Margot saw that Curtis seemed a bit guilty, so she asked frankly, "Did you hear what I said to Anthony just now?""No, what did you guys talk about?" He pretended to be clueless.Margot stared at him intently and said, "You did hear, right? Curtis, I only agreed to him to reassure him. I don't really want to cut off contact with you."She took the initiative to hold his hand, encouraging him, "Don't worry about it. Anthony might need a long time to recover. During this period, you just don't have to meet him. Although I agreed with him, he can't leave the ward and doesn't know about us. So, don't overthink it, okay?"Both of these men were important to Margot. But they were facing the brink of death, and she had no choice but to lie. She hoped that the man in front of her would understand her.Curtis looked at Margot in front of him and fell silent. So, she didn't really want to leave him. She had said those words just to reassure Anthony. For some reason, Curtis suddenly felt dee
After all, Margot was soft-hearted and knew how to be grateful. Was it because she was afraid he would have regrets that she forced herself to stay by his side, or was it because she truly loved him and couldn't bear for anything to happen to him?Margot avoided his embrace and looked at him with a firm gaze. She said, "Curtis, can't you see my feelings for you? Before I knew you were sick, I had already slept with you. If I didn't love you, would I have done such a thing with you? Or is it that in your heart, you think I'm just—""Enough, stop talking." Curtis raised his hand to cover her small mouth and hugged her again. "I just felt it was a bit unreal. I felt like you were a little hedgehog that wouldn't let me get close again."He continued, "But now I understand. You're still the same as before, always loving me. You can't leave me."With that, it was enough. Curtis held her in his arms again. He felt his heart, which had been beating bloody, gradually being filled. He was
The doctor had just finished administering the medicine and left.Margot asked, "Anthony, what do you want to eat? I'll go out and bring it for you."Anthony didn't know where Margot had been during her absence, but the fact that she came back made him content.Looking at Margot, his voice still sounded weak. "I don't feel like eating anything now. Just stay with me and talk."Margot sat down. "What do you want to talk about?""Has Curtis been bothering you recently?"This was Amberville. It was Curtis' territory. If Margot stayed here, she would inevitably be harassed by Curtis. Regina's intention was for him to persuade Margot to return to Emeria.Anthony thought it would be better to return. That way, Curtis wouldn't have the chance to get close to Margot again.Margot's eyes flickered and she lied, "Curtis knows that Lilac is his daughter, so he will occasionally appear. But I promised you that I won't have any contact with him. You can be rest assured.""I'm not assured."
Margot paused her steps, her gaze falling on Zyla."What do we have to talk about?" She still didn't want to engage and tried to walk around her.But Zyla persisted and blocked her path. "Margot, I can give you my identity as the youngest princess of the Morris family, but you must not compete with me for Royce."Zyla stared at Margot with hostility in her eyes.Margot stopped again and looked at the crazy woman in front of her. She couldn't help but sneer coldly. "Give it to me? Let's not even talk about whether you're qualified to use the word 'give.' I'm not interested in being a daughter of the Morris family. Furthermore, I wouldn't stoop so low as to compete with you for anyone. Get out of my way and stop blocking my path."Margot stood there, her petite stature exuding a fierce aura. Her entire body seemed covered in thorns, discouraging any attempts to come closer.Zyla felt a bit fearful of her, but she didn't want to lose her dignity. Throughout her life, nobody dared to
Zyla would absolutely not let Margot take away everything that belonged to her, Including Royce.Everything was hers, all of it, and all of her family were hers alone.As long as Margot disappeared from this world, there would be no one to compete with her.Yes, Zyla must find a way to get rid of Margot.Thinking of this, Zyla touched her swollen cheek. She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with revenge and resentment....Margot went to the pizzeria and had the chef prepare some meals for her. While waiting for the food, a waiter came to her and said, "Boss, there's a man over there looking for you."Margot came out of the kitchen and looked in the direction the waiter pointed. When she saw it was Gabriel, she was somewhat curious.Why was Gabriel looking for her?Margot approached him with suspicion.Gabriel found a seat. When he saw Margot coming over, he greeted her with a smile."Margot, you're doing well. The pizzeria is fairing well."Margot sat down opposite him an
Gabriel stood up, a restrained smile hanging on his handsome face. "I just wanted to ask. It's nothing. Since you're busy, I'll leave first."It wasn't until Margot watched Gabriel leave that she realized what he meant.She messed up.Natalie must not have wanted Gabriel to bother her, so she lied about being with Calvin.And what did Margot do just now? She denied it.Margot hurriedly took out her phone and called Natalie.When Natalie answered, Margot apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Margot, I ruined your plan."Natalie was puzzled. "What plan did you ruin for me?""Just now, Gabriel came to ask me about you and Calvin. He asked if you two were together, and I said no."There was silence on the other end.Margot continued to apologize, "I'm sorry, Natalie. I didn't realize it until Gabriel left, but it was too late.""Margot..." Natalie suddenly called out."Hmm?""I think Calvin is a pretty good guy. If I really got together with him, would you support us?"Natalie was
Margot said, "Alright, Natalie. No matter what you do, as long as you're happy, I'll support you."Natalie couldn't help but laugh again, "Thank you, Margot, I love you, mwah~"Margot felt it was too cheesy and quickly hung up the phone.After the chef finished preparing the meal, she packed it up and took a cab back to the hospital.Coincidentally, she met Calvin coming out of the hospital building again when she was entering.Calvin was on the phone. When he saw Margot, he gently said to the person on the other end of the line, "I've met my sister. I'll hang up now and talk later."After hanging up, he smiled and approached Margot. "Margot, did you bring food for Anthony?"Thinking of Natalie's affection for this guy, Margot reluctantly responded, "Hmm."She couldn't help but ask again, "Do you... like Natalie?"Calvin didn't expect his sister to suddenly ask about this. He smiled gently and admitted without hesitation, "Yes, I like Natalie.""But you two have only known ea
Curtis wanted to leave? He was sick and still wasn't taking it seriously. He was still thinking about running around.Margot looked at Curtis. Feeling unhappy, she asked, "Where are you going? What are you going to do? Is there anything more important than your treatment?"If what he wanted to do couldn't convince her, she wouldn't allow him to leave.Curtis lifted his head to meet Margot's gaze, his eyes full of tenderness. He didn't hide the truth as he said, "I'm going to the countryside to find someone. That person can heal Anthony's leg injury."His subordinates called him back, saying that the miracle doctor was mysterious and unwilling to see outsiders, let alone return to Amberville with them. Curtis thought that if he wanted to ask him for help, he had to be sincere. Since his subordinates couldn't bring him here, he would go and ask in person. No matter what, he had to bring the miracle doctor back to heal Anthony. After Anthony recovered, Curtis would then have the r
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
