The man’s strong presence engulfed Sharon. Without lifting her head, Sharon already knew who the man was. Who else could be so daring and always did things as he pleased?'Simon! How dare he follow me here?!'Her breathing was erratic and her heart was beating fast. She was afraid that if this continued, her heart might even suddenly stop.She was absolutely anxious, yet she still tried her best to put on a calm expression. Subconsciously, she wanted to push him away.However, the man was one step ahead of her and he grabbed her wrists before immediately locking them behind her. His towering silhouette then slowly inched closer to her.At that moment, she was completely trapped in the boundaries of the man's power. She could not make a run for it.Her eyes were glittering with anxiety. She lifted her eyes and pretended to be mad as she glared at him. "You again? Didn't I say that I don't know you? What do you want?"Simon's dark eagle eyes that were like a deep pool were staring
Simon took in a breath, his dark eyes staring back at her. His back was against the lighting and his towering silhouette standing right before her, looking like the dark lord.He then chuckled softly and said with a hoarse voice that was filled with mockery, "It’s just a kiss and you’re saying I’m taking you lightly? Then what are you going to say for having given birth to my child?"Sharon's eyes glittered, but she quickly recovered and remained calm. "What child? I don't even know you. Stop talking nonsense and tainting my innocence!"Simon's eyes grew dark, and his huge palm grabbed her wrist, wanting to drag her away.Sharon was shocked. "What do you want now? Let go of me, you maniac!""I'm bringing you to a hospital for a check-up and to see whether or not you've given birth to my child."'He wants to bring me to a hospital for a check-up? Only a fool will follow him!'"Let go of me! Or else I'm going to shout!" 'Damn it. Why was Eugene not around at such a critical hour?
Eugene's eyes were cold and sharp as they stared at Fern's palm-sized face as if he wanted to see through her.She was still wearing the uniform of a server as she had been hired last minute to help with the party. When Hera slapped her, her clothes were also drenched by the alcohol.Eugene felt a pinch in his heart when he recalled her being so lowly and begging Hera for forgiveness on the floor. He could not suppress the flame of rage within him."Answer me! Just how desperate are you for money?!" He suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped her chin, forcing her to lift her face.Under the yellow streetlights, he could clearly see her face that had been hit till it was swollen. He really hated her current pitiful appearance.Fern looked into his eyes, and she did not feel any pain from her red and swollen eyes. However, deep in her heart, she was hurt.She looked at the prestigious man in front of her calmly and smiled. It was a smile filled with self-mockery and pity. "Yeah
If the incident tonight had not happened, she would have gotten her pay for the day and would have been back home to accompany her daughter.She had just hung up the call when not even two seconds later, her phone rang again.When she was about to reject the call, the man's huge hand suddenly stretched out to take the phone. "Why aren't you answering it?"Eugene took the phone and saw the contact name of the caller—’Dear’.'It’s such an intimate nickname. I wonder what relationship she shares with this person?’Fern could not snatch back her phone in time and Eugene had already answered the call. A girl’s childish yet clear voice was heard from the other end of the call. "Mom, are you done with work yet? I'm at home waiting for you to come back to sleep…"Both of them heard the child's voice and their eyes met each other once more. They did not speak a word.'She already has a daughter?'Eugene felt his heart tightening. 'But didn’t I already find out that she had a child two y
Simon had not been at home in the Zachary household these days as he was busy looking for Sharon. As such, Sebastian called him."Daddy, did you go and look for Mommy again?" Sebastian got to know about Simon's whereabouts after asking the butler.These two years, Simon would always personally head to the location whenever he received news about Sharon, but every time, he would return disappointed.Eventually, even Sebastian did not have much hope left. He thought to himself that Simon would definitely be disappointed once more."Yeah, do you want to meet her?" Simon was thinking hard about how he should approach Sharon who did not seem to recognize him anymore.If it were not for his son calling him, he would have really forgotten about a fact. 'She can forget me, but she can't possibly forget her son, right?""I don't want to meet her." Currently, Sebastian was already a seven-year-old kid. He was no longer as childish as he was two years ago. He was becoming more and more like
Eugene's eyes darkened. "No matter what, he's still my grandfather. In this world, aside from you, he's the closest family I have left."He could not deny the fact that his grandfather was very stern to him since he was young, and he did not receive much love from his grandfather either. However, to someone like him, it was a lucky thing that he still had someone dear to him whom he could appreciate.The two locked eyes for some time before Sharon sighed. "Then tell me, what's going on between you and that female server from before?"When she brought up Fern, it made Eugene frown. His expression changed as he recalled the events that had happened last night—of her tearing the check and her back figure stubbornly leaving the scene.He closed his eyes and said with a very deep voice, "She's my ex-girlfriend. We broke up later on."Sharon did not question him further as the answer was as what she had expected.She need not ask as she already knew the reason behind their breakup.Sh
Sharon was immediately stunned when she saw the woman whom Jim had brought back home. It was her best friend, Riley!She subconsciously wanted to hide but immediately pushed aside that idea. ‘Where can I even hide?'Since I can't hide from her, I'm going to face her head-on.'What puzzled her most was why Riley was with Jim. 'Don't tell me that she's in a relationship with Jim?'For the past two years when she was not around, she had always wondered what had happened to her best friend.Obviously, Riley was walking toward her.She ignored how those weird adults were looking at her and immediately rushed to Sharon’s side. She grabbed Sharon’s shoulders and glanced at her. She was delighted, but at the same time, she found it hard to believe. "Shar, is it you? Is it really you?"The accident that happened two years ago had made her think that she could no longer meet with Sharon again. After all, Simon had sent his men to look for her whereabouts for so long but his efforts were f
"Grandpa, I’ve forgotten to introduce her to you." Jim brought Riley to the front of the old man and said with a chuckle, "This is Riley. She's my girlfriend, your future granddaughter-in-law."Quinn's old eyes darkened as he stared at Riley with a sharp gaze. ‘Granddaughter-in-law? Does such a woman have what it takes to be one?'"Jim, what nonsense are you talking about? Since when did I allow you to have a girlfriend?" Scarlet quickly scolded her son. It seemed that she was also not satisfied with the girlfriend her son had brought over this time.Sharon looked at her best friend quietly. 'She really is in a relationship with Jim?'She got into a relationship with Jim without knowing his personality?'"Mom, I thought you allowed me to get a girlfriend? Now that I’ve brought her back to meet everyone, you're objecting to it?" Jim snorted."I… I did allow you to get a girlfriend, but not someone like this…"Riley disliked listening to such a comment. She stared at Scarlet and a
