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
"Alright, I won't argue with you. What do you want for dinner? Let the kitchen know if you're craving for anything." Shane's anger quickly faded from his face.Benjamin shrugged. "Nothing. I'm fine with anything."Shane chuckled. "You talk as if you're easy to take care of."Benjamin cocked an eyebrow, "Am I not easy to take care of?"Shane immediately retorted, "I've never seen a child as picky as you. You don't eat onions, coriander, fatty meat, or seafood. Tell me, what exactly do you eat?"Benjamin argued, "You call that being picky? Old man, are you deliberately exposing my flaws?"Shane snorted. "I want to let Margot know the kind of person you are!"Margot watched with a smile. She could sense that Benjamin had indeed grown closer to Shane, and Shane's words confirmed that he cared for Benjamin. Otherwise, how could he remember Benjamin's likes and dislikes?This was great! The banter between the two continued for a while. Soon, a maid came over. "Mr. Shane, Mr. Benjam
Margot glanced at Benjamin, but he continued to eat as if nothing happened.She couldn't help but laugh. Was he that hell-bent on ignoring Victoria?Victoria couldn't pose any real threat now. She just wanted to show goodwill. It was evident that Benjamin didn't want to accept it. Seeing that they completely ignored her, Victoria couldn't help but feel a bit resentful. After all, she was the mistress of the Inkling family, and the Inkling family held a prominent position in Londsville. Everyone would rush to flatter and fawn over her whenever she went out. She had never been ignored before. However, she couldn't do anything about it. They held the upper hand, and all she and Lance could do was endure. Their opponents held the leverage, and they could only behave cautiously.Lance wanted to leave. He couldn't tolerate being treated like this. After all, he was also a son of the Inkling family. How could he endure such humiliation?However, Victoria insisted on staying until they
Benjamin could only feel how small and soft Margot's hand was. The pinch didn't hurt, and it was more like a tickle.He smiled devilishly. "I don't dare to. I won't do it again."He was quick to surrender.Margot withdrew her hand, and the two left the Inkling manor together.Sitting in the car and looking at the scenery outside, a hint of melancholy flashed in Margot's eyes.Thinking about her imminent departure and the possibility that Benjamin might forget her, she felt a bit uneasy. Would Benjamin still be as eager to pursue her upon her return?But it didn't matter. Even if he didn't pursue her, she would find her way to him.Benjamin, seeing her lost in thought, piped up, "What are you thinking about?"Margot merely replied him with another question. "Can you accompany me to the amusement park tomorrow?"Benjamin nodded. "Of course."Margot smiled. "You've been busy these past few days. Besides, we haven't been to the amusement park together."Benjamin looked at her
How could Benjamin not have thought about it? He had even thought about more outrageous things. However, he was afraid of scaring Margot, so he had to endure it. He wanted to take the final step when they got married.Benjamin's eyes flickered. Then, he smiled and said, "Margot, won't you be a good girl and listen to me?"Despite his words, his voice carried a tender tone. It was as if he aimed to melt her with its warmth.Margot surrendered. She wasn't his match. She decided to drop the idea. There was no rush, after all. After she dealt with her matters, she would come back and get married to him. Then, they could do whatever they wanted openly after that."I want to watch a superhero movie." Margot walked over and nestled in his arms."Sure." Benjamin hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. He quickly found the movie she wanted to watch.The room dimmed, leaving only the flickering images on the TV screen, reflecting the expressions of the two—intimate and dependent....
Margot looked at Benjamin and whispered, "It's a good opportunity for you to learn how to take photos."Benjamin fell silent. He looked at her with a half-smile. "So, you just need a boyfriend who knows how to take photos?""No," Margot immediately clarified. "I just need you. So, it doesn't matter if you can take photos or not. Of course, it's good to pick up an extra skill. And it's better if you can take good photos."Benjamin pouted. Margot certainly had a way with words."Come on, let's go on the roller coaster!" Margot pulled Benjamin toward the direction of the roller coaster.Benjamin's mouth twitched uncontrollably. Was it a good idea to play something so thrilling right after coming in?"Margot, do you want some tea?" Benjamin asked as they approached the area with the roller coaster.Margot glanced at him and suddenly nodded. "Sure, let's have some tea. You go buy it for me.""Okay." Benjamin turned around and went to buy the tea.Margot couldn't help but laugh at h
