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
Margot asked, "You also think that Gabriel was at fault, right?"Curtis laughed and said, "Well, he's my best friend after all. No matter what, I still have to maintain our relationship."Margot replied, "Regardless, I'll kick Gabriel on behalf of Natalie when I see him in the future."Curtis felt helpless. He could only carry her to wash up.Margot would never have thought that Natalie, who was the kindest to her, had now left her to better herself.Someday in the future, Natalie would be dressed in a white wedding gown for a grand wedding. She would marry the man closest to Margot.…After Natalie left, Margot no longer had someone that she could talk to. She stayed home feeling depressed for two days before returning to university.During that time, she was busy preparing for her midterm exam. Other than weekends, she spent most of her time at the university.It was a Friday, and she went to the library after lunch.Quinn was walking beside her as she softly gossiped. "Do
Margot felt perplexed as well when she saw Wendy.Didn't she find herself a rich boyfriend and refuse to even work? Why would she be here now?Margot did not notice that Curtis had a cold expression beside her. She had a dark expression as she walked over.She stood in front of Wendy and asked, "What are you doing here?"Wendy got up and nodded before greeting, "Hello, Ms. Stone, Mr. Crosby. I-I went to the hospital to get some medicine for Doris."Wendy felt guilty when she said that. She dared not even lift her head. She could also feel Curtis' sharp glare when he saw her again.However, she was determined to leave for good after she got more money from him this time."You should leave quickly after dropping the medicine. Don't come over anymore unless necessary," Margot coldly said.She didn't know why, but she felt uncomfortable seeing Wendy. It bothered her a lot. She no longer stayed around and went upstairs without waiting for Curtis.Curtis had a cruel expression after
It would be Curtis' responsibility to bear if something happened to Wendy during her miscarriage. He had already hurt her once. He couldn't do it again. She was only 18, after all.At that moment, Curtis felt conflicting emotions deep down.Wendy seized the chance and said, "How about I deliver the baby without anyone noticing, Mr. Crosby? Don't worry, I won't let Ms. Stone find out about it."You can send me to somewhere where nobody knows me. I'll take care of myself and my baby there. I won't cause more trouble for you then."Wendy knew that Curtis would never let her have the baby. Surely, he would give her money out of guilt for the abortion.Even if he wanted her to keep the baby, she could just have a miscarriage by accident after that. She was willing to do anything as long as she could get the money."Let me think about it."Curtis was hesitating. He wasn't someone who wouldn't take responsibility for others.If he took responsibility for Wendy, he would be letting Mar
Margot took a shower and changed into loungewear. She then walked out of her room to look for Curtis.However, she didn't find him despite looking for him everywhere. Wendy was also gone.Margot sat on the couch and took her phone out. Just as she was about to call Curtis, she heard sounds from the entrance.She looked up and saw Curtis walking in.She asked unhappily, "Why did you go out? You were gone while I was taking a shower."Curtis felt somewhat guilty.He looked at her and replied lightly, "Gabriel asked me to check next door. You should sit for now since you've already showered. I'll go get changed.""Off you go," Margot replied without much thought.After watching Curtis head upstairs, she opened her WhatsApp to send a message to Tommy. She wanted to know how Natalie was doing over there.Tommy sent Natalie and Benjamin's photos over. She only felt relieved when she saw their lives slowly falling into place.Margot was bored. She crossed her legs on the couch and c
"You can hold yourself back, but I wouldn't be able to do so. It's time to eat already, right?" Curtis said as he lifted Margot off his lap.He then took her hand and brought her out of the study.Margot was speechless.Was he really holding himself back from touching her just because she was pregnant? Why did she feel like Curtis had something on his mind?Margot's heart clenched painfully when she recalled his sudden expression of disgust when he avoided her earlier.The reassurance and sense of security she recently gained had completely vanished.…During mealtime, Curtis told Margot, "You can head to bed first later. Gabriel called me over for some matters."Margot was already losing her sense of security. She got even more suspicious when she heard his words."Okay, you can go," she agreed readily.Curtis looked up at her. He continued as if he was afraid that she wouldn't believe him."You can come along with me if you're not tired. We'll just be next door.""No need
Margot acted like she didn't care, but she couldn't sleep for the entire night.She only fell asleep early the next morning. Curtis didn't bother her about it. Instead, he was waiting for Chester's call in the living room.Chester only called to report at 10:00 am.He said, "The doctor said that Wendy's body is weak, Mr. Crosby. She might not be able to conceive again if she aborts the baby. The doctor asked us to reconsider the abortion. Wendy kept crying, and I couldn't make the decision."Chester could somehow guess what happened. He couldn't believe it. Did Curtis cheat on Margot?Even though it was a shocking revelation, he couldn't say much as he was just an assistant.Curtis was speechless.He thought the abortion was over by then. He didn't know that they hadn't even started yet.She might not be able to conceive again if she aborted the baby? Why were all the women around him so frail?Must he really keep the baby? If he kept the baby, what would happen with Margot th
"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
