"It's also good to have a son. He can be brothers with Benjamin.""Yeah, we'll have to ask Benjamin to take care of Louis in the future."Margot smiled too, looking at Natalie with joy in her eyes.Natalie's eyes were misty, and she quickly avoided eye contact.Realizing something, Margot also looked away and said, "Natalie, are you really not going to reconsider Calvin? He really likes you."Speaking of Calvin, Natalie felt a slight tug at her heart. She pursed her lips and admitted, "We're not suitable for each other.""How do you know it won't work out if you don't give him a chance?""Some things are irreversible and often end up hurting both parties. Why bother starting when we know there won't be a good outcome?""You're thinking too much. Love is supposed to make you fearless. If you like someone, pursue them bravely. Why care about the outcome?"Natalie looked at Margot. Seeing that she was still too naive in matters of love, Natalie smiled bitterly."Margot, one shou
He didn't even notice Margot following him. It wasn't until she caught him when he almost fell that he regained some consciousness and then turned around.When he saw Margot's face again, his reddened and moist eyes appeared even more desolate.Why was Margot here? Was she also here to visit their daughter?No, she seemed to be in good spirits, so she probably wasn't here to visit Lilac. Was she following him?Curtis swallowed uncomfortably. He opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Margot."Are you okay? You don't look so good. Do you want me to take you somewhere?"Curtis, who had almost lost control and wanted to hug Margot, was brought back to reality instantly by her words.Margot didn't remember him.He couldn't let Margot be as miserable as him by letting her remember him and Lilac. He shouldn't appear again and disturb Margot's new life.With this in mind, Curtis coldly pushed away Margot's hand and choked out, "I'm fine."He continued dragging his w
Margot didn't expect to be rejected again. Wasn't he misunderstanding something?Seeing Curtis walking away, she quickly got out of the car and stopped him, trying to explain, "I also have children. I'm a mother, too. I didn't approach you with other intentions in mind."I just feel like we have a connection. It's like I've seen you somewhere before. That's why I wanted to get to know you."Can you take a closer look at me? Do you really not recognize me?"She found Curtis familiar and felt like she should have known him from before.Why didn't he recognize her? Or was she imagining things?Curtis met Margot's gaze, looking at her hopeful eyes. His heart beat wildly, impulsively wanting to reach out and hug her.But he felt so guilty and self-condemning. He still couldn't accept the fact that Lilac was gone.He didn't want Margot to remember him and Lilac and suffer like him. So, he had to reluctantly say, "I'm sorry, but I really don't recognize you.""But I feel like I know
Knowing that Ashley couldn't bear to part with Louis, he hurriedly put an arm around Ashley's shoulders and whispered comfortingly in her ear."It's okay. Margot will take Louis back here in a few days."Ashley thought about the agreement with the Morris family. She had no choice but to compromise and let Margot take Louis away.In fact, she didn't have the right to forcibly keep the child.If she hadn't brought Lilac to the Crosby residence before and had taken good care of her, the Crosby family wouldn't have encountered such a big problem.Martin's, Curtis', and Lilac's deaths were all because of her.Now, Margot had given the Crosby family another descendant after much difficulty. This time, Ashley swore she would never again unilaterally decide to keep Louis by her side.As long as her only grandchild could grow up healthy, even if he didn't return to the Crosby family and stayed by Margot's side forever, they would have no complaints.…Meanwhile, Royce hurried to catch
As long as he could peacefully break up with her, she would pretend she hadn't seen anything.Royce felt like a sharp knife had cut through his heart. The pain was so intense that he might suffocate.He tried to control his emotions and nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay. I'll annul our engagement, and Louis will be yours."He had slept with Zyla, defying Margot's wishes. She would inevitably reveal their affair. By then, there was no way Margot's brothers would let him off the hook.Instead of being despised by Margot and driven away by the Morris family, he might as well leave with a little dignity and respect for himself.But after so many years of his dedication and affection, he couldn't accept such a result."Thank you," Margot sincerely said. Not wanting to owe Royce, she added, "I will give you some financial compensation.""There's no need." Royce refused her kindness and then looked at the driver. "Pull over."When the car stopped, he looked at Margot."Margot, I hop
"What?" Gabriel was dumbfounded, his voice still trembling as he stared at the vivid ghost in front of him."You… Do ghosts still order takeout from the mortal world? Or should I put some food in front of your grave?"Curtis was once again speechless.He bypassed Gabriel and sat on the couch. "Hurry up. Just order anything for me."Gabriel could only follow Curtis' order. As he did, he looked over and saw him sitting on the couch, causing it to sink slightly. He found it even more unbelievable.According to reason, ghosts leave no trace of their actions. So, why did Curtis have weight?Feeling incredulous, Gabriel approached the ghost step by step. Standing in front of the ghost, he raised his hand to try to touch him.Curtis slapped his hand away, looking helpless."Would a man of high education still believe there are ghosts in this world?"Gabriel felt pain in his hand that was slapped. Looking at Curtis again, his eyes widened. His mouth was open so wide that an egg could
"Why would they blame you?"Curtis fell silent.Even if no one blamed him, he couldn't get over the fact that Lilac had died. As long as he remembered, he would always feel guilty.He continued choking back sobs into his hands.The takeout arrived at this moment. Gabriel got up to get it.At the door, he pulled out his phone and sent Natalie a location along with a message."Come over. I have a surprise for you."He didn't specify the surprise, pocketed his phone, and entered the house with the takeout.He didn't message Margot because she didn't remember Curtis. But Natalie did. As long as she knew Curtis was still alive, she would try to get Curtis back to Margot's side.Natalie felt puzzled when she received Gabriel's message.She put away her phone, not wanting to bother with him, and took a shower to prepare to review Benjamin's homework with him.During this time, Benjamin had been busy filming and hadn't had time to study. But while supervising him doing his homework,
Ashley and Elias could hardly believe what they were seeing. Stumbling forward, they reached out to touch Curtis, at a loss for words.Confirming that the person in front of them was indeed their son, who had jumped into the sea a year ago to save Lilac, the elderly couple burst into tears.They embraced him tightly and cried out in anguish as the three collapsed to the floor."Is it really you, Curt? Have you come back? I'm not dreaming, am I?""Curt, is it really you? Am I not seeing things?"Curtis stood up straight, also reaching out to embrace his parents. His voice was hoarse as he responded, "It's me, Mom, Dad. I'm back. I'm sorry for making you worry!""Curt, you're not dead. You're actually back. Oh, my son has returned."The feeling of regaining what was lost was indescribable. Ashley hugged Curtis, crying uncontrollably."My child, do you know what happened while you were gone this past year? Do you know how painful it was for us? Even our hair has turned white."Bu
