Curtis remained silent, but it was evident that his patience had been maxed out.Drowning in anger, he was initially planning to pull away from Margot, who was underneath him.However, Margot was like a teasing little imp when she was taking the initiative.How could a man like him be able to resist her?Curtis finally yielded to her in a punitive manner.…It was already 12:00 pm the next day when Margot woke up.The sun was already high up.Margot rubbed her eyes sleepily as she sat up. She suddenly realized that she had nothing on her.Her eyes widened immediately as she stared down dumbfoundedly.It was more so when she had felt pain all over her body as if someone had dismantled and reassembled her.So had she … been taken advantage of by someone else last night?Margot immediately looked for her phone to call the police when she thought of it.However, she dismissed the thought of calling the police when she saw the familiar room she was in.Wasn't this her room?W
Margot was spacing out at home for the entire day.Her roommates had only woken up at noon. They called her to ask for her whereabouts and whether she was alright.Margot told them that she was fine. After she ended the call, she continued staring at the video Curtis had sent her. She was on the couch in the living room.So, she was the one that had forced herself on Curtis.It wasn't him that had taken advantage of her vulnerability.Why did she behave like this when she was drunk?If it was someone else, she would've been screwed for good!Margot rolled around on the couch angrily.She swore to never drink again in the future.Upon remembering something, she quickly took her phone and sent a message to Curtis.Margot texted, "Um … Did you put on a condom last night?"She felt extremely embarrassed when she sent the text out. She immediately cupped her burning cheeks as she anticipated Curtis' reply.Curtis was having a meeting in the room at the moment.The phone that wa
Margot busied herself eating during dinnertime. She didn't even spare Curtis, who was sitting opposite her, a glance.Curtis was expressionless, but his gaze was deep as he looked at her.He watched as she ate heartily before speaking leisurely, "From now on, you can't drink alcohol and enter bars. You also can't hang out with any other men."Margot lifted her gaze at him when she heard his words.She questioned, "Why must I listen to you?"Curtis replied, "You can only listen to me."He was back with his condescending attitude again.Margot gritted her teeth and said, "Who do you think you are? Since you don't want to divorce me, I'll head out and find other men just to spite you!"Curtis was speechless.He pursed his lips and convinced himself not to get angry with her.Margot was just in her rebellious phase. It was normal for her to want to disobey him.He had to coax her and not be forceful with her. Otherwise, it might just backfire on him.Curtis said, "You can fool
Margot returned to her room after finishing her dinner.She tossed and turned on her bed while thinking about everything Curtis had told her.Even though she found them reasonable, can relationships be forced?She was really troubled.…Margot couldn't sleep no matter how much she tossed and turned on her bed late at night.She didn't even realize it when Curtis entered her room. It wasn't until her head had moved to the end of the bed and she looked up that she saw someone above.Margot was startled and sat up with a jolt.She asked, "You … Why did you appear out of nowhere?"Margot looked alarmingly at Curtis, who stood beside her bed.Curtis had a gentle look as he said, "I can stay with you if you can't sleep. You used to like it when I hugged you to sleep."It was the same as the previous night.She had snuggled into his embrace after they were done. Not only had she fallen asleep quickly, she had a deep sleep as well.Margot's cheeks reddened when she heard his words
Margot watched as Curtis walked over to her. She placed the divorce agreement on the table without waiting for his explanation.She gestured at it and said, "Since you've already prepared it, you should hurry up and get it signed."He could dream on if he insisted on wanting her to bear him a child.Curtis frowned as he looked at the divorce agreement.Did Margot return early from the university for this?Curtis' expression darkened as he said, "You're really stubborn aren't you, Margot?"She refused to listen to him no matter how much he tried to persuade her, and she just had to make him angry.Margot's expression changed as well.She confronted him and shouted, "You're the one who prepared this divorce agreement, and I just needed to put my signature down. Why are you still delaying when everything's well-prepared?"Curtis replied, "I did prepare it beforehand. I just forgot to throw it away."He walked over and picked the agreement up. He then tore it up before throwing i
Margot hurriedly avoided Curtis' gaze when the blanket was pulled down. She then turned her back against him.Curtis' heart felt sore for some reason when he saw how she intentionally avoided him.He said, "I know you have a problem with me, Margot, but you have to understand something. I only want you to be alive and well by my side, and I don't want you to worry about anything else."I also hope that you'll actually treat me as family. You shouldn't constantly throw a tantrum or bring up a divorce."Curtis spent over ten hours working in the company daily and had to coax Margot when he returned home.It was fine when she wasn't making a fuss, but he felt exhausted everytime she was.There were also times when Curtis would feel despaired with a marriage like this.Margot frowned with a pout.She didn't know who to believe all of a sudden.What Tammy said was true, but Curtis' words weren't unreasonable as well.So, who should she believe in then?Curtis reached out and took
Margot finally cleared her thoughts after a night.She made it a point to head down for breakfast on time.This was the first time she had taken the initiative to sit opposite Curtis and have a meal with him.Curtis was dressed in a gray suit with a black shirt and a striped tie. The tailor-made clothes on his tall physique further accentuated his charms of a successful man.With such a handsome face, he was extremely attractive even while sitting casually.Margot couldn't deny that besides his overbearing and arrogant attitude, she couldn't find any other fault on Curtis.As such, she had decided to remain by his side to see what would happen.When Curtis saw Margot sitting opposite him, he gestured and said, "Eat up. I'll send you to the university after you're done."Margot nodded and continued eating for a few mouthfuls before she looked up at Curtis again.She said, "Actually, I wanted to divorce you because Tammy told me a lot about you. Anyway, in her words, you're not
But of course, who would like their love rivals?Margot wouldn't have liked Tammy at all, even if she were to meet her now.She then continued and asked, "How about Tammy then? What was her attitude toward me? Did she hate me?"Curtis thought for a while before replying, "I'm not sure what's in her mind, but her actions were rather generous. She has forgiven you multiple times for the things you've done to her."Margot was speechless.Upon watching Curtis and hearing the words he'd said, she somewhat knew what was going on now.Margot laughed for a bit before lowering her head to continue eating.Curtis asked, "Why were you laughing?""Nothing."Margot could already tell how much Curtis had made her suffer because of Tammy back then just by hearing his perception of her.As for Tammy, it seemed like she was rather two-faced.She could've told Margot everything the first time they met on the Isle.However, she didn't tell her then. It was only after she met Curtis that she h
