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
Tamara saw the dangerous glint behind Sebastian's smile and immediately chirped, "No, I'll think about it. I'll let you know when I come to a decision."The smile on Sebastian's face deepened. He waved the waiter over to give their orders.Tamara got up from her seat. "Excuse me while I use the washroom.""Okay," nodded Sebastian.Tamara headed for the washroom. There was one inside the restaurant, so she didn't have to leave. After relieving herself, Tamara touched up on her makeup in front of the mirror.Unperturbed by the sudden appearance of someone from the men's washroom, Tamara continued with her task, placing her makeup back into her bag, seemingly unaffected. She readied herself to depart without acknowledging the passerby.But that person suddenly blocked her off."Hello…I never expect to run into you here," sounded a familiar voice. Tamara's brows knitted together at the voice. She turned around and saw a charming man smiling at her.Tamara stared at the man. "And yo
When Tamara returned to her seat, she noticed that the food had already been served. "They're fast," she remarked, impressed by the efficient service.Sebastian chuckled. "No. You just took a long time."Tamara rolled her eyes.She muttered silently to herself, "Fine."She decided to be the bigger person this time and let it slide.Besides, it was true that she was gone longer than usual. Randy had taken up some of her time.Tamara felt nothing toward Randy, so she didn't think much about their interaction.She dug into her food like a hungry wolf. In the face of delicious food, Tamara's negative emotions disappeared without a trace.Sebastian mused, "So it's true. The quickest way to cheer a girl up is through shopping and food."With gentle precision, Sebastian skillfully peeled the prawns for Tamara. Seeing the contentment and satisfaction on her face as she relished each bite, he felt his mood lifting too. "Where do you want to go later?" asked Sebastian.Tamara shook h
