Ashley stormed off after leaving behind a check.

Watching Ashley leave, Margot quickly pulled out her phone and called Curtis. As soon as he answered, she blurted out, "Curtis, you need to go to the nursery and pick Lilac up right now. Your mother is trying to take her from me!"

Curtis was in the kitchen learning to cook from Calvin. Despite the urgency in Margot's voice, he calmly asked, "Did my mother visit you?"

"Yes! You need to hurry and check if Lilac has been taken away. Don't let your mom take her away, or she won't give Lilac back to me."

"Alright, I'll go now. Don't worry, Margot. My mom is Lilac's grandmother after all. She won't hurt Lilac."

"But she wants to separate me from Lilac. I'm warning you, Curtis. I will never forgive you if your family takes Lilac away from me."

Still feeling uneasy, Margot hurried out of the pizzeria.

Royce followed her and started the car.

Curtis could hear the panic in her voice through the phone. As he untied his apron, he reassured h

    Margot lacked confidence in Curtis's ability to safely retrieve Lilac. She felt compelled to go herself and bring Lilac back. If the Crosby family refused to cooperate, they would face her wrath.Observing Margot's anxiety, Royce provided reassurance as he drove toward the Crosby residence."Lilac will be fine. I'll speak with Pamela. I'm sure Martin will return you Lilac after Pamela discusses it with him."After all, Martin indulged Pamela, who in turn always fulfilled Royce's requests.Margot glanced at Royce. Considering Royce's status, she nodded in agreement."Very well. I'll rely on you if they refuse to hand over Lilac."Margot didn't want to ask for the Morris family's help now. Even though they were quite powerful, she didn't want to have anything to do with them unless absolutely necessary. She was especially grateful for Royce's help.Royce gently patted her head and continued to reassure her."Stay calm, Margot. We're almost there."…Curtis arrived at the Crosby

    "I spoke with Margot. She seemed furious when I offered her money to leave you, Curtis. Despite your grandfather and my wishes for you to part ways with her, if you insist on being with her, we won't intervene any longer if she comes to collect Lilac."Moreover, another reason Grandpa consented to your reunion is to secure another child, a boy who can carry on the Crosby family lineage."Ashley had gone to see Margot earlier because she was angry at Margot for deceiving everyone and leaving back then.After all, Curtis got into trouble and almost lost his life because of Margot. Upon seeing Margot again, Ashley felt frustrated that she couldn't express her anger.That was why Ashley purposely intimidated Margot.As a mother, Ashley knew her son's personality all too well. Curtis would resent her profoundly if she became truly hostile toward Margot.Over the years, the elders had observed Curtis' attachment to Margot. They didn't want to drive Curtis into a corner.

    Curtis reached out and took Margot's hand, motioning toward Royce. You're not needed here. Go on," he indicated."I'm here to visit my sister," replied Royce before turning to Margot. "Margot, you should talk things out with him. Give me a call when you're ready to leave. I'll be waiting over there.""Alright," Margot replied.Curtis' gaze remained cold as he watched Royce leave.Margot shook off Curtis' hand and demanded again, "Curtis, tell me what they want you to negotiate with me about."Only then did Curtis look at Margot. He spoke frankly, "Grandpa doesn't want to take Lilac away from you. However, they have a request.""What is it?""They want you to stay too and bear a son for the Crosby family." As Curtis said this, he appeared somewhat guilty, his gaze flickering for a moment. "But having a son isn't something you can decide on your own. As long as you stay, they probably won't interfere as much."Margot was surprised to hear that.They wouldn't take Lilac away. Als

    Margot hesitated upon hearing Curtis' words. For the sake of Lilac and her own peace of mind, she tried to convince herself to reconcile with him.And yet…Her mind drifted back to three years ago, when she struggled through Lilac's birth and narrowly escaped death due to severe bleeding.The doctors informed her that although she was fortunate to survive, she wouldn't be able to conceive any more children in the future.Back then, she hadn't fretted over it, feeling content with her daughter. Remarrying or expanding her family hadn't crossed her mind. But now, the Crosby family expected her to bear another child.How could she fulfill that expectation when she physically couldn't conceive again?Tears welled up in her eyes, turning them crimson as she gazed sadly at the man towering before her."I can't do it, Curtis," she rasped. "You should find someone else to bear the child for you."With that, she pushed his hand away and turned to walk toward Lilac.Curtis only stood fr

    Ashley had escorted Martin upstairs to rest. Upon returning downstairs and finding Curtis alone in the hall, she inquired in a somber tone, "Where are Margot and my granddaughter?""Mom," Curtis informed, "I've talked to Margot, and we'll comply withl your wishes. However, Margot says she doesn't feel comfortable living here, so I allowed her to return home first. If you wish to see Lilac, I'll arrange for her to visit you later. Just please, don't interfere in in our lives anymore.""You let them go just like that?" Ashley demanded angrily.Curtis' expression darkened at those words. "They're not used to this environment, so I allowed them to leave""Why would they be uncomfortable living in such a grand house with numerous servants? What could possibly dissatisfy her? Curt, why do you always take her side? Aren't you concerned she might disappear with Lilac again?"Curtis wasn't worried at all. "Margot won't leave again," he asserted firmly. "This isn't acceptable.

    "I won't be with him," Margot replied, rejecting Royce's assumptions.The Crosby family's pressure for her to have more children was futile; she couldn't conceive anymore. And if she couldn't meet their demands, they would continue to push her to leave Curtis.Rather than succumb to their coercion, Margot preferred to establish clear boundaries with Curtis on her own terms."What are you talking about, Mommy? Who won't you be with?" Lilac's innocent voice interrupted, her head tilted as she observed her mother's troubled expression.Margot hugged her tight. "It's nothing."Even though Royce had clearly heard what Margot said about her not being with Curtis, he couldn't bring himself to believe her words.The Margot he knew was susceptible to influence. Unless he adopted a more ruthless approach and extended a helping hand.Suddenly, Margot's phone rang. She glanced at the screen—it was from the hospital.The doctor on the other end of the line informed, "Ms. Stone, the patient

    Anthony's sister, Zyla, was standing right there.Anthony and Zyla had grown up together until she got lost at the age of three. But Frederick had found her two years later and brought her back.Zyla was his real sister. How could Margot possibly be a part of the Morris family?Regina must have lied to him because she didn't want him to be with Margot.He didn't believe it."Anthony, don't overthink and get some rest. Lilac and I hope to see you recover soon." Seeing that he was being emotional, Margot immediately comforted him.She did not know what was wrong with this family. They clearly knew that Anthony was not in the best condition. He had just woken up, but the Morris family had already told him that she was his sister.This would obviously agitate him."Margot, answer me first. You're not my sister, right?" Anthony asked urgently again.Anthony would remain dissatisfied without a clear answer. How could she be his sister?Fate was playing a joke on him. He was about t

    As Royce came closer, Margot quickly said, "I'll go back myself. You stay here."She refused to be around the Morris family and equally desired to avoid Royce's advances when Zyla was present. With Lilac in her arms, Margot hurried off."I'll see you off, Margot." Calvin hurriedly followed her.Royce's attempt to follow Margot was swiftly halted by Zyla after he had taken only a few paces."Royce, I'm still here. Can't you see me? Even you don't want me anymore, huh?"Royce stopped in his tracks and flung away Zyla's hand without hesitating.He turned around and looked at her coldly."Zyla, I'll clarify things with you, especially since Mrs. Morris is here. I've never loved you. The person I love has always been Margot."I fell in love with her in Amberville while in university, so I want to call off our engagement. I won't ever marry you."Then, he turned to Regina and said, "Mrs. Morris, it's fate that I met Margot. I hope you can call off my engagement with Zyla so that I c

    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
