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
"Does the boss need any more dishes? I can bring it over for you," Jonas offered."No, these are enough," Margot said casually."Okay." Jonas nodded and then said to Margot, "Boss, if you need anything, just call me, I—"Before he could finish speaking, his arm was suddenly grabbed.Curtis pulled Jonas away angrily with a sullen expression and asked, "Can you speak from the side? Why are you standing so close to her?"He was a sensitive person; he felt uncomfortable whenever a guy was standing next to Margot. Not even a waiter couldn't do that.Jonas was pulled away. He glanced at Curtis and quickly explained, "I was just pouring water for the boss.""Why do you keep a bit of distance when pouring water for everyone else but get so close when it's her turn?" Curtis was annoyed by the greasiness of the cheese and spoke to Jonas in a much colder tone.Margot thought that since it was her own employee, she couldn't ignore the situation.She grabbed Curtis' arm, saying, "Enough. I
Tommy ignored the struggling Laura in his arms. There were some things he needed to clarify with her. Instead of taking her back to the private room, he left and went to the basement parking garage of the mall.He threw Laura into his car, gazing at her sternly and seriously, and called her by her full name. "Laura Crosby, are you aware of what you're doing?"Laura was still crying, and her face was covered in tears.Her eyes were red as she glared at him. She gave him a look filled with grievance. "Why do you care what I do? Does it have anything to do with you?""What you do is not my concern, but I know you're doing it because of me," he said.Tommy looked at her coldly and said in a harsh tone, "How old are you? Look around, do you see any other girls going to the bathroom to drink beer like you? You're really something else.""Who said I'm doing this because of you? Don't flatter yourself."Laura didn't want to face him. She wiped the tears from her cheek and made a move to
Tommy felt that Laura should give up on him. He then opened the car door so she could get out whenever she wanted.Laura suddenly froze. For an inexplicable reason, despite having gotten a definite answer, she didn't cry as heart-wrenchingly as she did before.Instead, she calmed down and sat there, lost in thought. Although she still felt heartbroken, she no longer wanted to show that she cared about him.He clearly told her that he liked someone else, and if she kept making a scene in front of him, it would be very undignified of her.It would also make others think that she had no morals and that she was trying her best to seduce someone else's boyfriend.Since Tommy made his stance clear, she naturally wouldn't have any inappropriate thoughts about him anymore.Laura wiped the tears from her cheeks and agreed with what he said. "Alright, I will let go, forget, and distance myself."It seemed like she had truly given up. She didn't look at him again. She simply opened the car
