Natalie was afraid that Margot couldn't bring herself to tell Curtis about keeping the baby. She also feared that Curtis would really take her to get an abortion. After sending Benjamin to preschool that morning, she went straight to Curtis' place.As soon as she entered, she saw them embracing in the dining room. She breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled softly as she called out, "Margot…"When Margot heard her voice, she hurriedly let go of Curtis.Curtis also backed away and looked at Natalie, asking, "Have you had breakfast yet?""I've already eaten. I just came to check on you two. It seems like you two are fine now. Right?"Since they were already hugging each other, they probably wouldn't go through with the abortion or get a divorce, right?"It's fine now," Curtis said solemnly.Natalie sat down next to Margot and looked at her reassuringly. "Since everything's fine now, Margot, why don't you cheer up a bit? Why don't we go shopping at the mall later?"Margot nodded.
Natalie brought Margot to a luxury store. A sales assistant promptly greeted them and offered their assistance.Natalie picked out a few expensive dresses and handed them to Margot. "Go ahead and try these on."Margot glanced at the price tags and saw that one dress was worth thousands of dollars, some even over tens of thousands! She stared at Natalie in shock and said, "Isn't this too expensive?"Natalie remained unfazed and said, "Do you even know how much one of your clothes costs?"Margot lowered her head and glanced at her clothes. "Probably a few hundred dollars?"Since Curtis had arranged for all her clothes to be delivered to their home, and they didn't have price tags, she really didn't know how much each piece cost.Natalie shook her head helplessly and patted her shoulder as she lamented, "Your T-shirt alone is worth at least thousands of dollars, so a dress that costs tens of thousands of dollars isn't really that expensive."Margot was rendered speechless. How coul
Margot had changed into the blue dress with intricate cut-outs and walked out gracefully. Although she was wearing flat shoes, the fitted dress still accentuated her natural elegance and grace.Furthermore, her natural beauty and regal poise gave her a commanding presence as she stood casually to the side.When Wendy saw her, her expression changed abruptly. She subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave, but Margot's stern voice stopped her in her tracks. "Stop right there."Wendy stopped in her tracks and had no choice but to greet her. "Margot…"Wendy refrained from addressing her as "Ms. Margot" since it would have greatly embarrassed her.However, Margot showed her no courtesy and coldly asked, "What did you address me as?"When Wendy received the ten million dollars from Curtis, she was supposed to stay far away from him.If Margot went back and told Curtis that she didn't leave, Curtis would definitely not let her off the hook. She was truly frightened, so she respect
Margot said nothing in return. She grabbed Natalie's hand and continued to wander around the mall. When they had enough of shopping, they went to watch a movie.They went to the preschool together to pick up Benjamin in the afternoon. When Margot finally returned home, it was already 7:00 pm. As soon as she entered the house, she spotted Curtis in the living room.She walked over with a few bags in hand and called out, "Hey, Curtis."Curtis looked up at her and said, "Back already?""Yeah. I bought you a tie and a lapel pin." As she spoke, Margot placed the bags on the coffee table, took out a small box, opened it, and handed the lapel pin to Curtis.She smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"Curtis examined it closely. Then, he nodded and said, "I like it.""How about this tie? Do you like it?"Curtis nodded again and said, "I like it."He pushed the laptop aside and then pulled her over to sit beside him. He then lifted her feet, took off her shoes, and started massaging her
Margot couldn't quite comprehend what was happening with Curtis. She sensed a peculiar shift in his demeanor.When he noticed Margot staring at him, Curtis averted his gaze and said, "You should head to bed first. I'll work for a bit longer.""Are you really that busy with your work right now?" Margot furrowed her brows, feeling somewhat dejected.He wasn't like this before. Whenever she came near him, he would always hug her. Moreover, he would always go back to the room to sleep once it was time.It was tolerable when he was absent these past few days, but now that he was home, he still didn't return to sleep in their room when it was bedtime."I'm swamped of late. You should head to bed first." Curtis didn't dare to look at her. He kept his head down while amending the documents.Margot's heart ached inexplicably when she saw him behaving like that. She didn't want to take up any more of his time, so she walked out of the study.Returning to the room, she leaned against the h
Considering the situation between her and Curtis, Margot resolved not to burden Natalie with her concerns constantly. Recognizing that Natalie had plenty on her plate already, Margot opted to handle her own issues.After a while, Margot said, "It's nothing, really. I'm just bored because Curtis is away on a business trip.""Why has Curtis been going on so many business trips lately?" Natalie sliced an apple and handed it to Margot. "Those big shots are really swamped with work. Don't overthink it. I'll go upstairs and change, then drive you back to your university."Since Natalie had resigned from her work and hadn't started working yet, apart from picking up and dropping off Benjamin at preschool, she had been quite bored.Fortunately, she still had Margot to keep her company.After she changed her clothes and went downstairs, Natalie decided to take Margot out since there was nothing to do at home anyway.She drove directly to Crestwood University and found a place to park. The
Naturally, Sarah knew who Margot was referring to. However, there were some things that she didn't want her roommates to know just yet.Looking at Margot, Sarah said, "Let's talk outside.""Sure," Margot replied before getting up to leave.The roommates watched as both of them left. Even though they have their suspicions, they did not bother with the two. They were more interested in the luxury goods on hand.…Margot and Sarah stood by the window at the end of the dormitory corridor.Sarah was devoid of her usual quiet and introverted demeanor when she turned to face Margot. It was as if she was a different person now. She eyed Margot haughtily."I know of your identity. You're good at pretending, aren't you?" Sarah said with a cold snort.Margot disregarded it and asked, "I just wanted to know about your current relationship with Gabriel. Do the both of you meet up alone often?"Sarah smiled as she replied, "Don't you know what the relationship between Gabriel and me is? Per
Curtis replied, "I got it. I'll check with Gabriel and see what he has in mind later."Margot felt wronged on behalf of Natalie, but at the same time, she was extremely insecure.She asked, "You wouldn't be like Gabriel and mess around with other women right, Curtis?"She couldn't help but think that way. After all, Curtis had been busy recently and no longer slept at home. Even if he stayed the night, he didn't sleep with her.It wouldn't be unreasonable for her to feel insecure, right?Curtis lowered his gaze as he held onto his phone. His handsome face was expressionless. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out. That was because he was feeling guilty.Thankfully, Curtis was alone. He tried his best to hide how upset he was.He replied in a low voice, "I won't be like him. I only love you, Margot."Margot said, "Okay. How long will you be away for your business trip? I didn't feel it before this, but I find myself missing you now that we're apart."Curtis said, "I miss you
"Anthony, listen to me carefully. End things with her immediately. Not only that, but you must send her away. She must not step foot in Emeria ever again. If she does, don't blame me for taking her life.""Dad." Calvin hurriedly said, "Aren't you going too far? What exactly has Lena done to make you so wary of her? She's just a girl in her early twenties.""You shut up."Frederick snapped at Calvin, his anger surging as he shouted, "I entrusted the family to you when I wasn't around, and this is how you manage it? You couldn't even take care of your mother. What else can I possibly rely on you for? Hand over the military seal to me. From now on, do whatever you want, but this family is back under my control."Calvin froze as he stared at his father in disbelief. In that moment, he felt as if he no longer recongized the man before him. This wasn't the father who had once taught them so many life lessons, who had guided them with reason and wisdom. Anthony stood at the side and he
Margot explained, "I heard there used to be a rumor that Yelena's existence would lead to the downfall of the Morris family. I only know about it because Grandma mentioned it, but it's obviously just a baseless rumor. Lena has been nothing but kind to us, how could she possibly…"She couldn't believe in such rumors.Lena, despite her remarkable skills, was kind-hearted; she was always saving lives and helping others. She had also done a lot for their family. If not for Lena, Curtis' heart condition might not have improved, and Margot might still be bedridden. No matter what, they would stand by Lena's side. "What a ridiculous rumor." Natialie found it amusing. "We all know what kind of person Lena is. How could a woman like her cause the downfall of our entire family? It's simply impossible. How could Dad be so irrational and get upset over something like this?"Maybe he just called Calvin back to ask about the situation. It probably won't be anything serious."Margot tried
"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
