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
Margot went back and slept for five hours. It was already 5:00 pm by the time she woke up.Curtis continued to stay in the room instead of going back to the office. He did not bother with Gabriel as well.He was afraid that Margot would be agitated when she woke up and couldn't find Natalie.Margot sat up and saw Curtis sitting on the lounge chair on the balcony.She stretched herself as she asked, "Why are you still in the room? Aren't you going to work today?" Due to Natalie's divorce, Margot had taken time off from university. She wanted to spend more time with Natalie and Benjamin.Curtis closed his book and got up while answering, "I didn't go."He walked over to the bedside and asked her, "Are you awake yet? Do you want to get up to eat?"Margot shook her head. She was looking everywhere for her cell phone.She said, "I'll ask Natalie if she'd brought Benjamin back home already. I'll eat at their place instead."She found her phone and was about to call Natalie.Curti
"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
