“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
Sharon turned around to look at Germaine. From the expression on her face, the woman did not seem to be prevaricating. This would mean that her mother really had known her adoptive father. "Do you think this perfume smells good then?" Germaine nodded. "Of course. A fragrance created by a master perfumer is different from the commercial ones on the market. Besides, the scent of this perfume lasts much longer than any of the designer perfumes out there."Germaine stared at the bottle of scent. Back then, she had wished that she could own a unique perfume like that as well...Sadly, in those days, she was just a lowly secretary who worked for Caleb Newton. She was in no position to use a custom perfume like that. Sharon lowered her eyes. Naturally, she was aware of the unique qualities of the perfumes her adoptive father had created. She was still conducting research on how to make the scent of perfume last longer. "Why didn't you ask my mother who created this perfume?" Sharo
Although the last perfume roadshow had gotten disrupted by Simon and Sebastian’s sudden appearance, the perfume that Sharon had created, Lovesick, had still received excellent feedback from the public. After several trials, she has successfully developed Lovesick. She was going to start her perfume brand next, and now she had to find an ambassador for her brand. She did not want to look for a famous celebrity. Instead, Sharon wanted to hold an audition to look for an ambassador with the appearance and quality that matched well with her perfume. The audition was in full swing. It was now the finals. There were ten shortlisted candidates. She had to choose one person out of the ten candidates in the final round today. Ceylon Frank and the professional perfumers hired by Eugene had been the ones overlooking the previous rounds of the audition, so Sharon did not know who were the candidates that had been shortlisted. After arriving at the venue, she was shocked after catc
“Mummy, I’m here,” Sebastian suddenly called out. He ran into the venue and hugged her. Sharon turned around and saw that her son was wearing a formal suit today with a burgundy-colored bow. He looked like a handsome little gentleman.“Who brought you here?” she asked. As soon as she finished speaking, Simon’s upright figure appeared before her. She raised her eyes and was met with the sight of his exceptionally handsome face. He was dressed in a formal suit as well. However, the color of his tie caught her attention. The color of his tie matched the color of their son’s bow. She looked at both of them and suddenly thought of something. She lowered her head and realized that she was wearing a burgundy-colored dress today...They had deliberately matched their clothes to hers. Not only was it a couple look, but it was a matching family look as well! Simon was definitely behind all of this. She did not expect him to have such a cunning plan. Plenty of people had noticed th
Simon’s deep, lilting voice made its way into her heart. Her heart skipped a beat as her breathing grew erratic. Just as she was about to push him away reflexively, he stood up straight and cast a piercing glance at her. He then followed Sebastian to their seats. Sharon remained standing there in a daze. She was overcome with shock and embarrassment. How despicable! After whispering in her ear, he had bitten it. A burst of numbness spread out from her ears to her limbs! If this was not a public event, she would have slapped him right across the face! Her ears flared up in heat. The burning sensation did not dissipate after a long time... "Sharon, why are you standing here in a daze?" Eugene, who had just arrived, asked as he patted her from behind. Sharon was shocked. “Don’t you know that you almost scared me to death!” she shouted out in annoyance. Eugene gave her a once-over and smiled as he raised his brows at her. “Why do you seem so guilty? Look at how shocked y
Was Eugene attracted to Fern because of this? Regardless of the reason, she would not allow someone to snatch him from her, especially if it was a lowly woman like this! “Oh, why are you here?” Hera asked, feigning a look of surprise. Fern was shocked to see her as well. Looking at the coffee stains on her dress, she knew that Hera had deliberately spilled the coffee on her.“Hera, who is she?” Several of Hera’s friends, who were all here to support her, stood by her side. They all gave Fern a once-over. "I don't know her, but she was the waitress that spilled wine on me during my birthday party," Hera said in a mocking tone. "Oh, so she's the one that spilled wine on you. Why don't you continue being a waitress? Why are you here to participate in an audition?" "That's right. Do you expect Miss Newton to select a waitress to be the ambassador of her perfume? Hahaha…" Hera’s friends mocked and ridiculed Fern. The commotion attracted the other candidates’ attention as
