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
Curtis said, "Even though you are students of Crestwood University, I have germaphobia. I don't like people touching my belongings nor people helping me."So you should do as you please. You don't have to worry about me."Curtis interrupted their thoughts and actions before they could even finish talking.At that moment, he distanced himself from the two women. And with his status, those who weren't familiar with him were even more hesitant in approaching him.However, once he was done boiling some water and left, Quinn muttered, "Prof. Crosby's attitude seemed to vary from person to person. Wasn't Margot helping him out earlier? Why didn't he tell her off then?""Isn't it because Margot is pretty, and they're both from wealthy families?""Whatever, it's fine if we just know our places."…Gabriel looked for Natalie around the area but couldn't find her.He suddenly remembered the tent. As there weren't many tents on the entire mountaintop, he could easily locate Natalie soo
Margot slipped out of Curtis' tent early the next day just in case her roommates found her out. She crawled into Natalie's tent but realized no one was inside.She then backed out to look for her everywhere. She saw Natalie washing up at the small stream by the mountainside nearby.Margot walked over to her and sat down by the stream.She asked, "Why did you get up this early, Natalie? How was your sleep last night?""It was fine. Aren't we here to watch the sunrise? The sun is coming up soon. Hurry up and wash your face," Natalie said as she passed the face towel to Margot and got up to leave.Margot quickly washed her face and rinsed her mouth. She then hurriedly followed after Natalie.Both of them had just reached the mountaintop. They saw Gabriel and Sarah walking toward the best vantage point to watch the sunrise.Natalie suddenly halted her footsteps and gestured at Margot while saying, "We'll go that way."Margot replied, "Okay!"She had also seen Gabriel and Sarah.
