Fiona was the first to attempt to break the awkward atmosphere. She smiled and addressed Sharon, “Oh, you’re back, Shar? Are you here to celebrate Penelope’s birthday too?”Sharon felt goosebumps all over her body when Fiona deliberately addressed her in that manner.Today was Penelope’s birthday? Why did Simon not tell her?“Look, this is the cake Rebecca made for Penelope. What present did you bring?” Fiona asked.Sharon saw the gigantic cake on the table. Did Rebecca make this? Did that mean she already knew that today was Penelope’s birthday?She was the only one who had no idea…At this moment, she suddenly felt as if she was an outsider.Sharon first looked at the gigantic cake on the table, then at the people celebrating Penelope’s birthday joyously as a family, and then at Rebecca standing next to Simon with a shy look on her face. She felt her heart sinking slowly. Her throat started to feel bitter and dry for no apparent reason.She did not know why this made her feel
Simon did not reply and strode out.In the courtyard, Simon followed the mother and son from behind. He let the little guy get into the car first as he needed to talk to Sharon.The two of them stood face to face next to the car. For some reason, when Sharon saw him, she felt some sort of pressure on her chest.When Simon noted her unusual reaction, he could not stop himself from asking, “Who made you unhappy?”“I’m not unhappy.” She shifted her gaze. She did not realize that she had displayed her emotions on her face.Simon took out his hand that was originally in his pants and lifted her chin. “Is it because I didn’t ask you to celebrate for Penelope?”Sharon was slightly dazzled. Did this guy know how to read minds? It was such an unpleasant feeling to be seen through!She pushed his hand away and said stubbornly, “No.”Looking at her awkward face, the man could not help but curl his lips. “If I had told you earlier, would you have come to celebrate with her?”Sharon presse
Sharon did not expect that he would fire that person so quickly. She originally planned to ask for the person's name, but it would be meaningless for her to pursue the matter if she was already fired.Besides, she had quit her job, so she would not be able to hear the things people would say about her anyway.“You’re not angry?” The man looked at her, feeling a little amused.“I was never angry.” Sharon looked away, clearly not being honest.Simon stared at her fair side profile for a while, his eyes darkening unconsciously, and then he raised his hand to brush the hair around her ears to the back. He said in a low voice, “You should take your son to the apartment first, I will head over after celebrating Penelope’s birthday.”Sharon pushed his hand away. “It's okay, you can celebrate with Penelope here. You should stay the night here and don't disturb my parent-child time with my son.” She opened the door and got into the car.Seeing her slightly arrogant look, he raised his eye
In previous years, no one made any cakes for Penelope during her birthday. Now that it was brought to Simon, he only took a bite out of courtesy.“Don't force yourself if you don't like it.” Penelope had never liked this kind of food. She would not even take a bite.Rebecca was embarrassed now. Penelope from the Zachary household was far too difficult to please.The cake was eventually given to the servants of the house.Rebecca clenched her fists. She felt humiliated even though she did not make the cake.After eating the cake, everyone was going to leave the dining room. The moment Simon stood up, he was shaking. It was as if he was going to fall.“What's the matter?” Penelope who was next to him noticed what was going on.“Ah! Simon, why do you have so many rashes on your face?” Fiona suddenly cried.Following Fiona's exclamation, Penelope also saw the red rashes on Simon's face and neck. Her eyes sank coldly and she immediately understood something.She turned on Rebecca a
Xavier quickly rushed to Zachary household. As soon as he arrived, he went into the room to check on Simon's situation. The others stood at the end of the bed and watched.Howard was supporting Douglas. The two of them were very worried about Simon.After Xavier saw this and was told what Simon ate that caused the allergies, he diagnosed the situation instantly.“Dr. Fuller, how is he?” Penelope asked.“It is an acute allergic reaction. He is temporarily in a coma. Fortunately, you gave him medicine just now, so he will wake up after sleeping for a while. I will prescribe some medicine for him. Let him take it after he wakes up. Also, you have to apply the ointment to the places with rashes. Don’t let him wear clothes or cover his body with a quilt for the time being. Only cover him up after the rashes on his body have subsided.”“Okay, we understand.” Penelope asked the butler to take Xavier outside to prescribe the medicine.“Dad, you should go back to rest in your room. We’ll
“I…” Rebecca was overcome with emotion and she could not suppress it. In the end, she decided to stay.Fiona was right. If Penelope was not here, she would not be kicked out. She could not miss out on the chance to get close to Simon.Inside the room, the handsome man was lying on the bed. His breathing sounded a little heavy. His clean and handsome brows were slightly furrowed and he did not look very comfortable.Right now, he had none of the coldness he had when he was awake. However, he looked more charming and more like a forbidden fruit.Rebecca sat on the side of the bed. She was applying the ointment for him with shaking hands. The naked man in front of her was truly making an impact on her vision. She felt her throat getting tighter and her breathing was also getting heavier. While looking at his handsome face, her heart started to beat furiously.This man was so excellent and so handsome. It was difficult for any woman to not fall for him.She wanted to lie down by his
She cried even harder when she saw the photo. In a coincidental turn of events, she sent the photo and the person who received it was Sharon.Sharon was making dinner for her son. After having the meal with him, she was in a pretty good mood.Later at night, she bathed him. To cap off the night, she read a book about the mysteries of the universe to him before he fell asleep obediently.Sharon looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost midnight and Simon, who said he would come to the apartment tonight, never showed up.Indeed, she could not believe a word men said.She was about to take a shower and rest when her phone made a sound notifying her of a new message. She picked up her phone and turned it on. At a single moment, she was completely stunned.Sharon had been standing up, but after she saw the message on her phone, she felt dizzy for a moment. She could not control herself from collapsing heavily on the bed.She suddenly remembered that her son was sleeping. She cra
Perhaps she did not sleep well last night, so Sharon was a little cranky. She poked his head and said grumpily, “I got up early to make you breakfast. What bad things can I possibly do?”Sebastian touched his head innocently and curled his lips. “You wouldn’t become a panda if you just woke up early to make me breakfast, right?”“Yeah, yeah, I didn’t sleep well last night. Happy?” She admitted directly.“How can you not sleep well if I was sleeping with you? Could it be that… you miss Dad?” He did not see his father when he woke up so he was sure that his father did not come last night.Sharon’s eyes twinkled. Then, she immediately retorted, “Who misses that guy? It’s best that he doesn’t show up!” After she said that, she even snorted.The little guy noticed something wrong with her. So, he reached out his tiny arms and held her, “Mommy, don’t be scared. I will help you keep an eye out on Dad when I’m at Grandpa’s place. I won’t let him marry another woman.”Sharon was dazzled.
