Thomas walked out of the private room next door. He looked up and spotted Tamara. Just as he was about to approach her, he saw that Mommy had Caleb’s hand in hers. Thomas hurriedly hid in the room.Mommy had mistaken Caleb for him again.He couldn’t possibly leave the room now! It would only scare her!He eyed the stairs for a moment. If he were to make his way there, he’d have to walk past Mommy. That wouldn’t work.Thomas wondered how he was supposed to leave.At this moment, Tamara suddenly turned back.Scared out of his mind, Thomas moved to hide, but he was a second too late. A hand reached out from behind and pulled him into the private room.Thomas gasped out in shock. When he caught sight of the person in the private room, his eyes widened suddenly.It was Daddy!Sebastian put a finger to his lips and shushed him.Thomas’ obsidian eyes widened even more at that. What did Daddy mean by this? Was he asking him to keep quiet?Could it be that he already knew that he was
Thomas was worried that Margot would discover their secret. As such, he used the scented tea leaves on her. It turned out that Mommy had picked up on it. What should Caleb do?Caleb wrung his hands together nervously. A moment later, Tamara straightened herself and said, “Her perfume smells so much like the scented tea leaves I developed. Gosh, I remember thinking that before.”Caleb remained silent.Was Mommy finding excuses to explain the situation?Tamara turned toward Caleb and asked, “Since Aunt Margot’s asleep, why don’t we stay here for a while? What do you think about sleeping here tonight?”Caleb nodded.Anywhere was fine as long as Mommy was there with him.Tamara grabbed Caleb’s hand and led him into the room a few feet away. Then, she said, “You can rest here. I need to go and buy something.”A worried expression appeared on Caleb’s face. He tugged on Tamara’s hand.“What’s wrong?” Tamara looked at him curiously.Caleb opened his mouth but closed it eventually. He
Sebastian swept his gaze over the men groaning in pain on the ground. Then, he turned toward Tamara and was met with the woman’s crystal clear eyes and sly smile. He stopped breathing for a second.“Why aren’t you speaking?”Tamara stared at him for a long moment, then walked up to him. She stopped a few feet away from the man.“Young Mr. Custry, are you really mute?”Sebastian remained silent.He did not dare to speak.Tamara’s smile widened even more. She suddenly reached out, planning to take off the man’s mask. However, before she could do so, the man had clasped onto her slender wrists.Tamara was taken aback. She struggled to get her hand out. “Young Mr. Custry, what are you doing?”Sebastian loosened his grip on her, then spun on his heel and headed toward 1999.Tamara froze. The man was going to 1999 as well?Was this really a coincidence?The amused smile she had been sporting suddenly vanished. The man’s tall frame was too familiar to her. She wasn’t one to make mi
At this moment, inside the washroom.Caleb could hear the conversation going on outside. His expression froze, and he forgot to finish brushing his teeth.What should he do?Aunt Margot noticed that something was off. She hadn’t forgotten what she saw and even told Mommy all about it!Was Mommy suspicious?Should he come clean to her?Caleb was beyond nervous.At this moment, Tamara glanced at Margot, then felt her forehead. “You don’t seem to have a fever.”Margot was taken aback. “I thought I was having hallucinations too, alright? How could I have seen two Thomas’s? But you did give birth to triplets, after all. One’s no longer with us, and the other…”She stopped herself halfway. When she noticed the sorrowful look in Tamara’s eyes, she grabbed her friend’s hand and said, “I’m sorry, my dear. I shouldn’t have brought it up…”Tamara smiled and shook her head. “It’s the truth, after all. It’s why I’m in Londsville right now. I’m here to find my lost son.”However, after he
Tommy: “Hey, you can spend the night with Mommy. I want to stay with Daddy tonight.”Caleb blinked, then typed.Caleb: “But I think Mommy’s beginning to suspect me.”Tommy: “Isn’t that good news? Don’t you want to get acquainted with Mommy?”Caleb: “I do.”Tommy: “If that’s the case, you should stay by Mommy’s side!”Caleb put his phone away and turned to look up at Tamara. Mommy was sleeping soundly and even had a smile on her lips.Caleb inched closer to her and stuck himself to her side. He took in his mother’s fragrant scent and fell asleep.…The next morning.Caleb opened his eyes and suddenly felt out of sorts. He hurriedly checked the time and found that it was already past nine in the morning. He looked stricken with panic all of a sudden.“Thomas, what’s wrong?” Tamara opened her eyes blurrily. When she noticed how panicked her son looked, she pulled him into his arms.Caleb blinked for a moment and finally snapped back to his senses. He was currently with Mommy,
Tamara’s crystal clear eyes twinkled. Then, she glanced over at the shopkeeper. “Bag this up for me.”Then, Tamara showed Caleb a couple more outfits. Caleb nodded at almost everything, and Tamara got the shopkeeper to bag the items up.After they left the children’s clothing store, Margot had a suspicious look on her face, yet she remained silent.They went upstairs to the women’s clothing store. Tamara said to Caleb, “Sit here and wait for Mommy, okay? I’m going to pick out some clothes.”Caleb nodded obediently. His dark eyes were bright as he watched Tamara.Tamara retracted her gaze and went to browse some of the dresses.She grabbed a red dress and tried to envision how she would look in it. Then, she turned toward Caleb and asked, “Do you think Mommy looks good in this color?”Caleb nodded.Tamara went to try it on in the fitting room. When she walked out, her son’s eyes lit up with admiration.Tamara glanced over at Margot and asked, “How does it look?”“It looks grea
“It’s not your fault. You were never at fault, sweetheart. Mommy should be blamed for not recognizing you sooner. I’ve been looking for you for so long. Oh, Caleb, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to lose you. Will you forgive me?”Tamara stared at Caleb’s face, which was almost identical to Thomas’. She really should’ve noticed that something was off about it.Even though the two looked alike, there was a subtle difference between her sons’ eyebrows. They were not completely identical.Caleb shook his head. “I don’t blame you, Mommy. I’ve missed you.”He choked up, then began to cry even harder.He had missed his mommy so much. Whenever he heard people around him mention their mothers, he would always get upset. He always wondered why his mommy didn’t want him.It turned out that everyone else had been telling him lies!His mommy had always loved him and had been looking for him everywhere!Tamara hugged Caleb and kissed his cheeks. Then, she wiped his tears away and said, “Alright
Melanie Morrison…Melanie…Tamara froze. Her heart squeezed, and her breathing quickened.Tamara slowly bent down. “Hey kid, where are your parents?”Melanie’s flushed face immediately fell. “I don’t have parents, only my grandfather.”Tamara pitied the girl.She reached out and gently held the little girl’s hand. “Why are you here alone? Why were those people chasing after you?”Melanie felt warmth coming from Tamara’s hand. She was initially scared, but now, her fear had disappeared.Melanie blinked up at Tamara with her big clear eyes. “I want to go out and play, but those people are always following me around. They never allow me to do anything. They’re very annoying.”Hearing this, Tamara couldn’t help but laugh.“But it’s dangerous for you to be outside alone. What if you encounter bad people?” Tamara stared at Melanie’s soft face. The sour feeling from earlier had slowly faded. However, some thoughts still lingered in Tamara’s mind, and her eyebrows twitched.“Are yo
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
