Subsequently, a psychologist informed him about a mysterious tea barista rumored to possess the ability to craft scented tea leaves with the power to induce sleep rapidly. If used for a long time, it could effectively relieve insomnia symptoms. They only knew that the tea barista was a woman. No one knew any specific information about her. Ewan was at a loss about what to do, as not even sleeping pills worked on his people until Alice arrived with Sebastian and Tamara. Ewan had never thought that this beautiful and fragile-looking girl was the legendary tea barista! He had tested her skills before. While she was formidable, she was not his match.And now, he bore witness to her scented tea leaves and saw how quickly they took effect on him. Based on her words, Ewan immediately confirmed that the girl in front of him was the tea barista.Tamara listened to what Ewan had to say with a calm expression. After he finished, she asked, “What does this have to do with me?”Ewan
Tamara did indeed return to her room to take a nap. She must have been exhausted from making all the scented tea leaves earlier that day.The test she did on Ewan exceeded her expectation.It was great!When Tamara woke up from her nap, she decided to take a walk outside. She made her way out of the castle, and not once did anyone try to stop her.She started to wonder if Ewan was telling the truth.Once outside the castle, she saw a car parked outside. The driver got down and greeted her. “Where would you like to go, Miss Moore? I can give you a lift.”Tamara grew silent. She swiftly got in the car. “Let’s go for a drive around town.”“Alright,” complied the driver.The car started, and they drove to the town area.The castle was not far from the town, and they arrived after a few minutes.Tamara observed the vibrant cityscape, where passersby strolled in small groups of two or three. The bustling scene was accompanied by the cheerful activity at the small stalls, which were
One after another, people came to Tamara asking for her help. Tamara felt helpless. But seeing those people tortured by insomnia, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for them. Regardless of what Ewan did, these residents were innocent.Tamara pondered for a moment. She then looked at the crowd. “Queue up. I’ll follow all of you back so you can sleep at home.” If the crowd were treated here, soon, a large group of people would be lying on the street. The scene would be indescribably eerie.“Okay, we’ll listen to your every word.” The crowd nodded and looked at Tamara with anticipation. Tamara looked at the person standing in front of her. “Where is your home?”“It’s nearby.” The person pointed to a house not far away. “It’s over there.”“Let’s go then.” Tamara nodded and went with the person. A strange scent lingered in the air, and the person quickly fell asleep after inhaling it. They gave Tamara a grateful glance before closing their eyes.Tamara came out of the house and
Tamara was suddenly pulled into Sebastian’s arms. She stumbled over her foot. Thankfully, Sebastian was there to catch her. Tamara slumped against Sebastian.She looked at him in surprise. “Sebastian? I thought you left? Why are you here?”Tamara tried to break free from Sebastian’s embrace, but he only held her even tighter. His hot breath fanned across her neck. Tamara could feel his panicked breath.Sebastian’s hoarse voice sounded, “How could I leave without you?”Tamara’s heart swelled. She smiled helplessly, “Didn’t Alice say she would send you away before coming to get me? Since you’re still here, we won’t be able to leave that easily.”Sebastian couldn’t help but laugh. He placed his palm on her back. “Tammy, why are you so silly? How can I possibly leave you alone with how naive you are?”Tamara looked at him in confusion, “What are you talking about?”Sebastian let her go. He suddenly noticed how pale Tamara was. He furrowed his brows and picked her up with a frown. “H
Inside the castle.The castle looked incredibly beautiful and dreamy under the night lights. The lights were lit. From afar, it looked as if one had entered a sacred palace.Sebastian carried the already sleeping Tamara out of the car. Alice got down after them. She took a glance at Tamara and whispered, “It’s already late. You should go back to your room first. You can inform the maids if you’re hungry. They will take you to the dining room.”Upon discovering who Tamara truly was, Alice’s attitude toward her underwent a drastic shift. Despite this, Sebastian still chose to ignore her and wordlessly carried Tamara inside the castle.When they arrived at Tamara’s room, Sebastian put her on the soft bed and looked at her tired face. He took a seat by the bed.Alice suddenly piped up, “You should go back to your room, Mr. Custry.”Sebastian’s cold and sharp gaze suddenly fell on Alice. His powerful aura swept over her like a tidal wave. Alice paled. “I’ll sleep here,” demanded S
Ewan clenched his fists tightly and struggled to restrain the itchiness on his body. The veins on his forehead popped, making him look even more terrifying! Alice saw how much her brother was suffering and said in a softened tone, “Brother dearest, it’s meaningless for us to go at each other’s throat. Let’s stick to the plan. However, I feel that Sebastian is starting to suspect me. We need to dispel their suspicions as soon as possible.”Ewan closed his eyes abruptly and opened them again after a moment. His eyes were bloodshot. “Stick to the original plan. Tell them that only one person can leave. Let them decide for themselves.”“Okay.” Alice nodded and left Ewan’s room.Her face bore no semblance of innocence; it exhibited a chilling, cold expression.From the beginning, she had shown goodwill towards Tamara and begged the woman not to bring any harm to her or her family. This was all part of her plan with Ewan!The first thing they needed to do was dispel their suspicion.
Tamara looked like a cat enjoying a nice sunbathing. Sebastian observed her closely and felt the corners of his lips curl up into a tender and doting smile. “Are you full?”Tamara nodded, “Yes, I am full.”“Then it’s my turn,” Sebastian put down his fork and carried Tamara towards the bed.“Hey, wait, not now...” Tamara was startled. She looked at his fiery eyes and instantly understood what was happening. She struggled against him. “But I just finished eating...”“It’s a good time to exercise.” Sebastian gently kissed her forehead.Tamara was stunned. But as she recalled their recent incidents, she did remember not being able to finish the last time they were together. Tamara relaxed against her man.Night fell.The luxurious castle was brightly lit. Inside the room, the air was thick with the sounds of pleasure and longing. The two lovers intertwined with each other, their bodies ebbing and flowing like the tide against the shore.Moonlight filtered in, casting a faint silver
With a peculiar smile adorning her face, Tamara calmly uttered, seemingly eager to see what other lies Alice could come up with.Alice was startled by Tamara’s words. She quickly waved her hands. “That’s not it. I don’t have any other intentions. I just don’t want to take the risk. I apologize for my rudeness, Mrs. Custry. How about this? You can make any request of me, and I will try my best to fulfill them.”Alice looked extremely apologetic as she said this.Tamara looked at her in surprise. “Any request?”Alice was stunned. “As long as it is within my powers, I will fulfill them.”“Then take us out of here.” Tamara was blunt.Alice grew silent. She then muttered apologetically, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Custry. I can’t do that.”Tamara sneered, “You can’t even do such a simple task. What other request could you possibly fulfill? Don’t you think you’re being too hypocritical?”Alice’s face fell. “The only reason we can’t let you leave is that many people in the city still suffer from
The bed was also adorned in striking white. Margot's bridal gown gradually slipped off, and her hair spread out behind her on the bed. Her smooth skin shone beneath the dazzling light.Benjamin stared at her. "Margot, you have to spend the rest of your life making up for your lies.""Okay," Margot agreed without hesitation.The temperature in the room rose, and the night had just begun.It was as Tamara said. Because of their tragic past, the heavens decided to bless them in this life. They lived happily ever after from that day onward.Benjamin successfully inherited the Inkling Corporation. A year later, Margot gave birth to a daughter. She resembled Benjamin and was as beautiful as a doll.Their little girl grew up in a loving family, and the love between Margot and Benjamin only grew with time. They developed Nammu Bay, transforming it into a popular tourist destination.Another year passed, and Tamara and Sebastian got married. The wedding was almost identical to the one fr
The newlywed walked into the wedding hall hand in hand.The wedding hall was also well-decorated. Shane, Trevor, Jacob, and Alex sat in the front row.The host congratulated the couple, and after the couple exchanged rings, the crowd erupted in cheers. The wedding went past quickly. And when Margot was led to her bridal room, she was still very much in a daze.Because of Margot's condition, she had to leave early and let Benjamin deal with the guests alone.As time passed, Margot grew more and more anxious. But she didn't dare move a muscle. Benjamin had told her to keep the veil on and wait for him.Margot had never been this obedient before. But she had no choice. Disobeying wouldn't do. What if her husband ran away?Just then, the door opened. Margot's heart tightened, and she immediately went tense in anticipation.A faint stench of alcohol wafted over, and she saw his shoes from under the veil.He was standing before her but made no move to greet her.Margot couldn't help
When the others saw Benjamin standing still in a daze, they all asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why did he stop?""What is he thinking about?""Did he lose his mind because he was too excited to meet his bride?"Someone made a joke, and others burst into laughter.Downstairs, Sebastian exchanged looks with Tamara, who was upstairs. His gaze returned to Benjamin.The wedding had been going on smoothly. But it seemed that Benjamin's memories might be their biggest challenge.Now that Benjamin had recovered his memories, what would he do next?However, Benjamin quickly came back to his senses. He walked forward calmly until he reached the door. As his gaze swept over Tamara and Natasha, a small smile appeared on his face.Tamara piped up, "Mr. Inkling, Nat and I had planned to set up some challenges for you. However, considering the hardships you and Margot have gone through, those challenges seem trivial in front of you. So, I thought, why not give you a clear path that led
"Shit! Isn't that too ruthless?""Leave it to the four Moore brothers to pull this trick!""Stop standing around and start drinking!"Benjamin watched on without any change in expression. He turned to the last row of men and smiled. "I'll leave the first round to you."Those men were all eager to try. They rolled up their sleeves and loosened their ties, their eyes gleaming with excitement.Benjamin made room for them, and they eagerly stepped forward. They picked up the glasses and downed them in one gulp."Let's go!" The cheers that erupted motivated them further. But despite their fierce drinking, they were no match for the abundant alcohol. When they looked up, they found that they were only halfway through. Some of them were already feeling tipsy!Sunlight spilled onto the drinks. A gentle breeze caused ripples on the liquid, resembling scattered stars.The men noticed the entrance was within arm's reach, and they gritted their teeth to endure the torture.Harris was th
The morning sunlight bathed the earth, casting a brilliant glow on every corner of Simmons Residence. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles. In the room, the styling team was already in position. They first helped Margot into the wedding gown and began styling her hair.Although Margot never decided on her bridal makeup, she did try each style. To surprise her, Benjamin accompanied her to try out the bridal makeup but kept the final choice from her.Now, dressed in the beautiful wedding gown, Margot remembered the makeup styles she had tried before, and a smile graced her face. Tamara and Natasha also changed into their bridesmaid dresses. The makeup artist was working on them when Alex walked in with a gentle smile. "Have you done your preparation for the challenges?"Tamara gave a thumbs up. "Don't worry, Mom. I won't let them take your daughter away easily."Alex giggled. "That won't do. We have to see if Margot agrees."Margot immediately exclaimed, "I'm all in favor!"
"You're right!" Tamara exclaimed, and the three women chatted for a while before gradually falling asleep.In the Inkling Manor, lights were on, and a festive atmosphere filled every corner. Wealthy young men who knew Benjamin gathered there, celebrating the night.A few people sat on the couch by the pool. There were various drinks on the table. Jack picked up a bottle and praised, "This is a good wine. It's at least 30 years old! You're going all out, Mr. Inkling."Benjamin's face carried a contented smile. "It's my big day, so let's all have a good time together."Jack gave him a thumbs up. "You're very generous, Mr. Inkling."The others laughed along.Benjamin turned to Sebastian and suddenly smiled. "Why are you so calm? When we go over tomorrow, I wonder what challenges Tamara has for you."Sebastian calmly muttered, "She'll only cause trouble for you."Benjamin cocked an eyebrow. "You're quite confident. I can't wait to see you eat your words tomorrow."Sebastian shrugg
Margot responded, "Yes, but I believe he will recover his memory soon."Joseph chuckled. "It doesn't matter if he does recover his memory. He loves you either way."A sweet smile appeared on Margot's face.He was right. Benjamin loved her with or without his memories. Nothing could ever change that.Joseph gazed at Margot for a while before shifting his gaze away. He turned to the night sky outside. "It seems that tonight will be a special one."Margot looked at him. "Do you have any plans for the future, Joseph?"Joseph smiled. "I will work for Moore Corporation. After all, I'm the only one in our family who studied business."Margot's eyes flickered. Joseph's life was still the same as in her past life. He would still manage Moore Corporation while the other brothers shine in their respective fields."That's great! I'll have a powerful backer now. I can just mention your name if someone bullies me. As the cousin of the Moore Corporation's president, no one would dare lay thei
Margot reached out to touch the wedding gown, feeling the expensive fabric. Every stitch and thread carried Benjamin's love for her. She looked up at Tamara. "I'm scared, Tammy."Tamara seemed to know what she was afraid of and hugged her close. "Don't be. This is real. It's really happening.Tears welled up in Margot's eyes. Tamara understood her the best. She feared this was just a dream, an illusion she would wake up from. There was no rebirth, cat-and-mouse games, or Nammu Bay destruction. Everything was just a trick her mind had made up.After all this time, Margot finally felt fear.She held onto Tamara tightly. Even when tears streamed down, Margot didn't dare to blink, afraid that she would return to a cold room if she did, a world without him.Tamara gently stroked her back. "Hold me tight, Margot. I'm real. You've felt the wedding dress. That's real, too. Nothing is an illusion. It was all real."Margot finally calmed down. She suddenly felt embarrassed. "Sorry about
"I do! I do want to be your daughter," Margot hurriedly exclaimed. She looked flustered. "I was just a bit overwhelmed. I never expected this. Aunt Alex, I …"Tamara laughed. "Since you're now her daughter, why aren't you referring to her as your mom?"Margot felt even more embarrassed!She grew up in an orphanage and had little concept of parental love. Although she had fantasized about having a mother like Tamara's, it was just a dream. She didn't have a mother. That was why she felt close to Alex. With Alex officially adopting Margot as her daughter, Margot gained a mother from that point onward.Margot's eyes watered. No matter how hard she tried to hold it in, she couldn't stop the tears from falling.Seeing this, Alex quickly took out tissues to wipe them away. "Don't cry. You'll get wrinkles if you cry."But the comforting words only made it worse.Margot threw herself into Alex's arms.Alex comforted Margot patiently, her eyes also glossing over.However, Jacob fr
