"Margie, I've thought about it carefully. Natalie and I are indeed not suitable. She has been married and has children. Our parents won't allow me to marry her. But Lena is different."Despite growing up in the mountains, she is hardworking, kind-hearted, and skilled. If I marry a girl like her, the Morris family will benefit greatly."The implication was that he preferred his interests more than doing it for Margot and his brother."You're lying."Margot was somewhat agitated, grabbing him and shouting, "Calvin, you promised me before that you would treat Natalie well! Please don't do this."Let's go back to the hospital and find the doctor again. I don't believe that all the doctors in the world can't cure Curtis and Anthony. Come on, let's go home together."She pulled Calvin, intending to drag him away. But he remained unmoved. Curtis stepped forward to stop her actions."Margot, listen to him."Margot refused, turning to Curtis and shouting, "If I listen to him, then what
Knowing that Margot hadn't eaten anything, Natalie offered her a skewer of ribs that her brother had grilled."Eat something. It's quite chilly here at night. Hurry up. We'll have a bonfire later."When Margot saw Natalie force a grin, she stopped talking about it and took the ribs, slowly nibbling on them.Tommy brought over a plate of vegetables and called Curtis, who was holding Lilac on the side."Curtis, come over and eat.""Okay."He agreed and sat down beside Margot, holding his daughter. With sufficient light here, Lilac finally saw what her father looked like.She pouted and touched his stubble, innocently asking, "Daddy, why do you look so ugly now? You're so tanned. Your beard pokes my hand."Curtis felt inexplicably sad as he heard Lilac's comments. He glanced at Margot beside him. Seeing that she didn't care about him, he turned to his daughter and asked, "Does my appearance disappoint you?""No, I think you look cool. I like you like this."To prevent her father
Margot raised her head. "No one could have expected things to develop like this.""I think there's still hope."Margot was puzzled by Tommy's response.Tommy met her gaze and asked, "What do you think of me?""You're great.""How great?""You cook well, you're handsome, and you're young.""So, if I manage to win Lena's heart, will everything be solved?"Since they needed that miracle doctor's help, and he had to have Lena marry Calvin, why not intervene? Wouldn't everything be resolved if Lena fell for Tommy instead?"Tommy, what are you saying? You don't even like her.""Who says I don't like her? Although I haven't met her, she seems like an interesting person based on what you said, and I like interesting people."Most people around him were already in relationships, and he hadn't met anyone he liked yet.If he could do something meaningful now, wouldn't Margot, Curtis, and Calvin all be grateful to him?He also wanted to see if that amazing miracle doctor could foresee
Tommy seemed to want to meet Lena as soon as possible. He changed into a sharp outfit in the RV and tidied up the gifts they were going to bring to Lena.When he got out of the RV, he told Natalie, "I'll be up the mountain with Calvin for a while. We probably won't come back to rest later. You guys be careful. Curtis, take care of the kids."With Lilac and Margot here, Curtis indeed couldn't leave them alone tonight. He would have to stay behind to watch over them."Okay. You go ahead."As Tommy left, he couldn't help but take another look at Natalie. Seeing her gaze fixed on the darkness not far away, he knew she still cared a lot about Calvin.For Natalie's happiness, as well as for Curtis and Margot, he had a long way to go. This time, he must achieve his goal.Approaching Margot, Tommy took the flashlight from her and said, "Don't worry, leave everything to me. We'll be going now.""Okay, be safe."It wasn't until Calvin left with Tommy that Margot withdrew her gaze and wal
Inside the RV at the foot of the mountain, Natalie slept in a bit in the morning since she couldn't sleep all night.Seeing the two children sleeping soundly beside her, Margot didn't disturb them and got up early to prepare breakfast.To her surprise, as soon as she got out of the RV, she saw Curtis already starting a fire not far away. She went over to help.Curtis greeted her as she approached, "Why are you up already? It's still early.""I wanted to see if you had left."Margot squatted down beside him. Although the sun was barely up, she could see Curtis' face clearly.He seemed to have shaved off his stubble with Tommy's razor, and now his appearance had improved again. His skin was a little tanned, and his handsome and charismatic features were striking."I'll be going up the mountain later, but before I leave, I'll help you prepare the food."Curtis was still indifferent and didn't even look at Margot when he spoke.As Margot washed up, she asked, "Will you come back d
"How did he know we were here? Is he here for Natalie?"This was bad. With Gabriel appearing at a time like this, Calvin, who was already in a dangerous position, would be even more at risk, wouldn't he?Curtis went to meet him. "Why did you come here?"Gabriel slammed the car door and looked at him. "You've got the nerve to ask. Why didn't you tell me you were coming here?"He scanned the surroundings and then asked casually, "Where's Nat?""She's still sleeping in the RV.""Then let her sleep for now. Are you two making breakfast? I can help you."In order to have a legitimate reason to stay, he volunteered to help with everything. This was a rare opportunity. He must take advantage of it to resolve the conflict with his son and have a good talk with Natalie.Margot sneaked into the RV. Seeing that the children and Natalie were still asleep, she gently patted Natalie and whispered, "Natalie…"Natalie was a light sleeper. She wouldn't have still been in bed at 6:00 am if she
Curtis checked the time. It was getting late.He gently held Margot's hand and said in a deep voice, "I'll be going now. When Lilac wakes up, tell her I've gone to pick watermelons for her. I'll be back at noon.""Okay."Seeing Margot was still somewhat unhappy, Curtis bent down to kiss her. "Don't worry. I'll only be gone for a little while.""I'm not worried. Go ahead. It's not like I'm stopping you."Still sensing her reluctance, Curtis patted her head. Although he was reluctant too, he still left.As he went, he told Gabriel, "Gabriel, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first. Please watch over them."Gabriel replied by the stream, "Go ahead, I'll take care of things here."Watching Curtis leave, Gabriel asked Natalie, who was rinsing her mouth, "You didn't bring Curtis when you came. When did he join you?"Natalie ignored him. She finished rinsing and got up to leave.Gabriel followed. "Nat, can you not be like this?"Natalie got on the RV, forcing Gabriel to stop i
He was eager to return, fearing Natalie would be snatched away by Gabriel.…On the mountain, Lena got up and put on one of the new dresses, joyfully heading out of her room to show Calvin.However, she couldn't find him after searching around and could only see Tommy in the kitchen preparing food.She walked over and asked, "Um, why are you the one preparing breakfast? Where's Calvin?""Oh, he had some things to do at the foot of the mountain. Don't worry, the food I make won't be any worse than his."Noticing Lena was in her new dress, Tommy stopped what he was doing and smiled as he looked her over.The white dress looked much better on her than the one she wore before. She would probably look even better if she had long hair and light makeup. In any case, Tommy was quite satisfied.With a smile, he complimented, "You look especially beautiful today."Hearing this, Lena felt embarrassed and turned in a circle for him to see. "Really?""Yes. I'll do your makeup later. That
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
