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
She was not in the mood to bicker about nonsensical things with him and turned around to leave. However, at that moment she thought of something else and added, “Oh, right. But if you do find her, don’t forget to notify me.”As she was leaving, Howard forcefully grabbed her and sullenly stared at her while saying, “Don’t be so full of yourself. My uncle won’t help you. You’re just his little plaything. Do you really think that he’s not going to marry Summer?”Sharon was not planning on paying any heed to his words. Even so, the way he said this made it seem as if he knew something she did not.Since he worked alongside Simon, perhaps he had heard rumors or whatnot.“What do you mean?” She was looking at him with a cold stern.Howard sneered. “You should know by now what kind of a person my uncle is. Do you truly think that he could easily forgive someone who killed his father?”The look in Sharon’s eyes sank as she pressed her lips together, waiting for him to continue.“I’ll le
After Simon changed his clothes and stepped out, he saw Summer holding his mobile phone. “There was a call just now which I answered for you, but the other party hung up without a word.” Summer looked indifferent as she passed him the phone. Simon checked the call log and saw that it was Sharon. His eyes darkened a little. With a swipe of his long fingers, he returned the call. Sharon was still immersed in her thoughts when the mobile phone she was holding in her hand vibrated suddenly, alerting her. The caller ID displayed Simon’s name. She took a deep breath before answering the call, “Hello.” “Did you call me just now?” It was that man’s deep and wonderful voice. Sharon instantly dispelled those inappropriate thoughts and reverted back to her usual tone, “Yeah, were you not around just now? Did the secretary answer the call for you?” When she asked this, she instantly became nervous. “Yeah, I was away for a moment just now. A friend answered the phone.” Simon stood i
Sharon took her son with Celia and her parents to the venue they had decided on, a five-star hotel. The second floor of the hotel was a restaurant, and the head chef came from France. The waiter took them to the reserved table and the two families sat down. The two children insisted on sitting together. Celia’s mother looked at Sebastian and remembered seeing Simon the other day when she picked up her daughter. This child looked just like Simon and must be a handsome young man when he grew up. “Mrs. Zachary, Sebastian is really good at taking care of others. Celia is very happy being friends with him,” Celia’s mother said. “Boys should take care of girls.” Besides, Sebastian grew up with her, so he had always been considerate as a child. “There are too few of such good boys now. If you don’t mind, I hope they can grow up together, just like childhood sweethearts. In the future, they can attend elementary and middle schools together. It’d be even better if they could attend
