“What a trainwreck.” Margot whispered to herself, unable to summon up her appetite to eat.Sebastian looked at James with amusement in his eyes. His handsome, charming face filled with mockery as he barked, “You want to date her? You don’t deserve her!”His eyes shone with disdain.There was no need to make any drastic comparisons.The fact that James initially approached Tamara with an ulterior motive disqualified him from dating her.James was taken aback. He said, “I won’t deny the horrible deed I’ve done in the past, but I’ll try my best to make up for everything eventually. Furthermore, now that I’ve ceased all contact with the Morrison family, I am not at all related to them anymore. From this day forth, no one will be able to pose a threat to me.”After that, he turned toward Tamara. “That’s why you don’t need to worry. I’m currently a free man.”Tamara was rendered speechless.James’ confession was too sudden.It made her want to run for the hills.However, running aw
South of the city, at a horse racing track. Margot led Tamara into the horse racing track, where she noticed a group of wealthy heirs conversing with the female companions in their arms.“Why, if it isn’t Margot!”Randy Wecker released the woman in his arms and walked over to Margot. His smile widened upon seeing the woman’s beautiful face. Then, he shifted his gaze over to Tamara and looked incredibly surprised. “Damn, I suppose a pretty woman like you would also have pretty friends. Who might you be?”Margot made the introduction. “This is my friend, Tamara Moore. Tammy, this is Randy Wecker.”Tamara greeted, “Nice to meet you.”Randy waved his hand. “Any friend of Margot’s is a friend of mine. Let’s move past the introductions, shall we? Miss Moore, do you know how to ride horses?”Tamara nodded. “A little.”Randy was surprised. “You’re free to pick one out. Why don’t you pick one you like?”Margot said, “I’ll come with you.”“Okay.”The two beautiful women went to pick
Tamara merely smiled. “No need. Say, why don’t you make a bet, President Custry?”“What bet? Do tell.” Sebastian focused all his attention on her.“Why don’t we race on horses? If you win, I’ll agree to let you pursue me, but if I win, you’re required to stay as far away from me as possible,” Tamara stated her terms. “So, what do you think?”Sebastian quirked a brow at her. “Are you sure?”She nodded. “Absolutely. It’s not like I can avoid you forever, can I? Why don’t we just get it over with once and for all?”Sebastian chuckled lowly, then nodded. “Alright, let’s race.”Tamara held onto her horse’s reins and watched Sebastian pick a horse for himself. They went to the starting line and got onto their horses.When everyone saw that Tamara and Sebastian were about to race, they gathered around to watch.“Go, Tammy!” Margot cheered on from the sidelines.“Go, President Custry!” Randy cheered as well.Everyone watched Sebastian with eager eyes. It was a rare opportunity, after
“It appears that you’re fine. Right, I’ll be off then.”Tamara turned around and sprinted away.Sebastian watched her receding figure with a growing grin on his face. He looked up at the blue sky and felt a well of emotions stir inside him.When Margot saw the blush on Tamara’s face, she asked, “Tammy, are you alright?”Tamara nodded. “I’m fine. I’m going to change.”Margot nodded. “Alright. God, that was a close call! Thank goodness for him! Otherwise, who knows what would’ve happened to you.”Upon hearing that, Tamara quickened her footsteps.After changing back into her clothes, Tamara saw that Margot was chatting with Randy.“Margot, I need to head home now,” she said to Margot.Randy spoke first. “Miss Moore, it’s still so early. Why do you need to get home so soon? There’s a hotel and restaurant here. Why don’t you eat something before leaving?”Tamara wanted to refuse.Margot walked over and asked, “You didn’t get to eat much just now. Why don’t we get something to ea
The sky was a muted blue. The sun was setting, and the breeze was not particularly cold. Even so, it managed to mess up Tamara’s hair.She reached up to smooth her hair out. Her long eyelashes fluttered unconsciously.Sebastian’s tall figure approached her. He opened the passenger door and said, “Here, let me get that for you.”Tamara bit her lower lip gently. Only she and Sebastian remained at the racetrack’s entrance. She wanted to refuse but figured it wouldn’t be a good idea.Whatever.It was just a car ride, after all. It wouldn’t mean anything.Tamara regained her composure and got into the passenger seat.Sebastian found Tamara’s defiant expression amusing. He couldn’t help his lips from quirking upward. Then, he shut the door.Tamara’s body was stiff as she sat. She waited for him to get into the car but didn’t dare to meet his gaze.However, Sebastian didn’t start the car after settling into his seat. “President Custry, why haven’t you started driving?”Tamara coul
When Tamara saw her name appear in the sky, her eyes grew wide. Following the disappearance of the word “Tammy,” the word “Moore” appeared.Later, a few more words erupted into the sky. They eventually read, “Tammy Moore, I love you.”Tamara stared with mouth agape. No emotion could be discerned from her expression. She looked dumbfounded.“Tammy, I love you.”A deep, magnetizing voice rang out.Tamara snapped out of her senses and glanced over at Sebastian, yet she found that she couldn’t find anything to say.What a sneaky bastard.He assaulted her with balloons in the morning, then fireworks at night.Who the hell taught him these cheesy romantic gestures? Tamara stared at Sebastian for a long moment, then finally managed to say, “Well… I’m going to go now.”With that, she got out of the car and took quick strides into the Moore family’s villa.Sebastian was rendered speechless.His brows furrowed as he looked up at the remnants of light from the fireworks display. His
Tamara answered, “Margot’s still at the horse racing track.”Joseph glanced at the expensive watch on his wrist. “I’ll go get her. It’s not safe for a woman to be out there all by herself.”Tamara took note of Joseph’s concern and couldn’t help but ask, “What if she doesn’t want to come back with you?”Joseph was silent for a moment. “I’ll keep her company at the racetracks.”Tamara didn’t know what to say.Her cousin was really stubborn.Tamara inched closer to him and said, “Joseph, do you want a word of advice?”Joseph replied, “Nope. I don’t want to hear it.”Tamara could do nothing after that.Joseph spun on his heel and left. She hadn’t even gotten a chance to get another word out.Tamara let out a helpless sigh without meaning to, then turned to see Cheryl and Jonathan staring at her.“Uncle Jon, Aunt Cheryl, what’s wrong?”Why were they staring at her like that?“Tammy, could you come over for a second?” Jonathan called Tamara over to him sternly.Tamara held Mela
The maid said, “They are Mr. Gladwell and Mr. Lynch.”Tamara was rendered speechless.It was James and Sebastian.Were they going mad or something?Why would they seek her out at the same time?Tamara’s hair was still as messy as a bird’s nest. She replied a moment later, “Tell them I’m not here.”The maid looked a bit embarrassed. “I told them that you were still asleep…”Tamara didn’t know what else to say.She cast a flat look at the maid, then said in an exasperated tone, “Alright, fine. You can leave now.”The maid nodded.Tamara washed up and changed her clothes. She finished getting ready and realized an hour had gone by.She looked at the two men before her at the entrance and asked in a helpless tone, “What are you two doing here?”James spoke first. “I wanted to invite you to my studio for a visit. I’ve made a bunch of stylistic changes since the last time. I think you’ll like it.”Sebastian glared at him coldly. “Well, you’re probably wrong.”James remained sil
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
