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
Margot woke up the next morning.When she opened her eyes, she saw a group of people standing by her bed.There were Curtis, Gabriel, Calvin, Anthony, Natalie, Benjamin, Sabrina, and a nanny holding Louis.Everyone stared at her with a serious expression.Seeing she had awakened, they all came closer with concern, "Are you alright, Margot?"With Curtis' help, Margot slowly sat up and leaned against the headboard, and looked at the surrounding people.She couldn't believe they had all deceived her, hiding the fact that her daughter was missing.Did they really think this was for her own good?Even though she still couldn't remember anything from before, learning that she had a daughter who was now missing, she felt a pain so deep it was unbearable."Everyone leave, I don't want to see anyone right now."They were all liars for helping Curtis keep it from her, treating her like a fool.She wondered why everyone knew about Curtis except for her.It turned out she and Curtis we
