Tamara went back to her room to take a short breather. Not a moment later, Ms. Thompson came knocking at her door. Tamara opened the door and stilled when she spotted the glass of milk the housekeeper was holding.After drinking the milk Cynthia had brought her all those times, her body gradually grew weaker. After having gone through such an ordeal, even looking at milk made Tamara want to retch. She waved a hand at Ms. Thompson, indicating that she didn’t want any of it.Ms. Thompson was stunned. “Young Mrs. Lynch, you don’t want milk?”Tamara nodded affirmingly.“But you can’t not have any! Milk is rich in so many nutrients. Young Mrs. Lynch, you should really–”“Just get her something else to replace the nutrients. That’ll make up for it just fine.”Sebastian interrupted, his tone low and enticing.Tamara and Ms. Thompson turned to look at the man. The housekeeper overcame her shock and smiled as she said, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to be pushy. I was just concerned about the b
Falling in love with that mute was next to impossible.Sebastian’s expression frosted over. He took a sip of wine and said, “That won’t happen.”This time, his tone was flat. He did not sound the least bit irritated.Sebastian hadn’t tried to defend himself. Instead, he merely stated that it wouldn’t happen.Benjamin quirked a brow at him. “Are you sure?”Sebastian’s cold gaze swept over his friend. “You’ve got a lot of free time to spare these days, don’t you?”Feeling that he was threading through dangerous waters, Benjamin hurriedly shook his head. “That’s not it. I’ve been incredibly busy recently! A new batch of cars just came in. I’m still thinking about how I should design all of them.”Sebastian swept his eyes over Benjamin once before withdrawing his cold gaze.Late at night.Tamara slept through the evening, eventually waking up at ten later that night.She got out of bed with a yawn, and her stomach rumbled from hunger.She walked out of her room to head to the li
Tamara’s breathing was a mess. She shied away from Sebastian all of a sudden and took a couple of steps back. Her beautiful eyes shone with wariness as she regarded the man before her.She could smell alcohol. It meant that he was probably drunk.Tamara figured that she wouldn’t take his actions to heart.She picked up one of the bowls filled with noodles and went straight upstairs. Once inside her room, she could still feel her cheeks burning from the encounter.The moment he was pushed away by Tamara, he closed his eyes abruptly.Tamara’s fragrant, enticing scent still lingered in his nose. He could not get his mind off her delicate lips.“Fuck!” Sebastian cursed lowly. He opened his eyes and was met with the bowl of noodles Tamara had made for him, making him feel gloomy instantly.He spun on his heel and went upstairs without touching the food.The next morning.Tamara had packed everything she needed. Walking out of her room, she lifted her head and saw that Sebastian had
Margot knew that Tamara filmed TikTok videos. She rather enjoyed watching Tamara film those short videos every time.Tamara got her hair done first. After ensuring that the wig was properly fixed onto her scalp, she began to do her makeup.Her makeup skills were out of this world. Within half an hour, Tamara managed to make herself look like a goddess reincarnate.Passion filled the air when she looked behind her from a certain angle.“Oh my God!”Margot had been playing on her phone the entire time. Her eyes widened in amazement when she lifted her head and saw the goddess Tamara had transformed herself into. “Tammy, you’re literally a goddess! You look gorgeous!”Tamara blushed at Margot’s kind praises. She smiled at her shyly.“If I were a man, I would definitely marry you and carry you home.”Margot was always amazed by how pretty Tamara was. Seeing how red Tamara’s lips were, Margot could barely contain herself from taking a bite.Tamara pushed Margot aside, then changed
The video only spanned 22 seconds. Sebastian rewatched it countless times.He could not shift his gaze away from the bright eyes on his screen. The longer he stared at them, the more familiar they seemed.Eventually, he stopped watching the video and dialed Skarrowlilt Grove’s landline.“Hello, Young Mr. Lynch.”Ms. Thompson had been the one to pick up the phone.“Where’s Tamara?” Sebastian asked in a low voice.Ms. Thompson was taken aback by the question. “Young Mrs. Lynch went out. She hasn’t come home yet.”Sebastian’s expression darkened significantly at that. “Do you have her number? Can you call– I mean, text her? Tell her to hurry home and remind her of her place in the family!”Ms. Thompson teased, “Young Mr. Lynch, I’m just the family’s housekeeper. It wouldn’t be right for me to hurry Young Mrs. Lynch home like that. If you’re worried about her, you should be the one calling her instead. I’ll send you her number right away.”“Ms. Thompson, you’re–”Before Sebastian
“Who else but her?” Margot answered coldly on behalf of Tamara.Shouldn’t one thank their savior once they wake up?What was wrong with this old man?Why did he look pissed despite being saved by Tamara?The old man slowly relaxed. He glanced at Tamara and lifted his chin.On cue, Tamara immediately went forward to help him up.Margot widened her eyes at the sight of this. “What is wrong with you? You didn’t even thank her! And now you’re ordering her around? You…”Tamara pulled on Margot’s hand, indicating for her to stop.The old man was pale and looked unwell. But the ambulance arrived soon.Tamara got in the ambulance after them, but the old man stopped her. “Don’t follow me. Leave.”Tamara shook her head and stood her ground. Her anxiety only calmed down after she sent him to the hospital.Seeing Tamara’s determination, the old man let her be and closed his eyes.“Tammy, what are you doing? Can’t you see he’s being an ass?” Upon seeing Tamara getting in the ambulance,
“What? Cat got your tongue? Did Tamara not boast about marrying into the Lynch family? After all, someone like her must have been born under a lucky star to be able to marry Seb,” mocked Yareli when she saw Margot’s apparent shock.Margot held Tamara’s hand and said in a serious manner, “Tammy, blink once if you have been kidnapped or blackmailed. I’ll save you.”Tamara rolled her eyes.Margot sure had a wild imagination.Yareli’s face turned sour. “What are you implying?”Margot turned her attention back to Yareli and flashed her a fake smile. “I said what I said.”Yareli’s face darkened. “I knew it! Birds of a feather flock together. Of course, an evil bitch like her would be friends with such an impudent person!”Tamara’s eyes sharpened, and she reached for her phone. Margot was no pushover, either. She immediately spat, “Mrs. Lynch, you were once a noble lady too. I see that even after years of living in luxury, you have not polished your poise and could still only spout bul
“Wait a minute…” Margot wanted to butt in but was stopped by Tamara. Tamara signed, “You should head home. I’ll be fine.”Margot was worried. “But…”Tamara smiled. “I’ll be fine. Also, they wouldn’t dare to hurt a pregnant lady.”Margot was hesitant, but still, she nodded reluctantly. “Alright. You take care now. If anything happens, send me a text.”Seeing Tamara nodding, Margot turned to shoot Sebastian a warning. But her throat dried when she met Sebastian’s cold gaze. “I… I’ll leave Tamara in your care.”Tamara bit back a smile.Where was the fierce warrior from just a minute ago?Margot left the hospital soon after. Tamara signed her thanks to Sebastian.Sebastian ignored her and averted his gaze. He had a moody look on his face. “Go home.”Tamara stuck her tongue out and complied, leaving the hospital.Since Sebastian had helped her, she couldn’t allow Margot to continue with her onslaught.As for her close confinement…Of course, she wouldn’t comply!Seeing that T
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
