"You can go on without me. I'll wait here for them." Tamara hesitated to meet Sebastian's eyes.Sebastian's brows furrowed. He noticed how she was shifting around and noted that she must be tired from all the walking. "Let's take a break."Tamara let out a small sigh of relief and entered the pavilion. She sat on a chair and took out her phone to text Margot.Tamara wrote, "When are you coming over?"Margot replied, "We're on our way."Tamara wrote back, "Alright."She put away her phone and looked out at the scenery beyond. The streetlights had illuminated the night, creating a beautiful scene.Sebastian didn't continue ahead. Instead, he sat down across from her. There was a large gap between them, and Tamara was satisfied with their distance.Tamara remembered Margot enjoyed taking scenic pictures, so she imitated her. She aimed her phone at a nearby fountain and tried to take a picture.Yet, for some reason, she couldn't capture the beauty of it. Her shots all came out bad
Tamara nodded in agreement.On the opposite side, Benjamin sat beside Sebastian. He gave Sebastian a weird smile. "Any progress?"Sebastian gave him a blank look. "Is that all you can think about?"Benjamin chuckled. "Of course not. I've already started fantasizing about how beautiful my daughter will be."Sebastian sighed.Benjamin draped his arm over Sebastian's shoulder and said, "Lance is starting his counterattack. I'm counting on you."Sebastian's brows furrowed. "Are you finally done with the little act?"Benjamin glanced at Margot, who was talking to Tamara, and his eyes filled with affection. "I can keep up with the act before she came into my life. But now that I have her, I don't ever want her to leave."Sebastian commented, "You're quite bold."Benjamin patted his shoulder. "That's because you haven't experienced it yourself. Once you do, I'm sure you'll be bolder than me."Sebastian didn't respond and simply lowered his gaze."Shall we go and watch the perform
"Can the winners please come up on stage?" the host urged.Sebastian frowned and was about to refuse when Tamara suddenly stood up.Sebastian's expression shifted, and he swiftly followed her onto the stage.Benjamin clicked his tongue. "That's rare. Seb hates being in the center of attention. Yet, he's participating? I thought he would put on a cold face instead."Margot tilted her head. "Isn't he wearing a cold face right now?"Benjamin chuckled. "No, this is different. You can't even begin to imagine how terrifying he will become when he gets mad."Margot nodded and watched them walk up on stage. "Have you noticed how good they look together?"Benjamin turned to her. "Are you trying to set her up with Seb?"Margot looked back at him. "Do you think it's a bad idea?"Benjamin chuckled. "Not at all. But your friend seems scared of him."Margot smiled meaningfully at them. She took out her phone to snap photos. She wanted to capture this precious moment. If they really ended u
Tamara and Sebastian continued to give the host a blank look.It was Margot's turn to laugh. "Holy shit! Is the electric stove worth that much?"Benjamin couldn't help but laugh along. "This is the first time I've seen Seb like this. Look at how angry he is! But he can't direct his anger anywhere!"Margot began recording with her phone. "I have to capture this moment!"She was sure the two would still be embarrassed by this even years later.Meanwhile, back on stage.Tamara was very embarrassed. She looked at the host and asked, "Can I skip this task?"The host smiled and shook his head. "I'm afraid not. To claim the prize, you must complete the task. You and this gentleman are a couple, right? It's just ten seconds of eye contact. It might even enhance your relationship."Tamara sighed to herself. They weren't a couple. But explaining now would probably make it even more awkward.Just then, a hand grabbed her by the shoulder and forced her to turn around.Tamara was startled
Tamara gave Margot a helpless look.Sebastian's cold gaze fell on Margot, and she immediately felt a chill running down her spine. She promptly stopped laughing and sat up straight."I'm bored. Let's find a spot for the meteor shower," Margot said to Benjamin.Benjamin smiled. "You backed down quickly."Margot pinched his waist playfully. But she was met with solid muscles. There was nothing she could hold on to.Benjamin held her hand. "Let's go."Margot looked at Tamara. "Come on, let's go watch the meteor shower."Tamara nodded and stood up to follow them.She couldn't wait to leave this place.However, Sebastian suddenly called out to her. "Tamara.""Yes?" Tamara turned to look at him.Sebastian handed the electric stove to her. "Don't you want this?"The corners of Tamara's mouth twitched. "You can have it. I don't need it."With that, she ran away.Sebastian looked at the electric stove in his hand and then at her retreating figure. His heart unexpectedly skipped a
Margot turned to Tamara. "Isn't that right?"Tamara giggled. "You're right."Margot raised her chin, looking quite pleased with herself."It's here." Just then, Sebastian, who was standing behind them, suddenly spoke up.Everyone immediately looked up and saw stars shooting across the sky.Margot immediately clasped her hands together. "Make a wish! Make a wish!"She closed her eyes. She hoped for a peaceful life, for Benjamin to be safe, and for them to be together forever.At the same time, Tamara, who was gazing at the meteor shower, felt a burst of white light rushing toward her. She instinctively reached out to block it. But in the blink of an eye, the white light disappeared."Did you see something?" Just then, Sebastian's voice sounded beside her.Tamara looked at him hesitantly, "I saw a streak of white light."Sebastian pursed his lips.He had also seen a ball of white light rushing toward them before disappearing. He had also seen Tamara's instinctive reaction to d
Margot furrowed her brows. "You must escort Tamara home safely."Benjamin hesitated. Margot was the most important person to him, and Tamara was still a stranger.Tamara quickly interjected, "Stop it. The public transport is still operating at this hour. I'll just hop on a bus and go home. The bus should be filled with people at this hour, so I won't be in any danger. Besides, I have a bodyguard secretly protecting me."Margot was stunned, and she suddenly remembered about Anthony.She pursed her lips, realizing that it wasn't the right time to discuss this. She nodded. "Alright, your bodyguard can take care of you."Tamara smiled and nodded. "You go attend to your business. Let me know once everything is resolved over there. Call me if you need my help.""Alright." Margot nodded.The group continued walking toward the exit. Half an hour later, they arrived at the parking lot.Benjamin suddenly said to Sebastian, "Seb, you have a car, right? Why don't you take Ms. Tamara home?"
Soon, they arrived at the Simmons' residence.Tamara unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to Sebastian. "Thank you."Sebastian glanced at her and hummed coldly.Tamara didn't feel awkward by his response. She had come to understand that he was a cold and aloof person. It was good enough that he wasn't ignoring her.She opened the car door and got out. She swiftly entered the manor.Sebastian didn't leave immediately but watched her silhouette disappear behind the gate. Only then did he retract his gaze.Since seeing that ball of white light, strange emotions started bubbling up within him.It was bizarre.Sebastian placed his hand on his chest and drove away.Inside the manor's living room. Alex and Jacob were sitting on the couch. Both of them had a grim look on their faces. When they saw Tamara walk in, Alex immediately stood up and carefully examined her. Only after confirming that she was unharmed did she finally relax."Tammy, please inform us when you're going out in t
