Benjamin nodded.Curtis looked at Margot and said, "Wait for me. I'll be back after I put him to sleep.""Go ahead."Margot took her son from the nanny's arms, and the more she thought about it, the happier she felt for Natalie and Calvin.Now that the proposal was successful, they could start planning the wedding.This was great.Margot suddenly thought of something, and dialed her mother's number.Regina picked up the phone, and she said, "Mom, are you asleep?"Regina sighed and said, "How could I sleep? Today, your Dad mentioned Calvin again. He said he had arranged a marriage for him and that he should hurry back to Emeria to meet the bride."Margot immediately asked, "Didn't you tell Dad that Calvin has a partner?""Partner? You mean Gabriel? Can I even say that to your Dad? He will surely give your brother a hard time.""Ahem, I know, I had a good talk with Calvin today, and he promised me."Regina was a bit surprised. "What did you say? He agreed to it? How did you t
"Let's go and give Louis a bath.""Okay."They entered the bathroom. Curtis personally undressed their son, while Margot crouched by the edge of the bathtub to run the bathwater.The water was ready, and Louis' clothes were off as well.Curtis carefully placed Louis into the bathtub, one hand supporting him while the other gently washed his soft body.Margot squatted nearby watching, and couldn't help but think about her daughter again.She wondered if she had bathed her daughter in the same way when her daughter was as young as her son was now.Did her daughter cry when Margot was giving her a bath?Would she be as rambunctious as Louis, constantly splashing around with his legs, causing water to spray everywhere, and babbling noisily non-stop?She was a girl, so she probably wouldn't be as troublesome as a boy, right?Margot wondered how my daughter was doing out there.Would she ever be able to see her daughter again in this lifetime?The more Margot thought about it, th
The next day,vCalvin came early to pick up Margot and her son back home.Curtis was heading out to work at the company, along with a few others.Upon returning to the estate, Margot pretended to inform her mother once again about Calvin's upcoming marriage.Regina pretended not to know that the marriage was a sham. She maintained her proud demeanor, sitting regally in her high seat while looking at her eldest son with a stern expression and asked, "Are you really sure you want to marry the daughter from the Nelson family?"Calvin acted as if he was extremely reluctant."Yes, if you are forcing me to get married, I would only marry Natalie."Regina tried even harder to put on a convincing act."This is still better than you being with some guy every day. Fine, since you’re going to marry her, I'll go over to the Nelson family on your behalf tomorrow."Looking at Margot, Regina asked her, "Margot, you've lived in Amberville for many years. Do you know if there are any customs or
"You have no idea, Calvin has already had his eyes on a woman here for a long time. Since they're going to get married soon, how much are you planning to give as a wedding gift?"Let's not be too frugal; I don't want my precious daughter to feel embarrassed. The other person is a good friend of Margot's."Frederick laughed heartily. "Hahaha, alright then, for the sake of my precious daughter, I'll offer fifty billion. If Margot isn't satisfied, you can add more. Or let the bride's side set their own conditions. Whatever they ask for, I'll meet them twice over.After getting her husband's approval, Regina hung up the phone and looked at her astonished daughter beside her."You heard it, right? Your dad is willing to put up five billion, and I'll add another one and a half billion. That's quite a lot. As for the jewelry, we'll prepare that separately."Margot was stunned.It felt like so much money.Why did she suddenly become so envious of Natalie?Margot asked with interest, "M
Margot ignored Branden and walked straight past him into the house.Upon entering, she saw a child standing on a stool, busy cooking in the kitchen.Margot felt deeply distressed and hurried over."Sabrina."Sabrina saw her godmother coming and wanted to jump off the stool to greet her.Seeing the look in her father's eyes, she quickly contained her excitement, stood on the stool, and shouted toward Margot. "Mommy.""You're too young to do these things; let's not do them. How about I take you out to eat?"Sabrina couldn't help but glance again at her father, who was not far away. Seeing how stern and fierce he looked, she quickly shook her head at Margot."It's okay, Mommy. You haven't had lunch either, right? You and Dad can go sit over there and chat. I'll have lunch ready in no time."She spoke, then turned around and continued working at the stove.Margot couldn't bear to let a five-year-old child cook.She carried her down and walked toward Yunbo."You're an adult man
"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
