"What do you want to eat?" Natasha pulled Margot to their table and handed her the menu with a grin.Margot slowly browsed the menu and asked, "Why does the restaurant feel strange?"Natasha was caught off guard by her question. However, she quickly composed herself and said, "Strange? But I don't feel anything different. Maybe there's some event going on."Margot quirked a brow. "Is that so?"Natasha replied, "Maybe we've just stumbled upon it. Anyway, just order your food.""Alright." Margot selected a few dishes. "What about you?"Natasha shrugged. "I'll go with whatever you're having.""Sure." Margot handed the menu back to the waiter. The waiter took the menu and handed her a red rose. "Miss, you are our 100th customer. You get a rose as a special gift. We hope you enjoy your meal!"Margot accepted it. "Thank you." She brought the rose to her nose, taking in the faint fragrance. A smile appeared on her face.Natasha took out her phone and took several pictures of her.
Natasha had left the dining table. Margot held the diamond ring in her hand and stared at it excitedly.A romantic melody started playing. Soon, a man holding a large bouquet of red roses walked toward her. With each step, the ground beneath his feet lit up as if he were walking on a bridge of light.Margot's eyes watered at the approaching figure. The man was tall, and he was dressed in a black suit. His handsome face, paired with his charming eyes, was staring adoringly at her.He walked up to Margot with the bouquet of roses in his hand. A small smile played on his lips. "Ms. Margot Zimmerman, please forgive my intrusion, but there is a confession I must make. Since I first laid my eyes upon you, I have been having thoughts about you."The crowd had to suppress their cheers at the man's word. They didn't want to ruin the romantic atmosphere. However, they also couldn't stop themselves from laughing.Margot silently gazed at him. Benjamin continued, "I am a lucky man to have bag
Margot noticed Benjamin was in a daze and grew worried. "What's wrong, Benjamin?"Benjamin, however, didn't react.Seeing this, Tamara and Sebastian walked over. Tamara grabbed Benjamin's wrist and carefully checked his condition.After a while, she let go. "He's fine."Margot was confused. "Then why isn't he responding?""I'm fine." Just then, Benjamin suddenly spoke. His voice was a bit hoarse, and he reached up to pinch the bridge of his nose. "I just zoned out for a moment. I was probably too excited."Those scenes flickering in his mind disappeared before he could react. But he was certain they were his memories—memories he had long forgotten.Margot said, "You must be tired. Let's go home and rest."Benjamin nodded. "Okay."The romantic atmosphere soon faded. The lights brightened, and the curtains were drawn back again. As the sunlight streamed in, the people all fell into a daze.The crowd soon dispersed.…Tamara frowned in the car. Sebastian held her hand. "What
After the proposal, Benjamin began to prepare for the wedding.Shane was furious when he received the news. He felt that Benjamin had overstepped his boundary! How could Benjamin decide on such a big matter without consulting him first? Did Benjamin have experience with proposing? He had never done it before! That fucking brat!Shane was angry beyond words. But despite his anger, he still called Benjamin back to discuss the wedding arrangements."I won't stop you since you've made up your mind. However, you have to think this through. Once the wedding is held, the entire Londsville will know about your marriage, and Margot's identity will be exposed. By then, the two of you may have to endure the rumors and gossip. Even the company will be affected by this. So, Benjamin, are you ready to bear the risk?"Shane was tired, and his wrinkled face reflected his old age. He had given his all to ensure the Inkling Corporation's success. And now he would have to go through the trials and
Tamara observed Margot closely. "What are you worried about?"Margot remained silent for a while. "I don't think Benjamin and Sebastian will agree."Tamara asserted, "Sebastian will."Margot sighed. "But I'm not sure if Benjamin will."Tamara pondered for a moment. "That's true. He lost his memories of us. If he didn't, I'm sure he will agree."It was tough to say now.Margot nodded. "So let's forget about it. You can be my bridesmaid first, and then I'll be your bridesmaid next.""Okay," Tamara agreed.It was just an idea. And it was up to Margot to decide on her wedding.In the following days, Benjamin showed Margot numerous wedding plans. Each one was made to be the wedding of the century, one that could leave the world in awe.However, Margot didn't like such ceremonies. She felt they were too extravagant. It didn't fit her idea of a wedding.Margot desired a wedding that was uncomplicated and went off without a hitch. She was fine even if there wasn't a ceremony to begi
Surprise flashed across Margot's face. "You're willing to give me your savings? Are you trying to get me to help with some shady businesses?"Andrew closed his eyes, annoyed by her words. Margot shook her head. "No, thanks."Andrew looked at her. "But you're marrying into the Inkling family. Without a good family background or some insane amount of dowry, the Inkling family would not treat you well."Margot sneered. "I don't care about them. I'm marrying Benjamin, not them."Andrew gave her a solemn look. Seeing her determination, he nodded. "Fine, I won't insist since you've decided."He stood up to leave.Margot watched his retreating figure. Suddenly, she asked, "My mother … have you ever looked for her?"Age was starting to catch up to Andrew. He remained silent for a while before leaving.Margot lowered her gaze, a ghost of a sneer appearing on her face.What difference would it make if Andrew did look for Gwenda? It had been years since Gwenda's death.When Margot exi
"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
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
