Dayton was right. Soon enough, Simon arrived.He had brought an entire troop of bodyguards with him. The bodyguards were all clad in black. From their stance, it seemed like they were ready to start a battle with Dayton at any time to rescue Sharon. At the sight of them, Dayton did not feel anxious at all. He raised his brow and teased Simon, “President Zachary, you flatter me by bringing so many men over.” Simon’s flawless face remained impassive. He fixed his dark and sharp gaze on Dayton. He did not want to listen to his nonsense. “Hand my woman back to me.” Dayton laughed nonchalantly and said, “Look at the way you’re wording things. You make it seem like I snatched your woman from you.” He shrugged and continued to speak. “I think that you’ve misunderstood things. I simply invited her over. I have no intention of snatching her from you.” Simon had seen the video of Dayton’s men kidnapping Sharon. He did not think that he merely invited her over. “Hand her over to
“Of course not…” “Don’t you want to take care of your daughter anymore?” he asked. Sharon’s heart lurched as she looked at him in a stunned manner. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, “Have you seen the results of the paternity test?”“I’ve seen it.” The tone of his voice remained flat.His reaction caused anxiety to surge within her. “Bonnie…”“She’s our daughter.” His voice was calm, but his words shocked her thoroughly.He said that she was their daughter! She suddenly grabbed hold of his hand. “Bonnie is our daughter? I’m her biological mother?” She needed confirmation.Simon looked straight into her eyes and said, “The results of the paternity test show that you’re her biological mother.” Sharon’s heart raced as she murmured softly, “I’m her mother…” An inexplicable surge of emotions rose up within her. She felt like laughing and crying at the same time! She wanted to beam, but she cried out the moment she opened her mouth, “Simon, is she the baby I thought I
Quincy listened to Sharon’s advice once again. She did not cause a ruckus or try to run away. She was willing to accept treatment from the doctor as well.“The wounds on her arms and legs have been bandaged. However, her wounds are extremely serious, so she can't get hurt anymore. Otherwise, she’ll not be able to use her limbs anymore,” the doctor told Sharon after he finished treating her wounds. “You heard what the doctor said, right? You can’t tie her up with a metal chain anymore,” she told Dayton, who was standing a short distance away. Dayton had not said a single word the entire time. His brows were tightly furrowed when he saw the doctor treating Quincy’s wounds. He had gotten a clear look at all her injuries. Her wounds were so deep that they almost reached her bones. She got these wounds because she had struggled too hard after getting restrained by him with the metal chains. While the doctor was bandaging her wounds, it hurt so much that Quincy bit her lip till it b
“You don’t need to say anything. It has been decided,” Hayley said. She huffed loudly and left. Quincy’s lips twisted into a sarcastic smile as she stared at Dayton, asking, “Do you want to marry me that badly? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll stab you to death in the middle of the night after we get married?” Dayton stuffed one of his hands into his pocket and said, “Do you think that I’ll allow something like that to happen? Take care of your injuries. Don’t do anything foolish or cause a ruckus.” He then told Sharon, “Continue counseling her.” He then turned around and left. He had to discuss his marriage with his aunt. Once he turned around, Quincy grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. “You should give up! I’d rather die than get married to you!” The pillow crashed into Dayton’s back. Although the pillow did not hurt, her words did. He turned around and sneered at her, “You don’t have the right to reject!” After that, he left with large strides. “You… How despicable!”
“I’m here to tell you that her emotions are still pretty unstable. I’ve prepared scented candles so that nothing will happen when she sees you later for dinner.”Sharon then opened the box in her hands. “These scented candles contain my signature fragrances. They’ll calm one’s emotions down. You should ask someone to light them up and place them in the dining room.” Dayton looked at the scented candles in her hands. He raised his brow and asked, “Will this work?” “You don’t believe me? Fine.” She covered the box and proceeded to leave. “Hey, hold up,” Dayton called out to her. He then waved his hand and called over the servants. “Do as she says.” However, Sharon was not willing to give him the candles now. “You don’t believe me, so I’d better keep them for someone who needs them.” “I believe you, I believe you. Is that enough?” Dayton had gotten enough of her. “What kind of attitude is that?” Sharon asked as she cast a sideways glance at him. Dayton took in a deep b
She reached out and tried to pick up her fork, but she felt severe pain in her arm the moment she raised it. She took a deep breath and tried to withstand the pain as she lifted the fork. However, she did not manage to hold it. The fork fell to the ground at once. One of the servants picked up the fork from the floor and gave her a new one. Quincy was extremely upset. Could she not even lift a fork on her own?Dayton Night was the one who had inflicted all of these injuries on her! “Your hand is badly injured. You’d better not try to eat on your own. Tell me what dishes you’d like to eat,” Sharon told her when she saw her struggling to eat on her own. “Push her over here,” Dayton told the servants. His heart lurched when he thought about the injuries on her arm and how Quincy could not even lift a fork on her own. Before Quincy could reject him, the servants did as he said. They pushed her to the empty space beside Dayton. Alarm bells rang out in her head as she glar
The garden was rather chilly late at night. Quincy sneezed. Dayton realized that she was dressed in thin clothes. He took off his coat and instinctively covered her with it. “It’s alright, let’s just head back. Your body may not be able to take it.” Quincy felt a warm sensation on her shoulders. His body warmth still lingered on his coat. She wanted to take it off and give it back to him immediately. However, her hand stopped when she took hold of the coat. She remembered what Sharon had told her. She should endure it for the time being. Dayton sent her back to her room. She did not say anything to him on their way back. “You’d better rest earlier.” He did not know what to say to her either. The cold expression on her face made her seem extremely distant. “Wait,” Quincy suddenly called out to him.He turned around and looked at her in confusion. “You…” She clenched her hand into a fist and said, “Read a book for me. I can’t fall asleep.” Dayton looked at her in st
After a while, he let go of her and stood up straight. He stuffed one of his hands into his pocket as an ambiguous smile formed on his lips. “I can stand guard over you while you sleep, but you must remember this. I’m not your bodyguard anymore. I’m your future husband.” Quincy took a sharp breath. Her future husband? He could only imagine! “In your dreams.” She pulled the sheets up around herself, closed her eyes, and ignored him.She was actually carefully listening to his movements. She did not hear the sound of his footsteps leaving the room. Instead, she felt him sitting down on the sofa next to her. Her racing heart calmed down. It was fine as long as he did not leave.Dayton wanted to leave after she fell asleep, but he gradually felt more and more exhausted.He leaned on the single-seater couch and closed his eyes with a fuzzy mind. He then fell asleep.Sometime later, the room fell silent. Quincy turned around to look at him. He was asleep on the couch.“Dayto
