Jayden smirked. "Sweetheart, we're married. Why are you still so shy?"Camilla paused. "There should still be some mystique surrounding our relationship. What if I get bored of you?""Will you?" Jayden stared at her. His slender fingers slowly undid his shirt buttons. One by one, his flawless skin slowly came into view.Camilla fell silent.Jayden's body wasn't porcelain white. Although it was fair, it looked toned. All his muscles were hidden under his clothing, giving him a lean look.Camilla hummed.It seemed like she would never get bored of this.Seeing Camilla's gaze, Jayden's smile widened. He leaned in and whispered, "I don't think I'll ever get tired of you."Camilla gritted her teeth.She promptly shut her phone. She was done with the conversation!How did she never realize how flirtatious Jayden was?Camilla's face was bright red as she dried her hair. But she quickly got back to her senses. Why should she back down?She turned on her phone again and was greeted
Jayden took out his phone. He glanced at the screen and ended the call swiftly.He gazed tenderly at Camilla. "I'll be back as soon as possible."Camilla nodded, shifting her gaze away from his phone. "You don't need to worry about me. My parents are taking care of me.""Okay," Jayden nodded. He turned to Jackie and Jenna. "Uncle Jackie, Aunt Jenna, please take care of Camilla.""What are you talking about? Camilla is our daughter. It's only natural that we take care of her," Jenna immediately chirped.Jackie sneered, "She's our daughter. We don't need you to instruct us on what to do."Jayden fell silent.Just then, a car pulled over. Tamara, Jonathan, and Cheryl rushed over to Camilla.Cheryl asked with concern, "Camilla, are you okay?"Camilla didn't expect them to come. "Mom, Dad, you don't need to worry. I'm fine."Tamara informed her, "Uncle Jon and Aunt Cheryl rushed over as soon as they learned about your situation. They were even nagging about how irresponsible Jay
"Me and your dad are your strongest supporters." Jenna smiled.Camilla's heart warmed, but her thoughts were in turmoil. She didn't want things to get complicated. But what now?It seemed like the situation had gotten worse....At the Bass Manor. The group entered the house. On the way there, Jonathan and Cheryl learned about the situation from Jayden. Cheryl had already arranged for gifts to be sent over. They were caught off guard when they met Camilla's parents. Since they didn't show proper etiquette earlier, they planned to make up for it later.Camilla followed the doctor's advice and took the medicine before going to her room to rest. She closed the bedroom door and looked at Jayden. She couldn't help but laugh. "How about it? Have you ever experienced such a situation before?""I'm experiencing it right now." Jayden sighed helplessly. He brought Camilla to the bed and observed her. "How are you feeling? Any discomfort?"Camilla sighed weakly. "I only took th
Jackie's face darkened, but he didn't argue. Instead, he coldly stared down Jonathan. Jonathan remained unbothered. However, the atmosphere in the living room grew tense.Cheryl looked at Jonathan. She didn't know what he was thinking. Jenna glanced at Jackie. "I'll check up on Camilla. The medicine should have taken effect by now.""I'll go with you," Cheryl immediately offered.Jenna nodded, and the two of them went upstairs together. Tamara's eyes flickered, and she also stood up. "I'll go check on Camilla too."In an instant, only Jackie and Jonathan remained in the living room.Jackie suddenly chuckled. "Mr. Moore, what would you like to talk about?"Jonathan's gaze turned cold. "Jackie, you were fast to escape before I could get any evidence to use against you. But I haven't forgotten about that. Do you remember your good friend, Elijah Morrison?"Jackie's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean by that? We're not young anymore. Are you trying to bring up old grievances?"
The group waited at the bathroom door. Tamara felt weird as she remembered the blood on Jayden's hand. Fortunately, Jayden and Camilla soon came out. Camilla's face was pale, and she looked weak. Jayden carried her to the bed."How do you feel, Camilla?" Jenna immediately approached her.Camilla weakly replied, "Mom, I'm fine. I'll rest for a bit and go to the hospital."Jenna nodded. Cheryl turned to Jayden. When she noticed his eyes set on Camilla, she felt relieved. "Thank goodness your attention is on Camilla. Otherwise, I would disown you."Jayden sighed weakly. "Mom, Camilla is my wife. Of course, my attention is on her."Camilla smiled faintly. "Let's go to the hospital.""Okay." Jayden picked her up and left.Tamara stared at Jayden's retreating figure but didn't immediately follow them. Instead, she went into the bathroom. The toilet was clean, and a black bag was in the trash can. Tamara approached, wanting to check it. Just then, a maid entered."Miss, I'
Jayden gave Tanya a cold look before he walked past her and got into the car. He drove away without sparing another glance at Tanya.Tanya's smile grew strained. Her hands clenched into fists, and her gaze fell on the hospital. Nearby, a person discreetly kept their phone. They studied the photo they had just taken and smiled with satisfaction....Camilla soon fell asleep. When she woke up, Jenna and Cheryl were in the hospital room. Both of them remained silent, seemingly afraid of disturbing her."Mom ..." Camilla called out."Yes?" The two women responded simultaneously.Cheryl and Jenna exchanged a smile and approached the bed."What's wrong, Camilla? Are you hungry?" Jenna asked gently.Camilla blinked. "A little.""Then let's get you something to eat." Cheryl walked to the foot of the bed and adjusted the bed.Jenna set up the small table and brought over a lunchbox. She smiled. "You woke up just when the food arrived. Are you a glutton?"Camilla felt embarrasse
Camilla took out her phone and saw it was a call from Charlotte. She hesitated for a moment before deciding to answer it. "Hello, Charlotte.""Camilla, I saw you at the hospital. Are you sick?" Charlotte's gentle voice came through the phone.Camilla replied, "Just feeling a little under the weather. I'm fine. Thank you for your concern.""I'm already at the hospital. Which ward are you in? I wasn't sure that I saw you earlier. I'll visit you," Charlotte still spoke gently.Camilla blinked and reluctantly gave her the ward number.After hanging up the phone, she furrowed her eyebrows and thought, "What a coincidence."Camilla knew how busy Charlotte was, perhaps even more than anyone else. She had personally followed Charlotte around and seen how busy she could be.How did Charlotte find time to come to the hospital? Was she also sick?"Camilla, do you have a friend coming?" Jenna asked when she noticed Camilla deep in thought."Yes, I used to work at a dessert shop, and she
After watching Charlotte leave, Camilla withdrew her gaze. She wasn't naive. She was just in a bit of turmoil in the past. Now, people kept popping up around her. First, there was Tanya, and now Charlotte. How could everything be just a coincidence?Charlotte had added oil to the fire when Camilla was having a fight with Jayden.Although she didn't bluntly tell Camilla to leave Jayden, each word hinted at creating distance between them.Camilla looked at her phone. Her screensaver was a photo of her and Jayden together. He was staring at her. Even through the screen, his adoration for her was still evident.She appreciated Charlotte. But that was where she drew the line."Camilla, did your friend leave already?" asked Jenna when she returned."She had some urgent matters and had to leave first," Camilla said.Having made herself clear, Charlotte probably wouldn't come to her again, so there was no need to reveal everything.Jenna nodded. "I see. I'll wash these frui
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
