He lifted his hands and tucked the stray strands of hair on her cheeks behind her ears. He said in a low voice, “Yes. I plan on taking you out for a ride. I hope you’ll do me the honor of keeping me company.”The man’s fingertips lightly brushed across her cheeks. They were slightly cold to the touch, and her breathing unconsciously became somewhat disorderly. She turned her face to the side and mockingly said, “You forcibly brought me here against my will. Now you’re being polite about it?”Once the yacht left the docks, it arrived in the middle of the river and fireworks were abruptly lit up not far away. It was just like the night he proposed to her.Sharon looked up at the gorgeous fireworks in amazement, and memories were replaying inside her mind just like a movie. She was utterly stunned for a while.Simon was determined to fix his eyes on her as he stood beside her, not wanting to miss the slightest change in the expression on her face.“Is this scene very familiar to you?
At some point, the fireworks finally stopped.All of Sharon’s resistance and struggle vanished with the man’s kiss.In the past two years, countless fearless women had taken the initiative to entangle and involve themselves with this man. However, he was never once aroused by them, and neither did he have any sort of interest in them.However, he would seem to lose all control whenever he was with the woman in front of him.“Sharon, I don’t care whether you’ve truly forgotten me, or you’re merely pretending to. But you can only be mine…” The man’s thin lips muttered out an unreasonable and domineering remark. His dark eyes were filled with firm resolve.He was unwilling to let her go, and he wished that he could tie her up by his side permanently.She had promised to marry him, so there was no room for her to back out now!Sharon’s heart was beating rapidly. The cool night breeze caressed her face along with the man’s words, and it was as if her whole person had been woken up ab
If she had a choice, she would have chosen to continue hugging him like this forever. However… Why did she have to be the cursed Sienna Newton?!Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, mixing with the water from the river. One could not tell whether they were tears or merely water.…Inside a room in the yacht, Simon was sitting by the bed after changing into a clean set of clothes.The unconscious woman was lying on the bed at the moment. He wondered what kind of dream she was having as she was currently crying from sadness.His heart tightened up when he saw the crystal-like tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.He leaned over to approach her, and his long finger gently wiped off the teardrops on her face. There was a frown on his face as he gazed at her profoundly.“I merely kissed you. Did you have to react so aggrievedly?” Simon whispered to the unconscious woman, and his eyes were filled with gloominess.The woman’s eyelashes fluttered slightly at this moment, a
Sharon sensed the change in the man’s gaze. Her face instantly turned hot, and she grabbed a pillow, throwing it at Simon. “You hoodlum! Don’t look!” she exclaimed and hastily snatched at the sheets to cover herself. Simon caught the pillow and stared intensely at her embarrassed little face. Voice low, he murmured, " Woman, I promised not to touch you for the time being, but you have to understand—I can’t wait for too long, so you’d better remember me quickly.”Sharon’s face burned even more. She grabbed another pillow and threw it at him, shrieking in mortification and anger, “Get lost!”By the time Simon brought Sharon back to the Newton family residence, it was already the next morning.When Ceylon saw her getting down from Simon’s car, he could not help but ask, “Why didn’t you come back last night?”When he noticed Simon getting out of the car behind her, he was startled. "You… were you two together last night?"Simon’s hawk-like eyes swept coldly over Ceylon, wishing de
The doctor also spoke up, “It’s best if the both of you don’t disturb the patient. What she needs now is rest.”The two grown men finally shut their mouths, but they had no intentions to leave.Sharon could not help but request, “Teacher, a batch of flowers from the nursery will be delivered today. I’m in no shape now to go to the laboratory, can I trouble you to handle it?”Those flowers were raw materials that needed to be handled properly. Otherwise, the fragrance when extracted would not be pure enough. Naturally, Ceylon understood this, and seeing that her illness was not a mild one, he could only nod. “Have a good rest, then. You can leave the laboratory matters to me.”“Thank you.”“There’s no need for courtesy between us.’Simon heard their exchange and felt his chest constrict tightly. She was thinking of someone else during such a critical moment. Sharon then looked at the cold-faced man, and her tone was completely different from before as she said, "Don't you have
“I’m afraid I’m going to have to disappoint you. You’ll be seeing me every day until you recall everything about me from before.” Simon locked his gaze with hers as he spoke unhurriedly.Sharon was stunned. Did this mean that she would not be able to get away from him?Curling her lips, she sneered lightly, “I already said that I’m not the one you’re looking for. How am I supposed to recall anything about you?”“No matter. If you still can’t recall anything, I still have an entire lifetime to waste with you.” It was enough as long as he could see her every day and have her by his side. Sharon felt a sharp twist in her heart but kept her eyes on him. Had he gone mad?She looked away. Hiding the shock in her eyes, she said deliberately and coldly, "I really haven't met such a stubborn and hateful man like you before."Pausing for a moment, she continued, “I got sick after being caught up with you once. Won’t I be plagued by misfortune every day if I keep getting involved with you?
Sharon bit her lip. There was no way the old man was that kind. He must be thinking of using her to gain more benefits for himself.Just as she was about to refuse dining with him, her son came barreling in right at that moment. It seemed that the teacher was done with their classes. Simon had specially invited the teacher to teach the child in their home as he did not want to delay his son’s lessons.“Mommy, are you up? Are you feeling better?” Sebastian reached out his tiny hands to feel her forehead before touching his own. “Alright, you no longer have a fever.”“Your mommy slept the entire afternoon and hasn’t eaten anything. Ask her to come and eat,” Simon said to his son.“Really? Mommy, let’s go eat together. I’m also hungry.” Sebastian pulled her hand while looking at her impatiently. Seeing the look on her son, how could she have the heart to refuse him?She glared at the tall man next to him. How ruthless he was for using her son to entrap her!The three of them sat
Seeing her face scrunch up in pain, Simon let go of his hand. “Did you injure yourself?”Sharon gasped in pain. She had been enduring it before but could not any longer when he suddenly grabbed her leg.They called over the family doctor in the end. “It looks like she sprained her ankle when she slipped. Apply some ointment on it and rest for two days. In the meantime, try not to get out of bed or walk around.” The doctor brought out a pain-relieving ointment and passed it to Simon, instructing him, “First, apply the ointment where she’s injured only once before applying it three times a day starting tomorrow. With some good rest, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”Simon nodded, expressing his understanding. Then, the doctor left. Simon sat by her legs, gripping her fair calf with his large palms as he prepared to apply the ointment on her. Her heart unconsciously skipped a beat when the warmth of the man’s palm came in contact with her skin. She said hastily, “Let go
