His huge palm, separated by a thin layer of clothing material, was around her waist. Nevertheless, she felt as if the skin on that area was burning.The warm sensation spread all the way to her cheek, and her face felt very hot.'Oh God, what's happening to me?'Sharon was unaware of how she had made her way to the car. Franky was holding an umbrella next to the car door. Seeing the both of them walking toward him, he took the initiative and opened the vehicle’s door. He then waited for Simon to enter the car.Sharon felt annoyed. 'Franky would’ve surely brought a pair of umbrellas. I didn’t have to send him downstairs.'At the side of the car, Simon let go of Sharon and returned her the umbrella. Needless to say, Franky was holding another umbrella for him.Sharon lowered her eyes. "Well… have a safe trip back home.""Alright. You too, pay attention to your safety." The expression in the man's eyes was deep as he stared at her."Then, I shall head back for now." Sharon felt th
Ever since Sharon had bumped into her and Connor Leonard in the hospital, Sally could not help but feel insecure that the latter had found out her secret. Consequently, she assigned people to keep an eye on all of Sharon’s movements from the shadows.She had not expected Sharon to seduce Simon!After seeing the last few pictures, she suddenly became agitated. Her eyes were brewing with rage, and she nearly smashed her phone.The last few pictures were pictures of Howard and Sharon together!'It is so late at night and he's not home. It turns out he went to meet Sharon!'She stared at the pictures with immense hatred as anger could be seen swirling in her eyes. ‘Damn it! I can't let Sharon be so unscrupulous again. I should teach her a lesson!'…The very next day after the rain was sunny. The air was fresh.The injury on Sharon's foot was almost fully healed. Nevertheless, she went back to work that day.As usual, she would send her son to school before heading to the company
“What happened? How could there be a car accident?” Simon heard that she had been in a car accident, and without further asking about the situation, he immediately stopped the meeting to rush to the hospital.He secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her sitting on the long bench, alive and well. It was just that a large part of her forehead was wounded and still oozing blood. His furrowed brows were unable to stretch.Sharon was about to say something when the door to the emergency rescue room was pushed open. She got up reflexively and immediately ran over. “Doctor, how is he? Were you able to rescue him?” She grabbed onto the first doctor who came out and asked nervously.The doctor shook his head. “Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe and we weren’t able to rescue him. We had to declare his death.”At that moment, Sharon froze. She felt a thunderbolt hitting her head!Afterward, Sharon watched as Manager Cook was pushed out, covered with a white cloth. She was i
His gaze was scorching hot, making Sharon look away. “I’m going up now.” She got out of the car and walked forward without looking back.She wondered if she was being overly sensitive about Simon’s attitude because she felt Simon’s treatment toward her was different from before.…On this day, Sharon was attending Manager Cook’s funeral.If it were not for him, she would have been the one inside the coffin.The police had closed the case and concluded the driver had been drinking before driving. As such, the driver was the one mainly responsible for the whole thing.Sharon was coming out of the cemetery when it started raining. She took out an umbrella from her bag and opened it. Right then, she received a text on her phone.Her expression changed in a split second after clicking on the message.The text wrote: [You’re lucky that you had a substitute this time around. I’ll not be so sure the next time!]It was a message from an unknown number. Sharon’s hand trembled as she h
Sharon’s heart tightened, and she turned around to go search for her child. Simon did not try to stop her. His eyes turned dark, and he followed from behind. Sharon went over to the place where they had been planting trees. It was not very remote, but very few people would walk past this area. It was surrounded by the woods as well.“Sebastian? Where are you?” Sharon walked into the mud with her umbrella. It was already raining heavily at this time.“Sebastian, you have to respond to Mommy….” Sharon was about to burst into tears out of fear. She was not able to find her son through the dense curtain of rain…She had no one else, and her son was her only support. She would crumble if her son were to go missing!Then, she suddenly slipped and fell into the mud embarrassedly. As the umbrella fell to the side, the cold rainwater splattered all over her. However, she quickly struggled to get back up as she continued yelling for her son, “Sebastian!”Simon, who was not far behind, s
“Why are you here, Simon?” Fiona said with a fake smile. Simon did not reply, and Sebastian proceeded to complain, “Uncle, that old lady hit my mommy last time, and now she’s kidnapping me. She’s certainly not a good person. Please help me call the police.”Simon frowned upon hearing this. Did she hit Sharon before?He suddenly remembered that he had indeed seen a palm print on Sharon’s face once.He narrowed his eyes, and there were hints of cold chills emitting out of them. “Fiona, why must you do this to a child?”Fiona gave out a half smile. “Simon, this is regarding Howard’s personal affairs. There’s no need for your meddling.”They were at a test center. Fiona was clearly about to take a paternity test today to see if the child was Howard’s.“Simon, give me the child.” She insisted on achieving her goal today.Sebastian looked up at the tall man and blinked his eyes. “Uncle, aren’t you calling the cops for me? Then give me your phone, I’ll do it myself.”Simon lowered h
Fiona was utterly confused. How could that kid be Simon’s? Did he really do it with Sharon?Heavens, would Simon start taking responsibility for them and marry Sharon?Fiona clenched her fists in anger. Simon took Sebastian out of the private hospital and called Sharon to tell her that the child had been found. He said he would be taking the kid home and she should head home as well.On the way home, the two sat inside the car. Sebastian shook his calves and gazed at the tall, cold-looking man next to him. He asked, “Uncle, what happened to the old lady?”Simon raised his eyebrow and squinted at him. “I told her that I’m your father, so she’ll never bother you again.”Sebastian sat up straight and asked, “That simple?”The man nodded slightly. “Yeah.”Sebastian found it hard to believe him. “Are you that awesome? Is she afraid of you?”The man looked cold and arrogant as he said without any humility, “Of course. Next time a bad guy catches you, tell them that I’m your father
Sharon could not seem to grasp the meaning behind Simon’s words, but she did not ponder further into it. Then, she looked at the filth on herself and could not help but smile. “I’m going to go wash up. Do give me a moment.”Afterward, she looked at her son again. “Sebastian, help Mommy attend to the guest.”“Sure.” Sebastian immediately went and brought their unfinished game of chess over. “Uncle, should we continue from last time?”“Okay.” Simon stayed to accompany him.Sharon looked at them in a daze. They really did look like father and son.Her heartstrings tensed up, and she did not think further into it. She turned around and went into the bathroom.When Sharon came out after washing up, she heard the little guy exclaiming in excitement, “Checkmate! I won! I finally won this time!”She walked to the hall and saw her son triumphantly dancing while Simon was faintly curling his lips upward. He did not appear discouraged from losing. On the contrary, he had the demeanor of a
