He looked sideways and fixed his dark gaze on the woman beside him. “I’m just thinking about how great I feel now.” That was why he did not want to fall asleep so soon. She laughed and said, “Why don’t you just say that it’s great to have me by your side?” He pinched her chin with his long, slender fingers and said, “I don’t know how to engage in sweet talk, but I can learn how to say the words that you want to hear from me.” Sharon shook her head and said, “It’s alright. It’s better if you just act normally.” “Do you mean that I’m acting abnormally right now?” He raised his brow as his handsome face inched closer to her. His narrowed eyes exuded a dangerous air. “I guess so,” she continued provoking him fearlessly. Simon’s heart twitched as he stared at her lovely, animated eyes. He recalled their breathtaking kiss just now, which he had not gotten enough of. He held her chin and lowered his head to kiss her. Sharon took in a deep breath and turned around to evade h
Sharon was awoken by the sound of a woman crying. When she opened her eyes, she realized that Simon was not beside her.The woman’s crying went on and off for a while. There were sounds of people talking as well, but she could not hear it clearly.She suddenly remembered that Bonnie was staying in the guest bedroom. Was Mrs. York crying? Did something happen to Bonnie?At the thought of this, she suddenly got up.She did not pause to think about why she cared so much about the baby.She left the master bedroom and entered the living room. Once she opened the door, she could clearly hear the sound of a woman crying. It was not Mrs. York. Diana was the one crying.From her cries, it seemed like she was extremely upset. “Why are you crying here early in the morning?” Sharon looked at Diana in confusion. Diana immediately wiped her tears away when she saw her. “Sorry, did I wake you up?” she asked in a choked voice.She noticed that Sharon was still in her sleeping gown. Her lon
Sharon could not help but think that Diana was being rather considerate toward Simon. ...Diana had been gone for three days. During these three days, Mrs. York and Bonnie stayed in the guest bedroom. Usually, Sharon would help to take care of the baby. Simon went to work and got off work as usual. After returning home, he would coax the baby. It seemed like the baby was closer to him. Sometimes, Sharon had the illusion that Bonnie was their daughter. They were a family... However, whenever she caught sight of Mrs. York sitting by the side, she instantly got pulled back to reality. This was not the baby she had given birth to...Sharon was in the garden to look for materials that she needed to formulate her fragrances today. There were all sorts of exquisite flora planted in the garden of the Zachary household. She recently got the idea of coming here to look for the materials that she needed. As soon as she walked into the garden, she caught sight of a stroller. Bonnie w
Simon was not at home. Therefore, Mrs. York rushed over to look for Sharon. Sharon poked her head out of the flowerbeds. Upon noticing the panicked expression on Mrs. York’s face, she walked out in confusion. “What happened?” “Little Miss Bonnie suddenly started vomiting and having diarrhea. I don’t know what happened to her, but if this continues, she definitely won’t be able to take it.”Sharon was shocked after hearing what Mrs. York said. She frowned and said, “She was alright when she was with me just now. How can this be?” She had even fed Bonnie some warm water just now. Bonnie had smiled at her back then. Everything seemed normal.She returned to the house with Mrs. York. Mrs. York shook her head and said, “I find it odd as well. She was alright just now. Why is she suddenly vomiting and having diarrhea?”“Prepare to leave at once. I’ll ask the butler to get the car ready. We’ll bring the baby to the hospital at once.” They could not handle an emergency situation like th
“Did you not do a good job of taking care of the baby just because Diana hasn’t been around?” Penelope reprimanded Mrs. York with a stony expression on her face.“I didn’t take good care of Little Miss Bonnie…” Mrs. York lowered her head and admitted to her mistakes. Just then, the door of the ward opened. The nurse told them that they could go in to consult the doctor.Diana went in first. It seemed like she was extremely worried about the child. She was in a hurry to see the child.Sharon and Simon exchanged a glance. Both of them then entered the ward.“Doctor, what illness does the baby have? Why is she vomiting and suffering from diarrhea?” Sharon asked.“Based on the medical report, the baby has eaten something unhygienic. She’s having a slight allergic reaction and acute gastroenteritis. She’s still way too young. Her immune system isn’t strong enough. That’s why she started vomiting and having diarrhea.”After the doctor finished speaking, Mrs. York said, “That’s imposs
Penelope’s words wounded the most vulnerable part of Sharon’s heart! On the surface, it seemed like she had gotten over the pain of losing her daughter, but that was just an illusion that she presented in front of everyone when in fact, she was numbing herself from all the pain and sorrow. She would think of her child whenever she saw Bonnie.How dare Penelope mention her child! A cold expression formed on her face as hatred and fury filled her gaze. “You’re the evil one here. You murdered my child!” Penelope’s heart froze when she caught sight of her hateful gaze. She recalled how Sharon had previously stabbed her to take revenge for her child. She should not trigger her emotions by mentioning her child. Simon noticed Sharon’s clenched fists and the slight tremble in her body. He took her hands in his and tried to unclench her fists in order to calm her down. He glared at Penelope coldly and said, “Stop talking.” He did not even dare to mention their child in front of
“Do you know how hard it is now? I took care of Sebastian on my own in the past.” Their son was all grown up now, so she had almost forgotten how hard it had been for her to raise him as a single mother. He hugged her tightly and lowered his head to kiss her on the forehead. “That’s why I don’t want you to suffer for our children anymore.” Sharon raised her head to look at him. She smiled and asked, “Are you feeling sorry for me?” “Of course. What else can it be?” She knew that he treated her well, but she still felt that Bonnie’s sudden illness was not as simple as it seemed. However, he had told her not to involve herself in Bonnie’s matters. Therefore, she would not involve herself in the incident. It was enough for her as long as he believed that she did not harm Bonnie. Diana sat in the backseat of the car with Bonnie in her arms. The baby had just fallen asleep. She pitied Bonnie for having to undergo such torment at such a young age. She suddenly could not be
Eugene had immediately headed to the Zachary household upon hearing that Simon had found Sharon. He would take her back to the Newton household regardless of what she said this time around. However, anger surged within him the moment he saw Diana and the child.“This is our family’s affair. What does it have to do with you?” Penelope questioned, protecting Diana.Eugene glanced at her and continued fixing his gaze on Simon. “Tell me. What do you mean by this? Do you intend to marry another woman? What do you take Shar for?”“Brother, don’t be so angry. Things aren’t as bad as you think they are.”Sharon knew that he was doing this for her sake, but he was being way too emotional right now.Eugene got angrier after hearing what she said. He glared at her in fury and asked, “I don’t know what’s going through your mind right now. Can you accept another woman sharing your man with you?”“Eugene Newton, don’t make things sound so bad,” Sharon called him out by his full name. She wis
