"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,
Curtis pulled his hand away from Calvin."Do you think it's a good idea for me to go see Margot right now?"Calvin paused. "What's wrong?""She doesn't remember me," Curtis said.He didn't want Margot to remember him and his daughter. If she remembered everything, she would be overwhelmed by grief. He wouldn't be able to bear seeing Margot sad.Calvin sat back down. "So what do you plan to do?""I can start over and get to know her again," Curtis proposed."Start over as a new person with a new identity and get to know her again?" Calvin asked.Curtis explained, "Losing Lilac is a pain that will stay with me forever, but I can bear it alone.She can just stay as she is, carefree and worry-free. That's good enough for me."Calvin thought that this was not a bad idea. He remembered how Margot was when she lost her daughter, and if they hadn't hypnotized her, she might have gone crazy. Even now, Curtis had returned, but Lilac was still missing.She loved Lilac so much. How could
Calvin returned to the company and went straight to Margot's office. He saw her busy reviewing files and walked over to ask, "What do you want to have for lunch?"Margot looked up and replied casually, "Whatever the secretary brings is fine."Calvin pulled a chair across from Margot and smiled. He suggested, "How about we go out instead? I have a friend who's back from abroad, and he's quite capable. I plan to let him take over my position and assist you in managing the company. I hope to introduce you two."Margot stopped writing and looked up at Calvin again as she narrowed her eyes."Why haven't you mentioned this person before?""I thought he was gone for good, but he's back. You two are acquaintances, but you might not remember him," Calvin replied.Margot was curious. "Who is it?""You'll find out soon enough," Calvin said with a sly grin. Then, he stood up and went back to his own office, leaving Margot sitting there in confusion.What kind of person could take over Calv
