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
Margot stopped walking and pulled away from Curtis' hand.Curtis looked at her and asked, "What's wrong, Margot?"She met his gaze and asked, "Do you really intend to keep me here forever?"Curtis raised his brow slightly and gave a faint smile. He then stood up and cupped Margot's face, gazing deeply into her eyes. "Isn't it wonder to live here with me for the rest of our lives?""Don't you have work to attend to?" Margot asked, her expression unchanged. Curtis smiled wryly and said, "Work is nothing compared to having you by my side. Margot, you're my everything. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay right here with you."In doing so, could she escape from him?Even if she tried to flee, he would pursue her. He'd follow her to the ends of the earth and for all eternity.Finally figuring out Curtis, Margot was at a loss for words. Curtis' behavior was increasingly paranoid and abnormal, approaching the brink of madness. A confrontation might worsen the situation.Meeting his g
What would happen to Lilac if she didn't leave here?Besides, to Margot, Curtis was rotten to the core. She would go crazy if she stayed with him.Not wanting to waste her time on him, Margot walked away. She returned to the hotel room and locked the door to prevent Curtis from getting close to her again. However, Curtis would get restless without her. Her absence would affect his appetite and sleep. As such, he kicked open the locked door with one swift kick. Entering the room, he discovered Margot seated on the bed. Consequently, he approached her and climbed onto the bed, seeking proximity to her.Margot regarded him with a cold stare, making no effort to avoid him. Given his ability to kick open doors, her resistance seemed futile now.Fortunately, Curtis merely rested his head on her shoulder and didn't do anything else. He said, "I won't force you, but please don't push me away. Let me hold you while you sleep or simply lay beside you."Curtis found contentment in her p
