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
Feeling that the man’s lips were about to press down onto hers, Sharon subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth. Hence, the man’s kiss landed on the palm of her hand instead.Simon’s pupils darkened slightly. He still proceeded to kiss her palm before sitting back up on his side. Then, he frowned and said in a little displeased tone, “So, you’re still rejecting me, huh?”There was a flicker in Sharon’s eyes. Her hand was still covering her lips. “You haven’t answered me yet.”The man stared at her without blinking. The depth of his expression would make one feel an inexplicable chill run down their spine.However, the next second later, he curled his lips into a smile. “Do you want me to repeat what I said in front of Penelope earlier? Or would you like me to personally say to you that I will not marry another woman?”What she truly wanted was for him to reveal his true intentions.“But you and Miss Gabriel are engaged. You can’t just go back on the agreed marriage, righ
“A wedding? What wedding?” Sharon looked at him in bewilderment. She honestly wondered if the nerves in his brain had gone haywire.Howard’s eyes lit up, and it was as if he had gone mad. “If you promise to get back together with me, Shar, I’ll hold a wedding with you right away. A grand wedding, or whatever wedding you have in mind, I promise to give it to you.”“Who on earth told you that I want to marry you?” Sharon was utterly baffled. Then, she added, “Moreover, will Sally agree to you having another wedding?”“I’ve divorced her, so there’s no need to worry about that. You can become my bride with complete peace of mind.”Sharon was surprised that he had divorced Sally! Were his actions not a little too rash?Also… Did Sally even agree to divorce him so easily? “What do you think, Shar? Shall we get back together?” Howard reached out to hug her.Sharon immediately snapped back to reality and slapped his hands away. She stared at him defensively and refused coldly, “No way!
Before Sharon was able to react, the so-called Miss Thompson had pounced onto her and grabbed her hands tightly. With a pair of red and swollen eyes, she said in an extraordinarily anxious and pitiful manner, “Miss, you should know where Eugene is right now, right? Can you please let me see him? Our child is sick, and I need to see him….”“Miss Thompson!” Wyatt was flustered. He hurriedly went over and pulled Fern Thompson away before apologizing to Sharon, “My apologies, Miss Jean. We’ve startled you. I’ll be taking her away now.”Wyatt barely gave Sharon a chance to reply before he forcibly dragged the woman away.“Hey, wait a….” However, it was too late for Sharon to stop them. In the blink of an eye, Wyatt shoved the woman into a car and drove off.Sharon wondered if she had misheard her. Did Miss Thompson say “our child” earlier? Was she implying that she had a child with Eugene?How was that possible? As far as she knew, Eugene was not dating anyone. She had even wondered
Sharon assumed that he was not speaking because he was sick and feeling uncomfortable. Thus, she shrugged and said, “Fine, whatever. Men are always unreliable at critical moments.Simon’s eyes started twitching upon hearing this…She sat next to him and reached out to test the temperature of his forehead. “You’re not burning up. Has the fever subsided?”“Cough cough…” The man started coughing suddenly.“Have you taken your medications? What did the doctor say? How’s the wound? Did you change the bandages?”She became nervous as soon as he started coughing and hurriedly tried to check on his injury.He carefully rolled up his sleeves and showed that the bandage on his arm had been changed.“It’s slightly inflamed and infected. Xavier already came over and looked at it earlier.” When Simon noticed how nervous she looked, his thin lip started to curve upward imperceptibly.Sharon heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good, then. Have you taken your medications?”“I took them a few hou
