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
"Margot doesn't want to have a baby. Forget about it. What's the point of talking about this? Come on, let's continue."Curtis poured another glass and downed it in one go again.Gabriel wasn't quite drunk yet. However, he didn't want to drink anymore. He got up and gestured to Curtis, saying, "Come on, take me back home.""Don't you know the way? Why do you still want me to take you back?" Curtis ignored his request.Gabriel explained, "I'm pretending to be drunk. It would be more dignified if you took me back. Otherwise, I'll be too embarrassed to face them."Curtis snorted, "You're still trying to act dignified in your current state?""Quit your yapping, and let's go."Gabriel forcefully pulled Curtis up and dragged him out the door.Curtis was very reluctant. He wouldn't want to collude with Gabriel if they hadn't grown up together since childhood.When they arrived at Natalie's place, it was already 8:00 pm.After Curtis rang the doorbell, Gabriel immediately slouched ag
As Curtis walked away, Natalie completely ignored Gabriel, who was sleeping on the floor, and carried Benjamin upstairs to sleep.Before walking upstairs, she also instructed Mary to ignore Gabriel.Before long, the spacious living room was left with only Gabriel lying on the carpet. Moreover, his clothes were still wet from Benjamin pouring warm water over him.He opened his eyes, looked around, and saw no one around.He could only lie there, feeling miserable and with no one to comfort him.How could Natalie be so ruthless?He was so drunk that he passed out on the floor, and she just walked away.After lying there for a while and realizing that no one was coming to help him, Gabriel felt too embarrassed to continue the act. He quietly got up and went upstairs to sleep in the guest room.Meanwhile, Curtis came home to see Doris cleaning up the table, so he instructed, "Don't clean it up yet. I'll have two more drinks." He sat alone, picked up the bottle, and took a big swig
Curtis bent down and approached Wendy, intending to kiss her.Subconsciously, Curtis knew that Margot was pregnant, so he couldn't touch her, fearing that he would hurt the baby. Therefore, he endured that discomfort and immediately flipped over to the side.Wendy, who was lying on the bed, had already prepared herself. However, she never thought that Curtis would avoid her again. She sat up and looked at him.Observing Curtis lying next to her, it was evident that he felt uneasy.Despite the discomfort, Curtis still managed to hold himself back and not touch her.Wendy was inexperienced in such matters and didn't know how to initiate it. However, she couldn't just give up like that.She was determined to make Curtis sleep with her. She leaned in, wanting to kiss him.Curtis felt someone approaching him, so he pushed her away and murmured in a haze, "No, Margot, don't come over. I don't want to hurt the baby…"He was really uncomfortable.He wanted to get up and go to the bath
Curtis was still in denial, shouting, "I asked you, how did you get here? Who told you to come back?"Wendy sobbed, her tears continuing to flow. "Ms. Stone asked me to bring the ring back for her. I brought it back and found you drunk downstairs. I wanted to help you to bed, but you mistook me for Ms. Stone…"Curtis turned away, refusing to look at Wendy. Suppressing the pain in his chest, he ordered, "Get up, put on your clothes, and leave now! Don't tell anyone about what happened last night. Do you understand?"Wendy sat there, still crying.Curtis, still furious, shouted, "I'll give you anything you want, but you must never show up in front of me again!"Wendy sobbed. "What could I possibly want? In my current state, where else can I go?"As Wendy's cries intensified, Curtis grew increasingly agitated and angry. He turned and left the room.When he came back, he threw a card at Wendy. "There are ten million dollars inside. Take the money and disappear from my sight. I never
Natalie wanted everyone around her to be happy and healthy.Margot lowered her head in silence, her hand reaching for her abdomen.Natalie glanced at Margot and asked, "Since you're pregnant, are you experiencing any pregnancy symptoms, such as nausea or vomiting?"Margot shook her head.Following her pregnancy, she didn't experience any symptoms except for occasional mood swings. Surprisingly, her appetite remained quite robust.Natalie chuckled, remarking, "Curtis hasn't been feeling well lately, has he? Maybe it's because you're pregnant, and all your pregnancy symptoms are getting transferred to him."Margot was confused and turned to look at her. "What do you mean? What does my pregnancy have to do with him?""This phenomenon is often referred to as sympathetic pregnancy. Essentially, it means that Curtis is undergoing pregnancy-like symptoms, even though he's not actually pregnant. This is likely a result of his emotional connection with you and his anticipation of becomin
"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
