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
Ashley smiled and said, "We're flying with a private plane. We can have those documents sorted out later. Besides, Pamela's part of the Emeria royalty. We have the privilege to do away with applying for a visa."Margot replied, "Oh."Never had she thought that Royce would have such a noble identity. Being a descendant of the Emeria royalty sounded impressive.Ashley saw that Margot had agreed to it. She immediately got someone to arrange for them to fly to Emeria that afternoon.…At that moment, Chester pushed open the door to the president's office in Regal Enterprises. He walked in and handed a set of documents over to Curtis.Chester then reported, "I've found out that there's something fishy with Wendy's call records. She would occasionally contact an overseas number."I've gotten someone to investigate the number's location. It belongs to Ms. Vaughn."Curtis, who had been busy working on the computer, looked up at Chester and asked, "Tammy?"Chester replied, "Yes. There
Margot and Ashley stayed in the Evans residence upon Pamela's arrangement.The architecture here was different from the modern splendor of Amberville. Its grandeur gave out an ancient and solemn feeling.Perhaps it was due to Margot's pregnancy that she had felt tired.She was arranged to stay in an exquisite big room. She didn't know how long she had slept. It was only when she vaguely felt someone beside her that she woke up.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Laura's bright and childish face smiling at her.Margot felt embarrassed as she sat up.She reached over to ruffle Laura's hair and said, "Long time no see, Laura."Laura said sweetly, "It's been a while. Get up soon. I'll bring you down to eat!""Alright," Margot replied before getting up and getting dressed.Laura took her hand and led her out of the room to a vast and splendid dining hall. A young man dressed in an intricate and ornate attire was standing in the dining hall.Looking at his figure, Margot wonde
Laura sounded as if she were speaking about the mafia.Margot wasn't interested in the Morris family matters.She got up and said, "Didn't you say you'll bring me around, Laura? Let's go!"Laura immediately pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry, Margot, I still need to practice the piano. I'll ask Uncle Royce to bring you around, okay?"Margot was about to reject the offer.Royce immediately got up and said, "You're our guest, Margot. Let me do the honors. Laura might not know as much since she's still young. I'll bring you around so that you can learn about our local customs and culture here."Margot figured that Royce should've stopped his wistful thinking toward her now that he was about to get engaged.She nodded and agreed, "Alright then.""Come with me, Margot," Royce said as he bowed in a gentlemanly manner.Both of them left the palace in a sports car. Royce was the one driving.He drove slowly in order to let Margot have a look around. He even explained to her about t
Margot was confused about what the other person was saying. She furrowed her brows and asked, "What are you talking about?" Anthony sized her up and was about to speak again when Laura ran over and said, "Anthony, please don't be so hard on my niece-in-law. She's new here and still getting used to things."Anthony's focus shifted to Laura as he asked, "What did you just call her?""Margot is my niece-in-law! She's married to Curty, and she's even expecting a baby now. Please don't be so harsh on her. You might frighten the baby inside her belly."Anthony was at a loss for words.After glancing at Margot again, he fell silent.So, she really didn't have that kind of relationship with Royce?When he realized that he might have misunderstood her, he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry. I've got it wrong."With that, he turned around and walked away.As Margot watched his retreating figure, her mind was flooded with fragmented memories.It felt as though she had seen him befor
