Margot chuckled, and her eyes glinted mischievously. "How can I not overthink it? I want to be your future wife. And with how well you're treating me, I might start thinking you want me as your wife too."Benjamin fell silent.He frowned. "You will never be Mrs. Inkling."Margot suddenly leaned in. "Maybe I won't be Mrs. Inkling. But what about being your future wife? Am I qualified for that role?"The two were now only inches apart. Her bright smile further enhanced her beautiful face, and her twinkling eyes added to her charms.Benjamin's heart skipped a beat. He put on a stern face, and his gaze grew cold and distant. "No."Margot's smile dropped, and she pouted in disappointment. "No?"She looked like a kicked puppy begging for affection.But Benjamin wouldn't change his stance. The Inkling family was very particular with their in-laws, only accepting business marriages. Margot was an orphan and would never gain the approval of the Inkling family. At least, not right no
Margot smiled. "Thanks for the suggestion. But, no, thank you."The idea of her attending school was something she found absurd. She didn't have time to wait until after her studies before she started her business. And she still needed to deal with Nammu Bay!Benjamin's split personality, the cursed bug, Benjamin dying in her arms ... she had to end everything before it even happened.Otherwise, history would repeat itself.Benjamin frowned at her. He wanted to ask what else Margot could possibly do except to focus on her studies. However, he suddenly recalled the uncanny maturity Margot had. She didn't act like an ordinary 18-year-old girl.Everything from her actions to the way she spoke screamed maturity. He couldn't help but think she was much older than she let on.But she looked so young and childish.Benjamin pursed his lips. "Suit yourself."With that, he walked straight to his study.Margot smiled and took a sip of her fruit juice before she went to pack her belon
"Welcome, Ms. Cooper," the middle-aged woman immediately put on a flattering smile when she saw Kayla. "Why didn't you come yesterday?" Kayla smiled gently. "I had some last-minute changes to my plans yesterday. Is Mr. Tiles here today?"The middle-aged woman nodded. "Yes, he's here. This way, please, Ms. Cooper."With that, she led Kayla inside.Margot was left on the sidelines.Margot narrowed her eyes and wondered why Kayla was there. Was she also interested in renting this house? But this had never happened in her previous life.Was it because she crossed paths with Kayla early in this life? If so, why didn't Kayla rent this house in her past life?Margot pondered over these questions. But only for a few seconds. She raised her hand to stop the middle-aged woman. "Hey, I'm also interested in renting this house. Are you not going to attend to me as well?"The middle-aged woman's smile dropped. "Young lady, there is no room for jokes here. Besides, I'm afraid you can't aff
"Mr. Tiles, Ms. Cooper is here. However, this girl has been causing her trouble. She doesn't listen to anything I say. I'm at my wits' end," the middle-aged woman complained as she approached the man.Kevin Tiles furrowed his brows at Kayla before his gaze landed on Margot. He huffed at the middle-aged woman. "You're useless. How can you fail at chasing away a powerless girl like her?"The middle-aged woman explained, "I was afraid of hurting her. Mr. Tiles, since you're here now, could you please talk to Ms. Cooper about the contract? In the meantime, I'll deal with this brat."With that, she positioned herself in front of Margot.Margot couldn't help but smile. She turned to Kevin and suddenly mused, "You have a habit of sleepwalking ..."Kevin rushed forward before she could finish her sentence and slapped a hand over her mouth. He gave her a stern look.Margot blinked up at him innocently.Kevin's expression darkened, and his chest heaved dramatically. He turned to the middl
How did Margot know about his condition? Kevin searched through his memory and realized he didn't know who the girl was at all."Who are you?" Kevin asked again.Margot extended her hand toward him. "Hello, Mr. Tiles. I'm Margot Zimmerman, and I'd like to rent the building. If you rent it to me, I will treat your sleepwalking habit."Margot repeated her words.Kevin narrowed his eyes. "Are you threatening me?"Margot shook her head. "No, I'm not. I'm just stating the benefits of renting the place to me."Kevin gave her a look of surprise. This girl only appeared to be about 18 years old. Yet her behavior and demeanor were far from that of a teenager.He was perplexed. "And how would you do that?" Kevin asked.Margot smiled. "I can't tell you right now. Once I've fixed things up here and we're ready to open, you can come to put my service to the test. I guarantee I'll help with your sleepwalking habit."Kevin couldn't help but chuckle at her words. "Young lady, are you using
"Tammy!"Margot almost burst into tears when she saw Tamara standing at the door. Memories of Tamara's hardships in her past life started flashing across Margot's mind. She had witnessed Tamara's transformation from a pitiful girl abandoned by her family to the cherished lover of Sebastian Lynch. Her growth, her journey through countless setbacks and hardships—Tamara had been through too many setbacks and pain.But the current Tamara was still as pure as snow. She still hadn't gone through the painful future. Margot was starting to regret her decision.Should she tell Tamara about the future?But even if she kept the truth from her now, Tamara would still experience them in the future.Tamara had already walked over, her gaze sparkling as she gestured with her hands. "Why are you here?"Margot's eyes watered, and she pulled Tamara into a hug.Tamara was surprised. But she still gently patted Margot's back, soothing her emotions.Margot waited until she could keep her emotio
Margot smiled bitterly at Tamara's expression. "Hard to believe, right? Actually, when I was first reborn, it was also difficult for me to accept. But that's the truth. "And I thought I should tell you. You'd faced many difficulties in your previous life. I don't want to see you go through the same hardships again."Tamara stared at Margot with a bewildered expression. After a while, she raised her hand and asked, "You're saying my mom will die in two years?""Yes." Margot nodded. She then proceeded to share everything she knew about the Moore and Gladwell families.Soon, two hours passed by in no time at all. Margot's throat felt dry after finishing her story, and she quickly drank some water. On the other hand, Tamara was completely in shock."Oh, and you're mute because of a poison your biological father gave you. I will help you find a doctor to cure it. His name is Austin Beaver. His father was the one who cured you," Margot suddenly mentioned.Tamara instinctively touche
As soon as Tamara saw Alex, she walked over and hugged the latter tightly. Margot stood on the side, watching uncomfortably.Alex gently stroked Tamara's back. "What's wrong, Tammy?"Tamara didn't respond. She held Alex like that for a while before finally letting go. "Mom, I'm hungry."Alex smiled helplessly at her daughter. "Then, let's eat. These are all your favorites."She turned her gaze toward Margot. "I'm not sure what you like to eat, so I made a few simple dishes. I hope you don't mind."Margot quickly shook her head. "Not a problem. I'm fine with anything. Besides, this is not simple at all. You've prepared a lot. Can I take the leftovers with me?"Her playful expression amused Alex."There's no need for that. You can come over anytime if you're craving some food. I'm more than willing to cook for you," Alex said gently.She was grateful that Margot was willing to be friends with Tamara. Due to Tamara's health, she had been confined at home since she was young and
