Sean felt a heaviness in his chest, a pain akin to a dull knife cutting his heart. “I’m sorry, Taty. You’ve suffered so much today. I’m getting angry just thinking about it. The more I think about it, the more useless I feel.”
Tatiana said, “No! Don’t think this way, Sean. I feel so blessed every day to be with you. I’ve never felt like I’ve suffered.”
Holding Sean’s damp face, Tatiana panicked, and her eyes reddened. Each tear that rolled down his face felt like a pit carved into her heart.
No one would know how strong Sean was more than she did. He had partnered with Jeremy and Alyssa for so long and fought for them, becoming one of the most powerful people they had.
Yet, that very same man hid in the kitchen to cry about what happened to her that day. The pain must be so great that he felt this dejected.
Sean lowered his gaze, his voice strained with pain as he spoke, “Taty, you are a cherished member of the Taylor family, the darling of Mr. Winston and Madam Lyla. Mr. Jonah and Ms. Alyssa hold you dear.
“I’ve witnessed your growth, the carefree days of your youth¡ªlicking lollipops, playfully hiding behind Ms. Alyssa. It’s etched vividly in my memory. If it weren’t for me, your life would have been much happier. My family has robbed you of your joy.”
Tatiana shook her head, fighting back tears. She was concerned that if he kept dwelling on these thoughts, he might not be able to recover from the emotional turmoil.
Sean croaked, gritting his teeth so tightly it seemed they might break. “When I saw how they humiliated you today, I was so tempted to…”
Before he could finish, Tatiana tiptoed and kissed him passionately on the lips with her eyes closed.
Sean’s breath deepened with her passion, and his eyes sparked with desire. His chest rose and fell against her breasts, separated only by a thin shirt. He could distinctly feel her breasts against him.
The lustful desire coiled its way into his heart.
The overflowing pot of milk broke their immersion.
“Hmm. Sean, the milk will run dry if we don’t turn it off now,” Tatiana coyly said in Sean’s arms, her face blushing.
Sean finally regained his senses. He frantically turned down the fire and wiped the counter clean.
After finishing, he sighed and laughed helplessly. “Look at me. I can’t even do something this small right.”
“Not at all. You are the most perfect man to me, Sean.”
Tatiana hugged Sean’s waist tightly and clung to him like a koala. “Sean, you have to remember how important you are to me.
“You are not allowed to say such negative things. I don’t want to hear you talk about how you’ve robbed me of my joy. I have a temper, you know, and I’m not afraid to use it. I am super scary when I get angry.”
Tatiana pursed her lips reddened by the kiss. Her angry look had melted some of Sean’s grievances away. He couldn’t help but smile.
Tatiana became serious once more. “My family bestowed their blessings upon me. Now, the responsibility lies with us to create our own happiness. So, don’t feel that you’ve let me down. I don’t consider myself to be suffering. After all, no relationship is without its challenges.
“Every girl in the Taylor family is cherished by my father. None of us escaped the pain of love. Take Miley, the First Lady, for instance¡ªshe faced trials and tribulations before uniting with Jeremy. At that time, Jeremy was disliked by many for being significantly older and not in the best physical health.
“Miley had to marry far away and accompany him on his political journey. My dad and Aunty Mandy posed numerous challenges for them back then.”
Sean’s eyes trembled slightly. He had heard some of these things from Alyssa before.
“Even so, that didn’t stop them from getting together. Plus, everything turned out to prove Miley was right. Look at how well Jeremy treats her! He spoils her like a little girl. They had a rocky start but are living happily ever after now.”
As she spoke, Tatiana raised her face and gazed into his eyes. “I’m sure you’ll treat me well too. I don’t think the happiness you bring me will be worse off than my sisters. Am I right?”
Sean’s heart shuddered as he planted a kiss on her forehead.
He was putty in her hands. She had his heart, life, and soul in her hands.
“Taty, I swear this is the last time it’ll ever happen. I will never let you suffer like you did today ever again.”
Sean tearfully embraced his beloved and said, “I may have come from the Lynch family, but the moment they started insulting you, I no longer had anything to do with them.”
Tatiana was both touched and concerned. “Sean…”
“I don’t have a home anymore,” Sean said with a bitter chuckle, though most of what he felt was a sense of release. “From now on, I’m just Sean Lynch. The third son of the Lynch family has ceased to exist.”
“Who says you don’t have a home?” Tatiana’s brows furrowed as she pressed her fingers to Sean’s lips. “You’ll always have a family as long as I’m here. My family is your family.”
As the night continued, both Tatiana and Sean naturally slept together.
But they only slept in the same bed, nothing more.
Sean lay stiffly beside Tatiana in pajamas like a canned sardine. There was even a clear divide between him and Tatiana on the bed.
He could smell the shampoo Tatiana had used for her hair. He could hear her breathing and even feel her warmth.
Sean swallowed nervously, throat dry. Heat burned in his lower abdomen.
Sean might be a proper, virtuous man, but laying beside Tatiana as the night went on was still really difficult to bear.
All of a sudden, a floral fragrance swept across his senses.
Sean opened his eyes to find Tatiana straddling his waist. When she leaned into him, her oversized pajama shirt slipped down her shoulder to her waist.
Sean immediately closed his eyes, as if afraid he might tarnish Tatiana just by looking at her. His heart pounded in his chest.
“Open your eyes. Look at me,” Tatiana murmured in Sean’s ear, making his body roil with desire.
He slowly opened his eyes. The sweat from the palms of his hands had soaked through the sheets.
“Sean. I want you.”
Finally, Sean snapped.
He turned around and pressed Tatiana into the bed with a strength she couldn’t fight back against. His voice was raspy with desire as he said, “Are you really ready, Taty?”
Tatiana nodded shyly.
“I’ll take responsibility, Taty. You’ll be my wife after tonight.”
Tatiana’s cheeks were burning red amidst their passionate exchange. She was like a shy and tender rosebud, ready to bloom for Sean at any moment’s notice.
“Ms. Tatiana Taylor, please take me as yours for the rest of your life.” Sean’s passionate call of Tatiana’s name and the burning devotion in his eyes made Tatiana tremble beneath him.
From this moment forward, Sean aspired not only to be the one Tatiana loved but also to seamlessly be one with her.
The sky was dark as rain drizzled from the heaven above. It was the perfect weather to pay respects to one’s loved ones at the cemetery.
Alyssa and Jeremy had come to pay respects to Anne again. They had brought flowers and hurriedly cleaned the gravestone up as if planning to have a meal with Jeremy’s mother.
Though Anne had long passed away, she must not be lonely now that Alyssa and Jeremy tended to her grave and missed her so.
“Lyse and I have gotten revenge for you, Mom. Sophia’s been sentenced to death. 20 years… it’s finally over.” Jeremy clasped Alyssa’s hand tightly. “Retribution will always come in time. I hope you can finally be at peace now.”
The two then bowed respectfully to the gravestone.
Just then, steady footsteps rang out from nearby.
“It’s Grandpa!” Alyssa turned over excitedly.
Jeremy’s pupils dilated in surprise.
Newton was pushed over by Ben in his wheelchair, not far away. There was a bouquet of white lilies in Newton’s lap¡ªAnne’s favorite. When Anne was alive, Seaview Manor was adorned with white lilies¡ª each stalk tenderly tended by her.
Even Anne’s father-in-law, Newton, knew lilies were her favorite, yet her own husband, Javier, did not.
How ironic.
“Let me help you up, Mr. Walsh,” Ben offered.
He was about to help Newton when the latter pushed himself up using his wheelchair armrests.
Alyssa and Jeremy were taken aback. They sighed in relief once they saw Newton standing steady on his feet.
Newton walked over to them with the bouquet in his hands. He gazed kindly at Jeremy and asked, “I hope you don’t mind me paying your mother a visit?”
Jeremy shook his head gently, his breath catching in his throat.
Heartfelt tears filled Alyssa’s eyes as her lips drew into a smile.
