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.

    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

    Margot called Curtis again during the night. She told him about her roommates' camping trip this weekend. She didn't think that Curtis would allow her to go.He thought it was good for her to relax. He also asked her to stay safe and send him a message when they were at their destination.Upon thinking about the camping trip, Margot realized she wouldn't be able to meet Curtis this weekend. She couldn't help but feel disappointed.…Margot and Quinn were purchasing camping tools and food in the supermarket on Friday afternoon. Suddenly, Margot got a call from Natalie.In the call, Natalie said, "It's the weekend soon, Margot. I'll come pick you up instead since Curtis is on a business trip."Margot asked Quinn to get the other tools.She then answered Natalie in an apologetic tone and said, "I forgot to tell you that I'm not going back this weekend, Natalie. I'm going camping with a few of my roommates."Natalie replied, "Oh, what a coincidence!""What do you mean?" Margot ask

    They were met with the sunset when they rushed to the mountaintop campsite. The scenery was breathtaking as hues of blood-red clouds colored the sky.Margot quickly took out her camera for some photos.After taking photos, the trio started to put up the tents. Sarah, Violet, Reyna, and her boyfriend arrived shortly after.Sarah immediately spotted Natalie not far away when she got down from the car. Natalie was dressed in a simple and neat outfit.Sarah couldn't believe her eyes. It really was Gabriel's heartless wife, Natalie. She immediately felt a surge of jealousy rising within her.Did Natalie follow Margot over? She was already a married older woman, and yet she was joining a bunch of university students. Wasn't she ashamed of herself?Sarah pretended not to know Natalie. Instead, she went to take out the bags from the trunk.Margot had also seen Sarah.She neared Natalie and mumbled, "Just ignore her. We can hang out on our own."Natalie smiled and reached over to ruffl

    Gabriel ignored Margot and Curtis and walked directly toward Natalie.Natalie felt that she was unlucky.She had finally dropped Benjamin off to her parents just to bring Margot out for some fresh air.Never had she thought that the very person that made her nauseated would follow along.Natalie pretended not to see him. She turned around to head back and enjoy her dinner.Gabriel saw the way she had ignored him. Despite feeling upset about it, he knew he would have plenty of opportunities throughout the next two days.He would have to let something happen between them in order to change their status quo.Gabriel then followed her and walked over to the crowd.Margot ignored Gabriel as well. She asked Curtis, who was beside her, "We're currently having dinner. Have you guys eaten?"Curtis replied, "We haven't eaten yet.""You can join us for dinner then!"Margot was afraid that her roommates might be suspicious. She purposely kept her distance from Curtis.She walked over a

    Natalie had repeatedly reminded herself. The things that Gabriel and the Sawyer family had done to her were enough to disgust her. Why would she still care about him?If it dragged on for two more years, they would eventually have to divorce, whether he liked it or not. They would go their separate ways from then onward. That was why Natalie had to continue to stand firm on her principles."Curtis is asking for you, Margot."Margot had just sat down beside Natalie and hadn't even managed to talk to her yet. She could hear Gabriel's voice sounding beside her.She looked up. As there were no lights around them, she could only make out Gabriel's figure from the moonlight.Margot got up angrily and asked, "What are you doing here?"Gabriel replied, "It's none of your business."He ignored Margot and sat down beside Natalie.Natalie didn't want to be anywhere near Gabriel. She got up to leave.Gabriel grabbed her and said in a low voice, "We should talk."Natalie said, "There's

    Margot walked to Curtis' side and helped him set the tent up.However, Curtis stopped her and said, "Just stand back. I'll do it.""Alright, I won't cause trouble for you then."Margot sat by the side and said, "Gabriel is so annoying! He kept making Natalie angry. You're the same! Why did you call him over? Look how unhappy Natalie is now!"Curtis looked toward the direction where Gabriel was at. He couldn't see him clearly in the dark night.He looked back at Margot and said, "I just thought I could bring him over and try to ease the tension between them. How would I know Camilla's aunt is here as well? That woman isn't easy to deal with."Sarah knew that Gabriel had a wife, and his wife was right beside them. And yet she still served Gabriel food and approached on purpose.Wasn't she clearly trying to show off toward Natalie?"Can't you tell if someone's a bitch?" Margot asked while smiling.Curtis was confused. "What do you mean?"Margot was speechless.She had thought t

    "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
