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
Joseph glanced at her, his smile fading away. "I knew you wouldn't believe it. But it's okay. I was just speaking my mind. Just think of it as ... me complaining."Margot shook her head. "Mr. Moore, I think it's best not to let dreams affect you too much. After all, it's unrealistic."Joseph nodded. "Alright, I'll consider that."Margot fought the urge to roll her eyes.Why did he need to consider this? Why not just take the advice?Margot was anxious, but she couldn't say anything. Given her current relationship with Joseph, saying too much would raise suspicions.This was difficult.Joseph seemed determined to investigate the place from his dreams. With his abilities, he would eventually find Nammu Bay.What should she do now?She returned to this life to save Benjamin, and she didn't want Joseph to get involved again. Nammu Bay was a cruel and heartless place.Joseph sensed her silence and piped up, "I'm sorry if my words have caused you any trouble. I won't bring this up
Margot groaned."That's exactly what I find strange!"It was very strange! Why was this happening? Her mind was filled with questions.Tamara observed her. "So, what are your plans now?"Margot fell silent. "I want to resolve this matter before he discovers Nammu Bay."Hearing this, Tamara immediately frowned. "Can you do it in your current state?"Margot looked at the calm pool, where the reflection of the moon was gradually being covered by dark clouds. It was like a beast swallowing it whole.She uttered solemnly, "No, but I'll do my best. I don't want the tragedy to happen again. And I don't want him to get involved again."Otherwise, she would never be able to repay her debt to him.Looking at her, Tamara suddenly said, "I'll help you."However, Margot shook her head almost unconsciously. "No. Nammu Bay is my problem, and I want to be the one who solves it. If I accept your help, wouldn't that go against my promise?"Tamara furrowed her brows. "But I'm worried."Margot l
