Curtis had organized the destination for the trip, which happened to be on a private island. He was well aware of Margot's fondness for the sea.During one of his business trips, he happened to come across an auction for a tourist island. He bought it and renamed the island "Margotte Isle" without much thought.Initially, he planned to give the island to her as a gift on her birthday.However, since she wanted to go to the seaside right then, he decided to take her there to familiarize her with the environment.Two cars pulled up to Curtis' private airport, one after the other.Margot got out of the car and spotted Natalie and Gabriel in the distance. Although she was feeling down, she still ran toward them with a smile on her face. "Natalie!"Natalie turned around, spotted Margot approaching, and greeted her with a smile, "You're here, Margot!""I see that it's just the two of you here. Why didn't you bring your kid along?"Natalie smiled gently, took Margot's hand, and boarde
Margot felt a sense of an impending breakup looming over her as well.At that moment, she was probably feeling the same way as Curtis. Experiencing a common struggle, they probably had much to discuss."She's very stunning, and she's definitely one-of-a-kind. Although she's not exceptionally outstanding, I like her very much." Curtis gazed at the person frolicking before him, his eyes full of tenderness. It had been a long time since he had genuinely admired her.It became evident that his heart found contentment in her presence by simply gazing at her smiling face. It turned out that he had loved her all along.Margot clicked her tongue.Margot shook her head, glanced at the man beside her, and sighed. "You're so outstanding and good-looking. How could anyone bear to break up with you?"Curtis trailed behind her, his voice soft and regretful. "Maybe I didn't pay enough attention to her feelings back then. She must have been too disappointed in me, so she chose to leave me."M
Tommy skillfully maneuvered the speedboat to shore, then jumped off, holding a bouquet of white roses in his arms.With a lean stature and well-dressed figure, he walked toward Margot with a smile that could melt hearts.Although Margot was still upset, her anger instantly dispersed when she saw Tommy walking toward her with a bouquet of flowers.Tommy walked up to Margot and presented her with the flowers, ignoring the three people standing beside her."I'm sorry for coming late, Margot."Margot had always been someone easily persuaded. She would always forgive the person she loved as long as they treated her well and didn't do anything out of line.She accepted the flowers with a pout. Then, she uttered in a slightly annoyed tone, "I thought you weren't coming."Tommy gently pinched Margot's chubby cheeks and said with a smile, "Why wouldn't I come? I've already promised you that I'll accompany you."Margot, who was pinched by Tommy, blushed and threw herself into his arms.
Margot said, "Tommy, show me how the photos turned out."Tommy snapped out of his daze and lied to her. "I haven't gotten the settings right yet. Go back, and I'll take it again.""You're so slow," Margot grumbled as she walked toward the sea again.It was only then that Tommy seriously took some photos of her.When they had taken enough photos, they walked hand-in-hand along the beach.After walking for a while, Margot felt a bit tired and hot. She saw a coconut grove in the distance and said, "Tommy, let's take a break over there. The sunlight is so intense now.""Sounds good to me."Tommy held her hand as they walked into the coconut grove.They settled in a shady spot facing the sea. The sea breeze instantly made them cooler and refreshed.Margot leaned on Tommy's arm and then pointed to the glaring sun with a smile on her face."It's so beautiful here! The beach is a beautiful shade of pink, and the sky and the sea are crystal blue. Most importantly, I'm accompanied by s
Margot stared blankly at the tall man before her. She didn't understand what he was saying.What did he mean by saying any man can casually touch her and win her over?What did he take her for?Margot felt so humiliated, and she glared at Curtis with unbridled fury."Who are you to say that to me? Tommy is my husband, and what I do with him is none of your business. Who are you to judge others?" "He's not." Curtis angrily responded to Margot, his face a mask of fury."What did you just say?"Margot was suddenly caught off guard.Curtis glared at Tommy. Unable to withstand it, he revealed, "He is not your husband.""Do you think I don't know who my husband is? Why are you being so ridiculous?"Margot couldn't hold back and shouted again, angrily dragging Tommy along. "Let's go, Tommy. We shouldn't get involved with someone like him."However, Tommy withdrew his hand from her grip and looked at Margot, saying, "He's telling the truth.""What did you say?"Margot turned to l
Margot had nearly lost her life twice before, and both times were all because of him.Should Margot suffer harm again due to his impulsive actions, Curtis didn't think he could forgive himself for the rest of his life."Understood. First of all, place her on the ground and hold her up.Although there was no medical equipment here, Gabriel still had a method he could employ.He held Margot's head in his hands and found the acupuncture point that could alleviate the pain. After applying pressure to it, he asked, "Margot, does it hurt here?""It hurts so much! It's so uncomfortable! Please just knock me out! It's too painful!" Margot cried out as tears streamed down her face.Her once rosy complexion was now pale and ashen, and her lips had turned purple.Curtis and the two people next to her were scared out of their wits by the sight of her eyes rolling back in her head.Gabriel was the only one who remained calm and gently told her, "Margot, be good. Just hold on a little longer
Curtis was aware that Margot was still very resistant to him.He didn't dare to take another step forward. He pulled out his phone and opened the photo of the marriage certificate that Doris had sent him. Then, he carefully handed the phone over to her."Please take a look at this first, and then we can get back to it once you're done."Margot saw him hand over the phone, and she reached out to take it.She lowered her head to look at the phone screen, and her pupils suddenly dilated.She found it a bit incredulous, and she repeatedly scrutinized it.Margot was stunned When she confirmed that it was a marriage certificate and the names on it belonged to her and the man before her.Was she really Curtis' wife?Why didn't she recognize Curtis while only remembering Tommy?She clearly remembered that it was Tommy who had saved her. He was also the one she had fallen in love with and then married to. How come it turned out to be Curtis?Margot was still having a hard time accep
However, Margot was certain that it was definitely not because they loved each other.How could such an outstanding and wealthy man like him fall in love with a penniless orphan like her?She felt like she was out of his league, so she had to leave him."Margot, you don't have to be stressed about it."Curtis was getting a little anxious, and his voice became hoarse. "I can fulfill any of your wishes, but the only thing I can't agree to is a divorce."Or, can you give me some time? I'll do everything I can to make you fall in love with me again. If I can't do it, then you can leave me, alright?"He was actually pleading with her. He had never shown such humility before.Margot was surprised by his sincerity and began having second thoughts.Curtis' gaze was terrifyingly bloodshot, vividly displaying the intense pain behind it."Margot, I've nearly lost you twice now, and I don't want to lose you again. Please don't leave me. It was all my fault in the past. I didn't take good
