Margot didn't care about the Morrises at the door. She focused solely on Lilac, doing whatever she needed.

As they lay in bed that night, Lilac couldn't contain her curiosity.

"Mommy, were those the old witch and her family just now? Are they going to take me away again and not let me be with you?"

Lilac hadn't seen their faces clearly because her head was buried against Margot's arm. She heard their voices, and one of them sounded like that annoying old witch.

Margot hugged Lilac tightly in her arms.

"No one will dare to take you away from me anymore," she reassured.

"Okay."

Lilac nodded, then tilted her head to look up at Margot, her voice soft as she said, "But Mommy, do I really not have a daddy? I want a daddy to play with, just like other kids."

Margot hesitated. Feeling guilty, she held Lilac even closer.

"Lilac, isn't Mommy enough for you? I will work hard to make the business successful so that I can be with you every day, alright?"

"Mommy's great and all, but I

    Curtis wondered, could Calvin know that Margot was his sister? How did he find her? Had Margot acknowledged him? Margot also spotted them. She didn't understand why these two men had come so early in the morning. She wanted to avoid them. But the two men coincidentally stepped forward to intercept her. "Margot, I'll drive you to work," Curtis said. "Margot, can we talk for a few minutes?" Calvin said. After both men spoke, their gazes met again. There was an inexplicable tension in the air.Calvin was the first to break the silence."Aren't you Mr. Crosby? How do you know my sister? I remember you said you hadn't met her, didn't you?"Curtis sneered, "So now Margot's long-gone family decides to make a comeback, huh?""You…"Calvin turned to Margot with frustration in his eyes. "Margot, stay away from this man. I asked him about your whereabouts before, and he lied to me, claiming he didn't know you."Margot fell silent. Ignoring both men, Margot walked to the roadside

    The mention of the "Morrises of Emeria" momentarily stunned Curtis. Wasn't Anthony Frederick's son?Standing before Curtis now was Calvin, who was not only Frederick's eldest but also Margot's biological brother?In that case, was Anthony truly Margot's brother as well? Curtis was both shocked and incredulous. How could that be possible? Lilac was almost three years old now. How could Margot and Anthony possibly be siblings?Curtis was in disbelief. He looked at Calvin and asked, "Are you sure you're Margot's biological brother? Have you done a paternity test? And is Anthony truly your brother?"Upon hearing Anthony being brought up, Calvin admitted without hesitation, "Anthony is indeed my biological brother. Also, I wouldn't be bothering Margot without being sure about our relationship." "In that case, do you have any idea about Margot's relationship with Anthony?" Curtis pressed.Calvin couldn't fathom the sudden outburst of agitation from Curtis. Nevertheless, he decid

    "Mister, my name is Lilac Stone. Does it sound nice? Mom gave me this name."Curtis was surprised and thought, "Lilac Stone?"He immediately realized that this child might be his. He hugged her tightly, resting his head on hers, so overwhelmed with excitement that tears welled up in his eyes.Even if he already had a feeling that she was his child, he needed facts to show Margot. Hence, he brought Lilac to the hospital for a DNA test.As it was a test done on urgency, the results were out on the same day in the afternoon.When the report confirmed that Curtis was indeed Lilac's father, he couldn't contain his emotions any longer and broke down in tears. He cried with Lilac in his arms as he stood there in the walkway of the hospital.Lilac sat on his lap and licked her ice cream as she asked, "Mister, what's wrong? Are you crying because I didn't want to share my ice cream with you? I'll give it to you now, okay?"Then, she placed the ice cream near his lips.Curtis looked at

    When Lilac saw Margot's angry look, she quickly caressed her mother's face and explained, "Mommy, it's not his fault. Mister brought me to the hospital today."Margot asked in concern, "What's wrong? Are you sick, or are you hurt?"Lilac shook her head and waved her hands. "No, Mommy, I feel great."Margot didn't believe what Lilac said, so she turned to Curtis. "Why did you bring her to the hospital? What's wrong with her?"Curtis looked at Margot. He felt so guilty and regretful when he recalled how he had been insulting and accusing her, hurting her to the extreme.He shouldn't have locked her up on an island after he saw her again four years later, and he'd even tortured her.She had always loved him. It was because of her love for him that she still gave birth to the child alone and raised their child all on her own.Curtis wondered how Margot could be so foolish to do all that. If it weren't for the constant search by the Morris family and him crossing paths with Calvin,

    Why would Margot be with someone who had harmed her brother?After calming down, Margot pushed Curtis away with all her might.She put some distance between them and asked, "Do you think it's possible? Curtis, even if you didn't cheat on me back then and I still misunderstood you, have you forgotten about Anthony, who's still lying unconscious in the hospital?"Curtis remained silent. He knew it was his fault, but it was Anthony who had attacked him first. Even when he found out Anthony was Margot's brother, Curtis still didn't think it was his fault.He looked at Margot and asked in a low voice, "I apologize for the matters on the island, but as for Anthony, I will try my best to help him recover, okay?""Can you make sure he recovers fully? Can you make him go back to normal?" Margot didn't believe him.She had asked the doctors multiple times, and they'd told her whether he could regain consciousness was a matter of fate. Even if Anthony could wake up, he would be bedridde

    Margot was taken aback by the unexpected sight of Calvin at her door. His usual stern countenance had softened into a warm smile as he presented her with two large bags. "Margot, my dearest sister, I've brought you some things.""Who asked for these? And who said you're my brother? Calvin, didn't I tell you to stay away?" she retorted, already preparing to shut the door in his face.But Calvin stepped forward, blocking the doorway with his imposing frame, and continued with a soothing tone, "Margot, I'm just worried about you and Lilac being alone. "That's why I've moved in next door. I know you're busy with your new shop, so I thought I could help out—maybe even cook some meals for you. My cooking isn't half bad, you know."Margot remained silent, glaring at Calvin with unyielding resolve. Before she could speak, Curtis stepped forward and pulled her behind him."I warned you before, Calvin. Margot wants nothing to do with you. You'd better leave her alone," Curtis warned ster

    After saying that, Calvin bent down, grabbed Curtis, and dragged him away. Curtis had thought that after taking a beating and getting injured, Margot would take him in. But he was wrong. She just ignored him and let Calvin take him away. Did she really not fear that Calvin would kill him?Margot paused, realizing that Calvin was about to take Curtis away. Thinking about the Morris family's methods of retaliation, she knew they would not even show mercy to a defenseless woman, let alone someone like Curtis, who had injured Anthony. If he fell into Calvin's hands, he would be in danger. Would she be happy if he died? Lilac still wanted her father. In the next moment, just as Calvin dragged the dazed Curtis toward the door, Margot hastily called out, "Wait!"Calvin looked back. "What's wrong?"Margot said, "Let him go."Calvin was reluctant, "Why? He's the one who injured Anthony, and Anthony is still unconscious. Or do you like this man?"Margot felt a pang of guilt and

    Margot got up to prepare dinner after she finished tending to Curtis' injuries. She then noticed Calvin was already cooking for them.She wanted him to leave but couldn't bring herself to kick him out.Forget it. Calvin could prepare dinner for them if he liked.Margot then looked at Curtis and warned him, "You better stay put if you still want that leg of yours to recover."Curtis gently smiled and replied obediently, "Okay, I'll definitely stay put."He would remain as docile as possible as long as she wouldn't kick him out. His gaze was full of affection when he looked at Margot. Margot didn't even look at him as she turned away to enter her room.It turned out that Lilac had fallen asleep. No wonder there weren't any sounds from the room even after she had been there for such a long time.Margot walked over to sit by the bedside as she watched Lilac. She spent some time quietly contemplating her relationship with Curtis.After Calvin finished preparing dinner, he proceede

    Curtis didn't argue with her, and instead, he took her hand and led her inside.Margot noticed that despite Curtis' stern demeanor, he still showed care for her through his actions. She smiled knowingly and playfully asked while walking beside him, "What, can't find me at certain times and you're worried I ran off with someone else?"Curtis glanced at her and scoffed."Would you dare? If you dare run off with someone else, I'll break your legs."Despite speaking harsh words, the expression on the face and the gaze in the eyes directed at Margot were so gentle, it seemed as if they could bring forth tears.Margot listened to his violent words and stared at him, "Say it again, whose legs are you going to break?"Curtis was standing there. Although he still had a bit of presence, his facial expression already showed defeat.Before he could try to please his wife again, Margot had already brushed past him and slipped through the mansion's front doors.While running, he shouted, "An

    So Gabriel had to personally drive her wherever she needed to go.Curtis listened to the two people and narrowed his eyes again."Who else?""Anthony."Anthony?Curtis was momentarily taken aback.Then, he saw Anthony coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a plate, and walking into the dining room.He set down his coat and told Luna, "You sit, I'll go help.""Go ahead."Curtis followed into the kitchen and saw that Anthony and Gabriel were acting as if they were in their own home, helping themselves to whatever they wanted to eat and making it themselves.He also felt a bit embarrassed and walked over, saying, "It's not right to have you cook since you're visiting, let me do it instead."Gabriel glanced at him and said, "We all treat you like one of us, so why are you being so formal with us?"Anthony responded, "I'm making it for my wife, after all, she only eats the food that I make."Curtis shook his head helplessly.They were showing off their relatio

    Margot and Lena turned their heads at the same time.Jordan was dressed in a British-style uniform with a backpack. At eight years old, he stood around four feet tall. His smile was like a little ray of sunshine and could really brighten anyone's day.He shouted, "Mom, Aunt Lena, did you come specifically to pick me up?"Every time Margot heard Jordan call her "mom," it filled her heart with warmth.She raised her hand to give him a hug, gently ruffled his hair, and said, "Of course I'm here to pick you up, get in the car.""It's been a month since I last saw you, and you've grown taller."Lena pulled Jordan onto the vehicle and started driving.Sitting in the car, Jordan couldn't help but smile as he looked at his senior.Lena looked at him and smiled, "Living here, how does it compare to being up in the mountains?"Jordan's eyes landed on Margot, filled with warmth and joy."Wherever my mom and dad are, I feel is the best place. Of course, I'm not saying that being with Mas

    Margot greeted them with a smile, saying, "I thought you two would be quietly enjoying your romantic time at the estate. I didn't expect you'd come over to see us!"Lena reached out and gently pinched Louis' round cheeks, then looked at Margot and said, "You keep saying that, but you're not working, so why don't you come visit us?""I'm at home taking care of the kids. You have no idea how challenging it is.""Heh, you're just unfairly blaming Louis. Our little Louis is clearly very well-behaved."Lena ignored Margot and couldn't help but give Louis a couple of kisses after picking him up.Anthony walked over and asked, "Where is everyone else?"Margot motioned for them to come over and sit down, then poured them some water."Natalie just had her baby not long ago, and my in-laws went with Natalie's parents and the others to visit the babies, and they're also going to visit Dad."Whenever Anthony talked about his oblivious elderly father, he got frustrated.He didn't ask any m

    Frederick, exuding the presence of the head of the family, welcomed the arriving in-laws with a smile.Afterwards, he behaved well and didn't mention anything about Yasmine, nor did he cause any trouble with his sons.The in-laws were very careful not to mention Frederick's injury, as they didn't want to hurt his pride.Daniel saw how lively it was at home and decided to bring Ena's mother over so that the in-laws could take the opportunity to get to know each other better.In the days that followed, everyone got along very well.In Amberville, Alice Manor.Anthony and Lena were enjoying a peaceful and romantic time together here. No one was bothering them, and they were not going out to work.The two of them spent the entire day cozied up at home.It involved either snacking while watching a movie or playing games followed by some cuddling and kissing.Anthony often made delicious food for Lena and took care of her so well that she seemed completely pampered.This caused Len

    "If you won't let me bring her into the family, fine, I'll set up a large estate elsewhere. When the time comes, I won't let you in either."Daniel felt that his father was quite childish.He chuckled and said, "How about this, once the guests leave, I'll take you back to Yasmine. Then you can tell her that you've cut all ties with us and you want nothing. At that point, Yasmine is still willing to stay by your side and take care of you, then we'll do as you wish. How about that?Regarding the greedy Coran siblings, it was important to know that their father didn't have anything valuable left on him, and they wouldn't gain any benefits either.It would be surprising if she still stayed by Frederick's side."Don't underestimate people; Yasmine's love for me is genuine."Frederick didn't want to bet with Daniel.Human nature was something that shouldn't be gambled on.Daniel laughed again. "Are you afraid of losing, Dad?"Frederick stared at Daniel and said, "When have I ever be

    Yasmine was not happy when she heard she would be left alone.She knelt beside Frederick, holding his hand and pleading desperately, "Frederick, you can't do this. You can't leave me here alone. If you leave, they'll treat me badly again, just like before. Can you take me with you? Even if it's just to be your nanny, I'm begging you!"Frederick could not stand seeing women cry.When Yasmine pleaded like that, he softened and turned to look at Daniel.Daniel, with a blank expression, said, "Dad, do you really want your in-laws to see you like this?"Frederick also looked upset and said in a serious tone:"Couldn't you say she's my nanny? Who would know?""We have kids at home, do they lie?"Frederick had no choice but to turn to Yasmine and said, "Just stay here. They won’t dare bother you again. I'm leaving now."He raised his hand to signal Daniel to push the wheelchair.Daniel pushed the wheelchair forward.However, Yasmine was unwilling and tried to stop it again.The he

    "Are we supposed to live here for the rest of our lives? Even if we have to stay here, at least give us the freedom to come and go as we please."Look at how they've sent so many people to watch over us again, clearly treating us like prisoners."Noticing that Frederick's expression was starting to soften, Yasmine continued to stoke the fire."Tell me, is there any way sons should be treating their father like this? They just want to drive you to your limits so they can split up your assets. Frederick, you can't let them have their way, or else you'll spend your whole life working tirelessly for them only to end up in such a miserable situation. How pitiable that would be.Frederick was speechless.He didn't want to go back. But if he did, his sons would have to treat him with great respect.He hoped that Calvin would bring the military seal, and it had been two days now, yet they still hadn't delivered it to him.Was he really planning on not giving it to him?As soon as he th

    She ignored him, and Tommy didn't take the initiative to talk to her either to avoid making her overthink.After sitting in the living room for a while, he waited for all the members of the Crosby family to come downstairs. Once they did, he followed them to the dining room for a meal.As soon as Tommy arrived, Laura put down her fork, got up, and without looking back, said, "Enjoy your meal, I'm heading to the university.""Heading out so early?" Ashley asked.However, she didn't respond and slipped out the door directly.Elias said, "There's an exam coming up, so she's been very focused. She goes in early every day."Curtis and the others didn't seem to mind and invited Tommy to sit down.Only Margot knew why Laura walked so quickly.It was because Tommy was here.Laura had a crush on this big celebrity, and since she couldn't be with him, it was naturally difficult for her to interact with him further.So it was completely understandable that she avoided him whenever she s
