Sebastian cocked an eyebrow and stared at Tamara in surprise.Tamara gave her his phone. "No need to worry, Mr. Lynch. I don’t like having my life planned out for me either. Once the child is born, I’ll leave. Here’s the agreement. Have a look."Sebastian took the document and skimmed through it. He was still in disbelief. "You’ll leave? Really?"He always thought that this woman who did whatever it took to marry him would definitely want something from him. However, this woman…Tamara smiled. Just a simple smile of hers would bring a man to his knees, but when one looked into her eyes, one could see how clear and bright they were. Any impure thoughts they had of her would be cleansed just from peering into her eyes."I don’t wish to be anyone’s pawn, nor do I wish to be in a loveless marriage. I believe you would agree with me on this. That’s why I hope we can get along for the next ten months." Tamara put down her phone and looked calmly at Sebastian.She still had many things
Tamara shook her head and signed, “Let me have a look at them. If they were made around the same time period, I can mix them without having to taste them.”Margot had no choice but to relent. “Alright.”Margot was the owner of 1999, while Tamara was the best mixologist there. The reason why 1999 was such a hot spot was mainly due to Tamara.She was sensitive to alcohol and could taste the finest differences between each bottle. With her skills, she could make a very fine drink by mixing different types of alcohol. The two left the lobby just as a black Rolls-Royce Phantom was rolling in.A tall man came out of the car.He was wearing a tailored silver-gray suit and looked ravishing. He was on a call.“Mr. Lynch, I heard that 1999’s mixologist is back. She has a good tongue. Didn’t you lose your sense of taste? Let her mix a drink for you. Maybe you’ll recover,” mocked Benjamin Inkling.Sebastian huffed. “A good tongue? How would you know? Have you put her service to the test?”
Tamara’s face fell. She hurriedly typed: “I didn’t follow you, Mr. Lynch, and I never lie. Not every woman here is out to get you. Please get off your high horse.”When Sebastian read what she wrote, he was furious. He let out a cruel chuckle. “Do you think I’d trust the words of a scheming bitch like you?”Tamara stood her ground. “Believe what you want.”Sebastian sneered. “You must have run out of excuses. Hurry up and go home. You’re not to leave the house without my permission. Don’t forget, you’re pregnant with my child. If anything happens to the child, I’ll make your life a living hell!”Tamara panicked. “Sebastian Lynch! You have no right to strip me of my freedom! Might I remind you that you’ve signed the divorce settlement agreement too? We agreed we wouldn’t bother each other!”After reading the text, Sebastian knew how furious Tamara was.“Tamara Simmons, you have no right to bargain with me! You were the one who forced this marriage! And now, you have to listen to w
Benjamin smiled faintly. “Margot said the mixologist has just arrived. We’ll have to wait awhile.”Sebastian loosened his tie and sat on the couch. For some reason, the scene of Margot defending Tamara from him flashed across his mind. He couldn’t help but ask, “When are you planning to win that woman over?”Benjamin was stunned. “What?”“Nothing.”Just then, a waiter knocked on the door and entered, leaving a single glass on the table.Sebastian frowned. “Only one glass?”Benjamin explained, “This mixologist is a peculiar one. She only prepares three drinks a day. And those three drinks are this place’s specialty.”Sebastian picked up the glass and examined it. It didn’t look any different from other drinks. Upon smelling it, it didn’t smell like much either.He really couldn’t believe that this was their specialty.His annoyance flared, and he downed the entire glass.It had a nice burn to it and tasted good…Sebastian furrowed his eyebrows and struggled to describe the ta
Tamara was annoyed. This man was such a child. Everything in the suitcase was precious to her. How could she just toss them?She observed the place and saw there was a staircase leading up to her room’s balcony.Tamara grinned. He wanted her to obey him?Not a chance!She brought her suitcase up using the staircase without hesitation. Once she put everything in place, she congratulated herself on a job well done.The door to her room was left open. When Sebastian, who had just come upstairs, saw how happy Tamara looked, he furrowed his eyebrows and walked in. “Didn’t I ask you to toss them? Why are you here?”Tamara shot a glance at him and pulled out her phone. “Mr. Lynch, everything in the suitcase is my private property. You have no say in what I do with them. If you still wish to order me around, my body might not be able to take it.”Tamara rubbed her stomach to strengthen her point. It was a threat!Sebastian’s face darkened, and he gave Tamara a cold look. This damned wo
Sebastian rushed over to support Tamara before kicking Rowena to the ground.“Ouch!” Rowena cried out in pain. When she saw the cold look on Sebastian’s face, she was engulfed by fear. “Mr. Lynch, I didn’t mean it. I merely touched her…”Sebastian’s gaze sent shivers down her spine. It was like he wanted to kill her.Sebastian retracted his gaze and looked at the frightened Tamara in his arms. He asked in a lowered voice, “Are you alright?”Tamara shook her head and looked on in gratitude. She never thought he would save her.Sebastian stated blankly, “I’m just taking care of my child. I wouldn’t have helped otherwise.”Tamara sighed. It was because of the child.She stole a glance at Rowena and noticed the hatred in her eyes.This got Tamara worried, and she instinctively put a hand over her stomach.Sebastian pulled her back to reality. “What are you waiting for?”Tamara snapped back to her senses and followed Sebastian inside.Rowena’s face soured when she saw Sebastian p
That was the only thing her mother had left for her!Her mother had gifted it to her last year on her birthday. It was a beautiful pendant.Tamara rushed to snatch it back but was pushed back by the man. “Scram!”Tamara steadied herself against the wall. She paled and hurriedly typed on her phone, “That was given to me by my mother. Give it back.”The man, however, merely chuckled cruelly. “Are you mute? Do you want it back? Pay up!”Tamara stared deeply at the man and bit her lip. She turned to Quentin and signed, “How much do you owe them?”Quentin had been following her with his eyes. After all, she was the only person who could save the Simmons family.“1.5 million dollars. Tammy, my dear sister, you have to save our family. And that pendant. It was given to you by our mother!”Tamara closed her eyes and sucked in a deep breath. She did not have that much money saved up! Never would she have thought that her family would be so deep in debt!Scarface watched the two closely
Tamara smiled. This person had contacted her a month ago to buy some scented tea to help with their insomnia. This scented tea was the newest product and was able to treat one’s insomnia.It had just been announced, and people were already trying to buy the product. However, something had happened, and she stopped making tea.Tamara walked to her room with her phone in hand. She replied: “We do. How much do you need?”At the same time, in the president’s office of ST Corporation, Sebastian was at his desk doing some paperwork.There was a sudden knock on his door.“Come in.”Sebastian’s personal assistant, Jerome Crowe, came in with a bright smile on his face. “Mr. Lynch, the tea barista responded. They’re asking how much scented tea we’d like to order.”Sebastian paused. He hinted for Jerome to pass him the tablet.Jerome sighed. “I thought the tea barista had stopped making tea. If it weren’t for the Simmons family, you’ve bought a lot more scented tea much earlier.”Sebast
