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
"What do you mean they can't be separated? If Lena is really that girl from Evans family, she cannot be with Anthony," Frederick said furiously while clutching his chest to steady his emotions. "Get Anthony back here immediately. As long as I'm still breathing, I will never agree to this. Not only that, but Yelena should not even be alive. Ask Calvin to return now!"He hadn't expected the girl rumored to destroy the Morris family would still be alive. How could she still be alive? Daniel stood still, trying to reason with him again. "Dad, can you stop being so unreasonable? Lena and Anthony are already engaged. If you step in now and cause chaos, no one in the family will have any peace."How could their father have changed so much since coming back?He used to be so reasonable, always teaching them principles of life and he would remind them that whoever inherited the military seal must priortitze the well-being of the people of Emeria. Now, it seemed like he had forgotten al
Frederick initially wasn't very interested in chatting with the viscountess.As soon as the viscountess mentioned her younger sister's marriage to his son, he immediately interrupted."Wait a minute, what are you talking about? Your sister? You have a sister?"The viscountess smiled and said, "Yes, has my younger sister's relationship with your third son not been mentioned to you by them yet?"Frederick knew that Pamela was referring to Anthony.But wasn't Anthony's girlfriend Lena?Frederick said that he still didn't quite understand some parts."Are you sure you haven't got it wrong? Anthony's girlfriend is actually that girl named Lena. What does she have to do with your little sister?"Pamela laughed and explained, "Did they really not tell you? So you don't know that Lena is my younger sister, Yelena Evans?"What was Anthony doing?Why didn't he inform his own father about such a big matter?Or could it be that there wasn't enough time?Frederick was stunned.Lena was
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
