Curtis reached out and embraced her as he spoke in a gentle yet beguiling tone, saying, "Don't be scared, Margot. I know you can do this.""I really can't do it! When the car starts moving, I get so scared. Please don't make me drive anymore. Can't you just arrange a chauffeur for me?"She turned around, knelt on the seat, and threw herself into his arms.Curtis hugged her tightly as he stroked her hair and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to learn how to drive?"Margot nodded. "I'm really scared.""It's actually not as difficult as it seems. You'll get used to it after a few tries.""I really can't do it!"She sensed that it wasn't a matter of attempting a few more times; rather, it seemed more likely to be a psychological issue.As soon as the car started moving, she couldn't concentrate on driving since she was constantly worried about getting into an accident.Curtis decided not to make things difficult for her. He hugged her tightly and said, "Alright, if you're scared
Didn't Royce drop out of university?Why did he add her on Facebook?Margot's mind had blocked out all the pain and suffering she had experienced in the past. So, naturally, she didn't remember who Royce nor Anthony was—the people who had caused her miscarriage.As a result, she immediately accepted his friend request on Facebook.Immediately afterward, the other party texted her. Royce: "Margot, are you free to talk on the phone?"Margot glanced at the man who was driving, and then she thought about how Royce had liked her and even pursued her in the past. She felt that, as a married woman, it was better for her to keep her distance from other men.Margot: "I can't talk right now. If you have something to say, you can just tell me right here."Royce: "I'm sorry for what happened back then. I'd like to apologize to you in person."Margot: "What do you mean by 'what happened back then'?"Royce was momentarily taken aback.How come Margot didn't know what he was talking about
"What's your plan for the divorce? What if the Sawyers want to fight for custody?"Natalie smiled again and said, "Do they even deserve it?"She was the one who gave birth to Benjamin, and she was the one who single-handedly raised him to this age.Besides, her child was very smart and had the right to make his own choices. Even if Gabriel wanted to fight her for custody, he wouldn't be able to succeed."Mom…"In the distance, a child's innocent voice rang out.Natalie glanced over and saw Mary bringing the child back from the backyard. She beckoned and said, "Come here, Benjamin. Let me introduce you to my pretty friend."Benjamin ran over and threw himself into his mother's arms. His eyes sparkled with curiosity as he looked at Margot.Margot was also looking at him.Although they had seen each other before, Benjamin didn't really know who Margot was.Naturally, he wouldn't have anticipated that the pretty lady before him would eventually become his future mother-in-law."
After finally putting his daughter to sleep at the hospital, Gabriel walked out of the ward. However, before he could even say a word to Curtis, a man in a suit approached him.The man gave a slight nod and passed an envelope to Gabriel."Are you Mr. Sawyer? I'm here to deliver the documents from Ms. Nelson. Please sign it within three days and return it to her. If you fail to do so, she'll take legal action against you in a week."Gabriel felt a sense of foreboding. He opened the envelope in front of Curtis and pulled out the documents.As soon as he saw the words "Divorce Agreement", his usual unyielding and aloof face was marred with pain.He looked at Curtis and let out a bitter laugh. "See, I told you she's heartless. My daughter's life is on the line, and she's pushing me to get a divorce."Curtis consoled him, "Don't let this bother you. A woman can do anything when she's angry."This was something he had a profound understanding of. After all, he had also been handed div
Tommy's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Benjamin. Margot explained, "Gabriel has a daughter who is terminally ill. She needed Benjamin's bone marrow for a transplant to save her. That's how it went, I think.""What?" Tommy was flabbergasted. "Gabriel has a daughter?"Why wasn't he aware of this?It was understandable that Natalie wasn't aware of this since she had been abroad for several years. However, he was in the country, so why didn't he know that Gabriel had a daughter?Tommy looked at Margot and agitatedly asked, "Where is Gabriel?""He should be at the hospital with his daughter," Margot murmured.Tommy was enraged. He turned on his heel and stormed off to find Gabriel, but he was stopped by Natalie, who had just come out of the kitchen."Tommy…"Tommy stopped in his tracks, turned around, and quickly approached his sister, his eyes full of concern. "I'm so sorry, Natalie. I didn't know Gabriel had a daughter. Don't worry, I'm going to find him and settle thi
"I know it's not the right thing to do, but I'm just so angry." Tommy crouched on the ground, his face buried in his hands as he struggled to control his rage."Margot, you can't imagine what my sister has been through all these years, raising a child on her own. She had the baby without telling our family. She was still studying and raising the child on her own in a foreign country."It wasn't until recently, when she returned with the child, that we learned she had given birth to a child on her own abroad, and that child was Gabriel's."When Gabriel found out about this, he immediately went to find my sister. My sister agreed to be with him in order to provide the child with a complete family. "I never thought Gabriel turned out to be such an asshole. He was so eager to marry my sister, but it was all for the sake of saving the daughter he had with another woman."Is he even a human being? Benjamin is only five years old! How could he even think of forcefully taking his bone ma
Furthermore, the incident between Margot and Royce happened not long ago.Margot asked, "What do you mean I enjoy hugging other men?"Curtis' remarks hurt Margot deeply.She gazed at his indifferent expression under the streetlight as she explained, "I was just trying to stop him from going to find Gabriel. We—""Do you think I'm blind?" Curtis interrupted her and bellowed, "Do you think I'm too old to have a clear vision now?"Margot, you're just taking advantage of the fact that I dote on you, so you kept hurting me again and again without any restraint. If it weren't for the fact that you're young, I would really want to give you a beating."Curtis really didn't want to deal with her, so he walked past her and left.He was afraid that he would lose control of his temper and hit her. Just like that one time when he forcefully spanked her bottom.Margot stood frozen. Curtis' words were like daggers piercing into her heart. A sharp pain stabbed her chest, making it difficult fo
Margot didn't expect Curtis to actually let her go.His actions undeniably propelled her, someone already insecure with a fear of abandonment from their time together, even farther away.She bit her lip. Gazing deeply into Curtis' eyes, she hesitantly asked, "Do you really want me to leave?"As long as he nodded, she would really leave.In fact, she always felt like she wasn't worthy of him. She actually felt a lot of pressure being with him.Curtis didn't actually want her to leave. He just wanted to vent his anger. However, he said nothing, turned away, and walked to the walk-in closet. Margot stood there forlornly, her head hung low.In the end, as the man went to change clothes, she turned and walked away.Still, she only went downstairs to the living room and stayed there.Curtis came out after changing his clothes, but Margot was nowhere to be seen. His heart skipped a beat.He was really afraid that she actually left, so he hurriedly walked out of the room.When he s
