Gabriel couldn't be bothered to respond to Curtis' teasing.Calvin looked at Curtis and asked a completely unrelated question, "Did you manage to make her happy in just one night?"Feeling embarrassed, Curtis didn't know how to respond, and remained silent.Calvin then added with a serious tone, "Luckily, Margot is simple-minded and doesn't hold grudges against you. But that doesn't give you the right to keep bullying her repeatedly. Listen, if I hear you shout at her one more time, I won't hold back against you."He wasn't joking this time.Margot deserved to be the happiest, most carefree person in the world.Anyone who made her suffer even a little would face Calvin's wrath tenfold.Curtis knew he was in the wrong and reluctantly promised Calvin. "It won't happen again.""Remember that."Calvin then stood up and signaled to Gabriel. "Let's go. You helped me a lot, so let me treat you to a meal outside."Staying in the house was not suitable.If Frederick came back and sa
She really liked him.It was the kind of feeling like she wanted to have a great future together with him.She firmly said, "I can only promise you that I won't like anyone else but you. Of course, I also hope you can trust me. In the future, don't use silent treatment to handle things, and definitely don't disappear without being reachable. That behavior hurts a lot."Curtis remained silent.He lifted his eyes to look at Margot, and saw her clear, bright eyes fixed on him.Curtis felt a pang in his heart, and tightly pursed his thin lips. "Hmm, I'll change."If he didn't improve his temper, how could the Morris family agree to marry Margot to him?Margot was no longer the same as before; she now had her family's protection and was no longer the pitiful girl without him.And after all these years, he remained the same person.With his current self, how could he be worthy of marrying Margot?"Are you feeling better? Is your fever still here?" Margot raised her hand to touch hi
"Change yourself."The next second, she ran out quickly.Curtis watched her back and smiled faintly.Margot was just like when they first got married; she still got shy.The only difference was, she used to love helping him put on suits and ties, but now she was too scared to do it.Without thinking too much, Curtis hurriedly changed his clothes.Margot ran to the restroom and splashed cold water on her face.Was she crazy? She actually got nervous just now.Was it really necessary? He was just an old man in his thirties, like a brother.Hadn't she seen lots of handsome guys? She shouldn't act like a love-struck teenage girl.Margot forced herself to calm down.After washing her face, she walked out.Coincidentally, she saw Curtis coming out of the walk-in closet.When she saw him in his suit, Margot was stunned.She had thought he had chosen an ordinary black suit, and questioned his fashion sense.But when he actually wore it, she found it stunning.It looked like it
"Is that Curtis?"Royce slammed on the brakes, lowered the window, and looked back.Seeing the car driving away, he turned to ask Zyla, "What did you say?"Zyla was still in shock and hadn't recovered. "Wasn't Curtis dead? How did he come out of the manor?"Royce was stunned.Curtis? He was alive?Thinking of something, he quickly drove into the manor.As the car stopped in front of the mansion, Royce saw Margot standing at the door.He urgently got out of the car and ran up to Margot. "Did Curtis come back?"Zyla followed closely.When she saw how Royce acted as if he had lost his soul every time he saw Margot, her face turned pale with anger.Margot looked at the two who had run back and felt deeply uneasy.Ignoring them, she strode into the house.Royce didn't give up. He chased after her and asked again, "Was that Curtis driving out just now?"Margot said in a bad mood, "What does it matter to you if it's Curtis or not?"Margot didn't want to see them, so she avoided
Regina almost fainted from anger after hearing what Margot said.She tried to keep her breathing steady while pressing her forehead, and her face was filled with rage.Margot hurriedly raised her hand to help calm Regina down. "Mom, don't get angry, it's bad for your health.""How can I not be angry? I worked so hard to raise Calvin to be so outstanding, just so he could inherit everything from your father, and what's the result..." Still unable to accept the fact that her son liked men, Regina looked at Margot."Margot, do you think he's doing this on purpose to avoid the girls I arranged for him?"Margot quickly shook her head, and said seriously, "Mom, it's not like that. Calvin and Mr. Sawyer's relationship is known to both Curtis and me. They're real. Besides, how could such a thing be faked?""Why can't it be faked? Didn't he like that woman before, what's her name? Natalie, right? Didn't he like her before? How can he suddenly like men?"Margot stabilized her expression.
"What if he doesn't listen? He is your father's hope. If your father finds out he likes men, he would be furious enough to disown him.""Just don't let Dad know for now. I'll think of another plan. Calvin trusts me the most so he won't suspect anything. Later, I'll find a stunning woman, drug him, and put her in his bed."Regina was moved upon hearing this. "Will it work?""I don't know, we need to try it to find out. But Mom, please promise me you won't send someone to trouble Calvin and Mr. Sawyer. If you push them too hard, they might really end up committing suicide together.""What if we send the woman to his bed, and he still doesn't touch her?"Regina wiped her tears, considering her daughter's plan feasible. Calvin had always been responsible. If he were to touch a girl, he might feel obliged to take responsibility for her. Margot said, "Since you said Calvin is crucial to our family, I'll find a way. Leave this to me, please don't interfere, okay?"Thinking about how
"I'll talk with you later. Please take good care of Mom for me."Margot knew Calvin was unwilling to talk meant things were likely progressing well.Margot quickly replied, "Okay, don't worry. You can count on me at home.""Mm." After hanging up, Calvin personally served food to Gabriel while smiling ingratiatingly at him. "Thanks for your hard work today."Gabriel's face had been dark since leaving the manor.He kept wiping his hands with a wet towel from the restaurant, as if his hands had been contaminated. He appeared extremely disgusted.Seeing his reaction, Calvin felt exasperated. "Is it really that bad? My hands aren't dirty."Gabriel glared at him. "I've never held a man's hand in my life. I haven't even held Curt's hand. Why would I hold yours?""Pft!" Calvin snickered. "You're upset about that? We're both men, why does it matter?""It's precisely because you're a man that it matters."Damn, this whole thing made him feel awkward.What was he even doing? Pretendi
Calvin realized he shouldn't have spoken that way, so he quickly changed the topic. "Then it's settled, we will both accompany Benjamin as he grows up." Gabriel remained silent. ……In the afternoon, Curtis returned from the company. He took Louis and Margot back to the Crosby residence. That night, the two stayed there. Thinking that he still had to visit the old man on the island, Curtis went to Margot's room before bed. He sat on the bed and played with Louis. "I have to go on a business trip tomorrow, maybe for a week." Looking up at Margot, Curtis spoke with a trace of guilt. "Take good care of our child at home." Margot was displeased upon hearing he was going on a trip. She knew that the company was running smoothly, as it was a stable period without many issues that required traveling. Hence, he was lying, but Margot didn't want to expose him. "No problem, you do your work, I'll take good care of our son for sure." "Margot, don't overthink. I'
