Tamara had meant to push his hands away, but when she looked into his dark eyes, she found herself mesmerized. It made her heart soften.Her eyelashes quivered, then she nodded softly a moment later. “Alright.”Sebastian’s chest filled with glee as he stared at the demure expression on Tamara’s face. It had been four years since he’d last felt this fulfilled.He reached out to stroke her cheek, then inched his handsome face closer.At this moment, the doorbell rang.Tamara pushed him away. “Go get the door!”Sebastian’s thin, sexy lips curled into a charming smile. Then, he got up and passed her her clothes.There was no rush, after all.His life with Tammy was just about to get started.Tamara noticed Sebastian still staring at her after she grabbed her clothes. He appeared to be taking in all of her with his eyes. Her brow furrowed slightly. “I want you out.”Sebastian was taken aback. “Why?”“I need to get changed.” Tamara tightened her grip on the sheets.Sebastian cock
Tamara glanced at Sebastian curiously. “We’re getting our dinner here?”Sebastian put an arm around her shoulders. “I’ve been told that the chef here is pretty famous. I wanted to bring you here to try the food.”Tamara was rendered speechless.How certain was Sebastian that their lives wouldn’t be at risk so high up?When he saw the dumbfounded expression on her face, he chuckled deeply. “Don’t worry. It will be safe.”Tamara wanted to say something but didn’t know how to do so.Sebastian urged her toward the restaurant and onto an elevator. The elevator was made of transparent glass, so the scenery outside was visible from the inside.As the elevator rose, their field of vision grew.Tamara subconsciously burrowed herself into Sebastian’s embrace. “Are you sure it will be fine?”Sebastian leaned over and kissed her cheek. “Don’t worry. I’m here, aren’t I?”Tamara’s eyelashes fluttered. It wasn’t that she didn’t appreciate the romantic gesture. Sebastian’s presence would mak
“No, I don’t want to stop. I will never want to stop.”Tamara’s eyelashes fluttered, then she let out a loud laugh. “Alright. You can do as you please.”Sebastian flicked her nose playfully, then went back to his seat.They enjoyed the beautiful night scenery while eating. After they were done, they made their way back to the hotel.Tamara had meant to video call the kids, but Sebastian had swept her off her feet upon entering the room.Before she could utter a word of protest, Sebastian had thrown her onto the bed.…Tamara struggled to open her eyes the next day. She was exhausted to the bone and wished she could sleep forever. She extended her hand and felt around, only to discover the empty space next to her. Even the sheets were cold.Her eyes widened. At this moment, her phone rang.Tamara hurriedly checked her phone and saw that Sebastian was calling her. She answered, “Hello. Sebastian?”“Yeah, it’s me. I’m in a meeting right now. Lunch has been set out on the table.
Tamara lifted her gaze and watched Sebastian’s tall figure leave the room. He was looking straight at her.“All done?”Tamara looked elated. She got up and rushed up to him.Sebastian curved an arm around her thin waist, then fiercely kissed her lips. Then, he looked up at Jervis and said, “Jervis, she’s my wife.”Tamara looked a little dumbfounded. What was happening?Jervis got up and walked over. The smile on his face seemed to widen. “Oh, I didn’t know she’s your wife. She looks really young. I could’ve sworn that she was single.”Sebastian furrowed his brows, and a cold, hostile aura seemed to radiate off his body. “Jervis, don’t get any weird ideas in your head. Even if she’s single, you’re not allowed anywhere near her! Otherwise, I’m calling off our collaboration.”Tamara suddenly realized the tension in the air. From their conversation, she discerned that Jervis had probably approached her on purpose and planned to pick her up just moments ago!That shocked her greatly
Tamara’s eyes widened. “What’s wrong?”“I feel ill.” Sebastian’s deep voice rang out. “I don’t know why, but every part of me hurts.”Tamara was instantly wide awake. She rushed up, forgetting to put on her shoes. “Hang in there, Sebastian. I’m on my way to you right now. Can you please open the door for me?”“Yes…” Sebastian said with difficulty. When Tamara heard his voice, it sounded as if the man was on the verge of dying.She started getting anxious and rushed next door.“Sebastian, I’m outside. Open the door. Let me take a look at you.” Tamara tightened the grip on her phone as beads of sweat formed on her forehead.“Okay.”Sebastian hung up the call after that.A moment later, the door was pulled open. Tamara hurried inside and saw how pale Sebastian had gotten. She walked him to the sofa. “How are you feeling right now?”Sebastian’s brows furrowed tightly. “Not good.”Tamara grabbed his arm and took his pulse. She found that his heart was beating erratically, and he s
“Hello?”It was a call from Margot. Tamara picked up the phone call without any hesitation.“Tammy, I’m heading back to Londsville.”Through the phone, Margot’s voice was tinged with exhaustion. It sounded as if she had been through a lot.Tamara was taken aback and inquired, “Why so abrupt? Didn’t you swear you’d expand 1999’s business all the way to Clacton?”Margot smiled. “What do you know? Benjamin and Kayla are getting married soon. Why should I even be in Clacton anymore? To make a fool out of myself?”Tamara’s brows furrowed. “They’re getting married? Really?”When they ran into Benjamin and Kayla at Joker’s Clubhouse that day, even though they had been intimate with each other, it was clear that Kayla had been the one to initiate everything.Tamara had even purposefully humiliated him in public, but the man did not appear to react at all.Tamara deduced that Benjamin must have been willing to accept it as punishment.However, that was not the case now.Benjamin and
Sebastian noticed Tamara’s exasperation and chuckled lowly, “What’s wrong?”Tamara pressed her lips together. “I don’t think the information you just provided me with was all that insightful. I could have just as easily asked one of Benjamin’s friends. I’m sure I’d get the same answers.”Sebastian smiled charmingly. “He’s not very interesting. If you’re looking for drama, I don’t think he’s the right person to focus on.”Sebastian and Benjamin met in high school. At the time, Sebastian had been a lone wolf, yet Benjamin would always be around to pester him.After that, they even went to the same college. Their friendship progressed further after that. Unless it was something directly related to him, Sebastian never paid Benjamin’s affairs any mind.He only knew about Benjamin and Kayla being together because Benjamin talked his ear off about it multiple times.Tamara sighed helplessly. “Benjamin’s going to marry Kayla soon. Why do you suppose so many scumbags exist in this world?
Everyone turned to look at Jonathan.Jonathan glared coldly at Sebastian. “Do you think our family needs charity from you?”Cheryl cocked a brow but remained quiet otherwise. She even took a seat next to her husband.Old Mrs. Moore was still sporting a wide grin. She knew what her son was doing. It was clear that Jonathan wanted to stir up some trouble for Sebastian.Jason was reading a script. When he heard Jonathan speak, he looked up at his father, then exchanged an exasperated glance with Jayden.Jordan wore a hostile expression and remained silent.Joseph did not even seem bothered by what was happening. All he could think about was Margot. Why on earth did she leave?The living room instantly fell tense.Tamara unconsciously clutched Sebastian’s clothes. She thought about ways to deal with her uncle.Sebastian looked over and shot her a steady, secure look.Then, he turned toward Jonathan. “I just meant to express my sincerity with these gifts. I didn’t mean to offend a
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
