Tamara cautiously took a step back. "Do you want to fly the kite? Here, take it."She handed him the string and left.Sebastian cocked an eyebrow. He stared at the string in his hand before looking at the retreating figure. For a moment, he didn't know how to react.Couldn't she tell that he was just trying to help her with the kite?Sebastian started to doubt himself.Tamara returned to the tent and started helping with the preparations.Benjamin asked, "Why did you come back?"Tamara had an awkward look on her face. "I saw you were alone, so I came back to help."Benjamin turned to Sebastian, who was still frozen in place, and bit back a smile. "You seem quite afraid of Seb, Ms. Simmons. But there's no need to be. He just appears cold. But he's actually a very nice person."Well, at least toward Tamara. He was as cold as a block of ice when it came to others.Tamara's eyelashes fluttered. "I just grew tired of flying the kites."Benjamin decided not to question her any fur
Margot and Benjamin sat together, whereas Tamara sat beside Margot. Meanwhile, Sebastian sat to her right.Tamara made an effort to appear calm and not let her mind wander. She picked up a small piece of cake and started eating.Benjamin picked up a piece of chicken and handed it to Margot. "Here."Margot accepted it with a smile. "Thank you, darling."Benjamin cleared his throat. "Come on now. They'll feel left out."Margot chuckled and turned to Tamara. "My dear Tammy, would you like some chicken?"Tamara immediately shook her head. "No. Mr. Inkling was the one who gave that to you. I can't take it."Margot clicked her tongue. "You've picked up a lot of weird habits from hanging out with us."Tamara's face turned red instantly.She rolled her eyes at Margot. "Can you please just eat it?""Sure." Margot immediately took a bite of the chicken leg, savoring its flavor.Tamara smiled and continued eating her cake. After finishing it, she set her sight on her favorite bag of po
Margot and Benjamin were the happiest. They took many photos together, only stopping when Tamara complained about how tired her cheeks were.Margot asked, "Where's the hotel?"Benjamin pointed in a direction. "It's right over there.""Let's go now. I'm tired and want to rest," Margot said to Benjamin.Benjamin reached out to pinch her cheeks. He smirked. "Alright, let's rest. Are you saving up energy for tonight?"Margot blinked. "Hey! There are children around."Benjamin froze at this. He widened his eyes. "What are you talking about? I was talking about the meteor shower tonight. I don't know what's going on in your head, always thinking about all sorts of strange things."Margot pouted. "You're the one who misled me."Benjamin smirked. "Margot, why are you blaming me for your naughty thoughts?"Margot huffed. "Let's go!"Benjamin got up and followed her. "Alright, I know you really want it. But you're still young. I don't want it to hurt."Margot reached out and pinched h
Tamara's face turned red instantly, and she pushed Margot away. "Enough with the nonsense."Margot laughed. "I'm simply stating the facts. But judging by Sebastian's reaction, it seems like he's already taken an interest in you. Maybe it's because of your reaction. So, be sure to act normal around him next time, okay?"Tamara nodded. "Okay."Margot lay flat on the bed and took a deep breath. "Tammy, did you manage to dig up any information about Nammu Bay?"Tamara replied, "That place is really isolated from the rest of the world. Based on some information on the internet, it seems like it's a lawless place. Very few people who go there can escape, and those who do escape dare not speak much about it."Margot sneered. "The people on the island are quite brutal. Both factions have their own rules, and violating anyone's rules will result in punishment."She almost died when she sneaked into Nammu Bay back then. The Lane family was cruel, and the Zimmerman family was no different.
Margot pouted. "I don't want to wear it. It's hot!"Benjamin's face fell. "You must wear it."Margot turned to him and saw the dark look he was giving her. She suddenly smiled and held his arm. "What are you doing?"Benjamin clicked his tongue. "I don't want others to see you like this."He didn't bother hiding his thoughts. Well, he was never one to hide anyway.Margot smiled. "But I like wearing dresses, especially red ones."Benjamin wanted to retort but eventually compromised. "Fine, you can wear it if you like it."Tamara followed behind them. Despite her shy smile, her eyes were sparkling brightly.She felt like she was watching a TV drama. Why were these two so sweet?Beside her, Sebastian walked in silence. He didn't bother looking at the two lovebirds.Margot and Benjamin stood inside the elevator at the back, while Tamara and Sebastian stood at the front. Tamara was closer to the elevator buttons but didn't know which floor to go to, so she turned to ask.However,
Alex's tone turned serious. "Where's Margot?"Margot immediately appeared on the screen. "I'm here. We're out with some friends to watch the meteor shower. Don't worry. Tammy will be fine. I'll take care of her!"Tamara nodded beside her.Alex asked, "Who are your friends?"Tamara was now sweating nervously. She awkwardly spun the phone around the elevator while trying to maintain a calm façade. "Hi, I'm Benjamin," Benjamin greeted with a charming smile.He had initially wanted to say that he was Margot's boyfriend. But Margot pinched him before he could continue.When the camera focused on Sebastian, he hesitated for a moment. "Hello, I'm Sebastian."Tamara quickly retrieved her phone. "Are you satisfied now? There's no one else here."Alex was still worried. "What time does the meteor shower end?"Tamara was on the brink of tears. "I don't know, but I promise we'll be back today."Alex frowned before finally relenting. "Alright, I'll wait for you to come back."She then
Margot chuckled and decided not to let her be. Once Tamara had filled her plate, they headed back together.Back at the dining table, Margot took out her phone and started taking photos. It was a beautiful moment. She couldn't resist taking a couple of photos to commemorate it.The group quietly enjoyed their meal. Just then, Benjamin's phone rang. He took out his phone, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. He got up to answer the call. "Hello?""Benjamin, where are you?" Shane sounded serious.Benjamin sneered. "What do you want?"Shane continued, "Come back now. Your father has returned, and the family is preparing to send you abroad for further studies. When you return from your studies, you will inherit the company."After a pause, Shane's tone softened. "Benjamin, you are the legitimate heir of the Inkling family. The Inkling Corporation belongs to you. But you will need all the help you can get. So Lance will be your deputy. You two can work together and bring
Margot had uttered that statement firmly. Benjamin gently loosened his hold on her and carefully observed her face. Seeing that she wasn't joking, he smiled, "Alright, then I'll bring you along with me."Margot smiled. "We'll be together forever."Benjamin's heart swelled. "Yes."He hugged her tightly once more, suddenly feeling grateful that he hadn't pushed her away. With her by his side, he wouldn't feel lonely. He wouldn't be fighting a lone battle.Margot gazed at the twinkling stars, and her eyes flashed with bitterness. She held him tight. She had already experienced all the trials and tribulations of her past life. This time, she wasn't afraid. As long as he was by her side and he was well, she would be content....Tamara had walked quite a distance before realizing that Margot and Benjamin were missing. She was startled and subconsciously looked at Sebastian. "Where are they?"Sebastian's expression was cold and stern. "They went into the bushes."Tamara tilted he
