Because she was really afraid, Natalie completely lost control at this moment, hanging onto the man's neck and nestling closely in his arms.Calvin rarely had the chance to hold her like this. The last time they had such intimate contact was a long time ago at the hotel.Now, holding her like this, he felt that the sourness in his chest had long disappeared, replaced by sweetness, warmth, and satisfaction. How he wished he could just keep holding her like this. He felt that it would be so wonderful if time could stop now. But the reality was always disappointing.Natalie gradually calmed down and slowly raised her eyes. Seeing Calvin holding her, her gaze flickered, and she quickly got down from him in embarrassment.Calvin didn't let go of her. Natalie reminded, "Let go of me."Only then did Calvin release her. Standing on the ground, Natalie was still very scared, looking around for the snake. After finally not seeing it, she straightened her clothes.She turned around to look
Listening to Lena's words, Calvin could not hesitate. "I can go see your master anytime," he replied. Upon hearing this, Lena smiled happily, "Really? How about tonight?""Okay.""I knew it, Calvin, you wouldn't refuse."She reached out to hold his hand.Calvin didn't avoid her touch but feared Natalie's discomfort if she saw. He looked at Lena and suggested, "Let's go up the mountain.""Huh? Now? Don't you want to spend more time with your sister?" Lena pointed to Margot beside him.Calvin glanced at Margot and then looked away, retracting his gaze. "They don't need me to accompany them. Let's go."Not wanting to cause trouble for Natalie, he hurriedly left with Lena.Lena chattered beside Calvin and smiled happily like an ignorant child.Tommy didn't follow them. His eyes were full of sorrow.Margot asked him, "Is there no chance?""It's not that. It's just that time is too short." Looking at Margot, Tommy said, "I hope Calvin can temporarily engage with her and take her
Listening to Curtis's shout, Margot took the camera and called Natalie to follow.Watching Curtis lead the old yellow cow for the children to ride, she couldn't help but think of how he looked when she saw him yesterday.How ridiculous. He really didn't differ much from a mountain man.Approaching the three of them, Margot couldn't help but laugh while taking pictures.Natalie joked, "Curtis, is your task here to raise this cow?"Curtis glanced at her and handed her the cow rope. "Do you want to hold it?"Natalie was afraid the cow would bump into her, so she quickly avoided it. "Forget it. It's yours to raise. You can hold it yourself.""Pfft!" Margot couldn't help but laugh again."Curtis, why don't you just stay here? You could start a cattle farm. It's quite profitable after all, especially since you have experience."Knowing this was teasing, Curtis looked helpless. "Do you think I want to?"He would not have endured this hardship if he hadn't asked for help. Even herdin
"Hmph!" The man raised his hand and pinched her nose, threatening, "If you mock me again, I'll carry you to ride a pig directly.""Yes, yes, yes, I won't mock you anymore. Can't I admit my mistake?" Margot was really scared and hurriedly apologized.Only then did Curtis put her down.Little Lianlian still wanted to ride and immediately ran up to ask for a hug, "Daddy, daddy, hug me up. I still want to ride.""Okay." Curtis hugged his daughter up and couldn't help but tease Margot, "Some people have less courage than a three-year-old child. How embarrassing."Margot stood on the side, bending over with both hands holding her trembling legs, glaring at Curtis angrily.Curtis pretended not to see and took his daughter to play by himself.Benjamin followed them, guarding his sister, afraid she might fall.Natalie approached Margot and teased her, "Your legs are still weak?""Exactly, Curtis is really annoying."Straightening up, Margot took the camera from Yinong's hand and looke
Upon hearing this, Lilac hurriedly refused, "Master, this is too cruel.""Hmm?" Bronson looked displeased.Lilac instantly fell silent and cast a helpless gaze at Calvin.Calvin also looked at the pill. He didn't believe there was any loyalty pill in the world that could know what he was thinking.Without much hesitation, he took the pill directly."Calvin..."Lilac didn't even have time to refuse. Seeing his actions, the Bronson smiled."It seems that you are sincerely treating my foolish disciple. Kneel and thank me, then take her and be a hero."He knew there was someone else in this man's heart. But his disciple liked him, so he allowed it.Calvin thought the person before him was old, so he respectfully knelt to kowtow to him.Lilac also knelt, thanking her master for raising and teaching her.As they left, Lilac's eyes turned red, feeling reluctant."Master, I'm leaving. What will you do in the future?""I won't die, go."Calvin stopped and looked at Lilac, indicati
Lena nodded hesitantly as she stared at the cave entrance."So, your master never brought up the matter of Lilac becoming his student again. Does that mean he doesn't need her to worship him anymore?" Calvin asked.Lena kept her face collected as she presumed, "I don't know why Master didn't mention it. He probably doesn't need her anymore.""Alright, let's go. See what else you need to take with you," Calvin said.Lena went to her room to pack her things.Meanwhile, Tommy approached and asked Calvin, "What's going on? Are we going back?""Yeah.""Is everything settled?""More or less."So, the old man didn't officially allow him to marry Lena. He simply nodded in front of him as a form of acceptance. Could a loyalty pill really control Calvin's heart? Or was the old man testing his character? In Calvin's opinion, if they helped them, he really shouldn't abandon Lena. Everything needed further consideration.Tommy knew they were going back, so he hurried over to help
After everyone had finished dinner, Lena followed Bronson's instructions and went to find Jack. He lived at the foothill, and Bronson wanted him to manage the livestock and crops on the mountain.At 8:00pm, they returned to the city by RV.The journey was quite far and they took turns driving. By the time they arrived at Margot and Natalie's home, it was already dawn.The children and Lena were still asleep in the RV.Curtis carried his daughter to the house without paying attention to the others. Tommy also carried Benjamin into the house.In the end, only Natalie, Margot, and Calvin were left in front of the RV, discussing where to accommodate Lena."Let her stay with me. I have plenty of rooms here. It's not right to arrange for her to stay in a hotel," said Margot.Lena had shown great kindness to her and Curtis. They had no way to repay this favor and could only do their best to take care of her.Calvin agreed. However, he couldn't help but to glance at Natalie. On the w
"Where's Calvin now?"She would feel a little disappointed every time she woke up and couldn't see Calvin. But still, the impressive scenery made her excited.Tommy gestured behind him. "This way. He might be preparing breakfast for everyone."Lena was really curious about what the magnificent house looked like inside, so she hurriedly followed Tommy and ran up the steps into the house.She was indeed a bumpkin who had never seen the outside world. As soon as she entered the house, she was stunned. She even seemed afraid of slipping on the expensive tiles underfoot.The further she went, the more excited she became, and the harder it was for her to express her love for this place.When she saw Calvin preparing breakfast in the open-plan kitchen, she waved excitedly at him. "Calvin!"Calvin looked at her and responded, "You're awake. If you don't want to go back to sleep, let Tommy take you to wash up and come down for breakfast later.""Okay," Tommy agreed and gestured for her
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
