However, she had raised this brother of hers with her own two hands. How could she stand handing him over to another woman like this?Simon did not want to provoke his sister further. After all, their mother had died relatively early in life, and his sister was the one who took care of him. As such, he had to give her credit for that.He turned around to look at Sharon behind him and whispered, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the doctor.” He did not forget about her red and swollen face.He held Sharon’s hand, and she abruptly realized that this was a public setting. She wanted to shove him off, but he held her firmly, not allowing her to break free.The two looked at each other, and she saw the determination in his eyes. It was as if as long as he was there, nothing could go wrong.As if she had been possessed by something, she went along and followed him, letting him lead the way.Penelope was initially planning to stop them, but seeing that Simon’s thoughts were all focused on Sha
When Simon heard her question, his beautiful brows furrowed deeply once more. He pinched her chin and lifted it so that she would be gazing at him.“When did your comprehension skill become this bad? I was asking you to come back to me, not come back to work for me.”Seeing that he was somewhat anxious and annoyed, Sharon felt rather amused by it. Of course, she understood what he meant earlier, but it was better for her to clarify some things.She raised her eyebrows and deliberately responded, “Oh? So you don’t want me to return to your company? See, I told you. I knew that there isn’t one company that’d dare to hire me. They’ll be afraid that something’s wrong with my design. If it kills another person, then that’ll be the end of them.”Simon narrowed his dark eyes. “So, what you’re saying is, you don’t just want to get back together with me but you’d like to come back to the company as well? When did you get so greedy?” His thin lips curled slightly after he was done speaking.
Sharon was wondering why on earth did he bring her here? Then, he got out of the car and stretched his arm out to her. “Come out.”She placed her hand on his palm and got out of the car. That was when she saw a yacht docked by the shore. She wondered if he was planning to take her out to sea?He held onto her hand tightly and walked toward the yacht.“President Zachary,” greeted his subordinates. They were already by the bank, waiting for his arrival.Without uttering another word, he took her straight onto the yacht.“Are we going out to sea?” Sharon could not help but ask.“Yes,” he answered while nodding, no longer being so mysterious about it.Once the two got on the yacht, the captain sailed the vessel out of the dock and headed toward the seas upon receiving Simon’s instruction.They were just in time to watch the sunset. The reddish sun hung like a disc on sea level, and the orange-red sunlight cast a reddish glow on everyone’s faces.It had been a while since she witne
Sharon initially thought that Simon was going to hold a banquet on the yacht. Otherwise, why would he ask them to help her put on an evening dress and even doll her up as well?Once she was ready, the servants brought her out again. She smelled great after the bath, so even her spirits were lifted.Sharon was taken to the open-air restaurant on the yacht. The sun had set into the west, and a faint sea breeze was blowing in the air. There was even a bright crescent moon in the sky with a few twinkling stars around.Before she had time to revel in the beautiful scenery, she was attracted by the man standing not far ahead.Simon had changed into a more formal suit. His navy blue suit matched her dark blue dress, and his diamond cuff links were sparkling out aristocratic rays of light.At this moment, he looked even taller and more handsome in the dim light, not to mention enchantingly grandeur.She was stunned by his appearance for quite some time.The female servant nudged her, sa
After making a wish, she lowered her head to blow out the candles.“Happy birthday!” The man’s voice rang beside her ear.She turned to the side to look at him. Under the candlelight, the man’s eyebrows appeared clean and straight while his dark-colored eyes looked immensely profound. She tiptoed and took the initiative to kiss his lips, saying, “Thank you for preparing all of this for me.”They looked at each other, and the man’s eyes turned scorching hot. His voice was low when he replied, “A mere word of thanks isn’t enough.”The next moment, he grabbed onto her waist and pressed her into his embrace, lowering his head to land a kiss on her.Sharon took a deep breath, and her heart started beating somewhat confusedly. She did not try to push him away this time as his gesture had utterly moved her.When his lips moved away from hers, he pressed their foreheads together. They were close enough to hear each other’s breathing.Sharon still had her eyes closed shut, and the corner
Sharon was overwhelmed by his sudden marriage proposal. Was he not just celebrating her birthday with her?Why did it become a marriage proposal?She found it hard to calm down, so she merely stared at him, not knowing what to do.Simon’s dark eyes looked at her deeply and he asked, “Are you unwilling to marry me?”“No, that’s not it… Please get up.”It was not that she was unwilling. On the contrary, she had nearly immediately agreed to it without much thought, but soon, she quickly snapped back to reality.Could they even genuinely get married?“Then I’ll assume that you said yes.” The man stood up, took her hand, and put the diamond ring on her finger without saying anything else.“Hey, you…” She did not have the chance to refuse when he put the diamond ring that was the size of a dove’s egg on her ring finger.“You’re not allowed to take it off,” he said domineeringly.Sharon pursed her lips and said, “I didn’t even agree to it yet…”“I gave you a chance earlier,” the ma
Simon raised his eyebrows at her request and said, “Sure, I can give you the reward first.”He proceeded to make a call and told the person on the other line to commence the job.Sharon was filled with curiosity. Then, after a short while, there were fireworks being set off above the sea’s surface not far away!The splendidly bright fireworks started blooming near the sea, and the beauty of this scene reached a pinnacle. The sight brought nothing but delight to the audience.Then, the fireworks even formed the words ‘Happy Birthday’ in the sky, revealing yet another surprise that he had planned for her birthday!“How is it? Isn’t it beautiful?” The man embraced her while they admired the fireworks by the sea.“It’s gorgeous…” She could not help but gasp in admiration.The man lowered his head to her ear and whispered, “Then shouldn’t you be saying something to me?”Sharon turned her gaze over to meet his eyes, and the light from the blooming fireworks was reflected in them. It
Simon appeared relatively calm when faced with these reporters who seemingly popped up out of nowhere.For someone who had never accepted any interviews before, he went as far as to answer some of the reporters’ questions this time.“Yes. We went out to sea to celebrate Sharon’s birthday last night, and she has accepted my proposal,” Simon said while circling his long arms around Sharon’s waist. It seemed like they were very in love with each other.Sharon looked at him in a puzzled manner. Why was he saying these things to the reporters?Was this not equal to announcing to the world that they would be getting married soon?Sure enough, the reporters immediately asked excitedly, “So does that mean your wedding is under preparation? May we know when the date will be?”“You will be notified when the time comes,” Simon said with a low voice.Sharon was startled by this. She had agreed to his marriage proposal, but she never agreed to get married so soon!The reporters started cong
