Thomas was going to scream.He had just been insulted by Caleb.Thomas grumpily went to bed and ignored Caleb.Caleb smiled and looked at Thomas. Then, he said, “Thomas, don’t be angry. Why don’t we play Dawn of Kings together?”“You have to promise that we’ll win!” Thomas set a condition directly.“No problem.” Caleb nodded.“Deal!”…Tamara was not privy to the little boys’ little quarrel. She searched through her phone and found Simon’s contact. Then, she tapped on it and sent him a message.Tamara: “Are you there?”She received a response almost right away.Simon: “What’s going on, Little Mute? I didn’t think you’d seek me out.”Tamara: “Do you know Camilla?”Simon: “Why? Do you know her too?”Tamara: “How about we meet tomorrow? I think it’d be best if we talked about this in person.”Simon: “No problem.”…Tamara put away her phone and went upstairs to the study.She heard voices inside, so she didn’t bother to interrupt anything.After showering, she wrapped h
The next morning. Tamara drove to the café and saw that Simon had already arrived. She took a seat at his table.“How do you know Camilla?” Simon asked right away as soon as she sat down. He glared at her without his usual casual smile. Tamara turned toward the waiter and said, “A glass of water, please.” “Okay, please wait a moment.” The waiter turned and left. Tamara then looked at Simon and said slowly, “Camilla is my soon-to-be sister-in-law.” “What did you say?” Simon thought he was hallucinating. “Camilla is Tamara’s soon-to-be sister-in-law?” he thought to himself, “Her cousin is Jayden Moore. Are Camilla and Jayden together? Isn’t Jayden Camilla’s mentor? How is that even possible?”Seeing the shock on his face, Tamara couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Dashner, do you fancy Camilla?” At her words, Simon’s face darkened. “How could I fancy someone like her? I only wanted to find her because she didn’t keep her promise to me. I just want to settle the score with her.”
Tamara left the café and got into her car. Then, she headed straight to the hospital. She had gotten used to visiting the hospital every day.Since the last time she hypnotized Margot, Margot would occasionally open her eyes, but they were lifeless and dull, indicating that she hadn’t really woken up.Tamara sliced an apple and talked about recent events while seated by her bedside, only to notice that it was already dusk when she was done. She put down the knife and looked at the apple with a bitter smile. “I’ve cut up some apple slices for you. Since you won’t be eating them anytime soon, I’ll have them myself. I’ll visit you again tomorrow.”After eating the apple slices, Tamara left the hospital room. She didn’t notice that a tear had formed in the corner of Margot’s eye after she left....Back at Cesterfield Villa, Tamara parked her car in the underground garage and took the elevator.When she came out of the elevator, she saw Hugo and Sandy in the living room.She won
The family was seated at the dining table.Sandy’s sour expression finally eased a bit when she saw the three little ones sitting with them.“Thomas, Caleb, Melly, here’s a little something I’ve prepared for you. Take them.”Sandy took out three envelopes from her bag and handed one each to the kids.“Thank you, Grandma,” Caleb said, taking the envelope with a shy smile.Thomas blinked and looked at Tamara. Seeing Tamara nod, he also accepted the envelope.Melanie followed suit.“Thank you, Grandma,” she said.Sandy’s smile grew even wider when she saw that all three kids had accepted her gift. The atmosphere at the dining table also eased up a lot.After dinner, Hugo and Sandy left, having agreed to meet with Jonathan and Cheryl later.Tamara went and video-called Jonathan.“Oh? Has that woman finally settled down?” Jonathan snorted when he heard Tamara’s description.Tamara replied calmly, “What else can she do if she doesn’t settle down? If she goes insane again, she won
Tamara pushed him away, startled. “What are you doing? I just wanted you to look at my collarbones!”Sebastian’s dark eyes were deep and mysterious, and he replied cryptically, “I couldn’t see how beautiful they were when they were covered up. I just couldn’t help myself now that I can see them.”Tamara smiled slyly. “You just wanted to take advantage of me.”It wasn’t like Tamara didn’t know what dirty thoughts Sebastian had been thinking.Sebastian held her in his arms and kissed her collarbone, saying, “Yes, you’re right.”Tamara nestled into his arms like a little kitten. After a short while, she said, “That’s all I have on my mind for our wedding at the moment. I’ll tell you more when I think of anything later.”“Okay.” Sebastian nodded.He carried her up and put her on the bed.He was almost obsessed with kissing her collarbone and was just about to tear her clothes off when there was a knock on the door.Sebastian’s face darkened. “Who is it?”“Daddy, it’s me,” came Me
“Melly, what’s wrong?” Tamara was eating her oatmeal. When she saw how serious Melly looked, she paused.“Mommy, there’s something I want to tell you. I don’t want to hide it from you anymore because I think it’s wrong to lie,” Melanie said very seriously, with a look of guilt on her face.Sebastian glanced at her for a moment and continued eating.Thomas and Caleb exchanged looks, and Thomas immediately said, “Melly, wait until we finish eating before you tell us. Mommy is still not done with breakfast yet.”Melanie hesitated for a moment.Tamara smiled and said, “It’s okay, Melly. Just say what you want to say. Mommy has already finished eating.”Thomas covered his face in exasperation, and Caleb whispered to him, “I knew this would happen.”Thomas was surprised and asked, “You already knew?”Caleb nodded and said, “Let’s see what Melly has to say.”Melanie gathered her courage and said, “Mommy, I’m sorry. Daddy and I lied to you. Every time I said that Daddy would take me o
Of course, that was a story for another time.…Tamara held Melanie’s hand as they strolled through the community park. Melanie was dressed in a pink princess dress. Anyone who saw her delicate and lovely face couldn’t help but compliment her. Tamara smiled as she walked with her daughter. Then, when they walked up to a bench in the park, she said, “You can go play over there. I’ll wait for you here.”“Okay.” Melanie nodded and went to do just that.The park had complete facilities, including a swimming pool, tree-lined rockeries, and a manmade lake. A natural scenic area was across the villa. People could run and exercise around the lake every day.The lake was behind Tamara, and the sun was now setting, casting a brilliant glow on the water’s surface, making her look really beautiful.“Hello, beautiful, we meet again.” Just then, a voice suddenly sounded next to Tamara.Tamara turned instinctively and saw a man who looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t remember who h
Tamara was rendered speechless.“Are you interested in my mommy?”At this moment, Melanie walked over and looked up at Randy with big, adorable eyes. Randy immediately leaned down, nodded, and said, “Yes, I really like her. I want to be friends with your mommy. Can you tell me what her name is? I’ll reward you with sweets.”Melanie said in a soft and cute voice, “But Mommy already has Daddy.”“What?”Randy’s smile instantly fell.When he found out Tamara had a child, he was already disappointed. He later considered the possibility that she was divorced and raising the child by herself as a single mother. Even if she were, he decided that he wouldn’t mind. After all, she was so beautiful, and Randy would treat her right.After mustering up his courage, he approached Tamara with the intention of striking up a conversation. He did not expect the little girl’s words to hit him like lightning. The girl said that she had a daddy.That meant that the beautiful woman had a husban
