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
Gabriel pursued Curtis into the living room, bringing him to an abrupt halt. "Are you jealous?" Gabriel asked with a smirk.Curtis' face was flushed with anger as he walked into the living room and sat down. He was so angry that he could barely breathe.Gabriel sat down next to him and patted him on the shoulder. "You need to learn to accept it. After all, in her subconscious, she sees Tommy as you. Just pretend that her actions are directed at you.""How am I supposed to pretend when Tommy himself is a living, tangible person, and I have to watch them behave intimately in front of me? If it were you, would you be fine with it?"Curtis finally realized what it felt like to see someone he liked with someone else. That feeling was truly unpleasant.Gabriel huffed, "I think you should consider yourself lucky that she's still alive. Think about how you were when you couldn't find her then."Curtis was at a loss for words.Although he was grateful that Margot was still alive, no o
"Alright, alright. Go to sleep now. I'll only leave when you're asleep," Tommy said. Not wishing to keep him from heading to work any further, Margot closed her eyes immediately and succumbed to sleep.When she woke up again, it was already the next day.As expected, Tommy was nowhere to be seen.After washing up, Margot went downstairs, only to see the man named Curtis sitting in the living room, dressed in a suit and tie. He was surprisingly quite charming.Despite her surprise, Margot still looked wary as she entered the living room. "What are you doing at my place?"Curtis looked up from his laptop and met Margot's gaze. "I'm here to talk to Tommy about work. Is he still asleep?"Margot furrowed her brows and said, "He went back to the crew to film last night. Why didn't you call him if you wanted to talk to him?"Was this man really the CEO of Regal Enterprises?How could he be so dense?"Oh, I see. In that case, we'll have to put off work for now." Curtis packed up his
