Tamara went up to Jayden and asked, “Jay, how confident are you that this proposal of yours will work?”Jayden was silent for a moment. “It will depend on the rate at which Grandma’s disease is developing.”Tamara was stunned for a moment. According to the day before and today’s calculations, Old Mrs. Moore’s disease was developing at the speed of light. It was possible that Old Mrs. Moore might not even remember who she was after tonight.Tamara could not make any decisions at the moment.At this moment, a maid walked over. “Miss Tammy, Mr. Lynch has arrived.”Tamara lifted her gaze and watched as Sebastian’s tall figure made his way inside. It had only been a short moment, but his dark-as-midnight gaze landed and locked onto her instantly.“Sebastian.”Tamara walked over and hugged him tightly.Sebastian’s broad palms encased her waist. He could feel the turmoil of emotions Tamara was experiencing and gently comforted her, “I’m right here. You don’t have to worry. Your gran
No one had expected Old Mrs. Moore to react the way she did. Upon hearing her harsh words and seeing her fierce expression, Cheryl hurriedly consoled, “Mom, Tammy and Seb have made up already. He apologized to Tammy for everything. Sandy threatened him. Sandy said she would hurt Tammy if he stuck by her. He only left her for her safety.”Old Mrs. Moore frowned as she stared at Cheryl. “Are you telling me the truth?”Cheryl nodded. “Of course. Don’t you believe me?”Old Mrs. Moore was silent for a long moment. Then, she turned toward Sebastian. “Is everything she said true?”Sebastian’s handsome and charming face arranged itself into a serious look. Then, he said in a solemn tone, “Grandma, I admit that I was useless and couldn’t do anything to protect Tammy back then. But I swear that I’ll be able to take good care of her from now on.”Old Mrs. Moore could feel how sincere he was. She glanced at the others and asked, “So it’s true, then?”Everyone nodded. Then, she turned toward
“Dewy, what are you doing here?” Jordan couldn’t help but frown upon seeing the cute young lady.Dewy was petite and had exquisite features. She had a small, round face and bright, dark eyes. At this moment, she was wearing two braids behind her ears that reached her collarbone. She wore blue overalls, a pink T-shirt, and a backpack shaped like a bear. She looked like a high schooler.She was considered pretty young as she had only just turned 18.Dewy smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Chief, I got my leave approved before coming out. It’s time for you to change your bandages.”Jordan’s frown tightened. “You left the troop just to help me change my bandages?”Dewy blinked innocently. “Chief, I’m in charge of taking care of your wound. It’s only natural that I come to you when you’re not in the army.”Jordan’s brows furrowed upon seeing the young lady’s innocent expression. When Dewy smiled, her eyes seemed to brighten, causing anyone who laid eyes on her to soften instantly.“Chief
As Joseph spoke, he moved toward Jordan’s room.“Stop right there!”Before he could take any more steps forward, Cheryl stopped him.She walked up to him and smacked his arm. “Why are you such a busybody? You just love being surrounded by drama, don’t you? If I remember correctly, a young lady sent you a gift, didn’t she? You should go out on dates with her instead of messing with Jordan’s love life.”Joseph was rendered speechless.He was merely curious. Why wouldn’t anyone let him take a peek at who Jordan’s love interest was?Cheryl dragged him back to his seat.Then, she shifted her gaze toward Jason, Jayden, Tamara, and the others. “None of you are allowed to disturb them.”Tamara smiled. “Understood. We won’t do anything to mess around with Jordan in the meantime. After all, it’s unusual for him to bring a girl home.”Cheryl’s expression warmed. “You’re the best, Tammy.”Joseph was silent.Was Cheryl indirectly implying that he was horrible?…At this moment, in Jord
Dewy swallowed nervously. Jordan’s firm, perfectly sculpted pecs were right before her eyes. They were mere inches away from her face. One small misstep, and she would find her face pressed against his chest!Dewy’s eyes seemed to glimmer. Her hand slipped. But just as she was about to make contact with Jordan’s chest, she felt a touch on her shoulder. She was lifted and moved away.“I’ll do it myself,” Jordan said in a deep tone, pushing her away and moving to take the bandage from her hands.When Dewy reacted, she blinked and exclaimed, “I can’t let you do that!”Jordan turned toward her and stared into her eyes deeply. His gaze felt a little oppressive. “Why not?”Dewy blinked, then tightened her grip on the bandages. “You don’t know how to control your strength. You need to be gentle, or you’ll hurt yourself. Just let me do it.”If Jordan bandaged himself, how on earth was Dewy going to get a taste of heaven?After all, she did not have many opportunities to be in such pro
As soon as the door swung open, a group of people tumbled over each other and landed on the floor. Fortunately, Jordan was able to sidestep the chaos and even pulled Dewy to safety beside him.Joseph was the first to fall onto the floor, followed by Jason, Tamara, Jonathan, and Cheryl. Sebastian could be seen lingering in the back as well.Jordan was rendered speechless.“What are you guys doing?”Jordan looked at them exasperatedly. He couldn’t fathom how ridiculous everyone appeared with their ears pressed up against the door from the outside.Joseph did a backflip and straightened up. Then, he dusted off some imaginary dust on his clothes and said to Cheryl, “Mom, didn’t you say Grandma was here? I don’t see her anywhere!”Jason cleared his throat. “Mom must have been mistaken. I think we should look for Grandma elsewhere.”Cheryl said, “Well, I’m getting old, after all. Maybe my eyes aren’t as sharp as they used to be.”Tamara remained silent.How was she supposed to defen
Joseph turned toward Tamara right away. “Hey, what’s that supposed to mean? You knew about that girl before any of us?”Tamara nodded. “That’s right. But I only knew her name. I have never seen her before until today. No wonder Jordan fell for her. She has such exquisite features and has an ethereal feel about her. She’s so adorable.”Jordan looked stunned. “You think she’s cute?”Tamara didn’t expect him to ask, but she nodded nonetheless. “Yes, I only saw her briefly, but I could tell from her adoring gaze that she’s into you. Jordan, don’t mess up this great opportunity.”Jordan cleared his throat, looking immensely embarrassed. However, he was quick to regain his composure and said, “We’re…”“Gosh, stop talking about how impossible having a relationship with her will be! You need to put in work and effort to make it work! After giving her a shot, I’m sure you’ll find that there’s potential in a budding relationship with her.”Tamara was quick to shoot down his reasoning and h
The entertainment industry had an abundance of individuals with scandalous behavior. In cases where someone had a so-called “wife” from the film crew, avoiding scandalous incidents relied on everyone performing their role proficiently and concealing it appropriately.However, it was too sordid.This implied that the actor’s “wife” would be replaced whenever the film crew got replaced.With that in mind, Joseph immediately shook his head. He thought it was impossible.Jason was not scummy like that.After Tamara heard Joseph rationalize everything, she also shook her head subconsciously. “Impossible.”Joseph furrowed his brows and looked curious. “Then what on earth happened? Who did he get married to? How did I get a sister-in-law without knowing anything about it?”Everyone was frowning as well.Jordan said, “Since we’re all curious, we should just ask him about it directly.”“But it’s obvious that Jason’s not keen on explaining anything to us.” Tamara frowned, then said, “Fu
