Perhaps because he noticed the doubts in her eyes, he went on to say, “Sebastian is my son. So do you think I’d let him live outside away from me? Even if I’ll allow it, the Zachary household won’t.”Sharon understood now. If the Zacharies knew that Sebastian was Simon’s son, they would definitely not want the child to stay with her!They would snatch him away and bring the child back to the Zachary household.Her mind was in a mess as she grabbed his hand in a hurry. “You cannot take my son away from me!”Simon raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a slight curl on his thin lips. “Hence the reason why I’m offering you a marriage.”Sharon was solemnly silent. She understood well that if the Zacharies were to take her kid away, her meager power would not be able to stop them.Did that not mean she had no other options but to sign this agreement?She suddenly thought about her son who had always wanted to find his father. Plus, he had been teased at school for not having one
After looking at the photos, Dr. Collins frowned and said, “The person is quite familiar. Do give me a moment to recall…” As there was no front photo of the guy, it was hard for Dr. Collins to remember the person.“It’s fine. Do take your time.” Sharon was anxious, but it would be inappropriate to urge him.“Ah, I remember now. This man looks somewhat similar to Dr. Wayne John. He’s in the surgery department.”“Wayne John? Are you certain?” Sharon’s eyes flashed with a bright light.“Well, it does look like him. Try to head to the surgery department and ask around.”“Thank you, Dr. Collins.” Sharon wanted to see this Wayne John guy right away.“You’re welcome. I felt extremely guilty for not being able to save your father back then.”When Sharon noticed that he hesitated to speak further, she was suspicious once more. “Dr. Collins, perhaps there’s something more you didn’t tell me about my father’s death back then?”Dr. Collins’ expression changed, and he quickly replied, “It’s
Sharon took a deep breath and finally muttered, “He… is someone you already know. It’s Uncle Simon.”Sebastian was startled. “You mean to say that the haughty uncle is my father? Are you joking with me, Mommy?”Sharon put on a stern look on her face. “This is not a joke.” She watched the little guy’s change in expression nervously. Would he be able to accept this?“It’s no wonder everyone says we look alike. So he’s actually my dad!”“Then, do you accept him as your dad?” Sharon asked tentatively.“Of course, I’ll accept it if he’s my father. Mommy, that haughty uncle is quite a rich man. He should be able to support us.”Sharon’s mouth twitched when she heard this. What on earth was going on in that head of his?Before they were done with their conversation, Sharon’s phone rang. It was Simon telling her that he was now downstairs. He asked them to head down.She hung up the phone, and the little guy pulled her hand excitedly. “Let’s go down, Mommy.”Sharon was still unbudging
Sharon felt her temples aching. Was it not a fake marriage anyway? He did not have to be so serious about this, right?As the sun started to set, the Maybach finally arrived at the Zachary family’s mansion.The car stopped in front of the enormous fountain, and through the car window, Sharon saw that servants were waiting.Sharon still felt nervous about this, after all.Simon and their son had gotten out of the car. The big guy and his mini-me were waiting for her outside.She had to cheer for herself before biting the bullet and getting out of the car. Then, she suddenly thought of something else. “Oh wait. Don’t you think it’s inappropriate that we came empty-handed?” She now remembered that she should have brought some gifts.“It’s enough that you brought a son.” Simon said as though he had read her thoughts.“Let’s head in,” he turned his head and said to the little guy.Sharon looked at the man’s cold-looking back and stuck her tongue out slightly before following him.T
In the study, Simon showed his father his and Sebastian’s paternity test report. He briefly talked about what had happened five years ago.When the two came out of the study, Sharon noticed that Douglas still had a somewhat solemn expression on his face, but he was no longer as rude as before.Douglas sat back on the main sofa again and looked at the little guy. He waved toward him, saying, “Come over here, you little brat.”“I’m not a brat.” Sebastian refused to budge.Douglas looked at him scrutinizingly. Since he was his grandson, he could only patiently say, “So, your name is Sebastian? Come to Grandpa.”“You’re not my grandpa.” The little guy was holding a bit of a grudge.Douglas’ complexion did not look very good. After all, no one had dared to refuse him in such a manner before this.Sharon stepped forward to make peace. “Director Zachary, perhaps you should just tell him whatever you have to say from there.”Simon looked at her abruptly and said, “Sharon, you should be
Fiona had a tough time arguing her case and said anxiously, “Dad, I didn’t kidnap him to experiment on him. I… I merely wanted to do a paternity test on him and Howard.”She paused and glared at Sharon coldly. Then, she gritted her teeth and said, “Who would’ve thought that the kid is Simon’s? Who knows what kind of methods she used for that to happen?!”“I don’t care what you say. You kidnapped me, and I’ll call the cops right now!” Sebastian took Mommy’s phone to call the police.“I already told you that I didn’t kidnap you! You little bra—” Fiona wanted to grab the phone, but now that Douglas knew this kid was his grandson, he shielded the child. She dared not act rashly anymore.She looked at Simon anxiously and said, “Simon, aren’t you going to stop him? Are you letting your innocent sister-in-law be dragged to the station?”Simon turned his gaze toward the little guy before saying calmly, “Fiona, you did kidnap him, and you did hit Sharon. The kid likes to hold grudges, so w
“Dad, are you allowing Simon to marry a woman like this?” She shifted her gaze toward Douglas.Douglas glanced at Sharon indifferently. He could not bring himself to accept this daughter-in-law, but she was the kid’s mother. If he refused to accept her, would he have to let his grandson live outside?Douglas made no further statement, so his silence seemed to be tacit approval. Fiona was out of her wits and angrily said to Simon, “Fine. Alright… Just you wait and see. She’ll cheat on you one day too, and you’ll finally be sorry!”Sharon could not hold it in any longer when she heard this. Especially after learning from Sally that during her wedding with Howard, Fiona had allowed the nude photos to be released. Fiona was the person who ruined her reputation!Now, she still had the nerve to slander her!“Madam Lionel, please take back what you’ve just said. I’ve always been innocent and have never betrayed Howard.” Sharon looked at Fiona coldly.Fiona sneered, “No? You actually h
Sebastian was utterly stuffed. He patted his swollen belly. “Mommy, do you think my belly looks like a watermelon?”Sharon also patted his stomach, feeling amused. “Who told you to eat that much?”“The food is so delicious, I just couldn’t help it.” The little guy rubbed on his belly. If he was not stuffed to the brim, he would probably eat more.“Mommy, the food at Dad’s is just too good.” The little guy could not help but sigh.“Then, when you live here next time, you can eat a lot of delicious food every day,” said Simon abruptly.“That’s right. Just stay here, and I’ll ask the maid to prepare a room for you.” Douglas immediately ordered the butler to make arrangements.Sebastian looked at Mommy, asking for approval, “Are we staying here?”“Well…” Sharon glanced at Douglas, then at Simon. They were only planning to let the little guy stay here, right?Simon was the child’s father, after all. As such, she needed to give them some time to get along.“If you want to stay here,
