Dylan swung his head back and chugged his beer. His eyes turned red. He grumbled, "Why? Because those assholes didn't receive the punishment they deserved in the end! "All because they escaped to a foreign country! To a place without laws or justice! Where no one can hold them accountable!"Margot furrowed her brows at this.A place without laws?She unconsciously thought of Nammu Bay.But she quickly dismissed the thought. It was impossible. The people on Nammu Bay were mostly outlaws. But among them were also many wealthy youths who were sent there after being framed. Moreover, it was so far from Suscar. Surely, that couldn't be the case.Margot gave him a toast. "Sorry for bringing up your painful memories."Dylan glanced at her and asked, "Why didn't you send us to jail when we kidnapped you?"Instead, she hired them.At first, he had thought that Margot had ulterior motives. But it had been a long time since it happened, and she hadn't done anything else. She simply
Benjamin froze for a moment. "I went back to the Inkling Manor."Margot blinked at this. "Did Lance stir up any trouble?"Benjamin chuckled softly. "Would he dare?"Margot looked at him. "Right, he wouldn't. You're so formidable. He'll only end up losing if he picks a fight with you."Benjamin glanced at her before he leaned down to peck her lips. "You're that confident in me?"Margot nodded. "Of course. You're my future husband. I have complete faith in you."Benjamin's breath hitched at that, and he lifted her. "Well, this future husband of yours will take you home."Margot nestled in his arms, her cheeks tinged with a slight blush. She squinted her eyes, looking like a contented cat.As soon as they entered Windsong Mansion, Benjamin kissed Margot silly. He trailed kisses down her face before finally meeting her lips. Their breaths intertwined as they rolled around.Margot hugged his neck and responded passionately. It was as if two parched fish had finally found water and
The bathroom door had closed in front of her.Margot chuckled wryly and left the bedroom with the phone. She sat on the couch, thinking about what Dylan had said. She had a feeling it might be as she had suspected.But even if it was, what could she do about it? They were still too weak.They couldn't possibly contend with Nammu Bay's power.Besides, her initial plan was not to confront them but to join them. It would be much more satisfying to undermine them from within.She took out her phone and looked at the number on it. She had saved this number a long time ago, but she had never dialed it.She didn't know if anyone would answer her if she called now, let alone if they would believe her. And now wasn't the right time yet.Soon, Benjamin came out of the bedroom. Seeing Margot sitting absentmindedly on the couch, he hugged her waist. "What's wrong?"Margot glanced at him and asked, "Have you eaten?"Benjamin answered, "I had some food. Are you hungry? What would you like t
Benjamin immediately turned off the stove. The soup had boiled dry. Benjamin furrowed his brows. "I'll make you a new one."However, Margot muttered, "No, I want this one." She took a bowl and poured the noodles into it before sitting at the dining table.Although it didn't look great, the taste was still acceptable.Benjamin watched her eat with a serious expression, and his heart raced. A strange feeling filled his chest, and he wished he could hold her close and become one with her.Margot didn't notice his change in mood. After finishing the bowl of noodles, she wiped her mouth contentedly and looked up at him. It was then she saw his complicated expression. "What's wrong?"Benjamin looked at her seriously. "Why are you just coming of age?"Margot paused before she burst into laughter at his words. What kind of question was that? Did he think she came of age too late?Could she tell him that although she had just officially come of age, she was actually a 28-year-old
Tamara turned to look at Joseph. "Joseph, this is my friend, Margot.""Hello." Joseph extended his hand toward Margot.Margot felt a mix of emotions but tried to maintain a pleasant demeanor. She shook his hand. "Hello."Tamara piped up, "Let's go in and have lunch."Margot nodded. "Sure."She withdrew her gaze, feeling a complex mix of emotions. She hadn't expected to meet Joseph so soon. Although she had prepared herself, it still felt somewhat unexpected.In her previous life, Joseph treated her well and did a lot for her. However, there were some things she couldn't give him because she had already given them to Benjamin. In this lifetime, Joseph was a stranger to her. She just hoped that things wouldn't happen like they had in her previous life.The three of them sat down and began ordering. Margot didn't ask Tamara about her dreams, knowing that it wouldn't be appropriate with Joseph present.Tamara looked at Margot and asked, "You seem a bit off."Margot smiled faintl
Tamara and Margot exchanged a glance, both detecting a hint of helplessness and amusement in each other's eyes. Joseph appeared quite serious. And when he realized they weren't taking his words seriously, he furrowed his brows. He asserted, "I'm serious. Tammy is our precious little sister. We don't want her to marry too early."Tamara quickly interjected, "Oh, come on. I'm still young. Marriage is far off in the future. Can't we talk about something else?"Joseph didn't press the matter further upon seeing how uncomfortable she was.Margot glanced at Tamara. She remembered the age when Tamara and Sebastian got married. Indeed, it was still far off in the future. If they followed Joseph's standards, then Tamara had definitely gotten married too young in her previous life. Not only that, but she had also been too young to bear children.Margot wondered how things would unfold in this life. It seemed like the past would repeat itself since both Tamara and Sebastian started havi
Margot remained composed. "I only found out about it because Tammy told me about your experiences." She placed the teacup on the table and turned to Sebastian. "You have an interesting story. I have never heard of anything similar before."Sebastian stared at her for a few seconds before he averted his gaze. He was trying to gauge how much she knew.Margot was aware of this, so she played dumb. She had no intention of revealing the fact that she had been reincarnated. She had even lied to Benjamin and said it all to her in the form of a dream. Even if Benjamin had said something to Sebastian, it wouldn't expose the fact that she had been reincarnated.Moreover, talking about dreams, she believed that Sebastian would probably resonate with her since he was also trapped in a dream.Margot composed herself and turned to Tamara. "You haven't told me what you dreamt about this time."Tamara pursed her lips. "I dreamt that I got married to Mr. Lynch ..."She slowly recounted her dr
Upon hearing this, Tamara immediately sighed in relief. She placed her teacup down gently and whispered, "Have you thought of any way to stop these dreams from continuing?"Sebastian furrowed his brows and shook his head. "No."One mysterious event after another had occurred. They both saw the white light simultaneously and started having the same dream. And now Margot was telling them that these might be their past experiences, serving as a means to remind them in this lifetime. However, how did these past events relate to their current lives? They both wanted to live their own lives and didn't want to repeat the past.Sebastian and Tamara shared the same sentiment, especially for someone as proud as Sebastian. He would never accept being manipulated by fate.Disappointment flashed in Tamara's eyes, and she sighed softly, "It seems that we'll have to continue having these dreams."Sebastian hummed coldly.The room fell into an awkward silence.Tamara sensed the weird atmo
