She looked at Benjamin with wide eyes. “What the hell are you saying? It’s not like I actually like you!”That bastard’s audacity was astounding! Did he have no sense of shame?He didn’t just restrict Margot’s travels; he also kept himself hidden from her to come here and meet this bitch!Margot scoffed inwardly. She would never fall for someone like him!When Benjamin noticed how aggravated Margot seemed, a mischievous smile appeared on his handsome face. “That won’t be a problem. I’ll like you enough to make up for it.”Margot blushed a fierce red at that.Every move this man made was unexpected.“Benjamin Inkling, stop spouting nonsense. I need to discuss something with you.” Upon being reminded of the fact that the man had restricted her from traveling, she became furious.Benjamin cocked a brow. “Go ahead.”Margot turned toward Eugenia. “Can’t you tell that we’re about to start flirting? Scram!”Eugenia was rendered silent.That shouldn’t have been how the situation t
Benjamin’s lips curled into a smile as he noticed how obedient Margot had become. “You look exactly the same as you did when you were younger. I really like this expression on you.”Margot did not know what to reply.The man was so strange.Benjamin had never once brought up anything related to their past when they first ran into each other as adults. Margot assumed the man had simply forgotten.It appeared that that was not the case.However, she still found it peculiar that the man had never once mentioned their past in passing.“Benjamin, do you have a split personality or something? Whatever it is, stop. I need to know why you restricted my travels.” The way Benjamin was acting bothered Margot. She felt strange about it.Benjamin frowned. “If I didn’t do that, you would have left me ages ago.”Margot was silent for a moment before she said, “You haven’t fallen for me for real, have you?”Benjamin nodded. “I have. I really like you, and I like sleeping with you too.”For a
The nurse looked at Margot. “Miss, is your head alright?”Margot replied, “Nothing’s wrong. Thank you.”The nurse was silent.Margot looked to be clear of injuries. However, after she had asked the question…The nurse turned on her heel and walked away.Margot glared at James with disdain. What possessed her to ask James such a dumb question, anyway?The man was an heir to a wealthy family, not a doctor.Margot decided to ask a doctor the question later on.James looked at her funnily and asked, “Have you been reading too many novels?”Margot was annoyed. “Whatever, let’s stop talking about that. It’s not like you would get it, anyway.”James did not follow that up with anything.A strange silence enveloped the ward all of a sudden.At this moment, a melodious ringtone rang out.Margot looked down at her phone and saw that Benjamin was calling her.Her lips twitched at that sight. It turned out that the man had been true to his word.“Something has come up. I’m going to
Austin examined Tamara after she returned home to Skarrowlilt Grove. Only after making sure she was okay did everyone start to relax.Once everyone left the bedroom, Sebastian sat next to her with a frown. “Didn’t I tell you to wait for me at home?”Tamara felt herself grow guilty.Could she be open and honest and tell him she’d gone out to spite him?She hadn’t anticipated it to end up in such a mess.Upon noticing how Tamara kept averting his gaze, Sebastian instantly understood why she had done what she did.“You’re currently pregnant, so I’m not going to yell at you. But once you give birth to our baby, I’ll give you hell for this.”Sebastian took her hand in his and gave her a threatening look.Tamara did not respond.She felt warmed by the man’s actions.“I’m going to wash up,” she signed.Tamara got up and removed Sebastian’s hand from hers to head toward the washroom.Suddenly, she froze. Her gut told her that she had forgotten something important.That’s right. Sh
Sebastian was lying.Why was he hiding the content of his conversation with Old Mr. Lynch?Could they be discussing what the old man had previously discussed with her? Was it about the future nanny?If that were the case, and Sebastian had decided to hide their discussion from her, didn’t that mean that he had agreed to Old Mr. Lynch’s suggestion?Tamara began to doubt.She backed out of Sebastian’s embrace right away.The man’s trimmed eyebrows furrowed at the movement. “Tamara, what’s wrong?”Tamara signed, “I’m feeling a bit tired now. I’m going to sleep.”She looked out the window at the pitch-black sky after putting her hands down, her back to Sebastian. She was unable to suppress the numerous suspicions that were growing.Sebastian could tell that Tamara was acting oddly and that it had only started after she asked him about his whereabouts.His eyes darkened all of a sudden. He then leaned over her. “You heard me on the phone, didn’t you?”Tamara merely blinked at him
Tamara received a text from James after seeing Sebastian off at the door the next day.James: “Are you feeling better?”Tamara: “I’m fine. How about you? You seemed to be in a worse shape than I was.”James: “I was in the hospital for a while. I’m alright now. Also, I’ve polished up the script. Why don’t you come over to film if you’re available today?”Tamara: “Alright.”After getting her things ready, she got Ms. Thompson to contact the driver. When the housekeeper realized that Tamara was going to leave the house again, she anxiously reminded, “Young Mrs. Lynch, you have to bring some bodyguards with you this time. It wouldn’t do for you to encounter trouble again.”Tamara smiled at her. “Don’t worry, Ms. Thompson. I always have people around me to make sure I’m safe.”The housekeeper nodded. “Alright then. If you need anything, you can always send me a text.”Tamara nodded and walked out the door with a bag in hand.After she left, Ms. Thompson hurried to the landline and
Split personality disorder?Margot was stunned. “That can’t be right, can it? How did I end up being involved in such a one-in-a-million case?”Tamara signed, “Judging by your expression, you seem oddly excited.”Margot shot her a huge smile. “Of course I’m excited! If I were to date him, that would mean I’d be dating two people simultaneously. It would feel so magical.”Tamara did not know how to respond.She turned toward James and signed, “Do you know any psychologists? I don’t think Benjamin’s the one with the issue here. She should be the one who gets help.”James remained silent for a moment. “I do know of one.”Margot interjected, “Hey, stop it, guys.”Tamara smiled. “Now that you have your suspicions, how will you go about it?”Margot replied, “Well, what else can I do? I’ll probably look into it to get to the bottom of the matter. I’m curious as to why he has this disorder in the first place. Even though dating two different people simultaneously sounds exciting, it’s
A loud crash sounded.At this moment, a car rushed toward them from in front and stopped in the middle of the road. The driver applied the brakes but still collided with the car in front of him.However, it had merely been a light bump. As a result, there was only minor damage.Tamara went pale. Right after the car stopped, she scrambled to get out of the car.The driver had not expected another car to come rushing out like that. He looked panicked. He hurriedly called someone on the phone. “Sir, the mission has failed. Someone is barricading the road.”“Alright, understood.”After the call ended, the driver got out of the car.At this moment, he saw a stern man getting out of the car in front of him. The man had a tall frame and was heading toward Tamara.Tamara was running backward with her hand on her belly. Suddenly, she felt a hand grab her phone. She was pale with fear.“Miss Simmons, it’s me.”A familiar, reassuring voice sounded.It was Anthony!Tamara spun around a
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
