Benjamin’s lips curled into a smile as he noticed how obedient Margot had become. “You look exactly the same as you did when you were younger. I really like this expression on you.”Margot did not know what to reply.The man was so strange.Benjamin had never once brought up anything related to their past when they first ran into each other as adults. Margot assumed the man had simply forgotten.It appeared that that was not the case.However, she still found it peculiar that the man had never once mentioned their past in passing.“Benjamin, do you have a split personality or something? Whatever it is, stop. I need to know why you restricted my travels.” The way Benjamin was acting bothered Margot. She felt strange about it.Benjamin frowned. “If I didn’t do that, you would have left me ages ago.”Margot was silent for a moment before she said, “You haven’t fallen for me for real, have you?”Benjamin nodded. “I have. I really like you, and I like sleeping with you too.”For a
The nurse looked at Margot. “Miss, is your head alright?”Margot replied, “Nothing’s wrong. Thank you.”The nurse was silent.Margot looked to be clear of injuries. However, after she had asked the question…The nurse turned on her heel and walked away.Margot glared at James with disdain. What possessed her to ask James such a dumb question, anyway?The man was an heir to a wealthy family, not a doctor.Margot decided to ask a doctor the question later on.James looked at her funnily and asked, “Have you been reading too many novels?”Margot was annoyed. “Whatever, let’s stop talking about that. It’s not like you would get it, anyway.”James did not follow that up with anything.A strange silence enveloped the ward all of a sudden.At this moment, a melodious ringtone rang out.Margot looked down at her phone and saw that Benjamin was calling her.Her lips twitched at that sight. It turned out that the man had been true to his word.“Something has come up. I’m going to
Austin examined Tamara after she returned home to Skarrowlilt Grove. Only after making sure she was okay did everyone start to relax.Once everyone left the bedroom, Sebastian sat next to her with a frown. “Didn’t I tell you to wait for me at home?”Tamara felt herself grow guilty.Could she be open and honest and tell him she’d gone out to spite him?She hadn’t anticipated it to end up in such a mess.Upon noticing how Tamara kept averting his gaze, Sebastian instantly understood why she had done what she did.“You’re currently pregnant, so I’m not going to yell at you. But once you give birth to our baby, I’ll give you hell for this.”Sebastian took her hand in his and gave her a threatening look.Tamara did not respond.She felt warmed by the man’s actions.“I’m going to wash up,” she signed.Tamara got up and removed Sebastian’s hand from hers to head toward the washroom.Suddenly, she froze. Her gut told her that she had forgotten something important.That’s right. Sh
Sebastian was lying.Why was he hiding the content of his conversation with Old Mr. Lynch?Could they be discussing what the old man had previously discussed with her? Was it about the future nanny?If that were the case, and Sebastian had decided to hide their discussion from her, didn’t that mean that he had agreed to Old Mr. Lynch’s suggestion?Tamara began to doubt.She backed out of Sebastian’s embrace right away.The man’s trimmed eyebrows furrowed at the movement. “Tamara, what’s wrong?”Tamara signed, “I’m feeling a bit tired now. I’m going to sleep.”She looked out the window at the pitch-black sky after putting her hands down, her back to Sebastian. She was unable to suppress the numerous suspicions that were growing.Sebastian could tell that Tamara was acting oddly and that it had only started after she asked him about his whereabouts.His eyes darkened all of a sudden. He then leaned over her. “You heard me on the phone, didn’t you?”Tamara merely blinked at him
Tamara received a text from James after seeing Sebastian off at the door the next day.James: “Are you feeling better?”Tamara: “I’m fine. How about you? You seemed to be in a worse shape than I was.”James: “I was in the hospital for a while. I’m alright now. Also, I’ve polished up the script. Why don’t you come over to film if you’re available today?”Tamara: “Alright.”After getting her things ready, she got Ms. Thompson to contact the driver. When the housekeeper realized that Tamara was going to leave the house again, she anxiously reminded, “Young Mrs. Lynch, you have to bring some bodyguards with you this time. It wouldn’t do for you to encounter trouble again.”Tamara smiled at her. “Don’t worry, Ms. Thompson. I always have people around me to make sure I’m safe.”The housekeeper nodded. “Alright then. If you need anything, you can always send me a text.”Tamara nodded and walked out the door with a bag in hand.After she left, Ms. Thompson hurried to the landline and
Split personality disorder?Margot was stunned. “That can’t be right, can it? How did I end up being involved in such a one-in-a-million case?”Tamara signed, “Judging by your expression, you seem oddly excited.”Margot shot her a huge smile. “Of course I’m excited! If I were to date him, that would mean I’d be dating two people simultaneously. It would feel so magical.”Tamara did not know how to respond.She turned toward James and signed, “Do you know any psychologists? I don’t think Benjamin’s the one with the issue here. She should be the one who gets help.”James remained silent for a moment. “I do know of one.”Margot interjected, “Hey, stop it, guys.”Tamara smiled. “Now that you have your suspicions, how will you go about it?”Margot replied, “Well, what else can I do? I’ll probably look into it to get to the bottom of the matter. I’m curious as to why he has this disorder in the first place. Even though dating two different people simultaneously sounds exciting, it’s
A loud crash sounded.At this moment, a car rushed toward them from in front and stopped in the middle of the road. The driver applied the brakes but still collided with the car in front of him.However, it had merely been a light bump. As a result, there was only minor damage.Tamara went pale. Right after the car stopped, she scrambled to get out of the car.The driver had not expected another car to come rushing out like that. He looked panicked. He hurriedly called someone on the phone. “Sir, the mission has failed. Someone is barricading the road.”“Alright, understood.”After the call ended, the driver got out of the car.At this moment, he saw a stern man getting out of the car in front of him. The man had a tall frame and was heading toward Tamara.Tamara was running backward with her hand on her belly. Suddenly, she felt a hand grab her phone. She was pale with fear.“Miss Simmons, it’s me.”A familiar, reassuring voice sounded.It was Anthony!Tamara spun around a
Jocelyn pursed her lips. “No, she’s not.”Anthony ignored her and continued to make food.Jocelyn watched the man skillfully navigate his way around the kitchen. “I can’t believe you know how to cook. I thought you spent every waking moment protecting her?”She received no reply.“Hello? Why are you ignoring me? Where did you get the audacity to do that? You do know that I’m part of the Simmons household, too, right? Do you think I’m worth less or something?”Anthony remained silent.Jocelyn was going to go mad from the man’s silent treatment. She had never been treated this way before.She scoffed, “Fine! You can follow her all you want! I hope seeing her lead a full and content life with kids will enrage you to death!”After saying that, Jocelyn spun on her heel and left.Anthony did not stop moving around the kitchen. He was focused on making dinner.…Tamara lay on her bed, deep in thought. There was eventually a knock on her door. She got up to answer it.“Miss Simmons
