When Benjamin addressed him as "Dad", he immediately adjusted his emotions.But the next second, he couldn't hide his excitement. He nodded and replied in a hoarse voice, "Alright, I promise I won't bother her anymore.""Thank you for understanding, but you should also go and find your own happiness. I'm hanging up now, bye."Really afraid that his son would hang up, Benjamin quickly shouted, "Benjamin, have you really forgiven me?"Benjamin forced a smile.Actually, forgiving him didn't hold any significance anymore.People always moved forward.Why dwell on the past?He was ten years old now and acted quite mature for his age.Without Lilac by his side, he needed to strive to grow up, quickly finish his studies, and earn more money.When he became an adult, he would leave the guardianship of the adults and step into society to find Lilac.He firmly believed that Lilac was still alive.She might be waiting somewhere for him to find her.Hence, he hadn't worried about his
He bent down and kissed her forehead, "Let me bring it over and feed you, alright?"Margot looked at him with a sorrowful gaze."I already said I don't want to eat."Curtis saw that she was genuinely angry, so he immediately backed down."Okay, no worries. Just sleep a little longer, I'll stay with you."Curtis lifted the blanket, lay down beside Margot, and pulled her into his arms to comfort her back to sleep.Margot didn't push him away; instead, she adjusted her position and snuggled into his arms."Curtis…" She called out softly, her voice carrying the haze of sleep, it sounded so endearing that it could melt Curtis' heart.Curtis looked down at her, his voice gentle as he said, "What's wrong?""It hurts…" Margot frowned, looking rather pitiful.Curtis looked at her, and he felt bad for her.He immediately held her tighter, his face full of apology as he said, "I'm sorry, it was my fault last night."Margot looked up at him and smiled."I'm not blaming you, but next t
At 10:00 AM, two men finally walked out of the presidential suite, each holding their wife's hand.When the four of them met in the corridor, they all shared a knowing smile.Curtis spoke up, "I'm taking Margot to work. What about you two? What are you planning to do?"Calvin said, "Natalie and I will first go to her house to pick up our child."He felt really bad about neglecting Benjamin for an entire evening.The four of them then walked into the elevator. Margot pulled her hand away from Curtis', moved closer to Natalie, and hooked her arm around hers. She then leaned toward her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Natalie, my brother didn't give you a hard time, did he?"Natalie glanced at Margot with a smile and asked, "Did Curtis?"The two women exchanged smiles. They understood each other without needing to say a word.They avoided the two gentlemen and quietly engaged in a private conversation amongst themselves.Calvin and Curtis stood beside watching, shook their hea
Anthony felt uncomfortable about what Regina had said. He actually wanted to take Lena with him, so he specifically went to the school to ask Lena.However, Lena was still in contact with her former instructor.Anthony was very angry at the time.The two had another argument.In the end, he didn't invite Lena. He left in a huff and came straight back.Now when Margot asked, Anthony just gave a perfunctory response."Alright."Seeing that they were all standing outside, Margot asked again, "What's going on? When are we leaving? Where are Mom and Dad?""Mom is changing her clothes and will be out, but Dad, who is still in Emeria, hasn't made it back yet.""How about Daniel?"In Margot's memory, she had never met Daniel.Daniel never appeared either.Regina kept saying that Daniel was too busy with work in Emeria to find time to come over.However, Margot didn't even have a way to contact Daniel. During holidays and festivals, she didn't even get to speak a single word to him
Margot walked up with a smile and said, "Mom, you look so elegant today."Regina smiled, took her daughter's hand, and gently reminded her by saying, "Ride in the same car as Calvin. Keep a close watch on him, talk to him, and make sure he doesn't change his mind and try to run away, okay?"Margot nodded. "Alright, I promise to complete the task."Then, with a smile, she walked up to Calvin and linked her arm with his."Calvin, I'll ride with you in the same car."Calvin responded with a grunt and said, "Everyone, let's go, it's getting late."They then get into their cars one after another.Curtis couldn't bear to be separated from Margot.Seeing her take Calvin's arm and prepare to get into the car, he quickly stepped forward and took her hand. "Margot, I'll sit with Calvin. You go sit with your mother."Margot insisted by saying, "No, my Mom gave me a task to make sure Calvin doesn't run away halfway through."She knew very well that Calvin couldn't wait to get to the Nels
"Margot, I know that sometimes you must care about Zyla being around, but don't worry, I love you more than her. You probably don't understand why I keep her around, do you? It's because...""Mom." Margot interrupted Regina. "Curtis has already told me about why Zyla is still here. I understand you all, and I don't mind her presence."So you don’t need to feel like I can’t tolerate her. Besides, I might be staying at the Crosby residence with Curtis in the future and won’t be home much to keep you company. Having her with you makes me feel a bit better."Since she wasn't there with her parents in the past, it was Zyla who kept them company.As long as Zyla was fine with it, it was actually quite good if she could accompany her parents forever.Margot felt that she should be grateful to Zyla, rather than resenting her existence.Regina was deeply moved by her daughter's words.She raised her hand, embraced Margot warmly, and expressed her feelings."Your personality is completely differ
The group of people gradually sat down in the living room.The Nelson family didn't have a mansion as large and luxurious as Alice Manor, which even had a dedicated reception room.Including the elders of the Nelson family and about ten others who had come, the entire living room was filled with people. Hence, it was quite lively.When the gifts were carried into the house by the bodyguards and placed in front of everyone, Calvin took the list of gifts and gracefully handed it to Alicent."Mrs. Nelson, could you have a look?"Alicent smiled and waved her hand. "I only knew that you would be coming today, but I didn't know you would bring so many things."She thought about how her daughter had found a good family.Calvin treated Benjamin exceptionally well, leaving them nothing to complain about.Moreover, since this was Natalie's second marriage, they did not feel comfortable asking for gifts.Alicent looked at Calvin and declined. "We appreciate the things you brought, but we
It was literally 6.5 billion dollars.Why was the Morris family giving her so much?She was too ashamed to accept it.Eddie immediately stood up and said, "Mrs. Morris, this is absolutely unacceptable. A 6.5 billion cash as gift is just too much. People who don't know any better might think the Nelson family is selling... our daughter.""Mr. Nelson, this is just a small token from my parents. Don't worry, once Natalie marries me and brings the child with her, I'll make sure to visit you every week. It's not about saying that if you marry Natalie to me, she will no longer belong to you."Since she is your only daughter and I am your only son-in-law, I will be sure to join her in taking care of you and showing you respect in the future. So please accept this gift and allow me to be with Natalie."The elders kept refusing to accept the gifts.Calvin felt a bit helpless and decided to just kneel down on both knees and plead in front of everyone.This meant to tell the elderly coupl
