"Mane!!!" Nora kissed both of Daddy's cheeks.Sebastian returned the kiss affectionately and then ended it with a loving caress on Nora's cheeks."Study well. Be a good child. Be a good person.""Okay, Daddy!"Sebastian nodded and allowed Nora to get down with Sofia, but his hand never left his wife's hand. Tera, who was about to get down, was stopped by Sebastian. She looked at him in annoyance, completely indifferent and unresponsive to her husband.Sebastian, who was equally irritated, tried to contain himself. After all, he was the one who had caused their marriage to be like this. Tera was still mad at him for discussing Thomas Vic, especially his efforts to persuade her to make amends with her father. Tera had been firmly opposed to that idea, choosing to be silent and unresponsive to Sebastian for the past few days.Tera responded to Sebastian's every word half-heartedly. Even when Sebastian kissed her, Tera gave no response, and his passionate touches were met with silence.Th

Tera was flabbergasted by her husband's accusation, and heavy breaths escaped her lips. How could he accuse her of sneaking away from the guards and suspect that she was meeting someone who might be related to Brandon Dexter or Ramon Zhang? It was an old, repetitive tune. Tera hadn't been in contact with those men for a long time. Sebastian had sabotaged her phone by erasing all male contacts, leaving only Tora Vic's number.How could he think that she was meeting someone else when he himself had cheated by meeting his ex-girlfriend behind Tera's back? Viona was not just an ex-girlfriend but a woman who had made Sebastian cry and beg for forgiveness one painful night. He had come home in disarray, crying silently beside Tera, pretending to be asleep, and then apologizing for his foolishness. Sebastian had claimed that they hadn't done anything, and at that time, Tera had believed him. However, considering today's events, she couldn't return to being the naive woman who believed Sebast

"Darling, what's wrong? Are you still angry? Haven't I already apologized!?" Sebastian asked.Tera moved away from her husband's embrace. She had rejected his advances multiple times, but Sebastian continued to demand and press for what he believed she owed him from their morning arrangement at the school. Sebastian argued that regardless of her condition, he had the right to claim what he wanted from Tera. Ultimately, Tera had given in to Sebastian's persistence. However, this time, she responded with minimal enthusiasm. Her heart was numb, and her body lacked the desire she once had for her husband. Tera was emotionally detached.All she could think of was what she had witnessed throughout the evening and night. Tera couldn't erase those images from her mind. They kept spinning without end, and she couldn't bear it any longer. Instead of lying helplessly in bed after Sebastian's release, Tera decided to slip away from him, put on her scattered silk pajamas, and left Sebastian in sil

"Madam, the guard seems to be relaxed. Maybe it's time."An employee of Heritage whispered to Tera, giving her information about the condition of the guard who had been trailing her since she left Nora's school.Tera pretended not to know anything and continued her journey as if nothing was amiss. She never once looked back to signal that she knew the man's presence. Tera carried on with her activities as if nothing had changed.She went to Heritage, one of the spas and salons she often visited after becoming Mrs. Lim, with her newfound wealth. Heritage was an elite place where upper-class women received body treatments. Sebastian had introduced Tera to Heritage, and Mrs. Chow - the owner. This allowed Tera to visit whenever she pleased without making appointments in advance. She could even invite Heritage's services to the Lim family's home if she didn't have time to go to the salon.Tera knew most of Heritage's employees and had developed a good relationship with the supervisor, eve

Wilson carried a tray with a glass of traditional elixir he had successfully prepared in a short amount of time. He had followed all the instructions given by the master herbalist, even if it was only through a phone call. Wilson smiled, pleased with the result that matched the master's guidance.He headed towards Da Lao's office with a light and confident step. He intended to provide the best remedy to counteract the effects of the aphrodisiac Viona had mixed into Sebastian's food."Sir, what should we do with the woman?" the head servant asked as Wilson passed by them.Wilson glanced into his office. It seemed the room was now occupied by several guards who were keeping Viona under tight surveillance. They had her completely restrained, and she appeared panicked and terrified, unable to resist, surrounded by the imposing guards."Close the door to my office. Don't let anyone see her in that condition, and wait for further orders from Da Lao Ban. Don't do anything to her! Understand?
