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. Sh
However, Margot had noticed it.She watched Gabriel and Sarah get into the car and leave.She then approached Curtis and asked, "Where are they going?"Curtis replied, "They're heading back."He looked at Margot and reminded her, "I know Natalie must be feeling upset deep down. You should stay with her for now."Margot said, "I will."…Natalie only noticed that Gabriel and Sarah were gone during mealtime.She figured that the both of them had left earlier and paid no attention to it. She discarded all her troubles and basked herself in the beauty and tranquility of nature.The other roommates had also noticed the missing duo and called to check on Sarah. They stopped thinking about her after confirming that she had left.Margot originally wanted to spend some romantic time with Curtis in the mountains.However, she thought Natalie would be sad if she were to be alone. Margot then used her time with Curtis to stay with Natalie.With Margot by Natalie's side, she could somew
Margot and Natalie slept on the same bed that night. They talked throughout the night.The next day, they got up and had breakfast together. They then took the divorce agreement and rushed to the courthouse.Natalie and Gabriel agreed to meet at 9:00 am. Gabriel and Curtis were already there when they rushed over.Margot did not expect Curtis to come with Gabriel. Curtis also did not expect Margot to accompany Natalie over.The atmosphere was rather peculiar when the four of them met."You can just wait for me here, Margot. You don't have to follow me inside," Natalie reminded Margot.Margot nodded in agreement before eying Curtis. Curtis went to her side without a word.Natalie walked over to Gabriel with the divorce agreement and said, "Let's go."Gabriel did not hesitate. They went up the staircase into the courthouse.Perhaps it was still early on a weekday. There weren't too many people in the courthouse.Added to the fact that they agreed to divorce without much dispute
Natalie said, "You have to take good care of Margot when I'm gone, Curtis. The doctor said that her body was weak and you'll have to pay more attention now that she's pregnant."You shouldn't make her angry. She's still young, so you should tolerate her if she throws a tantrum at you."Curtis could tell that Natalie was hurting inside. She sounded more like she was entrusting Margot to him before she left.He agreed in a low voice, "I know."Natalie said, "Since I'm no longer around, please help me look after my parents if they're in trouble, Curtis."Curtis replied, "Alright."Natalie then turned to look at Margot beside her. Her eyes were rimmed red as she smiled at Margot."If you have a baby girl, Margot, don't forget to make her my future daughter-in-law. You cannot take back your words," Natalie said with a choked sob.Margot nodded tearfully and replied, "Don't worry, Natalie, I won't take back my words. Why are you saying all these now? It's not like you're leaving righ
