Tamara was stunned. Margot suddenly went up to her and read the contents of the text.“What gives him the right to order you around like that? He asks for you, and you must be available at his whim? Who does he think he is? No, you’re not going!” Margot was still angry over what had happened with Yareli.However, after she said that, she saw that Tamara had already gotten up without question and left.Margot was rendered speechless.It turned out that love truly did make everyone foolishly reckless.…It was already late at night.Upon arriving at the hospital, Tamara saw Jerome waiting for her at Sebastian’s ward’s entrance. When he saw her, he immediately shot her a smile.“Mrs. Lynch, please come in.”Tamara nodded at him, then walked into the ward.Yareli and Joanne were nowhere in sight.Sebastian was lying on the bed. His handsome face was pale as he stared at the door. When he saw Tamara walk in, a smile curled on his thin lips.“Come over here.”Tamara walked up to
Sebastian’s expression darkened. “She didn’t tell on you. You were the one who went too far.”Yareli was incredibly displeased. However, since Tamara had left the room, what she had to say didn’t matter anymore.“Just eat up.”Yareli opened the lunchbox and placed it on the little tray table at the end of the bed. Then, she adjusted Sebastian’s bed so that he could sit up.Sebastian’s gaze never once left the door. Tamara hadn’t come back yet. He wondered where Tamara had gone.Wasn’t she going to eat with him?Yareli was upset when she realized what Sebastian was thinking. “Seb, what are you staring at? Please, just get to eating. The doctor will be over soon to check on you.”“I’ll eat later,” Sebastian said coldly.Yareli was surprised. “You shouldn’t wait any longer.”Sebastian remained silent. He did not speak, nor did he touch his food.The air in the ward suddenly chilled.At this moment, Tamara walked back inside. She was carrying a takeaway box as she walked up to S
“Mom, what are you talking about?” Sebastian glared at Yareli, displeased.Yareli’s expression was calm. When she turned to look at Joanne, her eyes lit up with joy. “I meant that it’s nice to see you youngsters chatting and bickering away like that. It’s so much better than being trapped in constant silence with a certain someone.”Tamara’s face sank. She got her phone out to type.However, Sebastian was quick to retort, “Why do I have to bicker all the time? I think it’s great to spend my days in peace with my wife.”Yareli was rendered speechless.Tamara blinked and looked at Sebastian, smiling brightly and confidently.The upsetting feelings Tamara had been feeling just a moment ago had all but dissipated.With Sebastian by her side, she did not need to get angry.Joanne glanced between Sebastian and Tamara, her eyes filled with scorn.“Fine. You guys can chat all you like. I’ll come by later in the day.” Yareli did not want to spend another moment in Tamara’s presence. Af
Tamara did not want to involve herself with Joanne anymore. As such, she left the hospital without another word.“How despicable!”Joanne had never been ignored in her entire life. She was going to die of anger.“Joanne, what’s wrong?”At this moment, Jessica walked over, holding James’ arm. When she saw how furious her sister looked, she asked in concern.“I just had an encounter with a bitch.”Joanne’s tone was filled with disdain as she spoke. Then, she asked curiously, “What are you doing here?”Then, she shifted her gaze to James, giving him a once-over. Then, she grinned widely. “Who’s this?”Jessica blushed shyly at that. “Joanne, I’ve told you about him before. This is my fiancé, James Gladwell.”Joanne looked surprised. “Hold on, isn’t he the one about to take over Gladwell Corporation?”Jessica was stunned by that. She hurriedly said, “I really like him. We’re already engaged! Who cares about that?”When Joanne saw how anxious her sister became, she said nothing mo
Sebastian’s expression grew cold. “What’s your problem?”Margot shook her head, crossing her arms in front of her chest as she stared at him. “I was just wondering what horrible sin you committed to end up this way.”Tamara was stunned.She looked at Margot and signed, “What are you doing?”Margot was surprised. “I was insulting your husband. Why? Have I upset you?”Tamara did not dare reply to that.Sebastian smiled faintly. “Hey, I’m a good person, okay? What sin could I have possibly committed?”Margot acquiesced after noticing that Tamara was growing irate with her. “Whatever, I’ll stop joking around now. Didn’t you bring him food?”Only then did Tamara smile. After setting up the tray table, she placed the lunchbox on it.At this moment, someone pushed open the ward’s door. Joanne walked in with a lunchbox in hand.“Sebastian, I made you lunch. I’m a pretty good cook. You should try some of my cooking.”Without asking, she walked over and removed the lunchbox Tamara had
Sebastian reached out a hand. Tamara had no idea what he wanted, but she approached him and placed her hand in his.Sebastian pulled her hard, and she fell into his embrace a split second later. Tamara paled and got flustered all of a sudden.“What are you doing?” she signed with shaky hands. It was clear that she had been frightened.Sebastian patted her head. “Were you jealous?”Tamara struggled to get up. Seeing that Sebastian was extra careful around Tamara’s belly, he did not force her to stop. Nonetheless, he made her sit by his bedside.“Why would I be jealous? I just thought you looked really regretful.”Sebastian’s thin lips curled into a faint smile. “I’ve just realized something now that I hear you say that. I really regret turning down her food now. I wonder how it would taste.”Tamara’s face darkened when she heard that. She took the lunchbox she had brought over with her and moved to leave.“Hey, why are you leaving?”Sebastian stared at her with smiling eyes.“
Margot tapped Tamara on the forehead. “Tammy, let me ask you something. “Now that we know how powerful the Custry family is, what will you do if Joanne forces you to leave Sebastian?”Tamara blinked. “Shouldn’t Sebastian be the one to make a decision like that?”Margot replied, “After having gone through so much, why the hell are you still so trusting of others? Do you honestly think you can trust that husband of yours wholeheartedly?”Tamara signed, “If I can’t trust him, who else can I trust?”Margot was silent for a moment. “I guess you have a point there, but I think you should make some preparations just in case. Joanne’s already in Londsville, after all. Who knows what might happen later on?”Tamara nodded. “Alright, I’ll be careful.”Margot had kindly given her a warning, so she was naturally grateful. However, would Sebastian really force her to make such a difficult decision?She believed in him.“Let’s not talk about that anymore. The Throne Games will begin next week
Margot’s eyes widened instantly. She reached out to snatch the paper away, but one stern look from Benjamin made her retract her hand. He gazed deeply into her eyes, tone filled with amusement as he asked, “What are you trying to do?”“How could you ask me that? I gave that to you ages ago! Why do you even still have it? That’s so creepy of you.” Margot did not expect the man to have evidence of her past infatuation with him.Benjamin cocked a brow. “You’re not going to deny what you’ve done before, are you?”Margot’s eyes glimmered. “Stop your bullshit. I wrote that to you when I was a kid! Only an idiot like you would think that I meant it!”When Benjamin saw how affected Margot was, his voice grew more profound. “That’s right. I did think you meant it. Now, I’m asking you to cash in on me.”Margot was rendered speechless.Where did this cashing-in nonsense even come from?"Benjamin Inkling, stop fooling around. Aren’t you still in love with that Juliet of yours? You should ho
