"Alright." A light blush appeared on Camilla's face, and she nodded. She was a serious person, and she would remember what he said. The uneasiness in her heart caused by that woman gradually dissipated.Jayden placed a gentle kiss on the back of her hand. …After dinner, the two of them returned to the Moore family.Camilla was surprised to find that the three children were missing."Where are the kids?" Camilla asked.Jayden hummed. "Tammy took them away. There's an event at the kindergarten that requires both parents and children to participate."Camilla nodded. It was still early. Since she won't be giving lessons to the children, she should contact Charlotte to discuss her studies instead. She took out her phone. Just as she was about to dial Charlotte's number, Jayden embraced her from behind. His pleasant scent completely enveloped her, and the servants all shared knowing smiles and left.Camilla's flushed bright red. "Jayden, what are you doing?"Jayden kissed her
Camilla's face darkened, and her hand by her side clenched slightly. "Why are you so stubborn? Are you planning to stop only after my death?"Josephine stared at her with a sinister look. "Why would I allow you to die? That would be a waste of your body and face." She waved her hand at the men around her. "Capture her and send her to the underground auction. She'll surely fetch a good price!"Camilla stepped back, scanning her surroundings for any potential weapons for self-defense. She picked up a wooden stick and cautiously waved it at the approaching men.Josephine sneered. "Your struggle is in vain. You should have listened to me and gave me the money when I told you to. After all, I'm your mother. I was the one who gave birth to you and raised you. You must repay me.""Is that so?" Camilla narrowed her eyes coldly. "Are you really my mother?"Josephine was taken aback by her question. A trace of panic flashed across her face, but she quickly composed herself. "Of course, I'm
Camilla's eyes glistened. "Thank you, but there's nothing you can do to help me."Scott nodded hesitantly. "I see. But this can't go on. What if they come for you again?"Camilla blinked. "I will find a way to solve it as soon as possible.""Alright." Scott sighed.A gentle night breeze swept by, and the two fell into silence. Camilla owed Scott big time. If it weren't for him, she would have been heading into a fate worse than death. She turned to Scott. "Have you eaten? Let me treat you to a late-night snack."Scott felt a bit embarrassed. "It's late. And you've just gone through a lot. You should head back and rest first. We can have a meal another day."Camilla insisted, "You said it yourself; I've been through a lot. I'm very tense right now. I need to find a way to calm down."Scott finally agreed. "Alright. I know a great pizza place. Let's go there.""Okay." Camilla nodded.…Inside the restaurant.The air was filled with a thick aroma of pizza.Camilla handed the
After finishing their late-night snack, Scott offered, "Let me send you home, Camila. My car is not far from here."Camilla shook her head. "No, thank you. I can manage on my own.""No." Scott's expression turned serious, "It's late. What if something happens again?"Camilla was taken aback. She gave Scott a complicated look before nodding. "Alright, thank you.""There's no need for that." Scott waved her off in embarrassment. He couldn't bring himself to meet Camilla's eyes. "Let's go.""Okay." Camilla nodded, and they both got up together. Indeed, it was already very late, and there were fewer cars on the road.Camilla took out her phone and sent a message to Jayden. "I'm heading back now. There's something I want to discuss with you."She didn't receive an immediate reply after the message was sent out. Camilla waited for a while, the bright screen from her phone illuminating her disappointment."Camilla." Scott's voice echoed from nearby.Camilla collected her thoughts and
Camilla took out her phone, intending to call him. All of a sudden, her gaze fell upon a notebook placed on the desk. That notebook looked familiar. She had seen it before in the half-open drawer—a diary.Camilla's hand halted. Suddenly, Scott's words flashed through her mind. Did she really know who Jayden was? No. She didn't know him that well. She had been aware of this from the very beginning. But now, Scott's words were constantly echoing in her ears, and a strange feeling seeped into her heart. She wanted to understand Jayden. And what was the fastest way to understand a person? It was by reading their diary. But that wasn't right. She shouldn't touch his belongings without his permission. However, her desire grew stronger. Camilla slowly approached the desk, eyes fixed on the diary. After a moment, she abruptly averted her gaze. She couldn't do it. She wanted to understand him, but there were other ways to go about it. Ways that didn't involve invading his
The next day, Camilla arrived at the dessert shop and saw Charlotte flipping through a document. When she saw Camilla, she handed the document to her. "Here, take a look at this. These are the courses I used to study."Camilla carefully flipped through it before asking, "How long does it take to learn all of this?"There were many courses listed inside, including body language, posture, flower arrangement, yoga, and wine tasting ...It was a mix of various courses, and it was a bit overwhelming.Charlotte smiled gently. "It depends on your learning ability. I learned them within six months."Six months ...Camilla's brows furrowed slightly, but she soon relaxed.Six months should be enough.She would learn all the essential skills of a wealthy wife and become even more outstanding. She would finally be worthy of Jayden, then.Charlotte observed Camilla's determined eyes, and her smile deepened. "You can start learning now. But you won't be able to continue with work."After c
Camilla smiled faintly and continued busying herself with her work. Kylie left after their lunch together. After finishing work in the afternoon, Camilla locked the shop and took out the materials. She read through the contents with a resolute look. "Hello, I would like to enroll in the flower arrangement course ..." Camilla called the number on the document. After a while, she hung up the phone with a slight smile on her face. The class time was from 4 pm. to 5.30 pm, lasting for an hour and a half. By 6 pm, she would arrive at the Moore manor and could begin her class with the children. The class would end at 8 pm, giving her time to learn other things. On the bus, Camilla wasted no time filling her timetable with activities. Just then, her phone vibrated. She took out her phone and saw a message from Jayden. "I noticed the dessert shop was closed. Where are you?"Camilla was surprised. Did he come to pick her up? Camilla's eyes flicked, and she quickly typed a reply. Ky
Jayden held her hand and whispered huskily, "So what's my reward?"Camilla flushed red at this, and she sent him a light-hearted glare. "What reward do you wish to have""I can have anything I want?" Jayden cocked an eyebrow in amusement.Camilla's senses tingled with excitement. "There are lines you can't cross.""Then set some boundaries for me," Jayden compromised.Camilla pondered for a moment. "Don't cross my bottom line. And don't request anything dumb.""Then I need to think this through." Jayden fell into deep thought.Camilla couldn't help but feel anxious. What kind of reward would he request? She hoped it wouldn't be something strange or difficult to fulfill."I've thought of something," Jayden suddenly said.Camilla grew nervous. "What is it?"Jayden leaned close to her ear and whispered softly, "It's nothing difficult. Just wear a piece of clothing for me."Clothing? That's all? That should be easy enough. Camilla nodded. "Okay, I agree."Jayden's smile g
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
