"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
Margot really found Branden quite perplexing.When facing different people, one showed different attitudes.He was clearly trying to stir up trouble between her and Curtis.Feeling really upset, even though she couldn't bear to part with Sabrina, she bid farewell after lunch."Sabrina, I am leaving now. You need to take good care of yourself."After all, it was as if Sabrina didn't have a father at all.If she didn't take good care of herself, it would be a miracle for her to grow up safely.Sabrina was reluctant to part with her godmother. With teary eyes, she cautiously stood behind her father and waved goodbye to Margot."Goodbye, Mommy and Daddy.""Goodbye."Margot fought back the bitterness in her heart, turned around, and quickly left.She was afraid that if she didn't leave resolutely, she would soften her heart and stay.But that really wasn't her child, and the child's father didn't want her to meddle. She had no choice but to put away her good intentions.Curtis
Curtis' expression momentarily froze.He didn't deny it and simply replied, '"Hmm.""Why? And when did it happen?"Curtis was silent.Looking at Margot's eager expressions, he found himself in a bit of a dilemma.Of course, he couldn't tell the truth.What kind of excuse could he use to convince her without making her dislike him?Curtis was thinking.Margot saw that Curtis couldn't respond, so she simply walked forward and continued speaking on her own, "I don't know what exactly happened between us before, but I feel there's no point in digging into it. I like you now, so your past doesn't matter to me."Since we're already divorced, it would be best not to live together in the future. We're not even a couple, so living together feels really strange.Curtis caught up with her and asked, "Can we remarry?"Remarry?Margot paused again and met his gaze. She could tell he was very anxious.But she shook her head and refused."Let's just drop it. I can't remember anything fr
After checking it, she was very shocked.She never expected that she would marry Curtis right after turning 20.She married him, but within a year they got divorced.She was 26 years old this year and had been divorced from Curtis for five years.Lilac was actually born after she and Curtis had divorced.Even more bizarre was that they had already divorced, yet she somehow managed to have another child with Curtis.So, did the two of them make up later?It seemed that not all of the blame could be placed on Curtis.Maybe she truly loved Curtis, and even without a marriage, she was willing to have his children.She shouldn't be making a fuss about not wanting to live with him.She was barely aware of her surroundings when she returned home. Margot saw someone walking toward her from the direction of the living room just as she stepped through the front door.It was Royce.She initially planned to ignore him and go straight upstairs, but Royce called out to her."Margot..."
"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
