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
Even though she had forgotten everything, he had stayed by her side and cared for her meticulously. He never left her. Yet, she never liked him even a little bit. Royce felt completely worthless and like a failure in front of Margot. Margot was astonished. "You know about Curtis?"Royce's expression changed slightly because he realized he had said something he shouldn't have. He quickly shifted the topic. "Since you know the child isn't mine and don't want to see me, let's leave it at that."He hung up, afraid he might slip up and Anthony would come looking for trouble.Margot stared at the call log and felt bewildered. Royce knew the child wasn't his and also knew about Curtis. So, he must also know the child was Curtis', right? If everyone knew about Curtis and her past with him, why hadn't anyone mentioned Curtis to her in the past year?At that moment, the door opened, and Curtis walked in. Margot put away her phone and looked at him.Seeing she wasn't asleep, Curtis
Margot was still angry, which made Curtis feel helpless. He leaned down to carry the sleeping child.Margot looked at him. "What are you doing?""You should get some rest. He will sleep with me.""Don't bother. I can take care of him myself."Curtis spoke gently, "He may be sleeping soundly now, but he wakes up crying at night. You won't be able to rest properly. You have work tomorrow. Just sleep, I'll take care of him."Since Margot wouldn't let Curtis sleep with her, he might as well sleep with the baby for the night. Margot didn't stop him.After Curtis left with the child, she lay in bed and was unable to fall to sleep. After tossing and turning, she went to see Calvin.Standing at her brother's door, she knocked lightly and said, "Calvin, are you asleep? Can I come in and ask you something?"Calvin had just changed into his pajamas and came out of the bathroom when he heard Margot's voice. He opened the door and motioned for her to come in."What's the matter? Can'
Curtis was willing to compromise and continue being a stay-at-home dad while Margot took over the company. This should prevent her from getting angry, right?Margot looked at Curtis, who was driving. Remembering Calvin's words about the company originally belonging to Curtis, she found it funny that she had thrown a tantrum at Curtis the previous night. Moreover, she wondered why no one around her had mentioned Curtis throughout the past year. Yet, as soon as he returned, everyone welcomed him back.Since the company rightfully belonged to him, it was only fair to return everything to him, and she no longer wanted the position of vice president either.Looking down at her son, who was staring back at her with wide eyes, Margot endured her discomfort and said, "I was being naive. You should take over your company, and I'll take care of our son."Curtis glanced at her through the rearview mirror. His heart ached slightly when he saw her unhappy expression."Are you angry, Marg
Watching Margot disappear with their child, Curtis felt a little upset. Everything he did seemed to upset her. Now, she wouldn't even let him into the house. On second thought, it was probably best for now. He decided to focus on his work first and then come back with a gift to propose formally. He got into the car and drove straight to the company.When Margot returned home with the baby, she saw Zyla and Royce sitting in the living room. When they saw her, they both seemed distant and didn't greet her.Margot didn't care about them. She handed the bag to the approaching nanny and walked upstairs with her son in her arms. Royce stood up to call out to her but was stopped by Zyla."What, can't wait to run over to her?" Zyla asked, eyes full of suspicion.Royce looked at the woman beside him unhappily. "Don't talk nonsense.""Nonsense? Your actions are obvious enough. Royce, don't treat me like a fool. I'm not blind."This man was already hers. She wouldn't allow him t
When Margot saw her mother's reaction, it was clear Regina knew about her relationship with Curtis. Without saying anything more, Margot closed the door and took a shower.Everyone knew about this but her. They kept it from her, which surely meant there was something fishy. Perhaps everyone was hiding something from her. However, if they didn't want to tell her, she didn't care to ask. She'd just let things unfold naturally.At the door, a servant's voice called out. "Madam, Ms. Zyla is waiting downstairs."Regina simply replied, "Got it."Then, she called out nicely to Margot in the bathroom. "Margot, come down for breakfast after your shower. I'll have the kitchen prepare your favorites."Although she didn't hear a response from Margot, Regina wasn't concerned and followed the servant downstairs.Zyla quickly stood up and greeted Regina fawningly, "Mom..."Regina looked impatient. "Didn't I tell you not to address me that way in front of Margot? What do you need?"Regin
Margot once again boldly entered someone else's home under Sabrina's lead. There were no adults present. On the table were three dishes and a soup. Although they were all home-cooked dishes, they looked and smelled delicious. It was very appetizing indeed.Margot was amazed and looked at the child, who was pulling out a chair for her. "Did you cook all of these?"Sabrina nodded with a smile. "Yes, Daddy says my cooking is very delicious. Miss, please have a seat and try."Margot sat down and took a bite of the grilled broccoli. The taste was much better than what she could make!Margot was truly impressed by the child sitting beside her. "How are you so good at this? You're so young and yet you can cook so well. Did your father teach you?"Sabrina shook her head. "His cooking isn't always good either. I learned from watching online videos."She stood on her chair to pick up a piece of grilled steak. "Miss, try this.""Okay, you have some too."Margot tasted the meat, which
"Mister, I believe as a father, you should take responsibility for your child instead of handing her over to a stranger," Margot retorted.The man chuckled. "If you were a bad person, I wouldn't let you near her. Since you've trespassed into my home twice while I wasn't there, why not just go all the way and help me out a bit while you're at it?"Margot was furious. "This is your child, I..."Why should Margot help you look after her? But she didn't say the rest of her thoughts because Sabrina was blinking her innocent eyes at her. That innocence made it hard for her to refuse."Miss, may I ask for your name, since you're helping me look after my child," the man said as he knew she wouldn't refuse. He then decided to make friends with her.Reluctantly, Margot replied, "Margot Stone.""Ah? Oh, Ms. Stone, thank you for looking after my child. I'm busy with work now, I'll treat you to a meal another day." After he finished speaking, the call ended.Margot was very unhappy, but lo
