Not only was Tamara shocked, but even Jonathan, Cheryl, and Old Mrs. Moore were equally surprised.“Tammy, your voice… Can you speak now?” Jonathan asked in a cautious tone, worried that he would say something to trigger Tamara’s sorrow.Tamara covered her mouth with her hands. She did not dare to attempt to speak. Her eyes gradually watered.“Don’t cry. Oh, my darling granddaughter. You’ve just given birth! Crying will damage your eyes,” Old Mrs. Moore consoled as she hurriedly wiped Tamara’s tears away.Her babies! She had given birth to her babies!Tamara searched the room for them before noticing the crib next to her. She leaned over with difficulty and saw a baby with its mouth wrapped around its fingers.Why was there only one?Tamara was taken aback. She glanced over at Jonathan in confusion.Jonathan felt a bit wrong-footed. After hesitating, he decided to explain, “You gave birth to triplets. One of them was stillborn, and the other...has gone missing.”Missing? What
“What?”Tamara stared at Jonathan’s furious expression and couldn’t help but find the whole situation ridiculous.Was Jonathan delusional?There was no way that Sebastian didn’t want her!Tamara did her best to explain slowly, “He wouldn’t leave… He…loves me…very much…”Jonathan couldn’t help but rage at the mention of Sebastian. “If he loves you, where the hell was he when something like this happened to you? Tammy, it’s clear he doesn’t love you as much as you think!”Tamara kept shaking her head. “You’re wrong. He…must have his reasons…for not coming…to me…”Jonathan was about to add something else when his wife, Cheryl, abruptly stopped him. “Tammy has just given birth and received some shocking news. It’s best if you keep your thoughts to yourself for the time being.”Old Mrs. Moore glared at Jonathan with displeasure. “Get out. Find the missing baby in the meantime. Don’t make trouble for Tammy here.”Jonathan’s expression softened. “Alright.”Once Tammy recovered, he w
A divorce agreement?Tamara’s eyes widened in disbelief as she regarded Sandy.Who was this lady’s son?It couldn’t be Sebastian, could it? Absolutely not!“Sandy, if you’re here to visit my granddaughter, I welcome you with open arms. But if you’re here to make trouble, kindly fuck off!” When Old Mrs. Moore saw how pale Tamara had gotten, her usual warm demeanor disappeared as she barked angrily.“Don’t get too worked up, Mom.” Cheryl sat Old Mrs. Moore down with concern.Then, she glanced over at Sandy. “Who’s your son?”“Why, it’s Sebastian Lynch. Well, I suppose he’ll be known as Sebastian Custry from now on,” Sandy said with a smile. She did not care that she had angered Old Mrs. Moore.She took out the divorce agreement and handed it to Tamara. “Miss Simmons, please have a look through the terms. If everything looks good, please sign it.”Her gaze fell onto the crib nearby. When she saw the sleeping baby, she cocked a brow and leaned over, planning to hold it.“Get the
When Sandy saw the look of disbelief on Tamara’s face, she smiled smugly. “Tamara, you’ve already seen it for yourself. It’s clear that Seb doesn’t want anything to do with you. So, why don’t you save yourself the embarrassment and stop pestering a man that doesn’t even love you back?”As she spoke, her gaze wandered to rest on Cheryl, who had grown pale.Cheryl’s hands were clenched into fists at her sides. She did not dare make a sound when she thought about how horrible Tamara must be feeling at that moment.Tamara clutched the divorce papers with a slight tremble in her hands. Her eyes pricked painfully, but no tears were visible.She felt devastated. Her heart ached.She kept staring at Sebastian’s signature and repeated to herself that everything must have been a lie. She tried to convince herself that Sebastian hadn’t signed the papers.He would never abandon her like this.He had promised to spend the rest of his life with her. Why would he go back on his word?“That li
Tamara fell asleep, exhausted by all the crying.Cheryl helped Old Mrs. Moore into a sofa. “Mom, why don’t you get some rest back in the hotel? I’m sure everything will be fine once Tammy calms down,” she said quietly.Old Mrs. Moore shook her head. “I’m not leaving. I want to accompany Tammy here. She’s so upset. She needs her family’s support more than anything.”Cheryl knew it was hopeless to try arguing with her, so she remained silent afterward.At this moment, Jonathan walked in.When he noticed Tamara’s eyes were red and puffy as she slept, he frowned and walked over, softly asking, “What happened to Tammy?”Cheryl recounted everything that had happened to him. After she was finished, Jonathan fumed with rage. “Sandy Checkers is such a conniving bitch! She really thinks that her arrogance is warranted just because she’s a Custry, huh? I’m going to make sure she pays for this!”“Come back here!” Cheryl looked at him, displeased. “You know as well as I do that she’s a Custr
“Tammy, go to Clacton with the Moore family and start a new life,” Margot said with an aching heart. When she found out that Sebastian had left Londsville, she was shocked beyond belief.Why would Sebastian leave Londsville?Tammy had just given birth, so why would he do that?It was only after that she heard that Sebastian was actually a descendant of the Custry family. It turned out that the man had gone to Clacton for his inheritance. Furious, she had meant to storm over to Sebastian and get him to explain everything.However, she found that she couldn’t even locate the man.When she arrived at the ward, she first noticed Tamara’s red, swollen eyes. She knew her friend must have been crying her eyes out from sorrow.Margot grabbed Tamara’s hand in hers and looked at her with concern.Tamara shut her eyes, feeling hopeless. She did her best to calm herself down, but whenever she thought about how Sebastian didn’t want anything to do with her anymore, she couldn’t help herself
Even Ms. Thompson had no clue…A look of despair appeared on Tamara’s face. Sebastian had arranged a funeral for Old Mr. Lynch here yet would not make any effort to visit her.Was he really that desperate to avoid her?When Ms. Thompson saw how upset Tamara looked, she hurriedly said, “Young Mrs. Lynch, Young Mr. Lynch must have a valid reason for everything that happened. I’m sure he’ll come for you once he has resolved the issue.”Tamara smiled bitterly. “What reason could there be? Why wouldn’t he just be straight with me?”Ms. Thompson was stunned. She didn’t know what else to say.Sebastian and Tamara’s relationship had changed in an instant. The housekeeper had no idea what happened in between, so she did not know what advice to give.Tamara lifted her gaze and looked around the house she’d been living in for months, a sad gleam in her eyes. Every inch of the space reminded her of her time with Sebastian.He and she used to go for evening strolls and talk about baby names
When the four handsome men saw Tamara and Thomas walk out, they walked up to them at the same time.“My darling, Tammy, welcome back!” Jason Moore, Tamara’s eldest cousin, greeted Tamara as he handed her a rose. There was a gentle, polite smile on his face.“Tammy, welcome!” Jayden Moore, her second eldest cousin, also handed her a rose. He was wearing a pair of rimless glasses and exuded a bookish aura.“Tammy, welcome home!” her third eldest cousin, Jordan Moore, greeted. He was tall and handsome, sporting a shy smile on his rugged features.“Tammy, my dear! Welcome…” her fourth eldest cousin, Joseph Moore, finally greeted with a slight hiccup. After a moment’s hesitation, he added, “Welcome back to us!”Tamara couldn’t stop herself from laughing. She looked briefly at her handsome cousins before accepting the roses from each of them. “You guys are causing quite a stir. Everyone will assume that the four of you are vying for the same girl’s attention or something.”Jordan’s exp
