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
To Margot, Doris was just like family. All these while, Doris had been taking care of her. Yet Margot never had the chance to get to know about Doris' family situation.Doris smiled kindly and replied, "There's no need for it, Ms. Stone. Your good intentions are enough."As soon as Margot heard that, she knew Doris was facing some difficulties.She quickly said, "Just tell me, Doris. I'll see if I can help you."Doris hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "I have a daughter who's younger than you by two years. She failed her college entrance examination this year."I wanted to send her to a vocational college, but she wasn't willing to go. I was just wondering what to do."Margot frowned as she asked, "You're saying I should find a job for her, Doris?"Doris was rather embarrassed as she replied, "She's only 18 years old. Which company would dare to hire her when she doesn't know anything? Unless she works in the factory."Margot was speechless.She was trying to think
Margot rolled around on the soft bed as she repeatedly patted herself on the face.She couldn't understand why her heartbeat would speed up and her face would blush when Curtis scooted closer to ask for a kiss earlier.They were already married for quite some time.Even though Margot had forgotten about him, they just had sex two days ago.What was with her acting like she was experiencing her first love now?Was she starting to like him now?Margot, oh Margot. She really was shameless.He just had to bribe her with something, and she was sold with just a diamond ring. She really was useless.Margot sat up and crossed her legs as she meditated and took deep breaths to calm herself down.She shouldn't be further tempted by Curtis.He was a cunning man. It would be hard for her to escape once she fell for his traps. However, who could resist having a daily pocket money of ten thousand and a reward of a hundred thousand that would go into their account? There were even endless
"Would you sleep with a stranger?" Curtis resumed the conversation in a serious tone as he looked at her affectionately.Margot's face fell when she heard his words."What the hell are you talking about?"Curtis replied, "That means I'm not a stranger to you. You just have a grudge deep down, and you don't want to fully accept me."Perhaps it was because of what Tammy had said to her.Curtis had to resolve the grudges she held in her heart. Otherwise, she would never fully accept him.Margot ended up pulling her own hand back with her might."I don't even know if it's really because I'm holding a grudge. You should just let me do it at my own pace anyway. Don't force me," Margot said with pursed lips.She then turned her head to look out the window.Curtis was somewhat disappointed and stopped pressing further.…After arriving at the university, Margot entered the campus without looking back.Somehow, she was out of it for the entire day.Even though she was looking at th
Just as Margot went back into her room for a bath, she received a call from Curtis.She accepted the call and asked, "What do you want?"Curtis said, "Come out now. I'm at the university entrance."Margot couldn't contain her laughter as she said, "I'm already home now."Curtis was bewildered.Margot continued, "I'm going to take a bath. I'll hang up now!"Her attitude toward Curtis had gotten much better now when she recalled the way he had treated her well.Curtis sighed and replied, "I'll see you soon!"Margot ended the call and took her clothes into the bathroom.…Curtis had hurried home after.Just as he was changing his shoes in the hallway, he was seen by Wendy, who just came out of the kitchen.Wendy was stunned as she stared dumbly at Curtis by the entrance. She was rather shocked.Doris had told her that her employer was a very capable entrepreneur.However, she didn't know that that entrepreneur was this young, handsome and tall.Wendy was momentarily lost in
Margot replied, "What do you mean I'm ogling? You're saying as if I'm inexperienced. Don't forget that you've even slept with me. A figure like yours would just be considered normal. Don't be too full of yourself."She reached out a hand to pat his shoulder before stepping away from him to leave.Curtis raised his arm to trap her between the wall, but his arm was positioned too high. Margot could easily slip out from under his armpits with a duck of her head.She pretended to shout angrily, "Stand aside, I'm going out!""Your face is red, Margot," Curtis said with a gentle voice as he slowly closed in on her.Margot quickly reached for her cheeks. They were indeed hot.She stepped back when she saw Curtis coming close to her. The more she retreated, the more he closed in.It was up until Margot hit the end of the bed and fell onto it.Curtis bent down and scooted closer to her. He was looking at her with an affectionate gaze. His deep and magnetic voice was melodious to her ear
Margot was busy eating in the dining room downstairs. She was embarrassed to look at Curtis, who sat opposite her.However, Curtis kept staring at her.When he saw that she was eating in a hurry, he reminded her and said, "Slow down. Don't choke yourself."He had even gotten her a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her attentively.Margot's gaze automatically went to Curtis as she was drinking the soup.When she saw the way he kept staring at her, she asked, "Why are you looking at me? Am I that pretty?""Yes, my Margot had always been pretty," he praised her generously.Margot was vain to begin with. She got even more smug when Curtis praised her like that.She tried to hide her shyness by tilting her head, when she saw Wendy looking in her direction from the living room.Or to be exact, Wendy was looking at Curtis, who was opposite Margot.Margot pretended not to notice it.She continued eating while asking, "How about you give me a driving lesson this weekend?"She h
"You can save your goodbyes for yourself." Curtis didn't want to waste any more time with her, so he immediately hung up the phone.…Tammy, who was at her high-rise villa, angrily smashed her phone.How could Curtis treat her in such a manner?Since he was treating her like that, she would repay him.…Curtis finally returned to his room after working in the study until 9:00 pm. He went straight to the master bedroom and pushed the door open.Margot didn't lock him out, much to his surprise.Curtis confidently strode into the room.Margot was sprawled out on the bed, holding her phone and answering some practice questions.When she saw Curtis walking in his loungewear, she sat up and looked at him. "What are you doing here?"Curtis' lips lifted into a beguiling smile, and his voice carried a seductive tone as he said, "Let's pick up where we left off."He stood by the bed and began to undo the buttons on his loungewear.Margot was caught off guard by his actions and nervo
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
