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
When Tamara heard that, her beautiful brows furrowed. “You’re getting bullied? By who?”Jocelyn looked as if she couldn’t care less. “Just let me know if you’re willing to lend me Anthony.”Tamara stared at her for a moment. She wanted Jocelyn to show her some proof before agreeing, but what if the young woman was telling the truth?Tamara signed, “Alright.”Jocelyn smiled. “Good. I want Anthony to accompany me to school tomorrow.”After that, she spun on her heel and went upstairs.Staring after Jocelyn’s receding back, she could not shake the feeling that something was off. She took out her phone and sent Anthony a message.Tamara: “Look up who Jocelyn has been interacting with recently. Let me know if you find anything strange.”Anthony: “Understood, miss.”…The kitchen gave off a pleasant aroma. Tamara put down her phone and walked inside, where she discovered Sebastian’s tall figure occupying the kitchen. His slender frame exuded a dignified and cool demeanor. Even thou
Joanne stood at the workshop entrance, her gaze fixed on Tamara.Margot inched closer to Tamara. “She definitely has bad intentions.”Tamara smiled and signed, “Don’t worry, I’ll only be a minute.”“Go ahead. I’ll keep an eye out for you from here.” Margot nodded.Tamara got up and walked up to Joanne. She raised her phone to show her a line of text which read, “Miss Custry, to what do I owe this pleasure?”Joanne swept her eyes over Tamara, her eyes flashing with disdain. Then, she said, “Let’s talk in the café downstairs.”Tamara nodded.Aside from the soft music playing in the background, the café was relatively quiet.“Young Mrs. Lynch. Sorry, I mean Miss Simmons. Let me tell you something. You are not worthy of Sebastian,” Joanne went straight to the point. Her arms were crossed as she glared down at Tamara, looking like she thought she was infinitely superior.Tamara blinked at the woman. She did not expect Joanne to be this straightforward.Her slender fingers began to
“What? She invited you to her party? What for? Is she provoking you on purpose?” Margot was surprised. “Are you going?”Tamara signed, “I’m still considering it.”Margot sneered. “She really did declare war just like that! How foolishly daring of her.”Tamara did not respond.After returning to the workshop, they started to film.Tamara was already used to the entire process and had mastered the techniques. As such, the shoot went by smoothly.Everything got completed by the afternoon.Margot drove Tamara home. She watched as her friend unbuckled the seatbelt and asked, “So, what do you plan to do?”“I’m going to see what all the fuss is about,” Tamara replied.Margot nodded. “Alright. I’ll keep you company.”Tamara nodded, then got out of the car and went inside to nap.She was exhausted. She needed rest.…When Tamara arrived at 1999 in the evening, she spotted a familiar car.It was Sebastian’s.He was indeed here.Tamara had no idea why, but a strange feeling welled
Margot, on the other hand, had already been dragged away by Benjamin, who had appeared out of nowhere. The man hadn’t even said hello to Tamara.Tamara could only watch as Tamara got dragged away. She reached out a hand but was unable to grab Margot’s hand.She felt waves of heat fill her body. She was starting to get dizzy.She couldn’t stay here any longer. She had to get out.She looked up and noticed Sebastian, who was a short distance away, had his eyes downcast. He appeared to be looking at his phone.Tamara forced her body to move in his direction.As long as she made it to Sebastian, she knew everything would be okay.They were neither too close nor too far apart. However, since the room was so crowded, the distance between them seemed to stretch indefinitely.Tamara squeezed her way through, bit by bit. She was only a few steps away from Sebastian. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her, blocking her path.“Tamara, are you okay?”Hearing a familiar voice, Tamara
James stood up after casting a glance at Tamara as Sebastian was carrying her off. As he ran a hand over his shirt to smooth it out, he said, “Sorry, but I can’t agree with what you’re telling me to do.”When Sebastian and Joanne arrived, they discovered an unconscious Tamara lying on the couch while James talked to her.They didn’t seem to react to the scene.Sebastian had an icy look on his face because Tamara was ill, yet James made no move to bring her to the hospital.That was very suspicious.Joanne stared coldly at James. “Do you wish to call off your engagement with Jessica?”A look of indifference replaced James’ usual gentle face. “Will I be able to marry her if I follow through?”“You!” Joanne was angry that James did not do as she said.But the plan failed, and nothing could change that.Joanne stomped off, leaving James alone in the room.James stood rooted to his spot. His gaze lowered, and there was a faint look on his face.In the end, he couldn’t bring himse
Tamara thought she’d been thrown into another nightmare.She was glad it was Sebastian and not anyone else.Something primal within him stirred when Sebastian saw Tamara in her birthday suit. “What’s wrong?” he asked, grabbing Tamara’s shoulders.Tamara looked up and signed, “Last night, I thought it was…”Before she finished, an odd feeling washed over her.Tamara slowly looked down and discovered her chest was exposed. In fact, she was standing naked.Tamara’s face became as red as a tomato. She grabbed the blanket quickly and wrapped it around herself. Her bright, clear eyes did not dare to meet Sebastian’s.Oh, my God!What was she doing?Tamara couldn’t believe she had conversed with Sebastian in the nude. She even rushed over to hug him!Tamara wanted nothing more than to dig a hole and hide inside it.Sebastian chuckled lowly. He walked over and sat on the bed. He observed Tamara’s blushing face and said huskily, “This isn’t the first time I saw you in this state.”T
