Simon reached down, grabbed him by the collar, and picked him up. His clenched fist was about to fall hard again!An imposing female voice suddenly rang. "Stop it!"The cold shout scared Sharon as she hurriedly went forward to grab Simon's hand just as he was about to beat Howard to death.She turned to look, and Penelope come over with a stern face."Are you guys crazy? Fighting in the Zachary household. Do you think I'm dead?" Penelope was furious, and her chest heaved with rage.Simon's raised fist slowly fell, but he still stared at Howard coldly and warned him, "She's my woman now. Don't you dare touch her again!"Howard's face was bruised. He was badly beaten, yet there was still reluctance hidden in his eyes.Penelope glanced coldly at Sharon. 'All for this woman again! Fiona's right, this woman is trouble!'Sharon pressed her lips together. She did not expect this to happen, and she had no idea it would get so serious.She was probably an unforgivable sinner in Penelop
She could not help but retort, "Bullsh*t! You were insulting me and forcing yourself on me!" She looked at Penelope and added, "If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance cameras to see if he forced himself on me!"There were surveillance cameras everywhere in the Zachary household, including the garage. Howard's lie would be discredited once they checked the surveillance footage."Jerk! You bullied my mommy again!" Sebastian got out from his mother's arms and ran over to hit Howard when he heard what she said."Sebastian, come to Grandpa." Douglas was afraid they would influence the child badly."Grandpa, you have to punish him. He bullied my mommy," said Sebastian as he angrily pointed at Howard."I'll punish him if he's at fault. Come here.""I want to be with Mommy." Sebastian ran back to his mother.Penelope looked at Howard again, but this time more sternly. "Howard, come clean!" She knew Simon. He would not attack his nephew unless Howard had done something w
"Wait. Who said you could take the child?" Douglas asked suddenly.Sharon's heart gave a little quiver. Before she could react, Douglas ordered, "Take the kid back to his room."Several maids immediately approached her and took the child from her.Sharon was shocked. "What are you doing? Get lost. Keep your hands off my child!"Sebastian also resisted the maids' approach. "Go away. I want to stay with Mommy!"Simon slammed the table and jumped to his feet. "Stop! I'll break the hand of whoever dares touch them!"The maids were too frightened to move and simply looked at each other.Simon walked over and picked the child up. "Sebastian, stay with your grandfather while your mother and I go away for a few days."Simon took the child to Douglas. "Dad, take care of the child. I'm moving out with Sharon."Sharon's eyes widened. 'Is he out of his mind? I can't leave the child in the Zachary household!'"Sebastian..." She wanted to take her son back.Simon stopped her. "Let's go."
She forcibly pulled back her hand, trying to suppress the soreness of her eyes as she refused to cry in front of him. She glared at him with red eyes. "Howard bullies me in the office and at home. You're also suspecting me of having some affair with him. Your sister dislikes me and wants to get rid of me. Okay, I'll go. But who is your father to take my baby? You even helped them to take my baby! Give me my baby back! Give him back!"She tried not to cry at first, but could not help it as she spoke. All her grievances and sadness rushed back to her. She clenched her fist and punched him on the chest, crying, "Give him back. Give Sebastian back to me!"Simon frowned deeply and let her fists pound on him as he stood still. When he saw her crying with tears in her eyes and looking like a wronged little girl, his heart stirred.Sharon had been depressed these days as she constantly felt like she was relying on the charity of the Zachary family. Thus, she had to be cautious when dealing
Simon gave her a thought-provoking glance and asked calmly, "How long do you think Sebastian can be separated from you?"Sharon was surprised; She and Sebastian had never been apart. She could not stay away from him, and he naturally could not live without her.Sebastian would make a scene if he did not see her, and she could not predict how far he would go.She suddenly understood why Simon said they would go away for a few days. Given how much Douglas doted on Sebastian, Douglas would surely relent if Sebastian continuously clamored for his mother.She looked sideways at the calm man. He had thought of all this beforehand. No wonder he brought her out without putting up a fight."Should I stay with my friend for a few days?" Though she said this, she was reluctant to stay away from her son for this period of time. She repeatedly looked out at the Zachary household through the window. 'Will he come running out? Or has his freedom been restricted?'She did not see her son come ou
Sharon's heart tightened. "We're only pretending to be husband and wife. No one from the Zachary family is here, so we don't need to pretend to be loving, do we?" 'Does he have to be so serious?'"Yes, we're married by contract, but the marriage license is real. Whether nominally or... physically, we're a real couple." He took her in his arms. His deep voice was spoken right into her ear, and she soon found her ears burning.Not only were Sharon's ears burning, her heart was beating a lot faster too. He was right, and she could not refute him at all.Her cheeks began to heat up, and she said in embarrassment, "The contract said we're only pretending to be husband and wife. Will... Will you stop acting so shamelessly!" Her silence did not mean she allowed him to be overly intimate with her over and over again!"Also, the contract did not say that you could kiss me. Please don't casually kiss..." In the middle of her sentence, the man lowered his head and kissed her on the lips."
Sharon finally understood after hearing that. Okay, it was to deal with his sister. She was overthinking it, she thought he was...She bit her lip. "Got it."The way Simon gazed at her provided some food for thought. "It's late. Wash up and go to bed."She was tired after the whole night. She did not expect that after being kicked out of the Zachary household, she would live with Simon in a room with only the two of them. She kept feeling a little uneasy.Sharon quickly finished her shower but did not see the man when she returned to the bedroom. She only heard a voice coming from the living room. It was him on the phone.She had no intention of listening in on his conversation to. She glanced at the man's bed. 'Am I going to sleep here?'He said his sister could come over any time. It would be hard to explain, so she would have to bear with this for now. They had a contract, so he probably would not misbehave himself.At the Zachary household, their son was always in the middle
Seeing her making a fuss, the man teased, "You've even bore me a child. What else is there to be ashamed of?"Sharon covered her eyes with her hands, not daring to take another look. "That's not the same!"She did not get a reply from the man, but the part of the bed next to her moved. Then the man reached over and pulled her into his arms. Plus, she opened her eyes in shock. He had changed into his nightrobe and was lying on the bed with his strong arms wrapped around her."How are you going to sleep with me in your arms?" She wanted to get out of his arms. She was not used to being cuddled as she slept as she usually held her son."Didn't you say you were afraid to sleep alone? Are you okay now that your hubby's cuddling you to sleep?" The man's deep melodious voice fell over.Sharon stiffened... 'Hub... Hubby?'"Well, I was a little afraid, but now I'm not. Let me go," she said with a dry smile."Hush, stop talking. Go to sleep." The man just got out of the bath, and the masc
