Margot felt her heart break at Curtis' sharp glare.Did he think she had pushed Tammy?What a joke. Her husband didn't even trust her.Margot thought about the baby in her belly and controlled her emotions. Then, she went downstairs to eat.She did not leave the house for the whole day. She just kept looking up pregnancy facts on her phone.…Curtis and Tammy were in the hospital. Tammy had just left the ER and was being sent to her ward.Curtis found her doctor and went to ask about Tammy's condition.The doctor reported, "She's in bad shape, especially her brain. There's a risk of blindness. She also fractured her right leg. She might need to be in a wheelchair for a while."Curtis left the doctor's office. He was perplexed as he headed to Tammy's ward.He was indebted to Tammy. Now that Tammy had gotten hurt in his home, it would be hard to shake off the blame.He stood outside of Tammy's ward. His posture was tense as he dreaded entering. However, he did not have a choic
After dinner, Curtis changed his clothes to go to the hospital.Margot followed behind and asked softly, "Curt, can I go with you? If you're worried, I can wait for you at the door."She wanted to see how badly hurt Tammy was.Tammy did this to herself. She played with fire and she wasn't afraid to get burned.Curtis looked at Margot. He said, "I might not come home tonight. There's no use in you going to the hospital. Stay at home and rest.""Do you plan on being with her for the whole night?"Curtis did not answer her, but his gaze told her everything.Margot's bitter mood immediately resurfaced. However, she did not make a scene. She watched Curtis leave as she sat in the living room. She felt like something heavy was pressing down on her chest.When Curtis reached the hospital, Tammy was already awake.She was screaming at the nurses, "Get away from me. Turn on the lights. Why can't I see anything? Why?"Tammy began to throw things and the nurses could only duck.When
For the next two days, Curtis did not return home.Margot was alone in their room every day. She would also eat and go to school alone.Her finals were approaching. All the students were focused on revising for their exams. However, whenever Margot sat at her dorm's study table, thoughts about Curtis would flood her mind.She would think about what he was doing. She wondered if he treated Tammy the way he treated her when they were together.Margot also wondered if they had any physical contact.She questioned if Curtis had missed her at all—even if only for a brief moment.She didn't even hear her roommates talking to her."Hey Margot, what are you thinking about? Let's go. It's time to eat," Quinn shouted.Margot came back to her senses and looked at Quinn. She laughed dryly. "I'm not hungry. You guys can go ahead.""What's been going on with you for the past two days? You've been acting restless. It's as if you've just experienced heartbreak. Is everything alright?"Margot
For the next two days, Margot forced herself to focus on her studies.She wouldn't feel so miserable if she didn't think about Curtis and Tammy.Suddenly, the room's door was pushed open. Quinn was heaving as she ran toward Margot.She said excitedly, "Margot, quick. Someone is waiting for you downstairs."Margot turned to look at Quinn. She asked, "Who is it?""It's Royce. He's here for you again."Margot was stunned.Royce Evans … He was named the most handsome genius on campus. He was a postgraduate student.She never thought he would return after disappearing for two months.Margot said without hesitation, "I'm not going.""Why? He's Royce Evans, the most handsome guy on campus. There's a line of girls trying to win his heart, but Royce only has eyes for you. Why aren't you even the slightest bit interested in him?"Margot said, "I already have someone I like.""What? Someone you like? Who is he?" Quinn narrowed her eyes as she questioned Margot.Margot looked at her a
Curtis did not want to recall the consequences of his impulsive actions when he was young.He looked at Margot. He hesitated slightly before changing the topic."Alright. Let's not talk about other people. Let's eat."Margot noticed Curtis did not want to talk about it, so she relented.She quietly lowered her head and ate while she tried to keep the bitter feeling in her stomach down.Tears brimmed in her eyes as she tried hard to not let the tears fall.Curtis did not touch his cutlery the whole time. He just sat and watched Margot eat.Margot looked up and noticed he was not eating. Her voice was slightly hoarse. "Curt, aren't you eating? You also seemed to have lost weight.""I'm not hungry."Margot was persistent in wanting to watch him eat. She put some food on his plate. "Curt, eat with me."Curtis reluctantly picked up his cutlery.After they ate, Margot asked, "So you won't be following me home tonight as you'll be accompanying her, right?""Yes." Curtis did not de
Margot couldn't sleep.She kept tossing and turning. She grabbed her phone again and again to stare at Curtis' photos.Finally, at midnight, she couldn't stand it anymore and dialed Curtis' number.He picked up after a few seconds. He was still awake."What is it?" His husky voice always softened when he spoke to Margot.Huddled under her blankets, Margot was biting her arm as she choked out, "Curt, I miss you so much."She wanted to see him and be with him. She wanted to fall asleep in his arms every night like she used to.Curtis covered his phone and glanced at Tammy, who was still awake. "I'm going out to take a call."Tammy immediately pretended to be blind as she yelled, "Don't go, Curt! Curt, I can't see anything. Don't leave me!"Curtis said, "I'll just be at the doorway."When he was out of the hospital room, he asked, "Where are you?"Of course, Margot had heard Tammy sobbing and yelling.Her heart wrenched painfully. Even if she cared, she had to pretend that she
He had been helping her?Margot wiped away the tears on her cheeks and turned to look venomously at Curtis who was standing on the steps.She shouted furiously, "Do you need to hold her so tightly to help her? Do you need to kiss her?"Curt, she clearly has a place in your heart. No one will think you're an asshole if you admit that you like beautiful women. That's just how men are."You like her, or else you wouldn't have brought her back. This is our home—the home you bought for me. Did you think it would be exciting to have sex with another woman in our room?""Margot."Curtis cut her off sternly. "You don't have a good memory, do you? Since you like throwing tantrums so much, then leave. And if you leave, don't come back."He was mad, and the energy he was giving off was frightening.He had just helped Tammy because she was about to fall. How did it become a kiss?He was just creating trouble for himself if he stayed with such an unreasonable woman.Margot was so upset th
Divorce …Hearing Curtis say those words broke Margot's heart. She felt like she was suffocating from the pain.She was in distress. Her throat was so swollen she couldn't even say a word.She slumped down to the ground slowly and curled up on the floor in despair. She had no idea what to do.Curtis wanted to get divorced. What would happen to her and the baby?She sobbed and had no courage to answer him. Curtis' cold voice rang out again. "Margot, I'll give you ample financial security, and I won't neglect you in the future, either."Margot forced herself not to lose control of her emotions, despite tears trickling down her cheeks like broken strings of pearls.But she couldn't suppress her sobs as she said tragically, "Curt … thank you for saving me, and thank you for looking after me for all these years. Thank you for fulfilling my wish and marrying me."Curt, I won't get in the way of you marrying someone else. You're so resourceful. You'd still be able to get divorced
"Could it be that he misses you and wants to bring you home?"Edna nodded with a smile.Natalie couldn’t help but say, "People in love are like this; they can't stand being apart for a few hours. You should head back quickly."Even though they were a married couple and already had kids.However, they might still be in the honeymoon phase.So Natalie and Margot understood the current situation between Edna and Daniel.Edna bowed her head, feeling quite embarrassed.She lowered her voice and said, "Daniel told me not to leave the room. He's coming to pick me up because it's raining outside."Her eyes were filled with joy and happiness.Margot and Natalie exchanged a glance and smiled at each other, genuinely happy for Edna.Of course, they were also relieved and pleased that Daniel had finally broken through his emotional defenses and genuinely accepted Edna.Daniel arrived half an hour later and brought a coat for Edna.He briefly greeted Natalie, checked on the two children
Louis was very happy to see his mom, sticking close to her all the time and not responding to her uncle's words at all.Margot didn't believe it for a second and left the house while holding Louis.In an instant, he caught sight of Curtis standing next to the wall.She looked at him somewhat resentfully. "What are you playing at with all this mystery? I actually thought Louis was sent by you."Curtis smiled and embraced both mother and child warmly."I wouldn't dare. If I lost the package with Louis inside, you would definitely be furious with me.""If you lose my Louis, I'm going to be really upset with you."Margot, ignoring Curtis, carried Louis into the room.Curtis followed her inside.Looking at Natalie on the bed, he smiled and said, "Congratulations! You got yourselves a pair of kids."Natalie had incredible luck; she ended up having twins, a boy and a girl, which was something that happened very rarely.Natalie responded with a smile, "Thank you, and I heard that on
Considering Frederick's current attitude toward the three brothers, sending the food personally would definitely make him angrier.So it was best for them to steer clear for now.In the dining room, four men were sitting together.Curtis rarely spent time alone with these three men, and it made him inexplicably anxious.He was worried that if he did anything they didn't like, they might "fire" him as their brother-in-law."After you resolved your brainwashing spell, there haven't been any complications, right?" Daniel asked.Curtis looked at him and said, "Not really, I've always been wearing this sachet that my daughter gave me. I've heard from Branden that it's supposed to protect me from brainwashing spells."Actually, that sachet only helped to relieve his headache.It was not to destroy the brainwashing spell.It was actually done by Branden on the sachet, using his special techniques.It was good that it got resolved.Daniel raised his beverage cup and said, "Congratul
Curtis was really taken aback. He had made a special trip from far away to see his father-in-law who had just returned, only to be met with such an unexpected attitude.However, being the junior, there was no choice but to keep smiling and continue on."Mr. Morris Senior, there's no need to get upset. It's not a big deal, and there's no need to have any unpleasantness within the family."Frederick glanced once more at Curtis, reminding himself that this was his daughter's husband, and made an effort to soften his expression."I really didn't want to have a conflict with them, but they insisted on going against me."Curtis stood nearby and cautiously began to speak, "I think you should focus on taking care of your health right now. Once they help you get the prosthetic fitted, and you're able to stand and walk, do you think they'll stop you from doing what you want?"First, Curtis came up with a temporary solution. Once the elder had calmed down over time and understood the challe
Calvin shook his head in exasperation and said, "When it comes to being self-absorbed, no one can compete with you."He asked the little kid in his arms, "Isn't that right, Louis? Are you happy to see your uncle?"Louis had a soft, fair complexion and a very adorable smile.Louis, who was quite smart, looked at Calvin with bright eyes and replied enthusiastically, though not very clearly, "Ha-happy, I feel happy to see uncle."Calvin exclaimed, "Wow, my little nephew is truly smart. You're just over a year old and already know how to respond to me.""You should think about who's the one who gave birth to him.""Heh."Seeing Curtis about to indulge in his narcissism again, Calvin glanced at him and scoffed, "You should consider who this child is born to. Don't forget, this little boy is half from the Morris family."Curtis was speechless.He didn't want to argue with him. He just stepped forward, opened the car door, and got in.Calvin carried the child and got on the bus.Th
Yuuken was terrified as he angrily shouted at Anthony, "What are you trying to do? I saved your father's life! Is this how you treat your benefactor?" Anthony was losing patience and he couldn't be bothered with any further explanations. He simply motioned to the men beside him. A group of bodyguards stepped forward and began beating Yuuken mercilessly. They struck him until he was sprawled on the ground, blood pouring from his mouth, unable to even crawl. He never imagined things would turn out this way. If he had known that returning with the Morris family would lead to such a fate, he would have taken the money he had already received and started a new life elsewhere.He looked up at Anthony and pleaded tearfully. "Mr. Morris, I know I was wrong! Please, spare me!"Anthony sat elegantly, exuding nobility, and glanced at him disdainfully. "Do you know why I had you beaten?"Yuuken thought for a moment before replying, "Is it because I wasn't satisfied even after taki
Yasmine thought about it and agreed. After all, this family seemed well-educated and reasonable. So, she relented to her brother. "Alright, you can go with him, but come back early. Later, you can take me to see it too.""Alright."After using his hand to wipe his mouth, Yuuken hurriedly walked toward Anthony and said, "Let's go, take me there now. Is the castle like the one your family lives in? Does it have lots of helpers and a butler? Are the household staff young? I don't want old women serving me"Anthony's expression darkened immediately as he turned to lead Yuuken out. His thin lips pressed into a tight line, and he chuckled coldly. "Don't worry. They're all young women in their twenties, beautiful as flowers.""Really?"Yuuken believed him and even patted Anthony on the back. "You really do get me."However, Anthony shot him a cold glare.His entire demeanor exuded icy hostility and it made Yuuken feel intimidated. He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, alright? You
Calvin would never let his sister pick up Curtis by herself. He said, "I'll go pick him up. You can go to the maternity center and spend some time with Natalie."Margot didn't argue with him and agreed. That evening, she prepared some food and went to the maternity center with Edna. In Natalie's room, seeing Edna and Margot each holding a baby, she asked worriedly, "So, in the end, that woman will be welcomed into the house?"She had heard about Frederick's situation and she was shocked. A man in his seventies was still able to have a woman carry his child... If words got out, how could his sons face the public? Did he not care about his own reputation anymore?"Judging by Dad's attitude, it seems he's determined to bring her into the house. We'll try to persuade him again."Margot didn't want Natalie to worry about family matters. She held the baby and walked over to Natalie. She changed the subject and said, "Natalie, look, this baby looks so much like you."Edna c
No matter what was said, his children ultimately wouldn't agree with him. Feeling frustrated, Frederick set down his cutleries, leaned back against the headboard, and closed his eyes. "Alright, you can leave now. I'm going to rest."Margot glanced at the barely touched food and tried to persuade him. "You should eat a little.""I can't eat. I'm full from the anger you've all given me."Margot stopped trying. She stood up and carried the tray downstairs. In the luxurious and spacious living room downstairs, the three brothers, Edna, and Lena were sitting together and discussing their father's situation, trying to figure out how to handle the Coran siblings. As Margot walked downstairs with the tray, she overheard them and said, "Dad wants us to deal with Yuuken but keep Yasmine for now."Everyone looked up at her, and Anthony was quite surprised. "Dad wants us to deal with Yuuken?""Mmhm, I told him about Yuuken's poor character, and Dad listened to me. He said you could ha
