A faint smile appeared on Jocelyn's youthful face before she turned to leave. Tamara discussed Jocelyn's plan to study abroad with Alex, who had no objections. After all, Jocelyn was still a part of the Simmons family, and she would not be mistreated.The room fell into silence. Tamara looked at Alex and couldn't help but ask, "Mom, do we need to inform Dad about this?"Alex asked, "Do you want to talk to him?"Tamara mumbled, "No, I'm just asking."Jocelyn was still Jacob's granddaughter, and her decision to go abroad would likely require his approval.Alex smiled softly. "If you want to tell him, go ahead. It's okay."Tamara shrugged. Of course, it was okay. Jacob's mind was filled with thoughts of Alex. Whatever she said was okay for him. Why would he reject her request?Tamara stood up. "I'll go and talk to Dad about it.""Sure, go ahead." Alex nodded, lowering her gaze to continue trimming the flowers.It was the evening. Tamara knocked on the door of the study. Jacob h
Coral clenched her fists tightly. That bitch! How dare Tamara warn her? Who did Tamara think she was? She used to be mute and was always careful and submissive. However, Tamara transformed into a different person after she gained her voice. Coral could hardly recognize her anymore. Who had given her the confidence to be so arrogant?Coral was furious and wanted nothing more than to tear Tamara apart. If it weren't for Tamara, she would still be the highly esteemed Mrs. Moore!Coral's face twisted in anger. She would not let Tamara off that easily!When Coral returned to her room, she picked up her phone and made a call. "Hey, I need you to do something for me ..."Before she could finish her sentence, a hand suddenly reached over and snatched her phone, hanging up the call.Coral turned in surprise and saw Jocelyn standing by her side. Her face had an air of maturity that went beyond her age."Mom, are you planning to fuck around?" Jocelyn asked.Coral's expression turned u
Tamara suddenly wanted to turn back. But when she thought about her decision, she clenched her teeth and drove to Skarrowlilt Grove. The car traveled down a road that felt incredibly familiar to her, as if she had walked this path countless times before. Even the trees on both sides of the road were familiar to her. This was newly built. Yet, in her dreams, this place had held countless memories throughout the years.Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a black gate.Tamara sat in the car and observed the courtyard. It was as if something had clicked in her brain, and the memories she had forgotten began to resurface, becoming more vivid by the second. This villa's courtyard seemed to be a key to her memory. Seeing the familiar scenes brought back the pain no matter how much she resisted.Tamara's brows furrowed, and she pushed open the car door after parking. She stood before the large gate, staring at the scenery inside the courtyard. Looking at the code panel,
However, Sebastian didn't look at her. He held her hand and led her to a side of the living room, pushing open the glass door that led to the garden. The garden featured a stone pathway and expansive lawns near the manor. A little further on, they arrived at a garden with an arched entrance adorned with roses. Tamara's eyes suddenly welled up with emotion. She quickly lowered her gaze and asked, "Where are you taking me?" She had a hunch even as she asked.Sebastian shrugged. "To the swing." Tamara hurriedly blinked, suppressing the sour feelings that threatened to rise.She stood still and looked at his back. "I don't want to go to the swing right now."Sebastian turned to look at her. His handsome face showed a gentle expression as he gazed at her. He nodded. "Alright, then, what would you like to do? Would you like to see the flowers in the greenhouse? I've grown many of the ones you like, and they're in full bloom."Tamara restrained herself. "Let's go back inside first
"Alright." Sebastian readily agreed and closed the door. "Are you hungry?"Tamara shook her head.Sebastian sighed. "Then come with me to the study.""Okay." Tamara nodded and followed him into the study.Sebastian didn't immediately talk to her about the dream. Instead, he took out his phone and made a call. He spoke into the receiver, "Bring up two yogurts."Tamara fell silent.In no time, Ms. Thompson brought up two yogurts and placed them on the table with a smile. Even after the door to the study closed, Tamara didn't look at the yogurt. She calmly looked at Sebastian and asked, "Have you thought about the dream during this period?"Sebastian nodded. "I have, but it didn't help."Tamara nodded. Indeed, if they could solve this just by pondering over it, they wouldn't be in this conflict now. She hesitated for a moment. "If it's really as you've said, then let's try it tonight."Sebastian suddenly turned to her with a weird glint in his eyes. His voice was hoarse as he a
A gentle breeze rustled the white curtains, causing them to sway gently. Papers on the dark wooden desk scattered to the floor as two figures entangled, sharing a passionate kiss. After that … Tamara quickly closed her eyes, refusing to let her mind wander in that direction. Right now, she wanted nothing more than to leave this place. Not for any other reason but because this manor brought forth many unsavory scenes.Sebastian looked at her in amusement. Seeing her reaction, he seemed to recall something, and his eyes darkened suddenly.Tamara stood up abruptly. "I can agree with you, but we must change the location. I don't want to be here."Sebastian stared at her. "Alright."She was also willing to make the effort to avoid accidentally triggering any memories. A hint of bitterness washed over him, but Sebastian quickly suppressed those emotions.Tamara headed toward the door.Sebastian stood up and followed her. He asked calmly, "So, are we now officially a couple?"He
Tamara felt speechless.Why did she park the car here? The memory of her first meeting with Sebastian flashed in her mind. There was no foreplay before they got rough and rowdy. It left an impression on her. Even now, she could faintly sense the lingering pain when she recalled it.Just then, a deep voice suddenly sounded next to her. "Sorry."Tamara wished she could find a hole to hide in. Was it the time to be discussing this? Shouldn't they just skip this? Why did he feel the need to apologize so seriously? Did he think she wouldn't feel embarrassed?Sebastian gazed at her, and his voice was low and pleasant. "Regardless of whether that really happened or not, I apologize for my recklessness. I was drugged and had never been in a relationship, so I didn't know how to be gentle and considerate ...""Stop!" Tamara immediately held up her hand to stop him."That was a dream, and it has nothing to do with the current me." Tamara put on a calm façade.Sebastian stared at her int
In the end, Tamara couldn't help but think that she should treat it as a pleasant experience. After all, her previous experiences had shown that it was pretty enjoyable.After mentally preparing herself, she opened the bathroom door and saw Sebastian standing on the balcony, talking on the phone.Tamara adjusted her breathing and wrapped her bathrobe tighter around her. Noticing that her long hair was damp, she went to find a hairdryer.Sebastian heard the sound and turned to look at her. An urgent voice sounded from the phone. "Seb, where are you? I heard that you've been getting close to the mute girl from the Simmons family recently. I'm warning you, you'd better stay away from her. The Lynch family will never accept a mute!"Sebastian's eyes were filled with a chilling, murderous intent. "You'd better take care of yourself first. If you dare interfere in my affairs, I'll make sure you won't get off easily!"With that, he hung up the phone.Tamara was blow-drying her hair when
