However, Sharon was standing at one side where she looked at the mother and daughter in confusion. Was making friends such a happy thing?Fern could see her confusion and explained, “Rue hasn't had a father since she was a child, and the other kids don’t want to play with her or be her friends because of it.”Sharon nodded when she heard that. ‘So that’s why…’ She recalled how Sebastian was teased by his friends when he was younger as well because he did not have a father.What was worse was that her son was called a b*stard child without a father!Now that he finally had a father, it was his mother who left him.When she thought about this, she felt that she had wronged her son.Her gaze on Rue became filled with pain.“The commercial has been released. You must’ve seen it, right?” Sharon changed the topic.Fern nodded lightly. “I hope I didn’t disappoint you with my performance.”“It’s a success, and the sales of the perfume are slowly going up. It’s proof that you’ve done a
One month later.The reconstruction of Sharon’s laboratory after getting razed by the fire was coming to an end, and it would be ready in a few days.She could only stay in the Newton household for the time being. It seemed like she was busy handling plenty of things every day, but truthfully, it was merely to fill her time.Her heart would constantly be drifting somewhere else.She was well aware of the person occupying her thoughts and she almost could not help but visit the hospital several times to see how he was doing.However, the thought of him refusing to see her and even notifying the bodyguards to tell her to stop bugging him made her initial thoughts of seeing him vanish into thin air.Perhaps their relationship was genuinely over this time around.On this day, Sharon returned to the Newton household absent-mindedly as usual.When she passed by the living room, she could hear a familiar voice coming from inside. Her pace immediately slowed down unconsciously.Was th
She had no idea what Simon was doing. Why did he suddenly come over to ask for her hand in marriage, even giving the old man such a huge benefit for it?It was impossible for her to agree to this marriage. No one and not even Quinn could force her into it!Sharon snorted and said, “Since you’ve agreed to it, then you go ahead and marry into the Zachary family instead. I’ll never agree to this!”Quinn’s old face was extremely distorted, and he was almost panting from anger. She had never stopped enraging him since the moment she stepped foot into this house!He was dying to quickly marry her off. Otherwise, she might actually piss him off to death someday!Seeing that they were both obstinate in their decisions, Simon stood up and said to Quinn, “Let me talk to her.”As soon as he said this, he took the initiative to grab Sharon’s wrist and dragged her out.When the man’s big hand held hers, there seemed to be an electric current flowing from her wrist to her entire body. She w
Sharon slightly parted her rosy lips that the man had just kissed a moment ago. She was anxiously trying to deny it, but it was as if her words were stuck in her throat.Her cheeks grew hotter by the second from being stared at by his teasing gaze!She abruptly pushed him away almost instinctively and rubbed her lips with the back of her hand. It was as if she wanted to erase all of the marks he had left on her. Then, she furiously scoffed at him as she blushed. “You *sshole!”As soon as she said this, she felt a throbbing pain on her chin when the man clasped onto it with his hand. His handsome and indifferent face closed in on her. He said with a playful yet low and magnetic masculine voice, “I’m your fiancé now, not an *sshole.”Did he say fiancé? Since when?She had not agreed to it!She looked into his eyes and examined him in scrutiny, wanting to read his true thoughts. However, when she saw the man’s unfathomable pupils, it seemed like she would not be able to get a glimps
“How could you possibly know if you’ve never even tried?”“I said no! Enough is enough! You don’t have to persuade me anymore, just leave… Please go. I’ll never agree to this marriage!”He grabbed onto the hands that were pushing his chest, and his handsome face was filled with a sense of coldness once more. “I’m disallowing you from saying no! I want you to remarry me, and you’ll have no other choice but to accept this arrangement!”He hugged her tightly while uttering these words, not allowing her to escape again!This man was genuinely stubborn and childish!As the two were entangled in the garden, they did not notice a pair of cold eyes hidden between the trees and bushes that was staring at them.Seeing Sharon being held so tightly in Simon’s arms, Germaine’s gaze turned frosty.She had even heard about Simon offering his company’s shares as dowry to marry Sharon.Would Eugene not benefit greatly from this marriage if it were to happen?With such a powerful brother-in-law
The man’s intense oppressive aura was enveloping her, and she had nowhere to escape.Then, he abruptly picked her up as if she was as light as a feather.He turned around and carried her over to the beach chair on the side.Sharon took a deep breath, and her little hands were grabbing onto his shoulders. Her cheeks were burning red at the moment. She was clearly getting pulled into the moment by him. Finally, she nervously tried to push him away with her last trace of rationality.“Don’t do this…”Sharon could no longer control her heartbeat as it was beating way too fast.She looked away bashfully and was still pushing his shoulders away. “I don’t want any accidents.”He should understand what she was implying.She had told him clearly that they would not have any more children together when she got back together with him.Simon looked at her with a profound gaze. The next second, he took something out of his trousers pocket.“There’ll be no accidents. I came prepared.”She
Sharon was speechless. There was no need for him to report such trivial matters to her, was there?Before she could digest everything, Simon scooped some ice cream with a small spoon and fed it to her. “Come, replenish some energy.”Obediently, Sharon opened her mouth and ate it. Various dishes were already arranged on the table before their arrival. They were the only people in the restaurant, as he had said.She knew that he had arranged for this.Sharon tasted the other dishes and found that they were all quite delicious.Simon had always known what she liked.While she ate, the man beside her suddenly said, “I’ll have someone announce our marriage to the public tomorrow.”Some food got stuck in Sharon’s throat. Choking on that bite of food, she started coughing violently.Simon reached out and patted her back gently. “Eat slower. No one’s taking your food from you.”After drinking a huge gulp of water, Sharon finally recovered. She stared at Simon immediately. “What did
Simon’s gaze darkened at the sight of her furrowed brows and unwilling expression. “Why? Is it that much of a hardship to be engaged to me?”Forget about being engaged, other women would jump at the chance to be his wife. Sharon, on the other hand, looked dejected hearing the news. Now, he was the one who was desperate to label her as Mrs. Zachary and also the one who feared that she would be lured away by other men.Upon seeing the look of displeasure on his face, Sharon had a sudden urge to laugh.She could not help reaching out to pinch his face. “Why do you look like a resentful lady?”Simon’s gaze darkened. He opened his mouth to bite her finger. Luckily, she was fast enough to retract her hand before he could.“It seems like you’re not a resentful lady but a wolfdog that bites people!”Immediately after she said that, Simon’s strong body suddenly loomed over her. He placed a hand on the table in front of her while another was placed on the back of her chair. Sharon was en
“I’ve completed all of his final requests. That’s it.” Yvonne cast a final glance at Quincy, who was gripped with shock. She then left the room. Quincy did not say anything to make her stay. She kept staring at the box of ashes. She stared at the box of ashes silently for an extremely long period of time. Terry asked her, “Miss, do you believe that these are Dayton Night’s ashes?” She turned around to look at Terry. To be honest, she did not really believe it. “Why don’t you first look at the assets that he transferred to you and see if they’re real?” Terry suggested. “Help me settle this.” She handed the thick pile of documents to him so that he could verify them. “I’ll go now.” Terry left the office at once. Quincy stared at the box of ashes and muttered softly, “Dayton Night, what are you trying to do this time?” She was shocked when Terry told her that Dayton had really transferred all of his assets and finances to her after verifying the documents. “Does
Quincy was still deep in thought when her secretary called her through the internal phone line. Her secretary told her that a woman named Yvonne Leif was here to see her. She frowned. Yvonne Leif? After thinking about it for a while, she finally recalled. Was Yvonne Leif not the woman by Dayton’s side? Why was she looking for her now? If she did not die, then Dayton Night... Quincy’s heart lurched. She asked her secretary to bring her in at once. After a while, her secretary brought Yvonne into the office. From the moment Yvonne appeared in her office, Quincy kept staring at her. She had a shadow. She was not a ghost or a spirit… Yvonne was perfectly fine from head to toe. She did not seem injured at all. Did she manage to avoid the bombing on the island? Yvonne was wearing a pair of sunglasses and holding onto a box. She carried her handbag on her wrist. After a while, she stood opposite Quincy’s office desk.She then took off her sunglasses and met Quincy’
Dayton had a dark expression on his face as he stared at the island with a bleak gaze. He pursed his lips. He had no intention of saying anything.He did not want to leave the island. Yvonne and his men were the ones who forcefully brought him away.“I’d rather stay on the island,” he said after a while.Yvonne looked at him in shock. After a few seconds, she burst out in mocking laughter. “You’d like her to bomb you to death, right? It’d be better than dying after going through all the torment of your illness, right?”After a momentary silence, he said, “I owe it to her.”Anyway, he would not be able to live for long. He should just fulfill Quincy’s wishes and let her end his life personally.He would not have any regrets if he died by her hand.Yvonne could not help but slap herself across the face. She then scolded herself out loud, “Why am I being such a busybody?! Why do I insist on saving you when you want to die so badly?! I’m such a fool!”She really regretted her decis
Quincy cast her cold gaze in that direction. After a while, she said, “Let’s go.” Terry did not know what she was looking at just now. He only noticed the unpleasant expression on her face. He followed her and asked, “Miss, where’s that bastard, Dayton Night? Shall I capture him personally?” He did not think that she would let Dayton go. Quincy did not stop walking. “It’s fine. I know how to deal with him.” There was a hint of brutality in her cold voice. Terry was slightly stunned. He seemed to have understood something. He stopped talking to her after that. The helicopter was waiting for them outside. Quincy and Terry got into the helicopter.Below them, the island was in a huge mess. Nobody could stop her from leaving now.“Miss, shall we go back now?” Terry asked.Quincy glanced at the situation below and looked at him. There was an exceptionally calm expression on her face. “You brought plenty of explosives over, right?”Terry nodded and said, “I brought some along
“Doctor Leif, come over and take a look at Young Master. He vomited blood again,” one of Dayton’s men told her as soon as they saw her. Yvonne walked in front of Dayton. She saw the blood that he had spat out on the floor. She was no longer fazed. “You guys should learn to get used to something like this. After all, it’ll happen frequently in the future.” Dayton’s men were stunned. What did that mean? Young Master would frequently vomit blood in the future? Dayton leaned against the sofa behind him and closed his eyes. He did not have the energy to speak anymore. Yvonne did not want to chastise him after seeing his current condition. She clearly knew that he had given up on himself a long time ago. He was simply waiting for his own death. Therefore, she was not in a hurry to carry out acupuncture treatment on him. Rumble, rumble, rumble... A loud sound rang out from outside. Dayton opened his eyes immediately. It sounded like an airplane had flown over? He immedia
Quincy was so angry that her face flushed red. If she was not being held down by his bodyguards, she would definitely strangle him to death right now!Yvonne, who was watching them by the side, could not bring herself to continue watching them anymore. She felt extremely awkward as an outsider. Therefore, she got up and said, “You guys should eat slowly.” She left the room after speaking.She truly could not comprehend someone like Dayton Night. Why was he being so persistent with Quincy Lane? To make it sound better, he was a persistent man. However, he must be a nightmare to Quincy. She could tell how much Quincy hated him. Otherwise, she would not have taken Lennon hostage. She wanted to leave this island. Perhaps love was not only about giving. Some types of love were defined by shackles and imprisonment as well. Not only was Dayton trapping Quincy, but he was also doing so to himself. However, perhaps this was his final wish in life. That was the reason why he was
Yvonne stared at him. She was suddenly at a loss for words. Quincy was pushed back into her room. The door of her room was then shut tight. She heard the sound of a lock clicking into place outside. Damn it, Dayton Night. He got his men to lock her up. She had completely lost her freedom. Quincy had no more ideas. She could only fast. She would rather die than be imprisoned by him. She started fasting. Dayton’s men reported this situation to him immediately. He wanted to head over to take a look at her, but he really did not have any energy right now. “Bring her over.” He had no choice but to ask them to bring Quincy to his room. Before Quincy arrived, he asked Yvonne to help him to the sofa so that he could sit down. He could not let Quincy see him lying on the bed so sickly. Yvonne could not help but ask, “Why do you have to do this? You’re trying so hard to put up a facade in front of her. Can’t you just tell her about your illness right away?” “I don’t need
Quincy could not help but feel shocked after seeing Dayton’s appearance. He looked at her with a gaze that made it seem like he was about to eat her alive! “You’re on the island?” she asked him. Why did his men trick her? “Are you trying to take my men hostage to escape since you thought that I wasn’t here?” Dayton was filled with rage. “Dayton Night, what gives you the right to trap me here?” She should be the one angry at him instead. Just then, Yvonne chased after him. “You should go back.” She reminded Dayton after walking to his side. However, Dayton’s mind was only filled with thoughts about Quincy. It was as if he had not heard what Yvonne said. A mocking glint rose in Quincy’s gaze when she saw that Yvonne was on the island as well. It was no wonder his men were unwilling to tell her that he was already on the island. He had brought another woman over. It was impossible for her not to recognize this woman. She was the woman he had fooled around with at hi
Just then, Lennon detected the mocking tone in her voice. She was not at all concerned about whether they were tired or not.He lowered his head and peeled the apple intently. He did not intend to continue speaking to her anymore. “Let me peel it on my own. Your hands aren’t clean.” Quincy naturally reached out for the knife. Lennon did not think much about it. He just felt slightly terrified. He handed her the knife and apple at once. Nevertheless, Quincy simply took the fruit knife away. She did not take the apple from him. While he was wondering if she thought his hands were dirty, she took hold of the fruit knife and approached him. She immediately placed the knife against his neck. “Young Madam, you…” Lennon finally realized what was going on. This was her true purpose. Quincy stared at him coldly and shouted coldly, “Walk!” Lennon had no choice but to comply with her and walk outside. The men standing by the door were shocked when they saw her holding a kni
