"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
For example, cooking, painting, as well as playing with building blocks.But Margot truly had no idea that her daughter had memorized the multiplication tables at the age of three.Just as the little one finished reciting, Benjamin chimed in again, "Lilac, recite The Greatest Poems for them."Lilac didn't hesitate and began reciting right away. Moreover, her pronunciation was clear, without any stuttering along the way.There were even poems that Margot had never heard of. She watched in amazement as her daughter recited them fluently.Calvin couldn't help but praise her, "No wonder that miracle doctor wanted this child as his disciple, she indeed has some talent."She was just a three-year-old child, how could she recite so many collections of poems?Margot looked at Benjamin and asked, "Did you teach her all this?"Usually, she only taught her daughter the simplest things. She hadn't taught her any poetry collections.Benjamin shook his head, "No, there are some poems I have
Curtis sat Margot on his lap and said patiently, "Lucas' crimes are unforgivable, and he's not worth lamenting over. Once he goes in, there's no chance of him coming out alive."After all, he had harmed so many children and caused such huge losses to the company.Even if they forgave him, the law wouldn't.As for his wife and children…Curtis sighed with a heavy expression. "I can only advise Anya to divorce him. If she doesn't listen, then it's up to her."He didn't know what Lucas had done to Anya. Even though she knew the man was having an affair and had a child with someone else, she still wanted to bring their two children to plead for him.How could he possibly let Lucas off the hook?Not torturing him to death was already Curtis' greatest mercy.Margot got up from the man's lap and went to the nearby coffee table with a bag.As she took out the utensils from the bag, she said, "I always feel like Anya won't give up easily. She'll definitely come to find you again.""I'
"Then you're not allowed to touch me anymore.""Okay, no more touching. Can I pinch your cheeks instead?"He couldn't resist and reached for her face, pinching her round cheeks.Margot rolled her eyes speechlessly, glaring at him and gritting her teeth as she called out each word, "Curtis."He chuckled. "Alright, I won't do it next time."But Margot was so cute, he couldn't help but want to touch or pinch her from time to time. Some habits were hard to change."If you keep doing this, I'll bite you."She pretended to be fierce, widening her eyes.Although she was a 25-year-old woman, perhaps because of her youthful face, she looked quite fierce and adorable at the moment.Curtis looked at her and couldn't help but feel amused.He lazily crossed his long legs, leaning against the couch as he looked at her with a faint smile, "Margot, we've been together for so long, but you've never properly called me 'hubby'. How about... we change that?"It seemed that since they had been t
The old man couldn't resist the charming antics of this little woman clinging to him. During lunch break, he lifted her onto his waist and carried her directly to the nearby rest area. Only when Margot was gently placed on the bed did she realize she had gone too far.Looking at the man leaning over, she quickly raised her hand to refuse. "No."The man took off his suit jacket and loosened his tie, his eyes filled with mischief."Whether it's okay or not, it's not up to you."He took off his shoes and knelt on the bed.Margot hurriedly retreated to the head of the bed. Who knew the man would grab her feet and pull her back, restraining her from moving.Margot didn't struggle. She lay there obediently and looked at him. She advised gently, "Curtis, your illness hasn't been cured yet.""It doesn't stop me from doing things."He started to unbuckle his belt.Margot calmly watched his movements."How about this, you go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. If the doctor says i
