Margot was glad to see the smile on Tamara's face. Margot couldn't help but wonder what if none of the events of the past had occurred. In that case, Tamara wouldn't have had to endure so much hardship and could have lived a carefree life. Margot let out a sigh, realizing that they were just "what-ifs.""Margot," just then, a familiar voice rang out. Margot turned around and saw Benjamin standing behind her, with the aloof Sebastian beside him.Margot was surprised. "You're still at school?"Benjamin cocked an eyebrow. "Are you not here for me?"Margot suddenly felt guilty and awkwardly scratched her nose. She decided to be honest. "Actually, no."Benjamin's face fell. "So you're not here for me?"He sounded like he would have a breakdown if Margot nodded to his question."Margot." Just then, Tamara walked over. She cast Benjamin a curious look. "Is he your boyfriend?"An idea suddenly occurred to Margot. "I went to Tammy's house this afternoon, and she found out that I w
Not wanting to appear too childish, Benjamin immediately put on a stern face and followed Margot in silence.Sebastian suddenly spoke up, "I'm leaving."Benjamin immediately grabbed him. "Don't go. It will be boring with just me around."Sebastian shrugged. "That's your problem. You can leave too."Benjamin looked at him in disbelief. "Seb, seriously, don't you want a girlfriend?"Sebastian sneered at him. "Why have you become so disgusting after getting into a relationship?"Benjamin was shocked. "Disgusting? Just wait until you're in a relationship. I'll make sure you'll eat your own words."Sebastian scoffed.Benjamin gritted his teeth. "In any case, you can't leave."Sebastian glanced at Benjamin's hand. "Let go."Benjamin, still gritting his teeth, reluctantly released his grip. He sighed in relief when Sebastian made no move to leave.His gaze fell on the two girls ahead. It seemed like they had long forgotten about Benjamin and Sebastian.Benjamin pouted sadly.At t
Tamara let out a soft whimper and quickly stumbled back. She raised her head, only to see a cold face staring at her impatiently.That person was none other than Sebastian.Tamara was startled, and the words Margot had said to her came to mind. Her face immediately flushed bright red."Sorry ..." She quickly lowered her head and hurriedly walked around him.Sebastian frowned, wondering why she was so afraid of him. ...Margot and Benjamin were chatting when they saw Tamara return with her head down, looking extremely embarrassed.Margot immediately asked, "What's wrong, Tammy? Did someone bully you? Tell me, I'll help you deal with them!"Tamara quickly shook her head. "No."Margot carefully observed her. It was then that she noticed that Sebastian was nowhere to be seen. She gave a knowing smile. "It's getting late. Do you want to go home now?"Tamara nodded. "Okay."Margot stood up. "We'll accompany you back."Tamara shook her head. "There's no need for that. I can go ba
The car glided slowly down the highway. Tamara tried her best not to pay attention to the man beside her. She looked out of the window, but she could see Sebastian in the reflection on the glass. He had his eyes closed. He had distinctive features and a sexy, sharp jawline. Tamara toyed with her fingers and tried to calm herself down. Right now, they were nothing but a pair of strangers. She didn't know what he had been like in her past life. She only had Margot's stories to give her a vague idea of what had happened. It wasn't like she had any memory of it happening. She really shouldn't be so concerned.Tamara gradually calmed down, and she became less tense than before. They were just strangers.However, the car suddenly made a sharp turn. Her body swung uncontrollably to the side, and she fell into Sebastian's arms.Benjamin cursed at the car ahead. "Can't you drive properly? Why were you speeding down the road?"Margot sighed. "Calm down."She immediately turned to
Benjamin chuckled and was about to say something when they suddenly heard the car door being slammed shut from behind. Both of them were stunned and turned to see Sebastian getting out of the car with an indifferent expression.Benjamin and Margot exchanged a look. Benjamin exited the car and asked, "Hey, what's up with you?"Sebastian muttered coldly, "I've noticed that I'm basically invisible around you two. So I felt like I should leave before things get heated between the two of you."Benjamin huffed. "You sure have a sharp tongue. Fine, go back on your own, then. I do find your presence a hindrance."With that, he turned and got back into the car.Margot asked, "Is he not coming back?"Benjamin snickered. "He doesn't want to be a third wheel."Margot laughed. "Then, let's ignore him for now. Let's go. I'm so tired."Benjamin stared at her for a moment before starting the car and driving off.Once they reached the apartment complex, Benjamin didn't immediately unlock the
It was Margot's turn to narrow her eyes. "What? You don't trust me?"Benjamin pinched her cheeks. "I trust you."There was no reason for him not to trust her.Margot sighed. "Open the car door. I want to get out."Benjamin hummed in acknowledgment. "Tomorrow's Saturday. Let's go on a date."Margot looked at him. "Have you decided where to go?"Benjamin smiled. "How about going camping?"Margot nodded. "Sure, but you have to wait for me to wake up first."Benjamin agreed. "I won't disturb your beauty sleep. We'll set off after you've had enough rest.""Okay, then I'll be heading up now." Margot opened the car door and waved goodbye to him before going upstairs.Benjamin smiled affectionately at her retreating figure.It was the next morning. Margot was up early. She picked up her phone and saw that it was only 7:00 am. She wanted to go back to sleep but didn't feel sleepy at all. She sighed. It was just camping. Was it really something to be so excited about?Once again,
"No way ..." Margot widened her eyes at Tamara. "Are you serious?"Tamara was amused by her. "So I've decided not to go."Margot felt a bit disappointed. "But I really want to take you camping. Can't you just ignore him?"Tamara blinked. "Alright."Margot smiled and took her hand. She opened the rear car door and asked Sebastian, "Can you sit in the front passenger seat instead? Tammy and I have a lot to talk about."Sebastian was once again back in the front passenger seat. Who knew whether it was intentional or not?Upon hearing this, Sebastian, who had been looking at his phone, turned to glance in their direction. His gaze remained calm and composed, but they held a certain intensity.Margot was impressed.Sebastian hadn't even taken over ST Group yet, but he was already exuding a domineering presence. Wouldn't it be even more overwhelming after he took over the company?Margot's mind began to wander.Sebastian silently exited the car and entered the front passenger seat.
The park was well-preserved, and fresh air surrounded them. After they parked their car, they carried their belongings inside.Margot hooked her arm with Tamara's and smiled as she looked around. "If only I had come back earlier, Tammy.""What?" Tamara looked at her with confusion. "How much earlier?"Margot chuckled. "If I had appeared by your side when you were just a few years old, telling you everything that would happen in the future, do you think you would have taken me for a fairy?"Tamara gave her a blank look. "Of course not. I would have been too young to understand anything.""That's true." Margot snapped out of her daydream. "Actually, now is a good time to come back. At least none of those tragedies had happened yet. I'm glad."Tamara nodded. "I'm glad too."She had been taking her medication daily. Her voice was still hoarse yesterday. But it was a lot better now.It was just a matter of time before she had a full recovery.Tamara asked, "I remember you said yo
