“Ack… Why, why aren’t you wearing any clothes?”Who would have thought that when she opened the door, the first thing she would see would be the man standing beside the tub?Simon shrugged innocently. “If I had clothes, then I wouldn’t have troubled you into bringing them in.”“That, that wasn’t what I was asking you….” She had now turned her face to the side and was no longer looking at him.“Put it on right now, so you don’t catch a cold.” She threw the clothes over to him and nimbly escaped.She was still somewhat breathless after running out of the bathroom and started fanning her face with her hand. Her cheeks were getting growing hotter by the second.By the time the man had come out in his pajamas, Sharon had decided to leave his house.“I think your body temperature has returned to normal now. And it’s getting late, so I’m heading back,” She said as she picked up her bag and turned to leave.The man’s eyes darkened slightly. He noticed that her cheeks looked a little ro
Sharon merely froze for a moment, but she soon regained her senses. She subconsciously tried to push him away and distance herself from his body while simultaneously withdrawing her leg.Nonetheless, as soon as she moved, the man wrapped his hands around her. A slightly dangerous, low-pitched masculine voice was heard from above her head, “Don’t move.”Her cheeks flushed almost immediately. “Sh—shameless!” It was so early in the morning. Could he not do something like this?Simon squinted, feeling somewhat innocent. He was rather amused seeing her blushing with hints of anger.“Let me go.” Not only were her cheeks a little hot, her body started heating up as well.He lifted her chin and teased her with a smile, “Why’s your face so red?”Stop asking the obvious!She ignored his warning and forcefully pushed him away. Then, she sat up and distanced herself from him. “You seem to be in perfectly good spirits now, and even your temperature is back to normal. I don’t think you need a
Sharon had not visited her father for quite some time. Every time she thought of how unjust her father’s death was, her heart would throb in pain.She looked at Howard and said coldly, “Aren’t you going to make atonement for your mother’s sin? My dad’s right here.”Howard looked at the name on the tombstone and knelt without saying another word.“Mr. Jeans, I’m Howard Zachary. My mother made a mistake in the past, which led to your death. Today, I’m here to apologize to you on behalf of my mother. We only ask that you’ll now be able to rest in peace in the afterlife,” He silently prayed near the tombstone after saying these words.The rims of Sharon’s eyes subconsciously turned red as she listened to his words.She looked at her father’s gravestone and muttered in her heart, ‘Are you seeing this, Dad? The person who harmed you has gotten her punishment. You can now rest in peace.’Afterward, Howard brought some flowers and placed them on her father’s grave.Sharon stayed with he
Sharon recently needed to shuttle between two venues due to the resort’s project, mainly because the resort was located on a remote mountain on the city’s east side. She would usually set off in the morning and return to the city late at night.As usual, she needed to head to the resort today, but her car unexpectedly broke down on the way there!The appalling thing was that the weather had been terrible recently, so it was raining again. She got out of the car with her umbrella in hand. Since there was nowhere to repair her car nearby, she had to call a tow truck instead.Just as she was anxiously searching for a number, a black Maybach suddenly drove toward her. She tensed up at sight, already recognizing whose car it was.Shortly after, the overbearing black car stopped right in front of her. The window was lowered, and a man’s handsome face appeared before her eyes. His narrow eagle-like eyes looked at her with a half-smile.“Car trouble?” Simon was able to understand her pr
“Just stay by my side and don’t go anywhere!” He grabbed her wrist and was extremely overbearing.Seeing how stern and tense his expression was, she could not help but smile. “I’m just heading out to take a look. Don’t be so nervous.”The driver had already walked all the way to the front, and the two were left standing at the side of the car.Sharon was thinking that if they removed the stones and boulders blocking the road, that perhaps they could still drive over.At that moment, there was a loud and terrifying rumbling noise. The driver that was not far from them immediately shouted in horror, “Mr. Zachary, Miss Jean, run! There’s a land….”Sharon turned to the side and noticed stones rolling down from the top of the mountain. At that moment, her pupils dilated in horror. She was too stunned to return to her senses even though her mind was telling her to run.Simon grabbed her wrist and pulled her as he ran. “Why’d you freeze in place? Run!”She finally moved her legs and ra
Inside the small room, the two looked at the tiny wooden bed and went silent for a while.Sharon felt like bursting into tears. She could still accept her cruel fate since they looked like husband and wife who had to share a room and sleep on the same bed. But… could they not have provided a bigger bed??The most unfortunate thing was that they had no other option.There was only one bed in the whole room. They could not even choose to sleep on the sofa if they wanted to.Sharon glanced at the equally silent man beside her. He would probably be feeling just as awkward about this, right?However, in the next moment later, Simon sat down on the tiny bed and looked at her with a soft and deep gaze. He said in a low voice, “Come here.”Sharon was taken aback. Was he planning on sleeping so early?She slowly walked over under his gaze. As soon as she reached the bed, the man stretched out his hand to pull her down.There was a pause in her breathing, “What….”The man’s subsequent s
Sharon covered her mouth with her hand, utterly embarrassed. Damn it! The host most likely would not have heard her, would he?She bit down on her hand to stop herself from crying out. Her heart was pounding like a drum. Just as she was about to reach behind her to push Simon away, he moved aside on his own.Sharon turned around and glared at Simon. She did not dare speak too loudly, but she was also in quite a considerable temper. "Are you helping me apply ointment, or are you up to some kind of mischief?" Simon wrapped an arm around her. Looking down at her with half-lidded eyes, he murmured in a husky voice, "If I hadn't been busy helping you apply ointment on your back, I would have already been up to mischief.”Was she supposed to commend him for his blatant honesty?Sharon's cheeks were still scarlet; she could not handle his provocative charm. Placing a hand on his chest to fend him off, she tilted her head and responded curtly, “Are you done? I’m cold. I’d like to put my
Inside the small and dilapidated room, the two looked at each other in silence for quite some time. Sharon understood what Simon meant when he said to come back to him, but she felt hesitant as she was not entirely sure.However, the man’s piercing gaze had felt like it had reached deep within her, causing her to feel pressured. She had quickly looked away to disconnect herself from him and purposely tried to misinterpret his words, "You know that I can't just drop everything and leave Prosper Group to go back to your..."Before she could finish her sentence, there was a sharp pain in her jaw where Simon had abruptly clutched it. He turned her face back to him and gritted his teeth while saying, “You know what I mean, so don’t act so confused!”Sharon pursed her lips and looked at him. Her lips were quivering before she could say, “I…I don’t want to get called a nasty mistress by your sister.”Simon smirked at her, “As the person who exposed Fiona right in front of the old master
