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
"You!" Tamara never expected Sebastian to be so insistent. She flushed a deep red and even felt her ears heating up.Sebastian stared at her in amusement. "What's wrong? Is Ms. Simmons planning to go back on her words?"Tamara pursed her lips. She urged herself to dismiss the matter. It was just a kiss! They had already gone to the next level. A kiss was nothing compared to that. Besides, she was the one who promised to take responsibility for him. Moreover, she was never one to break her promise.She would cut all ties with him once she found the cure for his tastebuds.Tamara took a deep breath and prepared herself mentally before approaching Sebastian.The man cocked an eyebrow and gave her a weird smile.Tamara felt the urge to back out under his intense gaze. But she quickly ground herself and clutched to his shirt, standing on her tiptoes to kiss him.His lips were soft, and his unique scent washed over her.Tamara closed her eyes, feeling her lashes fluttering from ner
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
