Curtis walked into the bathroom and saw the naked man sitting in the bathtub.As Curtis looked at the face that was almost identical to Daniel’s, he held back his excitement. Just as Curtis was about to call out to him, the man in the bathtub spoke first."Who are you? Who let you in?"Geralt was furious as he looked at the stranger who had suddenly appeared. He thought the visitor was Edna, so he allowed her to enter. He didn't expect it to be a man.Curtis, who was about to speak, suddenly froze. Upon realizing what was happening, he quickly responded, "I'm sent by the captain to protect you, Mr. Geralt."When he met Geralt's gaze, Curtis hinted, "Mr. Geralt, don't you recognize me?"Geralt studied the man in front of him. He had an extraordinary demeanor and a heroic appearance.With a stern face, Geralt replied, "I don't recall. The captain you mentioned… Is it Nessa?""Yes." Curtis' heart skipped a beat.Didn't Daniel recognize him? How could he not recognize his friend?
Was it because Daniel had lost his memory and couldn't remember anything that he didn't manage to go home in time?To make it legitimate for Calvin to come here to get Daniel, Curtis quickly added, "Princess Edna, could you go inside and get some of Geralt's personal items for me, like his toothbrush or some hair?"Edna asked, "Are you trying to find out Geralt's identity?"She knew that Geralt must be some important person. Ever since Ragnar found out that she rescued a man by the seaside, he had brought her and the man she rescued back to the royal family.They were then ordered to immediately hold a wedding ceremony. After the wedding ended, they were brought back here, and she was ordered to get pregnant with Geralt's child within two months.Edna wanted to know who her husband truly was and the reason Ragnar seemed to care so much about him. Moreover, he even pressured her to become pregnant within a short period of time.What were Ragnar and the others really planning?Cur
Both Edna and Geralt were inexperienced. So, the whole process was slow and took a long time.Curtis was waiting anxiously outside the room. The room had good soundproofing, so he had no idea what was going on inside. He couldn't push the door open and barge in either. So, he had to wait outside.It was only around midnight that Edna finally opened the door and stepped out. She lookedsomewhat exhausted as she handed him some hair and a toothbrush."Sorry for making you wait. Here, take these," Edna said.Curtis accepted the items and glanced at Edna. Upon noticing her flushed face, and immediately guessed what had happened. He said, "Thank you, Your Highness.""You're welcome. Are you taking them back to Nessa right away?"Curtis nodded and replied, "Yeah.""Then tell Nessa that I'm doing well here. Tell her that Geralt is treating me well too, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.""Okay."“Hurry up and go.”"Alright."After Curtis disappeared down the hallway, Edna
Clearly, Allison was in no position to negotiate with the king right now.Allison glanced at Margot said, "Take care of yourself and go back to where Mr. Sawyer and the others are immediately."Margot had no idea what was happening. She stood up and asked worriedly, "What's going on?""I'm not sure either. I'll have to leave for now," Allison replied.She knew she couldn't act recklessly in the royal palace, so she had no choice but to follow instructions and leave with the bodyguards."Nessa!" Margot shouted and tried to run out after her, but two bodyguards stopped her.She had no choice and wanted to turn around to go back to where Gabriel and Luna were. However, two bodyguards kept watch over her and didn't let her go anywhere.They held her in Ryan's residence. Margot couldn't get out. So, she could only pace back and forth in the room anxiously.It took about one or two hours before Ryan eventually arrived. He walked in slowly with a gloomy expression and bloodshot eyes.
Ragnar was stunned. He didn't expect Calvin to come over at this time. What was the purpose of his sudden visit? Did he come to pick up Margot, or had he learned about something?Ragnar looked at Margot and said, "Ms. Morris, please wait here for a moment. I will go and meet with your brother first."Margot was somewhat surprised that Calvin had come over. She quickly said, "I'll come with you. It's been a long time since I last saw my brother. I miss him."Ragnar had no right to refuse, so he led her to the living room.Calvin had come alone. He didn't bring anything. Not even one of his subordinates was in view.He left the capable people around him in Emeria to keep an eye on things and make sure nothing went wrong in his absence.Curtis took his military seal to Yerhda Island.If Ragnar was willing to hand over Daniel, then they would negotiate peacefully. If he had other intentions, Calvin would send Curtis, who had the military seal and the power to command an army, to the
Calvin had a stern expression and an imposing presence. "Your Majesty, you hid the fact that Daniel was here. Furthermore, you hurriedly arranged for him to marry Princess Edna. Did Your Majesty show respect to the Morris family by doing all these?"I don't care what plans you have, Your Majesty. I just want Daniel back right now, so I must trouble you to send someone to bring him back immediately."If Daniel wasn't there by tomorrow, he would give Curtis the order to bring him back by force. He wasn't afraid of getting into conflict. At any given time, the Morris family could handle the consequences that come with starting a war.Calvin vanquished what little righteousness Ragnar had managed to muster. Ragnar felt humiliated and angry, but he didn't show it on his face.In the end, he had to speak politely and calmly with Calvin. "Mr. Morris, I don't know how you confirmed that my son-in-law is your brother. But if you wish to see him, I'll arrange it. There's no need for us to be
"That's the plan," Calvin replied.Holding Margot's hand, Calvin headed back to where Gabriel and Luna were with her.Margot asked, "How is Natalie doing?""She's doing well, so don't worry about her. On the contrary, she's been worried about you ever since she found out that the Koronia royal family detained you," Calvin said."With you and Curtis backing us, they wouldn't dare do anything to us," Margot responded. Then, she thought of something and excitedly said, "Guess who I ran into here."Calvin looked at Margot's delighted expression and said with a smile, "You've met Allison, haven't you?"Margot's face immediately fell. "Did Curtis tell you?""Of course. Curtis also said that if it weren't for Allison, he probably wouldn't have survived to see me."This time, Curtis did something significant for the Morris family. Calvin would remember what he'd done for a lifetime.And so, Calvin and Margot went back to meet with Gabriel and Luna. Gabriel was immensely surprised wh
There was absolutely no way for him to be with Lena. But… What should he do if he couldn't let go?Anthony felt a sharp pain in his chest again. The pain was so vivid that he could barely stand it. He fell to his knees with a thud."Branden, I know you possess great skills and are well-versed in the ways of the mind. Could you help guide me in the right direction?" Anthony pleaded.He was unsure about the kind of feelings Branden had toward Lena.These days, Branden's disciples had been taking great care of him on the mountain. This showed that Branden was a compassionate and generous person. Because of that, he felt that he shouldn't judge Branden unfairly and in a narrow-minded way."If you listen to me, of course I'm willing to help you. But it's obvious that you're agitated and impulsive, and there's no way you would follow my advice," Branden spoke slowly and calmly with his back to Anthony.Anthony shook his head. "I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you suggest, but let m
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
