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
She would not pick up a call from a stranger at that moment.However, as soon as she ended the call, the person called again.Tamara frowned and answered with annoyance, “Hello, who’s this?”“It’s me, Miss Moore.”A familiar voice came from the other end of the call instead.It was Anthony.Tamara was stunned. She pursed her lips and said nothing.Anthony’s breathing sounded a little heavy. After a while, he said, “Can you help me? I’m at 1999. Something’s happened to Helena.”Tamara became nervous when she heard that. “What happened to Helena?”Anthony said, “Miss Custry was hanging out with her friends at 1999, but she was set up. I’m occupied, and I can’t go over right now.”“I’ll head over there now.”Tamara immediately hung up the call as soon as she said that.A dejected look suddenly appeared on Anthony’s face, but it disappeared as quickly. More than ten men had surrounded him, and his gaze became sharp as he looked at them.After Tamara arrived at 1999 in a rush,
“Thank you, Miss Moore.”Tamara glanced at Anthony indifferently, then said to Helena, “Have a good rest. You’ll recover tomorrow.”“Mm-hmm. I got it. Thank you, Tamara.” Helena nodded.She blinked and looked at Anthony and Tamara. Then, she suddenly said, “Anthony, help me see Tamara off. I’m too weak to walk.”“Mm-hmm,” Anthony hummed with a nod, then followed Tamara out of the room.When Tamara got to the elevator landing, she sent a message to Sebastian, telling him that she would be returning soon.At that moment, the elevator door opened.Tamara entered, but when she turned around, she saw Anthony standing there, not moving.Tamara blinked and said, “Take good care of Helena.”Right at that moment, Anthony suddenly dropped to his knees in front of her.Tamara was stunned, but she said nothing.“Miss Moore, I know I was wrong.” With his eyes downcast, Anthony apologized to her sincerely.Tamara still said nothing.As the moments stretched on, Anthony’s anticipation tu
Tamara felt tired as she nestled in Sebastian’s arms. She could hear his strong heartbeat. Her mind, which was in a mess, gradually became at peace.Sebastian was right.She would not forgive Anthony.Anthony brought the pain onto himself. If he did not betray her, how could he be in pain?Tamara calmed down, so she did not continue thinking about this anymore. Previously, Anthony was an integral part of Tamara’s life that she could never imagine losing. However, since he had caused her pain, she had resolved to endure the anguish and cut him out of her life. Even if the process were excruciatingly painful, she would not care.…As usual, she went to visit Margot at the hospital.Every day, Margot would briefly wake up and stare expressionlessly at the ceiling before slowly closing her eyes again.When Tamara arrived, she happened to be looking blankly at the ceiling with her eyes widened.Tamara felt a little helpless. “I really don’t know what’s happened to you. It’s very
Tamara immediately reached out and pinched his waist. “What are you thinking about?”It did not feel painful for Sebastian. The strength she used just felt like a tickle to him. He wrapped his sturdy arms around her slender waist and said softly, “Have you thought it through? Eloping is not going to be any easier than having a wedding in Clacton.”Tamara pressed her face against his chest and said lazily, “This is just the idea I’m having now. I might change my mind when I wake up tomorrow.”Sebastian did not say anything. He just hugged her. However, he gradually became unsatisfied with just hugging her.He gently toyed with her delicate earlobe as he tenderly touched her face, his hand exuding an undeniable allure. As he did so, his gaze grew deeper and deeper.Tamara shuddered and quickly pushed him away. “What are you doing? Aren’t you working?”Sebastian’s breathing became heavy. “I knew you were coming, so I canceled my morning schedules.”Tamara was speechless.How could
While she happily paid with the card, Sebastian’s phone buzzed without stopping as he sat in the huge conference room.Jerome was sitting closest to Sebastian, and he was also the person who heard it most clearly. He couldn’t help but glance at Sebastian’s phone, which incessantly buzzed with incoming messages.Jerome was very curious.What exactly were those texts? The person kept sending one after another. Did he not feel tired?Jerome’s gaze immediately fell on Sebastian. Despite his usual dignified, cold, and arrogant attitude, Sebastian now sported a faint smile and occasionally glanced at his phone before refocusing on the presentation with rapt attention.After the conference ended, Sebastian remained at the head of the table without any intention of leaving. He grabbed his phone and glanced at the texts calmly. His dark gaze looked very doting.Then, he looked at Jerome. “How much is the limit to my card?”Jerome was stunned. He was very curious why Sebastian would ask s
