She let out a cold snort and withdrew her hand. Then, she threw a small black box she had brought with her to the hoodlums. “You can go ahead and make sure the figure’s correct. I don't owe any of you a single penny. Once you’re done counting the money, go ahead and start the show!”“What are you planning on doing, Sally?” Sharon scoffed.Sally looked at her again and sneered, “Why are you in such a hurry?” Then, she raised her head and laughed maniacally. She could not wait for a second longer to witness the look of pain and desperation on Sharon’s face!“Why...Why are you so vicious? Why do you have to keep hurting me!”“You only have yourself to blame. You made Howard divorce me, and I hate you to bits for it!” She wished Sharon would drop dead right there and then. However, she could not let her die off so quickly-she had to torture her and make her experience all sorts of despair beforehand!“Ha… You’ve hated me from the very beginning. Didn’t you cause Manager Cook’s death
“Stop! Or I’ll shoot!” Simon scoffed while aiming a gun he snatched from the cop beside him at Sally.He managed to stop Sally’s impending attack on Sharon, but it still made her tremble slightly, leaving a more profound, bloody wound on Sharon’s neck. Red blood was starting to flow down her body…The stinging pain from her neck was making it hard for Sharon to breathe. However, she was even more worried about Simon, who had a gun in his hand. She did not want him to shoot and kill anyone because of her.Moreover, Sally should not be allowed to die so easily!Simon’s pupil dilated upon witnessing the blood running down Sharon’s neck. He maliciously glared at Sally and said with a murderous intent, “Let her go!”Sally was stunned, but she quickly returned to her senses. She looked at Simon mockingly, a little afraid, but more so unable to accept her current fate. “Do you care about her that much, Simon? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll betray you one day?”“Stop talking nonsense. I t
In the hospital, the doctor was busy bandaging up Sharon’s slash wound on her neck. The location of the wound was dangerous. If Sally had exerted more force, Sharon would have kicked the bucket by now.Once they came out of the hospital, the two sat inside the car, and Sharon could not help but sigh, “Is Mercury in retrograde or something? Why do I keep getting injured?” Simon frowned and said solemnly, “God is telling you to come back to me quickly. I’m the only one who’ll be able to protect you.”Sharon tilted her head to the side and scrutinized him. Finally, she pursed her lips and said, “I have no idea what God is trying to imply, but I know that if you didn’t shoot her in time, I would’ve died by Sally’s hands.” Hence, this meant that he had saved her again.The man stretched his arms out and pulled her into his embrace again. Then, he said in a low voice, “Your life is mine. No one else is allowed to take it!”Although the man’s words were overbearing, it could not be deni
Simon’s car was parked on the opposite road of road since it was relatively less crowded. Sharon was planning on waiting for her son by the school gate, but Simon said it was too crowded and stopped her from contributing to the blockage. Then, he asked the driver to pick up the kid instead. After a short while, the driver managed to get the little guy, but a little girl followed along beside him. She figured that she must have been the little guy’s classmate.When Sharon saw this, she started imagining a scene in which her son was a few years older and bringing home his girlfriend home to meet the parents.“Who’s your little friend, Sebastian?”“Mommy, this is Celia. My deskmate. It’s her birthday today, but her parents are too busy to celebrate with her. Can I spend her birthday with her instead?”So, it turned out to be a birthday celebration. It was no wonder the kid called both her and Simon over.“Of course you can, but you’ll have to tell her parents in advance. Otherwis
Simon frowned upon seeing her being so evasive.When they arrived at their private corner, all the dishes they ordered were served. Sebastian had spent his pocket money to order a cake for Celia, and the little girl was almost moved to tears. Sharon never expected her son to be so thoughtful. He would surely have many tricks up his sleeve if he were to chase a girl in the future!Celia made a wish and blew out the candles. Then, she divided up the cake and gave the first slice to Sebastian. However, after that, she came to Simon with a way bigger piece and said, “Uncle, here you go. I’ll give you some of my birthday cake.”The little girl looked rather bashful when she talked to Simon. The only thing missing were two red hearts popping out of her eyes.Sharon rested her chin on her hand and pondered about what on earth was going on. Was it possible that Celia had a crush on Simon instead of her son?Did she get herself another five-year-old rival?Despite this, Simon was cool a
Once they finished the cakes, Sebastian said that he wanted to take Celia to the mall’s playground. Since the two adults were merely chaperones for the day, it was up to their son to decide the activities.The two little fellows went crazy in the playground. Sharon had not seen her son so happy in a long time.She felt somewhat guilty about having to work and not having time for her son. Especially now that she did not have custody of Sebastian, she had even less time with him. She and her son were interdependent on one another for the past five years. Yet, she never expected her son to be so independent now that he could live without her by his side every single day.However, she realized now that her son still needed her companionship. He merely refused to say it out loud.He said that he wanted to celebrate Celia’s birthday today, but in truth, it was because he wanted a playmate. Seeing how joyful they were, she realized that a child’s best playmate was still other children.
Sharon was halfway through the storybook when the little guy fell asleep. So, she gently kissed her son’s forehead and tucked him in before cautiously leaving the room.When she walked into the living room, she saw Simon with a towel wrapped around his waist, stepping out from bathroom. He was drying his wet black hair with another towel in his hand.She let out a slight cough and quickly averted her gaze. When did she become such a perv?Simon was rather pleased that she was appreciating his excellent figure. He grinned slyly at her and asked, “Is he asleep?”“Yeah, he’s sleeping,” She answered while gulping softly. It was getting difficult to control herself as her eyes attempted to sneak a few more peeks.However, the man walked straight to her and handed the towel over, saying, “Dry my hair for me.” What a bossy man indeed. He went and calmly sat down on the sofa, waiting for her to walk over as well.The woman knelt on the sofa and was about to start when she saw the scar
Sharon was only tried fighting back in the beginning.At this moment, their son’s voice was suddenly heard, “Mommy? Where are you?”It seemed like the little guy had suddenly woken up, and when he noticed there was no one around, he ran out to look for Mommy.Now that he could only see his mother on the weekend, he could not afford to spare a second away from her. Hence, he had to make sure Mommy was sleeping by his side.His son’s voice violently startled Sharon, and she hurriedly pushed away from the man who was still pressing onto her. She was anxious, yet managed to keep her voice down as she urged, “Get up. Sebastian’s looking for me!”Was she telling him to stop at this moment? What insanity!Simon’s face was terrifyingly dark. The blue veins on his forehead throbbed faintly due to forbearance.Damn it! He should have sent that brat back to the Zachary household!When the little guy approached them, Sharon was still busy tidying up her clothes.Sebastian noticed Daddy wa
