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're five weeks into your pregnancy. Since your health isn't the best, you must watch out for …"Margot Stone didn't hear what the doctor said afterward. All she heard was that she was pregnant.She was pregnant …She couldn't believe she was having his baby.Didn't this mean that their contract marriage would now turn into a real one?Margot was over the moon. She remembered that he was returning from his business trip tonight, so she grabbed her pregnancy report and dashed home excitedly.As the sun set and the sky began drizzling, Margot returned home completely drenched.As soon as she entered the house, her housekeeper, Doris, rushed over with a towel to dry off Margot's hair."Oh, look at you! You'll catch a cold at this rate! Hurry upstairs and take a warm bath."Still, Margot kept beaming from ear to ear.She bent over to change her shoes. That was when she saw a pair of well-polished leather shoes on top of the shoe cabinet.Pleasantly surprised, Margot spun arou
Margot knew Curtis had given her a lot, and she shouldn't cling to him.However, she was pregnant with his child, so she must think for her child as well."Are you trying to start a fight, Margot?" Curtis' scowl deepened.Standing beside the bed, he looked down at Margot but didn't explain why he was marrying the other woman.Margot didn't want to anger him, but she couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.Working hard to keep her emotions in check, she replied, "I just want to know if you'll stop talking to that woman if I have a baby with you."She was giving him a chance.Curtis pressed his lips together, displeased. Without hesitation, he said, "We will still be getting divorced, just not now. Don't worry. You can have anything you want when we get divorced."Hearing this, Margot shut her eyes as hot tears rolled down her cheeks.Her heart throbbing, she threw herself across the bed, unable to stop her cries any longer.Curtis watched her sob, and his heart began to ache
Margot clung to Curtis as she kissed him passionately and resentfully.No normal man would be able to resist such temptation, including Curtis. He wrapped his arm around her and began kissing her back.He tossed the divorce papers into the table drawer with his other hand before lifting Margot. They slowly made their way upstairs, their kiss never stopping.The journey was easy due to how light Margo was.It was only when he placed her on their bed that Margot realized she shouldn't be doing this in case their actions might hurt her baby.So, when Curtis leaned closer to her, she quickly pressed a hand against his chest.Curtis, having lost all reason, was insistent on kissing her.Margot knew what the kiss would lead to, so she frantically stopped the man. "Stop! I'm not feeling too well, so why don't we stop here?""Too late," Curtis groaned hoarsely. He was about to carry on, but Margot hurriedly pushed him away and curled into a ball at one end of the bed.Curtis was confu
