Jonathan could not stand her looking so apologetic. He waved and said, “Alright, enough. It’s fine as long as you know you’ve made a mistake. You just need to be careful next time. Cheryl and I are going to leave now. Take a good rest now that you’re back.”Cheryl stood up and left with Jonathan.Hugo smiled and quipped, “With all the thrill and excitement on your trip, your honeymoon has certainly surpassed the typical ones in terms of interest.”Tamara looked at Hugo. After some hesitations, she said, “You’re right. In general, Sebastian and I still had a lot of fun.”“Mm-hmm. As long as you had fun.” Hugo nodded.Sandy looked tense. She glanced at Tamara, then she looked at Sebastian and said in a gentle tone, “Seb, I know your trip this time was thrilling. Did you get hurt?”Sebastian said coldly, “No.”Sandy felt rejected, so she looked a little down. Nonetheless, she still said, “It’s good that you’re not hurt.”Hugo said, “Let’s leave and let the youngsters have a good c
Helena looked a little hesitant, as if she had no idea how to begin.Tamara and Sebastian exchanged glances, and then Sebastian led Thomas, Caleb, and Melanie upstairs.Only the two girls were left in the living room.Tamara hugged a pillow and looked at Helena a little helplessly. "Go on then."After a prolonged pause, Helena mustered the courage to face Tamara and uttered, "I want to know who occupies Anthony's thoughts."Tamara was taken aback.She had never expected Helena to ask her that question. Furthermore, Anthony always wore a stoic and icy expression. He ought to have kept it hidden very well. How could someone as inattentive as Helena have noticed?Tamara only pondered for a brief moment before she said, "How did you know?"Helena put on a forced smile. "It's often said that love can make women foolish, but their intuition can be surprisingly accurate. I've noticed that he often gets lost in a daze while staring at me. It felt as though he was seeing someone else th
Helena's surprise was evident, but it quickly transformed into a smile. "Mm-hmm. I'm glad I know the truth now. Thank you, Tamara."Tamara responded with a hum and said nothing else.Sebastian was sitting on the pink carpet upstairs. He was hugging Melanie and playing with the building blocks with her.Meanwhile, Thomas and Caleb were sitting up straight on the side, and their gaze fixed miserably upon the building blocks. Thomas had an idea and spoke up, saying, "Daddy, since you want to stay here and play with the building blocks with Melanie, Caleb and I are going to look for Mommy.""No," said Sebastian in a deep voice. "Both of you either sit here like good boys or go back to your room to do your homework."Thomas was left speechless by the statement. In contrast, Caleb displayed his obedience. "I've already completed my homework, Daddy."Sebastian was caught off guard, and he glanced at Caleb. "In that case, work on some practice tests then."Caleb couldn't say anything.
Sebastian stared deeply at her. "I can't sleep without you."Tamara was rendered speechless by his words. With a peculiar expression on her face, she gazed at him before asking, "Are you unable to sleep, or is there something else on your mind?"Sebastian's sexy Adam's apple moved as he swallowed. Then he said, "What do you think?"Tamara did not immediately reply to him. She had no intention of saying it or even contemplating it. All she wanted was to sleep next to Melly!"I've already promised Melly. You can't make me break my promise, can you? Don't you love Melly the most?" said Tamara.Sebastian had no way to respond to that. Tamara grinned as she walked past him and went straight upstairs.Sebastian closed his eyes, but a faint smile appeared on his face very quickly.…Later that night, Tamara carefully rolled over in bed and glanced at Melanie, who was sound asleep. She could not help but stare at the pitch-black room and sigh softly.Why was she having trouble falli
Sebastian smiled helplessly. "Mm-hmm. You're right."Tamara followed behind them. She could not help but shake her head when she saw the heartwarming sight of them getting along and how easily Sebastian resolved the crisis.She clicked her tongue, thinking he was simply a sucker for his daughter. He could forgo his image and his pride in front of his daughter.Thomas and Caleb were already waiting for them at the dining table.When they saw them coming over, they greeted them with impeccable manners.The family had breakfast together before Sebastian and Tamara took the children to kindergarten.Tamara stood at the entrance of the kindergarten and watched the three children enter before breaking her gaze."Tammy, we still have two more weeks left on our honeymoon. Is there anywhere else you'd like to go?" Sebastian looked at her.Tamara pondered for a moment before saying, "I don't want to go anywhere. I want to stay home and spend time with the children."Sebastian raised an
Sympathy welled up within Sebastian as he regarded her, and after a brief pause, he gently conceded, "Maybe you're right."Tamara was caught off guard, her eyes widening in surprise as she looked at him.Sebastian said softly, "If she's not willing to wake up, there must be something in her dream that she can't bear to part with."Tamara smiled. "Are you consoling me?"Contrary to Tamara's expectation, Sebastian simply replied, "No."Tamara's smile stiffened. "How can this be possible?""Even a curse has manifested. What else is deemed impossible in this world?" Sebastian regarded her with a serious gaze, his unwavering expression revealing his firm conviction in his words.Tamara gave it a deep thought before saying, "Mm-mm. Maybe that's what's happening.""Let's go."Sebastian wrapped his arm around her and led her toward the hospital's exit. "Maybe she'll wake up when she wants to.""Mm-hmm."Both of their voices got further and further away.A towering figure emerged an
Hugo's eyes briefly betrayed a tinge of dejection as he caught on to their uneasiness. Nevertheless, it swiftly vanished."Thomas, Caleb, Melly, come with me. I have a surprise for you, and it's waiting for you there," he said, opening the glass door.Thomas and Caleb instinctively looked at Tamara. It was after she nodded that they followed Hugo.Jeremiah's eyes landed on Tamara and Sebastian, and a smile formed on his face. "It seems like you've had a good rest. You're looking much better than before."Tamara and Sebastian sat on the couch.Sebastian said coldly, "Are you hoping we'll be unwell?"Jeremiah's smile stiffened, and he robotically turned to look at Henry. "Was that what I meant?"Henry, who was engrossed in his book, looked up at Jeremiah with a perplexed expression. "Huh? What did you say?"Jeremiah was speechless.Then, Helena chimed in, "Seb, aren't you being too sensitive?"Sebastian shot her a glance and said nothing.Tamara quickly said, "He's just too fr
Caleb hesitated at first but eventually nodded and said, "I had fun."Having been raised within the Custry family, Caleb still cherished a sense of attachment toward Hugo. Regardless of any previous misunderstandings, he believed everything could be resolved easily as long as Hugo extended an olive branch.The only one who was struggling to come to terms was Thomas. Thomas's visage betrayed a whirlwind of emotions, a maelstrom of conflicting sentiments swirling beneath the surface. His face oscillated between moments of doubt and puzzlement as if caught in a perpetual struggle. After a prolonged pause, he expelled a heavy breath as though relinquishing the weight of his internal battle.Tamara's voice carried a hint of concern as she addressed Thomas. "Thomas, what's going on in your mind?"Thomas met Tamara's gaze and spoke earnestly. "Mommy, I've been thinking about whether I want to accept him as my grandpa or not."Tamara arched an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. "What exactl
