"Don't worry. I lost control earlier. That's why I acted that way. This 50cc will be enough," Curtis assured.Margot finally gave in and allowed the doctor to finish the treatment.Calvin quickly served the custom-made pork liver oatmeal from a restaurant, scooping it with a spoon to feed Margot.Margot needed to boost her iron levels, and even though she really didn't like eating pork liver, she forced herself to eat them anyway.While eating, she began to smile optimistically and teasingly said, "How come your cooking skills seem to have gotten worse, Calvin?"Calvin honestly said, "This was custom-made from the restaurant, not by me.""Oh? I thought you went back home and made it.""Nope.""I'll do the feeding!" Curtis reached out to take the bowl from Calvin.Calvin didn't argue with him, but just in case Curtis had another outburst, he stayed nearby and kept an eye on him.He felt awkward as he watched the couple exchange loving glances and display their affection for ea
Lena held Margot's hand reassuringly and said, "Nothing's going to happen to Curtis. Don't worry. Isn't Calvin with him?""That's true."Margot relaxed and felt at ease as she returned to the Crosby residence to visit her in-laws and her beloved son.By the time the two of them reached home, it was already dark.The housekeeper saw that Margot had finally returned, and she quickly ran into the living room to report, "Mr. Elias. Ms. Anderson. Mrs. Crosby has returned."Ashley and Elias were playing with Louis, and when they heard the housekeeper's shout, all three of them looked toward the door at the same time.Upon seeing Margot walk in, Ashley quickly approached her while holding Louis in her arms. "Louis, look who's back!"Margot greeted her in-laws first, saying, "Mom, Dad. Thank you so much for taking care of Louis these past few days.""It wasn't hard work. Having Louis around is what makes life interesting for Elias and me."Seeing Lena, Ashley smiled and said, "Lena is
On the cell phone screen, Louis' face appeared, looking fair and soft. Curtis felt his heart ache, and despite himself, he couldn't help but feel his eyes welling up with tears again.When Louis saw Curtis, he softly called out, "Daddy, hug me… I want a hug from Daddy…"Curtis swallowed the lump in his throat and said with a choked voice, "Daddy can't hug you right now. Be good and stay by Mommy's side. Listen to her, okay?""Daddy… I want a hug…"Louis might be a bit unclear in his speech, but his intention was obvious. He extended his arms to reach out for Curtis through the cell phone.Curtis watched Louis' actions and felt uneasy in his heart.He repeatedly urged Margot, "It's better if you don't let him see me. I can't hold him, and that would make him sad and disappointed.""Okay."Margot understood how Curtis was feeling and quickly turned the camera toward herself. She noticed Curtis didn't look very well, and she felt a bit worried."Are you having headaches again? A
"You're five weeks into your pregnancy. Since your health isn't the best, you must watch out for …"Margot Stone didn't hear what the doctor said afterward. All she heard was that she was pregnant.She was pregnant …She couldn't believe she was having his baby.Didn't this mean that their contract marriage would now turn into a real one?Margot was over the moon. She remembered that he was returning from his business trip tonight, so she grabbed her pregnancy report and dashed home excitedly.As the sun set and the sky began drizzling, Margot returned home completely drenched.As soon as she entered the house, her housekeeper, Doris, rushed over with a towel to dry off Margot's hair."Oh, look at you! You'll catch a cold at this rate! Hurry upstairs and take a warm bath."Still, Margot kept beaming from ear to ear.She bent over to change her shoes. That was when she saw a pair of well-polished leather shoes on top of the shoe cabinet.Pleasantly surprised, Margot spun arou
Margot knew Curtis had given her a lot, and she shouldn't cling to him.However, she was pregnant with his child, so she must think for her child as well."Are you trying to start a fight, Margot?" Curtis' scowl deepened.Standing beside the bed, he looked down at Margot but didn't explain why he was marrying the other woman.Margot didn't want to anger him, but she couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.Working hard to keep her emotions in check, she replied, "I just want to know if you'll stop talking to that woman if I have a baby with you."She was giving him a chance.Curtis pressed his lips together, displeased. Without hesitation, he said, "We will still be getting divorced, just not now. Don't worry. You can have anything you want when we get divorced."Hearing this, Margot shut her eyes as hot tears rolled down her cheeks.Her heart throbbing, she threw herself across the bed, unable to stop her cries any longer.Curtis watched her sob, and his heart began to ache
Margot clung to Curtis as she kissed him passionately and resentfully.No normal man would be able to resist such temptation, including Curtis. He wrapped his arm around her and began kissing her back.He tossed the divorce papers into the table drawer with his other hand before lifting Margot. They slowly made their way upstairs, their kiss never stopping.The journey was easy due to how light Margo was.It was only when he placed her on their bed that Margot realized she shouldn't be doing this in case their actions might hurt her baby.So, when Curtis leaned closer to her, she quickly pressed a hand against his chest.Curtis, having lost all reason, was insistent on kissing her.Margot knew what the kiss would lead to, so she frantically stopped the man. "Stop! I'm not feeling too well, so why don't we stop here?""Too late," Curtis groaned hoarsely. He was about to carry on, but Margot hurriedly pushed him away and curled into a ball at one end of the bed.Curtis was confu
Margot was puzzled. Who could it be?Curiously, she headed toward the campus gates where she was greeted by a middle-aged man.The man greeted her politely, "This way, please, Ms. Stone."Margot followed the man to a car waiting by the roadside. The man opened the door, and Margot spotted a well-dressed lady sitting inside.Margot didn't know who the woman was, so she remained standing and on guard.The woman in the car said, "Come in. I'll take you out to lunch."Margot didn't respond, so the other woman continued, "I'm Tammy Vaughn. I don't know if Curt has ever mentioned me."Tammy …Margot recalled seeing this name on Curtis' phone and realized this was the woman he was going to marry.Immediately, Margot was filled with animosity against the woman. She snapped, "What are you here for?"From her seat, Tammy regarded Margot patronizingly. "I just wanted to chat about Curt. Why? Are you afraid of me?""Afraid of you, a shameless mistress?"There was no way Margot was scar
Margot was taken aback. "What are you talking about?""Listen, from now on, don't bother Tammy. Be good and don't put me in a tough spot, alright?"Without letting Margot answer, he continued, "That's it. I'm hanging up now."Before Margot had time to defend herself, Curtis had already ended the call.Margot's blood began boiling as she came to the realization that Tammy had tattled on her first.How dare that woman go whining to Curtis when she was the one who approached Margot?Margot was frustrated but could only drag herself back to campus.For the next two days, Margot stayed in school and never sent Curtis a single text. However, Curtis didn't take the initiative to contact her, either.Friday soon arrived, and it was time for the highly anticipated lecture.Margot was sitting at her desk dazedly when Quinn began to sweep through her things to look for her phone.Finally, Quinn found it. She was about to run out when she spotted Margot still sitting there, so she asked,
