Refusing to release his hand, Tamara allowed Sebastian to keep his hold on her. His mannerisms showed that he had already ventured deep into his dream state. Tamara couldn't help but smile faintly. This indicated that her newest scented tea leaves were a success. After he wakes up, she could ask him about his experience.As time ticked away, Tamara remained vigilant by Sebastian's bedside, her hand still firmly clasped in his, as she observed the subtle changes in his expression.Suddenly, Sebastian's eyes snapped open."You're awake. How do you feel?" Tamara asked eagerly.Sebastian sat up. His eyes were tinged with a hint of fatigue, but it quickly disappeared.He gazed into Tamara's bright eyes and suddenly sighed."What's wrong?" Tamara became even more puzzled. "What did you dream about?"What was he thinking about before entering the dream?Sebastian's lips curled slightly. "I dreamt that you were wearing the clothes I bought for you.""What?" Tamara became even more c
"You'll know it when you see it," Sebastian smirked. He leaned in, his warm breath fanning against Tamara's ear. "I'd rather see it on you."Tamara's body stiffened. She could guess what was inside that bag. However, she was curious about what Sebastian dreamt about. So, she took the bag and opened it.After taking out the contents, she discovered that it was actually a set of clothes. The corners of Tamara's mouth twitched. Rather than calling them clothes, it was more like a fishing net! There were various holes in the clothes ...Tamara's face flushed red. She grabbed the clothes and threw them back at Sebastian. "Didn't I tell you to get rid of all these things?"Sebastian observed her angry expression and cocked a brow. "You only mentioned getting rid of those uniforms. You didn't say anything about getting rid of this."Tamara's face grew even redder. She spun around and stormed out of the walk-in closet. In fact, she left the manor altogether. The gentle breeze caress
Kimberly froze, not expecting Joseph to say that. She grabbed her skirt. She felt both humiliated and embarrassed. Yet, despite how awkward it was, she refused to leave."Is ... is this really how you feel?" Kimberly's voice trembled. She looked up at Joseph with glistening eyes.Joseph sighed. "Miss Lore, we are all adults here. I don't want to make things uglier than it has to be."He couldn't be any clearer with his feelings.He simply didn't like her.Kimberly bit her lip. She should have known earlier. He had been avoiding her all this time. Wasn't that an explanation in itself?However, there was something she couldn't wrap her head around. Why wasn't she enough? Why didn't he like her?"I want to know ..." Kimberly trailed off. She took a deep breath and forced a sweet smile. "I understand."She didn't want to know.She knew she wouldn't like the answer.She was the daughter of the Lore family, noble and distinguished. Why should she humiliate herself in front of him?
"He's right, Mr. Moore. It's a pleasure to have you here with us tonight!""Please have a seat, Mr. Moore."Everyone in the private lounge stood up and smiled obsequiously at Joseph—all except for one person.Kimberly widened her eyes at Joseph in disbelief. She was not expecting to run into him here.Joseph also noticed her. His brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't comment on it. Where she went had nothing to do with him.Once seated, the individuals in attendance initiated a conversation, discussing a piece of land that had captured the interest of many, and the Moore Corporation was one of them.It seemed that the Lore Corporation had also set its sight on the land, or they wouldn't have sent Kimberly.However, they were in a seedy place. Why did the Lore family send a delicate girl like Kimberly here?Joseph had a bad feeling about this."Mr. Moore, there is a considerable interest in this land from multiple parties. How about we all come together and develop it? We mi
The people in the lounge all turned to Joseph in shock.Joseph stood up and grabbed Kimberly's wrist, pulling her out of the lounge.Holden's angry roars could be heard from behind them, but they faded into silence soon....Outside the hotel.The night breeze felt warm today. Joseph released Kimberly and looked at her strangely. "How desperate is the Lore family that they would send a lady like you to meet up with clients?"Kimberly was still pale, but her eyes were glossy as she stared up at Joseph. "Why did you help me?"Joseph furrowed his brows. "Answer my question!"Kimberly shrank back slightly. "I just wanted to test myself. After all, I'm as clueless as a baby right now."Joseph sneered, "Going out with clients isn't the way to go. You should start from the bottom of the Lore Corporation's hierarchy instead.""But that would take too long … " Kimberly whispered."What did you say?" Joseph couldn't hear her clearly and leaned closer.Their distance suddenly closed.
The marriage between Helena and Anthony had been put on hold for now. Sebastian and Tamara have started preparing to return to Londsville with the Moore family.The three children grew excited after learning that they would be visiting their great-grandmother in Londsville. They hadn't seen her in a long time."Mommy, why does Great-Grandma always live in Londsville?" asked Caleb, who was standing beside Tamara.Melanie also gave Tamara a look of curiosity.Only Thomas sat alone on the couch, engrossed in his phone. "Come on! Push forward! Heal! Heal me! He's about to lose!"Tamara glanced at Thomas and then turned to the other two. "Because your grandmother used to live in Londsville. Grandma is Great-Grandma's daughter, and Great-Grandma misses her, so she now lives in Londsville."Caleb hummed and nodded in understanding.Melanie also nodded and said, "I miss Grandma too."Tamara was taken aback. She pinched Melanie's face. "But you have never met Grandma. Why do you miss he
Only then did Jordan release him. As he looked at Sebastian and Tamara, a gentle smile graced his otherwise cold face. "Isn't it great that Tammy is happy?"Joseph shrugged and replied, "It is, but they've been smothering us with PDA all the time while they were staying over."Jordan stared blankly at Joseph. "Then you should find someone yourself."Joseph paused momentarily before retorting, "I would rather watch whatever they're doing."Jordan sighed. He spun on his heels and returned to his seat.After a three-hour flight, the plane landed safely. They got into the car and headed to the Simmons residence in Londsville. They had informed Old Mrs. Moore of their visit. By the time they arrived, various fruits and snacks had already been prepared for them."Great-Grandma!" The three children greeted in unison when they saw Old Mrs. Moore."Thomas, Caleb, Melly, you've all grown taller." Old Mrs. Moore smiled dotingly at them and patted their heads."Yes, we've all grown ta
Ms. Thompson's eyes watered. She never knew Sebastian cared so deeply about her.Tamara smiled. "It's settled then. Ms. Thompson, we'll return to Clacton in a few days, and you'll come with us." "Okay." Ms. Thompson nodded in agreement. They lounged at Skarrowlilt Grove for a while before deciding to head back. Their purpose was solely to persuade Ms. Thompson to come with them, and now that they had achieved their goal, they had no reason to prolong their stay. The flowers in the garden were blooming beautifully. Each competed to flaunt their beauty. Tamara went to the swing under the grapevine and sat down. "In the past, Mother would sit here and stare up at the sky. I always wondered what she was thinking." Tamara sat on the swing and sighed at the sky, trying to figure out Alex's state of mind. However, she couldn't figure it out. Tamara was oblivious to her mother's situation back then. She only knew her father treated her mother kindly but had always been cold toward
