Douglas was so angry that he could not bring himself to look at the sight. “How shameless she is, having relations with another man behind Simon’s back! I’ll drag her out right now!” Fiona replied eagerly as she walked toward the bathroom. Just then, a figure came out of the bathroom. It was Simon, who only had a towel around his waist. Water dripped from his sculpted chest, and his hair was still damp as well. When he saw his father, sister, and sister-in-law, he frowned and asked, “Why did you enter without my permission?” Fiona was shocked when she saw that it was Simon. Her eyes widened as she was rendered speechless. How could it be him? How was it possible that the man Sharon was having relations with was Simon? No! That was not right! It was not what she had planned! The father-daughter duo was also surprised when they saw Simon walk out of the bathroom, but they were not as shocked as Fiona. Douglas furrowed his brows together as he stared at Simon and asked in
It was Sharon. Unable to stand it any longer, Douglas bellowed, “Femme fatale! She really is a femme fatale!” Pointing his cane at Simon, his voice quivered as he said angrily, “I don’t want to see her anymore. You’d better make her move out of the Zachary household. Either that or the two of you get divorced!” Douglas was furious, but he still had his young grandchild Sebastian in mind. That was why he had only asked Sharon to leave the Zachary household and did not force Simon to divorce her. He did not want what had happened the last time to happen again. His little grandchild had made such a fuss and nearly injured himself when he fell out of the tree. He did not want to see Sharon, and the best way to handle things was to have her move out of the house and only return when she wanted to meet the child. If there was a way, he hoped that the child would never have to go near a mother like that again. However, that seemed impossible with the way things were currently. Pen
When Simon returned to the bathroom, he saw that Sharon had nearly submerged her entire person into the bathtub which was filled to the brim with water! He stared at her as he strode over. She could not be left alone for one second in her condition. Frowning, he fished the woman out of the water and said exasperatedly, “Do you have a death wish?” No one expected the woman to retaliate when she left the cool water. Batting away the man’s hand, she submerged herself back into the tub. Simon frowned as he stood by the bathtub and stared at the woman. He could not leave her here, and submerging her in cold water was not the way to solve matters. Ignoring the woman’s protests, he fished her out of the bathtub and wrapped her securely with a towel.“Listen to me if you don’t want to continue feeling this discomfort!” The man placed his lips right next to her ear as he spoke in a low voice, stopping her mid-action. Taking the whining woman in his arms, he left the room and walked
Simon stood and returned to the bathroom. There, he lay in the bathtub and took her into his arms. Howard had hurried off before the party even started, and he found himself unable to forget what Sharon had said. What finally caused him to leave the party was when Sharon said, “Sally loves to boast so much, but why didn’t she attend the anniversary celebration with you?” The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Without even telling his mom, he left the party. He drove back to where they lived. When the nanny saw him hurry in with a dark expression on his face, she asked confusedly, “Young Master Howard, why did you come back at this hour?” “Where’s Sally? Is she in the bedroom?” He turned and walked toward the room. The nanny said hurriedly, “The young madam isn’t home. She’s gone out.” Howard stopped mid-step and narrowed his eyes as he turned. He asked in a deep voice, “It’s late. Where did she go?” “The young madam said she has a heada
Howard was led to the door of the doctor’s office by the driver. As he stared at the closed door, his eyes widened and negative thoughts started running through his mind. Was Sally inside having a lovers’ rendezvous with the male doctor? Why else would the door be shut? The expression on his face darkened as he pushed the door open without knocking. When he entered, he saw a male doctor sitting at the table. There was no sight of Sally. Howard narrowed his eyes, asking, “Where’s Sally?” Wayne disguised the panic in his eyes as he forced himself to ask calmly, “You’re looking for Ms. Luke? Are you a family member?” “I’m her husband!” Howard gave the doctor a once-over but found nothing odd about him. “Oh, so you’re her husband. She wasn’t feeling well, so I prescribed her some medicine and got her to lie down for a bit over there.” There was a curtain at the back of the office, which covered and partitioned off a sickbed used to examine patients. “Howard, is that you?”
This was the doctor Sharon had mentioned… Was Sally not here for a doctor’s appointment but a date instead?Howard’s hands curled into fists at the thought. He nearly barreled himself over to punch Wayne, but he managed to stop himself. His breathing quickly turned labored. Wayne’s heart began beating faster as Howard stared at him, but he did not let his smile falter. “Young Master Howard, may I help you?” Sally could tell there was something wrong with him too and immediately asked, “What’s wrong, Howard?” Forcing down his anger, Howard told himself that he could not act impulsively. He had no proof that Sally was indeed having an affair with this male doctor. He would not be able to deal with her if she denied everything.He silently retracted his gaze and said, “Nothing, let’s go.” Now that he had found Wayne, it would be easy for him to find out if anything fishy was going on between the two of them, right?Sally could not help but feel that Howard was being a bit odd
“We did everything we were supposed to last night,” the man abruptly interrupted her and uttered such a shocking statement in a calm manner.Sharon felt her entire body tense up as she widened her eyes and stared at him in disbelief. “We… We…” She felt embarrassed and helpless at the same time. Did they really sleep together last night?Why did she have no memory of that, though? A shadow loomed over her as the man bent down and positioned himself on top of her. As he leaned forward, he seemed to be holding back an evil smile. He said, “Last night, you…” Sharon’s back bumped against the bed frame as she stared unblinkingly at the man’s handsome face that was magnified before her eyes. Her heart began racing again as she said, “I… What did I say?” She watched as the look in the man’s eyes turned unreadable. Using a long finger to tilt her chin upward, he said in a relaxed voice, “You said…” Then, as if something had exploded within her mind, Sharon’s face turned beet red. She
She did not ask him what the pill was for before swallowing it. There was a serene expression on his face as he watched her swallow the pill, as though what had happened last night was nothing more than an accident. They were adults now and were supposed to be able to face such matters calmly. However, she just did not feel comfortable about it. “Was there something wrong with the wine I drank last night?” she asked after swallowing the pill. She had not eaten anything last night and only had a few glasses of wine. “I got Franky to conduct an investigation. Both the alcohol and food served at the party had not been tampered with.” The anniversary celebration was an important event, which meant the quality of the food needed to be top-notch. After realizing she had been drugged last night, he immediately got Franky to conduct an investigation. It turned out only her glass of wine had been drugged. Sharon was startled when she heard that and immediately frowned, saying, “So tha
