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
Curtis felt guilty facing Margot's questioning. Even though he did not read the message, he knew it was from Wendy.He couldn't come up with any excuse.He replied haughtily, "You should go to sleep."Margot saw that he was about to leave. She quickly got down from the bed to block him at the door.She looked at him and shouted angrily, "Don't you dare go anywhere else tonight! Explain why exactly you deleted the message! Who's that person? Have you been cheating on me all this while?"Curtis tried his best to calm himself.He pursed his lips and replied emotionlessly, "Don't overthink, Margot. I didn't cheat on you. The message contained confidential information. That's why I couldn't let you know. It's getting late. You should rest."He reached over to pull her away, but Margot refused to budge and continued to block his exit.She said, "You're also aware it's getting late, so why are you going out now? You don't have to admit it, but I know you're having an affair, Curtis. D
Annoyed, Curtis slammed his fist angrily on the steering wheel. He spent the night in his car.Upon remembering that Margot was now pregnant, he drove back home during the day. He walked to the room to check on her.Margot was curled up on the bed. She was biting on her finger as she stared blankly at a corner.Curtis stood by the bed and saw that she was awake.He said, "I've called in sick for you. You don't need to go back to the university during this time. You can stay at home and rest up."Margot ignored him. Curtis saw that she seemed alright. He then went to wash himself up.He went down for breakfast after he was done washing up.He instructed Doris and said, "Take care of Margot. Don't let her go out during this time."Doris seemed confused and asked, "Not even for her classes?"Curtis replied, "She won't be attending them."He ate a little before getting up to leave.Doris saw that Margot had not come down the entire morning. She then brought breakfast up for her.
Margot did not panic even when she heard Curtis. She didn't bother lifting her head as she ignored his existence entirely. She scrolled through her phone as she sat beside the bed.Curtis walked over to her and asked condescendingly, "You want to divorce again? You're even getting someone to investigate me now?"Margot remained silent. Didn't he say that she kept acting up? She definitely wouldn't throw a tantrum at him this time now.Once she obtained the evidence, she would file for divorce and split the assets.She would go and look for Natalie with that money. She could also give birth and raise her baby on her own. Who said she wanted to stay by Curtis' side?"I'm asking you questions now. Do you not trust me at all?" Curtis shouted in anger.Margot could only feel her heart clenching in pain. She wanted to put on a strong front, but tears kept welling up in her eyes.Still, she refused to look up at him nor talk to him.Curtis continued, "If you really wanted to divorce,
Ashley glanced at Curtis.She then went upstairs while mumbling, "You're almost 31 years old now, yet you can't even take good care of your own wife. I'll deal with you later if she's unhappy and my grandchild is affected!"Ashley maintained her friendly expression as she walked into Margot's room.Her voice was gentle, and she asked, "Are you asleep, Margot?"Margot never thought that Ashley would come over.She immediately got up to greet her politely, "Hello, Ashley."Ashley replied, "Hello. I heard that you weren't feeling your best recently. Are you alright?"Margot nodded her head.Ashley passed her a coat to wear and said, "Come and stay in the Crosby residence with me for a few days. Let's not deal with Curtis for now."Margot was speechless. Was Ashley bringing her over to the Crosby residence?If she left, wouldn't Curtis have more time to spend with the other woman? Did he purposely send her away?Margot didn't want to leave, but she couldn't refuse Ashley. She ha
Margot soon ended the video call with Laura. Her mind kept thinking about the name "Zyla Morris".When she finally fell asleep, she had an extremely weird dream.In her dream, Margot was in a grandiose palace. She was blindfolded with a strip of cloth. She kept hearing the gentle voices of young boys around her.A voice said, "Zyla, I'm here!"Another shouted, "I'm behind you, Zyla!"Someone called, "Let's stop playing, Zyla. He's coming over!"Upon hearing those words, the three-year-old girl took down the blindfold. She was standing in the middle of the main hall.She didn't know why she was surrounded by a blinding white light. She couldn't see anything at all. She could only hear them calling for her."Zyla…""Zyla?""Come out now, Zyla. Let's stop playing hide-and-seek now!""If you don't come out now, he's going to punish you!""Wait…" the girl called out in a childish voice.She walked toward the blinding white light in hopes of catching up with her brothers.Howev
