"I can't go back with you right now," Camilla said apologetically. "There are some things I need to take care of first. Once I've sorted them out, I'll come and live with you."Jenna immediately asked, "Is it complicated? Do you need my help?"Camilla shook her head. "No, not for now. I'll reach out to you if I need help in the future."Jenna nodded. "Yes, you should come to us."Jackie handed her a card. "Camilla, this is your pocket money. Ask us for more if it's not enough."Camilla froze, feeling moved by their gestures. This couple was just like her. After being separated for so many years, she didn't know how to express herself properly. But they instantly gave her everything they could offer."Thank you, Dad." Camilla accepted the card and put it in her bag without refusing.Jackie suddenly stood up excitedly. "What did you call me?"Tears welled up in Jenna's eyes. "My child, I ... I ..."Camilla turned towards her and called out, "Mom."In an instant, both of the
Jayden's smile remained gentle, but his gaze had hardened. Camilla was taken aback. For a moment, she was reminded of the times when there was tension regarding the million dollars between them.Her voice softened as she spoke to Jayden, her words laced with disbelief, "Jayden, are you ordering me around?" Jayden caressed her cheeks gently. "I just suddenly feel that you are being a bit disobedient. You are my wife, and you're pregnant. Your well-being is my top priority.""Disobedient?" His words reverberated within her thoughts.What did he take her for? Why did she need to be obedient?Desolation overcame her, and she struggled to calm her emotions. "Jayden, if you wanted a submissive woman, Tanya would have been a good choice. Why did you marry me?"Now, she was doubting why he married her in the first place.However, Jayden continued to stare at her indifferently. "Because you love me, Camilla, and that's enough.""Let go of me." Camilla suddenly pushed him away. "If I
Jayden's expression froze. He spoke calmly, "It's okay. If you can fall in love once, you can fall in love again."Camilla closed her eyes. "I will think about the wedding, but I don't like any of these plans you've come up with.""Alright." Jayden didn't force her. Instead, he gazed at her. "Don't go out for the next few days. Stay at home and think about the wedding. It will be good if you can make up your mind this week."Camilla's jaw dropped in shock. "What do you mean? You won't let me go out?"Jayden smiled tenderly. "I just want to quickly arrange for the wedding."Camilla's heart pounded, and she felt uneasy. She struggled and got up from his lap. "Jayden, you can't do this. You are restricting my freedom."Jayden casually pushed his glasses up, his gaze remaining gentle. "Camilla, I just want to get the wedding done quickly."Camilla turned pale. After a while, she mumbled, "Jayden, you can't restrict my freedom."With that, she turned and left the study.Jayden's sm
Scott's reply was swift. "Alright, no problem."He sent another message. "Camilla, do you still plan to be with Mr. Moore?"Camilla replied, "I love him."Scott wrote back, "I see. Contact me if you need anything."...After ending the chat, Camilla put her phone away and looked up at the dark sky. Her heart seemed to sink deeper and deeper into an abyss. The chilling night breeze brushed against her. Even though it was summer, she couldn't fend off the coldness that enveloped her from within."Mrs. Moore, it's getting cold. Let's go back in," the butler said from behind her.Camilla, however, walked towards the pool. Dim lights shone against it, and the water looked tranquil. Taking a seat on a nearby chair, she fixated her gaze on the stillness of the water, hoping that its tranquility could somehow transfer to her own unsettled emotions.The butler observed her figure and suddenly felt uneasy. He approached hesitantly. "Mrs. Moore ...""I want some quiet time. Can I not e
"Be obedient? How do you expect me to be obedient? Should I just come at your beck and call like some dog? Am I supposed to do whatever you say without expressing my own opinions?" Camilla exploded.She sneered at him. "Jayden, I am a living, breathing person. Most of all, I am your wife. You shouldn't keep any secrets from me or lie to me, not even with white lies. I won't forgive you even after I've learned about the truth because the damage has been done!"Her voice thundered with anger as she unleashed her pent-up frustration, letting her emotions spill forth.She had been trying hard not to overthink it, but he was pushing her too far. Not only did he not explain anything to her, he also restricted her freedom. What was next? Would he imprison her?She couldn't bear to dwell on the thought any longer. The overwhelming urge to escape engulfed her. She wanted to escape from the very place she had longed to live in. Jayden gazed deeply at her. Her lips trembled slightly due to
Tamara Turned to Jayden. Since she was on speakerphone, he could hear George too. She asked, "Master, is there any way to prevent these attacks?"George replied slowly, "Avoid emotional triggers. Emotional agitation leads to accelerated blood circulation, which, in turn, triggers the attacks. For now, it's best to avoid anything that might emotionally agitate her." Tamara fell silent, but she didn't ask any further. "Alright, I'll call you if there's anything else.""Okay," George hummed and ended the call.Tamara stared at Jayden, hesitating before speaking. "Jayden, when you were dating Camilla, uh ... besides arguing, did she ever feel uncomfortable when her emotions ran wild?"Jayden shook his head. "No, this is the first time."Tamara furrowed her brows. "Then our hypothesis of emotional agitation is not a good one. It seems that only agitation from arguments triggers the attacks. I have a thought—when females get angry, a special hormone is secreted in their bodies. I wond
Tamara's expression turned blank. She glanced at Jayden with worry. "Is it really necessary? Can't we keep the child?"The doctor sighed. "Her condition is a rare one. The safest option is to abort the child. I can't be sure of the next attack's severity. It's very likely that neither the adult nor the child will make it."With that, the doctor left.Just then, the nurse wheeled the bed out. Camilla was still unconscious. Jayden immediately went over and carefully observed her. He furrowed his brows at her pale complexion."Let's go back to the ward," Tamara suggested.The group went to the ward together.After the nurse left, Jayden stood by Camilla's bed, closely watching her unconscious state."What should we do now, Jayden? Should we tell her about this?" Tamara didn't know what to do. Would Camilla go insane if they told her about the child?Previously, Jayden had kept the truth from her. Yet he was about to tell her a nerve-wracking secret. Nobody could predict the co
Jayden swallowed hard. He didn't know if he should tell her the truth.Tamara was standing not far from them. She couldn't bear it any longer and stepped forward. "Camilla, you need to prepare yourself. Don't let your emotions get out of control. You have to stay calm if you want to keep your child.""What do you mean?" Camilla tilted her head in confusion.Tamara took out her phone and showed Camilla the medical records George had given her earlier.Camilla took the phone and read through it. Her brows furrowed. "What … does this mean?""It means that you have a rare disease. The reason you fainted is likely due to hormonal imbalances, causing an allergic reaction. Jayden's experiment is aimed at finding a cure for this disease. He only kept Tanya around because she served as a living blood bag."Tamara said all this in one breath. She then gave Camilla a helpless look. "I've been paying close attention to the conflicts between you two. Jayden doesn't dislike you, nor is he inte
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
