Natalie never would have thought that the stereotypically stoic man would actually propose to her.Why was he so sudden? Wasn't he afraid that she might reject him?At this moment, looking at the elegant and beautiful ring Calvin was holding up, to be honest, she didn't dare to accept it.She once considered loving him wholeheartedly and being with him.But she never dared to dream of one day becoming his lawful wife.No one knew better than her what kind of family the Morris' are.Given her situation, would she receive support from his parents if she married him while bringing along her son?Clearly not.So, she hesitated.She thought about how to kindly turn him down without hurting his feelings.Calvin felt a bit of tension in his heart when he saw Natalie not responding.However, he wasn't afraid and looked toward the stairs.Natalie also looked over.Benjamin came down the stairs dressed in a gentlemanly suit.He walked directly over to Calvin and his mother. Benjami
Natalie felt helpless as she looked at the well-dressed man across from her.Calvin looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness."He did it on purpose. It's fine, we'll pick him up later.""Okay."Natalie smiled and nodded. She raised her glass of red wine and clinked it with Calvin's glass across from her. "Mr. Morris, tell me, how did you manage to win over Benjamin?"If her son hadn't said those things afterward, she might have refused.It was her son who gave her the courage to take the final step bravely.Calvin smiled gently and teased her."If you come over and give me a kiss, I'll tell you."Natalie's cheeks turned red. She quickly buried her head in her food, pretending she hadn't asked anything.Calvin stood up and approached her.He sat down next to her, watched as Natalie ate with her head down, and couldn't help but laugh."Honey, are you shy?"The word "honey" made Natalie get goosebumps all over.She looked up at him, her cheeks blushing red."Calvin, you a
Benjamin nodded.Curtis looked at Margot and said, "Wait for me. I'll be back after I put him to sleep.""Go ahead."Margot took her son from the nanny's arms, and the more she thought about it, the happier she felt for Natalie and Calvin.Now that the proposal was successful, they could start planning the wedding.This was great.Margot suddenly thought of something, and dialed her mother's number.Regina picked up the phone, and she said, "Mom, are you asleep?"Regina sighed and said, "How could I sleep? Today, your Dad mentioned Calvin again. He said he had arranged a marriage for him and that he should hurry back to Emeria to meet the bride."Margot immediately asked, "Didn't you tell Dad that Calvin has a partner?""Partner? You mean Gabriel? Can I even say that to your Dad? He will surely give your brother a hard time.""Ahem, I know, I had a good talk with Calvin today, and he promised me."Regina was a bit surprised. "What did you say? He agreed to it? How did you t
"Let's go and give Louis a bath.""Okay."They entered the bathroom. Curtis personally undressed their son, while Margot crouched by the edge of the bathtub to run the bathwater.The water was ready, and Louis' clothes were off as well.Curtis carefully placed Louis into the bathtub, one hand supporting him while the other gently washed his soft body.Margot squatted nearby watching, and couldn't help but think about her daughter again.She wondered if she had bathed her daughter in the same way when her daughter was as young as her son was now.Did her daughter cry when Margot was giving her a bath?Would she be as rambunctious as Louis, constantly splashing around with his legs, causing water to spray everywhere, and babbling noisily non-stop?She was a girl, so she probably wouldn't be as troublesome as a boy, right?Margot wondered how my daughter was doing out there.Would she ever be able to see her daughter again in this lifetime?The more Margot thought about it, th
The next day,vCalvin came early to pick up Margot and her son back home.Curtis was heading out to work at the company, along with a few others.Upon returning to the estate, Margot pretended to inform her mother once again about Calvin's upcoming marriage.Regina pretended not to know that the marriage was a sham. She maintained her proud demeanor, sitting regally in her high seat while looking at her eldest son with a stern expression and asked, "Are you really sure you want to marry the daughter from the Nelson family?"Calvin acted as if he was extremely reluctant."Yes, if you are forcing me to get married, I would only marry Natalie."Regina tried even harder to put on a convincing act."This is still better than you being with some guy every day. Fine, since you’re going to marry her, I'll go over to the Nelson family on your behalf tomorrow."Looking at Margot, Regina asked her, "Margot, you've lived in Amberville for many years. Do you know if there are any customs or
"You have no idea, Calvin has already had his eyes on a woman here for a long time. Since they're going to get married soon, how much are you planning to give as a wedding gift?"Let's not be too frugal; I don't want my precious daughter to feel embarrassed. The other person is a good friend of Margot's."Frederick laughed heartily. "Hahaha, alright then, for the sake of my precious daughter, I'll offer fifty billion. If Margot isn't satisfied, you can add more. Or let the bride's side set their own conditions. Whatever they ask for, I'll meet them twice over.After getting her husband's approval, Regina hung up the phone and looked at her astonished daughter beside her."You heard it, right? Your dad is willing to put up five billion, and I'll add another one and a half billion. That's quite a lot. As for the jewelry, we'll prepare that separately."Margot was stunned.It felt like so much money.Why did she suddenly become so envious of Natalie?Margot asked with interest, "M
Margot ignored Branden and walked straight past him into the house.Upon entering, she saw a child standing on a stool, busy cooking in the kitchen.Margot felt deeply distressed and hurried over."Sabrina."Sabrina saw her godmother coming and wanted to jump off the stool to greet her.Seeing the look in her father's eyes, she quickly contained her excitement, stood on the stool, and shouted toward Margot. "Mommy.""You're too young to do these things; let's not do them. How about I take you out to eat?"Sabrina couldn't help but glance again at her father, who was not far away. Seeing how stern and fierce he looked, she quickly shook her head at Margot."It's okay, Mommy. You haven't had lunch either, right? You and Dad can go sit over there and chat. I'll have lunch ready in no time."She spoke, then turned around and continued working at the stove.Margot couldn't bear to let a five-year-old child cook.She carried her down and walked toward Yunbo."You're an adult man
Margot didn't leave; she put down her phone, turned around, and headed to the kitchen to help Sabrina.Sabrina saw her godmother coming over and advised her. "Mommy, you can go rest now. I can take care of it myself.""Don't worry, Mom will help you. Are we going to make grilled steak next?""Yes."Margot rolled up her sleeves and said, "Let me handle it."Sabrina sneaked a glance toward the living room where her Dad was, and seeing that he didn't say anything more, she let Margot have her way.Branden stopped paying attention to Margot.Just as she was getting ready to head to the study, Margot's phone on the coffee table rang.He glanced over and saw it was Curtis.He looked toward the kitchen and saw Margot focused on cooking. He picked up the phone and swiped to answer the call.On the other end of the phone, Curtis' voice was gentle and warm."Margot, have you had lunch yet? Has Louis woken up?"Branden scoffed and said, "Mr. Crosby, could you come to Starron Residenti
