After confirming that everything was fine, he took Louis from the nanny's arms and carried him into the room.Curtis gently called out when he saw Natalie was still there. "You go ahead and take care of your things, I'll stay and keep Margot company."Natalie stood up, moved closer to him, and whispered, "But she isn't in good shape. Can you handle it on your own?"Curtis looked at Margot on the bed, who was holding Sabrina and softly humming a lullaby to put her to sleep, and felt a heart-wrenching pain.He adjusted his emotions and nodded. "Yes.""Alright, remember to call me if anything comes up."Knowing that Margot shouldn't be surrounded by too many people, Natalie thought it would be best for her to leave, especially with Curtis around.She looked at Margot with a heavy heart, who seemed dazed, and turned to leave.Curtis sat down at the bedside while holding Louis, and tried to soothe Margot, who was still hugging Sabrina tightly."Margot, look, Louis really needs you.
Curtis didn't expect Branden to pick Sabrina up so quickly.In the past, he would have been eager for Branden to take Sabrina home.But what would happen to Margot if Sabrina left now?Curtis sat down beside him and said in a serious tone, "Aren't you quite busy? Margot usually has nothing to do, so why not let Sabrina stay with us? We can arrange for a nearby kindergarten, and Margot can take care of her daily drop-offs and pick-ups."Branden looked at Curtis, chuckled lightly, and said, "Are you hinting that you can't bear to see me take my daughter away?""My wife likes her very much and doesn't want her to leave."Curtis was making a determined effort.Even though he didn't like the child's father, for Margot's sake, he had no choice.Branden leaned against the sofa, his long legs casually crossed while he watched Curtis with a playful smile."She's my daughter, after all. I can't just leave her here forever, can I? I have to take her home eventually."When Curtis noticed
Curtis noticed that she seemed a bit reluctant to face reality, so he decided to be straightforward."Sabrina's father is here to pick her up. Should we let her go with him?"Margot remained silent.Branden's father?Sabrina...In a daze, Margot snapped back to reality and swiftly grabbed Curtis."So you're saying the person inside isn't Lilac? She's Sabrina, not my daughter?"Curtis was worried that she might get too emotional, so he quickly raised his hand to hold onto her arms and nodded in agreement."Yeah. She's not Lilac.""How can it be? But I feel like she is Lilac. Curtis, are you sure she's not her?"Curtis tightly embraced her."MArgot, she's really not Lilac. We haven't found Lilac yet, but I've already sent people to search in many places. Once we find her, we'll bring her back."Hearing Curtis's confirmation once again, Margot finally came to terms with reality.She clearly remembered that Sabrina was Branden's daughter.She felt bad for Sabrina, so she took
After Sabrina and Branden left, Curtis quickly went upstairs.When he arrived at the door, he saw the nanny holding Louis. "I told you to stay with her, didn't I?"The nanny said, "She mentioned she wanted some time alone to calm down, so she asked me to take the baby out. So, here I am."Curtis still couldn't stop worrying about Margot, so he asked the nanny to leave first as he walked into the room.Lying on her side, Margot was curled up in bed and biting her fingers tightly as she tried hard to recall every little detail about her daughter.But she couldn't remember anything.If she didn't look at the photo Curtis gave her, she wouldn't even know what her daughter looked like.She felt that she was not worthy of being a mother.She was crying because she was worried her daughter would suffer while being away.Curtis walked to the bedside and saw Margot's body trembling. Feeling distressed, he reached out to touch her and gently comforted her."Don't be sad, Lilac will com
"You're five weeks into your pregnancy. Since your health isn't the best, you must watch out for …"Margot Stone didn't hear what the doctor said afterward. All she heard was that she was pregnant.She was pregnant …She couldn't believe she was having his baby.Didn't this mean that their contract marriage would now turn into a real one?Margot was over the moon. She remembered that he was returning from his business trip tonight, so she grabbed her pregnancy report and dashed home excitedly.As the sun set and the sky began drizzling, Margot returned home completely drenched.As soon as she entered the house, her housekeeper, Doris, rushed over with a towel to dry off Margot's hair."Oh, look at you! You'll catch a cold at this rate! Hurry upstairs and take a warm bath."Still, Margot kept beaming from ear to ear.She bent over to change her shoes. That was when she saw a pair of well-polished leather shoes on top of the shoe cabinet.Pleasantly surprised, Margot spun arou
Margot knew Curtis had given her a lot, and she shouldn't cling to him.However, she was pregnant with his child, so she must think for her child as well."Are you trying to start a fight, Margot?" Curtis' scowl deepened.Standing beside the bed, he looked down at Margot but didn't explain why he was marrying the other woman.Margot didn't want to anger him, but she couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.Working hard to keep her emotions in check, she replied, "I just want to know if you'll stop talking to that woman if I have a baby with you."She was giving him a chance.Curtis pressed his lips together, displeased. Without hesitation, he said, "We will still be getting divorced, just not now. Don't worry. You can have anything you want when we get divorced."Hearing this, Margot shut her eyes as hot tears rolled down her cheeks.Her heart throbbing, she threw herself across the bed, unable to stop her cries any longer.Curtis watched her sob, and his heart began to ache
Margot clung to Curtis as she kissed him passionately and resentfully.No normal man would be able to resist such temptation, including Curtis. He wrapped his arm around her and began kissing her back.He tossed the divorce papers into the table drawer with his other hand before lifting Margot. They slowly made their way upstairs, their kiss never stopping.The journey was easy due to how light Margo was.It was only when he placed her on their bed that Margot realized she shouldn't be doing this in case their actions might hurt her baby.So, when Curtis leaned closer to her, she quickly pressed a hand against his chest.Curtis, having lost all reason, was insistent on kissing her.Margot knew what the kiss would lead to, so she frantically stopped the man. "Stop! I'm not feeling too well, so why don't we stop here?""Too late," Curtis groaned hoarsely. He was about to carry on, but Margot hurriedly pushed him away and curled into a ball at one end of the bed.Curtis was confu
Margot was puzzled. Who could it be?Curiously, she headed toward the campus gates where she was greeted by a middle-aged man.The man greeted her politely, "This way, please, Ms. Stone."Margot followed the man to a car waiting by the roadside. The man opened the door, and Margot spotted a well-dressed lady sitting inside.Margot didn't know who the woman was, so she remained standing and on guard.The woman in the car said, "Come in. I'll take you out to lunch."Margot didn't respond, so the other woman continued, "I'm Tammy Vaughn. I don't know if Curt has ever mentioned me."Tammy …Margot recalled seeing this name on Curtis' phone and realized this was the woman he was going to marry.Immediately, Margot was filled with animosity against the woman. She snapped, "What are you here for?"From her seat, Tammy regarded Margot patronizingly. "I just wanted to chat about Curt. Why? Are you afraid of me?""Afraid of you, a shameless mistress?"There was no way Margot was scar
