Margot returned home. The dark cloud that hung heavy over her had disappeared following Benjamin's appearance. She could read his emotions like an open book, but she didn't expose him. But he would definitely ponder over her words. It was clear that they could never be just friends.She grew excited thinking of her next move. She had never done this before.Well, where should she start? What did boys like?She drifted into sleep with this thought in mind.The next day. After waking up and freshening up, Margot inspected the hotel out of habit. As she walked out, she noticed two cars parked right in front of her.She grew alert. She knew that as she got closer to Benjamin, people would definitely start to notice her.Did they find her already?She quietly took out her phone, preparing to call the police.Just then, Harris got out of one of the cars and looked at her. He calmly stated, "Ms. Zimmerman, Mr. Inkling has prepared this car for you. You won't have to take the sub
Harris fell silent.He wasn't jealous. He just hoped that Benjamin would be more cautious. Who would have thought Benjamin would be blinded by love?Harris felt speechless.Benjamin, on the other hand, smirked, "I remember seeing her a long time ago. She must have liked me since then. Haha! Why is a little girl like her filled with thoughts about relationships?"Harris remained silent. He couldn't believe how smug Benjamin was being over this.He sighed. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now.""Oh, by the way, did she like the car?" Benjamin asked.Harris stared blankly ahead. "I couldn't tell."Benjamin clicked his tongue. "You need to get your eyes checked."With that, he hung up the phone.Harris gritted his teeth. He suddenly felt annoyed....Margot drove with a bewildered expression on her face. A smile broke through her face when she recalled Benjamin's words.He wanted her to show restraint? How amusing! Why was he so interesting?She couldn't help herself. N
Margot was already planning for the future. Benjamin felt moved by her.He grabbed her hands. "Come, let's go to class together."Margot hesitated. "Is that okay?"Benjamin smirked. "What are you afraid of? I'm here."With that, he led Margot toward the classroom. They entered through the back door. There were hardly any students at the back of the lecture hall. So they chose the seats on the edge.The teacher was focused on their book and hadn't noticed them.Margot felt strangely nervous. She had never attended college because of her circumstances. She had been working since she was very young, striving to build her career. One of the biggest regrets from her previous life was not being able to attend school properly.However, after experiencing the atmosphere here, she felt it was quite lovely. A warm hand suddenly enveloped hers. Margot froze before she lowered her gaze to see his hand holding hers. His hand completely enveloped hers, giving her a sense of security and w
Benjamin could sense Margot's unease no matter how hard she tried to hide it. He recalled the distant look in her eyes when they first met. She was giving him the same look again earlier.Benjamin bit back his questions and reassured her, "It's okay now. Are you hungry?"Margot nodded. "I am."Benjamin smiled. "Then let's go eat.""Okay." Margot nodded again. Her earlier turmoil had faded away.Benjamin held her hand, and they walked out of the classroom. Passersby looked at them with curiosity, and some even threw them disdainful glares."Why her? What does Benjamin see in her?""She has a great figure. Do you?""Hey! I'm your friend, not her!"Margot paid no attention to their opinions. She might have nothing now, but soon she would become very rich. In fact, she would become very, very rich.Margot started thinking about all the money she would be getting soon. Just then, someone approached her. That person was glaring down at her with a murderous gaze. It was none oth
The onlookers in the cafeteria couldn't believe their eyes. Benjamin was the oldest son of the Inkling family! He had always been highly regarded, accustomed to having everything handed to him on a silver platter. He had never personally queued for food.In the past, it was his dormitory mates who fetched food for him. Yet now, he was queuing himself!Everyone's gaze fell on Margot. The guys immediately understood when they saw the beautiful young girl sitting there.With a face like hers, they'd do anything for her!The girls, on the other hand, felt angry. They thought Margot looked like a beggar and believed she was with Benjamin for his money.Margot glanced in their direction and saw Benjamin standing out among the crowd. This was the man she liked!Margot propped her chin up with her hand and smiled at Benjamin.Just then, a familiar figure appeared behind Benjamin. This person wore a cold expression and exuded an icy vibe. Everyone fell silent when he walked out.Margo
Margot tensed. She didn't expect to be caught peeking. She felt embarrassed and quickly said, "I wasn't looking at anything."Sebastian's icy gaze focused on her for a moment before he turned to Benjamin. "Keep your woman in check."With that, he picked up his empty tray and left.Benjamin looked at Margot. "Why were you staring at him just now?"Margot stammered, "I just wanted to introduce him to someone ...""What?" Benjamin looked surprised by her response. He suddenly burst into laughter. "I just said he would have a hard time finding a wife with that personality. Are you trying to set him up because you're afraid he won't find one in the future?"Margot snickered. "I was just joking around. Don't take it seriously, and don't tell him either."Benjamin smiled at her, "You have interesting thoughts.""Forget it." Margot dismissed the idea. She decided to let things unfold naturally. If Tamara didn't want any involvement with Sebastian, forcing them together would only mak
Margot returned home and leaned against the door. She recalled the scene from earlier, and a faint blush crept up on her. She cupped her cheeks in embarrassment. Then, something dawned on her. Was this the joy of teasing a man? Why didn't she flirt with Benjamin earlier in her past life? He was such a fun guy to tease! Benjamin was an experienced player in her previous life, and she couldn't measure up to him. But now, Benjamin was still pure and innocent. Margot was filled with anticipation for the future.She quickly poured herself a glass of water to cool down her racing thoughts. She sat on the couch and took out her phone. She noticed Benjamin had just sent her a text.It read, "Miss you."Margot giggled at this. They had only been apart for a few minutes. Did he have to be so clingy? She suppressed her laughter and sent back a kiss emoji.However, Benjamin didn't immediately reply after she sent the emoji. Margot didn't mind. He was probably driving.She placed h
Alex's face was filled with excitement and happiness. She was the only one whose emotions mirrored Tamara's.Margot calmly withdrew her gaze and said to Tamara, "This is great! You can speak and live a normal life now."She hadn't expected Tamara's recovery to happen so quickly.Tamara nodded. "Thank you, Margot."She didn't have to say anything else. They both knew exactly what she meant.Margot asked, "Didn't you meet your grandmother and uncle? Where are they now?"Tamara smiled. "They are staying at a hotel."Margot nodded. "What's the next move?"Before Tamara could answer, a cold gaze fell on Margot. She shivered unconsciously.Jacob looked at her. "Ms. Zimmerman, are you free right now? I'd like to talk to you in private."Margot felt a hint of hostility coming from him. But she was prepared for this. After she arrived here, Tamara exhibited many strange behaviors, including the sudden recovery of her voice. Jacob was a smart man. He would definitely be suspicious.
