Sebastian, the Custry family's lost child, was mistaken at birth. But he had no intention of returning to the Custry family. Initially, the Custry family did not agree, but he stood firm. He even held some leverage over the Custry family, forcing them to compromise.Margot was left speechless by Tamara's retelling. "Margot?" Tamara called after a while."I … I'm still here. I'm just too shocked. I knew Sebastian had means, but I didn't expect him to act so decisively!" Margot stammered. With this resolved, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble? In her past life, Sebastian and Tamara were separated partly because of the Custry family and partly because of Elijah. Now, it was different. Tamara had resolved things with Elijah, and Sebastian had dealt with the Custry family. Didn't this mean a bright future for them? Wait …That sounded a bit strange. But that didn't matter! "Congratulations!" Margot immediately exclaimed. "You and Sebastian can enjoy your relationship wholehear
"By the way, Tammy, how confident are you in your exams?" Margot asked.Tamara was eating a grape. She mumbled with her mouth full, "About 80%."Margot looked at her with surprise. "Do you have an 80% chance of achieving a perfect score, or are you talking about going to Clacton?"Tamara looked at her. "What are you talking about? A perfect score? Am I a genius? I'm just 80% confident about going to Clacton."Margot smiled. "I knew it. But you never know. You might end up getting a perfect score."Tamara immediately handed her a grape. "Quick, eat something. Enough with the nonsense."The two of them burst into laughter.The several men on the side each held a wine glass. Sebastian had a calm and composed demeanor, Benjamin had an elegant and charming look, and Joseph appeared cool and collected. They all smiled as they watched the two women laughing.Benjamin turned to speak with Sebastian, but he noticed that Joseph's gaze had been lingering on Margot. It was an emotion every
Sebastian had an air of nobility and coldness in his demeanor. His voice remained as pleasant as ever. "Some families have already started their downfall and can no longer support being part of the big four."Joseph cocked an eyebrow, feeling that Sebastian was acting quite arrogant. In fact, he didn't agree with Tamara's relationship. Yet Tamara had quietly gotten together with Sebastian. When he learned of Sebastian's identity, Joseph decided to test his intentions. However, he never expected that he would be no match for Sebastian. Although they were close in age, he felt like a mere schoolboy when compared to Sebastian.This realization left him frustrated. At the same time, he had to admit that Sebastian was a capable and charismatic individual. Such a person was acceptable as his future brother-in-law.Benjamin asked, "When are you going to transition to Clacton?"Sebastian sighed. "After Tammy's exam results are out.""So you're giving up your friendship for your wife."
"What are you two whispering about?" Benjamin sat next to Margot, his face showing a touch of resentment.Margot blinked at him. "It's just girl talk. Do you want to hear?"Benjamin's eyes sparkled with a hint of amusement as he nodded. "I'll listen if you talk."Both Margot and Tamara fell silent.Tamara had enough of this lovey-dovey act! She immediately said, "Mr. Inkling, why don't you go chat over there? It's been a while since Margot and I met."But Benjamin argued, "I can't bear to be apart from her even for a little while."Tamara gave him a blank look.Margot's cheeks reddened unexpectedly as she glared at Benjamin. "Go away. Don't bother me and Tammy. Also, I'm staying over at Tammy's today.""No.""No!"Two voices sounded at the same time. Benjamin and Sebastian exchanged glances. Benjamin huffed at Margot. "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"Margot shrugged. "Why should I? I'll go wherever I want to go."Benjamin stared at her with a hint of complai
Benjamin's eyes lit up instantly. He waited for her. Margot walked up to him with a playful smile and kissed his cheek. "Here's your goodnight kiss. Sleep well and don't think about me."Benjamin froze. The smile on his face slowly faded as he watched her turn and walk away. Was that … it?Tamara was a little distance away and couldn't contain her laughter. Margot pushed her into the car."Don't laugh. Isn't Mr. Lynch pestering you?" Margot asked.Tamara, her cheeks flushed from laughter, shook her head. "No, he's not as clingy as your Benjamin."Margot fell silent. Fine. Benjamin was indeed a bit too clingy.Turning her head, she saw him still standing there, staring at her in a daze.Margot's heart quivered. She wanted to open the car door and go back out but forced herself against it.It was just one night!If they couldn't be apart for one night, what would they do in the future?Margot reluctantly withdrew her gaze and said to Tamara, "Let's go."Joseph was driving.
It was quiet outside the manor. It was deep at night, and the street lamps were bright. The shadows of the trees stretched across the road while the gentle breeze caused the shadows to sway gently.For some reason, Tamara felt the evening breeze tasted a bit sweet. Her smile widened.When Sebastian saw her approaching, he opened the passenger door for her.Tamara walked over, but she didn't immediately get in. Instead, she looked at him with a playful smile. "Aren't you afraid that Mr. Inkling will make fun of you if he finds out you're here?""Him?" Sebastian's handsome face carried a mocking smile. "We're the same."Tamara quirked an eyebrow as she looked around, but she didn't see any other cars. However, as she turned her head, she was suddenly met with Sebastian's handsome face up close. Her breath quickened, and she couldn't help but take a step back. "Why are you suddenly so close to me?"Her eyelashes trembled, and a faint blush appeared on her face.Sebastian stared
Tamara smiled and leaned in closer. "Aren't you my family?"Sebastian's breath hitched. He swallowed hard as his gaze grew darker.Tamara blinked at him as if she had realized something. She quickly let go of him. "Oh right, you're not. After all, we aren't married ..."She adopted a look of regret. "It seems I won't be able to accompany you to that beautiful seaside town with its meaningful paintings and gorgeous auroras. I'll have to wait for another opportunity."Sebastian chuckled. "You're a tease, Tammy."Tamara snorted. "Sebastian, you were the one who provoked me first." How dare he seduce her? Did he think she was an easy target?Sebastian squeezed her hand. "I'll be boarding a plane in a few hours. Will you keep me company a little longer?"Tamara nodded. "Sure, I'll stay with you."Sebastian continued to gaze at her as if he wanted to see into the depths of her soul....The silent night breeze swept by.Lights shone brightly inside the Simmons residence.Margot
Margot froze. She suppressed her surprise and tried to maintain a calm demeanor. She even managed to smile a little. "Mr. Moore, are you ... trying to flirt with me?"Her reaction was typical of an average woman. It made it seem neither abrupt nor strange.Joseph quickly explained, "No, I didn't mean to flirt. I'm just sharing my feelings."He looked at her earnestly and stood up. The moonlight shimmered in the pool, creating ripples that disturbed the serene night."Ms. Zimmerman, I hope you don't misunderstand. You and Mr. Inkling are a great match, and I won't do anything to make you both uncomfortable." His seriousness made Margot uneasy.She cleared her throat. "Ahem ... Then why are you saying all this?""I don't know." Joseph shook his head. "I just have this sense of familiarity. Since returning to Clacton, I've been dreaming of you every night. And … in the dreams, you're different from the current you." Margot widened her eyes. She was scared shitless! More dreams?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
