"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. Nat
Natalie still found it surprising.It had been four years since Margot's disappearance. Not only did she have a lover, their child was already three. Wasn't that a bit too fast?If Curtis were to know, he would probably go crazy like how he did four years ago. After all, he had never given up on searching for Margot all these years.Natalie walked over to sit on the bed. She took a liking to Lilac when she saw how endearing Lilac looked.Natalie turned to look at Margot and asked, "Is her name Lilac?"Margot nodded and said, "Her full name is Lilac Morris.""Where's her father then?""He went on a business trip. He might be back in a few days."At that moment, Lilac stretched herself on the bed and woke up.Margot quickly picked her up.She tidied Lilac's messy hair and then pointed at Natalie. "Guess who she is, Lilac."Lilac looked at Natalie.When she saw that it was a pretty lady, she smiled sweetly and said, "Hello, I'm Lilac. You must be my Mommy's friend. You can als
As night fell over Helio City in Emeria, within the confines of Hexa Villa, Margot gently tucked her daughter into bed. Following this bedtime routine, she guided Natalie downstairs and settled on the living room couch, where their conversation continued.They talked about her life over the years, and then she listened to Natalie talk about her life as well.After that, they also talked about work matters.Margot still had some money to spare, and after learning that Natalie had launched her own talent agency, she was considering investing in the film and television industry herself.Furthermore, a pang of regret washed over her as she learned that Tommy had forsaken his acting career and abandoned the pursuit of being an actor.Tommy was very good-looking. It was such a pity that he didn't continue pursuing his career in acting."It's settled then. Let's work together in the future."Natalie smiled and said, "Sounds good, Margot. You'll provide the capital, and I'll handle the
Excluding the two years spent in a coma, Curtis had relentlessly longed for Margot like a fervent madman over the past two years. He wanted to find her and bring her back, but she was nowhere to be found. He never imagined that she would choose to settle down in Emeria.He never fathomed that, despite their proximity, they would somehow manage to pass by each other without crossing paths.Fortunately, he still managed to find her.Now that she was in his arms, he vowed never to let her out of his sight again. It truly felt like he had regained a precious treasure that he had lost. Curtis held her tightly in his arms, wishing that she could never leave his side again.He closed his eyes as he greedily indulged in the unique scent on her body that was exclusively hers. He greedily savored her presence.It was only then that his heart, which had been empty and aching for four years, finally found satisfaction.…Meanwhile, Natalie had been lying in bed at the Hexa Villa for qui
When Margot noticed the man hadn't realized she was awake, she quickly got out of bed and gingerly walked toward the door barefoot.However, when she tried to turn the knob, she realized the door wouldn't budge.She was somewhat annoyed.Upon casting another glance at the man on the balcony, Margot truly did not anticipate that, four years later, they would reunite under such unforeseen circumstances.How did he manage to find her?Could Royce or Natalie have exposed her whereabouts?No matter who expressed it, Margot was certain that he wouldn't be willing to set her free, not even after four years had passed. Seated on the bed, she felt a surge of worry. If Lilac couldn't catch sight of her, tears were inevitable.At that moment, the man on the balcony slowly turned around.As the sorrowful gaze from his eyes met Margot's, and he registered her awakening, the furrowed lines on his forehead finally relaxed, and he promptly strode into the room.He walked straight up to Marg
Curtis, impeccably dressed, carried a tray of food to the bedside. Observing Margot bury her head under the blanket, he set the tray down, leaned over, and unveiled her head.Afterward, he bent down and kissed her on the forehead, his eyes filled with mirth."Get up and have something to eat. I'll feed you."Margot recoiled from his touch with disgust. After that, she pulled the blanket over herself again, choosing to ignore him.Curtis noted her behavior but appeared unfazed by it. He sat beside her and said, "You can eat after you've had some rest then."After setting the food aside, he contemplated how long it had been since he had proper sleep. Therefore, he removed his shoes, climbed into the bed, and slipped under the blanket with her. Margot, sensing his impending touch, instinctively curled up at the head of the bed, tightly hugging herself. Curtis was displeased by her resistance. He frowned and questioned, "Are you afraid of me?"Margot avoided his gaze, keeping her
Exhausted, Curtis dismissed the injury on his arm, too fatigued to be concerned. After that, he held Margot firmly in his arms and insisted she sleep with him.Margot initially resisted but succumbed to overwhelming fatigue, realizing further struggle was futile. Besides, she had already reached her limit. Moreover, she still had something to live for in this world. She had to live on.In time, the weariness overcame her, and she slipped into sleep, unaware. Curtis, sensing Margot's stillness, nestled his head against her neck, holding her tightly as if seeking solace from his insecurities. Margot remained unresponsive, and eventually, Curtis, too, succumbed to sleep.…Meanwhile, Anthony rushed back to Hexa Villa and watched the surveillance footage of Margot being taken away.He was so enraged that he nearly threw the computer. Afterward, he angrily scolded the household staff in the villa.Natalie, who was standing nearby, was frightened by Anthony's outburst.He was a ma
Curtis immediately sat up when he heard that Margot was hungry. Feeling guilty, he apologized, "I'm sorry for oversleeping. I forgot you hadn't eaten," while buttoning his shirt, pulling up his pants, and buckling his belt. He smiled and pinched her cheeks. "You must be really hungry, right?"Margot, pursing her lips, sidestepped his touch without a word. Curtis sensed her resistance but didn't dwell on it, promptly proceeding to freshen up.Afterward, he reached out, took her hand, and guided her out of the room. Margot no longer resisted. She intended to feign obedience until she could devise a plan.An extravagant spread adorned the 16-foot-long dining table in the opulent dining room. Curtis, acting like a gentleman, pulled out a chair for Margot, waited for her to sit, and then joined her. He served her some food and watched her as she ate.Margot was indeed hungry. She paid no attention to Curtis and simply focused on eating. After eating and drinking her fill, she finall
