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?"
Margot and Laura spent almost an hour eating lunch.The pizza tasted really good, with just the right amount of cheesiness and greasiness, making Laura completely forget her worries. She couldn't stop eating even though she was sweating profusely.Margot looked at her and, fearing Laura couldn't handle it, quickly tried to comfort her, asking, "Are you okay? If you can't handle it, just stop eating. We can go out for some dessert."Laura shook her head. She could not stand it, yet she could also stop eating."Even though it's greasy, it's so delicious. I just can't control myself."She ate two more bites of pizza.Margot chuckled. "If you like it, I can bring you here to eat often. Just don't make yourself sick by overeating all at once.""Yeah, but I'm still not full yet. Let me eat a bit more."Laura ate more bites of pizza.Margot had already finished eating and was sitting beside waiting for her.At this moment, Jonas brought her a glass of iced water again and said under
It looked like Margot needed to start acting more like a boss from now on.After finishing up, Margot quickly left the washroom.As soon as she sat down, Laura informed her, "Your phone just rang, Margot."Margot quickly took out her phone from her bag and glanced at it.It turned out to be a call from Allison, who was far away in Koronia.She hurriedly called back.Allison quickly answered, and Margot hurriedly asked, "Aunt Allison, were you looking for me?"As soon as Laura heard it was Allison, she quickly signaled to Margot, saying, "Margot, make a video call with her and let her know what we are doing."Margot complied, requesting, "Allison, let's video call."Allison originally intended to discuss serious matters with Margot, but when Margot video-called her, she had no choice but to answer. She then saw Laura eating pizzas.She hummed. "I was wondering why Margot wanted to video call me; turns out you wanted to show off to me."Laura looked at the phone screen. Maybe
Allison clearly sensed Margot's guilt from her tone and quickly said, "Please don't take it that way, Margot. I'm not talking about you. I'm referring to Daniel. You didn't grow up with them, so you're definitely different from them."I sent Edna and her mother to Amberville. Just keep her company when you can, and you don't need to do anything else."Margot nodded quickly. "Okay, so when will you send them over?""In another two days. I'll help them get their immigration paperwork sorted first.""Immigration?""Yes, Edna said she wants to leave the Koronian royal family and start a new life with a different identity, so I arranged for her to go over to your side."However, Margot, don't tell anyone on Daniel's side about this. I want to make him regret it and ensure that he never finds Edna for the rest of his life."Margot nodded in agreement and said, "Alright, I'll follow your lead.""Alright, you guys enjoy your pizza. I'm going to hang up now."Before hanging up, Allison
Ashley was very perceptive. She quickly took Louis from Margot, giving the couple some private time together. She then went to the backyard alone so as not to disturb them.Curtis sat down next to Margot, wrapped an arm around her, and asked, "What's up? Miss me?"Margot glared at him and retorted, "Why has Aunt Allison been unable to reach you? Are you really that busy?"Curtis explained, "I was probably in a meeting and didn't have my phone with me at the time. I got in touch with her later. She said to bring Edna and her mother, Rosa Johnson, over and that I could make the arrangements.""Since you already know, I won't explain further. You don't need to arrange anything new. Just have Edna stay at Alice Manor.""Ever since Calvin and Natalie moved away, that place has been left empty. It's quite a waste."The important thing was that the environment there was nice and spacious. It suited Edna's identity as a princess.Curtis thought it was doable. "Okay, I'll arrange for a f
After listening to what Daniel said, Calvin really wanted to punch him. He gritted his teeth, feeling utterly frustrated."Daniel, can you stop being such an asshole? What will others think of us when they see us? You don't even have the most basic sense of responsibility as a man. Are you really planning to spend the rest of your life alone?"Everyone knew about the wedding with Edna back then.Even though no one in Emeria knew about it yet, the truth would eventually come out. If Daniel didn't take responsibility for Edna, how would he be able to maintain his reputation once the word spread?How could the much admired Morris family do something like this?Daniel sat there, his eyes downcast and looking listless, and said, "Give me a little more time. I'll go see her once I've thought it through.""How long do you need to think about it? I really didn't want to expose you, but are Zyla's photos really that good to look at?"No matter how beautiful she was, she's gone now. Do yo
