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
Tamara’s breathing was a mess. She shied away from Sebastian all of a sudden and took a couple of steps back. Her beautiful eyes shone with wariness as she regarded the man before her.She could smell alcohol. It meant that he was probably drunk.Tamara figured that she wouldn’t take his actions to heart.She picked up one of the bowls filled with noodles and went straight upstairs. Once inside her room, she could still feel her cheeks burning from the encounter.The moment he was pushed away by Tamara, he closed his eyes abruptly.Tamara’s fragrant, enticing scent still lingered in his nose. He could not get his mind off her delicate lips.“Fuck!” Sebastian cursed lowly. He opened his eyes and was met with the bowl of noodles Tamara had made for him, making him feel gloomy instantly.He spun on his heel and went upstairs without touching the food.The next morning.Tamara had packed everything she needed. Walking out of her room, she lifted her head and saw that Sebastian had
Margot knew that Tamara filmed TikTok videos. She rather enjoyed watching Tamara film those short videos every time.Tamara got her hair done first. After ensuring that the wig was properly fixed onto her scalp, she began to do her makeup.Her makeup skills were out of this world. Within half an hour, Tamara managed to make herself look like a goddess reincarnate.Passion filled the air when she looked behind her from a certain angle.“Oh my God!”Margot had been playing on her phone the entire time. Her eyes widened in amazement when she lifted her head and saw the goddess Tamara had transformed herself into. “Tammy, you’re literally a goddess! You look gorgeous!”Tamara blushed at Margot’s kind praises. She smiled at her shyly.“If I were a man, I would definitely marry you and carry you home.”Margot was always amazed by how pretty Tamara was. Seeing how red Tamara’s lips were, Margot could barely contain herself from taking a bite.Tamara pushed Margot aside, then changed
The video only spanned 22 seconds. Sebastian rewatched it countless times.He could not shift his gaze away from the bright eyes on his screen. The longer he stared at them, the more familiar they seemed.Eventually, he stopped watching the video and dialed Skarrowlilt Grove’s landline.“Hello, Young Mr. Lynch.”Ms. Thompson had been the one to pick up the phone.“Where’s Tamara?” Sebastian asked in a low voice.Ms. Thompson was taken aback by the question. “Young Mrs. Lynch went out. She hasn’t come home yet.”Sebastian’s expression darkened significantly at that. “Do you have her number? Can you call– I mean, text her? Tell her to hurry home and remind her of her place in the family!”Ms. Thompson teased, “Young Mr. Lynch, I’m just the family’s housekeeper. It wouldn’t be right for me to hurry Young Mrs. Lynch home like that. If you’re worried about her, you should be the one calling her instead. I’ll send you her number right away.”“Ms. Thompson, you’re–”Before Sebastian
“Who else but her?” Margot answered coldly on behalf of Tamara.Shouldn’t one thank their savior once they wake up?What was wrong with this old man?Why did he look pissed despite being saved by Tamara?The old man slowly relaxed. He glanced at Tamara and lifted his chin.On cue, Tamara immediately went forward to help him up.Margot widened her eyes at the sight of this. “What is wrong with you? You didn’t even thank her! And now you’re ordering her around? You…”Tamara pulled on Margot’s hand, indicating for her to stop.The old man was pale and looked unwell. But the ambulance arrived soon.Tamara got in the ambulance after them, but the old man stopped her. “Don’t follow me. Leave.”Tamara shook her head and stood her ground. Her anxiety only calmed down after she sent him to the hospital.Seeing Tamara’s determination, the old man let her be and closed his eyes.“Tammy, what are you doing? Can’t you see he’s being an ass?” Upon seeing Tamara getting in the ambulance,
“What? Cat got your tongue? Did Tamara not boast about marrying into the Lynch family? After all, someone like her must have been born under a lucky star to be able to marry Seb,” mocked Yareli when she saw Margot’s apparent shock.Margot held Tamara’s hand and said in a serious manner, “Tammy, blink once if you have been kidnapped or blackmailed. I’ll save you.”Tamara rolled her eyes.Margot sure had a wild imagination.Yareli’s face turned sour. “What are you implying?”Margot turned her attention back to Yareli and flashed her a fake smile. “I said what I said.”Yareli’s face darkened. “I knew it! Birds of a feather flock together. Of course, an evil bitch like her would be friends with such an impudent person!”Tamara’s eyes sharpened, and she reached for her phone. Margot was no pushover, either. She immediately spat, “Mrs. Lynch, you were once a noble lady too. I see that even after years of living in luxury, you have not polished your poise and could still only spout bul
“Wait a minute…” Margot wanted to butt in but was stopped by Tamara. Tamara signed, “You should head home. I’ll be fine.”Margot was worried. “But…”Tamara smiled. “I’ll be fine. Also, they wouldn’t dare to hurt a pregnant lady.”Margot was hesitant, but still, she nodded reluctantly. “Alright. You take care now. If anything happens, send me a text.”Seeing Tamara nodding, Margot turned to shoot Sebastian a warning. But her throat dried when she met Sebastian’s cold gaze. “I… I’ll leave Tamara in your care.”Tamara bit back a smile.Where was the fierce warrior from just a minute ago?Margot left the hospital soon after. Tamara signed her thanks to Sebastian.Sebastian ignored her and averted his gaze. He had a moody look on his face. “Go home.”Tamara stuck her tongue out and complied, leaving the hospital.Since Sebastian had helped her, she couldn’t allow Margot to continue with her onslaught.As for her close confinement…Of course, she wouldn’t comply!Seeing that T
