Sharon parted her lips but gave up trying to argue with him. There was not much point to it anyway.“Quick, put your clothes on. If you catch a cold, I won’t be held responsible for it.” She no longer tried to help him and made him dress himself.Sebastian was still smiling as he put his clothes on. Then, he continued, “It’s alright. Now that I have Mommy by my side, I’m not afraid that no one will take care of me if I get sick.”Sharon frowned at his words. “Did no one take care of you when you got sick? How about your daddy?”Sebastian pretended to be sorrowful and sighed. “Daddy’s been very busy at work, and he was looking for you all over the place. Plus, Aunt Penelope kept forcing him to go on blind dates too, so he didn’t have time for me.”“Blind dates?” Was Penelope arranging blind dates for Simon?Sebastian grabbed her hand and said, “That’s right, Mommy. Since you’re no longer by Daddy’s side, he’s being forced to marry another woman. Aunt Penelope arranged that lady fr
Sebastian happily embraced his mommy, feeling immensely warm in her arms. “Mommy, please don’t leave us again, okay?” The little guy looked up at her while he was in her embrace.Sharon leaned her body sideways to stare at her son’s face, which was looking more and more like Simon’s. Under the dim lights, there was an unnoticeable trace of sadness flashing across her eyes.She could no longer give him any promises. Frankly speaking, even bringing her son back home tonight was something that had exceeded her boundaries.She should have fiercely refused them and cut off all contact with them, but her heart was not made of stone. She could not force herself to be so indifferent.Sharon wanted to be brazen this one time and allow herself to spend some time with her son for a couple of days before sending him away again.She proceeded to caress her son’s back while realizing how much taller and bigger he had gotten. However, he was a little bit on the thin side, so she asked, “Doesn’
Sharon frowned at his words. What kind of era was this guy living in? Why could one not have children without getting married first?However, the old man would be adamant about his way of thinking, so there was no need for her to argue with him over such matters. Not to mention, she had to leave her son in the Newton household for the day.“I’m just his mother for the time being.”Quinn found her words to be even more ridiculous and scoffed. “For the time being? So are you saying the kid is not yours?”“Of course, I’m Mommy’s son!” Sebastian shouted.Sharon refused to discuss this topic and pulled her son over to sit at the table.“I’ll be a little busy today, Grandpa, so Sebastian will be here to keep you company.”“I’m a loner, so I don’t need anyone accompanying me.” Quinn refused without the slightest hesitation.“Then… you can keep him company instead.”Quinn’s old face appeared stern when he said, “I don’t take care of kids.”“Great-grandpa, it’s easy to take care of me
“I have a daddy and a mommy, so I’m not a wild child!” The old man’s words managed to stir Sebastian up, making him immediately jump off the chair as he shouted at him furiously.“How impudent!” Quinn sneered. How dare a little brat challenge him?!His murky old eyes immediately glared at Sharon as he said, “Contact his parents immediately and demand them the compensation for the vase. Ask them to take this kid away as well!”Sharon was getting somewhat angry as well. She knew that the old man had a weird temperament, but he was clearly abusing his authority to hurt a child.“I’ll pay you back for the vase, but how can you bicker with a child at your age? You’ll become a laughing stock if outsiders find out about this,” said Sharon coldly.Quinn snorted back at her. “I’m already a laughing stock for accepting you back into the Newton household! You’re not even his mother, so why are you paying for his mistake? Call his parents over!”“I’m his mother for the time being, so I shoul
Sharon looked at him in astonishment. It was eight million dollars. Was he about to pay up so quickly?She felt that Simon was letting the old man get away with it so lightly!Quinn did not expect Simon to be so frank and straightforward as well. He suddenly said, “Hold on.”The pen in Simon’s hand paused as he looked at the old man in a puzzled manner. Quinn was not uttering a word and merely stared at him for quite some time. It seemed like something had flashed before his murky old eyes.Then, he quickly muttered, “Since you’re being so sincere, President Zachary, why don’t we change the mode of compensation?”Simon put his pen away as his thin lips curled into a half-smile. He asked, “What kind of mode are you speaking of?”Sharon had a bad feeling in her gut when she saw the old man smiling so insincerely.A sharp light flashed across Quinn’s eyes as he said, “I heard that you’ve successfully acquired one of Far East’s projects. As far as I know, the project is huge, and
Only Quinn possessed the right to speak inside the Newton household. His words were not something that Sharon could object to. Hence, Simon managed to move into the house as their guest!The crazier thing was that the old man had even arranged for him to stay in the guest house attached to Malvales Garden.Since she had invited Ceylon to stay in the guest house, then it meant the two of them would be staying together under the same roof.Although the entire guest house was not small and had more than one room, Sharon still felt the air around her becoming thinner with so many people staying here at the same time.The reason why she moved back into the Newton household was to avoid the father and son. Now, however, there was barely anywhere for her to escape to.She thought about moving into her research lab instead, but Ceylon was still staying in the Newton household. She could not possibly leave him here, could she?At this moment, Sharon and her servant brought Simon over to t
They had deliberately acted out the scene on purpose for Mommy to see. However, Daddy was so mean that he actually hit him!Simon stood still and watched as Sharon dragged their son away from him furiously. There was even a slight smile on his lips. Who said that she had stopped caring about her son?Moreover, he did not lose a project for nothing. He could now live in the Newton household and see her every day.Once Sharon pulled her son into the room, she took his clothes off and asked, “Come on, show me where he hit you.”When he turned, she saw that there was a red line across his back. If Simon had exerted more strength, her son’s skin would have torn.Damn! How could Simon do this to his own son?!Sharon was distressed as she asked, “Does it hurt? I’ll apply some ointment on it.”Sebastian shook his head, saying, “It doesn’t hurt that bad. I’m quite used to it.”When Sharon heard this, she immediately furrowed her brows. “You’re used to it? Does he hit you very often?”“
Sharon looked at the man’s handsome face that had a playful expression on it at the moment and took a deep breath. Would he think that she was avoiding him if she refused to get in his car?If she had truly lost her memory and forgotten about him, then there was no need for her to be afraid.To not arouse his suspicions, she curled her lips and calmly said, “Sure. Thank you, President Zachary.” After saying these words, she proceeded to hop into the car.As soon as she sat down, she could hear the man telling the driver to drive. The driver hurriedly stepped on the gas.Sharon was a little startled when she saw the passing scenery out the window. Why did it feel like she had fallen into a trap?When she turned her head, she almost bumped into the man who was almost within reach. She barely noticed when he even closed in on her and subconsciously retreated to the window, putting some distance between them.Looking at how she was avoiding him, Simon felt utterly displeased. He lock
