Brandon was smiling so maliciously, plus his words were kind of ambiguous.Margot's face was stern, and she felt like slapping him.Margot ignored him and stood up to look at Natalie. "Natalie, you go ahead with your work. I'll go see if Curtis is back yet.""Yeah, go ahead. When he comes back, remember to call us for dinner.""Got it."As Margot left, Sabrina shouted after her, "Aunt Margot, see you later!""Yeah, see you later."Margot left the house after taking her son from the nanny.Branden watched her leave before his face returned to its stern expression. He looked at the child beside him and said, "Get up and show me the homework I assigned to you."Sabrina didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly took out the books from her backpack, and handed them to her father.Branden took a glance at them before looking at the child and asking, "Do you like Margot?"Sabrina nodded. "Yes, Aunt Margot is super nice. When I'm with her, I'm very happy."Branden chuckled and look
Being with him made her feel secure, and her heart would beat faster as well. However, she really wasn't mentally prepared for marriage. She felt that they needed some more time together."If you think it's too soon, then wait until you're ready. But can we at least sign our papers first?"At least legally, Margot should be his lawful wife. However, Margot refused."Isn't marriage different from getting the papers done? I'm not ready to get married yet, so there's no rush to sign it. Hurry up and change into some clothes and come have dinner with Natalie."Margot didn't say much more and took Louis, and went to Natalie's house again.Curtis watched her leave and heard her refusal. He was quite disappointed, but he knew that Margot was always his so he didn't mind as much. He then quickly went into the house to change clothes.When he changed into casual clothes and arrived at Natalie's villa, he never expected to find another man inside. It was a man he had seen before, and
Curtis insisted by saying, "My parents are waiting for me at home to have dinner together. If I eat here and not at home later, they might overthink. You go ahead."Margot couldn't persuade him, so she went back to the dining room alone.Natalie noticed that Curtis didn't join them, and casually asked, "Why isn't Curtis joining us?""He said he's not hungry. Let's eat."The group then started to eat.Sabrina ate with relish, and considerately took some food for Margot."Aunt Margot, Aunt Natalie, please eat more. You've worked hard today.""Not at all, you should eat more too." Margot smiled and replied while taking some food for her as well.Sabrina murmured while eating, "If I have a mom like Benjamin, that would be great. Sabrina with a mother would definitely be very happy."The speaker meant no harm, but the listeners took it to heart when they heard her words.The eyes of several adults all fell on Sabrina. They could sense her strong desire for maternal love.After sp
Margot held Sabrina in her embrace and felt a surge of emotions."What is going on..."Natalie was completely bewildered. How did they end up discussing having a goddaughter during a meal? However, she noticed that her son, who was sitting across from her, seemed a bit off.He suddenly slammed the table, got up angrily without saying a word, and stormed out.Not only was Benjamin angry, but Curtis, sitting in the living room, was even more furious. He picked up his son and walked towards the door of the house while ignoring everyone in the dining room.The nanny hurried to follow.Natalie gestured to Margot. "Curtis left."Margot glanced toward the door and saw Curtis leaving quickly. She quickly pushed Sabrina away. "Sabrina, go ahead and eat. I'll be right back."Sabrina nodded. "Okay, Mommy, I'll wait for you to come back."Margot ran out as she knew that Curtis might be mad.Branden smiled lightly and shook his head as he gestured to Natalie."Ms. Nelson, let's e
He thought she was interested in Sabrina's father? Margot frowned as she genuinely did not understand why Curtis would make baseless accusations. She denied. "That's not true. I simply like that child. Curtis, can you stop overthinking things?""You simply like the child?" Curtis repeated her words coldly. "Get out of the car."He didn't want to judge others based on his own standards. However, he was feeling uneasy right now, and he couldn't continue to interact with all of them in a friendly manner.Margot felt a bit annoyed too when she noticed that Curtis did not trust her. She didn't want to explain too much either, and gestured to the nanny in the back seat. "Get off the car with Louis."The nanny had been with Margot all along, so of course, she obeyed her orders. Without hesitation, she got out of the car with Louis.Margot got out of the car as well. Curtis didn't stop them, and started the engine.Margot stood outside the car with a cold expression and asked,
Curtis' expression was melancholic as he leaned against the couch, and he spoke in a low voice. "Nothing much, just wanted you to accompany me.""What?" Gabriel frowned as he looked at him. "Did you quarrel with Margot? Or did something else happen?""I was thinking, it would be so much better if the one who died was me, and the one who came back was Lilac. That would be wonderful."If his daughter came back, he wouldn't feel guilty and remorseful every time he saw a child of her age. He also wouldn't allow Margot to have a goddaughter. Everything he endured today was created by his own hands. Hence, he had no right to blame others, let alone blame Margot.Gabriel knew that Curtis missed Lilac a lot. He put his hand on Curtis' shoulder and said, "I originally wanted to comfort you, but hearing you say that, I also remembered my poor daughter. Curt, we really are in the same boat."Curtis knew that Gabriel had also lost a daughter before. He reached out and patted him to ex
If Gabriel had visited the miracle doctor earlier, Camilla wouldn't have passed."So I'm thinking, could that miracle doctor be the one who saved me?" Thinking of this, Curtis also remembered the matter of the miracle doctor wanting his daughter to become his disciple. Originally, the miracle doctor insisted on taking his daughter as his disciple, but later he unexpectedly relented. Not only did he not ask for Curtis' daughter, but he also prescribed medicine for him, for Margot, and even cured Anthony's condition. He cured three people but didn't ask for a single penny or any benefits. Would there really be such a selfless person in the world?Seeing Curtis' strange expression, Gabriel was a little puzzled. "Do you think it could be the same person? You had your accident by the sea, while the miracle doctor is deep in the mountains. The directions don't match.""But I feel they should be the same person. I'll go find that miracle doctor first. If he isn't in the mountains
After finally falling asleep, Margot was awakened by her son. In the end, she had to comfort her son until dawn. When dawn broke, the nanny fed the child, and only then did he fall asleep again. However, Margot couldn't sleep anymore. She picked up her phone again and saw that there were still no calls or messages from Curtis, which made her angrier.……Early in the morning, Calvin rushed over to pick up Natalie and Benjamin to go to the film set. Since Calvin found out that his sister had also stayed here overnight, he went to the kitchen to make breakfast for them. Margot heard the movement downstairs as she thought it was Curtis.However, when she saw her eldest brother wearing an apron in the kitchen, she looked disappointed. Calvin saw her and smiled, beckoning her over. "Margot, you're up. Come and have breakfast."Margot walked over listlessly. Calvin looked at her unhappy face and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you seem troubled early in the morning?"Margot
