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
Even if Calvin said he didn't mind, how could Natalie even feel comfortable going outside if she actually weighed 200 pounds?She didn't want to go to gatherings with Margot and the others in the future. Everyone would look young and beautiful and have great figures, while she would appear large and ungainly.Women, no matter their age, always had a desire to look beautiful.She didn't want to keep gaining weight. After she gave birth, she would work hard to get back in shape."Anyway, after having dinner every day, you have to accompany me for a walk in the park," Natalie said.Calvin smiled, gave Natalie a quick peck on the cheek, and responded obediently, "Alright, whatever you say, darling. You must be hungry by now. I'll go make you something delicious to eat."Natalie didn't refuse and smiled as she watched him go to the kitchen.She wasn't sure when it started, but her tastebuds had become increasingly refined because of Calvin. She just loved eating the dishes he cooked.
Margot looked at Curtis and said, "It's still more than an hour away. Why don't you check if there's a pharmacy nearby and get some motion sickness pills first?"Curtis, who was driving, held the steering wheel with one hand and passed a bottle of water to Margot with the other."Why don't you drink some water first? It seems like there's no pharmacy nearby. How about I pull the car over, and we take a break?" he suggested.Rosa quickly replied, "No need. You keep driving. She often gets carsick. It'll pass in just over an hour."Curtis knew he couldn't stop on the highway right now, so there was no choice but to keep driving the car.Edna drank some water and felt a little better, but she still looked quite pale.Margot, worried about her, held her hand and tried to comfort her, saying, "Edna, just hang in there a bit longer. Once we get home, sleep well, and everything will be fine when you wake up.""Okay."Edna lowered her head guiltily, her eyes involuntarily looking towar
"Okay," Edna said. She was still obviously very uncomfortable as she sipped her stew with a spoon.Margot realized something was wrong with her.Was Edna's motion sickness really that bad? Some people got carsick and ended up vomiting quite dramatically.However, the way the second Edna was vomiting really resembled morning sickness.As a mother of two children, Margot was quite sensitive to small cues. However, she pretended to be unaware and continued eating quietly.Especially when she saw Edna eating, she noticed that she avoided certain items that pregnant women shouldn't eat. She was convinced that Edna was definitely expecting a baby.She felt a mix of surprise and concern.After finishing her meal, Edna felt uncomfortable and didn't want to spend more time with Margot and the others, so she asked to take a rest.Margot had the staff take Edna and Rosa to their room and sensibly chose not to disturb them any further.She sat in the living room and looked at Curtis."Yo
After arranging for things for Edna and Rosa, Margot and Curtis returned to the Crosby residence.Allison video called in the evening.Margot sat on the bed and answered the call.Allison said, "Take good care of her. There's something she might not want you to know about. If she doesn't want to talk about it, don't press her for it"Don't bother her too much; allow her and Rosa to live their own lives peacefully."Margot nodded.She frowned and asked, "What exactly is Aunt Allison talking about?""Edna is pregnant."Allison had no intention of hiding it from Margot. Letting Margot know wouldn't be such a bad thing.Margot suddenly widened her eyes and smiled."I noticed it when Curtis picked her up in the car. And during dinner, she was experiencing morning sickness."I just wasn't sure, but after hearing you say that, I'm not surprised at all."Allison replied, "It's good that you know, but don't tell that jerk, Daniel. Edna doesn't want to interact with him any more. She
After all, Margot was quite timid. "If you're not brave enough, just forget it and go to sleep," Margot said. She deliberately applied reverse psychology and pulled up the blanket as if she were going to sleep.There was nothing in this world that Curtis wouldn't dare to do.He immediately got out of bed and started getting dressed, glancing at Margot, who was still under the covers."Get up and move right now. If you refuse to go, I'll carry you there myself," he declared.Margot saw that he was getting dressed, so she pretended to get up slowly.After Curtis hurriedly put on his clothes, she immediately crawled back under the blanket to cover herself."Haha! You can go by yourself. I'm not going. It would be so embarrassing if someone found out."Curtis was already dressed and sitting nearby. He coldly snorted. "It's getting late. Get up."He forcefully pulled Margot up. He saw that she was wearing pajamas and was unharmed. At this hour, his parents were probably already as
Seeing that Curtis couldn't be reasoned with, Margot said, "Driving two hours just to get out of the city takes away all the desire. It's pointless to do anything afterward."Curtis couldn't help but glance at her again. "What's the matter? Is that all you've got?""Hmph!""Don't worry, I'm here. I'll make sure you can't resist."Just the thought of it excited Curtis.It was the first time he had ever been so excited that he found himself at a loss for words. Of course, he still drove responsibly.There was only one thought in his mind—quickly drive up to the hilltop in the suburbs.They could see most of the city's night view from there; it was a very beautiful sight.They could wake up in the morning and still see the sunrise.Margot figured there was no way out for her. Why not just choose to compromise?She leaned lazily against the side and looked at Curtis, saying, "Take your time driving. Don't rush. I'm here with you."Curtis glanced at her and couldn't help but laug
