Tamara glanced at Sebastian curiously. “We’re getting our dinner here?”Sebastian put an arm around her shoulders. “I’ve been told that the chef here is pretty famous. I wanted to bring you here to try the food.”Tamara was rendered speechless.How certain was Sebastian that their lives wouldn’t be at risk so high up?When he saw the dumbfounded expression on her face, he chuckled deeply. “Don’t worry. It will be safe.”Tamara wanted to say something but didn’t know how to do so.Sebastian urged her toward the restaurant and onto an elevator. The elevator was made of transparent glass, so the scenery outside was visible from the inside.As the elevator rose, their field of vision grew.Tamara subconsciously burrowed herself into Sebastian’s embrace. “Are you sure it will be fine?”Sebastian leaned over and kissed her cheek. “Don’t worry. I’m here, aren’t I?”Tamara’s eyelashes fluttered. It wasn’t that she didn’t appreciate the romantic gesture. Sebastian’s presence would mak
“No, I don’t want to stop. I will never want to stop.”Tamara’s eyelashes fluttered, then she let out a loud laugh. “Alright. You can do as you please.”Sebastian flicked her nose playfully, then went back to his seat.They enjoyed the beautiful night scenery while eating. After they were done, they made their way back to the hotel.Tamara had meant to video call the kids, but Sebastian had swept her off her feet upon entering the room.Before she could utter a word of protest, Sebastian had thrown her onto the bed.…Tamara struggled to open her eyes the next day. She was exhausted to the bone and wished she could sleep forever. She extended her hand and felt around, only to discover the empty space next to her. Even the sheets were cold.Her eyes widened. At this moment, her phone rang.Tamara hurriedly checked her phone and saw that Sebastian was calling her. She answered, “Hello. Sebastian?”“Yeah, it’s me. I’m in a meeting right now. Lunch has been set out on the table.
Tamara lifted her gaze and watched Sebastian’s tall figure leave the room. He was looking straight at her.“All done?”Tamara looked elated. She got up and rushed up to him.Sebastian curved an arm around her thin waist, then fiercely kissed her lips. Then, he looked up at Jervis and said, “Jervis, she’s my wife.”Tamara looked a little dumbfounded. What was happening?Jervis got up and walked over. The smile on his face seemed to widen. “Oh, I didn’t know she’s your wife. She looks really young. I could’ve sworn that she was single.”Sebastian furrowed his brows, and a cold, hostile aura seemed to radiate off his body. “Jervis, don’t get any weird ideas in your head. Even if she’s single, you’re not allowed anywhere near her! Otherwise, I’m calling off our collaboration.”Tamara suddenly realized the tension in the air. From their conversation, she discerned that Jervis had probably approached her on purpose and planned to pick her up just moments ago!That shocked her greatly
Tamara’s eyes widened. “What’s wrong?”“I feel ill.” Sebastian’s deep voice rang out. “I don’t know why, but every part of me hurts.”Tamara was instantly wide awake. She rushed up, forgetting to put on her shoes. “Hang in there, Sebastian. I’m on my way to you right now. Can you please open the door for me?”“Yes…” Sebastian said with difficulty. When Tamara heard his voice, it sounded as if the man was on the verge of dying.She started getting anxious and rushed next door.“Sebastian, I’m outside. Open the door. Let me take a look at you.” Tamara tightened the grip on her phone as beads of sweat formed on her forehead.“Okay.”Sebastian hung up the call after that.A moment later, the door was pulled open. Tamara hurried inside and saw how pale Sebastian had gotten. She walked him to the sofa. “How are you feeling right now?”Sebastian’s brows furrowed tightly. “Not good.”Tamara grabbed his arm and took his pulse. She found that his heart was beating erratically, and he s
“Hello?”It was a call from Margot. Tamara picked up the phone call without any hesitation.“Tammy, I’m heading back to Londsville.”Through the phone, Margot’s voice was tinged with exhaustion. It sounded as if she had been through a lot.Tamara was taken aback and inquired, “Why so abrupt? Didn’t you swear you’d expand 1999’s business all the way to Clacton?”Margot smiled. “What do you know? Benjamin and Kayla are getting married soon. Why should I even be in Clacton anymore? To make a fool out of myself?”Tamara’s brows furrowed. “They’re getting married? Really?”When they ran into Benjamin and Kayla at Joker’s Clubhouse that day, even though they had been intimate with each other, it was clear that Kayla had been the one to initiate everything.Tamara had even purposefully humiliated him in public, but the man did not appear to react at all.Tamara deduced that Benjamin must have been willing to accept it as punishment.However, that was not the case now.Benjamin and
Sebastian noticed Tamara’s exasperation and chuckled lowly, “What’s wrong?”Tamara pressed her lips together. “I don’t think the information you just provided me with was all that insightful. I could have just as easily asked one of Benjamin’s friends. I’m sure I’d get the same answers.”Sebastian smiled charmingly. “He’s not very interesting. If you’re looking for drama, I don’t think he’s the right person to focus on.”Sebastian and Benjamin met in high school. At the time, Sebastian had been a lone wolf, yet Benjamin would always be around to pester him.After that, they even went to the same college. Their friendship progressed further after that. Unless it was something directly related to him, Sebastian never paid Benjamin’s affairs any mind.He only knew about Benjamin and Kayla being together because Benjamin talked his ear off about it multiple times.Tamara sighed helplessly. “Benjamin’s going to marry Kayla soon. Why do you suppose so many scumbags exist in this world?
Everyone turned to look at Jonathan.Jonathan glared coldly at Sebastian. “Do you think our family needs charity from you?”Cheryl cocked a brow but remained quiet otherwise. She even took a seat next to her husband.Old Mrs. Moore was still sporting a wide grin. She knew what her son was doing. It was clear that Jonathan wanted to stir up some trouble for Sebastian.Jason was reading a script. When he heard Jonathan speak, he looked up at his father, then exchanged an exasperated glance with Jayden.Jordan wore a hostile expression and remained silent.Joseph did not even seem bothered by what was happening. All he could think about was Margot. Why on earth did she leave?The living room instantly fell tense.Tamara unconsciously clutched Sebastian’s clothes. She thought about ways to deal with her uncle.Sebastian looked over and shot her a steady, secure look.Then, he turned toward Jonathan. “I just meant to express my sincerity with these gifts. I didn’t mean to offend a
Tamara was rendered speechless.Sebastian and Jordan were quick to return. Their clothes looked slightly wrinkled but did not look overtly messed up.After getting inside, Jordan silently went into his room.Jason snorted a laugh, “He must have lost again.”Jayden smiled wordlessly.Joseph suddenly got up. “I want to take a trip to Londsville.”Cheryl frowned. “What are you going to do there?”Joseph spun on his heel and rushed up the stairs to pack a bag. “Mom, I’m going to get you a new daughter-in-law!”Cheryl rolled her eyes but remained silent.Tamara was going to warn him against it. She knew what Joseph planned on doing once he reached Londsville, and it would be of no use.Joseph held onto the railing and turned toward Tamara. “Tammy, I’ll be sure to bring your best friend back here!”Tamara didn’t know how to respond.Clearly, he knew what she was about to say, so he was trying to beat her to everything.Tamara was exasperated, but after he said that, she found th
