“He’s dead,” Fern articulated the two words nonchalantly. Although that man was still alive, he was already dead to her. Eugene’s heart gradually sank as it did previously when he heard her reply. He could not describe what he was feeling right now. Sharon sighed sentimentally. Why did Fern’s experience remind her so much of herself? They were both single mothers, and their children were without their fathers’ care from a young age...However, she was suspicious about something. Was Eugene not the father of Fern’s child? Nevertheless, she was not sure about what had happened between the both of them. Perhaps the child really had nothing to do with her brother. “I’ve told you everything that I can. If you think that I’m not qualified to endorse your perfume, you have to pay me compensation. We can then dissolve our cooperation,” Fern said regretfully. However, she still wanted the money. Sharon returned to her senses and said, “I just wanted you to be honest with me. Sinc
The man lifted Sharon’s chin to force her to look into his eyes. His handsome eyebrows were furrowed together and a hint of displeasure was hidden in his bottomless sharp eyes.She was suddenly amused. Was he jealous that she was treating another woman kindly?Was he being jealous of a woman?She curled her lips and said deliberately, “Yeah, I’m pursuing her. I want her to be mine, is that not allowed?”“It’s not allowed,” Simon uttered those three words insipidly from his lips.Before she said anything, he continued, “Firstly, I’m your person. Next, she’s Eugene’s person.”Sharon pressed her lips together and pushed his chest with her hands that were resting there. “Firstly, you’re just pursuing me and not my person. Secondly, I signed her to be my ambassador and she has nothing to do with my brother.”She frowned. How did he know about Fern and her brother?Simon straightened his back and towered over her with a half-smile. “The internet is having a field day over her dark pa
Simon curled his thin lips. He had been waiting for her to say this.“If you insist on having her be your ambassador, why don’t you pass her to me to handle? I have a professional team for all promotions and packaging-related work. I can prevent her from being around Eugene and stop them from having any kind of conflicts.”Sharon finally understood what he wanted. He said that he would not let Fern appear in front of Eugene, but in reality, he just did not want Sharon to interact with Fern too much.“I didn’t expect you to be so scheming as a man. Are you afraid that I’ll pursue her and that I’ll fall in love with a woman?” She scoffed coldly.The man rolled his eyes and leaned down to get close to her ear. He said in a low voice, “Before I can get you, I won’t allow anyone to be an obstacle.”Heh… This statement was so overbearing!Sharon’s heart tightened while her breathing became rapid. She quickly suppressed the pounding of her heart and said with a cold face, “Don’t worry,
Fern could feel him loosening his grip on her, and she felt her heart falling into the abyss once again.She knew it would be impossible for them to get back together but she still said such a thing. Was she not bringing this upon herself by doing it? Now, she could see his true face once again. On the surface, it seemed as if he cared for her, but in reality, he was afraid that people would find out about their precious relationship.It felt as if her heart had been ripped apart. It was so painful that it was making it hard for her to breathe.She wanted to slap herself. Why was she still fantasizing about him?Her heart ached, but she still had to pretend that she was fine. With a cold and mocking smile, she said, “Look, you can’t give me what I want! If that’s the case, please don’t pretend you’re doing this for my sake. Do you know that what you’re doing now is very selfish and annoying?”Eugene’s face fell, and he allowed her to yell at him, taking it as if she was venting
Actually, he was extremely jealous when he found out that she had a child with someone else.“I’ve never seen her before,” he said with no expression on his face.Sharon let out a sigh of relief for some reason. It was fine if he had never met her. However, her heart started to feel heavy again.According to Simon, he discovered that Eugene was the father of Fern’s child from what he could find.Since the child was his, would she also have that gene?However, she could not talk to him about the child.“I think you’ll be able to take care of the matter of her dark past being exposed online, but we should find who’s the one behind this to prevent such things from happening.” Sharon changed the topic.“Who do you think it is?” When Eugene heard her tone, he seemed to know what was happening.Sharon shrugged. “It’s easy. Who's been pursuing you recently?”Eugene narrowed his thin eyes. “Hera Hamilton?”“Smart.” She patted his shoulder. “However, it’s best if you find some evidenc
That sweet and adorable doll-like girl was Fern Thompson’s daughter? The girl had inherited her mother’s beauty. She was already a belle even though she was still a child.Sharon observed the girl carefully. Most of her features resembled Fern, but she still bore evident similarities to Eugene. Take his characteristic thick brows and pointed eyes, for instance. Eugene knew that Fern had a child, but he did not know that the child belonged to him. Perhaps he had never expected that they would have a child together.Fern had hidden the truth from him. However, Sharon only got to know about this from Simon’s investigation, so she did not dare to conclude that the child really belonged to Eugene. “What’s wrong, Rue?” Fern asked. She was always extremely anxious whenever her daughter fell sick as she had been in poor health ever since she was born. “I don’t know either. I just don’t feel well all of a sudden,” Rue said, lowering her head in a dispirited manner. Fern rea
Sharon remained silent. She perfectly understood how Fern felt and why she had come to make such decisions.Perhaps all Fern felt for Eugene was hatred right now. “What are both of you talking about?” Fern asked. She had just collected Rue’s medications and noticed that the both of them were deep in conversation when she returned to the ward. “Oh, Rue asked me to make a bottle of perfume for you. She wants you to smell good all the time,” Sharon said. She did not tell her about the latter half of their conversation. “Don’t listen to her. I don’t need something like that.” Sharon raised her brow. “That won’t work. It’s okay if you didn’t use perfume in the past, but you’re now the ambassador of my perfume. You need to use it. I’ll give you a few bottles later. You can ask me for more after you’re done using them,” she said. “This… Isn’t this inappropriate?” Fern asked awkwardly. “You need to use my perfume to be considered as a qualified ambassador.” Fern could not arg
Sharon’s heart skipped a beat at the sight of Simon standing before her. She had wanted to bring Sebastian to the hospital without Simon knowing. She did not expect him to return home right at this moment.While she was still caught in a daze, Sebastian flung her hand away and ran to his father’s side. “Daddy, I don’t want to go to the hospital for a check-up. I’m not sick!” Sebastian said. Teachers tended to organize regular physical examinations for the children at school, and many of them disliked it. This was the case for Sebastian as well. Simon landed a confused gaze on Sharon. “He’s perfectly fine. Why are you bringing him to the hospital?” he asked her in a questioning tone. His gaze had always been deep, but due to Sharon’s guilt, she felt like his gaze was exceptionally sharp right now. It seemed to pierce through her entire being. Her heart quivered as she turned away from him and feigned a calm stance. “There have been many cases of influenza lately, so I’
