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
Thomas was very irritable as he approached Caleb. “We agreed to keep this a secret. How could you just spill the beans like that?” Caleb blinked and said, “But I don’t want to hide things from Mommy. I’m worried that she’ll get upset.” Thomas was rendered speechless.“Who is this stinky old man you’re talking about?” Tamara asked.Thomas blinked, then stuttered, “He’s... He’s Melly’s grandfather, Elijah.”Tamara nodded knowingly, then took the seat in front of the two little boys. “You’re planning to teach him a lesson? Do you think you can beat him?” Thomas immediately said, “He’s an old man! I’m sure that I can beat him in a fight!” Tamara said, “But you’re still just a kid.” Thomas’s face tensed up. “Mommy, you don’t want me to go?”“Of course I do. I’m glad you want to help me vent my anger,” Tamara immediately said, patting Thomas’ head. “But I need to ask you something. Do you think you can protect yourself and your little brother at the same time? After beating Eli
Sebastian looked at her with a skeptical gaze, and his thin lips curved into a faint smile. “I really was just checking my email. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look.”He picked up his tablet and unlocked it.Tamara looked at the tablet and then back at him. Suddenly, she burst out laughing. “I was just messing with you.”She put the tablet back down, closed her eyes, and let him blow dry her hair.The warm air caressed her hair, and his slender fingers threaded through her locks. Tamara felt so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.After he finished blow-drying her hair, Sebastian picked her up and tucked her into bed. Then, he stared at her sleeping figure. He leaned over and kissed her forehead before getting up and leaving the room.…Three days later.Jonathan, Cheryl, and Tamara came to the Custry manor together.The butler led them to the living room.Hugo and Sandy were sitting on the sofa. When they saw the three, Hugo stood up immediately. “In-laws, plea
“What? What did you say?”Hugo looked at Cheryl’s serious face, and his expression turned solemn as well. Jonathan glared at Hugo with displeasure but decided to wait until Cheryl finished speaking before acting out. “Tammy is treated like royalty in our family. We treat her like she’s a precious treasure all the time. I hope that she won’t suffer any maltreatment after she marries Sebastian. If I find out that anyone in the Custry family has given Tammy a hard time, I’ll make sure they regret it.” Cheryl spoke very seriously, and her eyes coldly swept over Sandy. Sandy didn’t say a word, but she felt like she was being targeted. Upon hearing this, Hugo immediately reassured her, “You can rest assured about this. We dote on Tammy very much. There’s no way we’ll do anything bad to her.”Cheryl scoffed. “That better be true.” “Don’t worry. I know you well enough to be wary.” Hugo smiled at Cheryl. At this moment, Jonathan suddenly cleared his throat. Then, he looked at Cher
Looking at Tamara, Sandy hesitated a little before saying, “You probably already had some idea of your mother’s relationship with Elijah. Ten years after your mother married Jacob, Elijah reappeared in Londsville. She could never get him out of her mind, so the two met. One thing led to another, and your mother got pregnant. Before she could tell Elijah about her pregnancy, Jacob had already discovered their affair. He threatened to make her have an abortion if she didn’t keep her pregnancy hidden from Elijah.” Tamara was listening intently. “Jacob actually kept the baby?”In other words, he kept her.“When I first heard about it, I was highly doubtful,” Sandy recounted, “I never expect Jacob to actually keep the baby. Perhaps, he did it out of his love for your mother and couldn’t bear to see her sad. Eventually, your mother went to bid farewell to Elijah, but unbeknownst to her, Jacob’s men tailed her. Jacob took advantage of the situation and captured Elijah, deliberately impl
