Tamara turned to where Thomas was pointing. She saw Simon and Sebastian sitting on some chairs not far from the KFC outlet they were in.When the men saw her looking over, Simon flashed an amused smile. Sebastian, on the other hand, was wearing a hat and a mask to conceal himself. Only his eyes could be seen, and they were staring longingly at Tamara.Tamara looked indifferent. She took the rose and placed it aside. “Have you eaten?”Thomas shook his head. “Nope. I want to eat a hamburger, Mommy.”“Then have a seat,” Tamara coaxed softly. She got up to get another burger set.The three children were sitting on one end while Margot was opposite them. She observed the trio with delight.Tamara returned not long after. When she saw the look on Margot’s face, Tamara sighed. “Stop with your nonsense. Melly has a family of her own.”Margot quirked an eyebrow. “Fine, I’ll stop. But I’m sure this will occupy your mind for days to come.”Tamara sighed.After their meal, Tamara tilted h
Tamara bent down and smiled gently at Melanie. “Melly, your bodyguards are here to pick you up. It’s time for you to go home.”Melanie nodded obediently. In the next second, she suddenly hugged Tamara. “I really like you, pretty lady. I hope we can meet again.”Tamara was a little downcast. “We will. We’ll definitely meet again.”Melanie kissed Tamara’s face and smiled. Her eyes lit up, and she looked so lovable.“We’ve been searching for you, little miss. Why did you run off?” The head of the bodyguards pulled Melanie away from Tamara. He questioned sternly, “Do you know that we might lose our jobs because of your childish actions?” Melanie’s smile faded away. “I’m sorry.”The bodyguards continued firmly, “Make sure that this doesn’t happen again. If you pull anything funny again, I’ll have to tell your grandfather about this!”Melanie started trembling when she heard this.She turned to Tamara. “Goodbye, pretty lady.”Tamara’s eyebrows knitted tightly together. Annoyance fi
The cops came down from their car and stopped the chaos from unfolding.The bodyguards did not dare to fight back and were all escorted into the police car.Tamara and the rest followed along. They had to file a report in order for the police to carry out an investigation.After arriving at the police station, Tamara pointed an accusing finger at the bodyguards. “I suspect they were abusing this child!”“Bullshit!” The head of the bodyguards glared harshly at Tamara. “She’s our employer’s precious little girl! Why would we abuse her?”Tamara glared coldly at them. “Haha…If it’s as you said, then why were you so disrespectful toward her? You even pushed such a small child!”“I…” The bodyguard wanted to defend himself, but he didn’t know what to say.After all, they had always treated Melanie badly!Four years ago, their employer brought Melanie home and ordered the nanny to take care of her. Their employer would visit the girl every month, but he had always been cold toward her.
Caleb blinked. He took out his phone and typed: “You have a wild imagination.”Thomas rolled his eyes at his brother.He felt speechless. After a moment of silence, he said, “Then how would you explain the similarity between the girl and our mommy in her younger days?”Caleb thought for a moment. “Maybe that’s just how children look like. We look the same too.”Thomas facepalmed. “The reason we look alike is that we’re blood-related siblings.”Caleb's naive yet well-sculpted face looked indifferent.Thomas groaned.“Hey kiddo, you also think that little girl is your mommy’s daughter, don’t you?” Margot was initially focused on where Tamara was going. However, when she heard what Thomas said, she turned her attention to him.Thomas’s eyes lit up. “You think so too, Aunt Margot?”Margot nodded. “Of course. I felt the same way ever since I saw the girl. I don’t believe that anyone in the world can look so similar to your mommy. Not even you two brothers look that identical to you
Mr. Miller observed the cold look on Tamara’s beautiful face. He narrowed his eyes slightly before nodding with a smile. “I’ll bring this up to my employer. Thank you for taking care of Miss Melly.”Then, he turned to Melanie. “Miss Melly, your grandfather is waiting for you outside.”Melanie walked over to Mr. Miller. She gave one last look at Tamara. “Pretty lady, remember me, alright?Tamara nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.Mr. Miller left the police station with Melanie, and Tamara soon lost sight of them. However, Tamara’s heart suddenly started aching. She had to follow them.Tamara wanted to know who Melanie’s family was. She didn’t know why Melanie’s words sounded strange to her.When Tamara exited the station, she saw a luxurious car parked nearby.Mr. Miller opened the car door, and Melanie climbed into the backseat of the car.All of a sudden, Tamara saw who was sitting inside the car.He had a mob of white hair and a wrinkled face. The person looked as indiffe
Tamara’s eyes had puffed up from how hard she was crying. After hearing Margot’s words, she was filled with a new sense of hope.“Clacton. I want to go back to Clacton now.” Tamara made up her mind. She was going to take Melanie back from the Morrison family!Margot nodded along. “Okay, I’ll go with you.”They left the police station. Both Caleb and Thomas noticed how low-spirited their mother was and made the decision to silently trail after her.Back at the hotel, Simon appeared in front of the elevator, grinning from ear to ear. “Little Mute, Caleb has to return to the Custry family.”Tamara narrowed her eyes and finally understood. Yareli must have stolen Caleb and given him to the Custry family.Anyone could easily guess what went down. Yareli had switched her daughter with the Custry family’s son.Tamara realized she hadn’t caught wind of any news about Joanne being chased out by the Custry family after all these years. Yareli probably used Caleb to strike a deal with the
Simon observed Tamara and noticed she was ignoring him. He quirked an eyebrow and leaned closer to Sebastian. Simon whispered, "Why do I have a feeling that you might mess this up if you continue with your disguise?"Sebastian growled, "Shut up!"Simon chuckled and redirected his focus to Tamara.Soon, they went through a security check and boarded the plane.They were all in business class. Margot sat with Thomas while Tamara went to find her designated seat. She looked at her ticket and realized she had a window seat. Tamara sat down once she found it.After she sat down, the other seat was taken almost instantly. Tamara looked over unconsciously and saw that it was Sebastian.Tamara's clear eyes twinkled as she giggled, "Mr. Custry. Is this…fate?"Sebastian paused. He glanced at Tamara before retracting his gaze.Tamara adjusted her seat and said nonchalantly, "I didn't know there was a mute in the Custry family. Why aren't you talking to me, Mr. Custry?"Sebastian pursed h
Joseph stared at Tamara in adoration. "Nothing is more important than my baby sister. I don't trust anyone else to fetch you."Tamara's smile was as bright as the sun. "You're the best, Joseph."Joseph huffed proudly. "You know it."His gaze landed on Margot, and his eyes lit up. "Who's this, Tammy?""This is my friend, Margot," introduced Tamara. She turned to Margot. "And this is my brother, Joseph. I have three other brothers, Jason, Jayden, and Jordan. You’ll meet them once you move in with me." Margot gave Tamara an envious look. "You have four brothers wrapped around your fingers. You're so blessed."Joseph butted in, "You’re Tammy's friend, so you’re my sister as well. I’ll spoil you like one too."The corners of Margot's mouth twitched. That seemed like an odd thing to say."Let's go, Joseph. I have some news for Grandma and Uncle Jon." Tamara noticed Joseph was about to continue and hurriedly cut him off."Alright." Joseph recollected himself and drove off. He would
