"If you don't have anything else, I'm going to class now." Lena glanced at the time; it was already late.Curtis realized he couldn't get more information, so he let her go about her business.He left the school alone, got in the car, and headed to find Margot.On the way, he thought about how their daughter could return to them after more than ten years. It was better than her leaving this world entirely, which made Curtis feel significantly better.At least he felt less guilt and remorse than before.On his way back home, he even made a special stop at the flower shop to choose a fresh bouquet of sunflowers. He also picked a small bouquet for the child by Margot's side.In the afternoon, Margot was at the Vaughn Mansion. She was rehearsing with two children.The nanny was holding Louis and watching from the side.Sabrina was trying very hard to act, but Benjamin wasn’t cooperating and kept a sullen face.Margot was at her wit’s end, and she had to persuade him, "Benjamin,
Suddenly, he remembered what the old man had told him. "As long as you keep her in your heart, she will come back to you one day." The presence of this little girl doesn't matter. Since Margot liked her, he would treat her well from now on."You're welcome." He smiled gently at the child and then looked at Margot. "You've had a tough time these past few days.""It's not tough. I'm just glad you're back. You won't be going on business trips anymore, right?"Margot linked arms with him, and her eyes formed crescents as she smiled.He patted her hand and promised. "No more trips. I'll stay with you and the child every day from now on.""You said it. If you don't keep your promise, I'm going back to my parents' house." Her playful threat made him habitually pinch her cheek."Don't worry, if you go back, I'll go with you.""Wow... Mommy and Daddy have such a good relationship. I'm so jealous," the little girl said while clutching a bouquet of flowers, looking starstruck.Margot le
Anthony was confused about what his mother meant.Impatiently, he said, "Mom, if you have something to say, just say it."Regina didn't beat around the bush and just sent him photos of Lena with Curtis."See for yourself. I'd really like to know why Lena is seeing Curtis alone. Do they have any connection?"Listening to his mother's words while opening the photos, Anthony saw that the people in the photos were indeed Lena and Curtis, but he didn't think much of it.Then he answered on the phone, "Of course they have connections. Curtis and Calvin initially went to the countryside to find Lena's master. This time, Curtis might just be consulting her about something."Hearing this, Regina was unhappy. "You trust that girl so much?""Why wouldn't I trust her? Mom, do you think she would have anything with Curtis? Would Curtis ignore Margot and come to compete with me for Lena?"Anthony understood his mother's intentions well. She was simply dissatisfied with Lena. As long as s
Anthony also had his suspicions, but he just wanted to confirm something.Who would have thought Lena would deliberately stall him and try to make him angry?Luckily, he was not someone who got angry easily.Once he got the result, Anthony softened his tone. "I know, after I finish my work, I'll come and take you out for some delicious food."Lena rolled on the bed, pouting as she asked, "Then let me ask you, do you have someone watching me?""No." He answered very straightforwardly and honestly, "But my mom might have someone keeping an eye on you.""So, your mother told you about Curtis meeting me?""Hmm.""Your mother doesn't trust me at all. I was wondering, even if I pass the assessment, she won't let me be with you, right?"Anthony reassured her. "No, don't overthink it."Even though his mother sent Lena to the etiquette academy just to find various reasons to stop them from being together, because of the past's lessons, he would not go along with his mother's wishes.
No wonder Calvin always came home late and left early in the morning. It turned out he knew that Regina had been keeping an eye on him.Thinking it over, Margot casually replied, "Mom, we can't rush this. Just wait for my good news. And please, don't let dad find out about this, okay?"Given her father's temper, if he knew, he would definitely send someone to bring Calvin back immediately."Hurry though, I'll only give you a month. If you can't handle your Calvin's matter, I'll have to let your dad deal with it.""I understand, I'll do my best."After hanging up the phone, Margot sighed.Curtis looked at her. "It seems your mom won't let your Calvin go. How do you plan to handle this?""Calvin said to wait a bit longer. I'll trust him; he should have a solution by then."After all, it was Calvin's matter, not something she could control.For now, she just needed to keep her mother calm.Curtis lowered his head and looked at the child in his arms while remaining silent.How
Gabriel was already quite annoyed, and Curtis coming over to tease him made him even angrier. "Curt, do you want to get a taste of my fist?"Him fooling around with Calvin? With Calvin?Even if Calvin to him, he wouldn't want him.How troublesome."Do you think you can beat me?" Curtis stood outside the car window and smiled at Gabriel inside the car.Gabriel glanced at him and snorted coldly. "I don't know who was crying like a dog when Margot dumped him."He looked at Calvin and deliberately mocked Curtis. "Calvin, do you know what this guy did for your sister before?""Gabriel." Curtis felt embarrassed and hurriedly interrupted him.Gabriel laughed. "Afraid now?""What am I afraid of? As if you never cried for a woman." Curtis retorted sarcastically.Then, he looked at Calvin and asked, "You cried for a woman too, right?"Calvin stood aside and said, "You two discuss your matters, don't drag me into it."He couldn't afford to embarrass himself.But then again, he did
The three men looked up simultaneously when they heard the sound.When they saw Margot standing by the railing on the second floor, they suddenly realized that they messed up.Calvin glanced at Curtis, "Why didn't you tell me Margot was home?"He thought his sister was next door with Natalie.Now, she heard that conversation.Calvin smiled and replied, "It's nothing. Why haven't you gone to rest?"Margot noticed the three of them acting suspiciously, so she walked downstairs.Arriving in the living room, she stood in front of the three men and eyed them closely."Are you hiding something from me?""Who would hide anything from you?" Gabriel laughed as well.Only Curtis, who was seated in the middle, looked like he didn’t know how to explain.If he spoke, Margot would be upset.If he didn’t speak, Margot would definitely become suspicious.So, should he speak or not?Margot met Curtis' gaze and suggested, "You tell me, who is your Lilac? Where did she go that you need to b
"I deceived you from the very beginning. During the year you were pregnant, I never went abroad. Everyone knows we were once married, but they all kept it from you."Upon hearing this, Margot was almost unable to sit still.Her anger quickly rose.Curtis hurriedly grasped her hand and continued, "You forgot the past because Anthony hypnotized you on purpose. It's because we have a daughter together; she went missing, and you couldn't accept it. "You cried every day, wouldn't eat or drink. Seeing you wasting away and bedridden, they had no choice but to make you forget her. I left for over a year to search for her whereabouts."Margot, Lilac is our daughter. If she hadn't gone missing, she'd be as big as Sabrina by now. That's why I was hesitant about you taking Sabrina as your goddaughter."At this point, Curtis felt like something was stuck in her throat.His daughter was a thorn in his heart; every mention of her felt like a boulder pressing down on him, making it hard to br
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
