Margot nodded. "Of course, you'll be fine. You're so capable. You'll definitely be able to handle Lance."Benjamin smirked and pulled her to the couch. He took out his phone and asked, "What kind of movie would you like to watch today?"Margot's eyes lit up. "Can we watch anything?"Benjamin lightly tapped her forehead. "Stop thinking of weird things."Margot immediately covered her forehead and looked at him with displeasure. "I didn't even say what I wanted to watch. Why did you hit me?"Benjamin pecked her forehead. "Oops, I was wrong. What do you want to watch?"Margot huffed lightly. "A romantic action film!"Benjamin narrowed his charming eyes. "It seems I didn't hit you hard enough."Margot immediately got up and whined, "What are you doing? I was talking about the movie 'Mr. and Mrs. Smyths.' Isn't that a romantic action movie? Doesn't it involve romance and action?"Benjamin cleared his throat.Margot looked at him suspiciously. "Benjamin, what strange thoughts were
Tamara finally let go of her worries and snuggled into Alex's arms. "Mom, I only hope that you'll be fine. I hope that I'll be fine too," Tamara mumbled.Alex gently patted her back. "We will."…The next day, Tamara saw Alex off, but she was still worried and decided to follow after her. Clacton was vast and bustling.Clacton's big four were located in four different directions, each keeping to their own lane. The Morrison family had been targeting the Moore family for years, causing the Moore family's position to waver.After reuniting with Alex, the Moore family had recently changed their strategy and clashed several times with the Morrison family in the business market.Tamara drove down the road with pursed lips. She had turned on Alex's phone location, which now appeared on her phone screen.She was at the Morrison Manor.Her mother had gone there directly, and Tamara probably couldn't follow her inside.Worry filled her heart. Tamara parked her car about a few miles a
Elijah was overjoyed and asked Alex to divorce Jacob immediately and marry him instead. He loved her. As long as she came back, he would love her even more and compensate her!But Alex refused.Elijah couldn't understand her refusal. They were each other's first love, and he was the person she loved the most. Otherwise, why would she have given birth to their daughter?Elijah was getting increasingly agitated.Alex, on the other hand, remained calm. In her youth, she had been like a brilliant sun, always wearing a bright smile on her face. Anything she wanted to do, she succeeded in. However, after all that she went through, her wittiness had been worn down, and she was left with a tranquil state of mind.Love?Perhaps she had loved him once.But as the cruel truths were gradually revealed, that love had faded away."I enjoy my life now," Alex said. "I don't want to be too harsh. After all, I did love you once. Please don't make me feel like I loved the wrong person."Elijah
Alex closed her eyes as tears welled up, but she quickly regained her composure. She returned her gaze to Elijah. "I came here today just to tell you that we have a daughter. I don't want you to take your insanity out on our daughter."With that, she turned and walked away.One of the bodyguards saw Elijah's condition and immediately blocked Alex. Alex remained motionless.Elijah watched her retreating figure with a blank face. "Let her go."He didn't expect that she already knew everything. He believed that she must have hated him.He had indeed schemed against her. But when he saw her standing with Jacob, he realized that he had fallen in love with her.He didn't want her to know the ugly side of him, so he continued to pretend to be forced by Jacob. He had even convinced himself.Elijah closed his eyes and felt a sense of regret creeping up on him.When he remembered that he had a daughter, he immediately took out his phone. "Stop all plans now."…The scorching sun hung
Tamara was about to speak when Old Mrs. Moore came out. "What are you two still doing here? It's time for lunch."Tamara immediately stood up. "We're coming."She exchanged a glance with Cheryl, who had no choice but to head to lunch with her.The atmosphere at that time was more relaxed than usual. Even Alex was smiling more than usual.After lunch, Tamara and Cheryl went to their room and quietly shared the story of what had happened.Cheryl couldn't quite follow nor make sense of it all. Tamara sheepishly smiled. "I didn't actually go inside, Aunt Cheryl. So I don't know what exactly happened."Cheryl gave her a blank look and sighed. "Even though I'm curious, I'm just glad your mother came out unharmed. That's what matters the most."Tamara nodded in agreement.She checked the time. "I need to go out this afternoon."Cheryl asked, "Where are you going?""My mom and I are going back to Londsville soon, and I want to get some gifts for my friends," Tamara explained. "I'm
Tamara brushed past him and entered the elevator. Sebastian swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on her. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the right words even after the elevator doors closed.Sebastian couldn't help but curse under his breath. He was filled with annoyance. He turned to Jerome and instructed, "Cancel the meeting."Jerome paused. "But, Mr. Lynch, this is a project you've been following closely. Canceling it now would be a waste of previous efforts."But Sebastian had already left, leaving Jerome bewildered. Everything had been fine just a while ago. But after seeing Tamara, Sebastian had changed completely. Jerome found the whole situation peculiar. ...After leaving the mall, Tamara sat in the car, gazing at the scenery outside. She felt uneasy.She couldn't get Sebastian's intense gaze out of her mind, and he seemed to be hiding something.Was he also influenced by the dreams? It seemed that he was affected more than she was. How did it come to
Tamara lowered her gaze. "All I know is that this life that we're living right now is real.""No, that's not it," Sebastian suddenly growled. "In the dream, you couldn't talk. And you couldn't talk when we first met, either. It's because of those dreams that you know what will happen in the future. "Because of that, you were able to treat your voice. Tammy, you're not resisting the dream. You're following the dream's predictions to avoid unpleasant situations."He paused, his voice growing even huskier. "No, you're not resisting the dream. You're resisting me."Tamara felt as if someone was squeezing her heart tightly, making it hard to breathe.It wasn't like that. She was only ..."I won't force you. I just hope you won't hide from me." Sebastian was practically begging.Tamara's eyes suddenly welled up with bitterness. She abruptly pushed him away and ran toward the exit.But Sebastian immediately grabbed her, wrapping his arms around her."Tamara ... I really miss you."
The driver hesitated. "But ..."Tamara smiled. "Really, it's fine. If I tell them, they'll just worry. And I don't want that."The driver nodded. "Alright."…Time flew by, and 1999 was ready to open. Margot had been busy preparing for the opening and had finally completed all the necessary arrangements. On the grand opening day, she welcomed the guests in an elegant gown.She had invited people she knew, including Shane. Unfortunately, he didn't attend. Benjamin had specially taken a day off to be there, accompanied by a group of friends.On the opening day, everything was half-priced. Friends brought their own friends, so the club wasn't empty. When Tamara arrived, Margot was chatting with someone in the lobby.Upon seeing Tamara, Margot left the person she was talking to and rushed over to hug her. "My precious Tammy, you've finally returned! If you didn't, my reputation would be in jeopardy!"Tamara smiled helplessly. "I had to persuade my grandmother to let me come b
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
