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
The atmosphere in the dining room suddenly eased. Margot breathed a sigh of relief. Alex gently reassured, "Margot, please sit and eat with us.""Yes, of course." Margot nodded and sat back down.She turned around and noticed that Tamara had lowered her gaze, looking visibly upset. Margot held Tamara's hand and smiled at her. Tamara's spirits lifted, and she continued eating.After the meal, Tamara grabbed Margot's hand and walked away, not even sparing a glance at Jacob's displeased face.Back in the room, Margot sighed. "I never met him in my previous life. I didn't expect him to be this domineering. He doesn't seem like a pushover. Why would he commit suicide in the first place?"Tamara glanced at her and signed, "You said my father is Elijah Gladwell from Clacton? That he had poisoned me and was even trying to kill me.""That's correct. He's a terrible person!" Margot nodded. "You once told me that if given a choice, you'd rather have Jacob as your father. Not only did he
Tamara giggled.Margot continued, "You're already very skilled, so let's not dwell on that. Many things won't happen for a few more years. But I hope you prepare yourself and do your best to avoid those hardships after hearing about the future."Tamara nodded, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Margot. "Margot, why were you reborn?"Margot sighed. "Didn't I tell you before? My lover died in front of me. How could I possibly continue with my life like nothing happened? "The only solution I could think of was to find someone to bind our fates together. That way, I can make sure we will be together forever. But I didn't expect to be reborn after the ritual."Tamara seemed to grasp the idea.Margot waved dismissively. "I haven't figured it out myself. In any case, I'm back to before everything happened. Of course, I won't miss this chance. I want to save him and don't want to see you go through the same hardships as your previous life."Tamara embraced her."Alright, let's sleep.
Alex's gentle smile dropped, and she gave Tamara a look of surprise. When she saw her daughter's nervous yet expectant face, Alex pursed her lips and nodded. "Yes."Tamara immediately asked, "Then why haven't you gone home after all these years?"Alex changed the subject. "Tammy, you should go and have your breakfast first. We can talk about this later."Tamara wanted to continue, but Alex had already walked away. She had no choice but to give up for now. There were still two years left before her mother would jump from the building. She didn't want that to happen.Her mother was the kindest person she knew. She couldn't bear the thought of losing her mother. Moreover, according to Margot's words, her grandmother missed Alex dearly. Her health had deteriorated as well, having lived in guilt for many years. Tamara swore she would take her mother home so that her grandmother would not wallow in grief.Tamara's eyes glowed with determination....After breakfast, Margot left
The girls were flabbergasted. Who did she think she was? She looked so plain. She was the complete opposite of Benjamin Inkling! Why would Benjamin accept her food? The girls vented their frustration by cursing at Margot. They glared at Margot's retreating figure with resentment.Kayla was standing not far away and had witnessed the entire scene earlier. She had an ugly expression on her face. But knowing she needed to approach Benjamin next, she composed herself and walked toward him."Good morning, Benjamin." Kayla approached Benjamin with a gentle smile. "Have you had your breakfast yet? I happened to bring some. How about we have it together?"She shook the lunchbox in her hand.Benjamin gave her an indifferent look and raised his hand slightly. "I have my breakfast here."Kayla nodded. "I saw Ms. Zimmerman bringing you breakfast just now. I have to say, she's quite a competent nurse. She doesn't work for you anymore, yet she still brought you breakfast. I'll definitely hire
Margot shrugged. "Nothing."Benjamin gritted his teeth in annoyance.Margot asked, "What are we eating? And where are we going?"Benjamin simply turned and walked in a direction. He slipped his hands into his pockets, adopting a carefree look.Margot followed behind him. Upon seeing his demeanor, her eyes suddenly watered. She hadn't realized how carefree he used to be before she met him. A pang of bittersweet pain hit her. Margot sucked in a deep breath and quickly composed herself. "Where exactly are you taking me?"She glanced around and didn't see his red Ferrari. "Aren't you going to drive me in your Ferrari?"Benjamin groaned. "Please shut up.""Sorry." Margot obediently sealed her lips and stopped talking.An eerie silence hung between them. Suddenly, Benjamin cleared his throat. "Can you handle spicy food?"Margot nodded, then realized he couldn't see her since he was walking ahead. She caught up to him and nodded again.Benjamin furrowed his brows in confusion.
Margot immediately asked, "You smoke?"How did she never notice this in her past life?She realized it wasn't that she didn't notice. It was that he had never smoked in front of her.Benjamin glanced at her and bit into the cigarette. He stared at her steadily before putting it back in its box."I don't feel like it anymore," Benjamin huffed.Margot tilted her head in confusion. She didn't understand what he was doing."Margot Zimmerman." Benjamin lightly tapped the table, leaning back in his chair. His eyes gave her the illusion that he was gazing at her tenderly."Yes?" Margot met his gaze.Benjamin said, "You don't need to bring me breakfast in the future. And don't text me again. I'll remember your favor."Margot froze. "Are you trying to distance yourself from me?"Benjamin shrugged. "We're not close to begin with. In fact, we belong to two very different worlds. I won't marry you. Do you understand me?"Margot stared at him, forcefully suppressing her sadness. Her appe
Benjamin gave him a cold glance but said nothing else.On the other hand, Patrick sat at the table across from them. There were four people in total, two men and two women, just enough for one table.Patrick looked at Margot. "Do you also go to school here, Ms. Zimmerman? Why haven't I seen you before?"Patrick was confident he had seen all the girls in this school, especially a beauty like Margot. He would definitely have noticed her.Margot shook her head. "I don't go to school here."Patrick nodded."Then are you ... on a date with Benjamin?" Patrick asked with a playful smile. The two girls accompanying him immediately glared at Margot.Margot was about to reply when Benjamin butted in, "Can't you see we're eating?"Patrick was stunned and quickly nodded. "Sorry, Mr. Inkling, I'll shut up now."Margot glanced at Benjamin. A hint of amusement flashed in her eyes when she saw him engrossed with his food.Patrick's group had gone to pick out their food.Margot was eating sl
