Sebastian said in a deep voice, “Well, according to the latest update I got, there’s still no trace of her.”Tamara looked puzzled and asked, “Is Nammu Bay really big?”Sebastian pondered for a moment before saying, “Not really.”“Then why is there no trace of her at all?” Tamara asked in confusion.Sebastian played with her hand for a long moment before saying, “Either she really disappeared, or someone’s hiding her from us.”Tamara looked astonished, saying, “She’s being hidden?”“That’s the only way to explain why there have been no traces of her.” Sebastian’s gaze turned sharp, then he said, “The only people who can hide her this well can only be the Zimmerman family.” Tamara pursed her lips and analyzed the situation. “I suppose only the Zimmerman family has this ability, but why would they hide Margot from us? I’ve heard Margot talk about them before. I remember her saying that the head of the Zimmerman family treated her well.”Sebastian’s tone turned cold as he stated,
Sebastian did not expect her to say this. He immediately froze, then reached out and pulled her delicate soft body into his arms. He said a little darkly, “Regardless, we’re already a married couple.”Tamara remained silent.Even though that was true, she felt uncomfortable.It was a powerful feeling that settled uncomfortably in her chest. She knew it wasn’t good to feel this way, but she couldn’t control it. What could she do?Sebastian kissed her earlobe, then said in a deep voice, “I have a suggestion to make. How about I propose to you now?” Tamara was stunned, “You’re proposing to me right now?”Sebastian hummed in assent. Then, he flattened her body on the bed and climbed on top of her. He gazed into her eyes with his dark ones. “Miss Tamara Moore, would you do me the honor of marrying me?”Tamara blinked and looked dumbfounded. “Just like that?”Sebastian leaned over and kissed all over her lips and face. “Isn’t that enough?”Tamara was speechless. “Sebastian, are you
Randy looked at Tamara shyly, then reached out to scratch his head before speaking, “Nice to meet you. I just wanted to befriend you. I’m also wondering if you have a boyfriend or not.”“I’m married,” Tamara said coldly. Without sparing Randy another glance, she continued to run forward.Randy did not expect Tamara to refuse him so quickly. He froze for a moment, then reached up to touch his face. “Am I not handsome enough?”Tamara did not think much about Randy at all. After running for half an hour, she headed back to the villa. Her face was flushed red, and her forehead was drenched in sweat, as she had just finished working out.When Mr. Powell saw Tamara walk in, he said, “Mrs. Lynch, you’re back just in time. Breakfast is ready. You can wash up and eat right away.”Tamara nodded. “Okay, thanks.”Then, she turned around and walked upstairs. She happened to run into Sebastian, who was making his way downstairs.Tamara scoffed at him before walking right past him, completely
The few of them who were in the living room paused. They turned toward the noise source and saw Old Mrs. Moore coming down the stairs. She was staring straight at Tamara as she walked closer. After giving Tamara a once-over, she muttered disappointedly, “You’re not Alex.”Tamara’s nose pricked, and she was on the verge of a breakdown. Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand. She turned her head unconsciously and realized Sebastian was giving her a comforting look. The warmth from his hand calmed her down.“You’re not Alex, yet why do you look exactly like her?” Old Mrs. Moore tilted her head in confusion. She really thought Alex had returned when she saw Tamara.But after she realized the truth, she was overcome by confusion.Why did the two of them look so alike?Tamara pursed her lips and said nothing. She wanted to tell the truth that she was Alex’s daughter as well as Old Mrs. Moore’s granddaughter!Jonathan stalked closer and held Old Mrs. Moore’s arm. “Mom, it’s just a coinciden
Tamara gazed at the blooming flowers in the garden. They looked oddly similar to those at the Simmons residence. Tamara suspected these flowers were her mother’s favorite, and Old Mrs. Moore planted them to remember Alex.But the old woman was losing more memory by the day. Would she also forget about Alex if her condition worsened?Tamara was unsure of the answer and was afraid to know the truth.“Tammy,” called out the man beside her.Tamara snapped around and was met with Sebastian’s warm gaze.Tamara smiled faintly and said, “I know we can’t cure her, but I also can’t bring myself to accept it.”Sebastian pulled her into his arms. “This is just how things are. We will also walk in her footsteps when the time comes.”Tamara breathed in the flowery aroma around them. She gradually calmed down as the low voice floated over her.Sebastian’s words had worked somehow. Tamara found herself at peace again.After a while, Joseph returned to them.Tamara sprang up. “So?”Joseph gr
Tamara came to stand beside Cheryl and Jonathan. The rest of them closely watched over Old Mrs. Moore’s every move.The old woman looked around the place carefully as if she was burning the layout into her mind. Her excitement had dimmed and was replaced with sadness. She laughed suddenly.“Tammy, did your mother live a happy life?” Old Mrs. Moore smiled at Tamara.Tamara’s jaw fell open. She looked at Old Mrs. Moore in disbelief. “Grandma, you…”The old woman ignored Tamara’s shock. She continued looking around the place. “These were all your mother’s favorite. I’m happy as long as she was.”She took a seat on the couch. “I’m staying here.”Tamara came up to her. “You remember me?”Old Mrs. Moore chuckled dotingly at her. “Of course, I remember you.”Tamara checked the old woman’s pulse and was shocked to feel it was beating steadily. It was a mess before!How could this be?Was it because they brought the old woman over?Tamara wasn’t sure how things turned out the way the
Tamara left the Moore manor.She never moved back in once she moved out.Jonathan and Cheryl kept their mouth shut on this matter. The young couple had been through a lot. If they were to deny the young couple any further, that would just be too cruel of them.Besides, Sebastian had always taken great care of Tamara. Jonathan and Cheryl were pleased with having Sebastian as their nephew-in-law.…Joseph was sitting in the living room when his phone buzzed. He raised an eyebrow at it. It was a friend request. Joseph clicked on the request. The profile picture was pink, and there was a picture of a fox on it. The username was simple, too. It was “Kim.”It must be Kimberly Lore.Joseph thought of the star jar. He knew of Kimberly’s feelings for him and had been wanting to find a chance to come clean with her. But one thing led to another, and he had no time to deal with this matter. This seemed like a good opportunity.He accepted the friend request and sent a message,
“Let’s head in,” smiled Joseph.Kimberly nodded.She was too cute!Joseph sucked in a breath before he promptly marched inside.The interior decoration was cozy, with only a few tables and chairs. When they entered, there was just one other table inside, which was occupied. That table of people was enjoying some beer.Joseph furrowed his eyebrows at the sight of it all. While he was still picking out a spot, Kimberly’s head appeared behind him, and she greeted the lady behind the counter. “Hello, Aunt Colstone.”When the lady heard her voice, she unconsciously looked up. Her eyes lit up when she saw it was Kimberly. “Kim, you’re here. It’s been so long. Were you busy?”Kimberly took a seat obediently and nodded. “I was quite busy. I’ll have my usual Aunt Colstone.”She then turned to Joseph. “The menu is on the wall. You can have a look at it.”Joseph shrugged and muttered faintly, “I’ll have what you’re having.”Kimberly gave her orders to Aunt Colstone with reddened cheeks.
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
