Tommy gently explained to Laura as he looked at her, "I've been with Yvette Simms way before she joined the show. We just never made it public. Have I been taking care of her too much? Is that why it was so obvious to you?"But since you've figured it out, please don't tell anyone else. If this gets out, it could have a negative impact on her."Tommy was simply being very considerate toward Yvette's feelings. He was completely oblivious to how his words were like sharp needles that pierced deeply into Laura's heart.Laura was very surprised to find out that Tommy actually had a girlfriend.It was also the same person who constantly looked down at her and had openly admitted to having an affair with their mentor.The man she admired ended up being with the person she disliked the most.They actually turned out to be a couple…Laura couldn't accept the reality of it and found it hard to contain the pang of bitterness she felt in her chest. She got up without saying a word as her e
It was fine as long as they had whatever they needed to have. If one wasn't marrying someone they truly loved, getting married would only lower the quality of life and add unnecessary worries.Why did people have to live just like everyone else did in life?If only his parents hadn't cared about him, he would have wanted to live alone for the rest of his life.Margot immediately realized what she shouldn't have brought up and quickly said, "Alright, my bad. I shouldn't have rushed you. With how good-looking and successful you are, getting married is an easy feat, isn't it?"Tommy sneered and sarcastically remarked, "Stop flattering me. How could I possibly look as good or be as successful at making money as Curtis?"Margot glared at him, wanting to slap him.Tommy quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Alright, let's stop chatting and go out to look for Laura. I noticed she hasn't been very happy lately. It's like she has something on her mind.""Okay."Margot followed closel
Tommy read it and suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.He motioned to Margot and said, "You call her, and I'll take it once the call connects.""Okay."Margot did as she was told, and soon, the other party answered. She quickly handed the phone to Tommy.Tommy was feeling somewhat annoyed and suddenly shouted at Laura, "Laura, what do you mean by this? Haven't I treated you well during your time at the training base?"Why do you want to leave as soon as Margot arrives? You know this might make others think I mistreated you."Laura was surprised to hear that Tommy had answered the phone.She struggled to control her emotions, wiped the tears from her cheeks, and said coldly, "I decided to quit training because I found it boring. Is that not allowed?""What do you mean by 'boring'? If it was boring, why did you join in the first place?"Tommy lost his temper and continued, "Laura, I don't care what kind of mood you're in, but nobody here is going to put up with your
Curtis stepped forward, raised his hand to knock on the door, and called out to the inside, "Laura, open the door."During the few days since they returned, Laura hadn't been home. She said the training base was in a closed setting and that they weren't allowed to leave.Of course, they also asked Tommy how Laura was doing over there.Tommy had told them that she was fine, which reassured them.What was going on that made Laura lock herself in her room and refuse to see anyone?Laura heard Curtis' voice at the door.In this household, she wasn't afraid of anyone except for Curtis. That's because he was very fierce.Fearful that Curtis might barge in, Laura sat on the bed and yelled toward the door, "I'm fine; it's just that my period started, and I'm feeling emotional and cried a bit. Why do you keep bothering me?"Margot only felt relieved after hearing Laura's response.Ashley also breathed a sigh of relief."Oh, I see. In that case, there shouldn't be any big issues. Let's
What Margot meant was that if she actually became pregnant, she would still be willing to give birth to the baby.Curtis smiled and reached out to hold her hand. "Let's just go with the flow. If it happens, we'll have the baby, and if not, that's okay too."Margot nodded.Having children really was a matter of fate.The Crosby's saw that the young couple had their own plans and ideas, so they didn't say anything more.After finishing her meal, Ashley packed some food to take upstairs for Laura.Margot quickly put down her fork and stood up to take it."Ashley, I'll give it to her."Ashley was aware that Margot and Laura hadn't a significant age difference, and they got along well without any generational gap.Perhaps Laura preferred to speak honestly with Margot.Ashley didn't refuse and handed the tray to Margot.Margot came to Laura's door carrying a tray and called out from the hallway, "Aunt Laura, I've got your food ready. Can you open the door so I can bring it in for
The moment Laura heard Tommy mention Yvette was his girlfriend, she didn't say a word and just got up and ran off.Afterward, in a fit of rage, she insisted on quitting training.Regaining her composure, Margot looked at Laura and straightforwardly asked, "Aunt Laura, do you really like Tommy?"Laura was crying, but when she heard Margot's question, she suddenly stopped and froze.She hurriedly pulled away from Margot's embrace while crying and avoiding her gaze, unsure of how to respond.Margot couldn't believe it. Their aunt, Laura, had actually fallen in love with Tommy.Tommy was exactly 12 years older than Laura.Well, age wasn't an issue, but the seniority level…Well, if the two of them truly loved each other, then things like social status really wouldn't matter. The only problem was that Tommy already had a girlfriend now.Plus, Laura was only 17 years old.This was going to be a difficult situation.After not hearing Margot speak for a while, Laura turned her head
"What's wrong with Aunt Laura?" Curtis asked.Margot casually replied, "You know exactly what it's like to experience first love at her age, so there's no need to keep asking."Curtis was at a loss for words. Laura was at the age of experiencing one's first love… Did that mean she had someone she liked? Was she crying because of a breakup?Curtis still felt a bit uneasy and reminded Margot, "I'm a guy, so it's hard for me to talk to her. You should ask her properly and see if a man is bullying her."Margot felt a bit helpless and said, "No, Aunt Laura knows how to protect herself. It's just a case of wanting something but being unable to have it."Curtis was a smart person.The feeling of wanting something but not being able to have it was probably similar to having a crush.As he walked, he said, "Okay, I won't say much. But keep an eye on her and ensure she stays on the right path.""I got it," Margot replied…That evening, Margot was still worried about Laura, so she de
Ever since Laura went out on her own yesterday and mentioned wanting to quit the training, Tommy hadn't been able to sleep all night.He didn't understand what he did wrong to make Laura so angry.He was strange, too; he kept thinking about it and didn't sleep a wink all night.Margot didn't want to hide things from Tommy.If he found out, he should know how to behave appropriately with Laura in the future."Do you really want me to tell you?"Tommy was a bit puzzled. "What's up? You can't tell me? Or did she complain to you, saying I bullied her?""Tommy, did you treat her very well when you were with her?"Margot didn't answer Tommy's questions straightforwardly.Tommy didn't deny it and said, "Of course I have to treat her well. If I don't treat her well, do you think Curtis will let me off the hook?""But do you realize your kindness led her to mistakenly believe…" Margot wanted to tell Tommy more but hesitated.Tommy persistently questioned, "What do you mean by that?"
