Margot smiled at Benjamin and started eating. The atmosphere at the dining table was a mixture of warmth and awkwardness. Margot alternated between giving food to Benjamin and Shane, creating a pleasant and cheerful atmosphere.Shane's attitude toward Margot had improved. After the meal, his stance became even clearer.After dinner, they gathered in the living room. Benjamin was playing with his phone. Shane frowned. "Benjamin."Benjamin looked up at him indifferently.Shane scolded, "Did you come home just to play with your phone?"Benjamin raised an eyebrow. "What else would I do? Argue with you?"Shane was at a loss for words. It was true. They often ended up arguing after just a few words.Shane genuinely cared for Benjamin and hoped to see him succeed, which was why he had made every effort to involve him in Inkling Corporation. Now, with Benjamin's achievements, Shane's expectations for him had grown.Though Benjamin and Lance were brothers, Lance was a bastard son. He
Malicious thoughts began to take root in Lance's heart. He didn't attempt to suppress them. Instead, he allowed them to grow unchecked.…Sitting in the car, Margot turned to Benjamin. "Grandpa Shane still cares a lot about you."Benjamin's hands loosely gripped the steering wheel, and his fingers looked quite attractive. He wore a laid-back expression as he hummed. "So what?"Margot gazed at him. "I was just speaking out loud. You know I grew up in an orphanage without parents, so I don't know what it feels like to be cared for by family."Benjamin glanced at her and held her hand. "From now on, I'm your closest family."Margot smiled. "I'm not telling you this to make you feel sorry for me. I'm just stating a fact and reminding you to cherish the family you have now. Don't regret it after you lose them."Benjamin playfully poked her nose and chuckled. "Your lectures are truly something."Margot huffed. "Of course. Don't forget who I am!"Benjamin laughed heartily.Upon thei
Tamara fell silent. "Because once I accepted them, I realized that I've learned things even the me in the dreams didn't know."Margot quirked an eyebrow in surprise. "Oh? What do you mean?"Tamara glanced at the floor indicator. Soon, the elevator doors opened, and she walked out first.Margot followed her, her curiosity growing with every passing moment.Once they reached the wine cellar, Tamara closed the door behind them. She poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of Margot. "Have a seat and listen."Margot took a seat, her face filled with eagerness. "Stop with the riddles and tell me."Tamara's eyelashes trembled. "We were apart for four years. I found out about his situation and the struggles he faced within the Custry family."Margot listened attentively. She was quite curious. In her previous life, Sebastian took control of Custry Corporation in just four years. Even Hugo and Sandy were afraid of him. His methods were ruthless and relentless. But he barely mention
Tamara hugged Margot for a while before finally letting her go. "Regrets! You just mentioned making up for regrets. I believe that the reason Sebastian and I are dreaming about our past lives is to make up for the regrets we had back then."In the dream world, she and Sebastian had never dated and were forced into a marriage. They had experienced many twists and turns along the way, and their relationship was far from perfect.Margot looked at her. "And I thought it was something serious. So it was this all along."Tamara nodded. "I didn't understand it before, but now I do. Thank you, Margot."Margot laughed. "What are you thanking me for? You figured it out on your own. It has nothing to do with me."Tamara, however, shook her head. "No, I still want to thank you.""Fine." Margot relented. She didn't want to make a big deal out of it. What was important was that Tamara had found peace of mind.Margot had already thought about it before. Tamara's resistance was likely due to th
Margot pushed open the door of the VIP room and was greeted by the intimate scene. Her eyes widened, and she stood frozen in the doorway.As Benjamin pulled Kayla into his embrace, he sensed that something was wrong. He abruptly released her and opened his eyes. It was then he saw Margot entering the room. His breathing hitched, and he immediately stood up to walk toward her. "Margot, let me explain ..." Margot smiled. She had been briefly startled but quickly regained her composure. She walked inside the room. "There's no need to explain. I trust you."She had only been distracted, and some images from their past lives briefly flashed in her mind. She saw scenes of Benjamin and Kayla being together. Her heart ached from the memory, but it was only for a brief moment.Benjamin didn't love Kayla, and she was certain of that.Benjamin anxiously took her hand, observing her expression closely. He seemed to be confirming whether she genuinely believed him.After a while and seeing
Kayla's hands clutched the tray tightly, and her knuckles even turned white from the force. Resentment flashed in her eyes as she left the VIP room.Margot took in Kayla's expression. A cold look flickered in her eyes before it quickly disappeared. "Alright, we'll always be together. Isn't trusting each other the most basic thing to do?" She was struggling to catch her breath as Benjamin continued to hold her.Smiling, Benjamin released her. "What did you and Tamara talk about?"Margot, however, playfully smiled. "Boys shouldn't inquire about girl talk. It's a secret!"Benjamin led her to the couch, where he wrapped his arms around her waist. He rested his head on her shoulder. He resembled a big puppy nestled in Margot's embrace."Fine. Hold me. I'm going to take a nap," he said with a muffled voice.Margot nodded. "Sure. Go to sleep."The VIP room had dim lighting. With the soft woman in his arms, Benjamin soon fell asleep. This position seemed to make him comfortable, and h
"Alright, I promise." Smiling, Margot nodded."Good girl." Benjamin kissed her nose and got up, pulling her to her feet. "Do you want to go outside and check things out?"Margot shook her head. "No, I want to stay with you."Benjamin chuckled. "But didn't you say you haven't been back for a long time and want to visit?"Margot huffed. "One has to learn to take a break amid busyness. It's what people call 'slacking off'.""Slacking off?" Benjamin cocked an eyebrow. "I like that term."Smiling, Margot was about to reply when her phone rang."Hello?" She took out her phone. It was a call from the manager on the sixth floor.The manager exclaimed, "Boss, please come down and take a look. A group of people is causing trouble because of one of our servers. The situation is getting out of control."Margot's brows furrowed. "Alright, I'm on my way."She hung up the phone and turned to Benjamin. "Are you coming with me, or do you want to wait here for me?"Benjamin hummed. "I'll come
Margot's brows furrowed. Before she could retort, a figure dashed out from beside her. This person grabbed a wine bottle from the table and swung it down at Steve's head.A loud bang echoed through the room. Steve immediately sobered up and clutched his head.Lucas, who was on the side, was equally stunned. He stared at the scene in disbelief.Benjamin tossed the bottle away, his handsome face turning cold. He hissed sharply. "I dare you to say that again."Margot was also surprised. She quickly stepped forward, asking, "How are you? Are you hurt?"Benjamin's face softened at her reaction. He smiled as he assured her, "I'm fine."Steve glared at Benjamin and cursed through clenched teeth, "How dare you hit me! I'll fucking kill you!"With that, he grabbed a wine bottle and swung it toward Benjamin.Lucas also came back to his senses and rushed toward Benjamin.The situation was rapidly spiraling out of control.Margot paled, and she instinctively stepped in front of Benjamin.
