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
"I'll take you and Louis back to the manor first."He wasn't comfortable leaving Margot and the baby at the Crosby residence, even though his parents wanted them to stay.Before he left, he wanted to hand them over to the Morris family, just in case anything happened again.Margot sat in the back seat while holding the baby.She looked at Curtis from time to time. She then pouted and said, "No matter what I say, you're still going."Hearing the complaint and grievance in Margot's tone, Curtis looked at her through the rearview mirror.He comforted her. "Margot, don't be sad. I promise you, this is the last time. After that I'll always be with you and Louis, even taking you to work, okay?"His daughter was his obsession, and he wouldn't be at peace until he found out the truth.He also told himself, if he couldn't find any results this time, he'd convince himself to let go.Right now, Margot and Louis needed him more.But he still hoped that heaven would have mercy on his youn
Natalie immediately picked her up and sat her in her arms. She couldn't help but praise, "Sabrina is so pretty today, such a cute little darling, you will look great on camera."Sabrina's sweet mouth quickly returned the compliment. "Aunt Natalie is also very pretty and especially gentle, just like Mommy. Sabrina really likes you.""Aw, hahah!" Natalie couldn't help but laugh, then looked at Margot. "Did you hear that? This kid really knows how to talk.""That's why I like her so much."Margot locked the car and came over. She raised her hand to pinch the child's chubby little face.The three of them chatted as they entered the hotel.It was meal time, so Natalie had to take the two of them to eat first.When they walked into the private room, they saw only Benjamin sitting inside. Margot asked, "Isn't my brother here?""Your brother is looking after the company for Curtis, isn't he?"Natalie put Sabrina next to her son and looked at Margot. "I heard that Curtis is on a busine
"Natalie, how far have you and my brother progressed?"She had never discussed this matter with Natalie, and Calvin never mentioned it either.She also didn't know if Natalie was aware of what Calvin and Gabriel had done.When Calvin was mentioned, Natalie smiled and glanced at Margot. She was a bit embarrassed. "Why don't you ask your brother?""He's a man, how could I ask him such things?"Margot clung to her arm and said sweetly, "Natalie, just tell me. Can I start seeing you as my sister-in-law soon?"As long as Calvin settled things with the family, the relationship between these two would soon be official.She was suddenly very eager for Calvin to get married quickly.He was 36 and still single, which was worrying.Natalie was reluctant to say much, and gave a vague response. "I don't mind. No matter if I'm your sister-in-law or not, we are still sisters."Margot was overjoyed. "Really?"Natalie smiled and playfully tugged at Margot.Sabrina beside them chimed in, "Mo
Accompany his sister?Calvin narrowed his eyes at the well-educated man sitting across from him and sternly said,"Mr. Sawyer, when did you start taking an interest in my sister? Even if she doesn't remember her past with Curtis now, don't you know the saying, 'a friend's wife is off-limits'?"Gabriel was speechless.Not known for his patience, he stood up abruptly. "If you want me to accompany you, then let's go quickly."Calvin stood up as well. "Young man, don't be so fiery.""Are you done or not?" After giving him a glare, Gabriel was the first to head out the door.Calvin picked up the documents and followed, smiling."Mr. Sawyer, does Curtis know that you're concerned about the mother of his child? Let me tell you, you better not have such thoughts, or Curtis won't let you off easy."Unable to take it any longer, Gabriel stopped and glared at him, "Do you really not understand that it was a figure of speech, or are you pretending not to?"When did he ever care about Margo
Tommy, who was beside her, also looked at the two children on the computer screen and couldn't help but praise them."Forget about Benjamin, he's acted before, so he has some experience. But I didn't expect this girl you found for my sister to be so talented. I've filmed so many shows, and it's the first time I've seen such a young child act so skillfully."Margot glanced at Tommy. "Really? So you've decided on her?""Didn't her father sign the contract with my sister? She's so good at acting, I have no reason not to choose her."Margot looked at the two kids on set again, then returned his gaze to the computer screen in front of him."What are they acting in? Are Sabrina and Benjamin childhood friends?""Yes, they are childhood friends. I'm thinking of having a screenwriter write a movie just for them because they work so well together."With these two, if they starred in a well-written movie, it was just a matter of time before they won awards.Margot thought it was feasible
Seeing that it was Calvin calling, Natalie got up and went to the side to answer the call. After finishing the call, Natalie walked toward Margot, who was not far away and with two children."Margot, you take Benjamin and Sabrina and go back with Calvin first, I have some things to handle."Margot asked, "Is he coming to pick us up?""Yes."Glancing at the time, Natalie then patted Sabrina's head. "It's getting late, you guys should go back.""Okay."Just then, Calvin's car stopped not far away. Natalie and Margot each held a child's hand as they walked toward him.Natalie passed the children to him and said, "Can you please take them home and cook something nice for them?"Calvin frowned and was somewhat unhappy. "Why are you asking so formally?"Natalie smiled. "Not at all. Just bring them home and take good care of them."Calvin was finally satisfied. He gently pinched Natalie's waist and leaned against her while watching Margot lead the children into the car. He asked s
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
