What?Tamara stopped. Ms. Thompson, on the other hand, was smiling from ear to ear. “Young Mrs. Lynch, Old Mr. Lynch is just expressing his concern for you.”Tamara felt her heart warm. She immediately shook her head in denial.She still remembered back when she first met Old Mr. Lynch. He had given her a stern look and was disappointed that she was mute.But he had changed his opinion of her.Old Mr. Lynch doubted Tamara’s denial. “I’m well aware of how Seb is as a person. You are pregnant with his child. Let me know if he ever mistreats you, and I will deal with him personally.”Tamara couldn’t believe her ears. She never thought the day would come when she would hear such heartwarming words from the emotionless Old Mr. Lynch.“Alright. You must be tired from your trip. Take some rest now. We’ll talk when Seb gets home.” Old Mr. Lynch noticed Tamara’s shock and returned to his usual calmness.Tamara immediately nodded and wrote, “Thank you, Grandpa.”Then, she went upstairs.
Old Mr. Lynch made his way to the garden.When Tamara was sure he had left, she tried to break free from Sebastian.However, Sebastian could easily keep her at bay with just a miniature of his strength.Tamara gave Sebastian a death glare. What the fuck did this ass want from her?Wasn’t the show over?“Did I say you could leave?” whispered Sebastian coldly.Tamara was taken aback by this. She pulled out her phone and typed, “What do you want?”Sebastian scanned through the text and laughed softly.Tamara widened her eyes at his laugh as her face flushed red. She struggled even harder against him.Did the man lose his mind?Didn’t he harbor great hatred for her and wanted nothing more than for her to disappear?Tamara could not figure him out. Because of this, she would do anything in her power to get away from him.Sebastian was a menace to society!Sebastian held Tamara by her waist and narrowed his eyes dangerously at her. “I said, stop moving.”Tamara pouted.She gra
Sebastian was taken aback by this. “Why haven’t I heard about this before, Grandpa?”Old Mr. Lynch huffed, “I wanted to take you by surprise.”Both Sebastian and Tamara fell silent at this.Especially Tamara. She didn’t know what caused this sudden change of heart in Old Mr. Lynch.The old man couldn’t care less about what the couple thought of him. He silently made his way to the television.Ms. Thompson prepared a room for the old man and brought him to his room.Tamara wrote to Sebastian: “What now? Grandpa still doesn’t know about our relationship.”Sebastian had a stern look as he read Tamara’s text. “We’ll talk about this later.”Then, he took his leave.Tamara sat there, confused. What did Sebastian mean by later?The longer Old Mr. Lynch stayed here, the more likely he was to find out how bad of terms they were on.They needed a plan.Tamara was clueless about Sebastian’s thoughts.As time went by, Tamara kept Old Mr. Lynch’s company by watching television with him
Tamara immediately shook her head in denial.However, the old man was not having it. He mumbled to himself, “I knew there was something fishy about this. Why would my grandson suddenly have a change of heart? He was more set in his ways than an old man like me. I know this is all an act! You can stop now!”Old Mr. Lynch’s expression soured, and he sent Tamara a glare.Tamara blinked helplessly. This was not how she pictured the night to turn out.Seeing the old man’s souring look, Tamara shook her head in denial before she reentered the room to grab Sebastian by his hand.Sebastian perched himself on the bed and cocked an eyebrow at Tamara. “What’s wrong?”There was no time for an explanation!Tamara was anxious and held tightly onto Sebastian’s hand.This got Sebastian worried. Was there something wrong with her stomach? He immediately got up from bed.Tamara led him to the door. To Sebastian’s surprise, his grandpa was standing outside with a disappointed look on his face.
Tamara wanted to die then and there.Sleeping in the same bed as Sebastian?She would rather jump off a cliff!Sebastian silently enjoyed Tamara’s nervousness before he hit the showers.With the sound of water flowing in the background, Tamara stared with a red face at the bed.She glanced at the couch and was disappointed to see how empty it was.Tamara couldn’t wrap her head around how the old man saw through their lie as a fake couple.Did Sebastian tell on her?But he was firm in his decision before, so it couldn’t be him.What was going on?…When Sebastian came back into the room, he noticed a figure on the bed.Tamara lay unmoving on the furthest side of the bed. Anyone could see how uncomfortable she was.“Weren’t you reluctant to sleep in the same bed as me?” Sebastian teased as he dried his hair.Tamara puffed up her cheeks.It wasn’t as if she had a choice.What if something happened to the baby?Tamara decided to ignore Sebastian and closed her eyes to slee
A look of terror crossed Tamara’s face. She looked so helpless under the dim light.Sebastian was like a beast. He stared into her eyes and only got off her when he noticed her tears.Tamara took in a deep breath.She didn’t miss the way Sebastian had lost control moments ago.Tamara shut her eyes to calm herself down.Just as her breathing had normalized, she sat up and prepared to leave the bed.“Where are you going?” Sebastian still had his eyes shut when he felt a shift in the bed. He quickly held onto Tamara’s arm and asked in a cold tone.Tamara tried to break free from his grip and failed for the millionth time.Tamara bit her lips, and tears welled up in her eyes.She didn’t know what overcame her.Just when the two of them were inches apart, she found herself longing for their lips to connect.Why would she have such a yearning?She should be wary of how Sebastian was acting toward her, and yet…It was a weird feeling. One that she was scared of.She must keep it
“Why is a pregnant lady like you awake this early in the morning? Go back to sleep!” Old Mr. Lynch was already outside waiting for her.Tamara quickly shut the door. She was honestly getting quite annoyed at this.She suspected the old man had been camping outside the room all night without sleep.But why would he do that?Did he find out about the agreement Tamara had with Sebastian?Amidst her confusion, she failed to notice Sebastian was done showering.A breeze of cold air hit her from behind, and Tamara snapped around. Sebastian was standing behind her with only a towel on him.Tamara widened her eyes and pointed a shaky finger at him. But then, she realized she was the one invading his privacy and immediately turned back around.Sebastian chuckled at this and stalked toward her.Tamara felt a warmth behind her and quickly took a few steps forward. Unbeknownst to her, she was playing right into Sebastian’s hand.Tamara noticed something was off and quickly spun around.
Tamara narrowed her eyes at this. Return Simmons Corporation to its former glory?Tamara sneered mockingly.Ms. Thompson came in with a dish. Tamara put down her phone and dug in.Ms. Thompson was smiling from ear to ear. “Of course, couples shouldn’t be sleeping in different rooms. Take a look at yourself. You looked much better than before.”Tamara choked on her food.Ms. Thompson hurried to say, “Chew properly, Young Mrs. Lynch.”Tamara huffed in annoyance.Ms. Thompson’s words had hit a nerve.What did Ms. Thompson even mean by she looked better after spending the night with Sebastian?She was up all night!Tamara wanted to scream, but the only thing she managed to put out was a smile on her face. She resumed her meal.Ms. Thompson could sense that Tamara did not wish to continue the conversation and cleverly kept her mouth shut.Old Mr. Lynch had come down by then. He gave Ms. Thompson a look, and she immediately walked toward him.There was some distance between the
