Benjamin had been staying at her place for the past few days. No matter how many times Margot chased him away, one wrong move and Benjamin would change her mind with his action.After that, Margot gave up. He was just another mouth to feed and could even serve as a bedwarmer. It was not a bad deal.She was supposed to have a day off. However, when Margot came out from her room, she saw Benjamin standing by the railings with rapidly changing expressions.He appeared angry one moment and sinister the next. His eyes were bloodshot. That caught Margot off guard. She slowly crept up to him and asked, “What’s wrong, Benjamin?”When he heard her voice, Benjamin snapped his head around. He stared at Margot with his bloodshot eyes. His eyes kept switching between a loving look and an angry one. It looked as if two people were fighting to take over his body.“Are you okay, Benjamin? I’ll take you to the hospital.” Margot realized how bad the situation was.She knew the Benjamin she was acq
Benjamin had been friends with Sebastian for many years now. Sebastian knew why Benjamin did what he did.However, Sebastian also took note of Benjamin’s changes.“Benjamin is not in Londsville. I don’t know where he went,” informed Sebastian.Tamara narrowed her eyes. “How could he do that?”Even if he was having an argument with Margot, he shouldn’t have laid his hands on her.Sebastian saw Tamara’s rage and took her by the hand. “We’ll have to wait for his return to find out exactly what happened. All you have to do now is worry about yourself, okay?”Tamara twitched at that. Margot was her friend. How could she not worry?Tamara couldn’t help but giggle as she stared at the blatantly envious Sebastian.Sebastian pecked the corners of her lips. “What are you laughing at?”Tamara shook her head and said nothing.If she were to mention it, Sebastian would keep his emotions in check the next time.She liked seeing him like this.…Back at the Simmons residence, Anthony was
Tamara stopped in her tracks. She lowered her gaze to the grass. A black box had fallen near her feet. She curiously lifted her skirt and bent down. Anthony walked over and drew Tamara aside by her arm.“Allow me to check what’s inside,” said Anthony.Tamara’s clear eyes shone with worry. “Be careful.”It seemed strange that a box would suddenly appear out of nowhere.She couldn’t help but think back to the murderous gaze she had felt earlier.What exactly was inside the box?Anthony nodded before cautiously approaching. He gave it a kick. The box jolted, indicating that it contained nothing heavy.Tamara sighed in relief. If there were a bomb inside, the box wouldn’t have moved from the kick.Anthony let his guard down and bent down to pick the box up.The box was the size of both his palm.Anthony found the opening to the box and pulled it open. Something dropped out.When Tamara saw the thing, she gagged and rushed to the bathroom.It was a dead rat!The rat was covered
Jerome smiled in amusement at the crowd’s failed attempt to keep their curiosity in check.That was just one video call. He had witnessed more intimate scenes between the couple before!Jerome snickered at the crowd. What a bunch of losers.…At the Simmons residence.Anthony was quick in his investigation. He came over to knock on Tamara’s room door just as she hung up the phone.Tamara went to open the door, and Anthony handed the laptop over to her.The footage from the surveillance camera was displayed on the screen. A person was seen hiding in the corner a few minutes before the box was thrown. That person was constantly peering inside.That person was also the one who had thrown the box.“Find and capture that person,” ordered Tamara coldly. She needed to know what the person’s intention was.Anthony nodded before leaving.When Sebastian returned home in the evening, he noticed Tamara lounging on the couch. Her hand was placed over her bulging stomach, and her gaze was
When the man heard James’ name, his eyes instinctively lit up in recognition. Sebastian snorted, “Why did he send you?”“I don’t know who you’re talking about. No one sent me,” the man said obstinately.Tamara’s beautiful brows knitted together. “How could you suspect James? He has no reason to hurt me.”Sebastian’s face turned cold when he heard that. “How can you be certain?”Sebastian’s question dumbfounded Tamara. “You have a biased view of him. Also, he’s not even in Londsville.”Sebastian frowned at her. “I won’t let a single suspect off. He reacted to James’ name. That could only mean one thing. James was the one behind this.”Tamara couldn’t believe her ears. “You’re putting the blame on James just because of this? You are too quick to judge, Sebastian!”Sebastian watched as Tamara flew into a fit. He tightened his jaw before returning his gaze to the man. “Use the scented tea leaves on him!”The guard nodded and crinkled the leaves. He pressed them against the suspec
Killer…Tamara swallowed hard. “Who could it be? Sending a killer after me.”A dark look flashed across Sebastian’s eyes. He brought Tamara back inside. Looking at her pale face, he comforted, “I’ll take care of this. Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”Tamara looked at him with wide eyes and nodded.Just then, Anthony came from outside.“Miss, there is no information on the person. It was like he never existed.” Anthony reported his findings.That further confirmed the person’s identity as a killer.Sebastian’s cold eyes landed on Anthony. “How’s your skill?”Anthony looked indifferent. “What do you need from me, Young Mr. Lynch?”“Let’s have a match.” Sebastian stood up and took off his coat. He rolled up his sleeves, and his toned arms came into view.Anthony frowned and wished to decline. On the other hand, Sebastian didn’t give him a chance to refuse. He walked outside swiftly.Five minutes later, Sebastian came back inside and took a seat beside Tamara. He mumbled, “He has som
“You forget yourself, Tamara. You are nothing more than a baby-making machine for the family. Once the children are born, do you think the Lynch family will take you in?” Yareli mocked. She despised Tamara for overstepping her bounds, for believing she could claim to be Sebastian’s wife simply because she had seduced him.What a joke!She reluctantly agreed back then because of Old Mr. Lynch’s wish. Tamara was only married to Sebastian for that reason. Tamara’s worth, however, would quickly dwindle with the old man’s recovering body and the growing babies.Tamara twitched. She continued to plaster a small smile on her face but said nothing.At first, she shared Yareli’s sentiments.She never wanted to become Sebastian’s wife.Yet over time, she slowly fell for Sebastian.From that day on, she was determined to stay by Sebastian’s side.Yareli looked away from Tamara and made her way outside.Tamara composed herself before trailing after her.They could clearly see the babies
Sebastian observed Tamara. His brows knitted together. “You don’t need to do this.”Tamara’s eyes glistened at him. “A change of place might be good for my emotions.”Sebastian pursed his lips. He grabbed her hand and left the hospital.At Skarrowlilt Grove.Two months had passed, and the manor was still as before. Ms. Thompson and the others had arrived before them.Tamara entered and went straight for the couch to rest.Just then, Austin walked over. He had his usual indifferent look and said, “Here are some vitamins, Young Mrs. Lynch. If you start eating them every day until you give birth, it will be good for your health.”Tamara stared at him for a moment before she took the bottle from him.Austin did not follow Tamara when she went back to the Simmons residence. Old Mr. Lynch was the one who had hired him. Without the old man’s orders, Austin would not leave.Since Tamara was back, it was natural for Austin to look after her again.Tamara’s gaze fell onto the bottle. S
