Sharon freed herself from Simon’s fiery kiss with much difficulty. Her lips were already swollen from all the kissing.“Alright… I still need to rush to the airport,” she said softly.Simon fixed his dark gaze on her flushed face. His voice was slightly husky as he asked, “Are you really going to leave? Can you bear to leave me?”He was the one who suggested that she should go out and relax. He allowed her to leave as well. Right now, he was also the one who could not bear to watch her leave.Sharon was determined to leave. She nodded and said, “Yes, wait for me to come back.” She then pressed a kiss on his forehead....The airplane took off. It would bring her to somewhere far away from him.Sharon arrived at the academy where she had learned how to formulate fragrances in the past. She was here to look for her teacher, Ceylon Frank. They had not seen each other in a long time. “You’re here at the right time. I’m leading a team to develop a fragrance that helps to relieve
“Mother, how do you feel now?” Ceylon held his mother’s hand tightly. There was unconcealed anxiety on his face. It was hard for the old woman to breathe. She panted and spoke with much difficulty, “I think God is calling for me. Don’t be sad. This was bound to happen sooner or later. For me, it’s putting an end to my suffering.”“Mother…” Ceylon held her hand tightly. He was so devastated that he did not know what to say.The old woman tried her best to squeeze a smile at him. “My only regret is that I didn’t get to see you marry.” Her gaze landed on Sharon, who was standing behind him.“Is she your girlfriend?” The old woman’s eyes shone.Sharon wanted to tell her that she was not his girlfriend. She was just his student and friend. However, Ceylon suddenly pulled her over and admitted to it in front of his mother. “Yes, she’s my girlfriend. I should’ve brought her to see you a long time ago.”The old woman was delighted to hear this. “It’s alright… It’s the same if I meet he
Finally, the old woman was buried in the graveyard where she lay to rest forever.Everyone else left. Sharon and Ceylon were the only ones left. They stood in front of the tombstone. Ceylon stared at his mother’s tombstone. He was not willing to leave. There was a despondent expression on his face.Sharon did not know how to comfort him. She simply accompanied him silently.“I never told you that my mother was a single mother. She raised me all alone,” Ceylon suddenly told her about himself.Sharon did not say anything and only silently listened to him. “When I got older, I didn’t let her down. I had a good career, but I spent less and less time with her. She didn’t say anything about it, but I knew that she wanted me to spend more time at home. I was too busy with work, so I neglected her. “I only realized that I spent too little time with her when she fell sick.” He blamed himself as he spoke about it. “That’s why you must appreciate the people around you, Shar. Accom
When Simon arrived at the hospital, Diana and Mrs. York were already there with Bonnie. Diana’s eyes shone when she saw the tall and handsome man before her. She greeted him softly, “President Zachary…” She felt slightly bashful. Simon did not pay attention to the look on her face. He was only thinking about the child. “How’s the child?” he asked. “The doctor is still examining her.” Diana sensed the cold air that he gave off and instinctively took a step back. He still seemed as high and mighty as he had always been.Simon walked in front of the doctor straight away. Bonnie’s face was flushed red due to the fever. He pitied her.“The child has a high fever and a runny nose. She must be sick because of the changing seasons. You haven’t been taking good care of her. The weather is getting chilly nowadays, yet you’ve dressed her in such thin clothes,” the doctor said as he examined the child. A serious expression appeared on his face as he frowned at Diana and Mrs. York. He q
He sat down by the side and waited to see if there were any improvements to Bonnie’s condition.Bonnie burst out into tears again. Perhaps she was not willing to sleep just yet, or maybe she felt uncomfortable because she was sick.She would not stop crying no matter how much Diana and Mrs. York coaxed her. Simon frowned and got up. “Is she feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Shall we call the doctor?” Mrs. York looked at him. She did not know what to do as well. “I think we should call the doctor over to take a look at her. I’ll go call him over,” she said. After a brief pause, she said, “President Zachary, you’re her father. You should carry her. Perhaps she’ll stop crying.” She put the child in his arms.Ever since Diana appeared with the child, he had never carried her.Although he never had the intention to have a child with her, Bonnie was innocent. Furthermore, they both shared the same blood. At this thought, he reached out to take the baby girl in his arms.He carried the s
The black Maybach drove along the road to the Zachary household with the sky getting darker.Simon, who was in the car, had closed his eyes to get some rest. The little baby girl he was carrying had finally fallen asleep.No one spoke a word in the car and it was so quiet that it was rather intimidating.Suddenly, there was a car driving in the opposite direction that was just like an agile leopard, its headlights shining directly into their car. It made Simon abruptly open his hawk eyes.'What a dangerous feeling…'It was almost as though the car had suddenly fallen from the sky and was like a devil as it attempted to crash straight into their car at a high speed.The driver had not seen the car coming, hence he could not react in time. Instinctively, he quickly turned the steering wheel around and tried his best to evade the oncoming car."Watch out!" Simon immediately thought about his child and had Diana take care of his daughter.Diana saw that the cars were about to crash
Simon squinted his eagle-like eyes that glinted coldly. His facial features were so tense that he did not speak a single word.After Robert took a call, he said to Simon, "I just received the news. Our people spotted that car at the wasteland in the southern region. However, there’s no one in the car anymore. I’m guessing the driver must have abandoned it there and fled.”Simon, who was keeping quiet all this while, finally said slowly, "No hurry. Since they’re trying to get me, they’ll make another move after failing this time. We just have to wait and see.""I'll protect you throughout the day," Claude immediately said.Simon was not anxious and just tapped on Claude's shoulder, saying, "The enemy has already revealed their intentions, so I’m guessing they won't make another move for the time being."Mrs. York carried the little girl who was crying and came looking for Simon. She was utterly anxious without an idea what she should do next. "President Zachary, Little Miss Bonnie
"This is going to be troublesome. Little Miss Bonnie only wants you to coax her to bed," Mrs. York saw the scene and said worryingly."She's just a baby. How can she be this pampered? Carry her here and I'll coax her to sleep." Diana dared not have the baby take up Simon's time. She also did not dare to have Simon take care of the baby."No, the baby will certainly wake up and cry again…" Mrs. York was experienced in this regard.Diana did not believe her. Enduring the pain from the wounds on her back, she went ahead and carried the baby. "You just have to hand her to me."Simon did not believe that the baby would be so sensitive either. 'It’s impossible for her to know who’s the one carrying her when she's asleep.’ Hence, he let go of her.Right when Diana took the baby, she had yet to show a reaction. However, in just two to three seconds, she suddenly opened her eyes and started crying again when she sensed that it was no longer her father carrying her."Look, I already told y
