'Just look at what she has become.''Wearing such a sexy sling skirt, her face with heavy makeup and her eyes so red because she's drunk, and she still dares to drink more!'To Fern, it was money as long as she drank. Currently, she was in great need of cash. She would drink as much as she was told if she was given money for it.Right now, Eugene had snatched her wine away, which was equivalent to snatching her cash away. Of course, she would not be pleased!She stumbled and pounced forward, wanting to get back the bottle of wine. "Give me back the wine! You give me back my wine!"Eugene grabbed her outstretched hand and stared at her with a cold gaze. He gritted his teeth and roared, "Get a grip of yourself! How did you end up in such a mess?""I want wine, you give me back my wine!" She was not in the mood to listen to Eugene's nonsense. All she wanted was her wine.Eugene was no longer able to suppress the anger bubbling within his chest, and he smashed the bottle of wine rut
It was the next morning when Fern woke up. She realized she was lying on the bed of a hotel room. She snapped out and sat up. She recalled accompanying others drinking alcohol last night. Besides, they even agreed to pay her if she drank the wine.For the sake of her daughter's medical fees, she put her life on the line to drink alcohol. She knew she vomited after drinking too much but she somehow could not recall what happened later on.Then, she woke up in the hotel. She wondered whether after she got drunk, some awful guy moved her to a hotel and made a move on her?She was shocked and anxious and quickly flipped the blanket. The clothes on her body had been changed into new garments by someone else. There was no alcohol scent and she was very clean. 'Did someone bathe me?'Apart from having a terrible hangover, she could not muster even an ounce of strength. She did not feel any discomfort elsewhere and did not notice any suspicious traits on her body.'Could it be that it was
‘That’s odd, was he the one who carried me into the room? Why didn’t I realize anything?’‘Was I that deeply asleep?’ The thought of it made her feel spooked. Fortunately, Simon did not act rashly.Sharon yawned and went to the hall. She saw Simon sitting on the sofa. He was wearing western trousers which were dark in color. He had fastened his necktie. His clean and handsome face was facing the laptop that was placed before him as he typed something.Judging from his tidy appearance, it seemed that he was sober. Besides, he was all set to head over to the company. ‘Is he waiting for me to wake up?’“You… since when were you awake?” She had no recollection about it. She started doubting herself whether or not she was that tired.Simon raised his head and looked at her, and answered seriously, “An hour ago.”Sharon looked at the clock on the wall. It was seven in the morning and he was quite awake despite the early hour.“Breakfast is over there. Once you’re done, I’ll send you t
For the next week, Sharon received location updates from Simon every single day that reported his whereabouts.She secretly decided that she had to look for a time to make things clear to him that this was unnecessary.When it was lunchtime, Sharon took a break from work and went to get lunch with her colleagues. Just then, her phone started ringing.She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Simon, so she went to the corridor to answer the phone.As soon as the call was connected, the man’s low magnetic voice was heard. He sounded somewhat solemn. “Come to the apartment right away. Our son is sick.”“Sebastian’s sick? What happened?” Sharon’s nerves tightened upon hearing her son’s condition.“When he went to school this morning, the teacher noticed that he had a fever and notified the housekeeper to take him home. But he really wants to see you right now.”“I’ll be right over.” She would not be in the right frame of mind to work knowing that her son was sick, so she took
It was not until two days later that Sebastian’s condition took a turn for the better and his fever finally subsided.The big piece of stone that had been weighing down on Sharon’s heart was finally released.Since his son had been eating vegetarian food for the past couple of days, his face had gotten somewhat thinner. As such, she decided to cook him meatloaf for dinner.Simon had been hard at work the whole day. When he returned to the apartment, he was met with the sight of a woman standing inside the kitchen in casual home clothes with her sleeves rolled up. She was cooking a meal, and her long hair was tied into a messy bun with some strands hanging by her ears. She looked gentle and beautiful at the same time.Since her back was facing the door, she did not notice his presence. Instead, she focused all her attention on cooking delicacies, and the kitchen was filled with the smell of food and warmth.He suddenly discovered that this was the simple life he had longed for—to b
Sharon stayed in Simon’s apartment for four days and took care of their son without a single day of rest. Now that the little guy was all better, she should be heading back to work like usual.However, her son was holding onto her and refusing to let her go.“Mommy, I want to live with you. My life is miserable without you,” Sebastian whined while hugging onto Mommy’s thigh. He had a rather pitiful look on his face.Sharon was also reluctant to part with her son, but it was stated in her divorce agreement with Simon that she did not have custody over Sebastian.“Mommy, I don’t wanna live in the Zachary household on my own. Grandpa’s gone now, and Daddy’s usually busy at work. He’s not at home all the time. And I have to get permission from Aunt Penelope before I get to see you. Why is my life so miserable? Boo-hoo…” The little guy closed his eyes and wailed, but not a single tear was coming out of his eyes.Sharon was well aware that the brat was merely trying to gain her sympathy
Riley hurriedly handed the suit in her hands over to him, saying, “See, I told you. This little problem is easily solved. It won’t affect your little get-up.”“What do you know?! I was planning on wearing this to confess my undying love to my crush. If I fail because of this tiniest flaw, will you get me another girlfriend?” Jim snarled at her angrily.Riley was throwing curses at him in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face. “No, that’s not going to happen. You can’t see the flaw at all. As long as you wear this suit, your crush will definitely accept your confession!”Sharon finally understood the situation. Jim must have asked for his suit to be custom-made in the shop Riley was in charge of. Somehow, she managed to screw it up and brought Jim back here to clean up the mess she made. It was just that, how could it be Jim? It was too much of a coincidence.Jim triple-checked his suit, and after Riley’s continuous coaxing, his dissatisfaction was quickly cleared up as
Perhaps since her son was back by her side, Sharon had been in a good frame of mind recently and became more motivated at work.After putting her son to sleep at night, she quietly got up and continued to finish up the day’s work.Without her knowing, it was getting very late at night but she was still immersed in the design drawings.Suddenly, she heard the sound of the door opening with a click and immediately jumped up in startlement. It was already in the middle of the night. Could there be a thief?Crap. She was an unarmed and defenseless woman with a child at home. Would she have to fight a thief off at night?She subconsciously went into the kitchen to look for a self-defense weapon, but it might have been a little too late now because she could already hear footsteps coming from inside the house.When she saw the ashtray on the table that Simon had used before, she took it without a moment of hesitation.After taking the ashtray, she hid in the corner, waiting for the fi
