A look of terror crossed Tamara’s face. She looked so helpless under the dim light.Sebastian was like a beast. He stared into her eyes and only got off her when he noticed her tears.Tamara took in a deep breath.She didn’t miss the way Sebastian had lost control moments ago.Tamara shut her eyes to calm herself down.Just as her breathing had normalized, she sat up and prepared to leave the bed.“Where are you going?” Sebastian still had his eyes shut when he felt a shift in the bed. He quickly held onto Tamara’s arm and asked in a cold tone.Tamara tried to break free from his grip and failed for the millionth time.Tamara bit her lips, and tears welled up in her eyes.She didn’t know what overcame her.Just when the two of them were inches apart, she found herself longing for their lips to connect.Why would she have such a yearning?She should be wary of how Sebastian was acting toward her, and yet…It was a weird feeling. One that she was scared of.She must keep it
“Why is a pregnant lady like you awake this early in the morning? Go back to sleep!” Old Mr. Lynch was already outside waiting for her.Tamara quickly shut the door. She was honestly getting quite annoyed at this.She suspected the old man had been camping outside the room all night without sleep.But why would he do that?Did he find out about the agreement Tamara had with Sebastian?Amidst her confusion, she failed to notice Sebastian was done showering.A breeze of cold air hit her from behind, and Tamara snapped around. Sebastian was standing behind her with only a towel on him.Tamara widened her eyes and pointed a shaky finger at him. But then, she realized she was the one invading his privacy and immediately turned back around.Sebastian chuckled at this and stalked toward her.Tamara felt a warmth behind her and quickly took a few steps forward. Unbeknownst to her, she was playing right into Sebastian’s hand.Tamara noticed something was off and quickly spun around.
Tamara narrowed her eyes at this. Return Simmons Corporation to its former glory?Tamara sneered mockingly.Ms. Thompson came in with a dish. Tamara put down her phone and dug in.Ms. Thompson was smiling from ear to ear. “Of course, couples shouldn’t be sleeping in different rooms. Take a look at yourself. You looked much better than before.”Tamara choked on her food.Ms. Thompson hurried to say, “Chew properly, Young Mrs. Lynch.”Tamara huffed in annoyance.Ms. Thompson’s words had hit a nerve.What did Ms. Thompson even mean by she looked better after spending the night with Sebastian?She was up all night!Tamara wanted to scream, but the only thing she managed to put out was a smile on her face. She resumed her meal.Ms. Thompson could sense that Tamara did not wish to continue the conversation and cleverly kept her mouth shut.Old Mr. Lynch had come down by then. He gave Ms. Thompson a look, and she immediately walked toward him.There was some distance between the
“And you are good at the game?” Sebastian said calmly.Benjamin pouted.“It’s just a game. Who cares about skills,” whined Benjamin.Sebastian snorted at this. He didn’t believe in Benjamin’s gaming skills.Benjamin saw the look on his face and asked, “Seb, are you a pro at this game?”Sebastian cast a glance at him. “It’s an easy game.”Benjamin huffed, “Prove it then! I want to see just how good you are at it!”Benjamin threw the phone and Sebastian and smiled mockingly at him.Benjamin was here to pass the time, but Sebastian had completely ignored his presence. He had no choice but to play games on his phone.Sebastian calmly took the phone in his hand.The match soon started. Benjamin had chosen a warrior class character.Benjamin peered over Sebastian’s shoulders. “Hey! Don’t lose the game! I don’t want to lose my rank!”Sebastian ignored him.Back in the game, Margot was busy chatting up a storm with Tamara with Tamara’s occasional chat reply.“That’s weird. Why ha
Benjamin butted in, “Who is it? Let me see.”He saw the game ID. It was Cutie-pie.Benjamin narrowed his eyes. “This is…”He turned to Sebastian. “Isn’t this the person you’re playing with?”Jerome paused before peering at the ongoing game. He exclaimed excitedly, “This is her! She’s a legend in the gaming community. She is a top player on the country’s server. She even turned down gaming invitations from popular gaming clubs! Even now, she would not accept donations during her live broadcasts. She has over 30 million fans and her existence is god-tier!”Jerome buzzed with excitement.He was also into gaming. Naturally, he grew curious about the streamer. When the company first came up with the idea to enter the gaming industry, he immediately thought of her.He couldn't believe Sebastian was gaming with her now.Jerome cast an excited look at Sebastian. “Young Mr. Lynch, this is a one-in-a-million opportunity.”Sebastian raised his eyebrow and said indifferently, “Search up a
Sebastian cocked an eyebrow at this.“That’s where you live,” said Benjamin.Jerome tilted his head in confusion. “Was there such a good gamer in the Lynch family?”Sebastian was deep in thought.A good gamer…No. There was no one like that in the Lynch family.However, that was before Tamara came into the picture.Could it be?Was being a tea barista not her only secret identity?Sebastian gathered his thoughts and pulled out his phone. He looked for Tamara’s contact.There it was, Tamara Simmons.It was her own name.Completely different from the game ID.So, this must be a coincidence.Benjamin whistled in amusement. “I can’t track them anymore. They must be a hacker too.”His voice was filled with admiration, and he grew curious about the person. “I must find out who this person is.”Jerome’s mood had dampened. “How am I supposed to find her if I don’t have any information on her?”Benjamin patted Jerome on the back. “Calm down. You can always send her a message.”
Then…The screen lagged before going completely dark. What was happening?Sebastian frowned. He clicked on the site only to find he had been removed from the live broadcast.His face fell at this. Just then, a notification popped up on the screen: “The system is under maintenance for the next half an hour. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.”Sebastian clenched his jaw.Damn it! Sebastian picked up his phone and called home angrily.It was Ms. Thompson who answered again.“Has Tamara drank the tea?” Sebastian asked in a low voice.Ms. Thompson replied, “She said she would drink it later.”“What was she doing when you went in?” Sebastian looked out the window.Ms. Thompson blinked before replying, “She was resting in bed. What’s wrong, Young Mr. Lynch?”“Nothing.” Sebastian hung up the call and narrowed his eyes.Was she resting in bed?But the pair of hands looked oddly familiar.Was his mind playing tricks on him?“What the hell? Why did the system decide to
How could he do this?Tamara’s face flushed bright red, and her bright eyes glistened. She did not dare to meet Sebastian’s gaze.Sebastian sneered lowly, then grabbed her arm and started observing it.Tamara tried her best to pull her arm back, but the man was too strong. She could do nothing to resist him.“What the hell does he want?” Tamara thought.She looked up at Sebastian with that question in her eyes. However, the man’s gaze was fixed on her hand.He loosened his grip on Tamara not a moment later.Doubt lingered in Sebastian’s eyes as he regarded her. “Could it not have been her?” he wondered.Tamara’s hands were small and delicate. Her fingers were slender and nice to look at.He recalled that while the hands shown in the live broadcast were fair and slender, they were not as small as Tamara’s.Sebastian figured there might be an issue with the video angle.He retracted his burning gaze from Tamara’s hand to look up at the woman.At this moment, Tamara’s cheeks w
