Gabriel no longer wanted to talk about it anymore. It was impossible to reason with Margot.Curtis tugged at Margot by his side and spoke in a low voice, "Don't meddle in their affairs, Margot."Margot eyed Curtis before shaking off his hand.She sent a message to Natalie anyway and told her that Gabriel would be leaving early the next morning.Upon hearing the news, Natalie immediately called Gabriel.Gabriel was still in the car when he saw the caller ID. He glared at Margot in resentment before answering the call.In the call, Natalie said calmly, "You can't solve the problem by avoiding me, Gabriel. Come back, and we can have a good talk so that we can part amicably."Gabriel pursed his lips when he thought that he was indeed in the wrong.He tried his best to lower his voice when he said, "I can do whatever you want besides getting a divorce. I'm not free to return if you were planning to discuss the divorce."Natalie said, "Do you really think we could still make it work
Curtis couldn't do anything if Margot didn't want to go home. He could only return on his own.However, during the night, he would still personally go over and bring her back home.…In the bright and spacious living room, Margot, Tommy, and Benjamin remained.Natalie did not return for the entire day.When she found out that Gabriel was leaving, she immediately went looking for him while bringing the divorce agreement.However, Gabriel was too cunning. She went to the company and the Sawyer Manor, even searching where Gabriel usually frequented, but she couldn't find him.Natalie sulkily returned home at 10:00 pm.The trio in the living room immediately got up to greet Natalie when they saw that she was back."Why did you return so late, Natalie? Have you had dinner yet?""Why were you out for so long, Mom?""Are the documents not ready yet, Natalie?"Natalie was tired as she walked over to have a seat.She said, "I've had dinner already. Did you miss me, Benjamin?""Yes
"When did she head back?" Curtis asked as he sat down casually.Tommy replied, "This afternoon. She only came here for a while and left soon after.""Is that so?"Curtis had an uncaring look as he looked toward Natalie and said, "Must you insist on the divorce?"Natalie placed Benjamin down as she looked indifferently at Curtis.She did not answer him directly but instead asked, "Do you think I shouldn't ask for a divorce?"Curtis replied, "I think there's still room for discussion in everything. Gabriel is at fault, but you should consider his desperate attempt in saving his daughter…""Can you accept it if this happened to you, Curtis?" Natalie interrupted him coldly.The way she looked at Curtis was how she looked at Gabriel—full of animosity.Curtis was rendered speechless at once.He let out a sigh and decided that it was too troublesome to meddle in their affairs.He then got up and said, "Come out and go back home with me."Margot pretended not to hear him and refuse
Tommy looked at Curtis' retreating back before turning to remind Natalie.He said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, Natalie. Both of them are in cahoots. He probably had forgotten all about how he treated Margot before she suffered from amnesia."Natalie lowered her head and said nothing. She wondered if what Curtis said was the truth.Has Gabriel liked her since high school? Did Camilla's mother really look like her?No! She cannot be swayed!So what if Curtis' words were true? Gabriel had crossed her bottom line and broke her heart.She would never choose to forgive him because of her personal emotions. She would not do that!"You should sleep soon, Tommy," Natalie said as she got up to hold Benjamin's hand before heading upstairs.Tommy was left sitting with his fists clenched. The veins on his forehead bulged.Since Gabriel refused to divorce, he would have to resort to necessary means then.…Once Margot was back home, she ran into her room and hid herself under the blank
"For what?" Curtis asked while looking at her.Margot replied, "You're feeling unwell. We should get you checked in the hospital to see if you're sick or have an upset stomach.""It's nothing. I'm usually healthy," Curtis replied as he got up and took her hand to head out.Margot looked at the way he had reassured her that he was fine. She thought that someone like him shouldn't be sick anywhere either. She shouldn't be worrying about him.When they were near the university, Curtis said, "I've arranged a chauffeur for you since I'm going on a business trip for the next two days. Just get the chauffeur to pick you up if you want to go home. If not, you can also stay in the dormitory."Curtis had gotten the university to assign a single room for her anyway.Margot replied casually, "I'll just stay in the dormitory then. It's a hassle to travel back and forth. I'll be able to sleep in for two extra hours if I'm staying in the dormitory."Curtis said, "That's fine. I'll come pick yo
Support a… younger man?Curtis' expression couldn't help but soured upon hearing Margot's words.He pursed his lips as he tilted her face up and warned, "Don't you dare."Margot glared at him and said, "Why wouldn't I dare to when you're already dead? Will you come to haunt me from the dead otherwise?"Curtis was speechless. Was she trying to provoke him?He hugged Margot tight in his embrace as he sighed and replied, "Don't worry, I won't die. I'll drag you with me even if I die.""I'm not dying with you," Margot replied.When their car passed a famous pizzeria, Margot suddenly said, "Let's have some pizza now! That pizzeria is famous. My coursemates always went there to eat."Curtis eyed the pizzeria by the roadside and saw that it was noisy and bustling with crowds.He replied, "We'll get Doris to make some for you if you want to eat pizza, Margot."Margot replied, "But the homemade ones don't taste as good as the pizzeria's."Curtis insisted and said, "But the pizzeria o
Gabriel had just lost his daughter. Naturally he wouldn't want to lose his son as well.He should be fine even if he went back and saw Natalie. What could she do to him if he insisted on not getting the divorce?In order to meet his son, Gabriel agreed and said, "Alright, I'll go over for dinner. Get Doris to prepare my portion as well."Curtis replied, "Okay."After the call ended, he looked toward Margot and asked, "Are you satisfied now?"Margot smiled as she took her phone out to send Natalie a message.…Once they got back home, Margot quickly got out of the car and ran into the villa to help Doris prepare dinner.Tommy had not worked for the past few days. He stayed home just to accompany Natalie and Benjamin.He brought Benjamin over when he knew that they were having dinner next door.Tommy only saw Curtis sitting in the living room once they entered the villa.He greeted, "Hi, Curtis."Benjamin also greeted sweetly, "Hello, Uncle Curtis."Curtis said, "Hello, Benj
Gabriel parked his car in the garden.Once he got out of the car, he looked at Margot and asked, "Is Benjamin here with you?"Margot's gaze shined as she gestured and said, "Yes, Benjamin's inside. You should head in and look for him."Gabriel didn't think much about it as he strode up the staircase to enter the villa.Margot followed behind him and quickly locked the door to the entrance.Once Gabriel entered the villa, he saw Curtis, Tommy, Natalie and his five-year-old son, Benjamin, sitting on the couch in the living room.Gabriel was standing there when he suddenly had a bad feeling.He felt as if he had walked right into a trap.As he was about to turn and leave, Margot walked over and smiled at him.She said, "Please head inside, Gabriel. We can have dinner once you're ready."Gabriel had no choice but to walk toward the living room.He pretended not to see the others as he neared them. He called out to Benjamin and said, "Come here, Benjamin. Dad has a gift for you."
