"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
Curtis also looked at her and said, "I was also happy before, but today I'm especially happy. From now on, if you want anything, just let me know—I'll make sure you get it."If Margot hadn't suggested changing locations, he wouldn't have thought so much about it.Today, he truly felt ten times more powerful than before, as if the energy within him was boundless and never-ending.He could also see that Margot, who was in his arms, was very content.When Curtis saw Margot happy, he felt immensely proud.Margot looked up at him and asked, "Don't you think I look a bit… seductive like this?"It seemed like she was quite… proactive in this regard. She even wanted to go somewhere else to seek out more exciting possibilities.Curtis looked at her and playfully pinched her nose."I really like the sultry Margot. During the day, she pretends to be proper in front of others, but at night, she sheds that facade and becomes a slu—"He suddenly stopped, realizing he couldn't use those vulg
Margot put away her phone and glanced at Laura.Margot wasn't sure whether to tell Laura that Tommy was also at the pizzeria.After much hesitation, she decided not to say anything. She would just pretend they ran into each other by chance.Problems wouldn't be solved by avoiding the situation.Laura just needed to be brave enough to face it and have a clear conversation with Tommy so that she could understand it better.So, Margot didn't say anything. She took Laura 's hand, purposely teasing her, "Aunt Laura, don't be upset. You're so young, so why are you so sentimental? Come on, give us a smile."Laura couldn't muster a smile. She leaned against the side, unwilling to say a word.Curtis glanced at Laura and asked, "What's going on with you? It's been several days, and you're still so unhappy."Laura didn't say anything. She simply frowned and looked out the window.Margot looked at Curtis, who was driving the car."Don't worry about it. I'll take care of Aunt Laura's matt
But Tommy had always paid attention to Laura. From the moment Margot opened the door for her, he stared at Laura.When he saw Laura with her head down and was nwilling to even glance at him, he felt a bit uneasy and couldn't quite understand why.Pretending not to notice Laura's affection for him, Tommy laughed and said, "Laura, what a coincidence!"Laura glanced at Tommy briefly, then lowered her head even further. She didn't say a word and simply pouted with a face full of anger.Margot smiled and said, "Aunt Laura has been really into cheesy food lately, so I brought her here to try the food at my restaurant."She glanced at Tommy before saying, "I didn't expect to find you guys here. Today's meal is on me."Tommy said, "The boss is here, so of course, the boss is treating us."As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Laura.He poured a glass of water and brought it to her.Laura continued to ignore him and left an empty seat between them.Luna's gaze also fell on Laura, an
"When did the usually aloof and arrogant Mr. Crosby become so shameless in his speech?" Gabriel teased.Curtis flashed a slight smile and gestured to Laura. "Laura, come sit here."Laura stood still. If she moved over again, she would end up right next to Tommy, and she definitely didn't want that.Curtis wanted to sit next to Margot, so he coaxed, "Be good and sit there."Why aren't you sitting over there?"Laura was still sulking.Gabriel joked, "He's like a three-year-old, needing to be next to his wife; otherwise, he'll start crying."Curtis glared at him. "You're really asking for a beating, aren't you?"Curtis looked at Luna, gestured, and said, "Ms. Luna, please keep an eye on your husband."Luna and Margot stood aside and watched the situation unfold without getting involved.Curtis was bending over and gently coaxing Laura."Aunt Laura, could you please go and sit over there? I'll get you a handbag and some nice clothes later, okay?"Laura felt that Curtis really r
