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'
Margot felt that she couldn't resist Curtis.Whenever he got close, joy filled her heart, and she wanted to go along with him for no reason.Although she had no memory of being intimate with any man, this moment had her acting like an experienced woman as she wrapped her hands around his neck and passionately responded to his kisses.Curtis originally just wanted to kiss her briefly and then cuddle her to sleep.Little did he expect her to take the initiative, and she was playing along so enticingly.If he pushed her away now, wouldn't that make him less of a man?Thinking about how much Margot needed him too, Curtis decided to let go of all burdens and fully indulge.An hour later...Margot lay on his chest, her face flushed with shyness.She pouted, and voiced her thoughts. "Do you really have to go on this business trip yourself? Can't Chester handle it?"Suddenly, she couldn't bear the thought of him leaving.Perhaps it was because they were so open with each other tonig
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
