Curtis looked at Margot's current state and felt that hiding the truth from her was the right thing to do. As long as she didn't suffer because of her daughter, he didn't mind putting on an act."I didn't hate you, I just didn't dare to reveal myself to you when we saw each other again," he said seriously, looking into her eyes with deep emotion and melancholy.Margot frowned and sneered. "Don't you think your words are contradictory?" He had previously said he didn't recognize her, then changed to saying he didn't recognize her at first, and now he was saying he didn't dare reveal himself to her.Was this person crazy?Curtis didn't explain further. Instead, he continued along with the narrative he had painted. "Everything before was a lie. I've always liked you, but because you are my parents' adopted daughter, we can't be together since we were 'siblings.' Later, when you were with someone else, I deliberately said I didn't know you when I saw you again."He spoke without a
Curtis didn't urge her, but instead sat down and asked, "I heard you broke off your engagement with Royce. Did you leave him because you're still in love with me?"He continued, "If that's the case, then bring the child back to me. This time, I won't leave you again, and I won't leave you with them anymore."He tried to reach out and hold her hand, but Margot instinctively avoided him.She looked up at him, her face filled with disbelief. Then, she shook her head as she said, "Let me calm down first and think about it. You're saying we were together before, but no one around us knew, right?"Curtis nodded.Margot continued, "So, you're saying I got pregnant with your child while I was engaged to Royce?"Curtis neither confirmed nor denied it.Margot knew it was probably true.She felt a bit regretful and couldn't help but slap her forehead."What have I done? I've made such a mess and forgotten everything."She looked at Curtis again, her expression suddenly becoming more c
Margot felt a bit helpless. "If you plan to date Anthony long-term, sooner or later, you'll marry into my family. If you're free, just come over. I'll be waiting for you at home."Lena reluctantly compromised and said, "Okay, but you have to wait for me. I don't want to be alone with your Mom.""Alright."After hanging up the phone, Margot got into her car and drove home. Her mind involuntarily drifted back to Curtis. What if the child really was his? Would she have to be with him for the sake of the child? Would that make her too casual and easy? No, she needed to play a little hard to get. She was the Vice President of Regal Enterprises, so she couldn't just agree to be with him as soon as he came back. He even claimed not to know her when she approached him last time. At the very least, she had to teach him a lesson.Just as Margot arrived home, her phone rang again; it was an unknown number. She answered, and a man's warm and pleasant voice came through. "Where are
"What are you thinking?" Margot saw Anthony following behind, and led Lena into the house."Although my mom can be strict, she won't make things difficult for you," Margot said.Once she finished speaking, the butler approached respectfully. "Ms. Stone, this must be Ms. Lemia. Madam would like to see you. Please come with me."Lena sobbed and clung to Margot because she wanted Margot to go with her. But before Margot could say anything, the butler continued, "Madam said you can meet her alone. Ms. Stone, Louis probably misses you, so you should go see him."This was a deliberate attempt to separate Margot from Lena.Margot stopped in her tracks and signaled for Lena to go ahead. Reluctantly, Lena had no choice but to follow the butler's lead.Anthony came up from behind, and Margot reminded him by saying, "You should go too. With Mom's temper, she might say something hurtful to Lena."Anthony grunted in acknowledgment. He was afraid that his woman might suffer even the sligh
With Lena's previous temper, she really would have left without hesitation. However, over this past year, Anthony had given her so many wonderful moments. Hence, she couldn't bear to let go. If it was just learning etiquette, becoming gentle and poised like Margot and Natalie, she could do it. She took the pen from the servant's hand and signed her name on the agreement.At that moment, there was a knock at the door."Mom, open the door. Why can't you talk to Lena in front of me? Let her out." Anthony's voice came from outside, which further irritated Regina.Ignoring him, she looked at Lena and said, "Remember our agreement. If you can't fulfill it, don't blame me for objecting to your relationship with my son."Then, she instructed a servant to call the butler to open the door. When the door opened, Anthony rushed in and pulled Lena into his arms. He asked in concern, "Are you okay? Did anyone hurt you?"Lena shook her head. When she thought about having to attend etiq
"If you don't like my Mom, we won't come back in the future. If you miss your Master, I can live in the countryside with you."Lena shook her head hastily. "No, since I've signed the agreement with your Mom, I must do my best. I believe in myself."Margot also agreed. "Let her learn. She has never experienced campus life before, right? Now she can experience that with classmates in etiquette school. If she really can't handle it, she can drop out later."Anthony compromised. Not far away, the butler approached with Lena's school uniform and enrollment notice, and he bowed respectfully. "Ms. Lemia, these are your belongings. Please report to the school early tomorrow morning."Anthony picked up the enrollment notice and glanced at it. The school hours were the same as those for regular university students, with classes from Monday to Friday and weekends off. He looked at Lena. "It's a boarding school. Can you get used to it?"Lena had never been to school and didn't know the
Taking her son from the nanny's arms, Margot comforted him while instructing, "Go and pack some milk powder, a pack of diapers, and a few sets of clothes for Louis."The nanny asked, "Ms. Stone, are you going out again?""Yes, I'm going to Asheley's. You don't need to come with me.""Alright."Just as the nanny went to pack, Regina came over."Margot, where's Anthony?"Margot looked at Regina and said, "He went out with Lena.""Again? Now that he has a girlfriend, he doesn't even want his family anymore."Regina was angry, but seeing her daughter present, she didn't want her temper to show. Instead, she walked over with a gentle expression.She reached out and pinched the child's cheek in Margot's arms. "Why is my dear grandson crying again? Did he just wake up?""Yes, he just woke up and is a bit grumpy."Remembering that someone would come to pick her up soon, Margot lied. "Mom, Ashley hasn't been feeling well lately. I'm going to take Louis to see her."Regina became a l
The decoration was modern and luxurious, which was very suitable for young people's aesthetics. Curtis carried his son in and glanced around, then looked at Margot."Is this your house?" Margot tossed the car keys onto the coffee table and walked to the bar to pour herself a glass of water, and drank it elegantly. Then she glanced at Curtis and replied, "Guess why I brought you here."Curtis looked at the bag he had brought over, which was filled with things for Louis. With the child in his arms again, he naturally understood Margot's intention.He said, "You want me to live here and take care of our son?"Margot didn't deny it."You suddenly appeared, claiming we had an affair, and that my son is yours. But just because you want me to bring our son back to you, does that mean I have to stupidly go back to you?"Curtis was speechless.Margot took off her coat. Underneath, she wore a silky black strappy dress. Her slightly curled black hair fell loosely around her shoul
