Night fell.Margot had been staying at the Simmons residence and hadn't gone to the club. Tamara didn't disturb her. She needed some quiet time alone, after all. Meanwhile, in Aquarine, inside a five-star hotel, Harris held a room card. "Mr. Inkling, here is your room card."Benjamin reached out to adjust his tie. He had just come back from a party. His handsome face carried a hint of laziness, and his captivating eyes narrowed. It glossed over, concealing his thoughts.He took the room card and glanced at it before closing his eyes.The elevator reached the designated floor. As the doors slowly opened, Benjamin walked out.Harris furrowed his brows at Benjamin's retreating figure. He couldn't figure out what was wrong with Benjamin.Was it because he was tired from socializing? He seemed absent-minded even when he was at the party. Did he remember something?Harris hurriedly caught up in a worry. "Are you not feeling well, Mr. Inkling?"Benjamin glanced at him. "Do I look li
Benjamin's brows furrowed tightly. He scanned the hotel room, carefully examining every corner, but found nothing suspicious.What was going on? Who was speaking just now?Benjamin's expression darkened. He stood in place and strained his ears, only to find that the voice from before was an illusion. It was as if it had never occurred.Benjamin closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose before entering the bathroom.He had a busy day and was quite tired. Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.He had a dream.In the dream, everything was pitch-black, with only a bright light above his head. He looked around bewilderedly.He tentatively took a step forward, and another light appeared in front of him. And under that light stood a person.He could see the other person's face. Surprisingly, it looked exactly like him!Benjamin's brows furrowed. "Who are you?"The person across from him looked at him coldly. "You are a fool."Benjamin stared at him in confusion. "Who are you exa
Tamara giggled. "Very well. Let's drink until we drop."Natasha immediately raised her glass. "Let's!"The three ladies had a blast, and they only went home late at night.Sebastian was waiting outside for Tamara. When he saw the drunken state she was in, his brows furrowed. He stepped forward and pulled Tamara into his arms. He whispered, "How much drink did you have?"Tamara giggled. "No, I didn't have much. Just a little …"She gestured with her hands, and her eyes glossed over. She looked fragile yet alluring. Sebastian carried her straight to the car.Margot and Natasha were helping each other up. Natasha couldn't help but giggle when she saw the couple. "Mr. Lynch is smitten."Margot chuckled. "That's nothing."Natasha stumbled a little to look at her. "What are you talking about?"Margot changed the subject. "Do you have anyone to send you home?"Natasha hesitated before nodding. "Yes. Jack is coming to pick me up."Margot burped. "You seem to be getting along well
Three days later, after the business at Aquarine was done, Benjamin flew to Clacton. Sebastian was at the airport waiting for him.He cocked his brows. "It's my honor to have Mr. Lynch pick me up from the airport."Sebastian glanced at him. "Enough with the bullshit. Get in."Benjamin chuckled. "What's wrong? What crawled up your ass and died? I think you should find yourself a girlfriend. You'll always be an angry gremlin if you're single. See? As your friend, you're always venting out your anger on me."Sebastian stared at him.Benjamin furrowed his brows. "What are you looking at?"Sebastian shook his head. "Get in the car."Benjamin gave him a weird look as he got in the car. "You seem off today."Sebastian remained silent and indifferent.Benjamin was used to it. He muttered to himself, "I was just gone for half a month. Why do I feel like you've changed a lot?"Still, Sebastian didn't answer.The driver started the car and left the airport. Soon, they arrived at a rest
Tamara's brows knitted tightly together when she saw Kayla.Benjamin was shocked. "Kayla? Why are you here?"Kayla widened her eyes slightly. She was about to respond before she shook her head and left instead."Hey! Where are you going?" Benjamin was taken aback.Tamara pursed her lips and stared coldly at him. "Are you trying to hit on her, Mr. Inkling?"Benjamin paused and tilted his head slightly. "Why do you care, Ms. Simmons?"He wasn't close to her. Why was she questioning him?He turned to Sebastian with a darkened gaze. He had to tell Sebastian that this woman was not worth it. He wasn't even friends with her, and she was already getting all up in his business. What was going to happen if Sebastian and Tamara got married?Sebastian glared coldly back, and Benjamin immediately retracted his gaze.Tamara realized her mistake and smiled. "I didn't mean anything by it, Mr. Inkling. I just thought you should relax since you just landed in Clacton. You can always make frien
Benjamin only started to change after he met Margot.Tamara froze with a tense expression.Sebastian stared at her and whispered comfortingly, "Calm down. I will have someone keep an eye out for Kayla. She won't be able to cause us any trouble."Tamara nodded. "I need to keep an eye on Benjamin for Margot's sake."If Margot came back and learned that Benjamin and Kayla had gotten together, how heartbroken would she be? Everything she did would go to waste. No one could handle that much pain.…Meanwhile, inside the restaurant, Kayla stared nervously at Benjamin and muttered, "Why are you here?"Benjamin chuckled. "Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? You haven't answered me yet. Why did you run away earlier? Do I look like a demon?"Kayla's heart was threatening to jump out of her chest. The familiar feeling was sweeping over her again.Benjamin used to converse with her this way.Kayla calmed herself down. "I'm working here."Benjamin cocked a brow. "Why? Didn't you say
Benjamin cocked a brow in shock. "Since when were you interested in people's relationships?"Sebastian stared at him calmly. "You're not just anyone."Benjamin paused before he shook his head frantically. "Don't! I don't want to have a special place in your heart."Sebastian stared coldly at him.Benjamin chuckled. "You're in a relationship now, so you should focus on yourself. I know what to do."Sebastian had no choice but to let it go.Tamara pursed her lips and was about to speak up when Sebastian glanced at her. She bit back her words.Tamara told herself to calm down. She had to keep it in. She had to find out Benjamin's thoughts on this first.The car stopped in front of a hotel owned by the Custry Cooperation. Benjamin would be staying here during his time in Clacton.Benjamin exited the car and said to the couple, "You don't have to send me up. I will have to rest a bit. Let's meet up for dinner."Sebastian said, "Sure."Benjamin waved goodbye and went upstairs.Ta
Realizing his thoughts, Benjamin threw his phone onto the bed and ignored the text.In the evening, Sebastian drove to the hotel and saw Benjamin coming out, looking refreshed. Sebastian cocked his brows.The car door opened, and Benjamin got in. He looked surprised. "Where's your girlfriend?"Sebastian's expression was cold. "She has something to do and couldn't make it."Benjamin chuckled. "Alright, I don't know how to act with her around. But Seb, why do I feel like she has some hostility toward me? Did I offend her?"Sebastian started the car with a cold expression and drove toward the restaurant. He glanced at Benjamin coolly. "You're taking yourself too seriously."Benjamin's expression froze. He couldn't believe his ears. "How can you say that? I'm your best friend. Now, you're disregarding my feelings for the sake of your girlfriend. You wound me with your words."Sebastian's face darkened. "Get out of the car."Benjamin immediately put on a smile teasingly. "Haha, I'm
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
