"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
After they started to live together and develop feelings for each other, Regina would remind Natalie that it was time for them to have a child.When the time came, Natalie would feel too embarrassed to refuse and would naturally try to find a way to seduce Calvin.Calvin was very responsible, and maybe over time, he and his wife would develop feelings for each other. They might even unexpectedly have a grandchild for Regina.Anything was possible.She was just waiting to become a grandmother.Natalie was speechless.In her memory, Margot's mother was a very stern and elegant lady.She had the chance to meet Regina a few times before, and each time she gave her the impression that she was difficult to get along with and would often make sarcastic remarks that hurt others.When Natalie started dating Calvin, she had a lot of concerns.She thought Regina would never agree for Natalie to date Calvin.But Natalie didn't expect that Regina not only welcomed her but also gave her a
"Natalie, let's go to Lena's school later and bring her out for a meal together."She wanted to tell Lena to be their bridesmaid.Natalie agreed. "Alright, I'll change my clothes and then we can go see her together."When the two of them were ready to go downstairs, they looked at the group of people in the living room, and Natalie said, "Cal, Margot and I are going out for a bit. You guys can do whatever you like."Curtis asked, "What could you possibly have going on?""We're meeting Lena."Margot didn't hide anything.Curtis stood up and said, "I'll give you all a ride. I need to go to the office anyway."Calvin stayed seated without moving, "You all be careful on your way. I'll stay home to keep Benjamin and your parents company.""Okay."In the end, Natalie left with Margot and Curtis.Curtis dropped the two ladies off at Lena's school, left the car for them, and took a taxi to the company.After waiting at the school gate for about ten minutes, Lena finally arrived. Sh
The three women arrived at a shopping mall and chose an pizzaria to eat at.They had a good time.After having lunch, Natalie and Margot took Lena shopping.They helped her buy a pretty dress and a nice handbag.In the afternoon, when it was time to take Lena back to school, Lena didn't want to go back.She looked at Natalie and spoke to Margot, "I don't want to go back. There's nothing interesting there, and it's not about learning anything valuable. It's just about teaching women how to rely on men."She felt like she was learning how to be cautious in all aspects of life; always acting according to others' expectations.Although Lena had been working in the mountains for years, she had never felt this frustrated before.She previously made an agreement with Regina, hoping it would help me change for the sake of Anthony, so that she could become as graceful and poised as Natalie and Margot.But now she felt that no matter how she changed, those who disliked her would remain
After the two men left, the three women continued their conversation.In the car, Curtis was driving. He glanced at Calvin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and asked with some confusion, "Why are you following me? Do you even know who I'm going to meet?""I do."Of course he knew.He proposed to Natalie and then took his family to the Nelson family to present the gifts.He knew that Gabriel was aware of these things.Calvin was Natalie's current husband so he should keep his distance from her ex-husband.However, since Gabriel helped him a lot, he must go and properly thank him.Otherwise, he would really feel bad about it."I'm really impressed with how well you get along with Gabriel." Curtis shook his head and sighed.If it was him, he wouldn't even consider becoming friends with a rival in love.It was already good enough that he hadn't taken drastic action against his rival in love.Calvin looked ahead and sighed. "Actually, I feel quite guilty towards Gabriel.
But the next second, he couldn't tell who was speaking. In his dazed state, he only saw someone next to him with a build similar to Curtis.His vision went dark, and he collapsed into Calvin's arms while holding onto him and crying like a child."Ugh... Curt, Curt, I'm in so much pain. Natalie married that jerk Calvin, and now I'll never have a chance. Boohoo… Curt, you all have your partners, but I'm alone."Curt, please spend more time with me. Otherwise, I don't know if I can keep going. Curt... I really miss all the moments I shared with her from when we were little until now. You were there to witness it all, so you understand how I feel, right?"At first, Curtis was looking forward to seeing some drama.He could see Gabriel holding Calvin, with Calvin being the one he clung to while crying so sadly.Suddenly, he felt a deep sense of sympathy for his friend.Curtis had indeed watched them go through many hardships together.Gabriel had liked Natalie since they were young,
