At this moment, everyone was around the dining table, and Tammy was going to feed Curtis. Curtis suddenly stood up, avoiding Tammy. He glanced at Margot, who kept her head down, seemingly unbothered. This somehow annoyed him. He poured himself a drink. Gabriel reminded, "I'll have at most half a glass. I need to accompany my wife to our old house to see the children later." Curtis didn't care. He poured wine for everyone. But when he reached Margot, he stopped, looked at her, and put the bottle away without filling her glass.Natalie asked, "Why didn't you pour for Margot? She's 20, she can drink, too."Natalie took the wine bottle and poured it for Margot, saying, "Margot, let's drink less. Celebrating my move here, we can always be together now." Margot nodded, deeply moved by Natalie's kindness. Everyone had a glass of wine in hand, standing around the dining table. Gabriel said, "Although there are two brothers who haven't arrived yet, let's not wait. Cheers to la
"I haven't done anything wrong. He kept saying I was at fault and ignored my explanations. And he hit me for someone else."After saying this, Margot simply finished the remaining glass of alcohol. She felt even dizzier and couldn't stand steadily after the drink. She plopped onto the chair, leaned into Natalie's arms, and started crying with a sense of grievance. Margot cried. "Natalie, it hurts. My butt hurts." Natalie quickly lifted her hand to hug her and looked suspiciously at Curtis. "What happened? Did you hurt her?"Curtis had always been taking care of Margot. Curtis also told her he treated Margot like a sister. So when Margot talked about being bullied, she was referring to Curtis for sure.If he really laid hands on her, Natalie won't forgive him. Curtis' face darkened, with his lips tightly pressed together. Seeing Margot crying like a fool in Natalie's arms, he felt uneasy, too. But he was Curtis. Why would he show his discontent in front of friends
Margot was drunk.After Curtis pulled her out of the Sawyers' villa, she sat on the ground, complaining and crying like a child. "Curtis, why are you so mean? I haven't eaten enough, and you dragged me out. I don't care. I still want to eat."She sobbed, "That steak smelled so good. I haven't eaten enough …"She cried while savoring the food, making funny and adorable expressions.Curtis looked at her with a cold gaze.Standing before her, he commanded, "Margot, get up.""I don't want to."Margot threw a tantrum, kicking her short legs as if she were going to roll on the ground. With a pouty expression, she pleaded, "I haven't eaten enough, Curtis. I still want to eat." She sniffled, ran over, and hugged his legs. Tilting her head back, she looked at him with teary eyes and whimpering."Curtis, can I have a bit more? Just a little. Margot won't drink this time, okay? Curtis is the best and loves me the most."Curtis, I'm really in pain. Can you give me a hug?"She bowed
"Let me tell you a secret, Curt. I'm pregnant with your child. I'm going to be a mom soon. Hahaha!"Curtis was rendered speechless.He couldn't help but think that Margot was dumb. She had drank so much despite not having a good alcohol tolerance. She didn't even know who she was after she got drunk.Just when Curtis was mad that she brought up the baby, she leaned in near his ear. "There's more, Curt. I gave our baby a name, Skylar Crosby. This way, we'll be reminded of our child when we look up to the sky."When Margot said that, she felt like something had hit her heart.She lifted her head to look at the newly descended night sky. When she couldn't see the blue sky anymore, her heart felt extremely painful. Drops of tears fell down her face uncontrollably. In the next second, she couldn't help but cry."It seems like my baby is gone. My baby doesn't want me anymore. Curt, I feel so painful. I miss my baby so much. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hid the fact that I had y
When Margot woke up the next day, she had a splitting headache.She slowly sat up from the bed. While massaging her painful head, she scanned her surroundings.This was her room. Weirdly, she was wearing the sexy sling pajamas that she loved wearing before.She would only wear it when she slept with Curtis.She stopped wearing it ever since Tammy appeared.Margot wondered what had happened last night that made her wear the sleepwear.After thinking for a while, she couldn't recall what had happened last night. Thus, she got up to wash up.Standing before the sink, she suddenly realized her lips were split and swollen. Someone seemed to have bitten it.She wondered who had bit it.When she recalled what happened at Natalie's gathering yesterday afternoon, Margot figured it had to do with a certain man.She quickly went downstairs after washing up and getting changed.Doris was cleaning up in the dining room. When she saw Margot, she said with a smile, "You're up, Ms. Stone. S
Margot smiled awkwardly when she heard that. "I don't know how to act. It's fine.""There's no need to be scared. I can teach you. You can also slowly learn if you enroll in those acting academies.""It's fine. I still need to work hard and earn money."After Margot repaid Curtis, she could divorce him and break free from such an oppressed and boring marriage.However, Tommy was still unwilling to give up."That's just right. You can earn a lot in the entertainment industry. If you're willing to follow me to star in a movie, you can earn at least one million for a few months of shooting a movie. "This is considering that you're the second or third female lead. You'll earn even more if you're the female lead."Although Tommy wasn't a popular celebrity, he was rich.Anyone popular or influential in the entertainment industry was somewhat connected to his family.With his connections, Margot could definitely have a chance to star in a movie.When Margot heard that she could ear
Margot felt her heart clenched in pain when she heard Curtis requesting for Tammy to come over and work with him.She endured that uncomfortable feeling and tried her best to remain calm.She then asked him, "When will we get our divorce certificate?"Margot would leave once Tammy came over.As for the money she owed Curtis, she would start her acting career by following Tommy. Margot believed she would soon be able to pay the one million dollars back as long as she worked hard enough.Margot didn't want to stay by Curtis' side any longer.She had enough of him!Curtis turned his head to look at the woman beside him.His tone was mocking as he said, "You're getting rid of me so soon? Even after the divorce, you'll never get rid of me, Margot!"Margot replied, "I only want to know when we are getting the divorce."She glared at him with reddened eyes. Her entire face was filled with rage.Curtis was about to lose his temper again but hesitated.It seemed like this was how Ma
Margot tried her best to calm herself down.It wasn't worth her time making a fuss with him.The more she made a fuss, the more it showed that she cared for Curtis. He would be even more unscrupulous.She should endure it no matter how it pained her to do so. She shouldn't show it on her face.Margot finally managed to suppress her rising emotions after repeatedly reminding herself.She turned to look at the man beside her and acted calm as she asked, "Sorry, I fell asleep in the car earlier. Do you need me for anything, Mr. Crosby?"Curtis was speechless.Mr. Crosby?Curtis squinted as he looked at how indifferent Margot was. He suddenly felt stuffy in his chest."What did you see earlier, Margot?" he asked despite knowing what had happened.Margot's eyes glistened. She almost couldn't hold her emotions in.She endured it and chuckled. "I saw everything. You and Ms. Vaughn really make an ideal couple, Mr. Crosby. You two are a perfect match."But … You should find somewher
