldn't believe she was having his baby.Didn't this mean that their contract marriage would now turn into a real one?Margot was over the moon. She remembered that he was returning from his business trip tonight, so she grabbed her pregnancy report and dashed home excitedly.As the sun set and the sky began drizzling, Margot returned home completely drenched.As soon as she entered the house, her housekeeper, Doris, rushed over with a towel to dry off Margot's hair."Oh, look at you! You'll catch a cold at this rate! Hurry upstairs and take a warm bath."Still, Margot kept beaming from ear to ear.She bent over to change her shoes. That was when she saw a pair of well-polished leather shoes on top of the shoe cabinet.Pleasantly surprised, Margot spun arou
Margot knew Curtis had given her a lot, and she shouldn't cling to him.However, she was pregnant with his child, so she must think for her child as well."Are you trying to start a fight, Margot?" Curtis' scowl deepened.Standing beside the bed, he looked down at Margot but didn't explain why he was marrying the other woman.Margot didn't want to anger him, but she couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.Working hard to keep her emotions in check, she replied, "I just want to know if you'll stop talking to that woman if I have a baby with you."She was giving him a chance.Curtis pressed his lips together, displeased. Without hesitation, he said, "We will still be getting divorced, just not now. Don't worry. You can have anything you want when we get divorced."Hearing this, Margot shut her eyes as hot tears rolled down her cheeks.Her heart throbbing, she threw herself across the bed, unable to stop her cries any longer.Curtis watched her sob, and his heart began to ache
Margot clung to Curtis as she kissed him passionately and resentfully.No normal man would be able to resist such temptation, including Curtis. He wrapped his arm around her and began kissing her back.He tossed the divorce papers into the table drawer with his other hand before lifting Margot. They slowly made their way upstairs, their kiss never stopping.The journey was easy due to how light Margo was.It was only when he placed her on their bed that Margot realized she shouldn't be doing this in case their actions might hurt her baby.So, when Curtis leaned closer to her, she quickly pressed a hand against his chest.Curtis, having lost all reason, was insistent on kissing her.Margot knew what the kiss would lead to, so she frantically stopped the man. "Stop! I'm not feeling too well, so why don't we stop here?""Too late," Curtis groaned hoarsely. He was about to carry on, but Margot hurriedly pushed him away and curled into a ball at one end of the bed.Curtis was confu
Margot was puzzled. Who could it be?Curiously, she headed toward the campus gates where she was greeted by a middle-aged man.The man greeted her politely, "This way, please, Ms. Stone."Margot followed the man to a car waiting by the roadside. The man opened the door, and Margot spotted a well-dressed lady sitting inside.Margot didn't know who the woman was, so she remained standing and on guard.The woman in the car said, "Come in. I'll take you out to lunch."Margot didn't respond, so the other woman continued, "I'm Tammy Vaughn. I don't know if Curt has ever mentioned me."Tammy …Margot recalled seeing this name on Curtis' phone and realized this was the woman he was going to marry.Immediately, Margot was filled with animosity against the woman. She snapped, "What are you here for?"From her seat, Tammy regarded Margot patronizingly. "I just wanted to chat about Curt. Why? Are you afraid of me?""Afraid of you, a shameless mistress?"There was no way Margot was scar
Margot was taken aback. "What are you talking about?""Listen, from now on, don't bother Tammy. Be good and don't put me in a tough spot, alright?"Without letting Margot answer, he continued, "That's it. I'm hanging up now."Before Margot had time to defend herself, Curtis had already ended the call.Margot's blood began boiling as she came to the realization that Tammy had tattled on her first.How dare that woman go whining to Curtis when she was the one who approached Margot?Margot was frustrated but could only drag herself back to campus.For the next two days, Margot stayed in school and never sent Curtis a single text. However, Curtis didn't take the initiative to contact her, either.Friday soon arrived, and it was time for the highly anticipated lecture.Margot was sitting at her desk dazedly when Quinn began to sweep through her things to look for her phone.Finally, Quinn found it. She was about to run out when she spotted Margot still sitting there, so she asked,
