It was noon, so the cafeteria was bustling with people coming and going.All the staff were caught off guard by Sebastian’s unexpected appearance, causing the bustling atmosphere to fall silent as soon as he walked in.Everyone gave Sebastian a wary look as he walked through the door. They were startled at first, but soon they started whispering amongst themselves.“Why is the president here in the cafeteria?”“Beats me. I suddenly don’t dare to eat anymore now that I’ve seen the president. What’s the matter with me?”“That’s because you are traumatized. You didn’t complete your report properly last week and were reprimanded by him. If you’re not traumatized, then you must be a very forgiving person.”The person was speechless.Tamara took in the surroundings, then went to Sebastian’s side and said with a smile, “It looks like you have quite an influence on your staff. They’ve been traumatized by you.”Sebastian glanced at her calmly. “What would you like to have?”Tamara scan
“Go to hell, bitch!”An extremely resentful voice followed by the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard!Tamara felt that even the wind had become harsh. She turned around and saw a woman throwing a bottle of liquid at her face!A term subconsciously popped into her head—sulfuric acid!The woman was going to throw sulfuric acid at her!Tamara’s expression darkened as she swiftly responded to the situation at hand. Without delay, she kicked the woman’s stomach, causing her to instantly fall to the ground and roll a few times before coming to a stop.The bottle in the woman’s hand fell to the ground, and the liquid in the plastic bottle spilled out. However, nothing happened to the ground.Also, how could she possibly use a plastic bottle to contain sulfuric acid?Tamara’s expression became colder. How dare this woman pull a trick on her!The cap and the mask on that woman looked utterly familiar to Tamara. It suddenly dawned on Tamara that she was the very same woman who ha
Tamara looked at him in a daze.Sebastian hugged her slender frame, his deep, husky voice extraordinarily gentle. “If she were a person who could be satisfied, she would have left with the compensation. It was enough for her to live comfortably for two lifetimes. However, she was greedy and yearned for things she couldn’t have. So, you need not pity her or feel guilty about this. It has nothing to do with you.”Tamara blinked. At a glance, she could see the endless tenderness hidden deep inside Sebastian’s eyes that seemed bottomless, and all of that was for her. Tamara felt touched, and all her tumultuous thoughts dissipated into the ether.“Mm-hmm. You are right. Roxy brought it upon herself.”Sebastian stroked her back and said, “Do you want to head home?”“Mm-hmm.”Tamara nodded while nestling in his arms.Sebastian personally drove Tamara back to Cesterfield Cove. When they entered the neighborhood, a hunched figure flashed by.Tamara felt that the figure looked very fam
Tamara smiled lazily like a bewitching fox. “Really?”Sebastian looked at her. “What’s the matter? Do you want to have another child?”Tamara’s face flushed, and she immediately said, “I don’t want to. I’ve had triplets the first time I got pregnant, and that’s enough.”“Mm-hmm. Let’s not have any more children then.”Sebastian kissed her lips and said, “Do you still want to continue sleeping?”Tamara shook her head. “I’m hungry. Make dinner for me.”“Alright.”Sebastian nodded. He took his jacket off and went downstairs to make dinner.Tamara rolled around in bed lazily. She thought of Sebastian’s calm expression. She could tell from his expression that he was a little disappointed.He probably still wanted to have another child.Lost in thought, Tamara wondered if they should have more. However, they already had three children.Tamara was torn.“Hold on. Three children!” she suddenly thought.Tamara suddenly got up from the bed. She immediately went downstairs and jumped
Joseph gave a lazy smile. His eyes landed on his phone. Kimberly had just sent him a text.It was a long text, but Joseph didn’t bother to reply.There wasn’t a need to.Joseph kept his phone and got up to leave the manor.…Once they had decided on the kind of wedding they wanted, they started picking a suitable date.The Custry family and the Moore family had another meet-up to discuss this. However, Sandy and Cheryl were the only ones involved this time.Jonathan still felt petty about Cheryl, and Sandy didn’t want to see Hugo’s face.Tamara and Sebastian were also absent as they left the decision to the elders.It was as if they were only guests at the wedding instead of the stars of the show.They were quite a troublesome couple.After a few days, Sandy called the couple up again. She informed the two that the wedding would be held in two months. The weather then should be fine too, neither too hot nor too cold.Tamara and Sebastian had no objections.With that, the
Tamara stared at the folder in Elijah’s hand blankly.Elijah forced a smile on his wrinkled face. “Tammy, I know I have done many unforgivable things to you. Still, I hope you will accept this.”Tamara’s face was void of any emotions. Under her cold glance, Elijah felt himself trembling uncontrollably.Elijah had been at the top of Clacton’s social ladder for many years. Everyone who came across him had to show their respect. Yet now, he was in this pitiful predicament.It was all because of his despicable past actions.He had plotted against his own daughter and even almost killed her and her children.Elijah was remorseful. He knew he didn’t deserve Tamara’s forgiveness. All he wished was for her to accept his wedding gift.As he was about to give up, Tamara suddenly muttered, “I have a question.”Elijah’s eyes lit up. “What is it? I will answer you as best as I can.”“Have you ever hesitated when you decided to plot against my mother with them?” Tamara was privy to the even
Jonathan narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean, Tammy? Do you plan on staying here until the wedding? No, we can’t allow that. You have to come home with me. You’re going to marry into the Custry family soon. We have to spend whatever little time remaining together.”Tamara gave him a blank look. “Uncle Jon, it’s not like I’ll be leaving for good. I’ll still be in Clacton after the wedding.”Jonathan huffed stubbornly, “I won’t allow it.”He then turned to his two sons. “Go and look for the kids. I’ll be going home with Tammy first.”Judging from how nervous Jonathan looked, one might think this was their last chance at leaving.Tamara couldn’t help but giggle at the sight. “Alright, I’ll go home with you. Let me just call Sebastian first.”“No.” Jonathan looked on edge. “If you call him, he might not let you go.”Tamara sighed, “You look like you want to call off the wedding, Uncle Jon.”“Of course not!” yelled Jonathan. “I can’t wait for the wedding.”“Then why won’t you let
Tamara put the folder away. She didn’t want to look inside, but she felt it must be important if Elijah thought of using it to earn her forgiveness.Jayden and Joseph were sitting on the side. They shared a look but said nothing.After Tamara put the folder away, she came back downstairs. Her gaze landed on Jayden, and she suddenly thought of Camilla. “Jay, how’s your relationship with Camilla going?”Jayden shrugged indifferently. “There’s nothing between us.”Tamara widened her eyes slightly. “What? I thought you liked her.”Jayden had on his usual warm smile. “Tammy, your wedding is the most important thing right now. Everything else can wait.”Tamara fell silent.Jayden was just asking her to mind her business in a roundabout way.“Fine. I’ll leave you to it.” Tamara pouted childishly.The dynamics between Jayden and Camilla were already intricate from the onset, but with Simon in the picture, things became even more convoluted.Tamara was eager to see what the stubborn J
