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
She could not be bothered to explain anymore, but that did not mean she did not know what the old man was thinking.She would not let the old man do as he wished because she had never thought of getting back together with him.After he carried her into the car, her lips curved into a small smile as she mocked, “You can’t possibly think of me as something that you have to carry out all the time, right?”The man stared at her expressionlessly. His pitch-black eyes were calm and serene. How could he not understand that she was saying that just to anger him on purpose?“I’m your suitor now. This is a rare opportunity for me to be chivalrous. Before your ankle is healed, I’ll carry you to and fro from work.”The smile on her lips vanished a little. She locked eyes with him wordlessly for a few seconds. This man was really… not fun!Seeing her purse her lips and turn her head away, the corners of the man’s mouth curled without a word.When they reached the research institute, he got F
“President Zachary, you can’t sleep at night? Could it be that you can’t get used to staying in the Newton household? Why don’t you find a different place to stay in, then?” Sharon felt that he would not have insomnia that way.Simon furrowed his eyebrows almost imperceptibly, and his tone was mild as he said, “It’s not a recent problem. I’ve been having this problem for the past two years. When you’re not around, I can’t sleep at night.”Surprisingly, he spoke with affectionate sentiments once again. Sharon raised her head and met his deep, dark eyes. She zoned out for a moment…“I can vouch for him. Daddy really misses you so much every night that he can’t sleep.” Her son came to his aid too.Sharon looked at the father and son duo. Even if it was true, she could not be moved.“In that case, I’m so very sorry. I don’t have enough ingredients here to make the scent you want.”Sebastian looked sympathetically at his daddy and sighed. “Now what? Daddy, it seems you’ll have to cont
Who asked him to stubbornly make the decision to carry her inside?The smile on Germaine’s face became a little weird, and her evaluating gaze turned a little gloomy as well.Quinn gave a cold scoff. He slammed the chess piece in his hand down heavily, his face looking cold as he said angrily, “You have no sense of courtesy at all! President Zachary was kind enough to carry you in, yet this is the way you’re speaking?”Sharon pursed her lips. For the sake of profits, the old man was treating Simon so well now that if someone did not know any better, they would think that Simon was his actual grandson!“President Zachary, please don’t hold it against her. She’s just a wild girl who’s used to her wild ways as she’s been living outside since she was young. She doesn’t know proper etiquette,” Quinn continued saying to Simon.Simon was not angry, though. He was even looking dotingly at the woman in his arms. “It’s fine. I’m her suitor now, and I rarely have the chance to prove my court
After finally driving off the troublesome father and son duo, Sharon lay on the sofa and thought about what Simon and the old man had said. The old man had taken the initiative to propose the idea of a joint marriage in front of them. It seemed like he had intended to do so a long time ago. It was no wonder he allowed Simon to walk in and out of the Newton household freely and let him do as he wished. He was undoubtedly after Simon’s massive family business! Her brother, Eugene, had become the old man’s best pawn. She was not that foolish. She would not become a tool for him to gain benefits. Therefore, she would not marry Simon regardless of the tricks he had up his sleeves. She was lost in thought when she heard some sounds coming from the room next door. She froze and listened to the noise intently. She was the only one living here right now. Her maid, Emmy, was staying downstairs. Eugene had once told her that the room next door was their parents’ bedroom. Sh
