“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
Yareli was stunned. “What do you mean, Dad?”Sebastian paused. “Grandpa, Tamara had left.”Old Mr. Lynch nodded, and the conversation ended.Yareli was taken aback. Was old Mr. Lynch looking for Tamara?This wasn’t how he usually treated Tamara!It had only been a month! Why did both Sebastian and Old Mr. Lynch have a sudden change of heart about Tamara?Yareli was anxious. Tamara was only two months pregnant. If they waited for Tamara to give birth to the baby before divorcing her, things would surely get complicated!If that were to happen, it would be better if Sebastian divorced Tamara right now! That would prevent them from going off track.Something sinister flashed across Yareli’s eyes. A bitch like Tamara did not belong in the Lynch family!When Tamara returned to Skarrowlilt Grove, she was exhausted and immediately fell asleep once she hit the bed.In her daze, she could feel a pair of eyes on her, but she was too tired to care and fell back into a slumber instead.
It was undeniable that Tamara was beautiful. Her every action breathed elegance, and she looked to be a goddess who decided to grace humanity with her presence. Even amid her shyness, she eluded sensuality. It didn’t matter that she was mute. The Simmons family had brought her up well.Sebastian forced down his rising emotions and averted his gaze from Tamara.Suddenly, Sebastian remembered his follow request. At the thought of this, his face fell.Tamara didn’t give two shits about him.“Tamara Simmons,” called Sebastian coldly.Tamara paused before she turned toward him. The corners of her mouth were stained.Sebastian’s words were stuck in his throat. He felt irritated at the sight of the stain.He reached out his hand and held Tamara’s chin, preventing her from turning away before he roughly wiped the stain away with his thumb.Her skin was soft to the touch.Tamara’s eyes widened tremendously. She stared suspiciously at him, and her message was clear as day. What was Se
“Nothing yet, miss.”Tamara frowned for only a moment.She had sent some people to find out the reason behind the Simmons Corporation’s sudden loss of assets.Was it merely the drop in stock price?She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.Her dad was a cautious man. He started Simmons Corporation and put great care into managing it.Why did everything go up in flames?Tamara stopped her train of thought and replied, “Continue the search.”“Yes, miss!”The next morning.When Tamara left her room, she saw Ms. Thompson and held onto her hand. Tamara held up her phone. The screen displayed a line of pre-written text: “Ms. Thompson, I won’t be coming home for dinner tonight. You don’t have to prepare food for me.”Ms. Thompson was stunned. “Where are you going, Young Mrs. Lynch?”Tamara typed: “I’m going home to the Simmons family.”Ms. Thompson nodded. “Safe journey, Young Mrs. Lynch.”Tamara smiled and nodded before she turned to leave.Seeing Tamara’s retreat
Just as Ms. Miller started, Quentin’s voice interrupted her.Helplessness flashed across Ms. Miller’s eyes. Tamara took notice of this and wanted to ask about it. But Quentin had stepped forward. “Welcome home, Tammy. Hurry up and prepare some drink for her, Ms. Miller.”Ms. Miller could only nod in submission. “Right away, Mr. Simmons.”Tamara frowned at Quentin and signed, “Why didn’t you let Ms. Miller finish?”Quentin had purposely interrupted Ms. Miller.Quentin merely chuckled. “What do you mean? She is just a housekeeper. She has no right to discuss our family issues.”Tamara’s face fell.Ms. Miller had brought them up. How dare Quentin speak so lowly of her?Quentin waved her away. “Let’s change the topic. Does Young Mr. Lynch knows you’re here?”Tamara stared coldly at him. “What does he have to do with me coming home?”“Of course he has to know!” Quentin was annoyed. “You are married to Sebastian. That means that the Lynch family and the Simmons family are in-laws.
“What are you doing?” It was obvious that Quentin saw what she saw. He immediately scolded the workers.When the employees saw Quentin, they put away their entertainment and faked returning to work. But even a blind man could see that they were all clueless. Quentin turned to Tamara. “Tammy, this is just how the company is right now. You see it too! Do you trust me now?”Tamara frowned and ignored Quentin. She headed straight for the financial manager’s office.When Quentin saw where she was headed, his face fell.“Tammy, what exactly are you here for?” Quentin blocked off Tamara.Tamara gave him a cold stare. “Make way.”Quentin sucked in a breath. “Tell me what you’re here for and I’ll send someone to bring it here.”Tamara stood her ground.Quentin was losing his patience. Tamara had no respect for him whatsoever!He was her brother!“Tamara, don’t push your luck…”“Tammy! You’re here!” Just before Quentin went off, Coral came over with a smile. “Tammy, what brings you
“Young Mr. Lynch, after Young Mrs. Lynch arrived at the Simmons family villa, she soon left for Simmons Corporation. She’s still there as we speak.” Jerome told Sebastian about his find. He continued, “Ever since Jacob Simmons’s failed investment, Simmons Corporation had fallen from a great height. It is now on the verge of bankruptcy. Young Mrs. Lynch is probably there to handle the situation.”“What could she possibly do about Simmons Corporation’s bankruptcy?” Sebastian flipped through the findings and mocked.Jerome was afraid of saying the wrong words. He merely said, “I also found that Young Mrs. Lynch’s brother, Quentin, has a history of gambling.”Sebastian’s face turned cold. His eyes scanned the findings before he ordered Jerome, “Call Tamara and tell her to come home.”Jerome almost agreed before remembering something. However, he was at a loss for words. “Young Mr. Lynch…”“What?” Sebastian’s piercing gaze dug into Jerome.Jerome hesitated before finally finding the c
Coral screamed at the sight of this. She flopped over to Quentin. “Are you okay?”Quentin couldn’t find his words as he coughed out an endless stream of blood.Tamara turned to look in the direction of the door in shock. There stood Sebastian in all his glory. If looks could kill, Sebastian would have massacred everyone in the office by now.Why was he here?“Why are you just standing there?” Sebastian walked over to Tamara. His voice softened unconsciously.Tamara blinked before she raised her hand. “Why are you here…”She suddenly remembered Sebastian's lack of sign language knowledge. She hurriedly searched for her phone.Sebastian’s gaze darkened. He took hold of her hand. “Let’s go home.”Tamara paused. A weird feeling seeped into her heart. The hand on her wrist was warm and sent electricity through her. Her breathing quickened at this.“Sebastian… Sebastian Lynch. How dare you lay your hands on me…” Quentin coughed as Coral helped him up. His clothes were soaked in bloo
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
