Benjamin walked toward the two, a playful smile appearing on his handsome face.Shane widened his eyes in surprise.Were all kids this bold? Benjamin was going to approach them directly. Wouldn't he feel awkward?Shane leaned on his cane as he trembled with anger. Benjamin shouldn't be acting this way."What a coincidence," Benjamin said as he stopped in front of the two.His charming eyes shone with amusement. He glanced at the distance between Solomon and Margot, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes."What a coincidence, Mr. Inkling," Solomon greeted with a friendly smile.Margot looked at Benjamin with surprise. Didn't he say he was busy? Why was he here?Benjamin hummed. "I was having lunch with my grandfather. Do you want to meet him?"He was explaining to Margot, but the second part of his statement made Solomon furrow his brows.What was Benjamin doing? Did he want Margot to meet his family? What was the relationship between them?Margot's beautiful eyes flickere
Benjamin gave Shane a weird smile. Since things had come to this point, he doubted Shane would stay to cause trouble with his sarcastic remarks.Shane must be pissed beyond words!"I'm tired and will be taking my leave," Shane said with an unpleasant expression. He turned around and left.Just then, Solomon spoke up, "Mr. Inkling, is it safe for your grandfather to go home alone?"Benjamin glanced at him. "Since you're so worried, how about you send him home yourself?"Solomon fell silent.Margot's eyes flickered with surprise. She didn't expect Benjamin to be this blunt.He had already laid out two choices for Solomon. It was up to the latter to decide his next move. From his choice, they could see if Solomon was really worried about Shane or if he was just putting on an act.Solomon offered a small smile. "But if I accompany him back, he would have to entertain me as his guest. Wouldn't that drain him further?"The tables had turned.Benjamin remained unfazed. "It's fine. I
Margot observed the two men. It took everything in her to bite back the smile and put on a cold facade."I've been out for a long time and haven't taken my medicine yet. I'll be going home now."The two men spoke simultaneously, "I'll give you a lift."Solomon smiled. "Mr. Inkling, don't you need to go back and check on Shane? I think I should take Margot home."However, Benjamin sneered and looked at Margot with his charming eyes. "I happen to be going back to get something. It'll be on the way."Margot quirked a brow and nodded. "Indeed, it is on the way."Solomon could tell there were more than met the eye. He tried to decipher the hidden messages. However, he knew that if they continued the standoff, Margot would not be able to leave.She was his priority now."In that case, I'll leave Margot to you. Please be careful, Mr. Inkling." Solomon gave a curt nod."Of course," Benjamin responded indifferently, then led Margot out. His car was parked outside.Solomon narrowed his
"Do you want to be in a relationship with me, Margot?" Benjamin asked.Benjamin's heart sank when his question was met by silence. He stared at Margot closely, not missing any shift in her expression. Margot extended her hand. "I leave myself in your care, Mr. Inkling."Benjamin's eyes twinkled with excitement. He held Margot's hand as his smile grew bigger.He looked as happy as a child on Christmas day!This amused Margot. She had never seen this side of Benjamin before."So, can my boyfriend take me home?" Margot winked at him.Benjamin restarted the car. "My pleasure."The two were progressing very quickly. When Tamara heard the news, her jaw dropped in shock."You always manage to surprise me, Margot," Tamara muttered gloomily.Margot scratched her nose. "It caught me off guard, too. But what can I do? That was just how things turned out."Tamara asked, "Did he get his memories back?""No." Margot frowned. "I've tried many ways, but his memory is like a password-locke
Margot sat on the couch with a dazed look. She had never thought it would happen so soon.This was real. The truth was in front of her—she was married to Benjamin. They were husband and wife.Her heart raced, and blood rushed to her head.Seeing Margot's dazed look, Benjamin walked over and sat beside her. "What's wrong? Are you thinking of backing out?"Grievance and helplessness appeared on Benjamin's face. He looked like a kicked puppy.Margot shook her head. "No, I just ..."But Benjamin held her hand. "Don't doubt it. We did get married. We are now husband and wife, Margot. From now on, we are one."Margot stared at Benjamin's handsome face, thinking about the memories he had lost. What if he recovered his memories? Would he be angry? After all, she had told a huge lie. Yet they got married as soon as she came back.Benjamin grew nervous when he saw her frowning. "Please tell me what's wrong."Margot shook her head. "It's nothing. I'm just a bit excited. Let me calm down.
"Tammy, what kind of wedding did you and Sebastian have in your past life?" Margot asked while looking at various wedding planning proposals.Tamara fell silent. She wanted to end the call. She had just learned about the marriage a few days ago, and now they were already researching weddings! Was Margot really planning to give birth to a football team?Tamara shivered and remained silent for a moment. "My wedding with Sebastian ..."She briefly recounted the first part of her wedding. After all, there wasn't a need to continue and finish the wedding without Margot there.Margot fell silent after listening. "I see."Tamara asked, "What do you plan to do?"Margot said, "I'll have to think about it. I'll let you know when I've decided.""Okay." Tamara nodded.After hanging up the phone, Margot gathered the wedding planning proposals and walked to the balcony. She couldn't help but think of the dream she had before. Someone was vaguely telling her that Tamara didn't end her wed
Shane stood in the living room, his aged face filled with anger as he glared at Benjamin. Seeing Benjamin's carefree look, Shane couldn't help but feel powerless. What could he do? Benjamin and Margot were already married. Was he supposed to ask them to get a divorce? Besides, would Benjamin even listen to him?Benjamin planned to have a fait accompli. He had always been decisive. Benjamin pulled Margot in by the hand and said to her, "Come on, greet him."Margot smiled. "Hello, Grandpa Shane."There was even a hint of mockery in her eyes.Shane was furious! Yet there was nothing he could do.Benjamin liked Margot. Even without his memories, he still treated her like a precious piece of jewelry.Seeing Shane's solemn face, Benjamin said to Margot, "Don't mind him. He just has a bad temper, and he's going through andropause.""Who told you I was going through andropause?" Shane was once again infuriated.Margot nodded. "I understand."Shane gritted his teeth. What was there
Margot felt helpless.Benjamin held her hand. When he saw her deadpan look, his smile deepened. "Margot is quite weak right now. We need to wait until she gets better."Shane asked, "What's wrong with Ms. Zimmerman's health?" Margot was still a lively brat before. Why did she suddenly become so weak?Margot responded, "I just feel a little sick. I'll be fine after some rest."Shane narrowed his eyes. "Will it affect the next generation? If it does, I think ...""Grandpa," Benjamin's stern voice sounded. "I didn't marry Margot because I wanted kids."Shane glanced at him. "What's this? I showed you some leverage, yet you're still overstepping my boundaries. Can I not have an opinion?"Benjamin fell silent.Shane snorted and left for the other room. He was furious.Margot couldn't help but smile. When Benjamin saw this, he asked, "Aren't you angry?""Not at all." Margot shook her head. "Grandpa Shane is quite cute."Benjamin widened his eyes slightly. "You think he's cute ev
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
