Calvin glanced at the time on his wristwatch. It was 7:00 am. He felt a bit puzzled. "Why hasn't Lena gotten up at this hour today?" Previously, she knew she had to go to the hospital to treat Anthony, and she would wake up very early every day. It was strange for her to be late today.Margot guessed, "Could it be that she had too much fun yesterday and wants to sleep in?""Then let her sleep a little longer."Calvin thought that he had prepared too much breakfast, so he packed some and prepared to send it to Natalie and the others next door."You eat first, I'll take some to Benjamin.""Okay."When Calvin brought breakfast to Natalie's side, Natalie had just come downstairs to prepare some food in the kitchen.When she heard the doorbell ring, she went to open the door.When she opened the door and saw Calvin, her face darkened, and she asked rudely, "What are you doing here?"Calvin avoided her and walked into the house."Benjamin just got out of the hospital and needs to
No matter how much Margot and Calvin tried to persuade her, Lena refused to go to the hospital.They didn't force her and thought that since Lena had been busy for so long since she arrived, she hadn't had a chance to enjoy herself properly in the city. Margot took the children out to play while bringing Lena along. They planned to let her have fun first, and then try to persuade her to change her mind.So for the next two days, Lena didn't show up in Anthony's hospital room at all. At first, Anthony thought it didn't matter whether she came or not.But when she really didn't show up, he suddenly felt empty inside while lying on the bed. He felt very uncomfortable. When he saw his big brother bringing food for him, he asked in a deep voice, "Did that witch go back to the countryside or somewhere else?"Calvin glanced at his younger brother and snorted. "Now you care about her? Besides, she has a name. Why are you calling her a witch?" Anthony's expression became awkward, hi
If that witch really comes over, she'll definitely use her long silver needle to stab him hard. Just the thought about that pain made Anthony shiver uncontrollably all over."I think I should avoid her for now. You go have a good talk with her. I know you admire her medical skills. If you two can really get together, you're a perfect match."Yes, a perfect match. Both of them have similar temperaments, but deep down they're both soft-hearted. If they calm down and talk to each other sincerely, they can resolve their conflicts."You better leave."Anthony was very impatient.Calvin shook his head helplessly and sighed before leaving.As soon as Margot sent Lena to the hospital, she went straight to Anthony's hospital room in a rage. She kicked the door open and went straight to strangle him."I'm going to kill you today."Anthony didn't expect her to come so quickly. He lay there indifferently, his ink-black eyes fixed deeply on her without saying a word.When Lena was angry, s
When Anthony saw Lena earnestly helping him again, he couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.Even when Lena was helping him with the needle, she would occasionally look up at him.Sometimes their eyes would meet by chance, and they would feel uncomfortable and quickly look away.In addition, they both found that they were becoming increasingly uncomfortable in each other's presence.Nevertheless, they longed to stay in each other's line of sight, to be noticed by each other at all times.For example, in the afternoon, Margot brought food over and took Lena back with him.Lena took the food and said, "There's a family room nearby, so why don't I stay at the hospital tonight?"Margot frowned. "Would that be convenient?""It's convenient. I just want to keep an eye on him all the time, so that he can recover quickly. Then, I won't have to stay in the hospital every day."As she spoke, She dared not meet Margot's gaze directly. Her gaze became extremely evasive.Margot loo
"I can't compare to my eldest brother.""Who says that?" Lena immediately retorted, "You two brothers are equally outstanding. You both are very good."She spoke sincerely.Anthony's expression changed, and he really wanted to say, "If we're both good, then why do you like him?"But he didn't say it out loud. He just pursed his lips and looked somewhat unhappy.Lena continued to feed him, and when she saw him suddenly unhappy, she asked, "What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?""No.""Then why does your complexion look worse?""Is it because of my brother that you've changed your attitude towards me?"Lena blurted out, "No."Anthony felt a lot more comfortable in his chest. Seizing the opportunity, he continued to ask, "Then when are you marrying him?""Huh?"Lena was a bit bewildered.Anthony stared at her, his voice becoming more intense as he said, "Since you like my eldest brother so much, and my eldest brother wants to marry you, when are you two getting marrie
The next day, Calvin arrived early to bring breakfast to Lena.When he entered the ward, he saw Lena personally helping his brother wash up.He stood quietly on the side without disturbing them.After a while, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.Lena hurriedly moved away from the man on the bed and hastily cleaned up the toiletries.Calvin then appeared, gesturing towards the breakfast in his hand. "I brought you some food.""Oh, thank you, Calvin."Without looking directly at him, Lena picked up the bowl and hurried to the bathroom.Seeing that she was still feeling a bit guilty, Calvin approached his brother and asked, "Have you made up?"Anthony smiled lightly, but suddenly said coldly, "Put the food down and leave."The implication was not to stay here and cause trouble. How could Calvin not understand?He put down the food and turned to look at Lena, who had just come out of the bathroom."I have something else to do and need to go out. Can you take care of him
"Really?""Mm.""Then I'll still call you Calvin.""Sure.""Hehe, Calvin, you go about your business. I'll... take care of Anthony's meal."Calvin was truly grateful to her and sincerely said, "The one who should say thank you is me, Lena. Thank you for taking such good care of my brother.""And thank you for giving up on me and breaking off our engagement," he thought.But there were some things he couldn't say.There will be plenty of time in the future; he'll slowly thank her.Lena felt elated.She waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. You let me stay in the big house, cook delicious meals for me every day, and gave me lots of beautiful clothes. Taking care of him is the least I can do.""Then I won't disturb your meal. You go ahead.""Okay, Calvin, goodbye."After waving goodbye to Calvin, Lena returned to the ward with a smile lingering on her face.Anthony asked, "Did you talk to him?""Yes."She sat by the man's bed and ate breakfast while feeding him."Now
When Natalie heard Calvin's words, she fell silent.She didn't deny that she had feelings for him before, but her heart had cooled down because of him. She no longer wanted, nor dared to fall in love again.Now, she had her son by her side, she had Margot accompanying her with every step, and she had a stable job and generous income.Men in her world had no use except to ease her loneliness.She didn't want to be foolish anymore, to blindly believe in love and to plunge into the whirlpool of emotions without hesitation.She felt that her current life was pretty good."Calvin, I don't want to date right now. I don't know if I'll date in the future, but as of now, I just want to work, just want to be with my little Benjamin."Love had always been a luxury for her.She didn't want it, so she probably wouldn't suffer for love either."Natalie..."Her words pierced like sharp needles, mercilessly stabbing at his heart.Calvin felt a painful ache in his chest, his voice hoarse as
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
