Tatiana said, "No! Don't think this way, Sean. I feel so blessed every day to be with you. I've neverfelt like I've suffered.”

Holding Sean's damp face, Tatiana panicked, and her eyes reddened. Each tear that rolled down hisface felt like a pit carved into her heart.

No one would know how strong Sean was more than she did. He had partnered with Jasper andAlyssa 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 painmust 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 memberof the Taylor family, the darling of Mr. Winston and Madam Lyla. Mr. Jonah and Ms. Alyssa hold youdear.

"I've witnessed your growth, the carefree days of your youth—licking lollipops, playfully hidingbehind Ms. Alyssa. It's etched vividly in my memory. If it weren't for me, your life would have beenmuch 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 thesethoughts, 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 theyhumiliated 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 fellagainst 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, herface 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 smallright.”

"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 howimportant you are to me.

"You are not allowed to say such negative things. I don't want to hear you talk about how you'verobbed me of my joy. I have a temper, you know, and I'm not afraid to use it. I am super scary whenI get angry.”

Tatiana pursed her lips reddened by the kiss. Her angry look had melted some of Sean's grievancesaway. He couldn't help but smile.

Tatiana became serious once more. "My family bestowed their blessings upon me. Now, theresponsibility lies with us to create our own happiness. So, don't feel that you've let me down. Idon'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. TakeMiley, the First Lady, for instance—she faced trials and tribulations before uniting with Jeremy. Atthat time, Jeremy was disliked by many for being significantly older and not in the best physicalhealth.

"Miley had to marry far away and accompany him on his political journey. My dad and Aunty Mandyposed 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 Mileywas right. Look at how well Jeremy treats her! He spoils her like a little girl. They had a rocky startbut 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. Idon'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 everagain.”
