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
A group of people downstairs heard the crying so they rushed upstairs again.When they saw Margot kneeling on the ground as she held Sabrina and cried, they knew she had mistaken Sabrina for Lilac. Everyone standing nearby felt so uncomfortable that they didn't know what to say.They knew for sure that if Margot found out about Lilac, it would be very hard for her to accept.She hadn't even remembered the past yet, but just knowing that her daughter was missing already upset her so much.If she remembered the past, it was likely she'd feel even more upset and guilty.Curtis, with reddened eyes, once again stepped forward to separate Margot and Sabrina."Margot, stop. She's really not Lilac."Margot was in a state of confusion and mistook Sabrina for her dear one.She lost her composure and clung to Sabrina as she refused to let go."This is Lilac, it's her."She cried as she pushed Curtis's hand away, refusing to let him separate her from the child in her arms.At this momen
"It will be alright, everything will be alright."Curtis lowered his head to hide the sorrow on his face and met Gabriel's gaze."Well, at least I know Lilac is not dead; she is still alive in this world. I will give everything I have to find her and bring her back to Margot.""I support you." Gabriel's voice had become hoarse.When he thought about the daughter he once lost, and how his ex-wife now chose Calvin while taking Benjamin with her, he felt he had no right to feel sorry for Curtis.He was already pitiful enough himself; how could Curtis possibly compare to him?It was really impossible to stay any longer. Seeing Natalie standing side by side with Calvin, Gabriel felt a deep sense of discomfort and said, "I'll head back first. Call me if anything comes up."Curtis said, "Let's go, I'll drop you off."In the room, Natalie’s gaze followed Gabriel as he walked away.She found Gabriel to be very strange and unusually quiet lately.He was not as shameless and clingy as b
