After returning to her senses, Sharon saw Penelope’s blood staining her hands. She jolted up in shock when she realized what she had done.She had really stabbed Penelope Zachary with a knife!At that moment, she had been overcome with hatred. She simply wanted to kill Penelope to take revenge for her daughter!However, she was now afraid. She knew that no matter how much she hated Penelope, she did not actually have any intention to kill her.Nevertheless, she had lost control over her emotions. Was she… going to become like her mother?No… she did not want to go crazy! Simon realized that she was trembling all over. She seemed to be extremely frightened. He immediately wrapped her into his arms. “Don’t be afraid. It’s alright.”“Simon, I’m… sorry…” She could only apologize to him. She was not apologizing for hurting Penelope but because she had made him worried.“You never need to say sorry to me.”“Simon, I don’t want to be like this. I don’t want to be like my mother.” Fe
The next day, Penelope insisted on getting discharged from the hospital. She wanted to return to the Zachary household with Diana and the child.“You know what to say later, right?” Penelope asked Diana when the car arrived at the Zachary household.Diana was carrying a baby girl in her arms. At first sight, one could tell that the adorable baby had just been born not too long ago.Director Zachary had made her the mother of this baby girl. She also told her that she had to tell everyone that this child belonged to Simon and her.She felt extremely anxious, but when she thought of her ill mother who was in need of money to receive treatment, she agreed to take the risk.“I know,” Diana said as she lowered her head.“Yes, you have to speak to President Zachary with a pitiful expression on your face just like that.” Penelope was positive that Sharon would leave this time around.Simon was accompanying Sharon in the living room. He was surprised when the butler told him that his si
Sharon looked at the baby girl. She had a small face, rosy cheeks, curled lashes, and a delicate nose. She was sleeping soundly in her swaddle. The baby girl’s facial features really resembled Simon’s…Somehow, a sense of adoration arose within her when she saw the baby. She wanted to love and cherish this child.Was she feeling that way toward someone else’s child because she had just lost her own child?If this were Simon and Diana’s child, she should find it hard to accept her. Nevertheless, she was exceptionally calm. She even felt like getting close to this child.“Are you not going to look at the child?” Sharon turned around to look at Simon.There was a stiff expression on Simon’s face. He was sure that this child did not belong to him. Therefore, he did not want to look at her.“No.” He rejected her immediately.“Simon, how can you treat your own child like that? Although Diana is her mother instead of the woman you like, the child is innocent. Even if you aren’t willi
“I don’t have other intentions. I just want to take a look at her.” She spoke from the bottom of her heart. “It’s late. You’d better rest. You can look at her after the result of the paternity test comes out tomorrow.”Sharon thought that her actions were rather odd as well. The baby was not her child, but why was she so attached to her?Eventually, she listened to him. “Alright.”She did not sleep well that night. She dreamed of the child that she had lost once again.The next day, Claude personally brought the results of the paternity test to the Zachary household.Everyone gathered around when he handed the results to Simon. They waited for him to read it.Sharon seemed extremely calm. Penelope kept staring at Sharon, a cold and mocking glint appearing in her gaze. Diana sat down beside Penelope with the child in her arms. She lowered her head. She seemed extremely weak and powerless.Simon took out the paternity test report. The results were beyond his expectations. He t
Simon stared at her. He did not understand how she could be so calm right now.Did she not mind that child’s identity at all?“What do you want me to do?”Sharon lowered her eyes to look away from him. “Since she’s your daughter, you need to acknowledge her. Otherwise, do you want her to wander the streets?”“Alright, I’ll acknowledge her as my daughter. I’ll make Diana move somewhere else. From today onward, she’ll be our child.” He planned to do as she said in hopes that she would feel better.“Stop saying such silly things. How can she be our child? She has a mother. You can’t separate her from her mother. That’s cruel to the child and to Diana since she’s the mother.”“Nothing I do is right. What do you want me to do, then? Do you want me to acknowledge both of them?” Although Simon had a good temper, it had reached its limit right now. The way she spoke made it seem like she was pushing him toward another woman.Sharon remained quiet at that. After some time, she said, “I
“That's right. It’s all my doing. I drugged your food once. While you were unconscious, I asked a doctor to collect your semen,” Penelope said. Simon was infuriated. “How dare you!”He had not slept with Diana. His sister had impregnated Diana using his semen! “I’m doing this for the sake of the Zachary family. Sharon can’t bear a child and you aren’t willing to have a child with another woman. I had no choice but to find someone else to bear your child. At least, there’s one more child in the Zachary family now.”Penelope understood her brother well. If she did give him such an explanation, he would definitely look into the child’s birth and identity.“This is ridiculous! Let me tell you this. I can acknowledge the child, but I don’t need to take responsibility for Diana and I won’t! After some time, I’ll make her leave.”Simon did not care about the benefits that his sister must have given Diana. He would only have one woman in his life. He would not acknowledge Diana just be
Sharon did not mind the stain on her shirt. When she saw Diana taking the child back into her arms in a hurry, she said, “She’s still small. She can’t digest well, so you shouldn’t feed her too much.”“I… I’ll make sure to pay attention.” Diana was still extremely anxious in front of her. She was just like a mistress facing the real lady of the house.Sharon knew that Diana did not know how to take care of children since she was a new mother. She looked at Simon, who was seated opposite her, and said, “Diana can’t take care of the child alone. You should hire an experienced nanny to help her out.”Simon thought that she would be unhappy at the sight of Diana and the child after coming downstairs. However, he did not expect her to ask him to hire a nanny to take care of them. What a generous woman! Did she not mind the existence of Diana and the child at all? There was a heavy expression on his face. He spoke in a cold voice, “That’s my child. I’ll make the appropriate arrangem
Simon stared at her with a heavy gaze. Even their son could not accept such a thing. How could she…Sharon clenched her hands into fists under the table. After a while, she said, “Why isn’t he allowed to do so? I can’t bear a child for him. Why should I stop him from having a child with someone else?” Her heart hurt when she spoke... “Is that what you really think?” Simon stared at her.It was no wonder that she did not mind Diana and the child at all!“You may allow him to do so, but I won’t! I’d rather not have a sister at all!” Sebastian thought that this was unfair to his mother. He did not want a sibling with a different mother! “Daddy, if you really love my mommy, ask this woman to leave with her child at once!” Sebastian directly expressed his aversion toward them!“Sebastian, stop causing a ruckus.” Sharon did not expect her son to react so strongly to the situation. “Mommy, what’s wrong with you? Is Daddy not your one true love?” How could she tolerate the presence
