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
A string of codes appeared rapidly on the computer screen, and Tamara’s fingers moved fast over the keyboard.“My dear Tammy, where on earth did you unearth these hacking skills of yours?” Margot exclaimed after snapping back to her senses.How was Tammy so multi-talented?She could bartend, make tea, game, change her appearance with makeup, and hack into databases!A moment later, Tamara finally stopped typing. As Margot drew nearer to the computer, she noticed that the screen was showing a satellite image.“What’s this?” Margot enquired while appearing lost.“It’s the baby-faced guy’s IP address,” Tamara signed.“You’re so cool!”Margot hugged Tamara and couldn’t help but kiss her on the cheek. Then, she said, “With this, we can finally track him! That’ll teach him for slandering you online! I’ll make sure to ruin his life!”Tamara smiled faintly, then moved her laptop aside.Margot was still curious. “Tell me, when did you get into hacking?”Tamara pondered before signing
Tamara pursed her lips unhappily, but she did not continue to stir up a fuss.When Sebastian noticed, he couldn’t help but frown.Tamara hadn’t been in a good mood since returning from the hospital. She kept sporting a grim look.He deduced that something must have happened in the hospital while she was getting her checkup. He wondered what it could be.Sebastian and Tamara went for a walk around the neighborhood after the meal.There was a park in the middle of the neighborhood. Many people were taking a stroll alongside them around this time.Tamara gazed at the sunset with squinted eyes. Suddenly, someone’s phone rang out.It was Sebastian’s.Tamara signed, “Go ahead and take the call. I’m going to sit over there.”She pointed at a bench nearby.“Alright.”Sebastian nodded.Tamara walked over to the bench, as mentioned.Many kids were running around playing amongst themselves.At this moment, a kid riding a bicycle suddenly rushed toward her.When Tamara realized what
The tension in the air was getting thicker by the minute.“I want to go home. I’m exhausted.” To prevent the situation from worsening, she tugged Sebastian forcefully in the direction of the villa.James’ voice rang out suddenly. “I’m looking forward to your visit, Young Mr. Lynch.”Tamara was rendered speechless.She wanted to drop off the face of the earth at this moment.Sebastian’s lips curled into a cold smirk. Just as he was about to retort, he spotted the frown on Tamara’s face. She looked really uncomfortable.“What’s wrong?”Tamara pushed Sebastian’s hand away from hers and headed toward the villa by herself.Sebastian was taken aback and decided he didn’t want to mess with James any longer. He dashed after Tamara and drew her into his embrace. “All right, let’s head home. Please don’t be angry with me, okay?”Tamara had pretended to put on a straight face on purpose. After hearing that, she decided to drop the facade.…James stared after their receding backs. Th
Tamara felt increasingly guilty. She reached out to take Sebastian’s hand, but he shied away. Then, he walked over to the sofa up ahead and took a seat.Tamara was stunned. Acknowledging the error of her ways, she rushed up to him and took the seat next to him. She signed, “I just wanted to earn some income on the side. You know how my life was when I was still living at the Simmons’ residence. I would have starved to death if I hadn’t found work to support myself.”Although the Simmons family had taken care of most of her needs, she would’ve lived like a canary in a cage if she had idled away without doing anything. If the Simmons family ceased to exist all of a sudden, she would grow vulnerable enough that even a gust of wind could do her in.As such, she worked to better herself.Her mother had taught her to make tea, and Tamara herself had discovered TikTok filming herself. She took an interest in the platform and realized it provided her with an avenue to make money. Therefore
Joanne walked up to Sebastian with a charming smile on her beautiful face.She reached out to wrap her hand around his arm, but Sebastian was quick to dodge her advances.“I’m waiting for my wife,” Sebastian said coldly. He did not even look at Joanne as he spoke, his eyes still pointedly fixed on Tamara at a distance.Joanne followed his gaze and saw that the woman was dressed in a strange costume. It looked like a film set.“What’s Young Mrs. Lynch doing?” Joanne asked, curious.Sebastian ignored her. When he saw that Tamara’s shoot had ended, he walked straight toward her.“Tired?”When Sebastian saw the bead of sweat on Tamara’s forehead, he asked with a frown.Tamara shook her head and signed, “No. It’s just a little hot.”“Sebastian, you have such a good relationship with your wife. I’m so envious,” Joanne said as she walked up to them.Tamara froze when she saw her. She hadn’t expected to see her here.Then, she glanced up at Sebastian with curiosity in her eyes.Wha
After a whole day of filming, the shoot for that one TikTok video finally ended.Upon returning to the Simmons’ residence, they spotted an unexpected yet familiar figure.Old Mr. Lynch was standing at the door with a crutch in hand. His expression darkened when he saw Tamara and Sebastian. “How long are you guys planning to stay here?”Sebastian held Tamara’s hand in hers, his expression cold as he said, “Grandpa, why don’t you come in with us and have a seat?”The old man scoffed. “This isn’t my home. Why the hell would I even step inside? I want you both to come back to Skarrowlilt Grove with me right this instant! It’s unbecoming for the both of you to stay here!”With that, Old Mr. Lynch got into the car he came in. He did not give them any room to protest.Tamara’s eyes were downcast. Her long eyelashes fluttered.“Head inside first. “I’ll be right over,” Sebastian said quietly.Tamara was stunned. She looked up at him and signed, “What are you planning to tell him?”“Don
With that, warm lips suddenly descended upon her.Tamara was rendered speechless.She just knew that Sebastian wouldn’t let her off that easily.…Jocelyn couldn’t stay in the house any longer after she ran into the kissing couple.She headed straight to a bar instead.“Why are you drinking here? Did that bodyguard reject you?” Janine was a frequent customer at the same bar. When she spotted Jocelyn, she walked up to her and asked sardonically.Jocelyn glared at her. “If you have nothing nice to say, shut up. Don’t make me pull your teeth out!”Janine froze. “Why are you so rude? No wonder that bodyguard doesn’t like you! Tamara might be mute, but she’s a proper lady. With her disability, it’s easy for her to gain sympathy from men too.”“Shut up!”Jocelyn was already feeling morose. After hearing what Janine said, she got even more upset.Janine merely sneered. “Jocelyn Simmons, why are you taking your anger out on me? You should be directing your anger at Tamara. Get it in
