Tommy turned to Curtis and asked, "I suppose you and Tammy must have done something that somewhat triggered Margot?"Curtis remained silent, his head lowered. He vividly remembered the events leading up to Margot's attempt to take her own life.It was because Tammy had kissed him. At that moment, Margot appeared unfazed and even commented that he and Tammy were well-suited for each other.It turned out that she still held him dear in her heart. So much so that, even as she started to recover, she couldn't bring herself to think about him and Tammy anymore.He was truly at fault for the current situation.Curtis' silence indicated his acknowledgment of being somewhat responsible for what had transpired.Tommy added, "I can help you take care of her for the time being, but I hope you won't hold it against me for whatever happens in the future."Curtis knew that, at the moment, only Tommy could effectively care for Margot. Although he didn't fully grasp what Tommy meant about futur
Margot thought to herself, "Curtis Crosby?" She furrowed her brows, feeling like Tommy had mentioned this name before, but she couldn't recall anything about it. No longer paying attention to the stranger, Margot turned to Natalie with a mischievous look in her gaze. "Natalie, why did you bring your friend over instead of your husband?"Natalie suddenly felt embarrassed by Margot's question. She glanced back at Curtis who was standing behind her.Curtis carefully approached Margot, extending his hand in a gentlemanly and elegant manner. "Hello, I'm Curtis Crosby."Margot cast a cold glance at Curtis, not bothering to shake hands with him. "I'm sorry, but I don't feel comfortable interacting with unfamiliar men."Margot turned to Natalie, pulled her over, and continued to chatter. "Natalie, your skin looks so amazing! Your husband is such a lucky man to be able to marry such a wonderful woman like you! Would you mind staying with me at the hospital today?""Sure!"Natalie wore a
Margot shifted her gaze to Curtis once more, scrutinizing him. She tried to recall, but before she could, her head started throbbing again.Uncomfortable, she shook her head and said, "I don't remember, and my head hurts so much."Witnessing her pain, Curtis tensed up, almost raising his hand to reach out to her.However, Tommy intervened before Curtis could, immediately comforting Margot. "There, there. Let's not dwell on it if you can't remember. The pain will go away as long as you don't think about it."Margot nodded and began to feel a little drowsy. "Tommy, tell him to leave. I want to rest." "Alright then. You should rest first since you're feeling uncomfortable," Tommy replied, glancing back at Curtis and motioning for him to leave.Having no other choice, Curtis left for the time being. However, he didn't go far and remained seated by the door. If the company urgently needed him to sign the documents, Chester would bring them over.Curtis, who had been in the hospital
If that debt remained unsettled, Tammy would never let him off the hook for the rest of her life.Curtis impatiently glanced at the time on his wristwatch.He didn't want to waste any more time, so he started the engine and said, "I've had enough of this. Either you do as I say, or you're out of my life."With that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.Tammy ran after him for a few steps, then watched as the car vanished into the distance. Suddenly, she came to a halt and let out a sardonic laugh. "The more it matters to you, the more I'm inclined to ruin it. Let's see how Margot will survive this."…Margot had finally made a full recovery and was discharged from the hospital. She stood by the window of her hospital bed, savoring a bite of her food as she watched Tommy tidy up for her.Once he finished, Tommy gestured to her. "Let's go, Margot. It's time to go home."Margot nodded cheerfully in agreement. She approached Tommy with a smile and fed him a snack. Tommy
A jarring bang reverberated through the chassis as Curtis' car collided directly with the vehicle in front of him, which was waiting at the traffic light.Fortunately, Curtis reacted quickly and slammed on the brakes, averting a potentially more severe collision.Margot, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt, was thrown forward by inertia when Curtis abruptly braked. Just as Margot was about to hit her head, Tommy shielded her."Are you alright, Margot?"Margot shook her head and glanced at Curtis behind the wheel. "What just happened? Did we get into an accident?"Curtis remained motionless in the driver's seat, his mind still consumed by the image of Margot leaning on Tommy's shoulder. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, as if trying to strangle it. It was evident that he was seething with fury, yet he couldn't vent it.The driver of the car that was hit got out and began yelling and banging on Curtis' car window. "What the hell are you doing? Do you even know how to drive? Do y
Curtis dismissed Doris and then followed Margot to the backyard.Natalie was busy preparing pastries and arranging them on plates in the back lawn. Gabriel was nearby, working on the flowers and balloons.Margot stood in the distance, marveling at the beautiful decorations in the backyard. They were like something out of a fairy tale.She cheerfully exclaimed, "Natalie!"Natalie turned around, smiling, and waved her hand excitedly. "Welcome back, Margot! Come over here and see what I've prepared for you."Margot walked over to Natalie, her mouth watering at the sight of the table full of delicious pastries.She hugged Natalie, affectionately nuzzling against her, saying, "You're the best, Natalie! I love you so, so much!"Natalie smiled gently and responded, "I know you love me, but I already have a very loving husband."Glancing at the nearby man, Margot asked, "Is he the one?"Natalie nodded. "That's right! Isn't my husband good-looking?"Margot wanted to agree but caught s
Margot blinked her doe-like eyes as she gazed at the man before her. Her voice became increasingly faint."Can't I call you 'Curt'? Your name is Curtis Crosby, right?"She didn't know why she had to call him "Curt", but it seemed very befitting for him.Curtis found himself unable to speak. As he gazed at the individual before him, the sound of her calling him "Curt" lingered in the air, a comforting familiarity that hinted at positive prospects.With a gentle expression on his face, he nodded and said, "Of course you can. You can call me whatever you want.""Alright, you guys carry on then. I'll be heading over there."With that, Margot hastily turned around and ran off.She felt that her change toward that man had been too sudden, and it would make others think that she had deliberately approached him to build a relationship after learning his identity. That wasn't the case.She had previously misunderstood him, so she simply wanted to apologize to him.Meanwhile, Curtis
Curtis sought solace in alcohol, hoping to numb himself so that he could completely forget about the scene before him. He continued to reassure himself that Margot's behavior toward Tommy was a result of her confusing Tommy with him.Recognizing the critical moment, Curtis knew he couldn't let anger take over and risk stimulating Margot. He had to restrain himself.Natalie and Gabriel, who were sitting nearby, remained silent. They were silently observing the scene before them.When Margot noticed Tommy remained unmoved, she frowned and puffed out her cheeks as though she was about to cry."Do you not like me anymore? Why can't you fulfill such a small request of mine?"Tommy felt like he was reaching his breaking point. If Margot kept hugging his arm and acting coquettishly, he would eventually give in.Left with no choice, Tommy laughed dryly to hide his discomfort and poured Margot some wine. "Fine, here's your drink. Just a sip, though. After all, the injury on your head hasn
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
