“Since both of you have a daughter together, why didn’t you get married to him?” he asked in confusion. “Must we get married because we have a child?” she asked in an even tone. Without waiting for his questions, she said, “Our relationship ended in the past. We’re only in contact now because of our daughter.” Asher felt much more at ease after hearing what she said. That was right. It was all in the past. Why should he mind it so much? After listening to what she said, it seemed like she only cared about her daughter. She had nothing to do with Eugene Newton. “Let me meet your daughter one day.” He suddenly requested. “Don’t worry, you’ll meet her sooner or later. I’ll tell her that you took good care of me during my years abroad,” she said with a smile. Asher was filled with curiosity. What did the daughter that Eugene and she shared look like? “Aren’t you going to drive?” Fern reminded him. “Ah… I’ll start the car now.” He immediately started the car after re
The next morning, Manager Chad called for Fern after she arrived at the company. “Fernia, sit down.” Manager Chad greeted her and told her to sit down on the sofa. After she sat down, Manager Chad poured her a cup of freshly brewed coffee. “Come on, have a taste of this coffee. I just bought these coffee beans.” “Thank you.” Fern took a sniff of the coffee’s fragrant scent and took a sip from the cup. “How’s it?” Manager Chad asked with a smile on his face. She nodded and said, “These are good coffee beans.” “Haha, you know your coffee well.” Manager Chad chuckled. He placed a document in front of her and said, “Take a look. This is the task that the executives have assigned to you.”Fern picked up the document and looked at it. She then frowned. “Newton Corporation’s investment project?”“That’s right. President Lawrence obtained this project after he personally met up with President Eugene. They need you to help out in the collection and analysis of data. After tha
The secretary opened the door for her. “Go on in. President Eugene is waiting for you inside.”“Thank you.” She tightened her grip on the document folder in her hands and took a deep breath before walking in.The spacious office had a nice view of the city below. Eugene was sitting on his office desk. He had removed his suit jacket and was just wearing a dark-colored shirt. Meanwhile, his tie was pulled up impeccably against his collar.He was extremely serious when he worked. He exuded a mature charm with each and every move that he made.She walked over and said, “Nice to meet you, President Eugene. I’m Miss Fernia from Splendor Investment Bank. I’ve received the investment plan from Newton Corporation and I’m here for the follow-up on the plan.”Eugene raised his eyes to look at her after hearing her clear voice.She was dressed in a business suit skirt today. Her hair was pulled up into a bun behind her head. She gave off a remarkable sense of confidence. She was extremely di
There was a gash on Fern’s forehead when Eugene carried her out of the car. She was unconscious and bleeding badly. “Fernie!” Eugene had a dark expression on his face, and his gaze was filled with anxiety. Fern wanted to say something, but she was overcome with extreme dizziness. Eugene carried her and took large strides toward his car. “Start the car!” he shouted at Wyatt. “Yes!” Wyatt knew that he wanted to head to the hospital.“President Eugene…” President Shaw rushed over. “This must be an accident. That car…” Eugene interrupted him with a cold expression on his face. “This project ends here.” “No… President Eugene…” President Shaw was extremely panicked. However, he could not change Eugene’s mind now.Eugene carried Fern into the car. He then brought her to the hospital. “Her head is seriously injured. She’s showing signs of a concussion. She needs to be hospitalized for observation,” the doctor told Eugene after inspecting Fern’s wound.Eugene frowned and nod
Eugene extended his arm to press her down by the shoulders. “Don’t move around. The doctor said that you’re showing signs of a slight concussion.”Fern lay down obediently and asked, “A concussion?” She did not expect her condition to be so serious.“There was a problem with the car. It suddenly went out of control while I was driving.” She recalled what had happened.“I know.” There was an impassive expression on his face.“I think that an investment in this project comes with great prospects, but you should invest in another company—” “This project is suspended. You should rest first. There’s no hurry for you to complete your work,” Eugene interrupted her words. Fern nodded after registering his words. “Alright.” Sydney felt that she was being completely ignored as she stood by the side. Were they in contact for work purposes? “Eugene, you should go back to work if you’re still busy. I can stay here to look after Fernie. Anyway, I’m free now,” Sydney said in a soft and ge
Eugene looked at Sydney as she spoke to him cautiously outside the car. They had already been married for three years but she was still extremely careful in front of him. He frowned and said, “I got it. I’ll clear my schedule tomorrow.” Sydney was overjoyed after hearing what he said. She then asked, “Can you come back and pick a present for him with me in the afternoon?” “Sure,” Eugene nodded. He never rejected any of her requests as long as they were within his capabilities. Sydney watched as he left in his car. She was not truly happy about it. However, Mrs. Neal was extremely happy. “That’s great! We have an opportunity tomorrow. You need to make good use of your chance.”Sydney looked at her mother, feeling slightly worried. “Mom, do we really need to do this?” Mrs. Neal reprimanded her with a firm expression on her face. “Are you afraid? You’ll be at a disadvantage for your entire life if you lose out on this opportunity. You’ll only be able to secure your positi
Mrs. Neal glared at her and immediately told Eugene, “The tea may not taste good, but it’s beneficial for your health. If you can’t finish it… just take a few more sips.” She was afraid that the drug would not be effective enough if he drank too little of the tea. “I’ll drink it,” Eugene said in an even tone. However, he put down his cup. Mrs. Neal felt extremely anxious. She wanted to convince him to drink more of the tea but Sydney pulled her over to her seat and made her sit down. “Mom, sit down and eat. You don’t need to serve us.” If she continued convincing him to drink the tea, Eugene would definitely think that there was something wrong with the tea. “Alright… Alright…” Mrs. Neal said.During the meal, the mother and daughter kept paying attention to how much of the tea Eugene had drunk. Instead of finishing the tea, he simply took two to three sips of it as a show of respect to his mother-in-law. After dinner, Eugene picked up a call. He had to leave as there wer
Sydney had been married to him for three years. He had never once touched her, let alone kissed her. What was more absurd was the fact that they still slept in separate rooms at night.She knew that he only promised to marry her because of Old Master Newton’s request. Initially, she thought that it would be enough as long as she could marry him and be his lawfully wedded wife. However, she could not be satisfied with just this now. After Fern’s return, she spent each and every second worrying that he would be snatched away by her. She was afraid that she would not be able to secure her position as his wife. If she could get pregnant with his child tonight, he would not abandon her for their child’s sake. “Eugene…” she murmured.Her voice made him raise his head all of a sudden. He fixed his dark eyes on her. She opened her eyes in confusion. She stared at his handsome face as she asked him softly, “What’s wrong?” “Sydney?” Eugene returned to his senses as he stared at
