Jocelyn pursed her lips. “No, she’s not.”Anthony ignored her and continued to make food.Jocelyn watched the man skillfully navigate his way around the kitchen. “I can’t believe you know how to cook. I thought you spent every waking moment protecting her?”She received no reply.“Hello? Why are you ignoring me? Where did you get the audacity to do that? You do know that I’m part of the Simmons household, too, right? Do you think I’m worth less or something?”Anthony remained silent.Jocelyn was going to go mad from the man’s silent treatment. She had never been treated this way before.She scoffed, “Fine! You can follow her all you want! I hope seeing her lead a full and content life with kids will enrage you to death!”After saying that, Jocelyn spun on her heel and left.Anthony did not stop moving around the kitchen. He was focused on making dinner.…Tamara lay on her bed, deep in thought. There was eventually a knock on her door. She got up to answer it.“Miss Simmons
Janine’s expression darkened immediately. “Jocelyn, you sure have a way with words, don’t you?”Jocelyn glared at her coldly, then turned away to head back inside the villa.“Jocelyn, if you like that bodyguard, I can help you!” Janine suddenly yelled out.Jocelyn sneered and said, “Aren’t we rivals? What makes you think I’ll believe anything you say?”Janine raised her chin. “Well, I thought you had a crush on Jordan. That’s why I labeled you as my rival, alright? Now that I know that you fancy that bodyguard, I suppose there’s no need for any bad blood between us. I can help you get together with him.”Jocelyn had always assumed that Janine was off her rocker. She would constantly stir up trouble for her for no apparent reason. It was after this admission that Jocelyn realized that Janine had a crush on Jordan.“How are you going to do that?” Jocelyn stared at Janine.Janine walked up to her and said, “You’d better think about my offer properly. I have an idea that might work.
“You little brat!”Old Mr. Lynch boiled with rage when he got hung up on. He couldn’t get past Sebastian’s final words. It was clear that his grandson was deliberately opposing him.He did not expect Tamara to hold such an important place in Sebastian’s heart.Tamara was around four months pregnant at this moment. She was going to give birth in five months or less. If their relationship continued to develop like this, it would be troublesome to kick that woman out of their family when the time came.Old Mr. Lynch’s wrinkled face became a little pensive.At this moment, Yareli walked in with a health tonic in hand. “Dad, what are you thinking about?”In reality, Yareli had overheard the old man’s conversation with Sebastian through the door.An idea sprang into her mind immediately. If Old Mr. Lynch were on her side, it would be easy to get rid of Tamara.As such, she diligently walked in with a health tonic.When Old Mr. Lynch took one look at her, he could tell what she was t
Tamara’s heart pounded violently in her chest. Her clear eyes twinkled as she reached out to wrap her hands around Sebastian’s neck.She returned Sebastian’s fiery passion with unpracticed kisses, causing him to pin her onto the bed.Light from the setting sun shone into the room, casting the shadows of their entangled bodies onto the walls. Their position was extremely intimate.A long while later, darkness fell. Tamara felt exhausted.She lay on Sebastian’s chest, feeling the man’s strong heartbeat. She felt extremely content at that moment.His promises made her feel safe.Sebastian could feel her soften up to him. He let out a low chuckle and asked, “Do you want to get something to eat?”Tamara was stunned. “Didn’t I already eat before this?”“Didn’t I tire you out enough?” Sebastian asked, smiling at her.Tamara blushed and signed, “If you’re hungry, you can go get something to eat. I’m not hungry.”The man was trying to bait her with suggestive phrases!Sebastian said,
Tamara did not know how to respond.Why did this man always say the most inappropriate things?“Mr. Lynch, that is not true at all. I need you to work hard to earn as much money as possible. Only then will I be able to live the high life.”Tamara got out of his embrace and lay down on the side by herself.Sebastian cocked an eyebrow at her. “You’ve started worrying about your status as a rich lady now, have you?”Tamara ignored him.However, Sebastian merely pulled her back into his embrace. “Your worries are misplaced. You can leave them for the distant future.”Tamara felt her lips twitch. She let out a smile and shut her eyes, falling asleep soon enough.…Tamara took the morning off the next day to relax. She went to James’ workshop later that afternoon.They weren’t done with the shoot from the day before. As such, they had to resume it.However, Margot wasn’t able to make it this time. As such, James had to stick by Tamara’s side the entire time. It was necessary as Ta
James’ expression darkened. “Stop spouting nonsense. She’s just a friend.”“Who the hell are you trying to fool? How can a male and female be just friends?” It was clear that Jessica did not believe James.Tamara was a little embarrassed. She wasn’t sure if she should order anything from the menu.At this moment, Jessica suddenly glared at her and said, “Hey, listen up. James is due to get married soon! I’m his fiancée. You’d better get as far away from him as possible, or else I’ll make your life a living hell!”Tamara looked at her silently.“Jessica Custry, if you’re here to interfere with my work, I’d like to ask you to please leave,” James said, sounding irritated.Jessica looked aggrieved. “You’re yelling at me because of this woman? That means you fancy her!”Tamara could only blink. Why did she have a bad feeling about this?Not a moment later, Jessica turned to glare at her furiously, then said, “You must’ve seduced him! I’m going to kill you.”Tamara typed on her pho
Tamara froze.With wide eyes, she watched Sebastian walk away with the woman. She snapped back to reality a moment later and trailed behind them. She stood at the entrance of the children’s clothing store and watched them walk further away from her. Tamara blinked her eyes.Didn’t Sebastian tell her that he was going to be out of town for work?What was he doing here?Who was that woman next to him?Her mind was racing with questions. Tamara sent a text to him on her phone.Tamara: “Have you reached Andoville?”After sending that text, she looked up to observe Sebastian from ahead. She watched the man take out his phone and type.Not a moment later, her phone buzzed. She looked down at it.Sebastian: “Yes.”Tamara paled instantly.It was obvious that the man wasn’t in Andoville. Why was he lying to her?“Miss, do you still want to purchase these clothes?” the shopkeeper noticed how pale Tamara had gotten and asked in a cautious tone.Tamara shook her head, then handed th
Tamara tossed and turned in bed late at night. She checked her phone now and then, but there were no new notifications.That only added to her frustrations. After a while, she realized she couldn’t sleep even if she remained in bed, so she stood up to go downstairs and get some water.It was dark downstairs. She noticed some light shining through from outside after walking around the area.Tamara was taken aback. When she looked outside, she noticed that the porch was brightly lit and a car was parked at the entrance. A tall figure could be seen leaning against the car, holding a lit cigarette between his fingers.Tamara blinked at the sight. Was that… Sebastian?He came back?Why didn’t he just come right in?Tamara walked up to the front door with a glass in her hand, her eyes fixed on him quietly.Sebastian was stunned for a moment. Then, he put out his cigarette and waited a few moments before walking up to her. “You saw me, didn’t you?”Tamara’s well-trimmed brows quivere
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
