The next day, Margot woke up early because she was going shopping with Olivia today. When she came downstairs, she saw Barbara sitting on the couch."Good morning, Ms. Winters," Margot greeted her with a smile.Barbara stood up, looking a bit reserved and embarrassed. "I'm sorry for disturbing your rest last night.""It's okay. I wasn't sleeping at that time." Margot smiled faintly. "Have you had breakfast?"Barbara shook her head.Margot said, "Do have breakfast before you leave.""Sure." Barbara nodded.Soon, Benjamin also came downstairs. Barbara glanced at him and leaned over to Margot. She asked in surprise, "Ms. Zimmerman, aren't you living together with Benjamin?"She saw that Benjamin had come out from another room. Was that how it was? Weren't they a couple? They were almost married before. What was going on now?Margot smiled. "Yes, he thinks I'm still young, so there's no rush."Barbara looked at her enviously. "Benjamin is really good to you!"Margot smiled and r
The group stepped out of the villa and saw Lance and Barbara standing outside the door, looking at them. Margot quirked an eyebrow.Barbara stepped forward immediately, offering a gentle smile. "Mrs. Stark, Ms. Zimmerman, are you going out? I've been in Rastone for a while and haven't been around yet. How about we go together?"Olivia nodded. "Sure."Barbara looked at Margot. "Ms. Zimmerman, are you familiar with Rastone? It's my first time here, and I don't know my way around."Margot responded, "I'm not very familiar either, but I did some research before coming here."Barbara looked at her in surprise. "Wow! I didn't know I needed to do research."Margot smiled but remained silent. She couldn't help thinking how long Barbara would keep up with that clueless act.Lance approached them. "Barbara has done some research on theater. I heard that Mrs. Stark enjoys Rastone theater, so we decided to come here."Olivia looked at Barbara in surprise. "You know about theaters?"Barb
Margot couldn't help but smile at the text from Benjamin. But she didn't reply to him. After all, she was here for the show. It was rude to focus on her phone instead. It was noon when the show finished. After they exited the theater, Olivia received a phone call, which she answered with a joyful expression.After hanging up the call, she turned to the others. "My husband and the others are nearby. Let's go meet them."Barbara nodded. "Sure."Margot added, "It's time for lunch too."She couldn't help but wonder if Benjamin came to her rescue, thinking she was bored. The thought only made her feel even more delighted.They arrived at a nearby restaurant and saw Benjamin standing at the entrance."Why are you here?" Margot looked at him in surprise.Benjamin approached her and held her hand with a smile. "I was afraid you might not find the way, so I came to meet you."Margot sighed. "Even if we were to get lost, the driver would have helped."Olivia commented with a smile, "M
Olivia said, "I haven't been to the movies in a long time."Niall piped up, "Then let's go together.""Okay!" Olivia smiled.Annoyance flickered in Lance's eyes, but his smile remained unchanged.During the meal, both Benjamin and Margot kept a low profile. One, it was because they were engrossed with each other, which was why they didn't participate much in the conversation. Two, it was because they wanted to quietly observe Lance's performance.After leaving the restaurant, they headed to the cinema, where Lance had already reserved the tickets.It was a VIP screening room with six seats in total. Each person held their ticket and entered the screening room, finding their seats according to the seat numbers on the tickets.Niall and Olivia sat in the middle, while Lance and Barbara took the two seats on the inner side. Barbara sat next to Niall, and Benjamin sat on the innermost seat. Margot sat next to Olivia, and Benjamin sat beside her.As everyone took their seats, the li
Barbara stood near the door with a determined expression on her face. Niall soon emerged from the restroom. Upon seeing her, his expression remained unchanged.After washing his hands, he started to walk past her.However, Barbara grabbed his arm and put on her feminine charm. She smiled at Niall. "Mr. Stark, my back is feeling uncomfortable. Could you help me figure out what's wrong?"On the other hand, Niall pushed her hand away and calmly stated, "Ms. Winters, you should consult a doctor. I'm not the person you should turn to."His refusal was obvious, and he intended to walk away from her.Barbara bit her lip and suddenly pounced on him, hugging him from behind. "Mr. Stark, won't you help me …"...Back in the screening room, Margot was engrossed in the movie, and her hand was held by Benjamin. Whenever a terrifying scene occurred, he would squeeze her hand tightly.Initially, Margot didn't give it much thought. However, when the scariest scene appeared, her hand was painfu
Back in Londsville, at the Simmons residence, the garden featured a flower pavilion at the end of its stone path. Vines climbed up the columns with vibrant flowers blooming beautifully along them.Tamara, dressed in a light-colored long dress, sat on a bench. Her expression alternated between melancholy and distress as she absentmindedly plucked a flower and twirled it in her hand.Alex, in a blue dress, approached and saw her in this state. She gently smiled. "What's on your mind, Tammy?"Tamara looked at Alex and nestled into Alex's embrace after she had taken a seat. She let out a sigh. "Mom, when will you return to Clacton?"Alex responded, "Why do you ask?"Tamara looked up at her. "Don't you want to go back to Grandma?"Alex smiled gently. "I do want to go back, but not right now.""Then, when?" Tamara was puzzled.Alex said, "When I've resolved things with your father.""Are you getting a divorce?" Tamara asked bluntly.Alex sighed. "I haven't decided yet, which is why
It was a call from Sebastian. While the phone continued to ring, a gentle breeze blew, carrying the scent of flowers. A hint of determination flashed across Tamara's eyes, and she answered the call, "Hello?""Are you busy?" Sebastian's deep voice came through. He sounded cold and indifferent.Tamara replied, "Not at all. Is there something you need?"Sebastian said in a solemn tone, "I've been thinking about your question these past few days. If you want to continue your dreams, it might be related to that."Tamara's face turned red at that. Images of that night flashed through her mind, and her heart began to race.It was something she had been avoiding and trying to forget, but now it was right in front of her. It might even happen again. Sebastian's attitude during their dinner had left her alarmed. His intentions were clear, and their relationship was a complex one.Tamara closed her eyes and remained silent for a while. "Let's … meet in person to discuss this."The line
A faint smile appeared on Jocelyn's youthful face before she turned to leave. Tamara discussed Jocelyn's plan to study abroad with Alex, who had no objections. After all, Jocelyn was still a part of the Simmons family, and she would not be mistreated.The room fell into silence. Tamara looked at Alex and couldn't help but ask, "Mom, do we need to inform Dad about this?"Alex asked, "Do you want to talk to him?"Tamara mumbled, "No, I'm just asking."Jocelyn was still Jacob's granddaughter, and her decision to go abroad would likely require his approval.Alex smiled softly. "If you want to tell him, go ahead. It's okay."Tamara shrugged. Of course, it was okay. Jacob's mind was filled with thoughts of Alex. Whatever she said was okay for him. Why would he reject her request?Tamara stood up. "I'll go and talk to Dad about it.""Sure, go ahead." Alex nodded, lowering her gaze to continue trimming the flowers.It was the evening. Tamara knocked on the door of the study. Jacob h
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
