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
Curtis was taken aback when Margot called him. She hadn't responded to his calls over the past week and seemed reluctant to return home.Did Natalie really succeed in convincing her to come back home?However, when he recalled the shameful things he had done, he couldn't suppress his guilt and spoke in a somber tone, "Are you at home?"Margot hummed in acknowledgment. Curtis hesitated momentarily before saying, "I won't be home tonight. Why don't you spend some time with Natalie?"He felt too ashamed to face her after what happened. He needed some time to calm down and adjust his mindset.Margot couldn't hide her disappointment when she heard that. "Alright then, you go ahead and get busy.""Alright, make sure you take good care of yourself too."Curtis ended the call. Margot's eyes lingered on the disconnected call, a sudden ache settling in her heart. Despite her return and taking the initiative to call, it seemed he did not intend to return that night.She was utterly di
Before Margot could respond, Doris came over with a plate of fruit and set it down as she said, "Ms. Ashley, didn't you know? Ms. Stone is already expecting."Ashley looked up at Doris in confusion. She kept looking at Doris, seemingly unable to process what she had just said.Doris added, "Ms. Stone is already pregnant. She's probably too shy, so she hasn't informed you yet."Doris saw that Ashley was really friendly and felt she sincerely wanted a grandchild. Unable to hold it back, she just blurted out that Margot was pregnant.Upon hearing this, Ashley's eyes widened in surprise, and she joyfully turned her gaze toward Margot. "Margot, are you really pregnant?"Margot didn't intend to hide it, so she nodded."Why didn't you immediately tell us about this news?"Ashley couldn't contain her excitement. She stood up, paced back and forth in front of Margot several times, patted Margot's shoulders, and burst into uncontrollable laughter."My dear, why didn't you share such wond
Did Curtis really want her to terminate the pregnancy? How could he change his stance so abruptly?Margot found herself in a daze, unsure of how to react. Curtis looked at her and said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have gotten you pregnant without your consent. If you don't want to have it, let's get rid of it."He acknowledged the cruelty of his words, knowing it would hurt her emotionally and physically. However, he felt he couldn't forgive himself for his beastly behavior."Go ahead and make arrangements for it then!" Margot's voice got caught in her throat, tears welling up as she lowered her head to eat. She tried to feign indifference, but her emotions got the better of her.What about her baby?She had finally convinced herself to accept the pregnancy, even looking forward to its arrival. She had chosen toys and clothes online, eagerly preparing for the baby's arrival.Now, Curtis was suggesting she could have an abortion if she didn't want the baby.Back when she didn'
Why couldn't Curtis grasp her feelings?As Margot sensed her emotions escalating, she quickly composed herself and uttered, "I'll go change my clothes then."Curtis loosened his grip on her arm and watched her walk toward the dressing room.His gaze shifted, settling on the expansive bed in front of him. It was on this very bed that he had violated another woman. It was in this very room that Curtis did something utterly despicable.He couldn't even forgive himself for what he had done, so how could he expect Margot to forgive him and spend the rest of her life with him with their child? He wasn't worthy of it.After Margot had changed her clothes, Curtis drove her to the Crosby residence. Before heading there, he had instructed Chester to return to the Royal Villa to change the bed in the master bedroom.Although changing the bed wouldn't erase what he had done, it would at least leave Margot with some dignity.Margot was seated beside Curtis in the car. She was upset and unwil
Margot looked at the check handed over by Martin and quickly shook her head in refusal, saying, "Grandpa, there's no need for it. I—""Don't be silly. Just take it." Martin insisted on giving it to her.Before Margot could react, everyone around her stood up and smiled as they crowded around her.Soon, every aunt and uncle in the family started congratulating Margot and showering her with gifts. Even Ashley and Elias gifted her things as well.Before long, Margot found herself holding a pile of checks and a stack of property deeds in her arms. She didn't know what to do with all of them. She couldn't understand why the Crosbys were giving her so much money and properties. She wasn't having a child for the sake of all these things.All these things in her arms were worth at least several hundred million dollars.Ashley noticed Margot's unease and quickly instructed the butler who was standing nearby, "Please help her put these things away for now. We can give them to her when sh
Perhaps it was Margot's way of threatening Curtis—her attempt to make him reconsider it.Unexpectedly, Curtis didn't give it a second thought and instantly agreed with her, saying, "Alright then."He had the same idea as well. A divorce would have been good for both of them.However, Curtis' swift agreement felt like a sharp blow to Margot's heart. She stared at him in disbelief, struggling to comprehend why he would agree so readily.In the past, he resisted any discussions about divorce, showing no willingness to compromise. Why the sudden change, especially when she wasn't even making a fuss about it now?Did he really not want her at all?Margot suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest. She hastily turned to look out the window, suppressing the urge to cry.She kept reminding herself that this was what she had wanted all along. Since he had agreed to it, she should be happy about it.Yet, the unexpected sorrow and reluctance puzzled her. Even now, Margot remained uncertain a
"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
