"Hey, sweetie. What's wrong?" Tamara cooed, noticing Caleb's solemn expression.Caleb told Tamara about what just happened.Tamara paused and smiled helplessly. "I understand. Don't worry about this. Just focus on your studies."Thomas immediately snatched the phone and asked seriously, "Mommy, are you really not going to intervene?""And how do you plan to handle it?" Tamara smiled at him. "You are caught in the middle. One is my brother, while the other is Daddy's brother. Whose side are you on?"Thomas froze. After a while, he asked, "Then, who does Mommy support?""Of course, I naturally support my brother," Tamara said without hesitation. "But, I won't interfere in this anymore. I've done everything I could. It's up to Jayden to win your tutor over."Thomas sighed. "What a mess." "Alright, let's not worry about this anymore. Focus on your studies. It's almost the weekend. I'll come to check your homework then," Tamara said.Thomas pouted and grumbled inwardly, "Fine."…
A gentle breeze brushed against Camilla's face, scattering her thoughts. Her heart quickened its pace as her gaze fell upon Jayden's handsome and tender countenance. At that moment, she found herself at a loss for words, unsure of how to react.He had never been like this before.She was both surprised and startled by his sudden change. She was even tempted to give him a chance."It's alright. Take your time," Jayden said as he looked at her dazed expression, a slight smile playing on his lips. He didn't show any sign of anger. Instead, he tried to soothe her emotions.Camilla pursed her lips and remained silent.The two of them took a walk in the park for a while. But soon, the sun became scorching, and they returned to the ward. Camilla sat on the couch, looking through the job applications on her phone.Now that she was no longer Simon's assistant, she had to find a new job. At the very least, she wanted to start working immediately after Jayden was discharged from the hos
"I'm going out for a bit to see my brother," Camilla informed Jayden."Sure, go ahead." Jayden nodded.Something flashed across Jayden's eyes. He took note of Camilla's unusual emotions but didn't comment on it. He realized he had no place in her affairs now.Camilla said, "Call me if you need anything.""Okay." Jayden hummed in agreement. Jayden watched her leave the ward before he took out his phone. He called a number. "I need all the information on Camilla, including her recent activities and contacts. And by everything, I mean everything."… In Nathan's ward.The frail boy lay on the bed. His face lit up with an innocent smile when he saw Camilla approaching. "You're here, Camilla.""Yes." Camilla nodded. She glanced briefly at the nurse, who promptly stepped away, giving them privacy. She pulled up a chair and sat by the bedside."Did something happen? You seem unhappy," Nathan keenly sensed something was off about Camilla and spoke in a tender voice tinted with con
Jayden's eyes darkened as he watched her face turn crimson. "Is it too much to ask? I just want you to put me to bed. I swear I won't do anything else," Jayden teased her mischievously. "Stop that," Camilla said shyly. Jayden's gaze turned greedy because it was rare for her to act like this. Nonetheless, he suppressed his emotions and smiled. "Alright, I'll stop."Camilla heaved a sigh of relief. The next second, she heard him say, "I'm wide awake now because of you. How are you going to make it up to me?"She was speechless. She couldn't help but think to herself, "Seriously? Is he not going to let this go?" Camilla felt her cheeks burning as she met Jayden's gaze, finding it hard to maintain eye contact. "Just bear with it. You can simply go back to sleep," she stuttered."You're cruel," Jayden chuckled in a low voice. His response rendered her completely speechless. In any case, it was impossible for her to put him to bed. She ignored him and sat on the sofa.Jayden stared a
Jayden chuckled softly. "I'm unsure of this. The perfect answer would be love at first sight, but I don't want to lie to you." Camilla was stunned as this wasn't the answer she was expecting. Her eyes flickered, but she remained silent and allowed him to continue. He then continued with a gentle voice, saying, "I'm not sure when it happened, but when I'm with you, I feel happy. I love staying by your side." Camilla didn't know what to say. Jayden's gaze fell on her, but he couldn't make out her expression as the ward was pitch black. "Camilla, I'll only grow fonder of you …" His soothing voice reached her ear, making her once calm heart start to race. She liked the sound of that."Camilla?" Jayden called out when he received no response.To evade the situation, Camilla closed her eyes and feigned sleep, pretending she had dozed off."Why can't we be together? There are no serious hindrances between us after all." Jayden sighed. Camilla's eyelashes trembled. She thought she cou
Camilla blushed. She took his phone to have a look and was amazed to find that his photography skills were so good!Jayden coincidentally snapped an eye-catching shot of her with the light breeze gently lifting her hair and skirt. Camilla smiled and returned the phone to him. "Send the photo to me later." Jayden raised his brows and looked at her. "What for?""You took a great photo," Camilla said.Jayden chuckled and looked at her dotingly. "If you like it, I can take more photos of you." Camilla blushed even more. The atmosphere instantly turned flirtatious.At this moment, Ms. Thompson called out to them. "Mr. Moore, Ms. West, the meal is served." "Coming," Camilla responded immediately before heading back to the villa.Jayden looked at her silhouette and noticed that her face had turned crimson. Things were not utterly hopeless after all. …After the meal, Jayden arranged for the driver to send Camilla to the interview venue. As for himself, he stayed home to recupera
Camilla closed her eyes and repeated in an even colder voice, "Where are you now?"Josephine sneered and said, "What's the matter? Do you want to teach me a lesson? Don't forget that I'm your mother. I will ruin your reputation if you dare to go against me!"Camilla gripped her phone tightly. Her tone became bone-chilling. "For the last time, where are you now?"Josephine could tell that Camilla was angry, and her confidence decreased. However, she still said stubbornly, "Since you dared to stop me from getting rich, I'll repay the favor by making you jobless. We can perish together!" She hung up immediately after that.Camilla closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. Suddenly, she had a revelation. Josephine had mentioned that she'd stopped her from getting rich, but what means could she have for that? The only way Josephine could get rich was through gambling. What exactly did she mean?A car stopped by her side as she was deep in thought. "Camilla," Simon's voice rang ou
Camilla ended the conversation and hung up the phone.As time passed, the sun began to set, painting the horizon with an orange glow. Camilla's eyes remained fixed on the ground, her face devoid of any expression.After a while, she decided to make a call."Hello, Camilla," Kylie's voice came through. Camilla muttered, "I need your help with something."Kylie hummed and asked, "What is it?"Camilla sighed. "Let's meet up. Where are you now? I'll come to you.""Okay. I'm at home," Kylie chirped.… In a high-end apartment.Camilla sat on the couch and explained her situation to Kylie. She pleaded, "I just need a few men from you to ensure my safety."Kylie nodded. "That's not a problem. Do you want me to accompany you?"Camilla shook her head. "There's no need. With your people protecting me, I'm sure nothing bad will happen."Kylie hummed affirmatively. "Call me when you're done.""Okay." Camilla nodded and waited as Kylie called in her men. Once the men were gathered, s
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
