Love At The Right Price Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Tim paused for a moment and he turned around to look at Frank’s face quite intently. Then, he spokeup firmly. “Ever since I’ve grown to know the ways of life, I made a vow to protect my mom well. No onecan take me away from her. Even if you’re my dad and you treat me very well, if you do something tohurt Mommy someday, then I definitely will make you pay for it!”

Meanwhile, Frank remained silent as he kept his eyes on Tim’s face, which was pretty much a miniversion of his, and the former’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Indeed, Frank had contemplated more than once to leave with Tim, as he could provide his son withthe best things in life. If Tamara was after money, he could easily give her what she wanted. However, ifmoney wasn’t an issue for her, then he could help her exact revenge on Evan.

Furthermore, he had some other things in his possession that were special to Tamara, so she shouldreplace it quite hard to reject him.

However, right now, Frank couldn’t comprehend the reason why he suddenly decided to stay on.

He had sensed from the start that the close link between Tim and Tamara was something that he couldnever ever replace. It was an indescribable inbred trust and dependence, or to be more accurate, theirmutual symbiotic relationship.

Frank curved his lips into a smile and patted Tim’s head. “Tell me-what have you discovered?”

“I didn’t discover a thing.” Tim slumped against the seat dejectedly as he spoke in a glum voice. “It’sexactly because I didn’t discover a thing so I started to have suspicions.”

Truth was, Tim had actually met his grandmother and she had revealed all of Frank’s secrets. However,Tim wasn’t sure whether to let Frank know about all this. After all, Frank had kept his identity a secret

from Tamara, so Tim couldn’t help being worried about the man’s intentions.

At that point, Frank smiled without saying a word and he turned around to look at the boy.Subsequently, he spoke up solemnly. “Timmy, you’re my only son and someday you’ll get to know myidentity. However, the timing isn’t right yet. You just have to keep this in mind-you can always trust me,regardless of whether it’s right now or in the future. I’ll always be your dad.”

The father and son duo arrived home, only to replace that Tamara was not home yet. They gave her a calland she told them that she was socializing outside. She also asked them to start dinner without her.Meanwhile, Frank and Tim were slightly shocked and they exchanged looks with each other.Simultaneously, both of them took out their phones and planned to order some takeaway.

After the two of them had stuffed themselves to the brim, Tamara finally arrived back home quite late.She was relieved to replace that the duo had eaten their dinner.

Soon after that, she urged Tim to head to his room to get ready for bedtime. Then, she smilinglyhanded over an appointment form for a body checkup to Frank. “Tomorrow’s Saturday, so let’s go anddo a body check at the hospital.”

“A body check?”

At that point, Tamara spoke to him with a serious voice. “Frank, we did have an agreement on how wewere going to handle our relationship from the start. We’re both Timmy’s parents, so I have anobligation to replace out your health condition. Otherwise, how are you going to play your role as aresponsible father? I wouldn’t feel at ease to let Timmy be around you too.”

Tamara had considered this carefully for quite some time and in the end, she had decided to bring it upwith him. After all, she had heard rumors of how messy things were in his field of work, so there

was a chance that he might accidentally catch something.

However, before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt the air around her turn coldinstantaneously. At that moment, she felt as if she was currently within an icy cellar and she couldn’thelp shivering from the cold.

“Don’t overthink things. I-If you’ve caught a disease, then you should seek treatment as soon aspossible, right? I-It’s not a big deal. This is just to give both of us peace of mind. Tim will be attendingelementary school in two years’ time and he definitely needs your identification…” At that point, Tamaratried to explain herself, albeit stammeringly.

Before she could finish her sentence, Tamara could feel her lips suddenly being smothered by a pair ofsoft lips. Frank then gently nibbled on her soft lips and he wrapped his arms around her slender waistbefore moving in.

He kissed her quite domineeringly, and he plundered on slightly punishingly.

The air around them stilled and Tamara felt quite out of breath from the passionate kiss. After quitesome time, she finally managed to shove him off her.

Meanwhile, he responded in a calm voice, “I believe you’ll need to personally check me out and replace outwhether I’m in perfect health or not.”

As for Tamara, she tried to catch her breath and she remained frozen. At that moment, there was onlya single notion in her mind. In all her twenty years plus of life, this was the first time ever that she had akiss forced upon her.
