Margot got ready, left the dormitory, and went to meet Sarah.Both of them came to a halt at the tree-lined area not far from the dormitory. Margot stood not far away, watching Sarah, who had her back turned toward her. To Margot, Sarah had always been a reserved and introverted individual, and she dressed quite conservatively as well.If Sarah and Gabriel didn't have that kind of relationship, perhaps they could have become good friends.Margot approached her and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"Sarah looked at her, her face a mask of sorrow."Although I don't know of your relationship with Gabriel's wife, can you please ask her to save Camilla?"Margot was rendered speechless. How could she do that? Natalie was the victim here."Margot, my sister died shortly after giving birth to Camilla. I have always been taking care of Camilla. If she wasn't sick, I would have never gone to find Gabriel."Sarah cried with her head lowered, saying, "If I hadn't brought Cami
Curtis was still in the office, his expression grim. It was evident that he was in a foul mood.Chester dared not meet his gaze, so he stood timidly beside him with his head lowered.Following a moment of silence, Curtis voiced his decision. "If she enjoys staying at the university so much, arrange a dormitory for her. Assign two people to keep an eye on her. As long as she stays within the university grounds, she's free to do as she pleases."Still in a foul mood, he couldn't bring himself to pick her up personally.Considering Margot hadn't responded to his calls, he couldn't lower himself to plead with her again. He needed to assert himself. He couldn't always allow her to have her way.For several consecutive days, Margot didn't receive any calls or messages from Curtis, and no one arrived to pick her up from the university.However, when Margot thought about Natalie's situation, she decided to take a cab back to the Royal Villa on Friday. Instead of returning home, she went
"Natalie…"Margot sat down next to Natalie. She reached over to hug her, knowing that Natalie was upset.Natalie couldn't hold back her tears.She cried while hugging Margot tight and said, "Am I in the wrong, Margot? I just want to protect my child from harm. What rights does he have to blame me for that?"The fact that his child with another woman couldn't live has nothing to do with me!"Margot patted Natalie's back as she consoled her softly, "You're absolutely right. Don't feel burdened about this, Natalie. It was all his fault. He has no right to blame others."Margot knew that the child named Camilla was pitiful as well, but she was born unlucky.She could only wish Camilla could be reincarnated into a complete family in her next life, with a healthy body and caring parents.That way, she would no longer need to suffer from sickness like how it was for her now.Natalie said, "I feel hurt, Margot."She was sobbing as she tightened her arms around Margot and said, "He on
Tommy came downstairs and said, "You should head back, Margot. Curtis wouldn't jump to the wrong conclusions if you explain things properly to him."Margot was speechless.She followed Doris home in the end.Once she entered the house, she saw Curtis sitting on the couch in the brightly-lit living room. He looked elegant, dressed in his loungewear.Margot saw that his expression was extremely dark. She, too, wasn't happy at all and headed upstairs without saying anything.Curtis wordlessly eyed her retreating figure.He sat in the living room for a while before heading upstairs. He stood hesitatingly outside before finally entering the master bedroom.Margot had already taken her place on the bed, right in the middle.She knew that Curtis would never come and sleep in the master bedroom. As such, she didn't save him any space.Curtis stood tall beside the bed. Despite being unwilling, he lowered his pride and got onto the bed to lay beside Margot.Margot did not move aside. C
Royce…?Didn't he send his men to kill this person? Why was he still alive?It was one thing that he was still alive. But now he was even in contact with Margot?Curtis held tightly onto the phone. His gaze was cold when he looked toward Margot, who had her back facing him on the bed.He did not question her right away. Instead, he tried to suppress his anger and went to the side to call Chester.Once the call was connected, he screamed in a despotic manner, "How do you even handle things, Chester? Do you want to die? Tell me, why the hell is Royce still alive?"Don't bother showing yourself anymore if you don't get both his hands chopped and sent to me within three days."Curtis' loud bellow surprised Margot.She immediately sat up and dumbly looked at Curtis, who was making a call.Margot didn't understand why he would lose his temper suddenly. He even wanted to chop Royce's hands off.Curtis saw that Margot was finally looking at him now.His expression went dark. With an
Royce endured the pain on his face and the blood pooled in his mouth as he explained his relationship with Margot to Curtis.He also told him about how the miscarriage happened.Royce said, "It was like this, even though I like her, she had rejected me all these while. I stopped bothering her after I found out that both of you were married. I only went after her because I was worried when she went out alone.""I'm really sorry about what happened with her baby, but Margot is innocent. I'm afraid that you'll misunderstand her, which is why I'm willing to take the risk and come back to explain everything to you.He continued, "Everything I said was true, Curtis. If I lied, you could tear me apart, and I wouldn't even complain about it."Curtis was speechless.He stood there stiffly. He couldn't believe what Royce told him was the truth.If that really was the case, he had been incredibly wrong then.Upon recalling something, Curtis looked toward Royce and said, "I've asked the do
She wasn't even close to Royce in the first place. Why would he accuse her of cheating?Margot felt that she was being wronged.She refused to dwell on it and closed her eyes to force herself to sleep.Suddenly, the door to her room was pushed open.Margot could make out a looming shadow from the dimmed wall lamps. The next thing she knew, she was covered entirely by the shadow.She caught the scent of Curtis' unique cologne. That scent was supposed to give her a sense of security, but she suddenly felt uneasy.She was afraid that his mood swings would make him push her away all of a sudden.As such, Margot decided to push him away first before he could even do so."Margot…" Curtis sounded hoarse when he called her. He wanted to hug her.Margot raised her hands to stop him.Her voice was nasally when she said, "Don't touch me! I'm afraid of you now. Go away!"She burrowed into the blanket and pulled it over to cover her head. She didn't want to look at him.Curtis sat unmov
Tommy got up and helped to get Benjamin dressed. He then brought Benjamin to wash up before heading downstairs together.Margot was setting the table in the dining room.When Benjamin saw her, he smiled brightly and happily shouted, "Aunt Margot!"Margot bent down with her arms open to greet him when she saw him running toward her.Benjamin ran into her embrace and kissed her on the cheek before greeting, "Good morning, Aunt Margot!"Margot replied, "Morning, Benjamin."She found him adorable while caressing his face.Tommy was dressed in loungewear as he walked over, looking bright and handsome.He looked at Margot and greeted her lazily, "Good morning, Margot.""Morning."Margot gestured and said, "Come sit and have breakfast."Natalie served the last of the oatmeal onto the table.She was scooping some oatmeal into the bowls as she said, "I'll be heading home to prepare some documents later. Tommy, Margot, please help me look after Benjamin."Tommy asked, "When are you
Frederick glared at his son, who was looking at him. "What, didn't you hear what I said?"Anthony said in a calm voice, "Got it.""How is she doing now? Where have you arranged for her to be?""Dad, don't worry, she's doing fine," Anthony continued measuring."It better be this way, because if you dare do anything to my people, you're not going to have a good time either."Frederick was stubborn. After eating a bit and losing his appetite, he put the bowls back.Seeing his son moving sluggishly, he couldn't help but impatiently snap at him, "Hurry up and get the prosthetic done for me. I'm only giving you three days. Can you do it?"Anthony put away the tape measure, feeling a bit impatient."Dad, for just three days, you might as well use a walking stick instead of getting a prosthetic. Can my prosthetic even compare to an ordinary one?"Frederick was really frustrated and smacked him on the arm."What kind of prosthetic do you have, and how long does it take?""My prosthet
"I don't understand what you mean. It was clearly your dad who insisted on being with me in the first place."Yasmine was arguing vehemently, staring at Margot with a defiant unwillingness to admit defeat.Margot laughed and said, "My dad lost a leg, and according to him, he was bedridden for a few months before he slowly recovered. How could a crippled man like him force you to do anything?""Anyway, I don't care; it was only because he wanted to do it with me that I went along with it." She continued to cry out, "You are completely heartless, you took away my child, and I will never forgive you for this."Margot was speechless.She had encountered shameless people before, but she had never seen anyone as shameless as this woman.She didn't want to waste time with her because no matter how much she explained, Yasmine would not listen.After a moment of silence, Margot sighed and said, "Take a good rest and take care of yourself. Since you took care of my dad for some time, we w
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
