Benjamin smiled faintly. “Margot said the mixologist has just arrived. We’ll have to wait awhile.”

Sebastian loosened his tie and sat on the couch. For some reason, the scene of Margot defending Tamara from him flashed across his mind. He couldn’t help but ask, “When are you planning to win that woman over?”

Benjamin was stunned. “What?”

“Nothing.”

Just then, a waiter knocked on the door and entered, leaving a single glass on the table.

Sebastian frowned. “Only one glass?”

Benjamin explained, “This mixologist is a peculiar one. She only prepares three drinks a day. And those three drinks are this place’s specialty.”

Sebastian picked up the glass and examined it. It didn’t look any different from other drinks. Upon smelling it, it didn’t smell like much either.

He really couldn’t believe that this was their specialty.

His annoyance flared, and he downed the entire glass.

It had a nice burn to it and tasted good…

Sebastian furrowed his eyebrows and struggled to describe the taste when he suddenly froze.

Benjamin was paying close attention to Sebastian. When he saw his reaction, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes in shock. “You’re pulling my leg. Did it really work? Did you regain your sense of taste?”

Sebastian stared at the empty glass. The taste still lingered on his tongue. He… could taste it.

He had lost his sense of taste for many years now. Was he finally able to taste again?

Sebastian put down the glass and ate a grape from the plate. Although he could feel the grape’s softness, he could not taste it.

He frowned. “Why is the grape tasteless?”

Benjamin tried the grapes. “It doesn’t. It tastes sour.”

Sebastian tried the strawberries, but they were tasteless too.

It was as if the taste earlier was nothing but his imagination.

His face fell as he stared blankly at the glass.

Benjamin was bursting with curiosity. “What’s wrong?”

“I wish to meet the mixologist,” Sebastian answered swiftly.

Benjamin didn’t know how to react, but upon seeing how determined Sebastian was, he got up to look for Margot. He came back soon after and shrugged regretfully. “The mixologist left.”

Sebastian sprang up. “What about the drinks? Are there any more?”

“All three glasses have been sold.”

Sebastian sighed and massaged his temple.

Interesting. He could taste the drink but nothing else. What sorcery was this?

He was even more curious about the mixologist.

Tamara brought back her suitcase when she bumped into Sebastian. The man stared coldly at her before his gaze fell on her suitcase. He narrowed his eyes.

“What’s that?”

Tamara pulled out her phone. “My clothes.”

“Toss them,” said Sebastian coldly.

“Why?” Tamara held up her phone and looked at him in confusion.

This man was such a control freak. He was even trying to control what she wore.

Sebastian glanced at the suitcase, and disgust flashed across his eyes. “I won’t allow anything from the Simmons family in my house. It disgusts me.”

Tamara wanted to roll her eyes.

Sebastian saw Tamara biting down on her lip and could feel his emotions swirling within. “Toss them or get out!”

Right after he said that, he went back to his room.

When Sebastian, who had just come upstairs, saw how happy Tamara looked, he furrowed his eyebrows and walked in. “Didn’t I ask you to toss them? Why are you here?”Tamara shot a glance at him and pulled out her phone. “Mr. Lynch, everything in the suitcase is my private property. You have no say in what I do with them. If you still wish to order me around, my body might not be able to take it.”Tamara rubbed her stomach to strengthen her point.

She paled and hurriedly typed on her phone, “That was given to me by my mother. Give it back.”The man, however, merely chuckled cruelly. “Are you mute? Do you want it back? Pay up!”Tamara stared deeply at the man and bit her lip. She turned to Quentin and signed, “How much do you owe them?”Quentin had been following her with his eyes. After all, she was the only person who could save the Simmons family.“1.5 million dollars. Tammy, my dear sister, you have to save our family. And that pendant.

They’re asking how much scented tea we’d like to order.”Sebastian paused. He hinted for Jerome to pass him the tablet.Jerome sighed. “I thought the tea barista had stopped making tea. If it weren’t for the Simmons family, you’ve bought a lot more scented tea much earlier.”Sebast

When she saw Tamara, she took her hand. “What’s wrong, Tammy?”Tamara nodded and explained, “My mother’s gift was taken away by a bunch of debt collectors. My family owes them 1.5 million dollars. I don’t have enough to pay them off. That’s why I came asking for your help.”“It’s okay. We’ll think of something. Come, let’s head in first.” Margot felt pity for her and brought Tamara inside.Just as the two entered, Sebastian’s car came to a stop.

She was pregnant, yet she still frequented a place like this.

    This was Margot’s office, and it looked as if Tamara was familiar with this place.Hadn’t she been hidden away from the world by her family? Yet, she was familiar with a place like this…Sebastian was frozen in his spot and watched as the numbers on the elevator went down. He wanted to see which floor the elevator would stop at.“What are you doing here, Sebastian?”Benjamin had just walked out of Margot’s office when he saw Sebastian standing by the elevator.Sebastian turned to him. “Did you manage to get anything out of her?”Benjamin smiled softly. “Not really. But I do know that the mixologist is a married woman.”Sebastian fell silent.Benjamin noticed his silence and said, “How’s that? Pretty good, right?”Sebastian turned his gaze to the lift.

    “Damn it! I don’t understand sign language!” Darkness marred Sebastian’s features as he shot an unfriendly scowl at Tamara.However, the latter refused to waste her breath on him anymore. She turned on her heels and headed upstairs. “Did I say you could leave?” Sebastian’s arm instantly shot forward to grab her wrist. With a forceful yank, he pulled her into his arms.Tamara’s back crashed against Sebastian’s firm and warm chest. Once they made contact, her heart skipped a beat, and she looked a little panicked as she struggled to break free.“Know your place, Tamara! You’re here for one purpose—to birth my child! You have no authority to throw a tantrum!” Sebastian snarled icily while tightening his iron-like grip on her wrist.Rage seethed from Tamara, who glared viciously at him and thought, “Let go of me!”Only after noticing her anxious state did Sebastian finally release her.Tamara then searched the place, eventually finding a pen and some paper atop a nearby cabinet.

    Tamara sat on the floor in her room upstairs. Several tools were piled up beside her while a pair of safety goggles shielded her eyes. With tweezers, she gingerly placed the last scented tea leaf into a jar before letting out a long, relieved sigh. She exclaimed in her heart, “It’s finally done!” Suddenly, the door swung open, causing Tamara’s head to whip around. Her gaze immediately landed on Sebastian, who stood at the door.His presence caused her expression to darken as she stood and signed at him, “Why didn’t you knock?”Sebastian flashed a prickly look while thundering, “Type whatever you’re saying!”Tamara recalled that Sebastian did not understand sign language, so she frowned while taking out her phone to reiterate her question. She typed: “Why didn’t you knock?”“This is my home,” Sebastian replied with a dangerously low tone.Tamara’s reply was: “But this is my room!” Seeing how aggravated she was, Sebastian felt inexplicably pleased.

    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.

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 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.

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
