“Uh…Mr. Moore…are you planning to stay the night?” probed Natalie tentatively.Jason quirked a brow. “Do you expect me to navigate the winding mountain road at night?”Natalie immediately shook her head. “Don’t. It’s too dangerous.”The mountain roads here were steep and dangerous. He could drive off a cliff at any given moment!Jason smiled and said, “Hence why I will be staying the night here.”Natalie fell silent.She bit her lips again, thinking, “So he’s going to stay the night, but there’s only one bed. Where is he going to sleep?”“Uh…you can have the bed. I’ll share my mom’s bed tonight,” mumbled Natalie.Jason took off his coat. “Very well.”Natalie left the room. Upon arriving at her parents’ room, she was immediately turned away.She tried again and went to her aunt’s room but couldn’t even open the door.Natalie stood in the empty living room and stared at the wooden couch.She sighed.After accepting her fate, she returned to her room and saw Jason had settled
Natalie widened her eyes in shock. All her thoughts vanished without a trace. She sat up to observe Jason’s pale face. “What’s wrong, Mr. Moore?”Jason placed a hand over his abdomen and furrowed his brows in pain. “I think I have gastric.”Natalie immediately sprung out of bed to find some medicine for him. Jason seemed to be in a serious condition. His forehead was coated with sweat.All in all, he looked terrible!Natalie immediately called for an ambulance. She didn’t want to waste a second in fear of something terrible happening to Jason.Her commotion woke up the entire household. After giving a brief explanation, Natalie got in the ambulance with Jason.…In Clacton, at a Moore Corporation hospital.Jason was sent to the emergency room while Natalie paced around outside nervously.After some time, the doctor came out of the room. He took off his mask and said, “He has gastric perforation. We managed to cure it before it got worse. What did he eat before this?”Natalie
After a while, Tamara released Jason’s wrist. “You have to remember to take three meals a day. Your stomach is not in the best condition right now.”Jason nodded and promised, “I will.”Tamara smiled at Natalie. “Thank you for taking care of him.”Natalie waved her hand nervously. “It’s my job.”Tamara stood up. “I have to go. I’ll come by later.”Jason nodded.He turned to Natalie. “Please see Tammy off.”Natalie was surprised by this, but her body reacted before she even realized it. Tamara was already heading for the door by then.Natalie found herself walking up to Tamara. She composed her trembling heart.Outside the ward, Natalie stopped Tamara unconsciously. “Miss Moore.”Tamara quirked an eyebrow at her. “What’s up?”Natalie pursed her lips. At the thought of her feelings, she hurried to ask, “Do you know what Mr. Moore is up to these days?”Tamara tilted her head as she observed Natalie’s nervousness. A thought appeared in her mind, and Tamara smirked, “Please take
Tamara stopped in her tracks and stared at the expensive car. She cast a glance to the side. A figure was lurking behind a tree not far away from where she was standing. She sneered slightly, “No thanks. I can drive myself.” With that, she headed toward the parking lot.However, the bodyguard stopped her. “Miss, your car has just been sent for maintenance.”Tamara stared blankly at the car’s window as if she could see the man inside. She felt a little helpless. Nevertheless, she stood her ground and declared, “I’ll take a taxi then.”In any case, she wouldn’t get in his car.The bodyguard grimaced. “Miss, Mr. Lynch has been waiting for you for over an hour.”“He likes to wait around. What does it have to do with me?” Tamara gave the bodyguard a cold look and walked toward the roadside.The bodyguard’s jaw fell open.He looked helplessly at the car. The car door opened, and a tall figure walked out.Crowds of people flowed in and out of the hospital as Sebastian approached T
Roxy was still too green. Tamara had been observing her quietly. She wanted to see what Roxy was planning to do.However, after two days of observing Roxy, Tamara could guess what the girl had in mind. It seemed that Roxy wanted to ruin the couple’s relationship. Roxy was indifferent toward Sebastian, but her hatred for Tamara was as clear as day. Thinking back to the resentful look Roxy had given her when Rico was declared dead, Tamara knew the girl wanted revenge for her brother.When Tamara came to this conclusion, she felt dejected. She owed Rico her life. That was why she planned to take Roxy under her wings. However, she wanted to teach Roxy a lesson.“Let’s end this within the next two days. It’s getting boring,” muttered Tamara softly.There were many ways to toy with Roxy. But Tamara decided to let the girl off this time.The girl just needed to learn her lesson.“Okay, I’m right behind you. Ask the driver to stop the car,” said Sebastian in his low voice.Tamar
Sebastian let out a low chuckle and bent down slightly. He trapped Tamara against the car seat. “Didn’t you want to play chase? Let me satisfy you.”Tamara blinked up at him expectantly. “How are you planning to satisfy me?”“You shouldn’t have run from me!” Sebastian leaned down and caught Tamara’s lips.He was demanding and forceful. Tamara felt like she was being devoured by a beast.Tamara’s face turned bright red. She wrapped her arms around Sebastian’s neck and returned the favor.“Hey. This isn’t the right reaction.” Sebastian suddenly stopped in his action. He groaned against her lips in annoyance.Sebastian’s actions made Tamara feel like she had been slapped in the face and caused her to suppress all of her emotions.“Sebastian Lynch! Do you really think I can continue with the act right now?” Tamara’s eyes were filled with passion.Sebastian smirked and pecked her lips. “No. You were the one who started it, so you have to see it to the end.”Tamara felt stupid.She
Joanthan narrowed his eyes at Sebastian. “What happened?”Cheryl furrowed her brow as she looked at Roxy. The girl was shaking uncontrollably, clearly terrified for her life. However, they couldn’t gauge her true emotions as she kept her gaze lowered.Cheryl snorted before turning to Jonathan. “I’m also curious about what happened.”Jonathan blinked at his wife.Why was she staring at him like that?What did he have anything to do with this?Jonathan was racking his brain for an explanation.Joseph furrowed his brows at Roxy. He suddenly turned his attention to Tamara. “Tammy, you were the one who brought her home, right?”“That’s right,” stated Tamara coldly.Joseph glanced at Roxy. “What happened? Hurry up and come clean.”Roxy trembled slightly. She looked at Sebastian unconsciously before she quickly retracted her gaze. She bit her lips and said nothing.She wasn’t going to say anything.Roxy wanted to create an illusion that something had happened between her and Sebas
Tamara stared at Roxy in silence. “I’m sorry about your brother, and I have done all I could to compensate for him. I will even fulfill your every desire. Is that not enough? Are you expecting me to give up my life to compensate for your brother’s?”Roxy glared at her with resentment. “Yes, that’s exactly what I want from you. My brother wouldn’t have died if it weren’t for you.”“How pathetic.” Tamara looked at her coldly. “If your brother knew what kind of person you are, he would be so heartbroken.”“Bullshit!” Roxy grew furious. “My brother wouldn’t be heartbroken. He would side with me!”Tamara stared at her calmly. She could make out the stubbornness and paranoia in Roxy’s eyes. She kept silent and gave the nearby maid a look before sitting next to Sebastian.The maid understood immediately and grabbed Roxy, dragging her out of the manor. There was no point in talking to someone like Roxy. It was better to just get rid of her.“So, you’ve known all along what she planned
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
