“Impossible. Why would the great Cutie join a random match? This was a matching system,” argued another voice.“Look at their game ID! It really is Cutie-pie! The one and only!”The two random players were getting excited, and they kept talking over each other. It was honestly too much.Tamara closed the voice chat. She spared a glance at Sebastian. He had his brows furrowed and did not bother hiding his annoyance.To him, this was a disaster.Tamara patted his hand. “If you don’t want to, we could always play against each other instead.”Sebastian relaxed a little. “It’s fine as long as they shut up.”Tamara nodded.It was time to choose their character. Margot typed: “What position are you guys taking?”The two random players seemed to realize Tamara had shut the voice chat and replied in chat. The first random player typed: “I can play the support. What will the great Cutie choose?”The second random player added: “Can I pick Yvette and follow the great Cutie around?”M
That was unexpected.Tamara was as red as a tomato. She pushed away Sebastian’s hand. Thinking back, she suddenly had a sense of nostalgia.She would never have met Sebastian, let alone fallen in love with him if events had not unfolded as they did.Why did she suddenly have the urge to thank Quentin?Sebastian saw she was lost in thought. He gently brought her back, “Want to go for another round?”Tamara shook her head. “I’m tired. I’m going to take a nap.”She was in her last trimester. Gaming was enough to take a toll on her. The babies in her stomach would occasionally shift and kick. She couldn’t focus on her game at all.She was starting to worry about the competition day itself.Sebastian observed her anxious expression. He leaned forward and pecked her lips. “Don’t worry. You’ll surely win.”Tamara nodded. She suddenly thought of something and turned to Sebastian. “I know you are the president of ST Corporation. Promise me you won’t pull some underhanded tricks. I want
“What does it matter if I am? They don’t know anything! How dare they speak so ill of her?” Margot’s face was flushed with rage.James sighed helplessly, “You’re right. They don’t know anything. Their imagination is all they have going for them. They have absolutely nothing to do with us. We are only here for Tamara. Just brush everything else aside.”Margot mirrored his sigh. “You’re right.”If they were back at 1999, Margot would have chased them out.Their attention was drawn back to the stage. Tamara had taken her seat, and the host was beginning with a warm welcome. The match officially started as soon as the remaining participants went on the stage.Margot scanned the crowd. Sadness seeped through her bones when she didn’t see the familiar figure.Benjamin had been gone for a month.When would he be back?Margot was greatly distracted.…Meanwhile, Tamara turned around on stage and saw Sebastian standing not far from her. His sexy lips curled into a smile, and he gazed
James smiled helplessly and focused his attention back on the stage.Tamara was doing fine when she started, but she slowly turned pale in the middle of the game.Sebastian mirrored her expression.At the same time, the host also noticed Tamara’s discomfort on the stage. However, the other opponents couldn’t hear the host over the sound of their game.Even the crowd grew worried at this.Tamara’s teammates were pushing forward. They realized Tamara’s archer was nowhere to be found and couldn’t help but ask, “Where are you, Cutie? We are pushing forward.”Yet Tamara could only close her eyes. Her three babies just had to pick this time to start kicking up a storm in her womb.Her worst fear had come true.One of her babies gave a forceful kick that sent Tamara bending over in pain. Her phone almost fell from her hand.“What happened?”“Cutie looks ill.”“She looks pale. Did her water break?”“Poor girl. I can’t believe she still came to the competition. Her husband is an idi
“What happened?”“What the fuck?”“Cutie looks ill. Did her water break?”The crowd was paying close attention to Tamara. When they saw how off she looked, the chatters began again.When her teammates saw this, the colors immediately drained from their faces. One of them even cursed, “I fucking told you to call it quits. Why didn’t you fucking listen? Do you know how fucking important this competition is? I need the money to cure my mom’s sickness.”The teammate was greatly angered. They thought they would win and never expected such mistakes from Tamara.When the other three heard this, they immediately agreed, “They’re right. You shouldn’t have come. Don’t you know your limits?”“Damn it! Why did a pregnant lady like you come anyway? Do you really think you could win?”“Just log off! We don’t need you!”Their awful rants sounded from Tamara’s headphones. Tamara grew pale at this, and her brows tightly knitted together.All the compliments she had received before had turned
The audience’s jaw dropped.Margot laughed hysterically. “Take that, assholes! Come on, weren’t you all chatting up a storm earlier? Why did you all suddenly stop talking? Who’s talking now, huh?”James facepalmed.Margot didn’t hold back in her mockery. The people around her glared harshly at her, but none dared to speak up.What she said was true.Who was it who said Tamara’s husband was useless? That all he had going for him were his looks?Who mocked Tamara? Saying she had to make a living via her streams? And that she was living a sad life?Now that they had a better look, they could see that the handsome man on stage was none other than the president of ST Corporation, and he was Tamara’s husband!“Holy fuck! I ship them so much! They look so cute together!”“Oh my god! So that is Cutie’s husband? She is such a lucky woman!”I’ve heard that the wives of wealthy people lead a suffocating existence. Even though Cutie was pregnant, she could still live her life the way she
The atmosphere around them was awkward. Margot didn’t appear to be feeling the increasing tension, though. She kept clinging to Tamara.Tamara nodded. “That’s a good idea. I’m a little worn out as well. I can use this time to relax.”Margot nodded excitedly. “Let’s go!”Then, she turned to Sebastian. “Will you be coming with us?”Sebastian gave her an icy look. He opened the driver’s door, and the driver immediately got out. Sebastian would be driving instead. “I’m not leaving my wife alone with you.”Margot rolled her eyes.Tamara giggled at their childish banter. She couldn’t help but be curious. Margot had always feared Sebastian, but now she was rolling her eyes at him.Tamara gave it a thought. All of a sudden, an idea popped up in her mind, and she tapped her head.“What’s wrong, Tammy?” Margot tilted her head in confusion.Tamara shook her head. “Nothing.”She decided to leave this for later. Sebastian was driving, and this was not the right time for that.The celebra
Margot drove Tamara to her house.After Tamara entered, she went straight for the couch.Her last trimester had left her exhausted. Even taking a couple of steps could leave her gasping for air, let alone after such an intense match.Margot brought her some clothes. “Here. You can change into them. You’ll feel much more comfortable.”Tamara nodded and went upstairs to change.She had been here before. It’s just that nobody knew that.After changing her clothes, Tamara saw that Margot had prepared some fruits for them and that she had left them on the balcony table.“Have a seat,” Margot called Tamara over.Tamara came over. “What’s up with you?”“There’s no news on Benjamin! That bastard! Playing with my heart like that!” Margot couldn’t help but curse when Benjamin’s name was brought up.Tamara sighed helplessly. “He must have his reasons. Maybe he just couldn’t meet you now. Once he has settled his business, he’ll come back… Probably.”Margot gave Tamara a hopeful look. “Y
