Curtis remained silent as he carried Margot on his back as they walked through the darkness of the night. She also chose to remain silent.Perhaps it was dark, and there were strange sounds everywhere. It was so dark that they couldn't see their fingers, which made her feel a bit scared. Her face pressed tighter against his head.After walking for a while, Curtis finally asked, "Since you're here, what about Lilac? Did you take her to the Crosby residence?""No," Margot replied.When she heard him start a discussion with her, she quickly perked up."I brought her here, but you were so fierce to me and even told me to leave. I was thinking if I went down the mountain to see our daughter and she asked about her father, I wouldn't be able to explain it to her."Curtis suddenly became unhappy again, his tone turning cold."You brought her here too? Why did you bring her? If both of you come up, what about Lilac?""You're scolding me again," Margot complained, feeling unhappy with h
Natalie got a buzzing sensation in her mind. In the dim light, she stared blankly at his distinct facial features.Her throat seemed to be choked as she was unable to speak. A sourness inexplicably spread in her chest.Fortunately, it was dark. Otherwise, her concerned expression would undoubtedly be visible to Calvin. That would be so embarrassing for her. At this moment, she was truly grateful that he had spoken to her in the darkness. At the very least, it provided her with the space to express her concerns."Natalie, I'm sorry!"Calvin knew Natalie would be upset, but all he could say to her was apologize. He also felt uncomfortable. She didn't know that they had met when they were children. She was also unaware that he had placed her in his heart a long time ago.It was so difficult to get her, but he had to let her go. Only heaven knew how painful it was for him to do this. But he had no choice.He was the eldest brother and had to carry out his responsibilities. After a wh
"Margie, I've thought about it carefully. Natalie and I are indeed not suitable. She has been married and has children. Our parents won't allow me to marry her. But Lena is different."Despite growing up in the mountains, she is hardworking, kind-hearted, and skilled. If I marry a girl like her, the Morris family will benefit greatly."The implication was that he preferred his interests more than doing it for Margot and his brother."You're lying."Margot was somewhat agitated, grabbing him and shouting, "Calvin, you promised me before that you would treat Natalie well! Please don't do this."Let's go back to the hospital and find the doctor again. I don't believe that all the doctors in the world can't cure Curtis and Anthony. Come on, let's go home together."She pulled Calvin, intending to drag him away. But he remained unmoved. Curtis stepped forward to stop her actions."Margot, listen to him."Margot refused, turning to Curtis and shouting, "If I listen to him, then what
Knowing that Margot hadn't eaten anything, Natalie offered her a skewer of ribs that her brother had grilled."Eat something. It's quite chilly here at night. Hurry up. We'll have a bonfire later."When Margot saw Natalie force a grin, she stopped talking about it and took the ribs, slowly nibbling on them.Tommy brought over a plate of vegetables and called Curtis, who was holding Lilac on the side."Curtis, come over and eat.""Okay."He agreed and sat down beside Margot, holding his daughter. With sufficient light here, Lilac finally saw what her father looked like.She pouted and touched his stubble, innocently asking, "Daddy, why do you look so ugly now? You're so tanned. Your beard pokes my hand."Curtis felt inexplicably sad as he heard Lilac's comments. He glanced at Margot beside him. Seeing that she didn't care about him, he turned to his daughter and asked, "Does my appearance disappoint you?""No, I think you look cool. I like you like this."To prevent her father
Margot raised her head. "No one could have expected things to develop like this.""I think there's still hope."Margot was puzzled by Tommy's response.Tommy met her gaze and asked, "What do you think of me?""You're great.""How great?""You cook well, you're handsome, and you're young.""So, if I manage to win Lena's heart, will everything be solved?"Since they needed that miracle doctor's help, and he had to have Lena marry Calvin, why not intervene? Wouldn't everything be resolved if Lena fell for Tommy instead?"Tommy, what are you saying? You don't even like her.""Who says I don't like her? Although I haven't met her, she seems like an interesting person based on what you said, and I like interesting people."Most people around him were already in relationships, and he hadn't met anyone he liked yet.If he could do something meaningful now, wouldn't Margot, Curtis, and Calvin all be grateful to him?He also wanted to see if that amazing miracle doctor could foresee
Tommy seemed to want to meet Lena as soon as possible. He changed into a sharp outfit in the RV and tidied up the gifts they were going to bring to Lena.When he got out of the RV, he told Natalie, "I'll be up the mountain with Calvin for a while. We probably won't come back to rest later. You guys be careful. Curtis, take care of the kids."With Lilac and Margot here, Curtis indeed couldn't leave them alone tonight. He would have to stay behind to watch over them."Okay. You go ahead."As Tommy left, he couldn't help but take another look at Natalie. Seeing her gaze fixed on the darkness not far away, he knew she still cared a lot about Calvin.For Natalie's happiness, as well as for Curtis and Margot, he had a long way to go. This time, he must achieve his goal.Approaching Margot, Tommy took the flashlight from her and said, "Don't worry, leave everything to me. We'll be going now.""Okay, be safe."It wasn't until Calvin left with Tommy that Margot withdrew her gaze and wal
Inside the RV at the foot of the mountain, Natalie slept in a bit in the morning since she couldn't sleep all night.Seeing the two children sleeping soundly beside her, Margot didn't disturb them and got up early to prepare breakfast.To her surprise, as soon as she got out of the RV, she saw Curtis already starting a fire not far away. She went over to help.Curtis greeted her as she approached, "Why are you up already? It's still early.""I wanted to see if you had left."Margot squatted down beside him. Although the sun was barely up, she could see Curtis' face clearly.He seemed to have shaved off his stubble with Tommy's razor, and now his appearance had improved again. His skin was a little tanned, and his handsome and charismatic features were striking."I'll be going up the mountain later, but before I leave, I'll help you prepare the food."Curtis was still indifferent and didn't even look at Margot when he spoke.As Margot washed up, she asked, "Will you come back d
"How did he know we were here? Is he here for Natalie?"This was bad. With Gabriel appearing at a time like this, Calvin, who was already in a dangerous position, would be even more at risk, wouldn't he?Curtis went to meet him. "Why did you come here?"Gabriel slammed the car door and looked at him. "You've got the nerve to ask. Why didn't you tell me you were coming here?"He scanned the surroundings and then asked casually, "Where's Nat?""She's still sleeping in the RV.""Then let her sleep for now. Are you two making breakfast? I can help you."In order to have a legitimate reason to stay, he volunteered to help with everything. This was a rare opportunity. He must take advantage of it to resolve the conflict with his son and have a good talk with Natalie.Margot sneaked into the RV. Seeing that the children and Natalie were still asleep, she gently patted Natalie and whispered, "Natalie…"Natalie was a light sleeper. She wouldn't have still been in bed at 6:00 am if she
