He had been helping her?Margot wiped away the tears on her cheeks and turned to look venomously at Curtis who was standing on the steps.She shouted furiously, "Do you need to hold her so tightly to help her? Do you need to kiss her?"Curt, she clearly has a place in your heart. No one will think you're an asshole if you admit that you like beautiful women. That's just how men are."You like her, or else you wouldn't have brought her back. This is our home—the home you bought for me. Did you think it would be exciting to have sex with another woman in our room?""Margot."Curtis cut her off sternly. "You don't have a good memory, do you? Since you like throwing tantrums so much, then leave. And if you leave, don't come back."He was mad, and the energy he was giving off was frightening.He had just helped Tammy because she was about to fall. How did it become a kiss?He was just creating trouble for himself if he stayed with such an unreasonable woman.Margot was so upset th
Divorce …Hearing Curtis say those words broke Margot's heart. She felt like she was suffocating from the pain.She was in distress. Her throat was so swollen she couldn't even say a word.She slumped down to the ground slowly and curled up on the floor in despair. She had no idea what to do.Curtis wanted to get divorced. What would happen to her and the baby?She sobbed and had no courage to answer him. Curtis' cold voice rang out again. "Margot, I'll give you ample financial security, and I won't neglect you in the future, either."Margot forced herself not to lose control of her emotions, despite tears trickling down her cheeks like broken strings of pearls.But she couldn't suppress her sobs as she said tragically, "Curt … thank you for saving me, and thank you for looking after me for all these years. Thank you for fulfilling my wish and marrying me."Curt, I won't get in the way of you marrying someone else. You're so resourceful. You'd still be able to get divorced
At the restaurant, Curtis ordered an entire table full of food that Margot liked.Seeing that Margot wasn't eating much and hadn't even touched some of the food, he asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is the food not to your taste?"Margot shook her head."Then, why are you eating so little?""I'll eat more fruit."Margot took the plate of fruit and began eating big mouthfuls.Curtis elegantly put a piece of steak in his mouth and swallowed. He looked at Margot, saying, "Will you come back with me after we eat?"Margot nodded obediently. "Okay.""Don't throw any more tantrums in the future.""Okay." She nodded again.As if she had suddenly thought about it, Margot looked at him and asked, "Curt, do you really not need me to have babies?"At this, Curtis looked at her. "You're still young and are currently studying. You don't need to have babies right now.""What if I'm already pregnant?" Margot blurted out.Curtis frowned. "Already pregnant?"Margot hurriedly shook her head a
Curtis went upstairs, and the first thing he saw when he entered the room was Margot lying on the bed. She was kicking on the side of the bed with her short legs as if venting her anger.Curtis walked over and asked, "Are you angry again?"Margot didn't bother to raise her head. She kicked the bed again and replied resentfully, "No.""That's good, then."Curtis did not have the patience to keep comforting the two women. He went into the dressing room to change.After a long period of silence, Margot slowly turned her head to search for Curtis.Seeing that he was in the dressing room, she got up slowly and approached him gingerly. She asked him in a low voice, "Curt, are you going out?""Yes. I'm going to the office."Curtis paused in the act of tying his tie and looked at Margot. "Come here."Margot went over obediently and stood in front of him.She was rather short. Even with shoes on, she was only five feet two. On the other hand, Curtis was over six feet tall when he had
Upon receiving the address of the bar, Margot immediately took a taxi to the location without thinking much.She found the private room Violet had mentioned and pushed the door open. "Margot, you're here."Margot nodded as she took out a gift she had brought from her bag.She handed it to Violet as she said, "Happy birthday."Looking at the gift, Violet hesitated for a moment.Then, she accepted it with a wry smile. "Thank you. Come, have a seat. I ordered some drinks. It's just the two of us today, and we're not leaving until we're drunk."Upon seeing several bottles of opened alcohol on the coffee table, Margot sat down and said, "I'm allergic to alcohol. I can't drink."Truth be told, she couldn't drink because she was pregnant.Violet's face changed as she asked, "How about non-alcoholic drinks?"Margot shook her head. "I'm allergic to food coloring as well. I'll just have water."As she reached for a bottle of mineral water on the coffee table, she noticed that the cap
Someone dared to scheme against the people around Curtis. It was as if they were fed up with living.Without further questioning, he looked toward the office door and said, "Come in."Chester immediately entered and nodded. "Mr. Crosby.""Go and investigate what happened to Margot today. I need the results by tonight."As Chester nodded and was about to leave, Margot added, "It happened at Enchanting Bar. If you can't find anything there, you can ask my roommate, Violet."But, please don't reveal my identity. You can claim to be the police, and she will cooperate with you."Chester understood and quietly closed the door as he left.Margot redirected her gaze and nestled back into Curtis' arms. She hung her hands around his neck.Curtis reminded her, "Don't make baseless assumptions without evidence.""Hmm?" She sat up straight and looked at the man in front of her.Furrowing her brows, she asked, "Do you think I'm wronging Tammy?"Curtis' expression wasn't as pleasant as bef
The moment Tammy leaned in for a kiss, Curtis leaned away with a stern expression.He gazed at her and inquired, "Can you see now?"Feeling flustered, she quickly replied with a guilty conscience, "No, I can't.""If you can't, then don't move around. Just stay here. I'm going to change into something more comfortable."With that, he got up and left her behind, taking big strides as he ascended the stairs.Inside the room, Margot, in a fit of anger, threw a pillow onto the floor. She stomped on it a couple of times to release her frustration.Curtis' attitude just now was quite perplexing. He seemed to enjoy Tammy leaning on him.He had claimed that he accommodated Tammy to make amends for the harm she had suffered.From Margot's perspective, it seemed like perhaps even he couldn't resist the temptation of a beautiful woman.It appeared that men were all the same—whenever a woman made the first move, they wouldn't refuse.Margot felt a surge of anger and stomped on the pillow
Later that night, Curtis tended to Tammy until she went to bed.When he was returning to the master bedroom after that, he received a call from Chester."Mr. Crosby, we've conducted the investigation. The security footage at the bar has been destroyed. We couldn't identify the one targeting Ms. Stone yet," Chester said over the phone.Curtis pursed his lips tightly as his face grew extremely serious."Is this the best you can do?""I'm sorry. I'll intensify our efforts," Chester replied.After ending the call, Curtis strode toward the master bedroom.Margot was already lying in bed.She felt uneasy, particularly about seeing Curtis getting closer to another woman. She didn't know how long she could endure this situation.Upon hearing footsteps approaching, she slowly sat up.She saw Curtis, who hadn't changed into his pajamas yet, walking straight toward her.Standing in front of her, his handsome face bore no expression as he asked coldly, "Do you really think she's pretend
"Could it be that he misses you and wants to bring you home?"Edna nodded with a smile.Natalie couldn’t help but say, "People in love are like this; they can't stand being apart for a few hours. You should head back quickly."Even though they were a married couple and already had kids.However, they might still be in the honeymoon phase.So Natalie and Margot understood the current situation between Edna and Daniel.Edna bowed her head, feeling quite embarrassed.She lowered her voice and said, "Daniel told me not to leave the room. He's coming to pick me up because it's raining outside."Her eyes were filled with joy and happiness.Margot and Natalie exchanged a glance and smiled at each other, genuinely happy for Edna.Of course, they were also relieved and pleased that Daniel had finally broken through his emotional defenses and genuinely accepted Edna.Daniel arrived half an hour later and brought a coat for Edna.He briefly greeted Natalie, checked on the two children
Louis was very happy to see his mom, sticking close to her all the time and not responding to her uncle's words at all.Margot didn't believe it for a second and left the house while holding Louis.In an instant, he caught sight of Curtis standing next to the wall.She looked at him somewhat resentfully. "What are you playing at with all this mystery? I actually thought Louis was sent by you."Curtis smiled and embraced both mother and child warmly."I wouldn't dare. If I lost the package with Louis inside, you would definitely be furious with me.""If you lose my Louis, I'm going to be really upset with you."Margot, ignoring Curtis, carried Louis into the room.Curtis followed her inside.Looking at Natalie on the bed, he smiled and said, "Congratulations! You got yourselves a pair of kids."Natalie had incredible luck; she ended up having twins, a boy and a girl, which was something that happened very rarely.Natalie responded with a smile, "Thank you, and I heard that on
Considering Frederick's current attitude toward the three brothers, sending the food personally would definitely make him angrier.So it was best for them to steer clear for now.In the dining room, four men were sitting together.Curtis rarely spent time alone with these three men, and it made him inexplicably anxious.He was worried that if he did anything they didn't like, they might "fire" him as their brother-in-law."After you resolved your brainwashing spell, there haven't been any complications, right?" Daniel asked.Curtis looked at him and said, "Not really, I've always been wearing this sachet that my daughter gave me. I've heard from Branden that it's supposed to protect me from brainwashing spells."Actually, that sachet only helped to relieve his headache.It was not to destroy the brainwashing spell.It was actually done by Branden on the sachet, using his special techniques.It was good that it got resolved.Daniel raised his beverage cup and said, "Congratul
Curtis was really taken aback. He had made a special trip from far away to see his father-in-law who had just returned, only to be met with such an unexpected attitude.However, being the junior, there was no choice but to keep smiling and continue on."Mr. Morris Senior, there's no need to get upset. It's not a big deal, and there's no need to have any unpleasantness within the family."Frederick glanced once more at Curtis, reminding himself that this was his daughter's husband, and made an effort to soften his expression."I really didn't want to have a conflict with them, but they insisted on going against me."Curtis stood nearby and cautiously began to speak, "I think you should focus on taking care of your health right now. Once they help you get the prosthetic fitted, and you're able to stand and walk, do you think they'll stop you from doing what you want?"First, Curtis came up with a temporary solution. Once the elder had calmed down over time and understood the challe
Calvin shook his head in exasperation and said, "When it comes to being self-absorbed, no one can compete with you."He asked the little kid in his arms, "Isn't that right, Louis? Are you happy to see your uncle?"Louis had a soft, fair complexion and a very adorable smile.Louis, who was quite smart, looked at Calvin with bright eyes and replied enthusiastically, though not very clearly, "Ha-happy, I feel happy to see uncle."Calvin exclaimed, "Wow, my little nephew is truly smart. You're just over a year old and already know how to respond to me.""You should think about who's the one who gave birth to him.""Heh."Seeing Curtis about to indulge in his narcissism again, Calvin glanced at him and scoffed, "You should consider who this child is born to. Don't forget, this little boy is half from the Morris family."Curtis was speechless.He didn't want to argue with him. He just stepped forward, opened the car door, and got in.Calvin carried the child and got on the bus.Th
Yuuken was terrified as he angrily shouted at Anthony, "What are you trying to do? I saved your father's life! Is this how you treat your benefactor?" Anthony was losing patience and he couldn't be bothered with any further explanations. He simply motioned to the men beside him. A group of bodyguards stepped forward and began beating Yuuken mercilessly. They struck him until he was sprawled on the ground, blood pouring from his mouth, unable to even crawl. He never imagined things would turn out this way. If he had known that returning with the Morris family would lead to such a fate, he would have taken the money he had already received and started a new life elsewhere.He looked up at Anthony and pleaded tearfully. "Mr. Morris, I know I was wrong! Please, spare me!"Anthony sat elegantly, exuding nobility, and glanced at him disdainfully. "Do you know why I had you beaten?"Yuuken thought for a moment before replying, "Is it because I wasn't satisfied even after taki
Yasmine thought about it and agreed. After all, this family seemed well-educated and reasonable. So, she relented to her brother. "Alright, you can go with him, but come back early. Later, you can take me to see it too.""Alright."After using his hand to wipe his mouth, Yuuken hurriedly walked toward Anthony and said, "Let's go, take me there now. Is the castle like the one your family lives in? Does it have lots of helpers and a butler? Are the household staff young? I don't want old women serving me"Anthony's expression darkened immediately as he turned to lead Yuuken out. His thin lips pressed into a tight line, and he chuckled coldly. "Don't worry. They're all young women in their twenties, beautiful as flowers.""Really?"Yuuken believed him and even patted Anthony on the back. "You really do get me."However, Anthony shot him a cold glare.His entire demeanor exuded icy hostility and it made Yuuken feel intimidated. He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, alright? You
Calvin would never let his sister pick up Curtis by herself. He said, "I'll go pick him up. You can go to the maternity center and spend some time with Natalie."Margot didn't argue with him and agreed. That evening, she prepared some food and went to the maternity center with Edna. In Natalie's room, seeing Edna and Margot each holding a baby, she asked worriedly, "So, in the end, that woman will be welcomed into the house?"She had heard about Frederick's situation and she was shocked. A man in his seventies was still able to have a woman carry his child... If words got out, how could his sons face the public? Did he not care about his own reputation anymore?"Judging by Dad's attitude, it seems he's determined to bring her into the house. We'll try to persuade him again."Margot didn't want Natalie to worry about family matters. She held the baby and walked over to Natalie. She changed the subject and said, "Natalie, look, this baby looks so much like you."Edna c
No matter what was said, his children ultimately wouldn't agree with him. Feeling frustrated, Frederick set down his cutleries, leaned back against the headboard, and closed his eyes. "Alright, you can leave now. I'm going to rest."Margot glanced at the barely touched food and tried to persuade him. "You should eat a little.""I can't eat. I'm full from the anger you've all given me."Margot stopped trying. She stood up and carried the tray downstairs. In the luxurious and spacious living room downstairs, the three brothers, Edna, and Lena were sitting together and discussing their father's situation, trying to figure out how to handle the Coran siblings. As Margot walked downstairs with the tray, she overheard them and said, "Dad wants us to deal with Yuuken but keep Yasmine for now."Everyone looked up at her, and Anthony was quite surprised. "Dad wants us to deal with Yuuken?""Mmhm, I told him about Yuuken's poor character, and Dad listened to me. He said you could ha
