The bedroom door swung open abruptly, capturing the attention of Tera and Nora. They turned simultaneously to see Sebastian standing in the doorway, anger flashing in his eyes.Sebastian was dressed in a black kimono and satin pants, with nothing else underneath. His bare chest was partially exposed, leaving little to the imagination. Sebastian and black satin were a deadly combination. He looked incredibly hot, a sight that would make any woman swoon.Unfortunately, Tera was used to seeing him like this, so she was able to control her expression when she saw Sebastian looking incredibly alluring. Tera and Nora disregarded Mr. Lim's anger and focused back on their activities.Nora was changing her clothes after Tera had wiped her down with warm water. The fever had subsided and the sweat had decreased, but Tera made sure to change Nora's clothes regularly to prevent any rashes or itchiness. Plus, the little girl had trouble sleeping if she felt itchy after crying from waking up withou
Awakened by the kisses on her face, she squirms, trying to free herself from the weight pressing down on her body. Her eyes slowly adjust to the light illuminating the room.Her eyes open completely, Tera sees Sebastian towering over her.The man's face is filled with intense desire. Tera can see how much Sebastian yearns for her. But rather than take Tera's advice and find someone else, he only wants her.There were plenty of shortcuts he could have taken. But Sebastian chose the complicated and twisted path named Tera. He didn't care about using force if it meant giving Nora the mother she longed for.Tera may be overweight, but she is incredibly attractive, and the way Sebastian's eyes look at her, he is drawn to her despite her plain appearance. There is something strange that they both feel whenever their skin touches, which successfully captures Sebastian's interest in touching and possessing her.Sebastian never thought that this chubby woman is the one who triggers his body's e
Throughout the day, Nora did not want to see or speak to her Daddy. The little girl was sulking because she had been scolded and her Daddy had a scary expression on his face when he was angry. But Nora only wanted to be close to Tera, and Daddy didn't understand her wishes.Tera, who was used to Nora's tantrums, didn't bother herself with it. She simply remained silent and carried out her duties as the personal assistant and caregiver for the Lim family. Tera truly functioned as a caregiver for both members of the Lim family who had equally annoying behaviors. She didn't have much choice but to accept her role with an open heart and full obedience.Sebastian always behaved as if Tera was his personal servant, ordering her around with many private tasks. It started with preparing his clothes, shoes, daily plans, and even the food and drink he consumed. Meanwhile, for little Nora, Tera prepared everything she needed, from all the daily preparations that were safe and comfortable, to food
For the first time, Nora questioned her mommy. The girl asked if she had a mommy. The question was spoken with innocence, which pained Sebastian's heart. He couldn't answer it, nor did he want to discuss it with Nora, who was still too young.He remembered Mrs. Lim's message, hoping that Sebastian would have a complete family and grandchildren.That's why Sebastian and Mrs. Lim tried hard to find the perfect mother figure for Nora. It didn't have to match Sebastian's preferences, but it had to meet Nora's needs. Unfortunately, Sebastian couldn't fulfill that hope, even though Nora was starting to understand her situation. Especially since Nora had a mischievous friend named Isaac, the naughty boy who constantly teased Nora for not having a mommy and always played pranks on her whenever he got the chance. Maybe all of Isaac's teasing and disturbances made Nora realize the one thing she didn't have in the world.A mother.The figure that her friends at the playground had, but she didn't.
Sebastian glanced at one of the guards standing behind Wyne Kendall, the look contained an unspoken command and received the expected response. Two guards grabbed Wyne's right and left arms, then forcibly pulled her out of the elevator."What are you doing? Don't touch me! You have no right to touch me!" Wyne screamed, trying to free herself, but the guards' ears were already numb and accustomed to Sebastian's crazy friend, so they continued to pull Wyne out of the elevator forcefully."Seb! Please help me, Seb! Darling! Please don't do this, I'll be so sad if you change like this!" Wyne continued to struggle, refusing to give up, and causing a lot of trouble for the big-bodied guards due to her antics.Sebastian shook his head in disbelief, he leaned back and found Tera covering both of Nora's ears while asking the little girl to close her eyes.Tera was very agile in protecting Nora from the bad influences in the world, she did not let Nora see or imitate the bad behavior of the peop
And Sebastian stared at Nora intently.The little girl easily fell asleep due to the medication she had taken, especially since Nora had been crying and fighting with negative thoughts after encountering Kendall, the figure she was afraid of.Sebastian looked sad, his head resting on the chair. He seemed troubled by what he had heard."I'm sure she has been sick for days because she truly believed that you were her Mommy. She was scared if it was true, and it made her sick. Unfortunately, she didn't have the courage to ask you. Especially when you, her confidant, suddenly disappeared from our lives," Sebastian said."This little girl is actually a stubborn one. Yes, she must have gotten sick because of Wyne's words. Nora must have been scared and unable to accept that Wyne is her...""In reality, Nora has never liked any potential stepmother you introduced, whether it was from an arranged marriage or your personal approach. This little girl has her own standards that maybe only your fr
If there is one mode of transportation that Nora likes the most, it is the train. Nora enjoys riding the train more than flying on an airplane. The little girl often whines to Daddy to go on trips using the train, but Super Busy Daddy rarely rides the train. If not by car, the man always uses a helicopter or plane for long-distance travel. That's why Sebastian hasn't had the chance to take Nora on a train trip and has instructed Tera to take his place.The only experience Nora has of riding a train is in Singapore with Tera. They took a trip with no specific destination using the train, traveling just to satisfy Nora's curiosity. After her curiosity was fulfilled, they ended their trip at Universal Studios Singapore. The only daughter of the Lim family has a habit of having her every wish fulfilled, but because of her Daddy's limited time, Nora has to be satisfied with going on trips with Tera.But finally! Yes, finally, that wish has been fulfilled. Nora's biggest desire to go on a tr
Nora's anger was suppressed by the question that was asked. The Lim girl paused for a moment, looking confused in her attempt to answer."Married?" she repeated."Yes, Daddy just said it, right?""Marriage is like Daddy Krabs who married Mommy whale and have kids named Pearl," Nora answered.Sebastian almost choked upon hearing Nora's response, which was not within his realm of knowledge. Meanwhile, Tera laughed loudly upon hearing Nora's answer. The woman was laughing so hard that tears welled up in her eyes."Teya..." Nora protested, as Tera's laughter had made her annoyed.Sebastian, confused by the sudden change in the conversation, reached out for Tera's hand and shook it with a questioning expression on his face."Your child is talking about Spongebob, you know Mr. Krabs who has a whale named Pearl as a child?"Mr. Lim's brain loaded for the first five seconds and continued for the next five seconds."What do you mean?" Sebastian became more confused.Tera blinked quickly, her br
Three Months After Tera Spent Time with Nora!Sebastian Lim sat restlessly beside Tera—precisely inside the aircraft cabin soaring above the European land. They were en route to Switzerland for a year-end holiday after completing business in London. A brief vacation amid the CEO responsibilities at Trust Group was a privilege Sebastian cherished. When else would he have the time and opportunity to introduce Nora to the outside world, especially to snowy Europe? Nora would undoubtedly love the winter season, as the little girl often watched it in her favorite shows."Sir, is it true that Mrs. Herlinda will join us in Switzerland?" Tera asked, trying to ignore her boss's uneasiness."Yes, but not for a few more days. Mam is busy handling business in Indonesia.""In that case, may I leave earlier from this holiday?""What do you mean?""This is the year-end vacation I've been looking forward to all year. I promised to spend it with my sister in our hometown. So, I intend to ask for permi
On the first day as Nora's caregiver, Tera Vic took on the responsibility, leaving all meetings and tasks to fulfill the duty assigned by Da Lao Ban - taking care of a tantrum-throwing toddler longing for her father.Tera invited Nora and Sofia to play together in Sebastian Lim's private room within the main office. The room was filled with various toys, dolls, a fridge with play food, a hot water dispenser for making milk, a bottle sterilization machine, and other necessities.Originally Sebastian's resting place, the room transformed into a temporary bedroom for his child during office visits. Tera had heard that occasionally Da Lao Ban brought his toddler to the office, spending the entire day in the room due to Sebastian's unending business engagements.Sebastian Lim, known as a single man with a child, appeared worn-out and tired that day. Some new employees, like Tera, initially speculated about Sebastian being a single father due to a pregnancy outside of marriage, but Tera's s
Tera bid farewell to some guests in the Lim family mansion's flower garden. It was Mrs. Herlinda's birthday, and Sebastian organised an exclusive surprise party for his mother. Tired of repetitive pregnancy questions at the main event, Tera sought solace in the quiet right wing of the mansion near an artificial lake and lush trees, enjoying a cup of sweet tea.Unexpectedly, she found Raymond and Ethan there, sipping coffee and laughing. Seeing three cups, she guessed one was Sebastian's."What are you doing here, dear?" Sebastian appeared, embracing Tera."You startled me!" Tera exclaimed as she turned around."Look, we have a Tera here!" Ethan grinned.Sebastian explained their presence, and Tera playfully accused him. The trio enjoyed coffee while Tera and Sebastian shared a moment on a sofa.Raymond remarked on the surprising turn of events, referencing Sebastian's past visit to a club in a state of sexual frustration. Ethan chuckled, pointing out their happiness at Tera and Sebast
"For someone who's not fighting for anything, you also don't have the right to question me!" Sebastian replied."Are we going to continue like this? Arguing and fighting! Are you tired? I am exhausted. It's sickening to keep arguing with you!""If you're feeling sick, then I'm nauseated! I'm sick of your attitude!" Sebastian growled."Seb, what's wrong with you? Are you the same Sebastian I met yesterday, or are you a disguised ghost?""Cut the crap, Tera! Answer honestly, who's in your womb!" Sebastian didn't accept any nonsense and attacked her with a loud voice.Tera was stunned. She didn't expect Sebastian to respond so harshly."Seb..." Tera whispered."Don't cry! I don't want to see tears today! No more melodrama or nonsense! I just want an honest answer. Whose child is it, Tera? Is the child mine?"A teardrop rolled down the corner of Tera's eye. Her eyes widened perfectly due to the pressure and Sebastian's anger. She didn't expect the calm morning to turn into chaos."I don't
which is cool in the middle of thriving vineyards. A woman steps between the cabernet sauvignon on the left and right. Cabernet sauvignon is one of the most famous types of grapes and is widely used as the main raw material for making quality wine. The fruit grows abundantly, clustered and hanging ready to be picked. Tera enjoyed the view and the very cool morning air with a big smile on her lips. A smile which then received a reply from several plantation employees who were cleaning the grass which was getting taller. As obstetricians often recommend, Tera tries to have a healthier and stronger pregnancy. This morning she decided to take a morning walk as a form of light exercise that could strengthen her womb. Even though she was lazy and still sleepy, Tera fought it well. She must be able to do light exercise for the good of the child in her womb. Tera took in as much oxygen as possible and then exhaled slowly. A fresh morning intake will improve his mood. Last night Te
"this is it?" Sebastian murmured. His voice was weak. He lowered his head, avoiding Tera's gaze. She nodded softly, "Yes, this is it." She replied softly."Goodbye, Tera." Sebastian said without looking at the woman."Seb," Tera replied in kind.He turned away, his shoulders slumped, and his body language defeated.Tera stood there, motionless in front of her cabin. In the hallway, without looking back, she leaned against the wall for support. Her face was wet from the flowing tears. For some reason, the tears never failed to accompany her in moments like these.Even though this separation wasn't their first, the pain still felt just as strong."You're home already?" Thomas exclaimed as he appeared from the opposite hallway.The middle-aged man hurried to Tera, who was standing there crying by the wall. He embraced her and held her for a while, the young woman's body had become frail and fragile during the time they had been apart.Tera let her tears flow, fully venting her emotions.
Tera was restless, thinking about her unborn child, but she couldn't stop Sebastian Lim from being passionate behind her. He tried different positions to find comfort in their lovemaking, settling into the one that worked best for him. Tera moaned with pleasure, kissing as if there was no tomorrow, and Sebastian's hands firmly gripped her ample breasts."Give it to me, darling!" Sebastian exclaimed, raw and vulnerable.He released their kiss and focused on reaching his desired climax. His movements became more aggressive, rough, and Tera lost control.Amid the relentless pounding, Tera convulsed and her entire body tensed and trembled. She let out incoherent sounds of ecstasy as she reached her peak. Sebastian followed seconds later. He shuddered and thrust harder, his mouth letting out rough profanities as his body contracted and convulsed.It was an intense union filled with pent-up desire. They surrendered to each other, consumed by a longing that couldn't be contained. Tera and Se
Was last night's affair so terrible that it made Sebastian turn so cold, indifferent, and arrogant towards me? Question after question swirled in Tera's mind. The Sebastian Lim she met at the party last night was entirely different from the Sebastian Lim who had barged into her room and the one she encountered this morning. The Sebastian Lim at the party had been vulnerable, openly sharing his feelings and even expressing concerns about infertility and the condition of his heart. But when he forced her last night, he reverted to the Sebastian Lim Tera had known. And now, this morning?Yes, indeed. This morning, Sebastian became even colder and more indifferent. Any trace of the gentleness and warmth that Tera had glimpsed had vanished without a trace. Sebastian looked at Tera with disinterest, and his glances seemed filled with aversion.Tera regretted her curiosity and following Sebastian, finding herself trapped in the elevator. Knowing the consequences, she should have stuck with h
What happened felt like a dream that had never come true. If only Tera hadn't woken up without clothes and only covered in a thick blanket, maybe she would have thought it was a dream in the midst of her loneliness.Tera squirmed and stretched her extremely tired muscles. It was a quick, intense lovemaking that had left her feeling completely fulfilled. She longed for all those touches. She missed Sebastian greatly. This morning, he was the only thing on her mind. She couldn't get Sebastian out of her thoughts, and all the images from last night consumed her.Thomas Vic was puzzled by his daughter's behavior. He glanced at Tera several times and became suspicious when he saw her smile grow wider and more mysterious."Uh-huh...," Thomas cleared his throat, breaking Tera's reverie at the breakfast table, "It seems like someone is in a good mood this morning.""A beautiful morning should start with happiness. So, smile, Dad.""What happened last night? Did Arnold confess his feelings to
