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
Tamara was shocked to learn how things had turned out. “Why would he do that? He forbid you from leaving Londsville?”Margot was deep in her anger and didn’t look at the screen. She suddenly said, “Call you later, Tammy. I have a score to settle with that son of a bitch.”She ended the call before Tamara could react.Tamara was still in shock. The corner of her lips twitched. What the fuck?…After what had happened, Tamara could not fall back to sleep. She got up and did her morning routine. Ms. Thompson was preparing some soup when she saw Tamara. “Come have a taste of this soup, Young Mrs. Lynch. It’s delicious.”She prepared a bowl for Tamara.Tamara took a sip, and her eyes glistened at the taste. She gave Ms. Thompson a thumbs-up.Ms. Thompson happily added more flavoring to the soup. “You are pregnant with triplets, Young Mrs. Lynch. You have to take good care of yourself. This soup is full of nutrients. You must drink it more often.”Tamara took small sips of the soup
Old Mr. Lynch had a stern look on his face. “Sebastian would never go against my decision.”Did that mean Sebastian knew and agreed to that?Tamara stumbled a few steps. Her face paled, and her mood dampened. Her heart broke.Even Sebastian wanted to take her children away from her…Tamara suddenly laughed ironically. That was right. The original arrangement called for them to get a divorce after the baby was born.Her fate was sealed. It was just her feelings that changed.Tamara walked mindlessly. Old Mr. Lynch had left already. He had only come to tell Tamara about this.Tamara’s heart sank, and she couldn’t help but place a hand over her stomach. She was even contemplating leaving now and having the children to herself.However, a voice was telling her to ask Sebastian about this. She wanted to hear his words.If he agreed with Old Mr. Lynch, then…What then?Tamara’s eyes watered. She looked up to the sky and tried to contain her emotions.“Tamara,” a gentle voice sudd
“Tamara!” James was quick to catch Tamara’s falling body.Tamara was dizzy. It took a few seconds for the dizziness to go away. “Thank you,” she signed as she looked up at James, “I suddenly felt dizzy.”James frowned. “Dizzy? I’ll take you to the hospital.”Tamara shook her head. “It’s fine. It was just low blood pressure.”She didn’t have breakfast yet when she left with Old Mr. Lynch, and after hearing what he had said, she didn’t want to go back.Before she left the house, she only had some of Ms. Thompson’s soup.She was pregnant with three babies. It was natural if her blood pressure was a little low.James was still worried. “Let’s head to the hospital. I’m a little worried.”Tamara immediately took a step back and shook her head. “I’m fine. If you are still worried, maybe you can search your car for some sweets or snacks. I’ll be fine after eating them.”“I do have some.” James left for his car and came back with some bread. “Have some of this first. We’ll go get some
