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
"What?"Tamara was confused. She totally did not understand what Anthony was talking about.She ruffled her hair with annoyance. "Anthony, I don't know what you're talking about, but I have nothing to do with the things between the two of you. If something has happened, you shouldn't be coming to me."Upon saying that, she directly hung up the call.She was no longer sleepy after being interrupted, and she looked very sullen.Sebastian opened the door and came in to see her looking like that. He immediately went to her and asked, "What's the matter? Did you have a nightmare?"Tamara looked at him, then she immediately hugged him. "Dear, I'm not awake…"Sebastian was a little helpless. "Did someone wake you up?"Tamara responded with a hum while nuzzling her face in his chest.Sebastian carried her in his arms and walked toward the bathroom. "Just get up since you can't sleep anymore, and we'll take a walk together."Tamara was feeling very reluctant. However, she could not go
Anthony's face broke into a sorrowful smile. Looking at Helena, he was torn between emotions.Helena was very cool and collected. She looked at Anthony and calmly said, "I know you have someone else in your heart. I lost my feelings for you when I found out about this. I am not unwanted, and it's not like I have to be with you. So, let's break up."She had wanted to communicate that since the beginning. However, after receiving a definite answer from Tamara, she discontinued all contact with Anthony. She went as far as blocking him on all platforms.Helena had never considered this to be a complicated matter. In her view, if they were incompatible, the straightforward solution would be to end their relationship.Anthony looked sullen. "Are you sure you want to break up with me?"Helena raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter? You disagree?""Yes, I don't agree."Anthony fixed his gaze upon her with an astonishingly serene and earnest expression before he uttered, "I like you, and
Tamara looked at him in a daze, then she sighed. "Mm-hmm. You're right."Sebastian wore a gentle smile, addressing the situation before him. "If they can overcome this hurdle and find a way to be together, it would prove the strength of their love. Yet, if they can't resolve their differences, it might be better to end things sooner. Otherwise, they could face even greater heartache in the future."Tamara looked at him and said nothing. She still felt like a mess.Sebastian glanced at her and said, "Do you want to roam around in the city?"Tamara hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Oh, alright."Both of them left the villa and drove downtown to wander around.Sebastian parked his car right outside the mall. As Tamara laid eyes on the familiar sight, she was taken aback. "Why did you bring me here?"Sebastian said softly, "Didn't they say retail therapy can uplift one's spirits? That's why I brought you here, to shop and hopefully make you feel better."Tamara was
