Tommy turned to Curtis and asked, "I suppose you and Tammy must have done something that somewhat triggered Margot?"Curtis remained silent, his head lowered. He vividly remembered the events leading up to Margot's attempt to take her own life.It was because Tammy had kissed him. At that moment, Margot appeared unfazed and even commented that he and Tammy were well-suited for each other.It turned out that she still held him dear in her heart. So much so that, even as she started to recover, she couldn't bring herself to think about him and Tammy anymore.He was truly at fault for the current situation.Curtis' silence indicated his acknowledgment of being somewhat responsible for what had transpired.Tommy added, "I can help you take care of her for the time being, but I hope you won't hold it against me for whatever happens in the future."Curtis knew that, at the moment, only Tommy could effectively care for Margot. Although he didn't fully grasp what Tommy meant about futur
Margot thought to herself, "Curtis Crosby?" She furrowed her brows, feeling like Tommy had mentioned this name before, but she couldn't recall anything about it. No longer paying attention to the stranger, Margot turned to Natalie with a mischievous look in her gaze. "Natalie, why did you bring your friend over instead of your husband?"Natalie suddenly felt embarrassed by Margot's question. She glanced back at Curtis who was standing behind her.Curtis carefully approached Margot, extending his hand in a gentlemanly and elegant manner. "Hello, I'm Curtis Crosby."Margot cast a cold glance at Curtis, not bothering to shake hands with him. "I'm sorry, but I don't feel comfortable interacting with unfamiliar men."Margot turned to Natalie, pulled her over, and continued to chatter. "Natalie, your skin looks so amazing! Your husband is such a lucky man to be able to marry such a wonderful woman like you! Would you mind staying with me at the hospital today?""Sure!"Natalie wore a
Margot shifted her gaze to Curtis once more, scrutinizing him. She tried to recall, but before she could, her head started throbbing again.Uncomfortable, she shook her head and said, "I don't remember, and my head hurts so much."Witnessing her pain, Curtis tensed up, almost raising his hand to reach out to her.However, Tommy intervened before Curtis could, immediately comforting Margot. "There, there. Let's not dwell on it if you can't remember. The pain will go away as long as you don't think about it."Margot nodded and began to feel a little drowsy. "Tommy, tell him to leave. I want to rest." "Alright then. You should rest first since you're feeling uncomfortable," Tommy replied, glancing back at Curtis and motioning for him to leave.Having no other choice, Curtis left for the time being. However, he didn't go far and remained seated by the door. If the company urgently needed him to sign the documents, Chester would bring them over.Curtis, who had been in the hospital
If that debt remained unsettled, Tammy would never let him off the hook for the rest of her life.Curtis impatiently glanced at the time on his wristwatch.He didn't want to waste any more time, so he started the engine and said, "I've had enough of this. Either you do as I say, or you're out of my life."With that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.Tammy ran after him for a few steps, then watched as the car vanished into the distance. Suddenly, she came to a halt and let out a sardonic laugh. "The more it matters to you, the more I'm inclined to ruin it. Let's see how Margot will survive this."…Margot had finally made a full recovery and was discharged from the hospital. She stood by the window of her hospital bed, savoring a bite of her food as she watched Tommy tidy up for her.Once he finished, Tommy gestured to her. "Let's go, Margot. It's time to go home."Margot nodded cheerfully in agreement. She approached Tommy with a smile and fed him a snack. Tommy
A jarring bang reverberated through the chassis as Curtis' car collided directly with the vehicle in front of him, which was waiting at the traffic light.Fortunately, Curtis reacted quickly and slammed on the brakes, averting a potentially more severe collision.Margot, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt, was thrown forward by inertia when Curtis abruptly braked. Just as Margot was about to hit her head, Tommy shielded her."Are you alright, Margot?"Margot shook her head and glanced at Curtis behind the wheel. "What just happened? Did we get into an accident?"Curtis remained motionless in the driver's seat, his mind still consumed by the image of Margot leaning on Tommy's shoulder. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, as if trying to strangle it. It was evident that he was seething with fury, yet he couldn't vent it.The driver of the car that was hit got out and began yelling and banging on Curtis' car window. "What the hell are you doing? Do you even know how to drive? Do y
Curtis dismissed Doris and then followed Margot to the backyard.Natalie was busy preparing pastries and arranging them on plates in the back lawn. Gabriel was nearby, working on the flowers and balloons.Margot stood in the distance, marveling at the beautiful decorations in the backyard. They were like something out of a fairy tale.She cheerfully exclaimed, "Natalie!"Natalie turned around, smiling, and waved her hand excitedly. "Welcome back, Margot! Come over here and see what I've prepared for you."Margot walked over to Natalie, her mouth watering at the sight of the table full of delicious pastries.She hugged Natalie, affectionately nuzzling against her, saying, "You're the best, Natalie! I love you so, so much!"Natalie smiled gently and responded, "I know you love me, but I already have a very loving husband."Glancing at the nearby man, Margot asked, "Is he the one?"Natalie nodded. "That's right! Isn't my husband good-looking?"Margot wanted to agree but caught s
Margot blinked her doe-like eyes as she gazed at the man before her. Her voice became increasingly faint."Can't I call you 'Curt'? Your name is Curtis Crosby, right?"She didn't know why she had to call him "Curt", but it seemed very befitting for him.Curtis found himself unable to speak. As he gazed at the individual before him, the sound of her calling him "Curt" lingered in the air, a comforting familiarity that hinted at positive prospects.With a gentle expression on his face, he nodded and said, "Of course you can. You can call me whatever you want.""Alright, you guys carry on then. I'll be heading over there."With that, Margot hastily turned around and ran off.She felt that her change toward that man had been too sudden, and it would make others think that she had deliberately approached him to build a relationship after learning his identity. That wasn't the case.She had previously misunderstood him, so she simply wanted to apologize to him.Meanwhile, Curtis
Curtis sought solace in alcohol, hoping to numb himself so that he could completely forget about the scene before him. He continued to reassure himself that Margot's behavior toward Tommy was a result of her confusing Tommy with him.Recognizing the critical moment, Curtis knew he couldn't let anger take over and risk stimulating Margot. He had to restrain himself.Natalie and Gabriel, who were sitting nearby, remained silent. They were silently observing the scene before them.When Margot noticed Tommy remained unmoved, she frowned and puffed out her cheeks as though she was about to cry."Do you not like me anymore? Why can't you fulfill such a small request of mine?"Tommy felt like he was reaching his breaking point. If Margot kept hugging his arm and acting coquettishly, he would eventually give in.Left with no choice, Tommy laughed dryly to hide his discomfort and poured Margot some wine. "Fine, here's your drink. Just a sip, though. After all, the injury on your head hasn
