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
That afternoon, Curtis' car pulled up to the entrance of Crestwood University on time.Margot got into the car with her cheeks flushed. She dared not look at him, so she opened the car window and kept gazing outside.Curtis looked at her and asked, "What's the matter?""It's nothing. I just wanted to get some fresh air.""Look at me." Curtis tugged at her.Margot reluctantly turned to face him.As she studied Curtis' handsome and compelling face and his seductively prominent Adam's apple, a scene from the movie she had just watched with her roommates in the dormitory flashed into her mind.She suddenly felt parched and gulped. She even felt her heart racing."Margot, are you alright?"Curtis noticed Margot looked flushed, so he reached out and pinched her cheek.Margot shook her head, swallowed hard, and hurriedly shifted her gaze."I'm fine. What could possibly be wrong with me?""But your face is flushed.""It's because it's too hot.""Isn't the car's air conditioning t
Wendy hurriedly walked toward the household staff's room.Margot withdrew her gaze and noticed Curtis was also looking at Wendy. She suddenly felt a bit annoyed. "Does she look good?"Curtis had just shifted his gaze away from Wendy when he looked at Margot and frowned in confusion. "What are you talking about?""You can cut the act. You were obviously looking at her."Curtis admitted to it. "I did look at her, but I've already forgotten what she looked like."He held her hand and led her upstairs.Margot angrily pulled her hand away."Are all men really into that kind of sexy figure?"Curtis was somewhat bemused as he looked at her and asked, "Are you feeling jealous?"Margot furrowed her brows, feeling a bit puzzled. "What do you mean by 'jealous'? I'm asking you a question here!""I don't know about other men, but the only one I like is you." He wrapped his arm around her as they walked upstairs.Margot pursed her lips, finding it a bit hard to believe.Curtis saw her do
Margot received a kiss so intense that it left her breathless. She immediately blushed and used her hand to push Curtis away. "Curtis, please don't do this."Curtis moved to kiss her neck. His voice was low and seductive as he asked, "What do you mean?" "I'm just having trouble sleeping, so I came to talk to you. Please stop touching me."A playful smirk played on Curtis' lips as he teased her, "You really don't want me to touch you?"Although she liked him very much, she still pretended to be reserved.Didn't he already know what kind of person she was?"Then, are you really going to treat me well all the time?"Margot felt a bit insecure. In her opinion, Curtis was an outstanding man, and she felt unworthy of him.Fearful that she might lose everything despite giving him her all and loving him wholeheartedly, she hesitated.Building upon Tammy's previous statements, despite lacking the means to verify the truth, she, at the very least, was confident that the tragedy had occ
Whenever Curtis was in a good mood, he would always be gentle and patient with Margot.When he had time before heading to the office, he would help her wash up, change clothes, and even put on her shoes.In any case, he pampered her as if she couldn't take care of herself.Having recently placed her complete trust in him, Margot experienced a heightened sense of security and happiness within her heart.After dropping off Margot at the entrance of the university, Curtis hurried off to the company.Margot glanced at the time and realized it was almost noon.As she approached the entrance, she suddenly saw the new occupant of her former dormitory room getting out of a black car that had just parked nearby.Initially, it wasn't a big deal. However, Margot accidentally caught sight of the man behind the wheel of the black car, and he seemed somewhat familiar.She quickly hid behind the large tree before her, tilted her head, and carefully scrutinized the man in the car.She was sho
That afternoon, Curtis arrived punctually at the university to pick up Margot.Margot was greeted with a bouquet of sunflowers when she entered the car. They were particularly vivid and beautiful.She accepted the bouquet and looked at Curtis with a smile. "Are these for me?"Curtis hummed in acknowledgment. "You're actually quite romantic."Seated beside him, Margot held the flowers and took a deep breath, savoring their delightful fragrance.Curtis pulled her into his arms and habitually kissed her on the forehead.Margot didn't refuse the gesture. She took out her phone and took pictures of the flowers, then took a selfie.After taking the pictures, she put away her phone and asked Curtis, "Curtis, can I ask you something?""Sure, go ahead."Curtis gazed intently at her. The woman before him was just like the bouquet of flowers in her arms, so beautiful that people couldn't bear to look away.Or perhaps he was afraid that if he looked away, she would suddenly disappear.
Despite Natalie's smile, the pain in her eyes was unmistakable and couldn't be concealed. "What could possibly be wrong with me? Don't worry, I'm fine.""But you were crying just now."Margot wondered if Gabriel really cheated on Natalie. However, it seemed impossible.Margot couldn't reconcile the image of Gabriel, a well-dressed and refined man, with the idea that he would engage in something immoral. She considered the possibility that she might be overly paranoid."I just miss my child a little bit." Natalie's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.Natalie lowered her head, trying hard to conceal the pain, but she just couldn't hide it.Margot immediately asked, "Where's your son? Did something happen to him?" Natalie shook her head and said, "He's with his grandparents.""Why don't you visit him and bring him back to live with you?""They wouldn't let me."As she thought about how her in-laws had always kept her child away from her ever since she had handed him over to
