Curtis ignored Janice and left indifferently with a darkened expression.On the other hand, Laura smiled and said politely, "There's no need. Please be mindful of your child. Don't let her run off again. It's dangerous outside."Janice quickly replied, "Alright, we'll be mindful of her in the future. Thank you so much!"As they left, Janice told Lilac, who was in her arms, "Lilac, hurry up and say your goodbyes to Mister and Miss!"Lilac waved her hand as she shouted in her childish voice, "Goodbye, Mister! Goodbye, Miss! Be happy every day, Mister! I'll do magic tricks for you the next time I see you!"Her soft and sweet voice sounded melodious to Curtis. It made him feel warm, but his mood was as bad as ever.Curtis did not reply to her and went into the car. Laura quickly followed after him.Janice carried Lilac into the house once the duo left. She gave Margot a call as she walked in.When Margot answered the call, Janice quickly said, "Don't worry, Ms. Stone, we've found M
Margot was afraid that Lilac would have to wait for long.She then looked at Lilac and said, "You might have to wait, Lilac. There's quite a crowd."Lilac nodded while eating her pretzel stick and replied sweetly, "Okay! I'm not going anywhere!"The nearby crowd turned to look at Lilac when they heard her.They saw the way she was wearing her hair in two braids and dressed in a pink princess dress. She had fair skin and big bright eyes with glossy black hair. She looked absolutely adorable.The nearby crowd couldn't help but ask Margot, "Is this your daughter? She's adorable!"Margot nodded while smiling.Few of them couldn't help but bend down to play with Lilac.Lilac wasn't afraid of strangers at all. Everyone was a good person in her perception. She smiled in return when they smiled at her. She even shared her food with them.Margot felt pleased and proud when she saw Lilac was popular among the others.At that moment, a deep male voice sounded from the crowd."Margot?"
Margot didn't want to have anything to do with Royce.She replied off the top of her head, "I didn't bring my phone out, and I've forgotten my number. Sorry, I have things to tend to, so I'll leave for now."She then left in a rush with Lilac in her arms.Royce did not run after them but stood there quietly as he watched their retreating backs.Since Margot was staying in the Helio City of Emeria, it wouldn't be hard for him to find her."Who's that woman?" Zyla's sharp voice sounded beside him.Royce's gentle expression turned cold immediately.He replied off the top of his head, "I don't know her.""Why did you talk to her if you didn't know her then?" Zyla said somewhat angrily.Royce didn't look happy.He said indifferently, "There are too many people today. I couldn't buy the milkshake. You can just have it another day."He then turned and got into the car.Zyla was flustered as she quickly followed him and shouted, "What's with your attitude? Must you be this annoyed
Natalie asked, "Margot? Is that really you, Margot?"Margot felt her throat closing up as well.Her voice became hoarse when she said, "Yes, it's me."Natalie couldn't help but ask in a hoarse voice, "Where have you been all these years, Margot? Do you know that we've been looking for you? Are you alright?"Margot tried her best to control her emotions.She smiled slightly and replied, "I'm alright, Natalie. I'm doing well now."Natalie asked, "Where are you now?"Margot said, "I'm in Emeria. If you're free, you could come and visit with Benjamin for a couple of days, but…"Before she could finish her sentence, Natalie replied impatiently, "Okay, give me your address. I happen to be on break now. I'll find you. Don't worry, I won't tell Curtis."Margot felt relieved. Natalie was still the person who understood her the most, no matter how long it had been since they last contacted each other.She sent her address to Natalie after ending the call.Margot then looked at Lilac b
A Mr. Evans… Was it Royce? How did he find her here?Margot felt somewhat annoyed, but she allowed Janice to let Royce in. She then got the other nannies to bring Lilac upstairs for a bath.As Royce walked into the villa, he saw Margot sitting in the living room.She was dressed in a belted long dress and wore her hair in soft curls draping over her shoulders. She had a silver diamond hairpin attached to her hair by her ears. Perhaps it was due to her makeup, but she looked stunningly beautiful.The current Margot possessed a womanly charm. Royce happily went closer to her.However, she wasn't at all pleased as she got up and asked, "How did you know I was here?"Royce smiled happily as he replied, "Wouldn't it be easy for me to find you if I wanted to?"He frowned when he saw that she had an unhappy expression.He asked, "Do you not welcome me here, Margot?"Margot did not give a direct reply and said, "Please have a seat."Royce walked over and sat down. He glanced over the
It was impossible that she would get together with Anthony.It was Anthony who abducted her and caused her miscarriage back then. It was only right for her to hate him to his guts. How could she still be with him?Besides, there were never any interactions between the both of them."I'm not joking with you."Margot replied coldly, "The reason why I got a divorce with Curtis back then was because I had a change of heart and fell for Anthony. We even have a child together. How could it be any less true still?"It seemed like pretending to be together with Anthony was the best choice if she wanted to have a peaceful life without Royce bothering her.That way, even if Curtis knew where Margot was, he wouldn't be able to interfere when he found out that she had gotten together and had a child with someone else."Why would you like him?"Royce suddenly lost control of his emotions.He got up abruptly and looked at Margot, shouting, "Aren't you supposed to hate him? He was the one wh
Royce had no choice but to leave for now. He could only discuss further with Anthony if he wanted to protect Margot.It wasn't that Margot did not take heed of Royce's words, but she believed Anthony would handle everything well.She felt somewhat tired and went upstairs to take a bath. She then came down for dinner after changing into loungewear.After that, Margot spent time with Lilac as she taught her to read and write. She took the initiative to video call Anthony before she called it a night.It was still morning in Amberville due to the time difference.Anthony was currently busy at work. When he saw Margot's video call, he set all his work aside and sat in front of the desk. He smiled at Margot and Lilac on the screen. "Hello, Margot and Lilac."Beside Margot, Lilac sweetly replied, "Hi, Daddy. Is it fun over there?"Anthony grinned and said, "It's fun. I'll bring you along next time, okay?"Lilac said, "Okay! I like playing the most! You can talk to Mommy. I'm sleepy
"Huh? That's fast. Did you come alone, or are Tommy and Benjamin with you?" Margot asked as she got up and rushed to make herself presentable.Natalie chuckled and replied, "Benjamin has to attend school, and Tommy stayed back with him. I'm worried about you, so I came over to check on you."She stood at the entrance of the villa and looked at the luxurious mansion through the steel gate.She figured that Margot had been living comfortably for the past four years. She wouldn't have the money to live in such a nice house otherwise.At the same time, Natalie did not realize someone was watching her nearby. That person had come after her from Cordonia.Margot replied, "Wait for me, Natalie. I'll go get you from the entrance immediately."She didn't have time to even wash up. She quickly took her phone and ran downstairs and out of the villa in only her sleepwear and slippers.As Margot ran into the garden, she suddenly slowed her steps when she saw Natalie past the steel gates.
