Tamara fell asleep, exhausted by all the crying.Cheryl helped Old Mrs. Moore into a sofa. “Mom, why don’t you get some rest back in the hotel? I’m sure everything will be fine once Tammy calms down,” she said quietly.Old Mrs. Moore shook her head. “I’m not leaving. I want to accompany Tammy here. She’s so upset. She needs her family’s support more than anything.”Cheryl knew it was hopeless to try arguing with her, so she remained silent afterward.At this moment, Jonathan walked in.When he noticed Tamara’s eyes were red and puffy as she slept, he frowned and walked over, softly asking, “What happened to Tammy?”Cheryl recounted everything that had happened to him. After she was finished, Jonathan fumed with rage. “Sandy Checkers is such a conniving bitch! She really thinks that her arrogance is warranted just because she’s a Custry, huh? I’m going to make sure she pays for this!”“Come back here!” Cheryl looked at him, displeased. “You know as well as I do that she’s a Custr
“Tammy, go to Clacton with the Moore family and start a new life,” Margot said with an aching heart. When she found out that Sebastian had left Londsville, she was shocked beyond belief.Why would Sebastian leave Londsville?Tammy had just given birth, so why would he do that?It was only after that she heard that Sebastian was actually a descendant of the Custry family. It turned out that the man had gone to Clacton for his inheritance. Furious, she had meant to storm over to Sebastian and get him to explain everything.However, she found that she couldn’t even locate the man.When she arrived at the ward, she first noticed Tamara’s red, swollen eyes. She knew her friend must have been crying her eyes out from sorrow.Margot grabbed Tamara’s hand in hers and looked at her with concern.Tamara shut her eyes, feeling hopeless. She did her best to calm herself down, but whenever she thought about how Sebastian didn’t want anything to do with her anymore, she couldn’t help herself
Even Ms. Thompson had no clue…A look of despair appeared on Tamara’s face. Sebastian had arranged a funeral for Old Mr. Lynch here yet would not make any effort to visit her.Was he really that desperate to avoid her?When Ms. Thompson saw how upset Tamara looked, she hurriedly said, “Young Mrs. Lynch, Young Mr. Lynch must have a valid reason for everything that happened. I’m sure he’ll come for you once he has resolved the issue.”Tamara smiled bitterly. “What reason could there be? Why wouldn’t he just be straight with me?”Ms. Thompson was stunned. She didn’t know what else to say.Sebastian and Tamara’s relationship had changed in an instant. The housekeeper had no idea what happened in between, so she did not know what advice to give.Tamara lifted her gaze and looked around the house she’d been living in for months, a sad gleam in her eyes. Every inch of the space reminded her of her time with Sebastian.He and she used to go for evening strolls and talk about baby names
When the four handsome men saw Tamara and Thomas walk out, they walked up to them at the same time.“My darling, Tammy, welcome back!” Jason Moore, Tamara’s eldest cousin, greeted Tamara as he handed her a rose. There was a gentle, polite smile on his face.“Tammy, welcome!” Jayden Moore, her second eldest cousin, also handed her a rose. He was wearing a pair of rimless glasses and exuded a bookish aura.“Tammy, welcome home!” her third eldest cousin, Jordan Moore, greeted. He was tall and handsome, sporting a shy smile on his rugged features.“Tammy, my dear! Welcome…” her fourth eldest cousin, Joseph Moore, finally greeted with a slight hiccup. After a moment’s hesitation, he added, “Welcome back to us!”Tamara couldn’t stop herself from laughing. She looked briefly at her handsome cousins before accepting the roses from each of them. “You guys are causing quite a stir. Everyone will assume that the four of you are vying for the same girl’s attention or something.”Jordan’s exp
The ‘big bro’ in question referred to a man with handsome features hidden behind a black mask. The bangs on his forehead curled slightly, which made him look incredibly charming. His eyes were as dark as night as he watched the limousine drive away. There was an odd gleam in his eyes.It was none other than Sebastian Lynch.“You’re both living in Clacton, aren’t you? Why don’t you guys meet up and clear up what really happened all those years ago?” Simon glanced over at him.Sebastian retracted his gaze. “No need for that.”His voice was deep and magnetizing, hinted with coldness.Four years had passed. Over the years, Sebastian had become more calm and stoic. It made him appear even more handsome, charming, and borderline unattainable.Simon tutted. “You’re in a very different position than you were in the past. Right now, the Custry family’s influence is nothing to you. Why won’t you just explain yourself? Aren’t you worried that your beloved will leave you?”The coldness in S
Tamara walked Old Mrs. Moore to the dining room.All four cousins trailed behind them, their eyes glued to the two women. They were worried that Tamara would accidentally fall over or something.The dining table was circular in shape. The atmosphere became lively once everyone took their seats.Old Mrs. Moore didn’t like rectangular tables, deeming them too old-fashioned.Once everyone settled into their seats, Jonathan turned toward Tamara. “Tammy, have you adjusted to life in another country?”Tamara was slightly exasperated. “Uncle Jon, you’ve asked me that a thousand times already.”Jonathan felt embarrassed when he heard that. “I’m just worried that you would have trouble adapting. What if you can’t adjust to life there?”Tamara replied, “Don’t worry about it. I adjusted pretty well abroad. I’m not leaving the country anytime soon.”“That’s great to hear.” Jonathan nodded, looking at his niece dotingly.Cheryl had quadruplets the first time she became pregnant, but all fo
Tamara was stunned at how thoughtful and concerned Thomas was. The little boy was only four years old, yet his emotional intelligence far exceeded those of his peers.He wanted to find his brother.“Alright. We’ll look for him together.” Tamara nodded, smiling at her son.Thomas nodded firmly. “I’m sure we’ll find him.”After the matter was resolved, the conversation moved on to other topics. They went to the living room after they finished their meal.Night came.Tamara returned to her room, which was as roomy as they came. It was completely pink. According to Jonathan, the room had to resemble one befitting a princess like her.At first, Tamara had vehemently refused it. She couldn’t help but think that the pink decorations were childish.However, she managed to get used to it after a while.She sat in a chair on the balcony, looking out at the setting sun. She had a glass of red wine with her. She grabbed it and took a sip.She shut her eyes for a moment, eyes gleaming wit
Tamara’s eyes grew cold. Who was spying on her?However, when she had turned to inspect her surroundings, the gaze on her had promptly disappeared.Tamara got into her car and drove to the hotel.She reserved a presidential suite on the top floor. She noticed another person walking into the room next to hers after exiting the elevator.Tamara did not seem bothered. After entering her room with Thomas, she said to him, “Wait for me here. I’ll be out for a short while.”Thomas blinked his dark eyes up at his mother. “Mommy, what will you be doing?”“Just some errands. I’ll be back in a flash. Don’t go anywhere unattended, got it?” Tamara said gently.Thomas had always been mature. When they were abroad, the little boy had been nothing but independent. He did not cause Tamara much worry.Thomas nodded. “Alright. Come back soon, Mommy!”Tamara replied, “Okay.”She kissed Thomas’s cheek, spun on her heel, and left the room.When Thomas heard the elevator ding, he smiled from ear
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
