Benjamin was stunned for a moment.He pinched Margot’s chin and narrowed his cold eyes at her. “My good girl, are you still afraid of me?”Margot looked as if she had gotten struck by lightning. “What did you just call me?”He called her a good girl; how dare he!She had never been one in her life!Benjamin’s expression did not falter. “My good girl.”Margot was rendered speechless.In comparison to the other Benjamin, it appeared that this one was much more domineering.The way he spoke to her had a flirtatious undertone, and he was quick to give her a pet name.“Benjamin, I’m not afraid of you. I already knew something wasn’t right about you and guessed you might have split personality disorder. I’m a lot less scared now that you’ve confirmed my suspicions, but I do have some questions,” Margot said calmly.It was not the time for flirtatious banter.“Ask me.”Benjamin stroked her cheeks slowly, his fingers massaging her delicate skin. His breathing had grown heavy.“You
A week later.Sebastian’s gunshot wound had nearly healed completely. The ST Club’s gaming competition also had begun.After Tamara did her makeup, she put on a cap and a mask to cover her features. Then, she went to the club with Margot.The lobby was bright and spacious. Plastered all over the walls were posters promoting the gaming competition.The center of each of those posters bore Tamara’s gaming handle.The word ‘Cutie-pie’ struck a jarring note. “Tammy, I don’t know if it’s just me, but I detect a huge hint of favoritism from these little details on the posters. It stinks of it.”After examining the posters around them, Margot remarked from next to Tamara.Tamara pursed her lips. “Really? I don’t think it stinks at all.”Margot immediately rolled her eyes. She had intended to tease her friend but was promptly exposed.ST Club was a newly registered company under ST Corporation. Sebastian was the top dog.There was no doubt that Sebastian had designed the posters. Fur
Tamara froze. When she saw how shy the guy appeared, she was unsure whether to accept the drink.When the guy noticed Tamara’s hesitation, he quickly revealed a bag of drinks. “I bought drinks for everyone. Let’s drink together.”Then, he proceeded to hand each team member a drink.Seeing that, Tamara decided not to refuse. She grabbed the iced tea offered to her.When the guy saw that Tamara had accepted his drink, his smile turned shy, and his cheeks flushed even redder.The other three were busy watching the game’s statistics. It was clear that they hadn’t noticed.Tamara got up to head to the washroom. The guy with the baby face trailed behind her.“Cutie-pie, why are you wearing a mask? You didn’t use to wear one before this,” the guy inquired curiously, his gaze fixed on Tamara’s face.Tamara blinked, then took out her phone and typed, “I can’t speak. Sorry.”The guy froze. He had not expected this. “No wonder you’ve never spoken in your live streams! We thought you prob
Sebastian walked Tamara upstairs. When he noticed that Tamara was looking at him with twinkling eyes, he playfully tapped on her nose. “What?”“Sebastian Lynch, are you jealous?”Tamara signed with a small smile on her face.Sebastian cocked his brow. “Of someone like him? Please, he’s not worth my time.”Tamara pursed her lips and signed, “Were you really not jealous?”Sebastian said impassively, “It’s not that. I just think that there’s no point. I know for a fact that you won’t fall for someone like that.”Tamara’s lips curled into a smile. It seemed that he did know her pretty well.It wasn’t because the guy with the baby face wasn’t good enough. It was because he wasn’t her type. The guy wouldn’t be able to make her feel secure, so there was that.Tamara took a sip of warm water once she sat on the sofa.Sebastian grabbed her hand and began to massage it lightly. Her fair skin was soft and felt nice.Margot just happened to walk in on them. “Gross. What kind of package d
Before he could finish, a loud sound effect signaled Adira’s defeat.The guy with the baby face looked incredibly upset. The rest of her teammates did not look happy in the slightest.Tamara’s beautiful brows furrowed. She swept her gaze over the guy’s face and typed promptly. “The competition is what’s most important now. If you don’t want to play anymore, you can always concede. If you want to talk, do it after the competition.”After that, she continued playing Hans in the game without sparing the guy a second look.The tension brewing within their team was palpable. It was evident to the team next to them. However, since winning the competition was more important, no one paid them special attention.Without the guy’s interference, Tamara managed to obtain the buffs she needed to kill everything in sight.They had been on the verge of losing when they first started, but they were able to turn things around in just five minutes.Tamara’s team emerged victorious.After the vic
Margot was shocked. She hurriedly shielded Tamara.Everyone in the area gasped in shock when they saw what was happening. They stared at the scene unfolding before them in disbelief.Just as the guy with the baby face was about to lay his hand on Margot, a figure suddenly appeared and kicked him away.A loud crash sounded.The man got kicked several feet away, causing him to crash into the wall. He spat blood from his mouth.The crowd exclaimed in surprise.“Oh my God, that was one mean kick!”“The guy actually threw up blood! That was so awesome. I want to be able to kick that hard too!”“Damn, who is that guy? He’s so handsome!”Everyone around them began to whisper among themselves.“Throw this fellow out,” Benjamin said coldly to the security guards as he straightened out his black windbreaker.“Yes, sir.”The guards rushed over and carted the guy with the baby face away.He had lost the ability to resist them.Benjamin walked up to Margot and asked, “Are you okay?”
Tamara’s face turned bright red. She couldn’t stop herself from responding to the kiss.Feeling as if he had received tacit consent, Sebastian’s breathing grew labored. By the end, the unresolved desire in his eyes was frightening.Tamara shrank back from him and took his hand in hers, placing it on her belly.Her stomach had started to swell at five months pregnant. She was growing new lives inside of her.Sebastian chuckled lowly. “How clever of you.”Tamara’s cheeks remained bright red. Despite being pregnant, she did not appear bloated. In fact, she seemed to be sporting a pregnancy glow. She had a princess-like elegance about her.Sebastian’s eyes darkened. “But you can’t be irresponsible. You’ve got to finish what you’ve started.”Tamara’s cheeks flushed even more. Her crystal eyes twinkled as she looked at Sebastian dazedly.Sebastian held his breath for a moment before swallowing, causing his Adam’s apple to bob sensually.A lustful atmosphere pervaded the living room.
Tamara nodded and left the hospital.With a dark expression on his face, old Mr. Lynch stared at their receding backs. Yareli came over at this precise moment. “How did the checkup go?” the elderly man inquired hastily.Yareli was all smiles. “The babies are healthy. You don’t have to worry too much.”Old Mr. Lynch nodded. “That’s good to hear.”However, when he was reminded of the desolate expression on Tamara’s face moments ago, the old man could not help but feel that something was off. He merely glanced at Yareli, finding himself unable to voice his queries.…There was a park opposite the hospital.Tamara and Sebastian strolled along the path. Tamara looked up at the clear blue sky and let out a sigh.She rubbed her belly with one hand. She wondered why she was getting the feeling that her bond with her babies was thinning.“Clearly, something is bothering you. Tell me,” Sebastian asked, noticing how grim Tamara looked.She merely blinked and signed, “Do you still have t
