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,
"Margot will also be troubled if you are stuck in the middle. Therefore, for the benefit of all of us, we should get along harmoniously."Curtis felt that he was too narrow minded himself.Calvin was actually contemplating the bigger picture.No wonder everything in the Morris family was to be inherited by Calvin and not Anthony.There was always a reason behind everything.Curtis extended his hand and said, "Then I really have to thank you."Calvin took his hand and smiled gently. "No need to thank me. Come on, call me Cal."Curtis shook off his hand and said, "Shut up."Calvin narrowed his eyes and looked at him. "You can't even address me that way for once, Curtis? How petty…""Cal." Curtis immediately interrupted and shouted, "Happy now? Cal, thank you for supporting the company, taking care of my parents, and looking after my child while I was away for the past year. Thank you for letting go of past grievances with me, traveling to the mountains to seek a miracle doctor t
Calvin didn't like how Gabriel constantly used foul language when talking to him.He sighed. "You should think about what you've done first before questioning me."Clavin got out of bed but couldn't help but notice Gabriel's expression that looked as if he was ready to destroy everything. He asked with concern, "Do you need some water? I'll go get it for you."Calvin knew that people who woke up with a hangover would generally feel thirsty.Gabriel waking up this early was either because he was thirsty or he needed to use the bathroom.Calvin couldn't help him with going to the bathroom, but he could at least pour him a glass of water."Okay."Even though he was feeling down, Gabriel still responded with a quick acknowledgment before he tried to recall what he had done.However, he couldn't remember anything. He then saw Calvin leaving and Curtis coming in right after.He immediately fixed his gaze on Curtis and asked, "What happened? Curt, why did you let him sleep next to me
Gabriel admitted his mistake as well but he just couldn't stand Calvin showing up in front of him from time to time.Seeing this person made Gabriel feel very uncomfortable.Calvin felt a bit helpless. He sighed as he took the cup and turned to leave quietly.Gabriel, with reddened eyes and discomfort, called out toward Calvin's back, "Don't ever show up in front of me again."Seeing that Calvin had disappeared, Curtis finally spoke up. "Gabriel, I can understand how you feel, but-""You don't understand anything."Curtis didn't fare any better. Gabriel looked at him angrily and said, "Can you imagine what it feels like when your wife, children, and even your best buddy are siding with your rival?"Curtis, listen to me. I don't care how good your relationship with him is, but from now on, if you want to remain as my buddy, don't mention him to me. If you bring him in front of me again, I won't even want to see you."Curtis' face darkened.He pursed his lip, stood up, and said
Curtis didn't argue with her, and instead, he took her hand and led her inside.Margot noticed that despite Curtis' stern demeanor, he still showed care for her through his actions. She smiled knowingly and playfully asked while walking beside him, "What, can't find me at certain times and you're worried I ran off with someone else?"Curtis glanced at her and scoffed."Would you dare? If you dare run off with someone else, I'll break your legs."Despite speaking harsh words, the expression on the face and the gaze in the eyes directed at Margot were so gentle, it seemed as if they could bring forth tears.Margot listened to his violent words and stared at him, "Say it again, whose legs are you going to break?"Curtis was standing there. Although he still had a bit of presence, his facial expression already showed defeat.Before he could try to please his wife again, Margot had already brushed past him and slipped through the mansion's front doors.While running, he shouted, "An
So Gabriel had to personally drive her wherever she needed to go.Curtis listened to the two people and narrowed his eyes again."Who else?""Anthony."Anthony?Curtis was momentarily taken aback.Then, he saw Anthony coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a plate, and walking into the dining room.He set down his coat and told Luna, "You sit, I'll go help.""Go ahead."Curtis followed into the kitchen and saw that Anthony and Gabriel were acting as if they were in their own home, helping themselves to whatever they wanted to eat and making it themselves.He also felt a bit embarrassed and walked over, saying, "It's not right to have you cook since you're visiting, let me do it instead."Gabriel glanced at him and said, "We all treat you like one of us, so why are you being so formal with us?"Anthony responded, "I'm making it for my wife, after all, she only eats the food that I make."Curtis shook his head helplessly.They were showing off their relatio
Margot and Lena turned their heads at the same time.Jordan was dressed in a British-style uniform with a backpack. At eight years old, he stood around four feet tall. His smile was like a little ray of sunshine and could really brighten anyone's day.He shouted, "Mom, Aunt Lena, did you come specifically to pick me up?"Every time Margot heard Jordan call her "mom," it filled her heart with warmth.She raised her hand to give him a hug, gently ruffled his hair, and said, "Of course I'm here to pick you up, get in the car.""It's been a month since I last saw you, and you've grown taller."Lena pulled Jordan onto the vehicle and started driving.Sitting in the car, Jordan couldn't help but smile as he looked at his senior.Lena looked at him and smiled, "Living here, how does it compare to being up in the mountains?"Jordan's eyes landed on Margot, filled with warmth and joy."Wherever my mom and dad are, I feel is the best place. Of course, I'm not saying that being with Mas
Margot greeted them with a smile, saying, "I thought you two would be quietly enjoying your romantic time at the estate. I didn't expect you'd come over to see us!"Lena reached out and gently pinched Louis' round cheeks, then looked at Margot and said, "You keep saying that, but you're not working, so why don't you come visit us?""I'm at home taking care of the kids. You have no idea how challenging it is.""Heh, you're just unfairly blaming Louis. Our little Louis is clearly very well-behaved."Lena ignored Margot and couldn't help but give Louis a couple of kisses after picking him up.Anthony walked over and asked, "Where is everyone else?"Margot motioned for them to come over and sit down, then poured them some water."Natalie just had her baby not long ago, and my in-laws went with Natalie's parents and the others to visit the babies, and they're also going to visit Dad."Whenever Anthony talked about his oblivious elderly father, he got frustrated.He didn't ask any m
Frederick, exuding the presence of the head of the family, welcomed the arriving in-laws with a smile.Afterwards, he behaved well and didn't mention anything about Yasmine, nor did he cause any trouble with his sons.The in-laws were very careful not to mention Frederick's injury, as they didn't want to hurt his pride.Daniel saw how lively it was at home and decided to bring Ena's mother over so that the in-laws could take the opportunity to get to know each other better.In the days that followed, everyone got along very well.In Amberville, Alice Manor.Anthony and Lena were enjoying a peaceful and romantic time together here. No one was bothering them, and they were not going out to work.The two of them spent the entire day cozied up at home.It involved either snacking while watching a movie or playing games followed by some cuddling and kissing.Anthony often made delicious food for Lena and took care of her so well that she seemed completely pampered.This caused Len
"If you won't let me bring her into the family, fine, I'll set up a large estate elsewhere. When the time comes, I won't let you in either."Daniel felt that his father was quite childish.He chuckled and said, "How about this, once the guests leave, I'll take you back to Yasmine. Then you can tell her that you've cut all ties with us and you want nothing. At that point, Yasmine is still willing to stay by your side and take care of you, then we'll do as you wish. How about that?Regarding the greedy Coran siblings, it was important to know that their father didn't have anything valuable left on him, and they wouldn't gain any benefits either.It would be surprising if she still stayed by Frederick's side."Don't underestimate people; Yasmine's love for me is genuine."Frederick didn't want to bet with Daniel.Human nature was something that shouldn't be gambled on.Daniel laughed again. "Are you afraid of losing, Dad?"Frederick stared at Daniel and said, "When have I ever be
Yasmine was not happy when she heard she would be left alone.She knelt beside Frederick, holding his hand and pleading desperately, "Frederick, you can't do this. You can't leave me here alone. If you leave, they'll treat me badly again, just like before. Can you take me with you? Even if it's just to be your nanny, I'm begging you!"Frederick could not stand seeing women cry.When Yasmine pleaded like that, he softened and turned to look at Daniel.Daniel, with a blank expression, said, "Dad, do you really want your in-laws to see you like this?"Frederick also looked upset and said in a serious tone:"Couldn't you say she's my nanny? Who would know?""We have kids at home, do they lie?"Frederick had no choice but to turn to Yasmine and said, "Just stay here. They won’t dare bother you again. I'm leaving now."He raised his hand to signal Daniel to push the wheelchair.Daniel pushed the wheelchair forward.However, Yasmine was unwilling and tried to stop it again.The he
"Are we supposed to live here for the rest of our lives? Even if we have to stay here, at least give us the freedom to come and go as we please."Look at how they've sent so many people to watch over us again, clearly treating us like prisoners."Noticing that Frederick's expression was starting to soften, Yasmine continued to stoke the fire."Tell me, is there any way sons should be treating their father like this? They just want to drive you to your limits so they can split up your assets. Frederick, you can't let them have their way, or else you'll spend your whole life working tirelessly for them only to end up in such a miserable situation. How pitiable that would be.Frederick was speechless.He didn't want to go back. But if he did, his sons would have to treat him with great respect.He hoped that Calvin would bring the military seal, and it had been two days now, yet they still hadn't delivered it to him.Was he really planning on not giving it to him?As soon as he th
She ignored him, and Tommy didn't take the initiative to talk to her either to avoid making her overthink.After sitting in the living room for a while, he waited for all the members of the Crosby family to come downstairs. Once they did, he followed them to the dining room for a meal.As soon as Tommy arrived, Laura put down her fork, got up, and without looking back, said, "Enjoy your meal, I'm heading to the university.""Heading out so early?" Ashley asked.However, she didn't respond and slipped out the door directly.Elias said, "There's an exam coming up, so she's been very focused. She goes in early every day."Curtis and the others didn't seem to mind and invited Tommy to sit down.Only Margot knew why Laura walked so quickly.It was because Tommy was here.Laura had a crush on this big celebrity, and since she couldn't be with him, it was naturally difficult for her to interact with him further.So it was completely understandable that she avoided him whenever she s
