Sharon unconsciously walked up to the wall and looked at her parents’ wedding photo. It looked like they were still very young at the time, and their mother appeared to be in her 20s.In this photo, their father, Caleb, appeared to be a tall and big man. He looked rather upright and handsome, giving out a sense of elegance and righteousness.As for their mother, she had a brilliant pair of eyes while the rest of her features were delicate too. She looked like the gentle and pretty daughter of a humble family, and even though her appearance was not exceedingly beautiful, she was even more stunning the longer one looked at her. Plus, her temperament seemed to be something out of this world.It was just that in this wedding photo, Sharon could not sense any bliss, especially in their mother’s expression. On the contrary, it was as if she was very reluctant to marry their father.Eugene had said that it was a marriage to connect two families, so the elders had arranged it for them.Sh
Eugene looked slightly startled as he never expected that she would ask such a question so suddenly. He shook his head and replied, “I’m not so sure myself.”“Really?” She looked into his eyes, attempting to find some clues.Eugene still looked as calm as always, and it did not seem like he was trying to hide anything from her. He found it somewhat odd and asked, “Did our stepmother say something to you just now?”Sharon lowered her eyes. “Not really.” She could not bring herself to believe Germaine’s words, so she wanted to get more information from him instead.Eugene was silent for a few seconds and started recalling what had happened that year. Finally, he unhurriedly explained, “The driver picked me up from school that day, and I could hear our parents arguing about something. That’s when I found out that my little sister had gone missing. I immediately ran out looking for you, but the world seemed so big to me back then and there were so many people outside that I didn’t know
Sharon looked at her son who had suddenly shown up in front of her. At this moment, she could see all the unbearable anger on his tiny face while his eyes were filled with grief.It was as if her heart had broken into a million pieces. She was so distressed that she almost lost all control and took him into her arms!She wondered if he had been doing well in the past two years of her absence…Her son had grown a lot taller and his childishness from two years ago seemed to have vanished as well. Now he and Simon were getting more and more alike, not only in terms of appearance but also the cold temperament that was exuding from the child’s body.Although the little guy had grown taller, he looked thinner as well. Was this kid skipping his meals?How on earth had Simon been taking care of their kid?When the mother and son were in a silent confrontation, the media reporters below the stage were gathering around and taking pictures continuously. Some of them could not wait to inquir
She decided to be cruel and put on a deadpan look on her face. Then, she shoved the little guy’s hand away while pretending to have lost her patience. With a scowl, she said, “Whose kid is this? Don’t go around calling other people your mom!”When Sebastian was shoved away by her, he was immediately stunned. Sharon’s actions had clearly wounded him, and he pondered if Mommy had truly forgotten about him?Sebastian wanted to approach her once more, but a tall figure appeared and pulled him back to his side.“He’s my son,” Simon said after coming up the stage from seemingly out of nowhere while looking straight into Sharon’s eyes. Simon’s appearance stirred up the reporters even more. Frankly speaking, everyone had heard about him having a son with an unknown woman. However, due to the power he held, no one dared to report this news even if they wanted to.Now that he was taking the initiative to disclose his son’s identity, the reporters would certainly not miss publishing such br
Sharon knew that Eugene would eventually catch up to them. He certainly would never allow Simon to take her away so easily.It was just that she never expected him to block Simon’s car so quickly.Sebastian took a look at the situation outside and instantly knew that these people were here to take his mommy away. As such, he jumped into her arms and hugged her tightly, saying, “I’ll not let you leave, Mommy. You’re not allowed to abandon Daddy and me again!”His tone had gotten as domineering as his father’s!There was a flash in Simon’s eagle-like eyes, and he said to his son in a cold voice, “Take good care of her and don’t allow her to get out of the car.” After saying this, he pushed the car door open and faced Eugene on his own.Sharon could not help but stare at the two men outside the car nervously. This scene seemed to have taken her back to two years ago when every time these two met, they would always be at daggers drawn.Two years ago, those situations happened because
Bam! There was a sound of the car door closing and opening behind Simon. Then, the woman’s figure came running toward them.When Sharon saw Eugene aiming the gun at Simon in the car, she could feel her heart jumping to her throat.If her son had not been pulling at her, she would have come over long ago.“Brother…” Sharon called out. At this moment, she was terrified of him shooting Simon, yet she deliberately twisted her words and said, “This b*stard kidnapped me, so make sure to get payback for me!”Sebastian had gotten out of the car to chase after her, and he was utterly shocked upon hearing her words. He quickly grabbed onto her hand while yelling, “Mommy, you can’t be so mean to Daddy!”She looked down at her son, feeling hesitant and conflicted. She could not allow herself to go with them! No way!She toughened herself up and pushed her son away with force. Then, she deliberately scowled at him fiercely. “I told you I’m not your mother! Get lost!”Perhaps she had exerted
Eugene sent Sharon over to the research lab and left. Unfortunately, the trouble that happened back at the mall had caused a bit of a stir, so he needed to head to the media companies of the respective reporters who had taken photos of the incident and try to control the situation.When Sharon came back, Ceylon noticed that her eyes were still a little red and swollen. He hesitatingly asked, “So the kid is yours?”He was naturally present during the perfume introductory event and saw the scene of the boy running onto the stage, calling her ‘Mommy’.Sharon looked at him upon hearing his question. She knew that he was only caring about her and not trying to gossip like the others.It was just that she was not in the mood to discuss this matter further.“No. He got the wrong person.”As her mentor, Ceylon could still somewhat read her thoughts. At the very least, he understood that she did not want to talk about it.“Ah, so he got it wrong. That just means you look a lot like the c
Xena was slightly startled. She had just arrived and he was already trying to chase her out. Naturally, there was a slight discomfort in her heart, but she still tried to behave sensibly.“Rest assured, I’m only here to take care of you and Sebastian. I know that you’ve been looking for Sharon this whole time, and I’ve also been hoping that she’ll come back as soon as possible. Plus, Sebastian needs his mother.”Simon narrowed his eyes at her for a few seconds and said coldly, “Since you’re on the same page… that’s good.”The father and son proceeded to sit down on the other end of the sofa and ignored her.Xena’s lips were still curled up into a smile, making her look innocent and harmless. She looked as if she was genuinely wholeheartedly thinking about what was best for them.It was just that anger arose when she lowered her eyes, and she secretly clenched her hands into tight fists. She had gotten fed up with Simon always ignoring her. How could she tolerate him chasing afte
