Natalie took the sanitary pads and went into the washroom.Her concerned voice came through the door crack as she asked, "How long has it been delayed for you?""About ten days or more?" Margot replied after calculating the time.She figured it should be about ten days or more.Natalie continued asking, "Then have you started your period now?"Margot replied, "Not yet."Natalie did not reply to her. Once she was done, she washed her hands and opened the door to walk out. She then stared at Margot.Margot suddenly became anxious as she asked, "Do I need to get myself checked in the hospital?"Natalie nodded and replied, "You should get a check up if it was delayed for about ten days or so. You might be pregnant.""Huh?" Margot replied, stunned.Natalie laughed as she walked toward the living room and said, "Why do you look like that? You're now a married woman. Isn't it normal to get pregnant?"Margot replied, "No, it's impossible. He used protection every time. How could I b
Curtis had just been thinking that he shouldn't get Margot pregnant, and that they should enjoy two years of their romantic time for now. He didn't expect the surprise to come suddenly.Even he was caught off guard.While on his way back, he took his phone out and eagerly called Margot.Margot had run back home to talk to Curtis, but he was not around.She sat on the couch and recalled everything Tammy had told her before. The more she thought, the more fearful she became.The phone on the chair rang, and she picked it up and accepted the call after suppressing her anger.Curtis excitedly said, "Wait for me at home, Margot. I'll bring you to the hospital once I'm back. Don't go anywhere, okay?""Okay!" Margot replied briefly before hanging up.Curtis lied.He lied when he said he didn't want children. He must've done something to the condoms. He just wanted her to get pregnant and bear children for him.Margot was not even 21 years old and was still in university. How could h
When Curtis saw the way Margot was fuming at him just because of her pregnancy, he knew that she was going to make a fuss with him again.He took her hand with a somber expression and said, "This is just an accident, Margot.""How could there be so many accidents? You did it on purpose," Margot said as she shook his hand off and got up to leave.Curtis got up and followed after her when he saw her going upstairs.He spoke softly, "Don't get mad just yet. We can get you checked in the hospital, okay? What if it was your misconception?"What if it was a false pregnancy? Would she be pregnant just because she felt like she was pregnant? Curtis thought that it shouldn't be this easy.Margot just had her miscarriage not long ago. The doctor had also told him previously that her body was weak.Adding to that, she had a drug abortion back then, which caused great harm to her body. It would be hard for her to get pregnant in the future.Curtis thought that it would be fine not to use p
Margot zipped up her suitcase and left with it.Curtis went up to stop her and said, "Don't be like this, Margot.""Move aside," Margot said as she glared at him with reddened eyes.Now that she was pregnant, how could Curtis let her leave?He lowered his head to look at her and humbled himself to beg her. "I believe that you also loved me. Can't you keep this child for me just this once? Just this child, and I promise not to ask you for more children in the future."Margot refused to listen to him and walked around him.Curtis reached out to hug her and said, "Listen to me, Margot.""Let me go, Curtis. I don't believe in nor want to listen to anything you say now. I don't even know what I would do if you really force me," she said as she pushed him.Curtis refused to let her go as he lowered his head and gently coaxed her as if talking to a child.He said, "How could it be possible that you would refuse to bear my children when you loved me so much, Margot? Just keep this chi
Curtis turned and left.Margot's head was hurting badly. She got up to lie down on the bed. She gritted her teeth to endure the pain.She didn't even know if she had fainted from the pain or fell asleep after a long while.…Curtis sat on the couch in the living room downstairs. His face was looking grim.He really couldn't do anything if Margot insisted on not having the child. However, if they don't have children in the future, his family members…At that time, someone walked in from the entrance.Curtis looked up and saw that it was Natalie. She came over alone.When she saw Curtis, she asked in concern, "Where's Margot?"Curtis gestured upward.Natalie saw Curtis' pale face when she walked over.She asked, "What's wrong? Isn't the pregnancy good news? Why do the two of you have such weird reactions?"It wasn't like Margot and Curtis' relationship was at the point of divorce like Natalie and Gabriel's.Both of them were so lovey dovey and inseparable everyday. Their mar
Curtis had expected the result. Regardless, he was still pleased about it. However, his happiness was tempered by his concern for Margot's health.He promptly asked the doctor, "She had a miscarriage a few months ago, so this child shouldn't be affected in any way, right?""There's no need for you to worry, Mr. Crosby. The baby isn't at risk. However, due to her frail health and coupled with her tendency to faint under stress, you need to be careful of it. Otherwise, she may not be able to keep the child.""Understood."Curtis nodded and entered the ward.Natalie went in after him.At that moment, Margot was still unconscious. The doctor had said that she was still unconscious due to the pain that affected her central nervous system. She would eventually regain consciousness after a few hours of sleep.Curtis sat by her bedside, watching over her.Natalie sighed as she stood by the side. "What will you do if Margot insists on not giving birth to the baby?"Curtis wore a somewh
Curtis couldn't have imagined that Margot would make him choose between these two choices.They were equally important to him—between divorce and not having the child.How could he bear to make such an important decision? He hesitated, not knowing how to respond to her.Margot saw the sadness and sorrow on his face, and she didn't want to force him. She said coldly, "Please leave and let me have some time to myself."In fact, no mother would have been willing to give up her own child.She felt she couldn't give her child happiness or a future. She was afraid that the child she gave birth to wouldn't be able to grow up in a complete family.She was afraid that Curtis would eventually drift away from her, so she didn't want to bring the child into this world just to suffer.It was because she couldn't stop thinking about what Curtis had said before that he would divorce her once she gave birth to the child.Tammy wasn't the one who said that to her. She had heard Curtis say it he
"Do you think it's difficult for me, Curtis Crosby, to find a woman to bear my child?" Margot said, "Tammy had said I'm the only one suitable to bear your child."Curtis let out a cold sneer and said, "There are millions of women in the world, and you think you're the only one suitable to bear my child? I'm a perfectly normal person, so why do you think you're the only one capable of conceiving my child?"Margot was at a loss for words."Margot, I thought about having a child with you because I love you and want you by my side forever. It's also to protect you from those people in the Crosby family. Also, why do you keep dwelling on what Tammy said?""But I heard what you said to her at the entrance of the study. You told her that you'll divorce me once I give birth to your child."She desperately held back her emotions to prevent herself from crying.Since Curtis was always looking for ways to get out of trouble, Margot wondered what excuse he could come up with to fool her th
"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
