Janine’s expression darkened immediately. “Jocelyn, you sure have a way with words, don’t you?”Jocelyn glared at her coldly, then turned away to head back inside the villa.“Jocelyn, if you like that bodyguard, I can help you!” Janine suddenly yelled out.Jocelyn sneered and said, “Aren’t we rivals? What makes you think I’ll believe anything you say?”Janine raised her chin. “Well, I thought you had a crush on Jordan. That’s why I labeled you as my rival, alright? Now that I know that you fancy that bodyguard, I suppose there’s no need for any bad blood between us. I can help you get together with him.”Jocelyn had always assumed that Janine was off her rocker. She would constantly stir up trouble for her for no apparent reason. It was after this admission that Jocelyn realized that Janine had a crush on Jordan.“How are you going to do that?” Jocelyn stared at Janine.Janine walked up to her and said, “You’d better think about my offer properly. I have an idea that might work.
“You little brat!”Old Mr. Lynch boiled with rage when he got hung up on. He couldn’t get past Sebastian’s final words. It was clear that his grandson was deliberately opposing him.He did not expect Tamara to hold such an important place in Sebastian’s heart.Tamara was around four months pregnant at this moment. She was going to give birth in five months or less. If their relationship continued to develop like this, it would be troublesome to kick that woman out of their family when the time came.Old Mr. Lynch’s wrinkled face became a little pensive.At this moment, Yareli walked in with a health tonic in hand. “Dad, what are you thinking about?”In reality, Yareli had overheard the old man’s conversation with Sebastian through the door.An idea sprang into her mind immediately. If Old Mr. Lynch were on her side, it would be easy to get rid of Tamara.As such, she diligently walked in with a health tonic.When Old Mr. Lynch took one look at her, he could tell what she was t
Tamara’s heart pounded violently in her chest. Her clear eyes twinkled as she reached out to wrap her hands around Sebastian’s neck.She returned Sebastian’s fiery passion with unpracticed kisses, causing him to pin her onto the bed.Light from the setting sun shone into the room, casting the shadows of their entangled bodies onto the walls. Their position was extremely intimate.A long while later, darkness fell. Tamara felt exhausted.She lay on Sebastian’s chest, feeling the man’s strong heartbeat. She felt extremely content at that moment.His promises made her feel safe.Sebastian could feel her soften up to him. He let out a low chuckle and asked, “Do you want to get something to eat?”Tamara was stunned. “Didn’t I already eat before this?”“Didn’t I tire you out enough?” Sebastian asked, smiling at her.Tamara blushed and signed, “If you’re hungry, you can go get something to eat. I’m not hungry.”The man was trying to bait her with suggestive phrases!Sebastian said,
Tamara did not know how to respond.Why did this man always say the most inappropriate things?“Mr. Lynch, that is not true at all. I need you to work hard to earn as much money as possible. Only then will I be able to live the high life.”Tamara got out of his embrace and lay down on the side by herself.Sebastian cocked an eyebrow at her. “You’ve started worrying about your status as a rich lady now, have you?”Tamara ignored him.However, Sebastian merely pulled her back into his embrace. “Your worries are misplaced. You can leave them for the distant future.”Tamara felt her lips twitch. She let out a smile and shut her eyes, falling asleep soon enough.…Tamara took the morning off the next day to relax. She went to James’ workshop later that afternoon.They weren’t done with the shoot from the day before. As such, they had to resume it.However, Margot wasn’t able to make it this time. As such, James had to stick by Tamara’s side the entire time. It was necessary as Ta
James’ expression darkened. “Stop spouting nonsense. She’s just a friend.”“Who the hell are you trying to fool? How can a male and female be just friends?” It was clear that Jessica did not believe James.Tamara was a little embarrassed. She wasn’t sure if she should order anything from the menu.At this moment, Jessica suddenly glared at her and said, “Hey, listen up. James is due to get married soon! I’m his fiancée. You’d better get as far away from him as possible, or else I’ll make your life a living hell!”Tamara looked at her silently.“Jessica Custry, if you’re here to interfere with my work, I’d like to ask you to please leave,” James said, sounding irritated.Jessica looked aggrieved. “You’re yelling at me because of this woman? That means you fancy her!”Tamara could only blink. Why did she have a bad feeling about this?Not a moment later, Jessica turned to glare at her furiously, then said, “You must’ve seduced him! I’m going to kill you.”Tamara typed on her pho
Tamara froze.With wide eyes, she watched Sebastian walk away with the woman. She snapped back to reality a moment later and trailed behind them. She stood at the entrance of the children’s clothing store and watched them walk further away from her. Tamara blinked her eyes.Didn’t Sebastian tell her that he was going to be out of town for work?What was he doing here?Who was that woman next to him?Her mind was racing with questions. Tamara sent a text to him on her phone.Tamara: “Have you reached Andoville?”After sending that text, she looked up to observe Sebastian from ahead. She watched the man take out his phone and type.Not a moment later, her phone buzzed. She looked down at it.Sebastian: “Yes.”Tamara paled instantly.It was obvious that the man wasn’t in Andoville. Why was he lying to her?“Miss, do you still want to purchase these clothes?” the shopkeeper noticed how pale Tamara had gotten and asked in a cautious tone.Tamara shook her head, then handed th
Tamara tossed and turned in bed late at night. She checked her phone now and then, but there were no new notifications.That only added to her frustrations. After a while, she realized she couldn’t sleep even if she remained in bed, so she stood up to go downstairs and get some water.It was dark downstairs. She noticed some light shining through from outside after walking around the area.Tamara was taken aback. When she looked outside, she noticed that the porch was brightly lit and a car was parked at the entrance. A tall figure could be seen leaning against the car, holding a lit cigarette between his fingers.Tamara blinked at the sight. Was that… Sebastian?He came back?Why didn’t he just come right in?Tamara walked up to the front door with a glass in her hand, her eyes fixed on him quietly.Sebastian was stunned for a moment. Then, he put out his cigarette and waited a few moments before walking up to her. “You saw me, didn’t you?”Tamara’s well-trimmed brows quivere
Joanne turned her beautiful face toward Tamara.Tamara had only caught glimpses of the woman’s back the day before. This was the first time she had looked the woman in the eyes.Joanne was gorgeous. Her beauty was slightly intimidating. Just the sight of her would brighten anyone’s day. Anyone who took one look at her would find it difficult to look away.Tamara’s clear, crystal eyes glimmered slightly. She walked over and shot both Joanne and Yareli a small smile. Yareli yammered on, “Miss Custry, she’s a mute. Please don’t take it to heart if she makes any mistakes.”Joanne smiled. “Of course. I’m naturally very tolerant of the disabled.”Tamara’s shaped brows furrowed at that, her eyes filled with coldness.Did Yareli call her over just to embarrass her?And in front of Joanne?It was already bad enough that Eugenia was around. Was Joanne going to be added to the mix?What on earth was Yareli planning?Joanne looked at Tamara with pity and sympathy in her eyes. “Young Mr
