Sebastian’s expression darkened. His voice was low and magnetizing as he asked, “You’d let me do anything?”Tamara nodded, looking incredibly serious. Her beautiful eyes shone with determination.Yareli had no idea what words the couple were exchanging with each other. However, she could tell that Sebastian and Tamara had struck some sort of deal with each other.“How can this happen?” she thought to herself.“Seb, what are you guys doing? You’re not planning to let this wicked woman off easy, are you?” Yareli asked, stone-faced as she looked at her son.Sebastian turned his head towards her and said, “Mom, I’ll handle this my way. You must be tired. You should head home to rest.”“Hold on, what do you mean by that?” Yareli was truly startled. “You’re really going to let this evil wench off scot-free? Seb, listen to me, that woman has to be kicked out of the family today or –”“Ms. Thompson, please show my mother out.”Sebastian interrupted Yareli, then tugged Tamara upstairs b
The reply read: ”Roger that, Miss Simmons.”Tamara put her phone down and then closed her eyes slowly.It was clear that whoever was behind the incident had begun plotting a long while ago. They were definitely trying to get rid of the baby in her belly.Once the baby was gone, Tamara would not be able to retain her position as Young Mrs. Lynch anymore.When that happened, who would be the one to benefit from the situation the most?An image of Rowena crossed her mind at that thought.Tamara recalled that when she had gone to retrieve her marriage certificate with Sebastian, Rowena had nothing nice to say to her.Furthermore, she even tried to push Tamara over, hoping she would lose the baby.It was very likely that Rowena had been the one to bribe the maid.However, these were all just guesses. Tamara would have to get the whole truth from Cynthia.Half an hour later.Tamara’s phone vibrated in her hand. She hurriedly looked at it and found that the person she had contacted
Sebastian’s handsome features seemed frosted over with ice. He looked down at his expensive wristwatch and said curtly, “Let’s hold off for a short while.”Jerome was confused. He did not know what Sebastian was waiting for.Soon enough, he found the answer to his query.Benjamin called Sebastian to invite him to a meal in 1999.Sebastian got his car key from Jerome, then reminded the latter, “Keep a close eye on the situation over there.”Jerome nodded. “Understood, Young Mr. Lynch.”Sebastian drove himself to 1999. Just as he passed the key to the valet, he spotted a familiar figure heading her way into 1999’s lobby.He quirked an eyebrow and thought, “What a coincidence.”Tamara managed to get someone to track Rowena down. When she was notified that the woman was having a little get-together in 1999, she made her way to the bar straight away.1999 felt like home to Tamara.As such, she had no trouble navigating her way to the private lounge Rowena was said to be in.Insid
”Miss Simmons, what are you trying to do? You barged in here all of a sudden. Are you looking for Young Mr. Lynch? He’s not here, you’re looking in the wrong–”Before Rowena could complete her performance, Tamara landed a tight slap on her face.Her beautiful, delicate features frosted over icily. Her bright eyes fixed themselves on Rowena, impatience burning through them.“Oh my God!”Someone exclaimed. No one had expected Tamara to raise her hand against Rowena.Rowena was stunned and rendered speechless for a short moment. When she finally snapped back to her senses, she glared angrily at Tamara. “How dare you hit me!”“As she should. Why? Do you need a warning every time it happens?”Before Tamara could reply, a cold voice sounded from behind her.“Young Mr. Lynch…”“He’s on Tamara’s side?”“I thought he was still mad at Tamara for getting rid of their baby!”The private lounge suddenly buzzed with chatter and whispers. Rowena’s expression darkened.She did not expect S
Tamara followed Sebastian into his car. After putting on her seatbelt, she turned to cast her beautiful eyes on the man next to her, her gaze unblinking.Sebastian started driving without another word. With a cold expression, he asked, “What are you staring at?”No matter how long Tamara looked at him, she couldn’t tell what had gone wrong.Sebastian’s dark eyes swept over Tamara for a short moment. When he saw that she was sitting obediently in her seat with a hint of confusion on her face, faint joy flashed in his eyes.He brought Tamara to another hospital.After the checkup, the doctor showed them the medical report and said, “You’re showing some signs of a potential miscarriage. Please mind what you eat. Here are some meds for you to take. They’ll help regulate your body. If you take good care of yourself, everything will be fine.”Tamara nodded with a smile.Coldness flashed in Sebastian’s eyes as he stood behind Tamara.It seemed that the poison Tamara had ingested throu
Tamara remained still. Her cheeks puffed out a little, making her look like an irritated pufferfish. The stone-faced Sebastian did not cow her.Sebastian’s eyes darkened. With a dangerous glint in his eyes, he asked, “Tamara Simmons, are you going to fight me on this?”Tamara lowered her head to type. She didn’t like Sebastian’s controlling behavior. She should be free to leave the house for work.She wrote: “Sebastian Lynch, we agreed that we wouldn’t interfere with each other’s lives over the next ten months. Have you forgotten?”Sebastian swept his gaze over the message, and a cold aura began to emit from his body.“That agreement was made when the baby was safe and healthy. Seeing that the little one’s life is at stake right now, I believe you do not have the right to negotiate the terms with me.”Tamara’s brows furrowed at that. Tightening the grip on her phone, the white of her knuckles was suddenly very prominent.“Leave.”Sebastian returned his gaze to his computer, his
Tamara went back to her room to take a short breather. Not a moment later, Ms. Thompson came knocking at her door. Tamara opened the door and stilled when she spotted the glass of milk the housekeeper was holding.After drinking the milk Cynthia had brought her all those times, her body gradually grew weaker. After having gone through such an ordeal, even looking at milk made Tamara want to retch. She waved a hand at Ms. Thompson, indicating that she didn’t want any of it.Ms. Thompson was stunned. “Young Mrs. Lynch, you don’t want milk?”Tamara nodded affirmingly.“But you can’t not have any! Milk is rich in so many nutrients. Young Mrs. Lynch, you should really–”“Just get her something else to replace the nutrients. That’ll make up for it just fine.”Sebastian interrupted, his tone low and enticing.Tamara and Ms. Thompson turned to look at the man. The housekeeper overcame her shock and smiled as she said, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to be pushy. I was just concerned about the b
Falling in love with that mute was next to impossible.Sebastian’s expression frosted over. He took a sip of wine and said, “That won’t happen.”This time, his tone was flat. He did not sound the least bit irritated.Sebastian hadn’t tried to defend himself. Instead, he merely stated that it wouldn’t happen.Benjamin quirked a brow at him. “Are you sure?”Sebastian’s cold gaze swept over his friend. “You’ve got a lot of free time to spare these days, don’t you?”Feeling that he was threading through dangerous waters, Benjamin hurriedly shook his head. “That’s not it. I’ve been incredibly busy recently! A new batch of cars just came in. I’m still thinking about how I should design all of them.”Sebastian swept his eyes over Benjamin once before withdrawing his cold gaze.Late at night.Tamara slept through the evening, eventually waking up at ten later that night.She got out of bed with a yawn, and her stomach rumbled from hunger.She walked out of her room to head to the li
