Not knowing who the visitor was, Curtis got up and went to hide.The person who walked in was Gabriel, carrying a bottle of wine and two boxes of snacks.He walked past the living room and headed straight to the dining room after turning on the lights.After arranging the snacks, he went to the kitchen cabinet, took out two wine glasses, and poured wine into both. One was for himself and the other for the opposite side of the table.After drinking two glasses alone, Gabriel muttered to himself, "Curt, in the blink of an eye, you've been gone for a year, and everything seems to have returned to normal."It's as if you've never existed in the world of the person you loved. Everyone is slowly forgetting you. Maybe I'm the only one who would occasionally come to talk to you.""Curt, in this year you've been away, I've really missed you. How could you just disappear like that at such a young age?"Thinking of Curtis' death, as his best friend, Gabriel was heartbroken beyond measure.
Looking at the sleeping woman next to the baby, Curtis' tears started flowing again.Although he really wanted to reach out and hold her, wanted to call them his wife and son, the thought of the daughter he lost made it impossible for him to forgive himself.It was his fault that Lilac died. He didn't deserve to return to Margot's side or live happily with them as a family. If he couldn't find Lilac, he would never be at peace again.Suddenly, Louis seemed to sense his father's presence and began to throw a fuss, lifting his little hand.Seeing his son waking up and Margot about to wake up too, Curtis hurriedly left the room.As a result, when Margot woke up, she didn't see anything but focused on her son.Seeing him only grumbling a bit, Margot merely covered him with a small blanket and gently patted him to lull him back to sleep.Curtis, standing at the door, struggled to calm his emotions. Although he was reluctant, he silently left the house.He was too ashamed to come bac
The driver spoke apologetically, "Ms. Stone, the car won't move. Shall I call someone to come pick you up?"Margot glanced at the time. If she waited for the driver to send someone, it would take too long. She pushed open the car door and got out."No need, just call for a tow truck. I'll hail a cab up ahead.""I'm so sorry to trouble you, Ms. Stone. It's my fault for not checking the car before we left. I'm really sorry.""It's fine."Margot rarely scolded the people around her. It wasn't a big deal anyway. She went straight to the roadside and hailed a cab.It didn't take long before a taxi pulled up in front of her. Margot didn't notice there was someone inside as she opened the door and got in.Only after sitting down did she realize there was another passenger in the car.Curtis also didn't expect this taxi to pick up additional passengers. But when he saw who had entered, his pupils dilated and his heart painfully clenched. He stared at the petite woman sitting beside h
Curtis removed his mask and sunglasses, gazing at Margot with deep, worried eyes.Margot was trying to call her brother. However, she was quickly stopped by Curtis, who even took off his own mask and sunglasses.When she saw his face, she was momentarily stunned. This man, despite being thin, was incredibly handsome. She felt like she had seen him before. Something about him felt familiar to her.Yesterday, Curtis was hardly memorable with his casual attire. Today, however, he was dressed neatly, and he looked clean. Despite having lost a lot of weight, his natural good looks still exuded a sense of vigor. Margot couldn't help but associate him with the man she had seen at Crosby residence the day before.Seeing him still staring at her, Margot averted her gaze and pulled her hand away. She put her phone away and asked the man beside her, "Are you also working at Regal Enterprises?"At first, she thought he wasn't a good person. But after seeing his face, she thought he look
"I'll just wait here for him. He said he'll be here soon," Curtis politely declined her invitation.Margot noticed that the man was clearly not interested in talking to her, and she suddenly felt awkward. She smiled lightly and said, "Okay, then. I'll go ahead and leave."Curtis gazed at Margot as she walked away.She didn't look back at him and instead turned toward the company entrance.The taxi driver looked at Curtis with a sigh as he said, "You're really missing out. A beautiful woman just actively asked for your contact information. And she works at such a big company, it's clear she's got a lot of potential. It's a shame you've rejected her."Curtis still had his eyes on Margot as he watched her closely.It wasn't until she entered the company that he finally turned away, looking at the driver. "Let's go," he said.The driver was confused. "Aren't you alighting at Regal Enterprises as well?"Curtis replied, "I'm not going in now. Take me to the flower shop."He had gone
Benjamin had acted in three films within the past year, playing minor roles, and the audience had generally praised his performances. Now, he was acting in a scene where he played the role of the male lead's younger self. This was a challenging role that required a lot of crying scenes. Natalie was worried that he might become too emotional, so she was always by his side.Margot listened and suddenly felt interested. She had never seen Benjamin act on set before."I'll take your position," she said. "I want to go take a look.""You're not busy?" Natalie asked.Margot smiled. "I'm just going to visit your filming location and see how things are going. It's part of my work, after all."Regal Enterprises was also an investor in this film, so Margot was involved in the project.Natalie smiled and sent Margot the location details.Just as Margot was about to put her phone away, the office door opened again.Calvin walked in and said, "Margot, I'm going out for a bit. If anything c
Curtis knelt beside his daughter's grave, tears streaming down his face as he clutched the headstone. His daughter was only three years old. The memory of her accident flashed before his eyes, and his heart felt like it was being torn apart by a thousand ants.He, a healthy man, had almost lost his life jumping into the sea. Would his young daughter, who had been struck by a car and then fell into the sea with the exploding car, have survived? Could she have survived such a situation?Curtis knew he was lucky to have survived. But his daughter—she didn't stand a chance. Her small, defenseless body couldn't have possibly survived the injuries and the explosion.She might have left this world a year ago. Curtis couldn't accept the fact that his daughter was gone. He regretted not being there for her and cried uncontrollably.It was all his fault. He had delayed going to pick her up, and that delay had led to her accident. He should have been there for her, and now she was gone."S
Natalie hugged her son tightly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably."If Lilac knew how much you miss her, she might miss you, too. But once people are gone, they can't come back."Benjamin, be a good boy. Margot will be here soon. Let's not talk about Lilac in front of her, okay?"Tommy also walked over, reaching out to pick up Benjamin and wiping away his tears."Benjamin, control your emotions. Let's not think about Lilac for now. We still need to shoot a scene later."Benjamin looked at Tommy, still unable to stop sobbing."Uncle, will Uncle Curtis take good care of Lilac over there?"Tommy rubbed his head and comforted him, "Of course. They left together, after all. Curtis loves Lilac so much, he will definitely take good care of her.""I want to go see Lilac again."Benjamin pointed in the direction of Lilac's grave."Not now. Let's finish filming these two scenes first, okay? Besides, when Margot comes later, how sad do you think she'll be if she remembers Lil
