After breakfast, Margot and Curtis left Lilac at the Crosby residence and went out together. Since Curtis's health was stable, they didn't need to visit the hospital that day. Instead, Margot treated Curtis to her pizzeria. However, on the way, they had to make a detour to Curtis' company to handle some urgent business, with plans to meet up with Margot later in the afternoon.

Despite being busy at her pizzeria, Margot couldn't shake off thoughts about Natalie's predicament and decided to call her. Natalie answered with a weary voice, "Margot?"

"Natalie, have you managed to contact Gabriel? Is Benjamin alright?" she asked.

"I'm back in Amberville, currently discussing legal actions with my lawyer," Natalie replied.

"What? He won't return Benjamin to you? Where are you? I'll come to you."

After getting the address of the law firm, Margot hurriedly left. Coincidentally, she bumped into Calvin. He approached her, hoping to mend fences. "Margot, are you busy? If not, can we talk?"

    Calvin's expression shifted as he processed the news of Natalie taking legal action against Gabriel for her son. It seemed she chose to confront the situation in court rather than compromise herself further just to be near her child. A surge of determination welled within Calvin, not just to stand by her side but also a profound sense of fulfillment in knowing she relied on him."Thank you, Margot," he expressed his gratitude sincerely, though Margot couldn't fathom why he was thanking her. She looked at him and sternly said, "You assured me you wouldn't disappoint me and would make Natalie happy. If you ever break your word, I won't forgive you."Raising his hand, Calvin vowed, "I swear to you, I won't break my promise or let you down."Satisfied with his earnest demeanor, Margot said no more. Upon reaching the law firm, she chose to remain in the car. She urged, "Go ahead, inform them I had to leave due to urgent matters."She knew very well that her presence wouldn't significan

    Calvin was ecstatic when he heard Natalie call out his name in his arms. He knew that Natalie held him in her heart; she needed him. Embracing her even tighter, he assured, "I will, Natalie. Just give me one day. By tomorrow, I'll have your son back with us."Cupping her tear-stained face in his hands, Calvin gently added, "Don't worry, leave everything to me. I won't let him get away with it."Natalie couldn't help but feel somewhat incredulous about Calvin's confidence. She moved away from his embrace, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at him.After all, Gabriel, much like Curtis, was a powerful figure in Amberville. Even though Calvin was impressive, he wasn't native to Amberville. Could he truly bring Benjamin back unscathed?"Do you trust me?" Calvin implored, holding Natalie's delicate face in his hands, gazing deeply into her eyes.Natalie finally relented when she saw the determination in Calvin's eyes. She didn't want to fight the battle with Gabriel on her own a

    "What are you going to do? I don't agree. She wasn't born by my mom. So, she's not my sister. Let me go, I want to see my mom."Upon seeing Benjamin's intense reaction, Gordon and Marianne quickly backed off, trying to soothe him from a distance."Benjamin, you got it wrong. Grandpa and Grandma won't make you save Camilla anymore. She's gone, she won't come back."Don't worry, Benjamin. We won't harm you," Gordon and Marianne reassured him."You are all liars, tricking me and my mom. I don't want to see any of you," Benjamin yelled, pushing past them and running toward the door.Standing nearby, Gabriel grabbed his hand. "Benjamin, we are all your family. Do you even want to abandon Dad too?"Benjamin halted, turned back, and glared at Gabriel.Benjamin's impression of this supposed dad ran deep.He recalled numerous occasions when Gabriel went to Cordonia to visit him, trying to win his favor, buying him all sorts of cool stuff.But did Gabriel believe those could make Benjam

    When confronted by Gabriel, Calvin smirked coldly, "Sorry, Mr. Sawyer. I'm here for Benjamin today. Just hand him over peacefully, and we can all walk away without any issues. "But if you insist on being stubborn, don't blame me for taking action." With those words, he signaled subtly with his eyes.His subordinates were determined to snatch Benjamin.Benjamin recognized Calvin.He had visited their home twice before to look for Natalie. He was her friend.If Benjamin went with him, he would definitely get to see Natalie.Thus, Benjamin struggled against the nanny holding him back, crying, "Save me, Uncle Calvin. I want my mom...""Benjamin, I am your dad." Gabriel was enraged when he saw Benjamin calling for help from an outsider.Gabriel moved faster than Calvin's subordinates, pulling Benjamin from the nanny's grasp and holding him tight.The subordinates backed off at this.Benjamin did not want Gabriel getting close to him. So, he bit down hard on Gabriel's arm that was

    Marianne, refusing to accept Gabriel's words, cried and threw a fit, "I don't care. Go and get Benjamin back, or don't bother coming back home."Gordon was furious, his face flushed with rage as he angrily scolded, "Useless! You can't even protect Benjamin. Letting an outsider come and snatch him away. Where will our reputation go if this gets out?""When you all forced me to hide the truth from Nat, wanting to extract Benjamin's bone marrow, you didn't seem to care much about him."Gabriel glanced coldly at Gordon and Marianne, finally letting out the resentment he had harbored for years."I know you've never been happy with Nat as your daughter-in-law, and you've never really cared for Benjamin either."If it weren't for Camilla passing away and my reluctance to remarry, would you still care about Benjamin?"Gordon and Marianne remained silent. "We never deserved to be Benjamin's family, and now we have even less right to compete with Nat for him."Mom and Dad, ask yourselve

    Natalie slept for a solid seven hours, the only time she had managed to do so in the past three days.It was strange, but Calvin's assurance that she would see Benjamin when she woke up actually worked, putting her to sleep.And surprisingly, she didn't have any dreams.But as soon as she woke up, her mind immediately went to Benjamin.Subconsciously, she sat up and called out, "Benjamin...""Mom, I'm here..." Benjamin, who had been waiting by her side, saw Natalie wake up and hurriedly rushed over.Natalie stared at Benjamin, who had suddenly appeared before her, completely stunned.She thought she was dreaming.So, she raised her hand and gave herself a light tap on the forehead, trying to snap out of it."Mom, why are you hitting yourself?" Benjamin hurriedly stopped her, concerned.Natalie gazed once more at the familiar face before her, lifting her hands to touch Benjamin's handsome face, finding it hard to believe her eyes."Benjamin, is that really you? You're back?"

    "Benjamin, you must be starving. Try Uncle Calvin's cooking, see if it's delicious?" Benjamin didn't know that Calvin, who saved him, had feelings for Natalie. He only knew Calvin was her friend. So, he politely nodded and said, "Yeah. Thanks, Uncle Calvin.""No problem." Calvin's gaze then shifted back to Natalie as he served her food. "You should eat too.""Okay." Feeling a bit embarrassed, Natalie lowered her head, using eating as a way to hide her awkwardness.In the living room, Margot and Curtis sat close together and didn't go over. It was already evening, and they had already finished dinner. Besides, it didn't seem appropriate to interrupt them. So, the couple pretended to be engrossed in watching TV. However, Margot couldn't resist occasionally glancing at the three people in the dining room. The sight gave her a warm feeling of a family.Curtis reached over and gently nudged her head, whispering, "Stop looking at what others are doing, look at me."Margot glan

    Margot couldn't shake off her worry over Curtis going to the nightclub alone late at night. She insisted, "You can go, but I'll drive you there, okay?"Margot felt at ease only when she was with him.After all, he wasn't as tough as he was four years ago. She truly feared that he might suddenly collapse one day. By then, it would be too late for regrets.Deep down, Curtis felt somewhat smug. He sensed that Margot could not live without him anymore.Raising his hand, he habitually pinched her cheek, smiling as he replied, "Alright, you can drive me there."Margot immediately picked up the car keys from the coffee table. Then, she looked at the three people in the dining room and said, "Natalie, you guys go ahead and eat. I'm going out with Curtis. We have something to attend to."Natalie looked up after hearing that. "It's already so late, and you're still heading out? Is it because of Lilac's matter?""Yes, get some rest after eating. You don't have to wait for us," Margot

    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
