Margot came back to her senses and smiled. "I was thinking, when will you stop being so uptight?"Benjamin paused at her words before realizing what she meant. He chuckled softly. "After we get married."Margot blinked at him. "Do you think I'll believe you?"Benjamin cocked an eyebrow and gave her a playful smile. "Am I that untrustworthy?"Margot leaned back on the couch and grinned up at him. "I can believe you in many things, but this ... well, let's just say I believe you for now."Her birthday was just around the corner, and she would only turn 20 then. Benjamin played with her fingers. "Alright, we'll wait and see."Margot suddenly smirked. "What if I turn out to be right?"Benjamin looked at her. "What would you like to do?"What else would she want? Of course, she wanted his utmost devotion.Margot began to ponder over it, and Benjamin didn't rush her. He simply stared at her hand. After taking good care of her, her hand had become much fairer, and the calluses on h
Margot smiled. "Just thinking about the two of you makes me want to laugh."Tamara looked solemn, "This is serious. So don't fool around right now.""Alright, I won't laugh." Margot quickly raised her hand in surrender. "You don't have to meet up with him if you don't want to. And you're going to Clacton soon. You don't need to worry about this."Tamara nodded. "That's true, but I still can't help the occasional weird thoughts, you know?"Margot sighed. "I don't really understand."Tamara groaned. "Forget it. I don't want to continue with this. It's fine as long as I don't meet him." She picked up her spoon and continued eating.Margot shook her head helplessly. "I really can't figure the both of you out."Given the current situation, they might actually go their separate ways. But the dreams had been continuous. Margot didn't know if those feelings would seep into their mind along with the dreams. If it did, wouldn't that be even more awkward? To fall in love with eac
Sebastian, who hadn't been paying attention to them, immediately turned his gaze when he heard Margot's words. Despite the distance, he met Tamara's gaze.Tamara quickly looked away, pretending not to have seen him.Benjamin opened the car door and walked up to Margot. "What's wrong? Can't you take us with you on your little shopping trip? We can accompany you."Margot immediately pushed him away. "This is a girls' night out. You men should stay out of it."Benjamin pouted. "But what should I do? I missed you. I haven't seen you all day. I was planning to cook dinner for you tonight. But you called and told me you had plans. Do you know how hurtful it was?"Margot clenched her teeth. Exasperation washed over her as she struggled to cope with this aspect of Benjamin's personality.Benjamin held her hand and stared deeply at her. "Margot, can we accompany you, please?"Margot remained silent.She was done for.She turned to Tamara and cleared her throat. "Do you want to continue
Margot looked at him in horror and cupped his face with her hands. "Calm down. Please never say such things again, okay?"Benjamin looked bewildered. "Isn't it sweet?""Not at all!" Margot didn't want to know where he picked up these cheesy pickup lines. Her immediate response was to resist, and on top of that, her body was covered in goosebumps.She was creeped out by his remark. Seeing her resistance, Benjamin could only nod. "Alright, I won't say it again."Margot heaved a sigh of relief. "Remember, you're not allowed to talk like that again! We'll break up if you do!"Benjamin immediately closed his mouth.She had never said anything about breaking up. Why were the consequences of saying cheesy lines so severe? He decided not to say them in the future.The shopping mall was very close. It was just a crossroad away.Tamara relaxed as she listened to the conversation between the two. Just then, her phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was a call from Quentin.She wa
Margot and Tamara turned around to see a stranger standing behind them. The person had their arms crossed and was looking at them arrogantly.This stranger wasn't exactly a new face. For Margot, this was a total stranger. But for Tamara, she had only recently become acquainted with her.She was someone Tamara had encountered in her dreams—Rowena Xanthos.In the dream, Rowena was fond of Sebastian and was unhappy that Tamara became Sebastian's wife. On the day Tamara and Sebastian registered their marriage, Rowena had tried to push Tamara, only to be reprimanded by Sebastian. Later, Rowena conspired with Yareli to drug Tamara, almost causing her to miscarry.They hadn't anticipated meeting her in person so soon.Margot and Tamara exchanged glances and could see the amusement in each other's eyes.Rowena turned to the salesperson. "Didn't you hear me? I want this dress!"The salesperson hesitated and looked at Tamara. "Miss, do you want this dress?"Tamara nodded. "Of course.
"Yes." The salesperson immediately nodded and called security to escort Rowena away.Rowena had yet to understand the situation and was still staring at Sebastian. She felt that only a man like Sebastian could be worthy of her!The clothing store fell into silence. Tamara quickly snapped out of it and handed her card to the salesperson. "Please wrap the dress nicely.""Okay, please wait a moment." The salesperson took the card and hurried off to complete the transaction.Seeing that Tamara didn't look at Sebastian, Margot said to him, "Thank you, Mr. Lynch. If it weren't for you, who knows when that woman would have stopped."Sebastian, however, said coldly, "Were you the one I helped?"Margot's jaw fell. His response took her aback. Even though his question was valid, his tone remained irritating.Tamara's eyelashes trembled as she tried to appear calm. She looked at Sebastian. "Thank you."Sebastian remained indifferent. "I don't accept verbal thanks."Tamara was stunned and
Margot suppressed a smile and didn't say anything. The car soon came to a steady stop in front of the Simmons residence. Tamara smiled. "Thank you for the ride."Benjamin chimed in, "It was Mr. Lynch who drove you back."Tamara hesitated but still turned to Sebastian. "Thank you for driving me back."Sebastian remained silent.Tamara then turned to Margot and said, "I'll head in now. I'll call you soon."Margot nodded. "Sure, have a good time in Clacton. Remember to bring me back a souvenir."Tamara nodded. "Don't worry. I'll surely get something for you."Margot gave a faint smile and watched Tamara as she got out of the car.After Tamara left, Sebastian, who had been quiet all along, suddenly opened the car door and got out, walking directly toward Tamara."What's going on?" Margot immediately leaned against the car window in excitement.Benjamin clicked his tongue. "I knew it. Seb has taken a liking to your friend. But unfortunately, he's too stubborn."Margot looked at
Unexpected changes? Surely, it would happen. Even the most virtuous woman feared a relentless suitor.No matter how resolute Tamara's heart was, under the dual assault of the dream and Sebastian, she would eventually crumble.But it all depended on what Sebastian was thinking.Sebastian remained silent, and the car fell into a quiet atmosphere. Margot and Benjamin exchanged glances but didn't say much.Sebastian drove the car to a club. When the security saw his vehicle, they respectfully approached and opened the car door. They were members of this club and had reserved a VIP room.Once inside, Margot immediately started setting up the poker cards.Benjamin and Sebastian wanted to have a drink. There was nothing she could do at the moment.Margot didn't want to go home early. She hadn't had a chance to get chummy with Benjamin yet. Leaning her chin on one hand, she glanced at the two men on the couch, her gaze lingering on Benjamin.Benjamin noticed her gaze and looked at her.
The bed was also adorned in striking white. Margot's bridal gown gradually slipped off, and her hair spread out behind her on the bed. Her smooth skin shone beneath the dazzling light.Benjamin stared at her. "Margot, you have to spend the rest of your life making up for your lies.""Okay," Margot agreed without hesitation.The temperature in the room rose, and the night had just begun.It was as Tamara said. Because of their tragic past, the heavens decided to bless them in this life. They lived happily ever after from that day onward.Benjamin successfully inherited the Inkling Corporation. A year later, Margot gave birth to a daughter. She resembled Benjamin and was as beautiful as a doll.Their little girl grew up in a loving family, and the love between Margot and Benjamin only grew with time. They developed Nammu Bay, transforming it into a popular tourist destination.Another year passed, and Tamara and Sebastian got married. The wedding was almost identical to the one fr
The newlywed walked into the wedding hall hand in hand.The wedding hall was also well-decorated. Shane, Trevor, Jacob, and Alex sat in the front row.The host congratulated the couple, and after the couple exchanged rings, the crowd erupted in cheers. The wedding went past quickly. And when Margot was led to her bridal room, she was still very much in a daze.Because of Margot's condition, she had to leave early and let Benjamin deal with the guests alone.As time passed, Margot grew more and more anxious. But she didn't dare move a muscle. Benjamin had told her to keep the veil on and wait for him.Margot had never been this obedient before. But she had no choice. Disobeying wouldn't do. What if her husband ran away?Just then, the door opened. Margot's heart tightened, and she immediately went tense in anticipation.A faint stench of alcohol wafted over, and she saw his shoes from under the veil.He was standing before her but made no move to greet her.Margot couldn't help
When the others saw Benjamin standing still in a daze, they all asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why did he stop?""What is he thinking about?""Did he lose his mind because he was too excited to meet his bride?"Someone made a joke, and others burst into laughter.Downstairs, Sebastian exchanged looks with Tamara, who was upstairs. His gaze returned to Benjamin.The wedding had been going on smoothly. But it seemed that Benjamin's memories might be their biggest challenge.Now that Benjamin had recovered his memories, what would he do next?However, Benjamin quickly came back to his senses. He walked forward calmly until he reached the door. As his gaze swept over Tamara and Natasha, a small smile appeared on his face.Tamara piped up, "Mr. Inkling, Nat and I had planned to set up some challenges for you. However, considering the hardships you and Margot have gone through, those challenges seem trivial in front of you. So, I thought, why not give you a clear path that led
"Shit! Isn't that too ruthless?""Leave it to the four Moore brothers to pull this trick!""Stop standing around and start drinking!"Benjamin watched on without any change in expression. He turned to the last row of men and smiled. "I'll leave the first round to you."Those men were all eager to try. They rolled up their sleeves and loosened their ties, their eyes gleaming with excitement.Benjamin made room for them, and they eagerly stepped forward. They picked up the glasses and downed them in one gulp."Let's go!" The cheers that erupted motivated them further. But despite their fierce drinking, they were no match for the abundant alcohol. When they looked up, they found that they were only halfway through. Some of them were already feeling tipsy!Sunlight spilled onto the drinks. A gentle breeze caused ripples on the liquid, resembling scattered stars.The men noticed the entrance was within arm's reach, and they gritted their teeth to endure the torture.Harris was th
The morning sunlight bathed the earth, casting a brilliant glow on every corner of Simmons Residence. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles. In the room, the styling team was already in position. They first helped Margot into the wedding gown and began styling her hair.Although Margot never decided on her bridal makeup, she did try each style. To surprise her, Benjamin accompanied her to try out the bridal makeup but kept the final choice from her.Now, dressed in the beautiful wedding gown, Margot remembered the makeup styles she had tried before, and a smile graced her face. Tamara and Natasha also changed into their bridesmaid dresses. The makeup artist was working on them when Alex walked in with a gentle smile. "Have you done your preparation for the challenges?"Tamara gave a thumbs up. "Don't worry, Mom. I won't let them take your daughter away easily."Alex giggled. "That won't do. We have to see if Margot agrees."Margot immediately exclaimed, "I'm all in favor!"
"You're right!" Tamara exclaimed, and the three women chatted for a while before gradually falling asleep.In the Inkling Manor, lights were on, and a festive atmosphere filled every corner. Wealthy young men who knew Benjamin gathered there, celebrating the night.A few people sat on the couch by the pool. There were various drinks on the table. Jack picked up a bottle and praised, "This is a good wine. It's at least 30 years old! You're going all out, Mr. Inkling."Benjamin's face carried a contented smile. "It's my big day, so let's all have a good time together."Jack gave him a thumbs up. "You're very generous, Mr. Inkling."The others laughed along.Benjamin turned to Sebastian and suddenly smiled. "Why are you so calm? When we go over tomorrow, I wonder what challenges Tamara has for you."Sebastian calmly muttered, "She'll only cause trouble for you."Benjamin cocked an eyebrow. "You're quite confident. I can't wait to see you eat your words tomorrow."Sebastian shrugg
Margot responded, "Yes, but I believe he will recover his memory soon."Joseph chuckled. "It doesn't matter if he does recover his memory. He loves you either way."A sweet smile appeared on Margot's face.He was right. Benjamin loved her with or without his memories. Nothing could ever change that.Joseph gazed at Margot for a while before shifting his gaze away. He turned to the night sky outside. "It seems that tonight will be a special one."Margot looked at him. "Do you have any plans for the future, Joseph?"Joseph smiled. "I will work for Moore Corporation. After all, I'm the only one in our family who studied business."Margot's eyes flickered. Joseph's life was still the same as in her past life. He would still manage Moore Corporation while the other brothers shine in their respective fields."That's great! I'll have a powerful backer now. I can just mention your name if someone bullies me. As the cousin of the Moore Corporation's president, no one would dare lay thei
Margot reached out to touch the wedding gown, feeling the expensive fabric. Every stitch and thread carried Benjamin's love for her. She looked up at Tamara. "I'm scared, Tammy."Tamara seemed to know what she was afraid of and hugged her close. "Don't be. This is real. It's really happening.Tears welled up in Margot's eyes. Tamara understood her the best. She feared this was just a dream, an illusion she would wake up from. There was no rebirth, cat-and-mouse games, or Nammu Bay destruction. Everything was just a trick her mind had made up.After all this time, Margot finally felt fear.She held onto Tamara tightly. Even when tears streamed down, Margot didn't dare to blink, afraid that she would return to a cold room if she did, a world without him.Tamara gently stroked her back. "Hold me tight, Margot. I'm real. You've felt the wedding dress. That's real, too. Nothing is an illusion. It was all real."Margot finally calmed down. She suddenly felt embarrassed. "Sorry about
"I do! I do want to be your daughter," Margot hurriedly exclaimed. She looked flustered. "I was just a bit overwhelmed. I never expected this. Aunt Alex, I …"Tamara laughed. "Since you're now her daughter, why aren't you referring to her as your mom?"Margot felt even more embarrassed!She grew up in an orphanage and had little concept of parental love. Although she had fantasized about having a mother like Tamara's, it was just a dream. She didn't have a mother. That was why she felt close to Alex. With Alex officially adopting Margot as her daughter, Margot gained a mother from that point onward.Margot's eyes watered. No matter how hard she tried to hold it in, she couldn't stop the tears from falling.Seeing this, Alex quickly took out tissues to wipe them away. "Don't cry. You'll get wrinkles if you cry."But the comforting words only made it worse.Margot threw herself into Alex's arms.Alex comforted Margot patiently, her eyes also glossing over.However, Jacob fr
