The barbecue restaurant came alive at night, and it was packed like sardines inside. Margot and Benjamin chose the seat in the corner. The air here was thick with the aroma from the barbecue, making one's mouth water. The waiter brought the menu. "Please write down your order." With that, the waiter rushed off to attend to other tables.Margot took the menu and looked through it carefully. When she looked up, she saw Benjamin gazing intently at her, his charming eyes filled with affection. She felt butterflies in her stomach. It felt like a dream, a beautiful fairytale, making people yearn for them. Margot's gaze softened at him. "What's up?"Benjamin smiled. "I really like our current life." He was extremely content to spend his days by her side, making her smile.Margot, however, huffed. "It's fine if you enjoy it, but don't get too addicted to it. Barbecue isn't something you can eat every day. It's not good for your health."Benjamin fell silent.He was trying to fli
Margot was caught off guard. Nevertheless, she clung to his arm and whined, "It's still three days away. I really want to have some now."Benjamin remained firm. "No."Margot blinked, trying to look pitiful, but it didn't work. She deflated like a balloon and pouted.Benjamin glanced at her, and his heart softened. But he forcibly averted his gaze. For her well-being, he had to make her quit ice cream.They returned to Windsong Mansion 15 minutes later. Margot went to her room to take a shower. When she came out, she saw Benjamin standing on the balcony, talking on the phone and giving instructions.Margot walked over quietly and embraced him from behind.Benjamin held her hand and spoke into the phone, "That's all for now."After hanging up, he pulled her in front of him and leaned down to kiss her. "What's wrong?" Margot asked, "What was the call about?"Benjamin smirked. "I've just checked the contents of the USB drive. Lance has been in contact with a foreign business par
Margot nodded, excitement gleaming in her eyes. "I'm really looking forward to seeing Lance's fall."Benjamin gently ruffled her hair. "Then, let us enjoy the show together.""Okay!" Margot nodded enthusiastically.The two of them boarded a plane to Rastone. Three hours later, they arrived. As the sun gradually set, the sky was painted with an orange glow. It was a sight to behold.Upon leaving the airport, they got into a car. Margot, feeling exhausted, snuggled into Benjamin's arms. She asked with half-lidded eyes, "How much longer until we get there?"Benjamin pecked her forehead. "It will be another hour. Take a nap if you're tired."Margot adjusted in her seat. "Alright."She closed her eyes and began to doze off.Benjamin looked at her with affection. His eyes were filled with tenderness.Harris was the one driving. He glanced in the rearview mirror and spoke in a hushed tone, "Mr. Inkling, we've prepared a manor here."Benjamin shushed him and gave him a stern look.H
Benjamin's feelings for Margot seemed to have deepened.After dinner, they sat in the greenhouse, gazing at the night sky. In the distance, the castle was faintly visible and looked like a scene straight out of a fairytale.Margot took out her phone to take a picture. "I really love it here. Let's visit the castle tomorrow."Benjamin sat in his chair, watching her excited expression. He smiled faintly, and a sly glint flashed in his eyes. "Tomorrow?"Margot looked at him. "When else would we go?"Benjamin shrugged. "I was just thinking that going so soon might take away the anticipation."Margot looked at him in confusion. "We're already here. Are you planning to bring me there on our last day here?"Benjamin stared back at her. "Do you really want to go?"Margot nodded. "Yes."Benjamin smirked. "You can do better than that."His voice grew lower and more sensual. His charming eyes locked onto hers as if he was enticing her.Margot's eyes shone, and she returned a seductive
The next day, when Margot emerged from her room, she noticed that Benjamin had also just exited his. She smiled. "Good morning, Mr. Inkling."Benjamin gazed deeply at her. He walked over and clasped the back of her head, kissing her hard.Margot was pushed up against the wall by him. She panted from the kisses. "What's wrong?"Benjamin's lips rubbed against hers, his voice hoarse. "Weren't you scared last night?"Margot bit back a laugh. "No. I could survive living alone in an orphanage. What's there to be afraid of here?"Her fingers clutched his clothes, and she stared up at him. "What's wrong? Were you expecting me to get scared and crawl into your bed in the middle of the night?" She dragged out her last few words, teasing him. Benjamin's breath hitched, and he cleared his throat. "Are you hungry?"Margot burst into laughter. Why was he so easily provoked? He couldn't even handle a couple of teases. She needed to train him."Yes." Margot nodded.Benjamin suggested, "L
Tamara immediately said, "Have fun with Benjamin. You don't need to worry about things here."Margot made a kissing sound. "Thank you, dear."Tamara huffed. "Cut it out."The two of them exchanged a few more jokes before hanging up....Tamara always had to be on guard against Jacob at home, so she informed Alex and went to 1999. Since 1999 was yet to open, Tamara went directly to the wine cellar.The wine cellar was filled with the rich aroma of wine. She had originally planned to mix some drinks, but her thoughts unknowingly drifted away while sitting in the chair.Since that night, she hadn't had any dreams. The absence of dreams on the initial night brought her a sense of relief, a long-awaited respite from her disturbing nightly visions. However, a few days later, she started to feel empty inside.Maybe it was due to the dreams, but she grew absent-minded recently. She felt somewhat helpless when she finally realized it, but it didn't take long for her to fall into tha
"Oh my, were you sent here to apologize on her behalf? It seems like this club is quite sincere. If it's you accompanying me, I'll let her off for now." Lucas Graymore started approaching Tamara.The waitress was beautiful. Otherwise, Lucas wouldn't have taken an interest in her. However, she couldn't hold a candle to Tamara. Naturally, Lucas chose Tamara instead.Tamara's eyes remained cold as she stared at Lucas. "She's a waitress, and her only responsibility is to deliver drinks. If you have other requests, you can contact our hostesses. They are also very beautiful."Lucas looked at her with a lecherous gaze. "Aren't you one, too?"The people inside the private room burst into laughter.Tamara kept her composure. "I am not a hostess. I am the manager of this entire club. It's our honor to have you here, sir, and we will take good care of you."Tamara added, 'Given her inexperience and the harm she caused you, we will take care of all your medical expenses."Lucas leaned back
However, Tamara was sharp and could discern what was happening. Her expression froze. Tamara explained, "The waitress came to deliver their drinks, and Mr. Graymore seemed to have gotten drunk. "He mistook the waitress for a hostess. Then, the waitress accidentally hurt him. So, I came over to handle the situation."Sebastian's cold gaze fell on Lucas. "You made her drink to compensate?"By then, Lucas had sobered up and stammered, "I ... I apologize, Mr. Lynch. I didn't know she was your woman. I ..."Sebastian gave Jerome a cold glance, who immediately kicked Lucas, causing the man to fall to the ground.Jerome huffed. "That lady is the daughter of the Simmons family! Open your eyes and see clearly for yourself!"Lucas fell into a pit of despair and immediately apologized, "I was blind, Ms. Simmons. I'm sorry. I know now that I was wrong ..."Tamara looked at Sebastian. "Are you free today, Mr. Lynch?"The others might not have understood her words, but Sebastian did. A da
