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
Sebastian was pulling at his collar with one hand while the other gripped the steering wheels. He was being driven insane by a weight on his chest.Back at Skarrowlilt Grove, Ms. Thompson had prepared some food for him. However, looking at his plate, he suddenly lost his appetite.Tamara had been with him at every meal for the past few months. Sebastian felt strange without her.He decided to drive to Margot’s house in order to catch a glimpse of Tamara.His dark eyes scanned the manor. Still, he couldn’t find even a sliver of his love’s shadow.Sebastian pulled out his phone and made a call. The phone rang for a long time before the call was answered. “Hello?”“When are you coming back? My wife has been snatched away by Margot. Come back and keep her company,” ordered Sebastian coldly.Benjamin was on the other end of the line. “You know my predicament, Seb. I can’t come back now.”Benjamin found himself between a rock and a hard place. If he returned now, he would undoubtedly
Margot quirked a brow. “Are you sure?”Tamara gave a firm nod. “Positive!”Margot reached a hand out to Tamara. This only brought confusion to Tamara.“To prevent anyone from disturbing our girls’ night, you must turn your phone off. I’ll do the same. So, hand them over,” grinned Margot playfully.Tamara hesitated at the idea. “Do I have to turn it off?”“If you don’t, I will have to witness a modern-day Romeo and Juliet scene playing out in front of me,” started Margot. “Or you can go home. I’ll be fine on my own.”Tamara took a deep breath.She gritted her teeth and shut her phone off.It was just one night. Tamara was sure Sebastian would survive this.Margot smirked, “Let’s begin our girls’ night!”Tamara swallowed hard.At the same time, downstairs, Sebastian saw that Tamara was not replying to his messages. He looked up at the manor and saw the figure walking away from the window.Did she not read his message?Sebastian waited patiently for a while. The response neve
Tamara was startled. She saw Sebastian staring at her with his bloodshot eyes. Before she could react, he had trapped her and caught her lips between his own.She was drowning in his scent. He was like a beast wanting to swallow her whole.Tamara’s head swirled. Her lips were suddenly bitten.Tamara hissed in pain and pushed Sebastian away. She pouted at him.Sebastian warned hoarsely, “This is your punishment for leaving me on read.”Tamara whined.Fine. She deserved that.Just then, Margot walked out. When she was about to knock on the car’s window, the car had driven away.Margot clicked her tongue.He couldn’t be more evident with his feelings.…Tamara felt helpless in the car. However, whenever she glanced at Sebastian’s hardened look, she grew guilty, having remembered he had spent the whole night waiting on her.Why did she decide to stay?Back at Skarrowlilt Grove, Tamara accompanied Sebastian for a quick breakfast before she was pulled upstairs into their room by
“Let’s eat,” came Sebastian’s voice. Tamara snapped out of her thoughts and went to the dining hall.Looking at the food prepared by Ms. Thompson, Tamara felt her mouth water.All of a sudden, Sebastian grabbed the back of Tamara’s hand and went in for a kiss. After some tongue action, he let go of her. Tamara could only stare at him in confusion. Sebastian, on the other hand, was happily chowing down on his food.That only furthered Tamara’s confusion.Sebastian had developed a weird habit of kissing her before every meal.What was up with his unusual ritual?Tamara bit back her confusion for now. She would get to the bottom of this later.After lunch, Sebastian left for the office. Tamara saw him off. She placed a hand over her stomach and thought, “My dear children, I wonder what’s up with your daddy’s weird habit.”…Tamara returned to her room and took out her laptop. She stretched her arms over her head before a serious look appeared on her face.Her nimble fingers ju
Margot even pouted pitifully at Tamara. “Do you really want me to leave?”Tamara nodded firmly. “Yes.”Going out would be preferable to rotting at home.Who knew what was happening with Benjamin? But if Margot were to continue with her current routines, she would be the one in trouble instead.Margot gave Tamara her best puppy eyes.Tamara couldn’t win against her. She coughed lightly and said, “You don’t want to prepare some gifts for your godchildren?”Margot rolled her eyes. “I know what you’re trying to do, Tammy. But what if Benjamin came back while I was away?”Tamara wanted to burst her bubble. However, looking at how lost Margot looked, she held back. “Maybe you’ll meet him out there.”Margot’s eyes twinkled with hope. “You’re right. If he doesn’t come back, I’ll go to him instead.”Tamara saw that Margot was back to her usual self and let out a relieved sigh.“I’ll be ending our call, Tammy. I have to start packing my things now,” said Margot.Tamara nodded before t
