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
“Aunt,” Howard called out. The two women paused their conversation when they noticed him.Penelope patted Xena’s shoulder and said softly, “You can leave first.”Xena nodded and left.Howard walked to stand in front of Penelope and handed the documents he was holding to her. “Aunt, you need to sign these documents.”Penelope nodded lightly. She took the documents and signed them with the pen Howard handed to her.“Simon won’t be here for some time. You have to monitor everything that’s going on in the business closely. If you have any questions, you can ask me,” Penelope said as she signed the documents. “I know, Aunt.”Penelope signed the documents and returned them to him.At the sight of her nephew who had become steadier and more capable with time, Penelope felt somewhat gratified. Two years before, Howard had said out of his own volition that he wanted to work in the company and did not want any compensation.Simon had completely devoted himself to searching for Shar
