“Your legally wedded husband is right here. Why do you have to ask anyone else?” With those words, he carried her into the attached washroom.Sharon took a deep breath, feeling conflicted. They were legally married, sure, but he was still a man and she was a woman…Simon carried her into the washroom and carefully put her onto the toilet. Looking into her eyes, he said in a low voice, “Can you do it yourself?”His words sounded so suggestive to her ears, yet he kept such a straight face!Her face heated up. She could not be as natural as he was, so she hurriedly waved him off, saying, “Don’t worry, I can handle this here.”Simon did not attempt to push the envelope any further. He straightened up and said, “Alright then, be careful.”However, he just stood in front of her without moving. He made no indication of leaving, either. Was he going to just stand there and watch?Sharon was embarrassed out of her mind. “C-Could you go out for a bit?”Simon was only staying here because
She smelled the food and could not help swallowing. Her stomach growled in accordance as well. Simon heard everything on the side. Looking back at her, he curled his lips into a superficial smile. “Hungry?”It was normal for one’s stomach to growl when a person was hungry. She felt embarrassed that he heard this. She pursed her lips and smiled. “Yeah, I'm hungry.”The man's slender and clean hands filled a white porcelain bowl with oatmeal for her before putting her favorite ravioli in front of her. “Here.”She was so famished that her chest was pressing against her back. She forgot that she had a cut on her hand when she saw the food. When she was about to pick up the bowl of oatmeal, she felt a piercing pain in her wrist. Her hand trembled, and she almost knocked the bowl over.The stab wound on her wrist was deep and wide. The evildoer had wanted her dead, so that was why they were so violent. She could not hold anything with her right hand for the time being.Meanwhile, she ha
His fingers were slightly cold. His behavior was too amorous, and she could not bear such ambiguity.She pushed his hand away in a bewildered manner and chuckled at him. “Um… Aren’t you going to the office? You don't need to worry about me, just go and do your thing.”After his hand was pushed away and he spotted a trace of panic in her eyes, the man's persistently stern facial features tightened. The message her actions conveyed to him was that she still resisted him…He had lived for 30 years. For the first time ever, he had the idea of conquering her. He wanted to live in her heart and wanted this woman to belong to him whether it was her body or her mind.However, he also understood that some things could not be done in a hurry. Otherwise, he would only scare her. It would be best to take things slow.The expression on the man's face did not change too much, so Sharon could not tell what he was thinking about. However, his gaze on her was more intimidating than before.Afte
Sharon was enthralled when she was thinking about it. Then, the phone on the side table vibrated suddenly, pulling her back to reality.She looked at it. It was Simon's personal phone. He left it for her and asked her to call her son.When she saw that the caller was Franky, she frowned slightly. This was Simon’s phone, so she should not answer it. However, Franky seemed to have something important to tell him and he kept on calling.She hesitated. She should answer it and at least tell him that Simon had gone to the office.As soon as Sharon hit the answer button, Franky's eager voice sounded. “President Zachary, are you okay?”One could not blame him for sounding so anxious. Simon rarely let the phone ring for so long.Sharon cleared her throat. “Um, Franky, it's me.”Franky was startled when he heard a woman's voice. Why was a woman answering President Zachary’s phone?After he realized that this woman was Sharon, he suddenly said, “Oh, Ms. Zachary. Is the president with you
Sally was standing in front of the French window in the room. She was talking to someone when her voice suddenly went up a pitch. “What did you say? She’s not dead?”There was a rough male voice on the other end of the phone. “We did it, but she didn’t die and was saved. We couldn’t help it as well. When will you pay us the amount you promised?”Sally grasped her phone tightly, her hands shaking with anger. She even burst out swearing, “She’s not dead so just what exactly have you done for me? You still have the nerve to ask me for money?”“We kidnapped her just as you said and slit her wrists. Who would have thought that someone would save her so soon? Besides, I also sacrificed two of my men. That’s two lives, so you can't give us any less!” The man was also very tough.“What does it matter to me if any of you die? You can’t even execute this well, so they deserve this even if they died! I’m telling you, I will only give you this amount. Nothing else!” Sally scolded the man fierc
Sharon respected him, but she did not know how to please others.Maybe it was because they had parted for a while, so the little guy was very clingy. After eating, he pestered her to build a model aircraft with her.Sharon was a little overwhelmed. She lay on the sofa in the room and did not want to move. “I'm tired, so I’ll just watch you play.”Sebastian pressed his lips together. “If Dad were here, he would build it with me.” The little guy's eyes lit up. “Mommy, can you call Dad to ask him when he’ll be back?”Upon seeing the little guy’s pleading eyes, Sharon naturally could not bear to refuse him. It seemed that when she was away from home, Simon and her son had bonded pretty well.Simon later bought her a new phone and applied for a new SIM card as well. Her lost phone could not be retrieved anymore.“Okay, I'll call him.” It was so late and he was still not back yet. She was inexplicably worried about him.Sharon’s new phone only had Simon’s number on it, and she dialed
“We’re in the hotel. If you have any urgent matters, I’ll have him call you back when he comes out.” Rebecca’s tone was not one a secretary should be speaking in.Sharon’s expression changed slightly, but she said, “No need. It’s not something urgent. You don’t have to tell him. That’s all.” She hurriedly hung up, not wanting to hear Rebecca Lawrence’s voice utter another word.They were at a hotel? Simon was still showering?Was he clocking overtime in a place like that?Sharon could not control her own thoughts.Why was it that the moment she thought of these things, her chest made it seem that it was hard for her to breathe? Also, what was with that sour feeling?Why did she care so much about whether he was in a hotel room with Rebecca?If he really was spending time with Rebecca in such a place, it was a good thing for Sharon. In the agreement they signed, whoever brought up divorce first was in breach of the agreement, so the child would go to the other party instead.Reb
Rebecca kept staring at him until he spoke. Only then did she return to her senses. “Yes…” Her eyes glinted. She had lied just now, so she could only continue now.Simon’s brows furrowed. “Get out.” His words carried no warmth.Looking at the man’s cold expression, Rebecca’s heart twisted violently. A strong sense of hurt and indignance welled up in her heart. Something came over her, and she suddenly lunged over to hug the man. “Simon, can you not be so cold to me? We’ve known each other since we were little. You weren’t like this to me in the past.”Simon’s gaze froze and turned colder. His face was even a little impatient, but he did not push her off immediately.Rebecca stuck her face to his chest. Listening to his powerful heartbeat, every nerve in her body was affected.“I don’t believe that you don’t feel a thing for me…” She hugged him tight, stood on her tiptoes, and boldly reached to kiss him!However, before her lips could come close, the man suddenly moved. Without an
