Calvin's whole body stiffened. He did not expect Natalie to approach him voluntarily without blaming him. The long-awaited comfort finally came at this moment, and he excitedly hugged her, his voice becoming somewhat hoarse as he spoke near her ear. "No need to thank me, it's what I should do. If you really want to repay me, can you stop pushing me away? Natalie, I really love you."He was not a promiscuous person, nor was he someone who acted on superficial attractions. Over the years, he had encountered people of the opposite sex, and his family even arranged several blind dates for him, but he had no interest in any of them. It seemed that his heart had long settled on Natalie. Even though she was divorced with a child and had once deeply loved another man, he didn't care. All he wanted was for her to be with him for the rest of their lives.Natalie once again heard his confession. She tried to steady her emotions and slowly moved away from his embrace. However, Ca
Margot searched downstairs and didn't find anyone, so she prepared to go upstairs to check. Just as she reached the stairs, Calvin came down.She squinted at Calvin as she was extremely suspicious. "What were you doing with Natalie upstairs?""Nothing." Calvin walked down the stairs and stood in front of Margot. "Are you hungry? I'll cook dinner for you."He avoided Margot's look, smiled, and went to the kitchen with a relaxed mood.Margot was speechless.She thought, "Nothing? Nothing with lipstick all over your mouth. That's clearly the same shade Natalie often wears. And he didn't even bother to clean up before coming downstairs. But then again, they…"Did they finally make it official?Margot didn't mention the lipstick marks to Calvin, and followed him to the bar counter to watch him cook."What delicious meal are you planning to make today?"Calvin glanced at her and asked, "What do you want to eat?""It doesn't matter what I want to eat. What matters is what Natalie
Calvin frowned. "What's so funny?"Natalie avoided his gaze and reminded him, "Go check the bathroom mirror yourself. I don't even wanna think about what Margot is thinking right now."When Margot came over just now, she didn't see them downstairs but saw Calvin with lipstick all over his mouth, so she would definitely have wild thoughts. Natalie felt embarrassed just thinking about it.Calvin really didn't know what was on his face until he stood in front of the bathroom sink and saw himself in the mirror. Then, he felt extremely embarrassed. Why did Margot laugh when she saw him? She obviously knew, yet she still asked. That little brat didn't even remind him.After quickly washing his face, Calvin came back to Natalie and whispered, "Sorry for eating half of your lipstick just now. I'll make it up to you another day."Natalie turned to him and couldn't help but laugh. "How will you make it up to me?""What do you want me to do then?"He leaned closer to her again, attem
Natalie was also in her thirties. They said women in their thirties had higher libido; he didn't believe she wasn't interested. Natalie looked at the man who kept seducing her. Damn, she couldn't believe she was actually starting to feel tempted. However, she was prideful so she averted her gaze and replied coldly, "I'm not clean, you know. Aren't you afraid I'll 'pollute' you?""That would be my honor."Calvin knew that she was starting to over think again. He suddenly pounced on her, pinning her down on the couch and gazing at her with deep affection."Natalie, if you want, I can make you the happiest woman. But if you're not ready, then we...""You're in your thirties and haven't touched a woman? Who would believe that?" She interrupted him but didn't push him away. They were both adults, and since they clearly liked each other, there was no need to be so coy. Besides, she genuinely liked him. She really wanted to find out what it was like to be with a man in his thirt
The next day, Natalie felt like she couldn't get up as her whole body was sore.Calvin got up and dressed before bending down to kiss her on the forehead. "Rest well today. I'll take care of Benjamin, and I'll bring you something delicious later."Natalie felt that was the only option now. After all, he was a complete beast in bed last night.She pulled the covers over her head, her voice coquettish from within the blanket as she said, "When you talk to Benjamin later, just say I caught a cold and want to sleep a bit longer. Don't say anything else."Calvin looked at her hiding under the covers and acting like a little girl. He smiled and got up. "Okay, just a cold. I'll go make breakfast.""Go ahead."It wasn't until she heard him close the door behind him that Natalie popped her head out. The happiness and joy on her delicate face couldn't be concealed, mingling with a seductive blush. There was even a hint of excitement in her heart. This kind of excitement made her feel
Margot didn't expect Branden to be so shameless. Before she could agree, he had already gone to the fridge, taken out eggs, and started cooking. However, she didn't refuse.……Curtis came back in the morning.He was very excited; the miracle doctor in the countryside had left the mountain a year ago, just as he had predicted fifty percent accurately. Now all he needed to do was find time to go to the island and confirm if it was the same person. Thinking that his daughter was very likely still alive, just hidden away somewhere, Curtis felt much more relieved. Before going to the island, he had to come back and see Margot and Louisd. And he also needed to go home to see his parents.Since he knew the password to the villa, he didn't ring the doorbell but pushed the door open directly.As soon as he entered, the sweet voice of a child from the dining room caught his attention. When he looked over, he happened to see three people sitting in the dining room. The scene
He pushed her aside and got into the car while his eyes reddened.Margot staggered back and, seeing that he insisted on leaving, she didn't try to stop him anymore. However, she felt like her heart was being stabbed with needles, and tears welled up in her eyes."Fine, since that's how you feel, then don't ever show up in front of me again in this lifetime." She was really angry. Margot didn't care about him anymore as she turned around and ran back into the house.Calvin heard the commotion and went out.As soon as he came out, he saw his sister running back into the house while Curtis was sitting in the sedan, his face darker than the bottom of a pot.He walked over and asked, "What's going on? Why did you start arguing with her as soon as you got back?"Curtis didn't look at Calvin. He said in a hoarse voice, "Take care of them for me, I have something to do and need to leave."He then started the engine.Calvin stopped him, and his face darkened. "Curtis, don't make me
Calvin's face instantly turned cold. Remembering that Sabrina was beside him, Calvin looked at her and said, "Sabrina, go upstairs and play with your godmother."Sabrina looked at her father, and seeing him nod in agreement, she turned and ran off.Once she was far away, Calvin turned to the man sitting next to him, whose appearance was overly charming."I don't care if you have any intentions or not, just keep it appropriate. Your daughter will be well taken care of here, but if you want to ruin someone else's relationship, I'm sorry, you should know what I used to do."His implication was clear; he wouldn't show mercy.But Branden didn't seem to take him seriously at all. He smiled even more recklessly. "Hahaha, indeed, for someone who grew up on the training island, your words all carry a killing intent."But don't worry, Calvin, even if I'm interested in you, I won't be interested in your daughter. After all, your appearance fits my aesthetic perfectly."He deliberately ra
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
