As Royce came closer, Margot quickly said, "I'll go back myself. You stay here."She refused to be around the Morris family and equally desired to avoid Royce's advances when Zyla was present. With Lilac in her arms, Margot hurried off."I'll see you off, Margot." Calvin hurriedly followed her.Royce's attempt to follow Margot was swiftly halted by Zyla after he had taken only a few paces."Royce, I'm still here. Can't you see me? Even you don't want me anymore, huh?"Royce stopped in his tracks and flung away Zyla's hand without hesitating.He turned around and looked at her coldly."Zyla, I'll clarify things with you, especially since Mrs. Morris is here. I've never loved you. The person I love has always been Margot."I fell in love with her in Amberville while in university, so I want to call off our engagement. I won't ever marry you."Then, he turned to Regina and said, "Mrs. Morris, it's fate that I met Margot. I hope you can call off my engagement with Zyla so that I c

Not wanting Lilac to go hungry, Curtis quickly started cooking.After his previous experience and because Calvin had also taught him many techniques, Curtis was much better at cooking now.Margot stayed with Lilac in the living room, occasionally stealing glances at Curtis in the kitchen. Each time her gaze returned to him, she felt an unexplainable flutter in her heart, though she couldn't discern the reason behind it.After all that had happened, why did she still have feelings for him when she was with him?Why did she allow him to stay with her instead of hating him after he seriously injured Anthony?Would she never be able to leave him for the rest of her life because of Lilac?With no answers to any of the questions, she felt lost. As she turned her gaze away, uncertainty clouded her mind, leaving her unsure of what steps to take next.Curtis quickly finished cooking. With only three people at home, he prepared just three dishes. After setting up the table, he called out

Curtis knew that Margot had misunderstood, so he hurriedly approached her. "Margot, it's not what you think. I—""Do you think I'm deaf? I heard what you said with my own ears. Can I still be wrong about you?"Margot interrupted him and looked into his eyes. Her gaze was cold and distant, devoid of any warmth.She was indeed too naÏve. She was too kind to this man.Just yesterday, she had been considering whether to get back together with him for the sake of Lilac. Yet this morning, she heard him say he wanted to push her toward Royce.How could he do such a thing? Was he even human? What did he take her for?Margot felt a sharp pain in her heart as if it were being pricked by a needle.Realizing his mistake, Curtis raised his hand and slapped himself hard twice."You didn't wrong me. It's my fault for saying something I shouldn't have said. I deserve it."After slapping himself in the face, he approached Margot again."But Margot, I didn't mean to push you away. I just…"Ma

Margot explained, "I'm not that busy. I've delegated all the tasks to the staff. I just have to check on the ingredients and negotiate with business partners every now and then."As Margot's store was popular among internet celebrities, business was booming, and the restaurant was always packed with customers.It was now 4:00 pm, and the dinner crowd was starting. "I think you've made the right decision in opening this store. Your business is always good every day. Actually, I came here to tell you something," Natalie said.Margot's eyes lit up with anticipation. "What is it?""I'm also planning to move back here. The two of us can buy two adjacent houses like before. How about it?"Margot was somewhat surprised. "Really? So, will we be able to spend every day together like we used to?""Of course. I've already found the houses. I'll take you there to have a look later, okay?""Okay."Margot's expression turned serious when she thought of something. She asked, "Aren't you afr

"Gabriel." Before Gabriel could finish his words, Curtis interrupted him and glared at him coldly. "Shut up! Have you forgotten what I said?"He had instructed Gabriel to keep it a secret, but as soon as Natalie showed up, Gabriel couldn't control his tongue.Did Gabriel even consider Curtis as his friend? Gabriel couldn't even fulfill such a simple request.Gabriel glanced at Curtis and reluctantly chose to remain silent when he realized that Curtis was vehemently trying to stop the conversation."What's wrong with the both of you?" Natalie looked at Gabriel and gestured for him to continue. "What's wrong with Curtis?""It's none of your business."Curtis interrupted Natalie. "Are you here just to seek justice for Margot? You've cursed at me and vented your anger. If you have nothing else to say, leave."He knew that if Natalie found out, she would go and tell Margot. He didn't want Margot to be upset because of him.Natalie didn't leave. She completely disregarded Curtis and
