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

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

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

“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

Yareli was stunned. “What do you mean, Dad?”Sebastian paused. “Grandpa, Tamara had left.”Old Mr. Lynch nodded, and the conversation ended.Yareli was taken aback. Was old Mr. Lynch looking for Tamara?This wasn’t how he usually treated Tamara!It had only been a month! Why did both Sebastian and Old Mr. Lynch have a sudden change of heart about Tamara?Yareli was anxious. Tamara was only two months pregnant. If they waited for Tamara to give birth to the baby before divorcing her, things would surely get complicated!If that were to happen, it would be better if Sebastian divorced Tamara right now! That would prevent them from going off track.Something sinister flashed across Yareli’s eyes. A bitch like Tamara did not belong in the Lynch family!When Tamara returned to Skarrowlilt Grove, she was exhausted and immediately fell asleep once she hit the bed.In her daze, she could feel a pair of eyes on her, but she was too tired to care and fell back into a slumber instead.
