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."
Soon, Gabriel walked out of the washroom and sat down beside Natalie.His gaze went from Benjamin to Natalie. He had mixed feelings despite not saying anything.Before he started eating, he took a slice of pizza and offered it to Benjamin.Gabriel spoke in a low voice, "Eat up, Benjamin."Never had he thought that Benjamin would push away the pizza he offered in disgust.Benjamin glared at him and shouted, "I don't want pizza from you! You're a mean Dad! I hate you, don't talk to me!"His words meant no harm, but Gabriel still felt each word piercing deep into his heart.He endured the pain and offered the pizza to Natalie by his side while saying, "You should eat up as well, Natalie."Surprisingly, Natalie replied amiably, "Thank you, the same goes to you too."Gabriel was surprised when he heard her words. He stared at her with reddening eyes, but Natalie did not look at him. While she was eating, she also talked to Margot with a smile.Margot asked, "How was the pizza, Nat
The air was unexpectedly chilly during that night.Natalie had dressed lightly when she got out. As she strolled along the neighborhood garden with Gabriel, she couldn't help but rub at her arms when the cold wind blew.Gabriel took off his blazer and draped it over her shoulders.Natalie did not reject it. They walked side by side as the dim lights elongated their shadows in the dark night.The entire neighborhood was quiet, even more so when none of them spoke a word.When Natalie saw a rest shelter no further from them, she said, "Let's go over there.""Okay," Gabriel said and gestured for her to walk before him.Both of them entered the rest shelter one after another and sat down.Natalie said lightly, "It feels like time goes by quickly, and we became adults in the blink of an eye. Of course, I never imagined that the boy that I couldn't get along with back when we were young would now become my husband."Gabriel lowered his head with a sorrowful expression.Natalie turn
The revelation left Natalie thunderstruck in place.What exactly was going on with her family?No wonder her parents looked ashen when she returned home. They were constantly persuading her against getting a divorce when she mentioned that she wanted to do so.She could even see paparazzi sneaking photos around her house occasionally.Was it true that her parents were really in trouble?And Tommy, what scandals would he possibly have?Natalie got up to run after Gabriel and stopped him to ask, "Tell me clearly, what exactly is going on with my family?"Gabriel took his cell phone out and handed it over to her.Natalie was dumbfounded when she saw the evidence of her parents' crimes. She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Tommy gathering with a group of men.Her tears welled up around her eyes unwillingly."You're the one who's doing all these, right? You framed my family just to force me to stay by your side, all because you didn't want me to divorce!"Gabriel looked at
Curtis didn't argue with her, and instead, he took her hand and led her inside.Margot noticed that despite Curtis' stern demeanor, he still showed care for her through his actions. She smiled knowingly and playfully asked while walking beside him, "What, can't find me at certain times and you're worried I ran off with someone else?"Curtis glanced at her and scoffed."Would you dare? If you dare run off with someone else, I'll break your legs."Despite speaking harsh words, the expression on the face and the gaze in the eyes directed at Margot were so gentle, it seemed as if they could bring forth tears.Margot listened to his violent words and stared at him, "Say it again, whose legs are you going to break?"Curtis was standing there. Although he still had a bit of presence, his facial expression already showed defeat.Before he could try to please his wife again, Margot had already brushed past him and slipped through the mansion's front doors.While running, he shouted, "An
So Gabriel had to personally drive her wherever she needed to go.Curtis listened to the two people and narrowed his eyes again."Who else?""Anthony."Anthony?Curtis was momentarily taken aback.Then, he saw Anthony coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a plate, and walking into the dining room.He set down his coat and told Luna, "You sit, I'll go help.""Go ahead."Curtis followed into the kitchen and saw that Anthony and Gabriel were acting as if they were in their own home, helping themselves to whatever they wanted to eat and making it themselves.He also felt a bit embarrassed and walked over, saying, "It's not right to have you cook since you're visiting, let me do it instead."Gabriel glanced at him and said, "We all treat you like one of us, so why are you being so formal with us?"Anthony responded, "I'm making it for my wife, after all, she only eats the food that I make."Curtis shook his head helplessly.They were showing off their relatio
Margot and Lena turned their heads at the same time.Jordan was dressed in a British-style uniform with a backpack. At eight years old, he stood around four feet tall. His smile was like a little ray of sunshine and could really brighten anyone's day.He shouted, "Mom, Aunt Lena, did you come specifically to pick me up?"Every time Margot heard Jordan call her "mom," it filled her heart with warmth.She raised her hand to give him a hug, gently ruffled his hair, and said, "Of course I'm here to pick you up, get in the car.""It's been a month since I last saw you, and you've grown taller."Lena pulled Jordan onto the vehicle and started driving.Sitting in the car, Jordan couldn't help but smile as he looked at his senior.Lena looked at him and smiled, "Living here, how does it compare to being up in the mountains?"Jordan's eyes landed on Margot, filled with warmth and joy."Wherever my mom and dad are, I feel is the best place. Of course, I'm not saying that being with Mas
Margot greeted them with a smile, saying, "I thought you two would be quietly enjoying your romantic time at the estate. I didn't expect you'd come over to see us!"Lena reached out and gently pinched Louis' round cheeks, then looked at Margot and said, "You keep saying that, but you're not working, so why don't you come visit us?""I'm at home taking care of the kids. You have no idea how challenging it is.""Heh, you're just unfairly blaming Louis. Our little Louis is clearly very well-behaved."Lena ignored Margot and couldn't help but give Louis a couple of kisses after picking him up.Anthony walked over and asked, "Where is everyone else?"Margot motioned for them to come over and sit down, then poured them some water."Natalie just had her baby not long ago, and my in-laws went with Natalie's parents and the others to visit the babies, and they're also going to visit Dad."Whenever Anthony talked about his oblivious elderly father, he got frustrated.He didn't ask any m
Frederick, exuding the presence of the head of the family, welcomed the arriving in-laws with a smile.Afterwards, he behaved well and didn't mention anything about Yasmine, nor did he cause any trouble with his sons.The in-laws were very careful not to mention Frederick's injury, as they didn't want to hurt his pride.Daniel saw how lively it was at home and decided to bring Ena's mother over so that the in-laws could take the opportunity to get to know each other better.In the days that followed, everyone got along very well.In Amberville, Alice Manor.Anthony and Lena were enjoying a peaceful and romantic time together here. No one was bothering them, and they were not going out to work.The two of them spent the entire day cozied up at home.It involved either snacking while watching a movie or playing games followed by some cuddling and kissing.Anthony often made delicious food for Lena and took care of her so well that she seemed completely pampered.This caused Len
"If you won't let me bring her into the family, fine, I'll set up a large estate elsewhere. When the time comes, I won't let you in either."Daniel felt that his father was quite childish.He chuckled and said, "How about this, once the guests leave, I'll take you back to Yasmine. Then you can tell her that you've cut all ties with us and you want nothing. At that point, Yasmine is still willing to stay by your side and take care of you, then we'll do as you wish. How about that?Regarding the greedy Coran siblings, it was important to know that their father didn't have anything valuable left on him, and they wouldn't gain any benefits either.It would be surprising if she still stayed by Frederick's side."Don't underestimate people; Yasmine's love for me is genuine."Frederick didn't want to bet with Daniel.Human nature was something that shouldn't be gambled on.Daniel laughed again. "Are you afraid of losing, Dad?"Frederick stared at Daniel and said, "When have I ever be
Yasmine was not happy when she heard she would be left alone.She knelt beside Frederick, holding his hand and pleading desperately, "Frederick, you can't do this. You can't leave me here alone. If you leave, they'll treat me badly again, just like before. Can you take me with you? Even if it's just to be your nanny, I'm begging you!"Frederick could not stand seeing women cry.When Yasmine pleaded like that, he softened and turned to look at Daniel.Daniel, with a blank expression, said, "Dad, do you really want your in-laws to see you like this?"Frederick also looked upset and said in a serious tone:"Couldn't you say she's my nanny? Who would know?""We have kids at home, do they lie?"Frederick had no choice but to turn to Yasmine and said, "Just stay here. They won’t dare bother you again. I'm leaving now."He raised his hand to signal Daniel to push the wheelchair.Daniel pushed the wheelchair forward.However, Yasmine was unwilling and tried to stop it again.The he
"Are we supposed to live here for the rest of our lives? Even if we have to stay here, at least give us the freedom to come and go as we please."Look at how they've sent so many people to watch over us again, clearly treating us like prisoners."Noticing that Frederick's expression was starting to soften, Yasmine continued to stoke the fire."Tell me, is there any way sons should be treating their father like this? They just want to drive you to your limits so they can split up your assets. Frederick, you can't let them have their way, or else you'll spend your whole life working tirelessly for them only to end up in such a miserable situation. How pitiable that would be.Frederick was speechless.He didn't want to go back. But if he did, his sons would have to treat him with great respect.He hoped that Calvin would bring the military seal, and it had been two days now, yet they still hadn't delivered it to him.Was he really planning on not giving it to him?As soon as he th
She ignored him, and Tommy didn't take the initiative to talk to her either to avoid making her overthink.After sitting in the living room for a while, he waited for all the members of the Crosby family to come downstairs. Once they did, he followed them to the dining room for a meal.As soon as Tommy arrived, Laura put down her fork, got up, and without looking back, said, "Enjoy your meal, I'm heading to the university.""Heading out so early?" Ashley asked.However, she didn't respond and slipped out the door directly.Elias said, "There's an exam coming up, so she's been very focused. She goes in early every day."Curtis and the others didn't seem to mind and invited Tommy to sit down.Only Margot knew why Laura walked so quickly.It was because Tommy was here.Laura had a crush on this big celebrity, and since she couldn't be with him, it was naturally difficult for her to interact with him further.So it was completely understandable that she avoided him whenever she s
