The following day, Curtis got up and went downstairs before Margot woke up.During breakfast, he told Doris, "Please prepare nutritious meals that are good for the baby from now on."Doris was pleasantly surprised to hear that and promptly replied, "Understood, Mr. Crosby."Curtis finished his breakfast and went upstairs again.Wendy, who had been hiding in the kitchen, overheard what Curtis had said. It seemed like Margot was indeed pregnant.After sending a message to Tammy, she hurriedly returned to the Crosby residence to resume her work.When Tammy received Wendy's message again, she was furious. She couldn't believe that Margot was pregnant again. And on what grounds did Curtis have the right to be a father?Did they really think that by sending her abroad, they would be able to live happily ever after? Dream on! She would never allow them to live a good life!…When Margot woke up, it was already 9:00 am.When she opened her eyes, she saw Curtis sitting on the couch by
Margot's gaze turned toward Natalie.Looking at Natalie, she suddenly felt tears welling up in her eyes, and her voice trembled as she said, "I'm scared."Natalie quickly reached out, hugged her, and asked in confusion, "What are you afraid of?""I don't know. I just feel so scared. My body feels so light. It's as if I could fly away at any moment. I also feel like the baby is going to fly away from me, and I can't hold onto them."When she said this, she gently closed her eyes, and tears rolled down her cheeks.Natalie hugged her tightly and reassured her, "There's nothing to be scared of, Margot. We're here for you, and Curtis is here as well. We'll protect you and the baby. We won't let anything happen to you or the baby.""As soon as I fall asleep, I'll have nightmares. I dream that Curtis doesn't want me, and the baby doesn't want me either." She was overwhelmed by her emotions, and her tears kept pouring out.When Benjamin saw such a scene, he wanted to cry as well. He rai
Margot hummed in assent.Natalie understood and said to Curtis, "Let's take her back to her university."Curtis was naturally worried. He harbored a fear that Margot might not be safe whenever she was out of his sight. However, if returning to the university was the only way to lift her spirits, then he could only let her go."Get up, Margot. Pack your things, and I'll take you back to the university."Curtis helped her stand.Margot remained silent and behaved according to Curtis' commands—resembling a well-behaved child.Even as Curtis drove her to school, Margot remained seated in the passenger seat without saying a word and simply stared out the window. Curtis, on the other hand, kept glancing at her. Margot's silence made him feel uneasy."Margot, don't be so quiet. If you have something to say, just say it. I'd rather we argue than you saying nothing at all."Her current state made him feel even more distressed for her.Margot felt as if her mind had become a blank sla
Wendy was thrilled to hear that the other job would pay twice as much as her current job. She quickly nodded and said, "I'll follow Mr. Crosby's arrangement then.""I need you to go to Crestwood University to be Margot's study companion. You'll be responsible for her well-being and daily needs. If she encounters any issues, report them to me immediately. Can you do that?"Was he asking her to go to Crestwood University as her study companion?It was an excellent opportunity for her, given that she hadn't been admitted to university before.Wendy was so grateful that she burst into tears. She quickly nodded and said, "I can do it, Mr. Crosby! Rest assured, I'll definitely take good care of Ms. Stone. I will let you know immediately if anything happens as well.""She's also currently pregnant. So, you should be mindful of her diet. Feel free to ask your mother if you're unsure about anything.""Understood, Mr. Crosby."Curtis said, "Then go straight to Crestwood University. I'll h
Tommy blurted out, "I heard from my sister that you're pregnant?"Margot hesitated for a moment before humming in assent."Congratulations, Margot! You're going to be a mother!"There was a clear sense of disappointment in his voice.Margot was feeling down and out. She said with a sigh, "You're not here, and I don't have anyone to go for a stroll with either."Tommy asked, "What about Curtis? Why don't you ask him to go on a walk with you?""I don't want to talk to him. I'm not happy when I'm around him.""What's wrong? Did you two fight again?""No, I didn't fight with him. I'm so stressed out and scared, Tommy."Margot sat up, slid off the bed, and sat on the carpet beside the bed.She held her phone in her hand, lowered her head, and felt the tears welling up in her eyes."What are you scared of, Margot?"Tommy noticed that her voice sounded quite off, and he started to worry again."I'm afraid I won't be able to care for the baby. I'm scared of being separated from th
Margot refused to go home for the next several days. She just remained on campus, not even returning home on weekends.Curtis was greatly troubled by this.On Friday, he went to the university entrance and called Margot.However, Margot was so stubborn that she even started ignoring his calls. In the end, Curtis had no choice but to call Wendy.Margot was reading a book in the library.Wendy, who had received a call from Curtis, carefully handed the phone to Margot. "Ms. Stone, it's Mr. Crosby calling."Margot ignored it.Wendy had no choice but to put the phone to her ear.Curtis' voice sounded a little cold over the phone. "Margot, I respect your decision to live on campus, but shouldn't you spend weekends at home? I'm at the entrance now. Come out, and let's go home.""I'm not going." Margot refused outright. She was always unhappy when she was with him.At her university, she could read books and attend classes every day. After class, she could also chat with her course
"Margot…" Curtis got up and walked toward her.Margot ignored him and walked past him to the desk. Then, she sat down and proceeded to review her course materials.Curtis followed her behind and stood there, bending down and leaning close to her. "It's been a few days since we last saw each other. Don't you miss me?"His voice was gentle yet alluring.Margot turned her body away, refusing to let him touch her. "You should leave. My coursemates are coming over soon."Her attitude remained cold.Curtis sighed. "Are you still angry?"Margot remained silent, her eyes fixed on the book before her.Curtis bent down again from behind and hugged her, his chin resting on her shoulder as he whispered, "Margot, be a darling and come home with me. I'll make it up to you."Margot was unmoved, but she no longer resisted his touch.Curtis bit her earlobe, his voice magnetic and seductive as he said, "Do you want me to carry you home? I don't mind being watched."Margot wasn't comfortable w
As soon as Curtis returned to the Royal Villa, he ran into Gabriel, who was standing at the entrance, hesitant about entering the house.After getting out of the car, he came up behind Gabriel and asked, "What are you doing standing here sneakily?"Gabriel turned around and sighed, "You came back just in time. I'll sleep at your place tonight.""Why didn't you go home? Why did you come to my place?""I'm afraid Natalie will bring up the divorce again. Let's go."Gabriel put his arm around Curtis' shoulder, and they walked back to Curtis' villa.Curtis was irritated by Gabriel's touch and shrank away from Gabriel's hand with disdain. "You two still haven't worked things out?""How am I supposed to work it out? It's fine if she doesn't see me, but as soon as she sees me, she brings up divorce. Even Benjamin is very resistant toward me. Now, whenever I want to see them, I can only hide and watch them from a distance." "Serves you right," said Curtis, showing no sympathy for his
"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
