Sebastian said he wanted to eat pasta, so Simon brought them to a pasta restaurant and got themselves a private room.Sharon felt that her throat was getting dry recently and ordered carbonara for herself, carefully avoiding anything spicy.Riley ordered everything available on the menu. Knowing that Simon was buying them the meal, it would be an act of disrespect if she did not try to take advantage of him, no?Sharon was somewhat grateful that Riley came along with them. Otherwise, she would have to sit through an awkward meal with Simon and Sebastian. After all, she had just displeased him a few days ago.Sharon carefully put the pasta on her son’s plate. Without her realizing, the man next to her was silently putting food on her plate too. Riley watched them for a while before exploding in a wave of irritation. “If I knew this was going to happen, I should’ve brought along someone to put food on my plate too.” How meaningless it was to eat the food she put on her own plate!
Simon did not expect his son to blurt out the truth. He frowned but did not blame the child, and his face remained composed.Initially, he had thought of telling Sharon about it himself.He met Sharon's gaze that was gleaming with suspicion and thought, 'It seems that she’s not buying it.'"Well, President Zachary, you're quite a scumbag, aren’t you? You're already engaged to another woman but you don’t plan on marrying her. Are you thinking of hurting another woman?"Riley was actually surprised as well. Who would have thought the man was actually not planning to get married?'Is he doing it for Sharon’s sake?'He's afraid that other men might deceive Sharon again, so he intentionally said those things.'"Mommy, Daddy only wants to marry you." The little kid grabbed his mother's hand and started acting as an ambassador for his father.At that moment, Sharon was having mixed feelings and suddenly could not find the right words to speak.Moreover, it was her son who had been ta
In the movie theatre, Sharon was carrying her son while Simon was sitting on the seat to her right.They had bought three tickets but the little kid insisted not to sit on his own and wanted to sit in her arms while hugging her.The giant screen displayed a love story that was rather pitiful. After watching for a few minutes, the little kid said it was boring and leaned in her arms before dozing off.Sharon wanted to smack his bottom. He was the one who insisted on watching a romance movie yet he called it boring.From the very beginning, she had already questioned why would a child bother watching a romance movie? However, Simon even gave in and bought him the tickets.'Great, we've already bought the tickets and this brat is sleeping in my arms. He’s too much for making us watch this awkward movie!’She noticed that the moviegoers surrounding them were all couples. They were the only ones who had brought a child along and looked like a family of three, but in truth, they were a
Sharon was stumped for words, yet she chased after him anyway. “Hey…”She arrived at this apartment once more, feeling momentarily dazed. After all, she never expected to step foot in here again after she left that day.She stood by the bedroom door, watching as Simon carefully placed their son on the bed and tucking him in.It seemed like he had adapted himself into the role of a father completely. Even though he was far from competent, the things he could give Sebastian were more than anything she ever could.The two stepped out of the room and went into the living room. It was still raining outside, and raindrops were hitting the glass window, making pattering sounds. Sharon lowered her eyes and said, “Then… I guess he’ll be sleeping here today. You can keep him for the night. I’ll be heading out now.”Simon had taken off his coat earlier, and he was wearing a black metallic shirt with hints of gray underneath. Two of his collar buttons were loosened, making him look casual a
Sebastian was suddenly running out of the bedroom to hug her. His voice sounded a little scared, like he was about to cry when he said, “Mommy… don’t abandon me and forget about me...”Sharon’s heart went limp, and she squatted down to say to her son, “What’s the matter with you, Sebastian? How could Mommy ever abandon you?”“I had a nightmare just now. In my dream, you said that you don’t want me anymore,” he said while sobbing.It turned out that he was merely scared by a nightmare. Hence, Sharon took the little guy into her arms and patted him on the back lightly. “It’s just a dream. It’s not real.”“Then, will you sleep with me tonight, Mommy? Please don’t leave me. I’m terrified that I won’t get to see you again,” the little guy took her hand over and pleaded pitifully.Crap. She was definitely trapped now. She was just about to refuse Simon’s invitation again, yet who would have thought that her son would be the one to hold her back?Facing her son’s plea, how could she bea
Then, who was the person who sent her this text?His eyes slightly sank as he noted down the number. Then, he sent it over to Franky for him to run the number.Afterward, he deleted the message for her. There was no need to keep this sort of spam anyway.Meanwhile, there was a car parked on the road not far from the apartment. It had been here since Sharon followed Simon into the apartment earlier.Inside the car, Howard was staring at the apartment’s door coldly. It was late at night and even the rain had stopped, yet Sharon had not come out of there after entering!Was she planning on spending the night? Was she planning to stay overnight in his uncle’s apartment?A man and a woman staying together in an enclosed space. Who would believe them if they were to say they did not do anything?It turned out she had refused to get back together with him because she was still involved with his uncle!Anger was rolling in his chest, so he had sent that text message in a towering rage.
Hearing Penelope’s words, it seemed like she had wholly regarded Sharon as a vile mistress who was trying to seduce a married man. She was willing to use violence to drive her away and was forbidding her from interacting with their family ever again.“Penelope, I did spend the night here, but I did it for Sebastian. I didn’t bother President Zachary, let alone sleep with him.” Sharon tried to suppress the shame in her heart. Even so, she still had to clear up the misunderstanding.As soon as her voice fell, she could immediately feel the man’s cold gaze washing over. She quickly turned her face away as if she did not notice it.However, the little guy ended up exposing her as he revealed, “Didn’t you sleep with Daddy last night, Mommy? Why aren’t you admitting it?”Sharon lowered her and glared at the stinking little brat. The three of them had all slept together the previous night, and his nonsensical words would only cause a misunderstanding!Sure enough, Penelope coldly stared
Simon’s complexion changed again and again, and something flashed across his eyes momentarily. His expression grew colder by the second, and it exuded a sense of unshakeable resoluteness. “Dad’s gone, Penelope. Let’s not keep bringing him up. I’ll bear all the consequences here on out.”“What!” Penelope was so enraged that she pointed toward Sharon and scoffed coldly, “Did this woman cast some sort of spell on you?” If that were the case, she would never let Sharon get away with this!Truth be told, Sharon was flabbergasted as well. When her son said that Simon had no plans to marry Summer, she refused to believe it herself. Even if he and Summer had no feelings for each other, a business marriage was not something to be trifled with. It was not something he could turn his back on, and was directly related to both family group’s future benefits.Now that Simon had revealed his decision in front of Penelope, it was hard for Penelope to stay calm.“Get out of my sight! If you come
“I’ve completed all of his final requests. That’s it.” Yvonne cast a final glance at Quincy, who was gripped with shock. She then left the room. Quincy did not say anything to make her stay. She kept staring at the box of ashes. She stared at the box of ashes silently for an extremely long period of time. Terry asked her, “Miss, do you believe that these are Dayton Night’s ashes?” She turned around to look at Terry. To be honest, she did not really believe it. “Why don’t you first look at the assets that he transferred to you and see if they’re real?” Terry suggested. “Help me settle this.” She handed the thick pile of documents to him so that he could verify them. “I’ll go now.” Terry left the office at once. Quincy stared at the box of ashes and muttered softly, “Dayton Night, what are you trying to do this time?” She was shocked when Terry told her that Dayton had really transferred all of his assets and finances to her after verifying the documents. “Does
Quincy was still deep in thought when her secretary called her through the internal phone line. Her secretary told her that a woman named Yvonne Leif was here to see her. She frowned. Yvonne Leif? After thinking about it for a while, she finally recalled. Was Yvonne Leif not the woman by Dayton’s side? Why was she looking for her now? If she did not die, then Dayton Night... Quincy’s heart lurched. She asked her secretary to bring her in at once. After a while, her secretary brought Yvonne into the office. From the moment Yvonne appeared in her office, Quincy kept staring at her. She had a shadow. She was not a ghost or a spirit… Yvonne was perfectly fine from head to toe. She did not seem injured at all. Did she manage to avoid the bombing on the island? Yvonne was wearing a pair of sunglasses and holding onto a box. She carried her handbag on her wrist. After a while, she stood opposite Quincy’s office desk.She then took off her sunglasses and met Quincy’
Dayton had a dark expression on his face as he stared at the island with a bleak gaze. He pursed his lips. He had no intention of saying anything.He did not want to leave the island. Yvonne and his men were the ones who forcefully brought him away.“I’d rather stay on the island,” he said after a while.Yvonne looked at him in shock. After a few seconds, she burst out in mocking laughter. “You’d like her to bomb you to death, right? It’d be better than dying after going through all the torment of your illness, right?”After a momentary silence, he said, “I owe it to her.”Anyway, he would not be able to live for long. He should just fulfill Quincy’s wishes and let her end his life personally.He would not have any regrets if he died by her hand.Yvonne could not help but slap herself across the face. She then scolded herself out loud, “Why am I being such a busybody?! Why do I insist on saving you when you want to die so badly?! I’m such a fool!”She really regretted her decis
Quincy cast her cold gaze in that direction. After a while, she said, “Let’s go.” Terry did not know what she was looking at just now. He only noticed the unpleasant expression on her face. He followed her and asked, “Miss, where’s that bastard, Dayton Night? Shall I capture him personally?” He did not think that she would let Dayton go. Quincy did not stop walking. “It’s fine. I know how to deal with him.” There was a hint of brutality in her cold voice. Terry was slightly stunned. He seemed to have understood something. He stopped talking to her after that. The helicopter was waiting for them outside. Quincy and Terry got into the helicopter.Below them, the island was in a huge mess. Nobody could stop her from leaving now.“Miss, shall we go back now?” Terry asked.Quincy glanced at the situation below and looked at him. There was an exceptionally calm expression on her face. “You brought plenty of explosives over, right?”Terry nodded and said, “I brought some along
“Doctor Leif, come over and take a look at Young Master. He vomited blood again,” one of Dayton’s men told her as soon as they saw her. Yvonne walked in front of Dayton. She saw the blood that he had spat out on the floor. She was no longer fazed. “You guys should learn to get used to something like this. After all, it’ll happen frequently in the future.” Dayton’s men were stunned. What did that mean? Young Master would frequently vomit blood in the future? Dayton leaned against the sofa behind him and closed his eyes. He did not have the energy to speak anymore. Yvonne did not want to chastise him after seeing his current condition. She clearly knew that he had given up on himself a long time ago. He was simply waiting for his own death. Therefore, she was not in a hurry to carry out acupuncture treatment on him. Rumble, rumble, rumble... A loud sound rang out from outside. Dayton opened his eyes immediately. It sounded like an airplane had flown over? He immedia
Quincy was so angry that her face flushed red. If she was not being held down by his bodyguards, she would definitely strangle him to death right now!Yvonne, who was watching them by the side, could not bring herself to continue watching them anymore. She felt extremely awkward as an outsider. Therefore, she got up and said, “You guys should eat slowly.” She left the room after speaking.She truly could not comprehend someone like Dayton Night. Why was he being so persistent with Quincy Lane? To make it sound better, he was a persistent man. However, he must be a nightmare to Quincy. She could tell how much Quincy hated him. Otherwise, she would not have taken Lennon hostage. She wanted to leave this island. Perhaps love was not only about giving. Some types of love were defined by shackles and imprisonment as well. Not only was Dayton trapping Quincy, but he was also doing so to himself. However, perhaps this was his final wish in life. That was the reason why he was
Yvonne stared at him. She was suddenly at a loss for words. Quincy was pushed back into her room. The door of her room was then shut tight. She heard the sound of a lock clicking into place outside. Damn it, Dayton Night. He got his men to lock her up. She had completely lost her freedom. Quincy had no more ideas. She could only fast. She would rather die than be imprisoned by him. She started fasting. Dayton’s men reported this situation to him immediately. He wanted to head over to take a look at her, but he really did not have any energy right now. “Bring her over.” He had no choice but to ask them to bring Quincy to his room. Before Quincy arrived, he asked Yvonne to help him to the sofa so that he could sit down. He could not let Quincy see him lying on the bed so sickly. Yvonne could not help but ask, “Why do you have to do this? You’re trying so hard to put up a facade in front of her. Can’t you just tell her about your illness right away?” “I don’t need
Quincy could not help but feel shocked after seeing Dayton’s appearance. He looked at her with a gaze that made it seem like he was about to eat her alive! “You’re on the island?” she asked him. Why did his men trick her? “Are you trying to take my men hostage to escape since you thought that I wasn’t here?” Dayton was filled with rage. “Dayton Night, what gives you the right to trap me here?” She should be the one angry at him instead. Just then, Yvonne chased after him. “You should go back.” She reminded Dayton after walking to his side. However, Dayton’s mind was only filled with thoughts about Quincy. It was as if he had not heard what Yvonne said. A mocking glint rose in Quincy’s gaze when she saw that Yvonne was on the island as well. It was no wonder his men were unwilling to tell her that he was already on the island. He had brought another woman over. It was impossible for her not to recognize this woman. She was the woman he had fooled around with at hi
Just then, Lennon detected the mocking tone in her voice. She was not at all concerned about whether they were tired or not.He lowered his head and peeled the apple intently. He did not intend to continue speaking to her anymore. “Let me peel it on my own. Your hands aren’t clean.” Quincy naturally reached out for the knife. Lennon did not think much about it. He just felt slightly terrified. He handed her the knife and apple at once. Nevertheless, Quincy simply took the fruit knife away. She did not take the apple from him. While he was wondering if she thought his hands were dirty, she took hold of the fruit knife and approached him. She immediately placed the knife against his neck. “Young Madam, you…” Lennon finally realized what was going on. This was her true purpose. Quincy stared at him coldly and shouted coldly, “Walk!” Lennon had no choice but to comply with her and walk outside. The men standing by the door were shocked when they saw her holding a kni
