For the next two days, Curtis did not return home.Margot was alone in their room every day. She would also eat and go to school alone.Her finals were approaching. All the students were focused on revising for their exams. However, whenever Margot sat at her dorm's study table, thoughts about Curtis would flood her mind.She would think about what he was doing. She wondered if he treated Tammy the way he treated her when they were together.Margot also wondered if they had any physical contact.She questioned if Curtis had missed her at all—even if only for a brief moment.She didn't even hear her roommates talking to her."Hey Margot, what are you thinking about? Let's go. It's time to eat," Quinn shouted.Margot came back to her senses and looked at Quinn. She laughed dryly. "I'm not hungry. You guys can go ahead.""What's been going on with you for the past two days? You've been acting restless. It's as if you've just experienced heartbreak. Is everything alright?"Margot

Curtis did not want to recall the consequences of his impulsive actions when he was young.He looked at Margot. He hesitated slightly before changing the topic."Alright. Let's not talk about other people. Let's eat."Margot noticed Curtis did not want to talk about it, so she relented.She quietly lowered her head and ate while she tried to keep the bitter feeling in her stomach down.Tears brimmed in her eyes as she tried hard to not let the tears fall.Curtis did not touch his cutlery the whole time. He just sat and watched Margot eat.Margot looked up and noticed he was not eating. Her voice was slightly hoarse. "Curt, aren't you eating? You also seemed to have lost weight.""I'm not hungry."Margot was persistent in wanting to watch him eat. She put some food on his plate. "Curt, eat with me."Curtis reluctantly picked up his cutlery.After they ate, Margot asked, "So you won't be following me home tonight as you'll be accompanying her, right?""Yes." Curtis did not de

He had been helping her?Margot wiped away the tears on her cheeks and turned to look venomously at Curtis who was standing on the steps.She shouted furiously, "Do you need to hold her so tightly to help her? Do you need to kiss her?"Curt, she clearly has a place in your heart. No one will think you're an asshole if you admit that you like beautiful women. That's just how men are."You like her, or else you wouldn't have brought her back. This is our home—the home you bought for me. Did you think it would be exciting to have sex with another woman in our room?""Margot."Curtis cut her off sternly. "You don't have a good memory, do you? Since you like throwing tantrums so much, then leave. And if you leave, don't come back."He was mad, and the energy he was giving off was frightening.He had just helped Tammy because she was about to fall. How did it become a kiss?He was just creating trouble for himself if he stayed with such an unreasonable woman.Margot was so upset th

At the restaurant, Curtis ordered an entire table full of food that Margot liked.Seeing that Margot wasn't eating much and hadn't even touched some of the food, he asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is the food not to your taste?"Margot shook her head."Then, why are you eating so little?""I'll eat more fruit."Margot took the plate of fruit and began eating big mouthfuls.Curtis elegantly put a piece of steak in his mouth and swallowed. He looked at Margot, saying, "Will you come back with me after we eat?"Margot nodded obediently. "Okay.""Don't throw any more tantrums in the future.""Okay." She nodded again.As if she had suddenly thought about it, Margot looked at him and asked, "Curt, do you really not need me to have babies?"At this, Curtis looked at her. "You're still young and are currently studying. You don't need to have babies right now.""What if I'm already pregnant?" Margot blurted out.Curtis frowned. "Already pregnant?"Margot hurriedly shook her head a

Upon receiving the address of the bar, Margot immediately took a taxi to the location without thinking much.She found the private room Violet had mentioned and pushed the door open. "Margot, you're here."Margot nodded as she took out a gift she had brought from her bag.She handed it to Violet as she said, "Happy birthday."Looking at the gift, Violet hesitated for a moment.Then, she accepted it with a wry smile. "Thank you. Come, have a seat. I ordered some drinks. It's just the two of us today, and we're not leaving until we're drunk."Upon seeing several bottles of opened alcohol on the coffee table, Margot sat down and said, "I'm allergic to alcohol. I can't drink."Truth be told, she couldn't drink because she was pregnant.Violet's face changed as she asked, "How about non-alcoholic drinks?"Margot shook her head. "I'm allergic to food coloring as well. I'll just have water."As she reached for a bottle of mineral water on the coffee table, she noticed that the cap
