However, Sebastian had already left. Even if Tamara had her questions, she could only keep them to herself.Tamara prepared herself. Soon, the anticipated day came.“Young Mrs. Lynch,” Austin called out to Tamara once she exited the gate.Tamara smiled at him and typed, “Where is your father, Dr. Beaver?”Austin opened the back seat door for Tamara. “Here you go, Young Mrs. Lynch. My father is home right now.”Tamara nodded and got in the car.After the car started, Tamara glanced back and didn’t say anything.The people were simply carrying out Sebastian’s order to protect her. She also had to watch out for herself. She didn’t mind being followed as long as no harm came to her babies.Throughout the car ride, Austin remained silent and did not strike up a conversation with Tamara. The car came to a stop at an apartment after a 20-minute drive.“This way, please, Young Mrs. Lynch,” said Austin after he locked his car.Tamara nodded and followed Austin upstairs.The neighborh
Tamara was taken aback and turned to Austin. Austin was still indifferent, as always. “Just do as my father says.”Tamara nodded and left with Austin.After they went downstairs, Tamara took out a beautiful box from her bag and gave it to Austin.Austin was caught off guard. “You don’t need to do that Young Mrs. Lynch. My father won’t accept it.Tamara insisted. She typed, “It’s nothing special. Just something to help with getting better sleep.”Austin relented. He took the box upstairs.Tamara placed her hand on her bulging stomach.Her eyes watered. Finally, she could speak.She could talk with her three children and be a normal mother.Tamara used to dream about her life after she gave birth. She couldn’t talk and communicate with her children. She was afraid they wouldn’t know how to speak as well. Tamara was anxious and kept blaming herself for this. She thought about many solutions, but nothing seemed to work.Her dreams always ended with her child being taken away from
Sebastian grabbed Tamara’s hand and pulled her into his embrace. He kissed her fiercely.Tamara was smiling widely. She grabbed his shirt and shyly returned the kiss.“Explain yourself. What were you doing with Austin?” Sebastian asked in a husky voice after he let Tamara go.Tamara fit snugly into his embrace and signed, “Dr. Beaver brought me to see his father.”Sebastian turned cold. “Tamara Simmons.”Sebastian sucked in a deep breath to calm himself.Tamara started signing, “He was only taking me to see his father for a checkup. Didn’t his father look after Grandpa? So, he must be a better doctor. That’s why I went.”Tamara didn’t know why she decided to keep the truth from Sebastian.But that was her decision.Perhaps she can surprise him with this.Tamara was pleased with her decision.Sebastian saw Tamara’s smile and couldn’t help but pinch her cheeks. “You must report to me if you ever hang out with strangers again.”Tamara looked up at him. “Are you still worried e
Jocelyn replied, “Where else could I be but at school?”Tamara replied, “Wait for me.”…Tamara went to Jocelyn’s school. Jocelyn had no trouble transferring in because she had previously attended school in another country. Tamara stood in the shade of a tree at the Londsville University school gate. She saw Jocelyn walking out with an indifferent look.“Oh my God. You’re sending me money in person?” mocked Jocelyn.Although Jocelyn had to rely on Tamara, she could never forgive Tamara for what she did to her family.Tamara pointed to a restaurant not far from them. “Come and have some food with me.”Jocelyn rolled her eyes. “You came here to treat me to some food?”Tamara did not react. She merely walked toward the restaurant.Jocelyn was annoyed. But thinking about her allowance, she had no choice but to follow along.Once inside the restaurant, Tamara ordered some noodles. She turned to Jocelyn, but she declined. “I’m not hungry.”Tamara nodded and took a seat. She star
“Tell me the truth. What happened?” Tamara sat beside Margot and asked seriously.Margot wanted to have some more fun. When she realized Tamara was serious, she stuck her tongue out. “I... I met Benjamin’s parents yesterday.”Tamara widened her eyes in surprise. “You went to meet Benjamin’s parents? When did the two of you get so close?”“It’s not what you think! I always had business ties with the Inkling family. Benjamin’s mother invited me over for a meal. That’s why I went. It was only then that I realized Benjamin’s mother had introduced a girl to Benjamin.” Margot looked slightly down when she recalled Benjamin’s mother’s admiration for the girl. It was as if the girl was her daughter-in-law.Margot was upset, but she didn’t want to admit it.Tamara pinched Margot’s cheeks. “What were you thinking? Didn’t you say a relationship would only come between you and your career? Look at you! Benjamin has taken over your every thought.”Margot blinked up at Tamara but did not deny
“How are things going with the script? I’m so excited to be part of a play. I might even get signed by a famous director for my looks. Then, I’ll be able to be a star,” Margot giggled as she held Tamara’s hand.James rolled his eyes.Margot only got the first part right.Tamara hurriedly signed, “I don’t know her.”James burst out laughing. He motioned for the two to sit and brought them some water. “I’m still working on some parts of the script. I’ll probably need another two days before we can start shooting.”“Two days? That’s too long,” frowned Margot. “I’ll be leaving the country tomorrow.”James was taken aback. “Are you going on a business trip?”“Nope. I’m moving away,” said Margot faintly.James quirked an eyebrow. “That was sudden.”Margot picked up the script and flipped through it. “I’ve planned for this for quite some time now. It will be fun to live in another country for one or two years.”James turned to Tamara. It wasn’t until Tamara nodded that he believed t
Tamara was speechless.Sebastian’s guess was way off.Tamara felt awkward. Sebastian saw Margot and James.Sebastian’s face fell immediately. A cold glint shone in his eyes. “Haha… Are the three of you here for me?”All three of them fell silent.Did Sebastian really have to ask that?Why did he have to make things awkward for everyone?“Are you here on business? We’ll go home together when you’re finished,” Tamara hurriedly signed.Sebastian muttered coldly, “I’m done.”He kept looking at his watch to see what time it was. It was getting close to dinnertime. Sebastian wanted to wrap things up quickly because he thought Tamara would get bored eating alone. He hadn’t expected to see the three of them here.They must be here for a gathering.Sebastian looked annoyed. His cold eyes flicked to Margot and James.Margot felt a shiver run down her spine.Where did the sudden chill come from?Tamara immediately signed, “Then please accompany me for dinner.”Tamara looked so piti
Tamara sat in the passenger seat as Sebastian drove. She looked out the window at the scenery.The night was young, and the lights were bright.Tamara lowered her gaze. She thought of the conversation between James and Margot. “Does Sebastian detest James?”That seemed to be the case.From the beginning, Sebastian never liked Tamara’s interaction with James.Why?Was it because Sebastian was possessive?But Tamara thought Sebastian was being ridiculous.They were just business partners. Not to mention, Tamara believed boys and girls could be just friends.Sebastian seemed to think otherwise.Tamara pondered about this on their way home.Back at Skarrowlilt Grove, Tamara ignored Sebastian and went straight for the bathroom. After her shower, she saw Sebastian sitting on the bed while he stared at her.“What are you thinking about?” asked Sebastian in a low voice.Tamara paused before she shook her head.Sebastian got up and took the towel from Tamara. He began drying her h
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
