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
Margot took Sabrina to the Vaughn Mansion. Then, she called the nanny and asked her to bring her son to the Vaughn Mansion as well. She planned to stay there for a few days to accompany Natalie and Benjamin. Recently, she wasn't in a good mood so didn't want to stay at home in order to avoid Royce and Zyla. Because of her unclear relationship with Curtis, she didn't want to take her son to the Crosby Residence either. Hence, going to the Vaughn Mansion was the most suitable option.When they arrived, it was around noon. Margot led Sabrina into the house, but it was empty. She let Sabrina sit on the couch while she took out some fruits from the refrigerator for her to eat. Then, she called Natalie.Natalie was out filming with her son. When she received Margot's call, she asked softly, "Margot, is there anything wrong?""No, I just wanted to ask when you and Benjamin will be back.""Maybe tomorrow.""That long?""So you do have something going on, right?" Natalie a
At eight o'clock in the evening, Natalie rushed back with her son and went straight into Margot's house. However, in the living room, there was only Curtis, who was holding Louis with the nanny beside him. Natalie didn't see the little girl Margot had mentioned. Hence, she walked toward Curtis and asked, "Where's Margot?""She's upstairs changing clothes for the child."Margot had someone send over several sets of clothes for the child, and she was currently helping the child change in the room. Although Margot had explained to him who the little girl was, Curtis still felt that Margot was too meddlesome. Bringing someone else's child home just because she wasn't confident about leaving the child alone seemed extra to him. If something happened to the child from another family here, then Curtis and Margot would be responsible. After all these years, Margot still couldn't shake off her habit of meddling in other people's affairs.Natalie gestured to her son beside her.
Curtis didn't argue with her, and instead, he took her hand and led her inside.Margot noticed that despite Curtis' stern demeanor, he still showed care for her through his actions. She smiled knowingly and playfully asked while walking beside him, "What, can't find me at certain times and you're worried I ran off with someone else?"Curtis glanced at her and scoffed."Would you dare? If you dare run off with someone else, I'll break your legs."Despite speaking harsh words, the expression on the face and the gaze in the eyes directed at Margot were so gentle, it seemed as if they could bring forth tears.Margot listened to his violent words and stared at him, "Say it again, whose legs are you going to break?"Curtis was standing there. Although he still had a bit of presence, his facial expression already showed defeat.Before he could try to please his wife again, Margot had already brushed past him and slipped through the mansion's front doors.While running, he shouted, "An
So Gabriel had to personally drive her wherever she needed to go.Curtis listened to the two people and narrowed his eyes again."Who else?""Anthony."Anthony?Curtis was momentarily taken aback.Then, he saw Anthony coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a plate, and walking into the dining room.He set down his coat and told Luna, "You sit, I'll go help.""Go ahead."Curtis followed into the kitchen and saw that Anthony and Gabriel were acting as if they were in their own home, helping themselves to whatever they wanted to eat and making it themselves.He also felt a bit embarrassed and walked over, saying, "It's not right to have you cook since you're visiting, let me do it instead."Gabriel glanced at him and said, "We all treat you like one of us, so why are you being so formal with us?"Anthony responded, "I'm making it for my wife, after all, she only eats the food that I make."Curtis shook his head helplessly.They were showing off their relatio
Margot and Lena turned their heads at the same time.Jordan was dressed in a British-style uniform with a backpack. At eight years old, he stood around four feet tall. His smile was like a little ray of sunshine and could really brighten anyone's day.He shouted, "Mom, Aunt Lena, did you come specifically to pick me up?"Every time Margot heard Jordan call her "mom," it filled her heart with warmth.She raised her hand to give him a hug, gently ruffled his hair, and said, "Of course I'm here to pick you up, get in the car.""It's been a month since I last saw you, and you've grown taller."Lena pulled Jordan onto the vehicle and started driving.Sitting in the car, Jordan couldn't help but smile as he looked at his senior.Lena looked at him and smiled, "Living here, how does it compare to being up in the mountains?"Jordan's eyes landed on Margot, filled with warmth and joy."Wherever my mom and dad are, I feel is the best place. Of course, I'm not saying that being with Mas
Margot greeted them with a smile, saying, "I thought you two would be quietly enjoying your romantic time at the estate. I didn't expect you'd come over to see us!"Lena reached out and gently pinched Louis' round cheeks, then looked at Margot and said, "You keep saying that, but you're not working, so why don't you come visit us?""I'm at home taking care of the kids. You have no idea how challenging it is.""Heh, you're just unfairly blaming Louis. Our little Louis is clearly very well-behaved."Lena ignored Margot and couldn't help but give Louis a couple of kisses after picking him up.Anthony walked over and asked, "Where is everyone else?"Margot motioned for them to come over and sit down, then poured them some water."Natalie just had her baby not long ago, and my in-laws went with Natalie's parents and the others to visit the babies, and they're also going to visit Dad."Whenever Anthony talked about his oblivious elderly father, he got frustrated.He didn't ask any m
Frederick, exuding the presence of the head of the family, welcomed the arriving in-laws with a smile.Afterwards, he behaved well and didn't mention anything about Yasmine, nor did he cause any trouble with his sons.The in-laws were very careful not to mention Frederick's injury, as they didn't want to hurt his pride.Daniel saw how lively it was at home and decided to bring Ena's mother over so that the in-laws could take the opportunity to get to know each other better.In the days that followed, everyone got along very well.In Amberville, Alice Manor.Anthony and Lena were enjoying a peaceful and romantic time together here. No one was bothering them, and they were not going out to work.The two of them spent the entire day cozied up at home.It involved either snacking while watching a movie or playing games followed by some cuddling and kissing.Anthony often made delicious food for Lena and took care of her so well that she seemed completely pampered.This caused Len
"If you won't let me bring her into the family, fine, I'll set up a large estate elsewhere. When the time comes, I won't let you in either."Daniel felt that his father was quite childish.He chuckled and said, "How about this, once the guests leave, I'll take you back to Yasmine. Then you can tell her that you've cut all ties with us and you want nothing. At that point, Yasmine is still willing to stay by your side and take care of you, then we'll do as you wish. How about that?Regarding the greedy Coran siblings, it was important to know that their father didn't have anything valuable left on him, and they wouldn't gain any benefits either.It would be surprising if she still stayed by Frederick's side."Don't underestimate people; Yasmine's love for me is genuine."Frederick didn't want to bet with Daniel.Human nature was something that shouldn't be gambled on.Daniel laughed again. "Are you afraid of losing, Dad?"Frederick stared at Daniel and said, "When have I ever be
Yasmine was not happy when she heard she would be left alone.She knelt beside Frederick, holding his hand and pleading desperately, "Frederick, you can't do this. You can't leave me here alone. If you leave, they'll treat me badly again, just like before. Can you take me with you? Even if it's just to be your nanny, I'm begging you!"Frederick could not stand seeing women cry.When Yasmine pleaded like that, he softened and turned to look at Daniel.Daniel, with a blank expression, said, "Dad, do you really want your in-laws to see you like this?"Frederick also looked upset and said in a serious tone:"Couldn't you say she's my nanny? Who would know?""We have kids at home, do they lie?"Frederick had no choice but to turn to Yasmine and said, "Just stay here. They won’t dare bother you again. I'm leaving now."He raised his hand to signal Daniel to push the wheelchair.Daniel pushed the wheelchair forward.However, Yasmine was unwilling and tried to stop it again.The he
"Are we supposed to live here for the rest of our lives? Even if we have to stay here, at least give us the freedom to come and go as we please."Look at how they've sent so many people to watch over us again, clearly treating us like prisoners."Noticing that Frederick's expression was starting to soften, Yasmine continued to stoke the fire."Tell me, is there any way sons should be treating their father like this? They just want to drive you to your limits so they can split up your assets. Frederick, you can't let them have their way, or else you'll spend your whole life working tirelessly for them only to end up in such a miserable situation. How pitiable that would be.Frederick was speechless.He didn't want to go back. But if he did, his sons would have to treat him with great respect.He hoped that Calvin would bring the military seal, and it had been two days now, yet they still hadn't delivered it to him.Was he really planning on not giving it to him?As soon as he th
She ignored him, and Tommy didn't take the initiative to talk to her either to avoid making her overthink.After sitting in the living room for a while, he waited for all the members of the Crosby family to come downstairs. Once they did, he followed them to the dining room for a meal.As soon as Tommy arrived, Laura put down her fork, got up, and without looking back, said, "Enjoy your meal, I'm heading to the university.""Heading out so early?" Ashley asked.However, she didn't respond and slipped out the door directly.Elias said, "There's an exam coming up, so she's been very focused. She goes in early every day."Curtis and the others didn't seem to mind and invited Tommy to sit down.Only Margot knew why Laura walked so quickly.It was because Tommy was here.Laura had a crush on this big celebrity, and since she couldn't be with him, it was naturally difficult for her to interact with him further.So it was completely understandable that she avoided him whenever she s
