As the kiss ended, a blush tinted Margot's cheeks. Her eyes held a hint of bewilderment, and she shivered slightly. "Uh ... it's a bit cold. Let's go."Benjamin smiled. "Didn't you feel cold when you were dancing just now?"Margot shook her head. "Dancing was a warm-up exercise. I didn't feel cold at all."Benjamin continued to embrace her as they stood up and left the restaurant. "Where to next?"Margot smiled. "Home."Benjamin cocked an eyebrow. "It's still early, and we're going home already?"Margot shrugged. "It's a beautiful night. Shouldn't we spend it at home?"Under Margot's twinkling gaze, Benjamin was at a loss for words.After exiting the restaurant, Benjamin's phone rang. He checked it and said to Margot, "It's Seb."Margot said, "Answer it."Benjamin answered the call, saying, "Hello?"Sebastian asked, "Where are you?"Benjamin chuckled. "What's the matter?"Sebastian huffed. "Come to 1999 for a drink."Benjamin glanced at Margot. "Why should I drink with yo
"This is great!" Someone immediately cheered, and others followed suit. They began hollering at Benjamin and Margot.Margot grasped Benjamin's hand excitedly. "This sounds fun! I want to play!"Benjamin narrowed his eyes threateningly at the person with the cherry. "You better behave. I won't spare you if you play any tricks.""Don't worry, you're the star tonight. I wouldn't dare mess with you." The person quickly reassured him with a smile.Benjamin and Margot sat in the chairs that had already been arranged. The person with the cherry approached, holding the string that suspended the cherry between them."Lean in closer!""Closer! Even closer!"The surrounding crowd started to cheer.Benjamin and Margot leaned in, approaching the cherry right before them.Margot blinked at Benjamin playfully while Benjamin's smile deepened."Alright, let's begin!" The person yelled, and the two leaned toward the cherry together.However, just as they were about to bite the cherry, it was
Margot looked at Tamara in surprise. "Tammy, are you trying to make a fool out of me?"Tamara smiled mischievously. "Why would I? I just thought it was a good day today, and it wouldn't be fair to let Benjamin's birthday pass without doing something."The corners of Margot's mouth twitched. "Fine, what kind of trouble do you have in mind for us?"Tamara walked over and hooked her arm with hers. "How could I bear to cause trouble for you? I thought of a game to test your boyfriend's strength."Margot became interested. "Tell me. What game do you have in mind?"Benjamin suddenly had a bad feeling about this. He looked at Sebastian. "Aren't you going to do something about this?"Sebastian shrugged. "Why should I intervene?"Benjamin gritted his teeth. "You're a terrible friend!"What a traitor!Natasha urged, "Come on, tell us. The suspense is killing me."Tamara smiled at Benjamin. "The rules of this game are simple. Benjamin will do push-ups, and Margot will sit on his back. W
Seeing that teasing Benjamin and Sebastian wasn't effective, and with time passing quickly, some people shifted their attention to Tamara and Margot.Someone took out a fake spider and threw it at Tamara's feet. "Tamara, what's under your foot?"Tamara remained unfazed. Someone blew bubbles toward Margot, who simply closed her eyes.Just then, Natasha began the countdown."10, 9, 8, 7 ..."Suddenly, someone took out a box and handed it to Tamara. "Tamara, take a look at what's inside. It seems to be from Sebastian's clothes. Did he prepare a gift for you?"Tamara opened her eyes at this. She took the square box and opened it. Suddenly, a lizard-like creature jumped out.Tamara was startled and immediately leaned back. Sebastian's back tensed, and he lay down to hug Tamara."6, 5, 4 ..."Just when the countdown was about to end, the sound of a balloon being burst rang out.Natasha's voice stopped, and she exclaimed, "Benjamin won!"Benjamin stopped, and Margot got off his bac
The three ladies burst into laughter.As time passed, the night sky became adorned with sparkling stars. Benjamin drank his last glass of wine and addressed everyone, "We still have some time before the day ends, and I want to spend it with Margot. So, I'll be taking my leave now. Have fun without us."The others immediately teased, "Wow, it seems Benjamin has something more important to do.""Have a pleasant night, Benjamin!"Sebastian also stood up. "I have to send Tammy home. Do continue without us."The crowd fell silent. Why were the two of them so synchronized all of a sudden?Joseph cocked an eyebrow. "Since that's the case, I'll leave too. I have an early flight tomorrow.""Sure, let's go together." Benjamin smiled and walked over to Margot. He put his arm around her waist and pecked her on the cheek. "Let's go home."Smelling the strong scent of alcohol, Margot immediately looked at Tamara. "Tammy, give me one of your sobering scented tea leaves quickly. He drank too m
Benjamin walked in and looked at each photo. The smile plastered across his face deepened with each one. When he finished looking at all the pictures, his gaze fell on Margot, who was holding a cake in her hands.The candles on the cake flickered, and her beautiful face was adorned with a bright smile. She walked up to him. "Make a wish."Benjamin took the cake and placed it on the dining table. Then, he took her hand and sat her beside him. "Let's make a wish together.""Sure." Margot nodded.Both of them closed their eyes and clasped their hands together. After about ten seconds, Margot opened her eyes. She saw Benjamin smiling at her.Her nose prickled again, and she asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Did you make a wish?""Yes, I did." Benjamin nodded.Margot giggled. "Then, blow out the candles.""Let's blow them out together," suggested Benjamin.Margot nodded, and both of them leaned in toward the cake. They blew out the candles together."Happy birthday!" Ma
Shane's hoarse voice came through the phone. "There's a project in Aquarine that needs someone to oversee the entire process. You should head there."Benjamin scoffed, "Why not let Lance go instead? Didn't you always favor him?"However, Shane fell silent, and the line went eerily quiet.Benjamin furrowed his brows. "Hello?"After a while, Shane's voice came back, "You should go. I have fired Lance."Benjamin cocked an eyebrow in surprise. Strange. Shane had always strived to treat he and Lance as equals. Even if he and Lance fought every second of their lives, Shane wouldn't step in. Yet now he was saying that he fired Lance?Benjamin wanted to ask about it, but the call had already ended.Benjamin found it interesting. He chuckled and went into the bathroom.That dazed feeling swept over him again when he came out, and his brows furrowed.Just then, the doorbell rang.He looked abruptly at the door, feeling that the visitor should be a woman. However, as he opened the door,
"Alright, let's get in the car first." Tamara patted Margot's back.Margot nodded and was pushed into the passenger seat by Tamara.Tamara also got in the car before they drove away. Just then, a car arrived and stopped at the entrance of the residential area. The door opened, and Benjamin got out of the car. He stood at the entrance, looking at the bustling area with a dazed look on his handsome face.Harris got out of the car. "What's wrong, Mr. Inkling?"Benjamin muttered, "I don't know."He didn't know what was wrong with him. When he left, he seemed to have seen a slender figure dragging a suitcase. The figure was too far away, and he couldn't make out the person's face.As the car moved farther away, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart grew stronger. He urgently wanted to go back and see that girl.So he asked Harris to turn the car back, but no one was there. There was no figure dragging a suitcase. Were his eyes playing tricks on him? But what was with the strong fe
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
