However, Sebastian had already left. Even if Tamara had her questions, she could only keep them to herself.Tamara prepared herself. Soon, the anticipated day came.“Young Mrs. Lynch,” Austin called out to Tamara once she exited the gate.Tamara smiled at him and typed, “Where is your father, Dr. Beaver?”Austin opened the back seat door for Tamara. “Here you go, Young Mrs. Lynch. My father is home right now.”Tamara nodded and got in the car.After the car started, Tamara glanced back and didn’t say anything.The people were simply carrying out Sebastian’s order to protect her. She also had to watch out for herself. She didn’t mind being followed as long as no harm came to her babies.Throughout the car ride, Austin remained silent and did not strike up a conversation with Tamara. The car came to a stop at an apartment after a 20-minute drive.“This way, please, Young Mrs. Lynch,” said Austin after he locked his car.Tamara nodded and followed Austin upstairs.The neighborh
Tamara was taken aback and turned to Austin. Austin was still indifferent, as always. “Just do as my father says.”Tamara nodded and left with Austin.After they went downstairs, Tamara took out a beautiful box from her bag and gave it to Austin.Austin was caught off guard. “You don’t need to do that Young Mrs. Lynch. My father won’t accept it.Tamara insisted. She typed, “It’s nothing special. Just something to help with getting better sleep.”Austin relented. He took the box upstairs.Tamara placed her hand on her bulging stomach.Her eyes watered. Finally, she could speak.She could talk with her three children and be a normal mother.Tamara used to dream about her life after she gave birth. She couldn’t talk and communicate with her children. She was afraid they wouldn’t know how to speak as well. Tamara was anxious and kept blaming herself for this. She thought about many solutions, but nothing seemed to work.Her dreams always ended with her child being taken away from
Sebastian grabbed Tamara’s hand and pulled her into his embrace. He kissed her fiercely.Tamara was smiling widely. She grabbed his shirt and shyly returned the kiss.“Explain yourself. What were you doing with Austin?” Sebastian asked in a husky voice after he let Tamara go.Tamara fit snugly into his embrace and signed, “Dr. Beaver brought me to see his father.”Sebastian turned cold. “Tamara Simmons.”Sebastian sucked in a deep breath to calm himself.Tamara started signing, “He was only taking me to see his father for a checkup. Didn’t his father look after Grandpa? So, he must be a better doctor. That’s why I went.”Tamara didn’t know why she decided to keep the truth from Sebastian.But that was her decision.Perhaps she can surprise him with this.Tamara was pleased with her decision.Sebastian saw Tamara’s smile and couldn’t help but pinch her cheeks. “You must report to me if you ever hang out with strangers again.”Tamara looked up at him. “Are you still worried e
Jocelyn replied, “Where else could I be but at school?”Tamara replied, “Wait for me.”…Tamara went to Jocelyn’s school. Jocelyn had no trouble transferring in because she had previously attended school in another country. Tamara stood in the shade of a tree at the Londsville University school gate. She saw Jocelyn walking out with an indifferent look.“Oh my God. You’re sending me money in person?” mocked Jocelyn.Although Jocelyn had to rely on Tamara, she could never forgive Tamara for what she did to her family.Tamara pointed to a restaurant not far from them. “Come and have some food with me.”Jocelyn rolled her eyes. “You came here to treat me to some food?”Tamara did not react. She merely walked toward the restaurant.Jocelyn was annoyed. But thinking about her allowance, she had no choice but to follow along.Once inside the restaurant, Tamara ordered some noodles. She turned to Jocelyn, but she declined. “I’m not hungry.”Tamara nodded and took a seat. She star
“Tell me the truth. What happened?” Tamara sat beside Margot and asked seriously.Margot wanted to have some more fun. When she realized Tamara was serious, she stuck her tongue out. “I... I met Benjamin’s parents yesterday.”Tamara widened her eyes in surprise. “You went to meet Benjamin’s parents? When did the two of you get so close?”“It’s not what you think! I always had business ties with the Inkling family. Benjamin’s mother invited me over for a meal. That’s why I went. It was only then that I realized Benjamin’s mother had introduced a girl to Benjamin.” Margot looked slightly down when she recalled Benjamin’s mother’s admiration for the girl. It was as if the girl was her daughter-in-law.Margot was upset, but she didn’t want to admit it.Tamara pinched Margot’s cheeks. “What were you thinking? Didn’t you say a relationship would only come between you and your career? Look at you! Benjamin has taken over your every thought.”Margot blinked up at Tamara but did not deny
“How are things going with the script? I’m so excited to be part of a play. I might even get signed by a famous director for my looks. Then, I’ll be able to be a star,” Margot giggled as she held Tamara’s hand.James rolled his eyes.Margot only got the first part right.Tamara hurriedly signed, “I don’t know her.”James burst out laughing. He motioned for the two to sit and brought them some water. “I’m still working on some parts of the script. I’ll probably need another two days before we can start shooting.”“Two days? That’s too long,” frowned Margot. “I’ll be leaving the country tomorrow.”James was taken aback. “Are you going on a business trip?”“Nope. I’m moving away,” said Margot faintly.James quirked an eyebrow. “That was sudden.”Margot picked up the script and flipped through it. “I’ve planned for this for quite some time now. It will be fun to live in another country for one or two years.”James turned to Tamara. It wasn’t until Tamara nodded that he believed t
Tamara was speechless.Sebastian’s guess was way off.Tamara felt awkward. Sebastian saw Margot and James.Sebastian’s face fell immediately. A cold glint shone in his eyes. “Haha… Are the three of you here for me?”All three of them fell silent.Did Sebastian really have to ask that?Why did he have to make things awkward for everyone?“Are you here on business? We’ll go home together when you’re finished,” Tamara hurriedly signed.Sebastian muttered coldly, “I’m done.”He kept looking at his watch to see what time it was. It was getting close to dinnertime. Sebastian wanted to wrap things up quickly because he thought Tamara would get bored eating alone. He hadn’t expected to see the three of them here.They must be here for a gathering.Sebastian looked annoyed. His cold eyes flicked to Margot and James.Margot felt a shiver run down her spine.Where did the sudden chill come from?Tamara immediately signed, “Then please accompany me for dinner.”Tamara looked so piti
Tamara sat in the passenger seat as Sebastian drove. She looked out the window at the scenery.The night was young, and the lights were bright.Tamara lowered her gaze. She thought of the conversation between James and Margot. “Does Sebastian detest James?”That seemed to be the case.From the beginning, Sebastian never liked Tamara’s interaction with James.Why?Was it because Sebastian was possessive?But Tamara thought Sebastian was being ridiculous.They were just business partners. Not to mention, Tamara believed boys and girls could be just friends.Sebastian seemed to think otherwise.Tamara pondered about this on their way home.Back at Skarrowlilt Grove, Tamara ignored Sebastian and went straight for the bathroom. After her shower, she saw Sebastian sitting on the bed while he stared at her.“What are you thinking about?” asked Sebastian in a low voice.Tamara paused before she shook her head.Sebastian got up and took the towel from Tamara. He began drying her h
