Curtis suddenly stopped what he was doing.It did seem inappropriate.But the desire in his body needed to be released, and suppressing it was uncomfortable.Finally, with a sense of defeat, he had no choice but to lie down and say, "Let's sleep!"He was unhappy again.But this time, Margot didn't pay much attention to him. After changing into her pajamas in the dressing room, she really went to sleep.Curtis kept staring at her.When he saw her falling asleep so suddenly, even though she had just insisted she wasn't tired, he felt really annoyed.He even became a bit temperamental.As he sat on the headboard and looked at the petite woman who didn't even want to cuddle up to him, Curtis coldly asked, "Margot, do you really think I'm inadequate?"He didn't deny that on a previous occasion when he felt uncomfortable in his chest, he had indeed dampened her mood.After that, she hadn't let him touch her again.Even though he felt perfectly fine now, and should be perfectly ca
The next day, Margot didn't want to bother Tommy anymore, so she decided to personally take Lena to the hospital. Curtis took his daughter back to the Crosby residence. Calvin followed Margot and Lena.When the three of them arrived at the door of Anthony's ward, Calvin stopped Margot. "Margot, it's better if you don't go in."Margot was confused. "Why? I came all the way here just to take a look at him.""It's not very convenient."Margot still didn't understand.But Lena had already entered the ward and turned back to smile at Margot. "He's not wearing any clothes."Margot was speechless.Anthony was paralyzed in all his limbs except for his body. Of course, Lenahad to take off his clothes to treat him. As his sister, it seemed that Margot really couldn't go in to see him.Margot nodded. "Okay, I'll wait for you guys at the door."Calvin said "okay" and didn't close the door, following Lena into the ward.When Anthony saw the women from yesterday again, his handsome fac
They could only take it one step at a time."I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Knowing that Calvin was in a difficult situation, Margot suddenly felt guilty and lowered her head in remorse.Calvin looked at her and immediately comforted her, "Margot, don't say that. There are some things an older brother should do.""There's nothing you should do."Feeling discomfort in her heart, Margot took a deep breath and looked earnestly into Calvin's eyes. She told him sincerely, "Calvin, I forgive you. Thank you for saving Anthony, saving Curtis, and the sacrifices you made for me."Afraid that Lena might hear, she spoke quietly. At this moment, she truly appreciated Calvin. All the tragedies were caused by her, but it was Calvin who took care of things for her. It would be inhuman of her if she couldn't forgive him even at this point.However! Hearing the words "I forgive you" from his sister, Calvin felt an unprecedented surge of emotions, excitement and happiness.At that mome
Lena was busy for another two hours before she could catch her breath. Calvin was called away by her to process medicinal herbs.There was only her and Anthony left in the hospital room. Seeing that he seemed much calmer when his mouth wasn't stuffed anymore, Lena approached him with a friendlier attitude."You can feel pain now, right? Let me tell you, your condition isn't serious. It won't be long before your limbs can move again. If you continue exercising diligently for a few more months, you'll have no problem getting out of bed and walking."Anthony remained silent this time, probably because he felt that Lena was quite capable. He didn't say anything. Besides, he had been seen through and touched all over. It would be useless to resist any longer. Now he gave up struggling and let her do what she wanted."What's that expression on your face? Why do you look so aggrieved?" Lena asked with a smile. Anthony's handsome face stiffened, bearing the expression of someone deeply
Lena's attention shifted again. The next moment, her face instantly flushed, and her heart in her chest began to beat rapidly and irregularly for no apparent reason. She quickly pulled out the silver needle and averted her eyes, trying to control her breathing.Anthony was also embarrassed. His face was even redder than Lena's. While she was able to avoid the situation, he was lying on the bed, unable to escape his embarrassment."Why is it suddenly so hot?"Lena rushed over to open the window for ventilation.At that moment, Calvin returned with the medicine. Seeing Anthony looking very embarrassed and Lena standing by the window, he didn't know what had happened a moment ago, but it also made him, the older brother, feel quite awkward."I've brought back the medicine," Calvin said to Lena.Lena turned to look at Calvin. Although her face was flushed, she showed no signs of embarrassment."It's too hot in the hospital room. Can you do something about it?" she asked.Calv
Break up with Lena? They hadn't even held hands, so how could they break up? Seeing Anthony's strong reaction, Calvin said, "If I break up with her, will you be with her?"Anthony's face turned uncomfortable and embarrassed. "What nonsense are you talking about?""In that case, I can't break up with her.""Why?" Anthony asked.Calvin told the truth, "I promised her family that I would marry her if she saved you. If you can make her fall in love with you, then I won't have to marry her. You know, I find it hard to like anyone."Implicitly, he didn't like Lena at all.Anthony avoided looking at Calvin, his gaze flickering. "So, I should thank you."Calvin chuckled. "You're my younger brother. Sacrificing for you is what I should do.""I didn't ask you to do this.""I know. Anyway, I'm not going to meet someone who makes my heart flutter. Marrying anyone is the same, so I might as well marry her."He deliberately teased his younger brother.As Anthony lay there, his mind was
With mixed feelings, Margot said, "You're already so old, yet you're still throwing a tantrum at me.""Who's throwing a tantrum at you? Well, forget it. If you're not coming, I'll hang up. I'll just stay here with my daughter for a few days."Before Margot could say anything else, Curtis actually hung up the phone.Looking at the disconnected call log, Margot felt both amused and annoyed. Was this really Curtis? Was this the 35-year-old man she knew? Why did she feel that he was regressing more and more?Feeling helpless, Margot first went to buy a milkshake. After having lunch with Lena, she went shopping and bought many things. She also bought a mobile phone.Not long after they returned home, Benjamin ran over and shouted, "Aunt Margot, where's my little sister, Lilac?"Margot was sitting on the couch in the living room, teaching Lena how to use the phone. When she saw Benjamin, she smiled and replied, "Lilac went home with her dad to visit her grandparents.""Oh, my mom as
Feeling uncomfortable being stared at by the man, Natalie didn't want to deal with him anymore and turned around to enter the house. Only then did Calvin follow her.Lena and Margot were already seated. Seeing Calvin approaching, Lena waved at him with a smile. "Calvin."Calvin responded with a grunt, but he didn't see Curtis around. He walked over to Margot and asked, "Where's Curtis?""He went back to the Crosby residence.""And Lilac?""She went with him."Calvin didn't say anything else. When he saw Natalie pouring drinks for everyone, he reached out to take one."I'll do it."Natalie skillfully avoided his touch and didn't even look at him. She sat down next to Margot after pouring the drinks.Calvin clearly felt her avoidance, but he couldn't say anything. He could only bear the bitterness in his heart and sat down in silence.Seeing that one person was still missing, Lena asked, "Natalie, where's Tommy? Why isn't he here?""He went out to take care of some things and
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
