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
After she fell ill, she lay in bed for several days without regaining consciousness. The Morris family members were desperate to save her life, so they hypnotized her. She soon forgot everything.Ashley wiped away tears and continued, "Curt, I didn't know Margot had family until you got into trouble. The moment you did, our home became a mess. "It was Calvin, Margot's older brother, who helped us handle everything. He also helped you keep the company running. From now on, you should be grateful to him and Margot, even if she doesn't remember you. She still often comes to visit us with the children, and it's as if she's chosen the right path."Margot had always been kind to the Crosby family, and they all cherished her in their hearts. She even thought that if they didn't let their grandchild return to the Crosby family, it would be fine. As long as the grandchild was healthy and well-cared for, they would be content.Curtis nodded."I will," he said. He would be grateful to Calvin.
"Thank you, Mom."Margot buried her face in her food as Regina asked her, "Do you know about Zyla's move?"Margot looked up, nodded. Regina sighed and said, "You didn't sever ties with Royce, did you? Zyla said she was moving out with Royce. You wouldn't be too concerned about it, would you?"Margot laughed coldly. "Why should I be concerned?""You don't care about Royce at all? He's with Zyla now, and you're not bothered?" Regina asked.Margot continued eating her breakfast as she said, "I don't care, and I'm not bothered."She didn't feel anything for Royce, so his actions meant nothing to her.As for Zyla, Margot was even more indifferent to her than she was to Royce."It's good that you don't care," Regina said with a smile."Margot, take good care of Louis, and when you're ready to find someone to accompany you, I will introduce you to someone from my social circle, people of prominence and distinction, none of whom are inferior to Royce," Regina suggested.Margot had no
Margot turned to Curtis behind her. In the car behind him, she recognized the person sitting inside.She was taken aback.She opened the car door and got out, looked at the person in the car, and then back atCurtis who was standing in front of her."Are you friends with Mr. Sawyer?" she asked.Curtis was taken aback. He never expected to have such a connection with Margot.It seemed that no matter where they went, they always ran into each other.If fate was so kind to them, why should he avoid her? Moreover, he owed Margot a lot.Since his daughter was not around, he should be good to her and take care of her, shouldn't he?He couldn't understand what he had been thinking before. How could he have thought of leaving Margot?At that moment, he really wanted to hug her.But thinking she didn't remember him, he had to control his emotions. He removed his mask and said, "Yes, I'm friends with Mr. Sawyer."Margot was surprised as she glanced at Gabriel. She asked, "Mr. Sawyer, i
Gabriel saw a person approaching, and despite his annoyance, he still rolled down the car window. He looked at the man coming toward him with an unfriendly gaze.Calvin glanced at Gabriel in the car and asked, "What do you want?""Get in, and we'll talk slowly," Gabriel replied.Calvin didn't know what Gabriel was up to, but he didn't hesitate to get in the car.Gabriel didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "When are you going to marry Nat?"Calvin hesitated. Gabriel had come to ask about his and Natalie's affairs? Does he have nothing better to do?Nonetheless, they were rivals in love, after all.Calvin didn't know what Gabriel had in mind, but he still answered. "Soon.""Soon?" Gabriel's heart skipped a beat. "Are you moving the relationship that fast? So when are you both getting married?""Why are you so concerned about this?" Calvin asked.Calvin dodged Gabriel's question.Gabriel's expression changed, and he nervously avoided eye contact with Calvin.Then,
