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
The few women were here intending to cause trouble.The leader of those women was half a head taller than Margot. She was dressed in branded clothes and covered in heavy makeup.She coldly gave Margot a once-over before snorting out a laugh.She asked, "You're Margot Stone?"Margot had also sized the other up and snorted the same way when she replied, "I am who I am.""Very gutsy of you. Is it true that you've rejected Royce multiple times?" the woman asked.Royce?Margot frowned as she recalled the person of that name.She hasn't seen him for a very long time.She looked at the woman and replied, "It's true. Do you have any problem with it?""You should call him now and tell him you're looking for him. Ask him to come back to the university."The woman took advantage of their numbers and tried to force Margot's hand. However, Margot wasn't just anybody else. She wouldn't let anyone walk over her.She coldly stared at the group of women and snorted a laugh.She said, "Is
It was only then that Tommy came back to his senses and released her. His burning ears made him squirm uncomfortably.Tommy said, "Have a seat. I've ordered a few dishes, see if you'll like them. If not, we could just reorder something else."Margot replied, "I'm not picky."She sat down and gratefully looked at the bright and handsome man sitting before her.She sincerely said, "I'm really thankful for what you did before, Tommy. If it wasn't for you, I would've ended up dead somewhere without anyone knowing."From now on, you're my number one savior. Just let me know if you need me to do anything. I'll go through hell and high water for you!"Tommy lowered his head as he laughed softly.He then picked up his cutleries gracefully to place some food onto Margot's plate. His gaze was gentle as he looked at her.He responded, "I'm not asking you to go through hell and high water for me. I hope you don't mind me asking, but how did the matter between you and Curtis go?"Margot ha
Margot couldn't understand why a company CEO would come over to her university during the noon instead of working in the company.She ignored him and told Tommy, "I'll head in for now, Tommy. We should meet up again when we're free next time."Tommy asked, "Aren't you going over to explain yourself? He looks upset."He had also noticed the person inside the car by the roadside.Recalling what happened at the Isle, he was rather afraid that Curtis might have misunderstood them again.Margot couldn't have cared less when she replied, "Why would I need to explain myself when I've done nothing wrong? Just ignore him. I'll head in now."Tommy replied, "Okay."After watching Margot leave, Tommy walked toward Curtis' car.Curtis had purposely come bringing lunch for Margot.His secretary had prepared his lunch for him. He thought it tasted good, so he'd asked his secretary to prepare an extra for him.Curtis happened to pass by the university before heading to the mall for inspectio
Margot was anticipating the gift. She quickly got off the bed and ran over to the university entrance.She saw Chester standing by the roadside. Nobody seemed to be inside the car beside him.She walked over and asked, "You're alone?"Chester opened the car door and signaled for her to get in while saying, "Yes. Please get into the car, Ms. Stone."Margot knew she had to go home everyday.She ended up getting into the car without much choice.After she was seated, she asked, "Where's the gift you mentioned?"Chester took some fresh flowers from the passenger seat and passed it to Margot.He replied, "Have a look at it."Margot took the fresh flowers over and unexpectedly saw an exquisite little box on top.She opened the box and saw that it was actually a diamond ring of an unknown carat. It was extremely beautiful and exquisite.She asked Chester, "Did he ask you to give this to me?"Chester replied, "Yes, this is your wedding ring. Back then, you guys got married suddenly
It was still early when Margot arrived home.It had been days since she last saw Natalie. Since Curtis wasn't back yet, she decided to visit Natalie at her neighboring house.Mary Fine, the Sawyer family's newly-hired nanny, opened the door for Margot.She had not met Margot before and had asked upon opening the door, "Who are you here for?"Margot smiled and said, "I'm looking for Natalie. I'm your neighbor.""Oh, so you're Ms. Stone from the neighboring house. Perhaps you should come over another day? It's not a good day today," Mary tactfully replied.Margot didn't understand and asked, "Why is today not a good day? Is Natalie not in?"As soon as she finished speaking, she could hear the voices of two people arguing from the villa ahead.Margot couldn't make out what they were arguing about.Mary immediately said, "You've heard it yourself. Sir and Madam are currently having an argument. It might not be appropriate to let you in for now."Margot was speechless.Natalie an
Margot, in particular, stood up and asked, "How could that be?"Calvin explained, "She said she ate a lot of cold-natured food, and when the kitchen refused to make them for her, she got upset. It's unclear whether she did it on purpose or if she just really wanted to eat those things.""Does Dad know about this?" Curtis asked.Calvin looked at him and said, "How would he know? The two aren't even together.""If Dad finds out, he'll definitely cause trouble for us again," Margot said, as she sat back with Louis.They found it frustrating how their dad seemed like a completely different person."It's fine, even if things get chaotic, it's not like we as his children will end up as enemies."Calvin reassured his sister, "Don't worry about it, we'll take care of this."Margot nodded.However, when she considered everything, she realized that Yasmine had still cared for Frederick for quite some time.She felt it was important for her to go and see how others were doing.That aft
In the coming days, Daniel and Edna stayed at home to take care of Frederick.Calvin and Margot were taking care of Natalie at the maternity center, and they were also looking after Louis.As for Curtis, he had been going back and forth between home and the maternity center.Anthony, apart from being busy with work, had assigned people to keep an eye on all of Yasmine's activities.As soon as he sat down in his office, his assistant came in with a cell phone and reported, "Sir, there's something urgent."Anthony picked up the cell phone.On the other end of the phone, the subordinate reported, "Sir, something bad has happened, that woman had a miscarriage."When Anthony heard this, he quickly stood up and asked, "What's going on?""I have no idea what happened. She just kept eating and eating a lot of stuff, and then soon after she started complaining about stomach pain. When the doctor arrived, they announced she had a miscarriage.""Let me speak to the doctor."At first, he
"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
