As the night went on, Tamara’s mind drifted. She was initially watching over Melanie. However, images of Sebastian started floating around her mind.They hadn’t met in four years, and here he was playing hide and seek with her!Did he find this romantic?Tamara found him lame. Scratch that! She was angry!Did Sebastian know how the past four years had been for her?When he gave her the divorce papers and left for Clacton to inherit his family business, had he ever thought about her?Why the hell did he think he could just waltz right back into her life after four years?That asshole!Tamara bit her nails as her tears fell uncontrollably. She was filled to the brim with anger and hatred.She knew Sebastian was right outside the ward, but she didn’t want to meet him!Tamara shut her eyes and recollected herself. A lot happened today. She had to slowly unpack and digest everything.The next morning.“Mommy…” A soft and childish voice sounded. Tamara’s eyes snapped open, and sh
“What the fuck is wrong with you, Sebastian?” Tamara’s clear eyes glowed red in anger.Her breathing grew heavy. “Do you think I’ll forgive you just because you apologized? Not a chance!”Tamara was yelling furiously. She jumped off the table and headed for the door.However, when she reached for the door handle, a force pulled her back and she stumbled into a warm embrace.“Tammy.” A husky voice breathed into her ear. Tamara shut her eyes. “Let me go, Sebastian.”“I know my apology doesn’t mean jack shit. But I won’t give up. You can push me away all you want, but I’ll always be right behind you. Tammy, I love you,” confessed Sebastian in a husky voice. He was afraid Tamara would grow angrier if he did not speak now.Tamara was fed up with his sweet nothings. She forced her way out of his embrace and left the meeting room.Sebastian shut his eyes in defeat. He laughed deprecatingly at himself. He was such a fool!…In the afternoon.Tamara was conversing with Melanie when
Tamara turned around unconsciously and saw the two guards on the floor. They were doubling over in pain. On the other hand, Sebastian was straightening his crumpled shirt. When he saw her looking over, his lips curled into a smirk. His dark eyes held a certain gentleness as he stared at her.“I was only being respectful to the Moore family, Tammy. These two are not enough to hold me back,” grinned Sebastian cheekily.Tamara gave him a blank stare.Annoyance painted her beautiful face, and she glared at him with her clear eyes. “What are you doing, Sebastian?”Although her tone was cold, it still sounded melodious to Sebastian.Sebastian stalked closer to Tamara, his slender and tall figure quickly enveloping her petite frame. He lowered his gaze to her tenderly. “You can’t stop me from pursuing you.”Tamara sneered at how shameless he was being. In fact, he was even more shameless compared to four years ago!Tamara pointed at the two guards and huffed coldly. “You hurt my guards
The operation took place three days later.Jonathan, Cheryl, Jason, Jayden, Jordan, and Joseph all arrived at the hospital. The family waited outside the operating room anxiously.Thomas was still in school. When Sebastian came over, he was stopped by the guards.Instead of just two guards, there were 20 guards this time.Sebastian sighed helplessly at this.In fact, 20 guards were not enough to stop him, but he didn’t want to cause a commotion.Thus, Sebastian chose to wait outside the hospital quietly.A breeze blew past him, and the scene looked somewhat bleak.Not far from him was a parked luxurious car.The window rolled down to reveal a furious Joanne whose gaze was fixed on Sebastian’s figure.She loved him with all her heart, but it didn’t faze him one bit. Yet here he was standing outside the hospital after getting stopped by the guards!He was the president of Custry Corporation!How could he be treated like some loser?Joanne retracted her gaze, and a dark look
Jason, Jayden, and Jordan looked over.Jordan furrowed his eyebrows and sneered at Sebastian. “You’re Sebastian? The bastard who left Tammy?”Jayden chuckled. “No need for harsh words, Jordan. We just have to beat him to death.”Jason narrowed his eyes dangerously. “I’ve been itching for a fight recently. How I wish I can go back to Moore Corporation and take over the entire Custry Corporation. I’ll make sure to make this bastard homeless.”Sebastian stared at them coolly.His murderous intent was enough to send shivers down one spine.The four brothers were not people Sebastian could raise his fist against.Sebastian sighed helplessly. “Jason, Jayden, Jordan, Joseph, it’s my fault for abandoning Tammy back then. I apologize.”“Please don’t get chummy with us. We have nothing to do with you,” said Joseph with a huff.Jordan stalked closer with a dark look on his face. “I heard you’re good with your fists?”Jordan was a high-ranking officer and a good fighter, yet he was surpr
When Tamara saw this, the corners of her mouth twitched.“What is this, Uncle Jon?” Tamara sighed helplessly at her uncle.Jonathan chuckled. “It’s to celebrate you and Melly being discharged from the hospital. Of course, we have to make it a little more festive than normal.”Tamara sighed again. She held Melanie’s hand and led her to the limousine.The long queue of vehicles left the hospital, and the place returned to its peaceful state.“Hello, Grandma Moore!” Melanie greeted politely after she entered the Moore manor.Old Mrs. Moore observed the beautiful girl and exclaimed dreamily, “You look just like Tammy’s mom, Melly.”Tamara paused before giggling at this.That was true. Melly did look identical to her mother. Tamara would even go as far as to say Melanie looked more identical to her mother than she did.Tamara believed if her mother ever met Melanie, she would adore the little girl.“Melly!” Thomas chirped excitedly. He flew over and gave Melanie a bear hug. He eve
Tamara’s crystal clear eyes widened slightly as she hurried over. “James?”James was wearing a black windbreaker and looked as if he had lost a bunch of weight. However, he was still sporting his usual gentle smile. His eyes seemed to smile as he looked at her.“Tamara, long time no see.”Tamara pulled the door open and took a closer look at the man.It really had been ages since they last saw each other.She hadn’t seen him since what happened four years ago. Furthermore, the man seemed to have disappeared into thin air at that point. She had heard no news about him.James said softly, “I’d like to apologize for what happened all those years ago. I got close to you for an ulterior motive and even purposely put your life on the line. I’m really sorry.”Tamara suddenly smiled. “But if it hadn’t been for you, I would’ve died a long time ago.”Hearing that, James broke out into a grin. “So does that mean you’ve forgiven me?”Tamara smiled brightly at that. “I think we’ve evened t
After Tamara finished speaking, she spun on her heel and strode into the villa.Sebastian remained frozen. He trailed after her after snapping back to his senses. “Tammy?”However, Tamara was determined to ignore him and sped up.Sebastian sighed helplessly.It appeared that it’d take a long while to get Tamara back.…Once Tamara was inside, she told everyone that the visitor wasn’t Elijah. Sighs of relief echoed in the room.“Alright, let’s dig in. Who even cares, right? No one will be able to threaten our dear Tammy now,” Cheryl said.“That’s right.”Everyone agreed.The atmosphere in the dining room livened up.When it was evening, Margot called Tamara, who was playing with some toys with Melanie.“Tammy, I’m so upset! I got fucking cheated on!” Margot slurred out the words. It was evident that she had been drinking. She sounded choked up from the anger and hatred she was feeling.Tamara was stunned. “What happened? Where are you now?”Margot hiccuped. “I…I’m in Joker
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
