Tamara was rendered speechless.It was fortunate that Sebastian hadn’t gone too far. After kissing her on the cheek, he let go of her and walked into the room to play with the kids.Tamara went to unpack her luggage. After she was done, they went to eat downstairs.When Jonathan and Cheryl saw Sebastian, they were taken aback. Old Mrs. Moore was the only one who smiled at Sebastian and said, “Seb, how nice of you to come.”Sebastian smiled gently. “Hello, Grandma. I’m here to pay Tammy’s mother a visit.”“Good.”Old Mrs. Moore nodded, seemingly pleased with his behavior.After noticing how glad Old Mrs. Moore seemed, Jonathan and Cheryl decided to stay quiet.“Your cousins will arrive much later, so we don’t have to wait for them. We can just go right ahead and eat,” Cheryl said.Tamara nodded. “It’s such a shame that Joseph is not around. Otherwise, we’d be a riot.”Cheryl sighed. “I think that’d be best. Your mother might deem us too noisy if he came along.”Tamara fell si
“Grandpa,” Melly called out obsequiously, then took two steps forward subconsciously. She then paused as if she had just thought of something.Elijah’s eyes shifted toward Melanie. His heart was throbbing in his chest. The girl turned out to be his granddaughter, but he had cruelly abandoned her elsewhere and neglected to inquire about her welfare over the previous four years.Elijah leaned over and waved a hand at Melanie. “Melly, come to Grandpa.”Melanie blinked her doe eyes, then turned back to look at Tamara and Sebastian.Sebastian had a cold expression while Tamara’s brows were furrowed. Everyone else did not know what to say.They treated Melanie like a princess, after all. They would do their best to fulfill whatever request she made.However, the man before them was Elijah Morrison!He was the devil incarnate and had done so many terrible things. They should all be keeping their distance from him.However, it was only natural for Melanie to have formed a familial bond
Elijah was taken aback. Then, he nodded. “You’re right. We’re practically strangers. I…”“Mr. Morrison, if you have nothing constructive to say, I’d like to excuse myself now.”Tamara did not want to spend another second in Elijah’s presence. She turned to leave.“Tamara.”Elijah called out her name. “About what happened all those years ago…”Tamara stopped walking, then turned toward him. “Speaking of which, after trying to have me killed over the years, you still haven’t given me valid answers to my queries. Are you able to provide me with the answers I seek now?”Elijah had paled significantly, making him look like he had aged several decades. “Yes…”Everyone left the cemetery together. Tamara and Elijah sat across from each other in a café beneath the Sambia Hotel.Elijah looked really cautious. He gazed at Tamara imploringly and did not seem at all arrogant or belittling like he did before.Tamara’s expression remained cold. She looked at Elijah without a hint of warmth
Jayden shot her a faint smile and said, “I’m heading to the supermarket for something.”Tamara nodded. “Alright, take care. I’m going to head upstairs.”Jayden walked up to her and asked, “Did he do anything to you?”It was clear that Jayden was referring to Elijah.Tamara shook her head. “No.”When Jayden noticed how glum she looked, he reached out and patted her head. “Don’t worry. I’m sure everything will pan out soon.”Tamara nodded. “Thanks, Jay.”Jayden’s smile grew warmer. “Don’t sweat it. You’re the princess in our household, after all. All we want is for you to be happy.”Tamara nodded, then smiled. After that, she made her way toward Sambia Hotel.Jayden watched as Tamara disappeared from view. When he retracted his gaze, his expression grew cold.His gaze had shifted to the hotel across the street. He caught a glimpse of a woman’s beautiful figure and the way she tightened her grip on the luggage. For a brief moment, the two locked gazes. Jayden’s eyes, hidden behi
Ms. Thompson dashed over, her eyes wide with surprise as she looked at Sebastian and Tamara. Then, she shifted her gaze downwards and saw the three little children standing around them.Thomas and Caleb had identical features. Ms. Thompson noticed that their eyes resembled Sebastian’s.“Are these…your children?” Ms. Thompson asked with a grin.Tamara nodded. “Ms. Thompson, long time no see. These are our children, Thomas, Caleb, and Melanie.”It had been four years. Ms. Thompson’s hair had turned grey, and her face had more wrinkles. However, she still kept vigil over the villa. She believed that Sebastian and Tamara would return one day.Upon hearing that, Ms. Thompson looked ecstatic. “Oh, that sounds so lovely! The five of you have finally been reunited! I’m so happy for you!”Tamara patted her kids on their heads, then said, “Say hi to Ms. Thompson.”“Hi, Ms. Thompson!”The kids greeted her in unison. Their sweet voices made Ms. Thompson grin.“Gosh, they’re so cute. Come
“Tammy…”Margot’s panicked voice could be heard through the phone. It sounded as if she had just finished a marathon.“Margot? What’s wrong?” Tamara instantly grew alert and tried to discern the background noise.“Tammy, I found a way to remove the cursed bug. I’m trying to find a way back home now. Can you arrange for someone to come get me from Biarus?” Margot asked anxiously.Tamara answered, “Sure, that won’t be a problem. I’ll get my men to fetch you right away.”Margot said, “I’m really sorry, Tammy. I need to come clean with you about something.”With that, the chaotic background noise started up. Tamara began to worry, but just as she was about to speak, the call had already been disconnected.Why did Margot apologize to her?What on earth happened?Tamara turned to her side and saw that Sebastian was awake. “Sebastian, let’s go to Biarus now!”Sebastian furrowed his brows. “What happened?”Tamara grabbed her clothes and put them on. “Margot seems to have found a cur
Tamara hurriedly said, “Bring me to her right now.”The bodyguard nodded, then led Tamara and Sebastian to the cargo ship. They noticed an unconscious Margot being carried out by a few people.Tamara’s eyes widened. She hurried over and called out, “Margot? Margot?”Margot did not react at all.Tamara started to panic. “Quick, send her to the hospital!”The bodyguards lifted the stretcher and placed Margot into a vehicle cautiously.In the hospital.The operating room’s lights were on. Tamara stood outside uneasily and couldn’t help herself from feeling anxious.When Sebastian walked over and saw how Tamara looked, he hugged her and said, “Don’t worry. I managed to get some details about her condition. She only suffered minor physical injuries.”Tamara was still anxious. “Then why isn’t she out yet?”Sebastian made her sit on the chair next to him. “Just trust me, okay? Everything will be fine.”Tamara shut her eyes and tried to calm down.Sebastian recounted the bodyguard’
Margot sobbed her heart out. With tears streaming down her cheeks, she found it difficult to say anything to Tamara.Inwardly, Tamara was incredibly anxious. However, she didn’t rush Margot. Her friend had just woken up, after all. As such, she was probably still feeling out of sorts.Biarus was filled with unknown dangers. No one knew what horrors Margot and Joseph had experienced there.This time, Margot had returned alone.Tamara had a bad feeling about what happened but quickly dismissed it.She refused to think about it.Tamara maintained her composure, helped Margot sit up properly, and then poured her a glass of water. After seeing that Margot had calmed down, she asked, “Margot, what did you mean by that?”Margot held the glass of water with both hands. Upon hearing that, her long eyelashes fluttered, and her expression instantly filled with guilt and sorrow. “Tammy, Young Mr. Moore…got captured.”Tamara was taken aback. “How did that happen? Weren’t you guys together t
