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
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
"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
"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,

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
