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
Margot was even more afraid that Curtis was having an affair."I'm not sick of you, so you shouldn't be overthinking. Let's continue eating instead," Curtis said as he sat down beside her and fed her some food.Margot stared at Curtis and avoided his spoonful of food.She asked unrelentingly, "Is it really not because you're sick of me?"Curtis looked determined as he replied, "How would I get sick of you? I have always wanted a baby with you. I can't even pamper you enough."Margot said, "You shouldn't sleep in the other bedroom from now onward then!"Curtis replied, "Alright."Margot only took a bite reluctantly after hearing his reply.Curtis continued feeding her while asking, "Do you want to go shopping today? I can go with you."Margot replied, "I don't want to. Can we stay at home instead?""Okay," he replied, complying with everything she said.…Chester brought Wendy elsewhere and arranged for her to stay in an upscale neighborhood.Before he left, he told Wendy,
Margot no longer had a friend around after Natalie left.She saw the way Curtis had been distracted the entire day when he stayed by her side. She knew that he couldn't sit still at home.During the night, they were back resting in their room. She spoke to Curtis, who was taking off his shirt in front of the bed."You should just go do your own thing tomorrow. You don't have to stay at home with me for the entire day."Curtis eyed her before sitting on the bed and said, "Isn't it the weekend tomorrow? I was thinking that I haven't been spending time with you for the entire week. I should do that for at least two days when you're on break."Margot replied, "We have an entirety's worth of time to be with each other. It doesn't have to be now."She wanted to be more understanding and didn't want to keep Curtis away from his work.Additionally, he was always distracted and lost in thoughts whenever he was with her. She would rather not have him by her side if that was the case.Cur
Curtis immediately ended the call and quickly went over to ask her, "What's wrong?"Margot was frowning as she felt wronged deep down.She looked at him and questioned, "Why didn't you sleep with me again? Who are you calling at this hour? Are you having an affair?"Margot had a nightmare and woke up abruptly. She panicked when she saw that Curtis wasn't beside her.She couldn't believe that he was avoiding her for a call. Was it a woman that was calling him so late at night?At that moment, the fear in Margot's heart intensified.Curtis said, "Don't overthink, Margot. I suddenly remembered I had some work matters, so I called Chester for a short discussion."He was afraid that she wouldn't believe him. He then opened his call records and passed it to her.He said, "You can have a look. It really is Chester."Margot glanced over at the phone. She only stopped fretting when she saw that there was indeed only a call with Chester."I really thought you were having an affair," sh
