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
“Young Mrs. Lynch, here’s some freshly made broth. Would you like some?” Ms. Clark, the nanny, asked.Ms. Clark had been trained in sign language prior to her arrival. As a result, she was able to interpret Tamara’s signs.“No, thank you. Please leave it outside.”Tamara no longer trusted anything from anyone else who wasn’t Ms. Thompson.Ms. Clark frowned. “Young Mrs. Lynch, you’re two months away from giving birth. You’ll have to eat to gain enough strength to push the babies out smoothly.”Tamara’s beautiful brows furrowed. “I stand by what I said. I don’t want it. Leave it outside.”“But—” Ms. Clark began to refute.At this moment, Ms. Thompson walked over and shot Ms. Clark a warning look. Then, she said, “Young Mrs. Lynch has already expressed that she doesn’t want it. Are you the boss here, or is she?”Ms. Clark was stunned. She apologized quickly. “I apologize, Young Mrs. Lynch. I’ll do as you ask.”The nanny spun on her heel and left in a hurry.Ms. Thompson looked a
Sebastian had Tamara in his arms and was kissing her!Was the man in the picture really the handsome, mysterious, cold, noble President Lynch?He looked like a completely different person in the photo!While the receptionist was ruminating in shock, Tamara had already made her way to the elevator. When she recalled the surprised look on the receptionist’s face, she couldn’t help but snicker.She lowered her gaze to look at the picture. She had taken this picture when Sebastian kissed her one time. The angle had been perfect.The elevator took her to the top floor. She could tell the atmosphere was off when she walked out. A few people were gathered around the president’s office door. Their heads were bowed, and their hands were tightly clasping the papers.Tamara blinked curiously at them, then made her way into the office.When those people saw her, they were shocked. They began to ask, “Is that woman President Lynch’s wife?”“Isn’t it obvious? Look at that belly of hers!”“T
