What a coincidence. Margot didn't expect Joseph to be there.Tamara walked over and held Margot's hand. "Joseph also just arrived. It's quite a coincidence for you to come one after the other."Joseph smiled faintly. "Is Ms. Zimmerman here to play with Tammy?""Yes." Margot nodded.She turned to Tamara. "Shall we go to your room?"Tamara nodded. "Sure."She glanced at Joseph. "Joseph, you can entertain yourself."Joseph gave her a blank stare. Were they going to leave him behind just like that?He didn't want to join the two girls anyway. So, he didn't argue with them.Once they were in Tamara's room, Margot asked, "Where's Aunt Alex?""My mom is still in the lab," Tamara said. "Don't worry. Just wait here for a while."Margot nodded. "Well, I'm not in a hurry. I also have something to discuss with you and Aunt Alex. Let's wait for her here."Tamara tilted her head in confusion. "Did you meet with the people from Nammu Bay?""Yes." Margot nodded.Tamara immediately aske
Margot didn't realize Joseph's oddity. "Come, let's start another round!"Joseph quickly started another round of the game, effectively putting an end to the awkward topic. They played another three rounds of games, with Tamara leading the way throughout. As long as Tamara was there, they didn't need to do anything. All they needed to do was wait for Tamara to end the opponents.Alex knocked on the door and walked in. She immediately saw how engrossed the three of them were in the game. "I never thought you three would have a common hobby.""Aunt Alex." Just as the round ended, Joseph put away his phone and smiled at Alex. "I have something I want to discuss with you. Are you done with your work?"Alex nodded. "Yes. Come with me."Joseph responded, "Sure."He turned to Tamara and Margot. "Continue without me. I have to talk to Aunt Alex for a bit."Tamara nodded. "Okay."Margot waved at him. "See you later, Joseph."Margot used to call Joseph by his last name, but Joseph fou
Joseph's car came to a stop. He got out and asked, "What's wrong?"Margot looked at him blankly. "I don't know."Joseph sighed. "Come out. I'll give it a look.""Okay." Margot exited the car and walked as Joseph began to busy himself. After a while, he sighed, "The car broke down. You won't be able to drive it for some time. You should call someone to tow the car away."Margot nodded. "Okay."She took out her phone to call Dylan, intending to ask him to come and tow the car away. However, just as she was about to phone Benjamin to pick her up, her phone ran out of battery and shut down.Margot felt speechless. She didn't have any power banks. She felt helpless staring at her dead phone.Joseph patted the dust off his hands. "I'll give you a ride. I'm heading back to Wingdsong Mansion anyway.""Okay." Margot had no choice but to agree. They had just left the Simmons residence. They had yet to reach the city. They were in the wilderness, which was a little scary.Margot sat
Benjamin stayed by Margot's side for the entire night. Margot understood his feelings and allowed him to stick close to her. However, her heart soured. In the future, she might have to leave for a long time. What would he do then?Margot suddenly didn't want to go anymore. However, when she closed her eyes, scenes of Benjamin dying in her past life surfaced in her mind. Somehow, those faded images had grew even more vivid in the past few days.She suspected that it might be related to the people from Nammu Bay. After all, the time at Nammu Bay was her most painful memory.They slept peacefully after that.The next morning, Margot was awakened by a kiss. She was breathing heavily, and her eyes gleamed. When she opened her eyes, she saw Benjamin fervently kissing her.Her heart shook, and she lightly grabbed his clothes.Benjamin immediately opened his eyes and moved away. But his lips were still tightly pressed against hers. "Sorry, I woke you up. I couldn't help myself when I s
"You're here early." Tamara yawned.Alex smiled. "Did you think Margot would be like you? You wake up late every day. I sometimes doubt what you'll do after you enter college."Tamara immediately hugged Alex's arm and whined, "But Mom, school hasn't started yet, right? What's wrong with being lazy for a few more days?"Alex tapped Tamara's forehead lightly. "It's okay. Be as lazy as you want.""Hehe." Tamara laughed innocently.Margot walked in and immediately embraced Alex. "Hello, Aunt Alex."Alex hugged her back. "What's wrong? Do you also want to sleep in every day like her? Then, come over to our house. You two can sleep together."Tamara commented from the side, "But you need Benjamin's permission."Margot immediately huffed. "Of course, Benjamin agreed. Not only did he agree, but he will also come and live with us."Tamara burst out laughing.Alex also giggled. "I welcome both of you wholeheartedly."Margot shook her head. "No, thanks. If Benjamin comes, someone else
Tamara gave Margot a helpless look. "Margot, why don't you just tell him the truth and face the problem together? If you keep this from him, what will he think when he finds out the truth?"Margot firmly shook her head. "No, I don't want to tell him. I don't want him to suffer any more harm."Tamara argued, "But have you ever thought if this is what he wants? He's a man, and a woman is protecting him. He'll definitely be devastated when he finds out about it."Margot grew conflicted.Alex added, "Tammy is right, Margot. You can't keep this from him. You have to find a way, either let him know or keep it a secret forever."Margot's face paled.Tamara held her hand. "Margot, I'm not trying to provoke you, but this is a fact. Both of you have to face it."Margot lowered her eyes. "I know. You're doing this for my own good."Tamara nodded. "Moreover, I won't let you go to Nammu Bay alone. Those people are evil, and I will help you, too."In her previous life, her relatives were ha
Margot's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Benjamin's handsome face. His eyes shone with adoration like a bottomless lake, pulling Margot deep into its depth."But Mr. Inkling, what if our business becomes exceptionally large, to the point where we have to live in different places?" Margot stroked him softly, speaking in a gentle tone.Benjamin huffed. "Then I'll quit. Then, I can be with you all the time."Margot immediately put on a serious expression. "That won't do. I can't afford to support you. You're a pampered rich boy, and your expenses must be huge. You have to earn your own money. Not only that, you have to support me. I'm easier to support."Benjamin was amused. "Alright. Then you'll quit instead and stay by my side. I can support you."Margot shook her head again. "No way. A woman must have her own career to gain her standing in the society. My dream is to open 1999 all over Averdale!""A lofty goal," Benjamin commented. "So, what do you suggest?"Margot smiled,
Benjamin smiled. His face shone with adoration as he said, "In my eyes, you're just a lazy little pig."Margot glared at him in annoyance. "Let's go to the Inkling manor tonight. Grandpa Shane must be missing you."Benjamin's brows furrowed with reluctance. However, he didn't refuse when he saw Margot's bright eyes. "Okay."He had promised Shane before, but it was delayed the last time. This time, he must keep his promise.After lunch, Margot continued to stay in the rest area. She wouldn't disturb Benjamin when he was working, but Benjamin would occasionally come in to check on what she was doing.Seeing her playing games on her phone, Benjamin asked, "Why do you always play this game? Is it fun?"Margot nodded. "It is."As if recalling something, she hurriedly added, "Invest in this game studio quickly. There are already quite a few users. Once the company starts promoting it, it will definitely make a lot of money!"Watching her eyes light up, Benjamin nodded. "Okay, whateve
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
