The man stared at Tamara in disbelief. “You fucking bitch! How dare you do that to my money?!”The man’s eyes turned red from fury. He reached out to slap Tamara across the face.In the next second, Tamara managed to clasp onto the man’s wrist and bend it forcefully.The man screamed out in agony. His features twisted uglily as he struggled to get out of Tamara’s death grip. He wanted to free his arm from her.However, Tamara wouldn’t let him go. She glared into his eyes coldly and said, “I want you to apologize to me.”“You fucking bitch…Ouch!” the man yelled, but his arm was beginning to hurt even more. If Tamara didn’t let go soon, he was certain that he would lose his arm.“I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have caused you any trouble. Please spare me…” the man begged for mercy, apologizing profusely.Tamara let out a displeased sneer before loosening her grip on him. Then, she got out some anti-bacterial wipes to clean her hands.The man held onto his injured arm and ran back to Jani
Sebastian was momentarily stunned. The silence felt like it lasted for ages.He stared at the empty glass in his hand blankly. His mind suddenly supplied him with memories of when he first tasted these specially crafted drinks.At the time, he was immensely shocked and did everything he could to get a hold of the bartender.However, he eventually found out that the mysterious bartender had been right under his nose. It was his Tammy.His dear Tammy was really talented. She had so many skills, which surprised him to no end.Sebastian let out a bitter smile, then got up to walk out.Simon was taken aback. “Where are you going?”“I’m going to check on Caleb,” Sebastian said raspily, then strode quickly to the bar.At this moment in the bar, Margot and Tamara were reminiscing about their past. They chatted while drinking. Eventually, they ended up getting a little tipsy.Tamara got up unsteadily. “I’m going to the washroom…”“Go ahead.” Margot leaned on the sofa with groggy eyes.
Sebastian felt his breathing grow hot all of a sudden. The heat traveled to his chest, causing not only his heart but also his limbs to ache.Tamara’s weak cries were heart-wrenching, and her eyes seemed to be shrouded in tears. She was staring at Sebastian reproachfully. She didn’t know that the man before her was the so-called ‘pig’ she was cursing at.Sebastian swallowed with difficulty. His gaze darkened significantly, tinted with heartache and bitterness. Subconsciously, he reached out to embrace her.“Don’t touch me!”However, once he made contact with her, he heard Tamara scold him. Sebastian instantly retracted his hands, afraid to make any moves.He gazed deeply at her reddening face. She looked as beautiful as ever, and the pitiful look in her eyes made his heart wrench.“Do you hate him?” he asked with difficulty.Tamara grabbed onto the man’s tie tightly, causing it to wrinkle.A moment later, she shook her head. “I don’t hate him. He’s been nothing but good to me.
At this moment, in the bar.Margot waited for a long while for Tamara, yet her friend had not returned. She glanced around curiously, trying to pinpoint her friend’s location.Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Tamara. However, she seemed to have been picked up by a tall man in the next second.What was going on?Margot squinted her eyes, hoping to get a better look at the situation. However, the two figures disappeared before she could do anything.She got up in a hurry and rushed over. However, she couldn’t see Tamara’s figure anywhere.The elevator doors opened, and a small figure suddenly appeared before her.“Thomas, why’d you come down here?” Margot leaned over to the little boy who had exquisite features. She pinched his cheeks and said, “Thomas, your considerate godmother, which is me, is going to take you upstairs to wait for Mommy, okay? It’s too chaotic down here. Children like you aren’t allowed here.”With that, she grabbed the boy's hand and walked him to the eleva
Thomas walked out of the private room next door. He looked up and spotted Tamara. Just as he was about to approach her, he saw that Mommy had Caleb’s hand in hers. Thomas hurriedly hid in the room.Mommy had mistaken Caleb for him again.He couldn’t possibly leave the room now! It would only scare her!He eyed the stairs for a moment. If he were to make his way there, he’d have to walk past Mommy. That wouldn’t work.Thomas wondered how he was supposed to leave.At this moment, Tamara suddenly turned back.Scared out of his mind, Thomas moved to hide, but he was a second too late. A hand reached out from behind and pulled him into the private room.Thomas gasped out in shock. When he caught sight of the person in the private room, his eyes widened suddenly.It was Daddy!Sebastian put a finger to his lips and shushed him.Thomas’ obsidian eyes widened even more at that. What did Daddy mean by this? Was he asking him to keep quiet?Could it be that he already knew that he was
Thomas was worried that Margot would discover their secret. As such, he used the scented tea leaves on her. It turned out that Mommy had picked up on it. What should Caleb do?Caleb wrung his hands together nervously. A moment later, Tamara straightened herself and said, “Her perfume smells so much like the scented tea leaves I developed. Gosh, I remember thinking that before.”Caleb remained silent.Was Mommy finding excuses to explain the situation?Tamara turned toward Caleb and asked, “Since Aunt Margot’s asleep, why don’t we stay here for a while? What do you think about sleeping here tonight?”Caleb nodded.Anywhere was fine as long as Mommy was there with him.Tamara grabbed Caleb’s hand and led him into the room a few feet away. Then, she said, “You can rest here. I need to go and buy something.”A worried expression appeared on Caleb’s face. He tugged on Tamara’s hand.“What’s wrong?” Tamara looked at him curiously.Caleb opened his mouth but closed it eventually. He
Sebastian swept his gaze over the men groaning in pain on the ground. Then, he turned toward Tamara and was met with the woman’s crystal clear eyes and sly smile. He stopped breathing for a second.“Why aren’t you speaking?”Tamara stared at him for a long moment, then walked up to him. She stopped a few feet away from the man.“Young Mr. Custry, are you really mute?”Sebastian remained silent.He did not dare to speak.Tamara’s smile widened even more. She suddenly reached out, planning to take off the man’s mask. However, before she could do so, the man had clasped onto her slender wrists.Tamara was taken aback. She struggled to get her hand out. “Young Mr. Custry, what are you doing?”Sebastian loosened his grip on her, then spun on his heel and headed toward 1999.Tamara froze. The man was going to 1999 as well?Was this really a coincidence?The amused smile she had been sporting suddenly vanished. The man’s tall frame was too familiar to her. She wasn’t one to make mi
At this moment, inside the washroom.Caleb could hear the conversation going on outside. His expression froze, and he forgot to finish brushing his teeth.What should he do?Aunt Margot noticed that something was off. She hadn’t forgotten what she saw and even told Mommy all about it!Was Mommy suspicious?Should he come clean to her?Caleb was beyond nervous.At this moment, Tamara glanced at Margot, then felt her forehead. “You don’t seem to have a fever.”Margot was taken aback. “I thought I was having hallucinations too, alright? How could I have seen two Thomas’s? But you did give birth to triplets, after all. One’s no longer with us, and the other…”She stopped herself halfway. When she noticed the sorrowful look in Tamara’s eyes, she grabbed her friend’s hand and said, “I’m sorry, my dear. I shouldn’t have brought it up…”Tamara smiled and shook her head. “It’s the truth, after all. It’s why I’m in Londsville right now. I’m here to find my lost son.”However, after he
