As the night went on, Tamara’s mind drifted. She was initially watching over Melanie. However, images of Sebastian started floating around her mind.They hadn’t met in four years, and here he was playing hide and seek with her!Did he find this romantic?Tamara found him lame. Scratch that! She was angry!Did Sebastian know how the past four years had been for her?When he gave her the divorce papers and left for Clacton to inherit his family business, had he ever thought about her?Why the hell did he think he could just waltz right back into her life after four years?That asshole!Tamara bit her nails as her tears fell uncontrollably. She was filled to the brim with anger and hatred.She knew Sebastian was right outside the ward, but she didn’t want to meet him!Tamara shut her eyes and recollected herself. A lot happened today. She had to slowly unpack and digest everything.The next morning.“Mommy…” A soft and childish voice sounded. Tamara’s eyes snapped open, and sh
“What the fuck is wrong with you, Sebastian?” Tamara’s clear eyes glowed red in anger.Her breathing grew heavy. “Do you think I’ll forgive you just because you apologized? Not a chance!”Tamara was yelling furiously. She jumped off the table and headed for the door.However, when she reached for the door handle, a force pulled her back and she stumbled into a warm embrace.“Tammy.” A husky voice breathed into her ear. Tamara shut her eyes. “Let me go, Sebastian.”“I know my apology doesn’t mean jack shit. But I won’t give up. You can push me away all you want, but I’ll always be right behind you. Tammy, I love you,” confessed Sebastian in a husky voice. He was afraid Tamara would grow angrier if he did not speak now.Tamara was fed up with his sweet nothings. She forced her way out of his embrace and left the meeting room.Sebastian shut his eyes in defeat. He laughed deprecatingly at himself. He was such a fool!…In the afternoon.Tamara was conversing with Melanie when
Tamara turned around unconsciously and saw the two guards on the floor. They were doubling over in pain. On the other hand, Sebastian was straightening his crumpled shirt. When he saw her looking over, his lips curled into a smirk. His dark eyes held a certain gentleness as he stared at her.“I was only being respectful to the Moore family, Tammy. These two are not enough to hold me back,” grinned Sebastian cheekily.Tamara gave him a blank stare.Annoyance painted her beautiful face, and she glared at him with her clear eyes. “What are you doing, Sebastian?”Although her tone was cold, it still sounded melodious to Sebastian.Sebastian stalked closer to Tamara, his slender and tall figure quickly enveloping her petite frame. He lowered his gaze to her tenderly. “You can’t stop me from pursuing you.”Tamara sneered at how shameless he was being. In fact, he was even more shameless compared to four years ago!Tamara pointed at the two guards and huffed coldly. “You hurt my guards
The operation took place three days later.Jonathan, Cheryl, Jason, Jayden, Jordan, and Joseph all arrived at the hospital. The family waited outside the operating room anxiously.Thomas was still in school. When Sebastian came over, he was stopped by the guards.Instead of just two guards, there were 20 guards this time.Sebastian sighed helplessly at this.In fact, 20 guards were not enough to stop him, but he didn’t want to cause a commotion.Thus, Sebastian chose to wait outside the hospital quietly.A breeze blew past him, and the scene looked somewhat bleak.Not far from him was a parked luxurious car.The window rolled down to reveal a furious Joanne whose gaze was fixed on Sebastian’s figure.She loved him with all her heart, but it didn’t faze him one bit. Yet here he was standing outside the hospital after getting stopped by the guards!He was the president of Custry Corporation!How could he be treated like some loser?Joanne retracted her gaze, and a dark look
Jason, Jayden, and Jordan looked over.Jordan furrowed his eyebrows and sneered at Sebastian. “You’re Sebastian? The bastard who left Tammy?”Jayden chuckled. “No need for harsh words, Jordan. We just have to beat him to death.”Jason narrowed his eyes dangerously. “I’ve been itching for a fight recently. How I wish I can go back to Moore Corporation and take over the entire Custry Corporation. I’ll make sure to make this bastard homeless.”Sebastian stared at them coolly.His murderous intent was enough to send shivers down one spine.The four brothers were not people Sebastian could raise his fist against.Sebastian sighed helplessly. “Jason, Jayden, Jordan, Joseph, it’s my fault for abandoning Tammy back then. I apologize.”“Please don’t get chummy with us. We have nothing to do with you,” said Joseph with a huff.Jordan stalked closer with a dark look on his face. “I heard you’re good with your fists?”Jordan was a high-ranking officer and a good fighter, yet he was surpr
When Tamara saw this, the corners of her mouth twitched.“What is this, Uncle Jon?” Tamara sighed helplessly at her uncle.Jonathan chuckled. “It’s to celebrate you and Melly being discharged from the hospital. Of course, we have to make it a little more festive than normal.”Tamara sighed again. She held Melanie’s hand and led her to the limousine.The long queue of vehicles left the hospital, and the place returned to its peaceful state.“Hello, Grandma Moore!” Melanie greeted politely after she entered the Moore manor.Old Mrs. Moore observed the beautiful girl and exclaimed dreamily, “You look just like Tammy’s mom, Melly.”Tamara paused before giggling at this.That was true. Melly did look identical to her mother. Tamara would even go as far as to say Melanie looked more identical to her mother than she did.Tamara believed if her mother ever met Melanie, she would adore the little girl.“Melly!” Thomas chirped excitedly. He flew over and gave Melanie a bear hug. He eve
Tamara’s crystal clear eyes widened slightly as she hurried over. “James?”James was wearing a black windbreaker and looked as if he had lost a bunch of weight. However, he was still sporting his usual gentle smile. His eyes seemed to smile as he looked at her.“Tamara, long time no see.”Tamara pulled the door open and took a closer look at the man.It really had been ages since they last saw each other.She hadn’t seen him since what happened four years ago. Furthermore, the man seemed to have disappeared into thin air at that point. She had heard no news about him.James said softly, “I’d like to apologize for what happened all those years ago. I got close to you for an ulterior motive and even purposely put your life on the line. I’m really sorry.”Tamara suddenly smiled. “But if it hadn’t been for you, I would’ve died a long time ago.”Hearing that, James broke out into a grin. “So does that mean you’ve forgiven me?”Tamara smiled brightly at that. “I think we’ve evened t
After Tamara finished speaking, she spun on her heel and strode into the villa.Sebastian remained frozen. He trailed after her after snapping back to his senses. “Tammy?”However, Tamara was determined to ignore him and sped up.Sebastian sighed helplessly.It appeared that it’d take a long while to get Tamara back.…Once Tamara was inside, she told everyone that the visitor wasn’t Elijah. Sighs of relief echoed in the room.“Alright, let’s dig in. Who even cares, right? No one will be able to threaten our dear Tammy now,” Cheryl said.“That’s right.”Everyone agreed.The atmosphere in the dining room livened up.When it was evening, Margot called Tamara, who was playing with some toys with Melanie.“Tammy, I’m so upset! I got fucking cheated on!” Margot slurred out the words. It was evident that she had been drinking. She sounded choked up from the anger and hatred she was feeling.Tamara was stunned. “What happened? Where are you now?”Margot hiccuped. “I…I’m in Joker
