Camilla paused. She wasn't expecting Jayden to say that. Were they really like an ordinary couple?Camilla swept her gaze across the restaurant. Indeed, several couples sat at other tables, chatting and smiling happily.Camilla turned back to Jayden. "So, you long for this kind of life?""Yes." Jayden nodded.Camilla hummed in acknowledgment. "The Moore family won't object if you choose this kind of life, right?"Jayden sighed helplessly. "But I still need to make a living, right? How else will I support the family? I don't want to rely on others."So, he chose to establish a research institute. It even became one of the world's top research institutions.Camilla felt speechless. She seemed to have misunderstood his notion of an ordinary couple. It appeared different from her understanding.She giggled. "Then, once you're better, we can return to an ordinary life. I'll let you experience what true simplicity is."Jayden nodded. "Alright."The aroma of food filled the air. C
Nathan stared at Camilla and understood what she wanted to say. He averted his gaze and nodded. "I understand."Camilla smiled and stood up. "Well, it's getting quite late. You should rest, and I need to go home too.""Alright." Nathan nodded again and watched her leave the ward.Camilla gently closed the door behind her. Thinking about Nathan's disappointment, she grew concerned. However, Jayden was right. She couldn't let Nathan become overly dependent on her. At 14 years old, he was already a teenager with mature thoughts and sensitivity. He needed to explore the outside world and interact with more people. Fortunately, his health was improving, and he would be discharged in a few days. Jayden's condition was also headed in a positive direction. Thinking of these things, a sense of relief washed over Camilla. Everything was moving in a good direction.Returning to Jayden's ward, she saw him staring at his watch. He looked like he would rush over and drag her back when the
Camilla pondered for a moment. "I can help you come up with a solution. I just need to make sure she doesn't appear in front of you, right?"Simon suddenly chuckled. "Marriage seems to have made your boundaries more defined."Camilla nodded. "I've grown weary of all the misunderstandings."Simon chuckled. "Alright, as long as you achieve the goal."Camilla breathed a sigh of relief. "You can revert to your former ways. With your long history of ex-girlfriends and countless ex-fiancées, going back to your old self might deter Kylie."Simon cocked a brow. "That's not a bad idea."Camilla looked at him. "So, can you give me the cursed bug now?"Simon shook his head. "You have to wait until I succeed. I'll personally bring the bug to you once I do."With that, he got up and left.Camilla fell silent.She furrowed her brows. She didn't understand what Simon was up to.Simon had already left the café, but Camilla wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, she quietly finished her coffee
Jayden and Nathan were sitting on the couch inside the manor's living room. Jenna was having a pleasant chat with them."Jayden, how are you doing? Will you be discharged soon?" Jenna's voice was gentle and carried a hint of concern.Jayden responded warmly, "Thank you for your concern, Mom. I'm fine now. It's just that Camilla was worried and asked me to stay a few more days."Jenna nodded. "That's a good decision. It's better to recover first before leaving the hospital. It will save a lot of worries.""You're right." Jayden nodded.Camilla walked in and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you all here?"Both Jayden and Nathan turned their gaze toward her. They both looked calm, but their eyes held an indescribable resentment."How could we not join you when you're having a family dinner at home?" Jayden stood up and walked toward her. He bent down to peck her cheek.Camilla was embarrassed and playfully pushed him away. "Mom's watching us."Jenna chuckled. "I'll go to the kitch
Camilla immediately shook her head. "I have been eating properly, Dad. I'm just naturally slim.""Nonsense!" Jackie's frown deepened. "Neither your mom nor I are slim. How could you possibly be naturally slim? You must not have been eating properly. From now on, you'll come home for meals. Even if you don't, I'll have someone deliver food to you. That's final!"Camilla wanted to refuse, but Jackie had already made up his mind. He wasn't going to allow her to decline.Jayden held her hand. "Just listen to Dad. It's for your own good."Camilla could only nod in agreement. "Fine. I'll message you whenever I have a craving for something."Jackie nodded in satisfaction. "That's the spirit. Let's eat!"The family sat around the dining table and began to enjoy their meal.Jackie's culinary skills were exceptional. Every dish he made was perfect. They were so delicious that one would want to savor every last bite.Camilla had a good appetite today. She even asked for extras. Jenna and
"I'm fine," Nathan replied calmly, his gaze fixed on the outside.It was pitch-black outside, whereas the inside of the car was dimly lit. As such, it was difficult to discern Nathan's expression.Camilla was about to say something, but Jayden stopped her.Camilla saw him shaking his head, indicating that she shouldn't speak right now.Camilla bit back her words and glanced at Nathan with concern.Nathan was sensitive. She wondered what he was thinking at the moment. As a boy, having such sensitive thoughts wasn't necessarily a good thing.The car continued its way back to the hospital. After Camilla escorted the two back to their room, she planned to talk to Nathan.However, Jayden stopped her once again. "Don't talk to him about it now.""Why?" Camilla looked puzzled.Jayden spoke gently, "He's caught in a loop of negative thoughts. If you try to persuade him now, he might feel that you've sided with me."Camilla paused. "That can't be, right?"Jayden replied, "I'm a man
"Okay," Kylie whimpered.After ending the call, Camilla instructed the maids to prepare some snacks and fruits. She knew Kylie would probably want to have some.About half an hour later, the sound of a car engine roared at the villa's entrance. Before the car's engine even stopped, Kylie's wailing cries reached her ears.Camilla's brows twitched, and she hurried out to meet her. As soon as she stepped outside, Kylie rushed into her arms."Camilla, Simon is such a scumbag! I knew he was a playboy all along! But I thought he'd change after meeting you! It turns out I was too naive!" Kylie cried, painting Simon as a villain with her words.Camilla patiently listened to Kylie as she guided her into the living room. She led Kylie to the couch and allowed her to continue her rant. After a while, Kylie's tears gradually subsided."Do you want some ice cream?" Camilla picked up an ice cream cone and offered it to her."Yes, please," Kylie sniffled. She took the ice cream and took a big
Kylie pouted and continued, "I really like Simon. But he's a stupid player. I've decided not to like him anymore."Camilla nodded indifferently. "I agree."Kylie suddenly turned to her. "Camilla, do you think Simon still likes you?"Camilla paused. She observed Kylie closely before admitting, "I don't know, and I don't care."Kylie squished the pillow she was holding, looking utterly disappointed. She didn't speak again after that. Instead, she only hugged the pillow closer and wept to herself.Camilla sighed. She knew how Kylie felt. Falling out of love wasn't that easy.Just then, Camilla's phone buzzed. Brandon had arrived. She got up and brought Brandon inside.When he saw the dazed Kylie on the couch, Brandon scolded her irritably, "Get a grip!"Camilla muttered, "Kylie is very emotional right now. Don't take anything she says to heart.""I know." Brandon kept his eyes on Kylie. He gently nudged her. "Kylie, do you want to play some games together?"Kylie's eyes flicke
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
