Margot couldn't imagine how a four-year-old child could cook by herself. She figured the child wouldn't even reach the kitchen counter.Feeling sorry for Sabrina, she helped her carry the groceries to her doorstep.After making sure there were really no adults inside, she was very worried and pulled Sabrina over, saying, "Kid, are you hungry? If you are, come to my house to eat. I've already cooked."Sabrina hurriedly shook her head and refused, "I won't go, miss. Thank you for helping me carry the groceries home."Taking the bag from Margot's hands, she struggled to carry it into the house.After that, she quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Margot with both hands. "Miss, please have some water. Thank you for your hard work."Margot took it and asked her, "Are you really going to cook by yourself?""Yeah." Sabrina nodded."Do you know how to cook? Can you use those appliances? It's very dangerous."Sabrina smiled. "I can. My daddy taught me."Margot looked at th
It didn't seem like he was treating her as an outsider.She thought about how the food she cooked was just average, and there were people waiting for her to come home for dinner.She felt embarrassed, saying, "I only made enough for your child. If you want to eat something, you can make it yourself."As the pasta was scooped into the bowl, Margot quickly added some seasoning and placed it on the table, gesturing to Sabrina."Sabrina, I've made it for you. Come and eat."She took off her apron and looked at the man in front of her. "As parents, I sincerely remind you that it's better not to leave such a young child alone at home. If anything happens to the child, I'm afraid you will regret it."Branden looked indifferent. "Should I bring her to work with me, then?""You can hire someone to look after her."Ignoring Margot, Branden went to cook by himself. His cold voice drifted over mockingly."Not everyone can afford a nanny. If you have nothing else to do, please leave. Don't
It seemed like his performance was still not up to par. He'd have to try harder.Just after finishing dinner, Curtis received a message from Natalie, asking him to meet up.He didn't hide anything and said to Margot while washing the dishes, "Can you go out with me later?"Margot, holding her sleeping son on the couch, looked up at him. "Where are we going so late?""I've made plans with a few friends, and these friends are all acquaintances of yours.""Who?"Curtis told her the truth, "The Nelson siblings and your two brothers."Perhaps they all knew that he was alive now and wanted to see him.He also wanted to express his gratitude to them in person and thank them for taking care of Margot and Louis, as well as his family, while he was away.Margot didn't understand. "What are you meeting them for? Are you close to Natalie and the others?""Yeah, we used to be on good terms. They know I'm back, so they probably want to welcome me back."Margot didn't understand why none o
Curtis didn't recognize Branden. He hadn't seen him before. Seeing Margot talking to him, he remained silent while holding Louis.Unexpectedly, Branden still glanced at him and deliberately said something that would make any man care.But Curtis still didn't speak, his handsome face already cold.Margot glanced at Curtis, noticing that he was somewhat concerned.She retorted to Branden with displeasure, "That's your child. I was just kindly reminding you. Since you don't care, why should I bother?"She angrily got into the car and didn't even look at Branden again before driving away.Branden sat in the car, not in a rush to leave. He just watched Margot's car drive off, a smile playing on his lips.Muttering to himself, "I tried to let you two interact, but you don't appreciate it."Since they didn't appreciate it, he might as well leave. He started the engine and drove away.In Margot's car, Curtis spoke unhappily, "Was that the father of the little girl you mentioned earlie
"Benjamin, your sister didn't come back."Benjamin, who had been holding back his emotions, couldn't help but well up with tears up. He stared at Curtis and asked again, "Why did you come back without bringing her?"Curtis suddenly didn't know how to respond when he saw that Benjamin was about to cry.Tommy hurried over and pulled his nephew aside. "Benjamin, what did I just tell you? If you don't want to eat, go upstairs and do your homework."Benjamin pushed his uncle's hand away angrily and ran upstairs, crying as he went.When the adults saw the child throw a tantrum because his sister hadn't returned, they felt quite uncomfortable.Only Margot had no idea why Benjamin was acting this way. She asked curiously, "What's wrong with him? Curtis, what did you say to Benjamin? Why is he crying?""Maybe he's upset because Uncle Curtis didn't bring him a gift." Tommy casually brushed it off."Alright, stop worrying about the child. Come and eat," Natalie reminded.Margot took
Branden didn't realize he needed to knock when visiting his disciple. Well, his bad. He retreated to the door, made a show of knocking, and asked, "Lena, may I come in?"Lena was speechless. She asked unhappily, "Why did you bring me food? Do instructors supervise students' meals daily?"She hadn't eaten since her argument with Anthony at noon and hadn't drunk any water either. Although she was hungry, she could endure it. She didn't expect her instructor to personally bring her food.Branden walked in and placed the food on the desk. Though his exceptionally handsome face showed no expression, his tone was full of concern. "Of course, as an instructor, I must always pay attention to my students. If you faint on the field tomorrow because you didn't eat, I won't be able to bear the responsibility."He prepared some food for her because he knew that she hadn't eaten anything that afternoon and was distracted during training. He wouldn't have gone to the trouble of lookin
Anthony looked at her.Her eyes reddened, and she looked so aggrieved as if she was about to cry. Anthony's heart hurt. He felt terrible, but he was unwilling to back down. "I clearly heard a man on the phone saying he was bringing you food," Anthony insisted.Lena didn't deny it. "Yes, he did bring me food. Because someone left me at noon, I felt so bad I couldn't even eat. I didn't eat anything after the noon training either. The instructor was just being responsible as he was afraid I'd faint from hunger on the field."She stared at him while her eyes grew wet. "And what about you? How did you treat me?"If he didn't trust her and thought poorly of her, he should have said so earlier. Then, she wouldn't need to stay here to complete her school's assessment in order to satisfy his mother.Seeing her pitiful look, all of Anthony's anger disappeared, and was replaced by heartache. He softened his tone and said, "I didn't mean to get mad at you. It's just that you always go
Anthony stood up and cupped her small face with both hands to kiss her. Lena was still upset so she turned her head away. "No kissing. I'm still hungry."Anthony didn't force it, and just took her hand. "Come on, I'll take you out to eat.""It's late. The school doesn't allow us to leave.""I own the school, so I make the rules."He insisted on dragging her out. Although she didn't want to go with him, her body betrayed her, and she hurriedly followed behind him."If I fail my assessment, it will be your fault."Anthony didn't care. "Even if you can't meet my Mom's requirements, I won't allow you to leave me. Remember, I'll never let you go."Although his words were domineering, it reassured her for some reason. Having been away from her master for so long, it was the first time she felt a sense of belonging.As she looked at the man leading her away, she silently vowed in her heart, "Anthony, as long as you don't dump me, I will never leave."……It was 11 PM.Because
