“Why did you buy another house again?” She did not answer his question but instead asked another. Meanwhile, her gaze roamed around the interior of the unit.“I bought it for us, of course. This is our new home.”Sharon turned to look at him, confused. “Our new home?”Simon reached out and pulled her into his embrace. “We’ve gotten back together. Shouldn’t we live together too? I agreed to not marry you first, but I think we should live together like we’re husband and wife.”He was not wrong…“If we’re husband and wife, shouldn’t we live together? Or do you not want to live with me?”“I don’t mean that, but—”Before she was done talking, he interrupted, “Shar, I don’t want to be separated from you again. I can’t sleep at night without you.”Uh, it was not that serious, was it? Did he not manage to live by himself just fine the past two years?Had he suffered from insomnia during that time? She remembered hearing their son bring that up.“Follow me.”Before she could speak, h
”Eugene, what happened? I didn’t piss you off, did I?” Sharon looked at Eugene strangely.“Were you the one who had Fern go look for that b*stard Director Zimmermann?” Eugene asked, pushing his anger down.Sharon thought for a while and said, “Yes. What about it?”“You’re asking me that? Take a look at these yourself! What entertainment industry are you introducing her to? You’re pushing her into a fire pit!” Eugene tossed some photos at her.Sharon picked them up and looked at them, her expression immediately changing. “What… What’s this?”“Ask yourself! After you introduced her to Director Zimmermann, she was almost tricked into sleeping with someone!”When Fern went to meet Director Zimmermann, she got tricked and drunk a glass of wine that had been drugged. She was nearly raped. If not for Eugene, who had come across her coincidentally, the stupid woman would have been harmed. Sharon looked at the photos in her hand. They were of Fern who was drinking in a room in a nightcl
“Then, I’ll thank you in advance.”Sharon had also previously hoped that Fern could find an agency that was willing to take her in as it would make things significantly easier. “I don’t want a verbal expression of your gratitude.” Simon’s eyes were now half-closed.Sharon curled her lips, asking, “What do you want, then?”Simon’s gaze darkened, and it was as if his obsidian pupils had the magical ability to suck her soul in…Deliberately lowering his head to the side of her ear, he said with a voice low enough that only the two of them could hear, “I want you…”Sharon paused for one second before she realized what he had said. Heat spread instantly from her ears to all over her face!“You…” She pushed him away, feeling shy and embarrassed.Eugene was already in a bad mood even before the two of them started flirting in front of him while ignoring him completely.The anger festering in his chest was even more prominent now!“No, thanks! I won’t let her enter the entertainment
As he stood outside the door, Eugene was stunned for a few seconds before snapping out of it."Nice to meet you, little kid. I'm your mom's friend," he said to the little girl inside the house.Rue thought for a moment. Apart from Sharon who once came looking for her mother, no one else had come to their doorstep before. 'Why is there an uncle at our doorstep looking for Mom?'Could he be pursuing Mom?'Even though she was very young, her mother had taught her not to simply open the door and invite any strangers in. Hence, she was still putting up her guard.She did not open the door immediately and asked, "You're Mom's friend? Then you should know what my mom's name is?"Eugene heard the little girl's childish tone from inside the apartment unit and felt his heart melting despite being unable to have a glimpse of her face."Your mom's name is Fern Thompson." He knew that the little girl was testing him out.Rue was also curious about the appearance of the uncle who had come
She touched her daughter's head, saying, "Go ahead if you want to eat the fruits. Remember to say thank you to uncle.""Alright. Thanks, Mommy."Usually, there were not any snacks or treats in the house for Rue to eat, let alone fruits. At times, she would also want to munch on something.She chose a big red apple from the fruit basket and said to Eugene politely, "Thank you, Uncle."Everyone would naturally like a polite kid. For some inexplicable reason, Eugene felt heartbroken.'It’s just eating an apple, yet she’s being so cautious.'"No worries. It's all for you," he said softly.On an ordinary day, Fern would only cook a meat and vegetable dish for their meals. On this day, they did not cook up another dish just because Eugene had shown up.Eugene looked at the two dishes presented before him. The food smelled nice, but the flame of rage was dwelling within his chest.He wanted to smash up all the dishes. 'What kind of life is she leading?!'However, he saw the little k
Fern knew that Eugene must have something he wanted to say to her seeing as he had deliberately made the trip to her house. However, it was inconvenient for him to talk to her about it in front of the child, so he ended up delaying it till now.She straightened her body, lifted her head, and looked straight at him. She said with a calm tone, "Spit it out."Eugene got even angrier when he saw her being so calm. He took out a cigarette and lit it to prevent himself from losing control again.His towering body leaned on the car. He took a long drag on the cigarette and after letting out the smoke, his sharp almond eyes stared at Fern as he said, "Why are you living in such a terrible place with the child? Are you lacking money?"Fern looked into his eyes for a few seconds before smiling. "It’s not the first time you’re learning of my poor financial state.”'How can she still smile?!'Eugene frowned and was still staring at her."What about your salary for being an ambassador? Didn'
His fierce aura made her hold her breath. His comment had made her blush, but her anger made her subconsciously lift her hand to slap him."Shut your mouth!" 'If I wanted to climb my way up through sleeping around, I would have long ago been a celebrity by now.'There was a red slap mark on Eugene's fair and handsome face. His deep almond eyes glinted coldly. Eugene, who always seemed very elegant and gentle, was currently giving off a scary vibe."I forbid you from acting, you hear me?!" He could not suppress his temper when he faced Fern and immediately gave his order.Fern's body trembled as he looked a little scary now. It was just that it would be impossible for her not to be angry with him when he stated such an overbearing request.She shoved his hand away with force and tried her best to remain calm, saying, "You can't control me!""I dare you to disobey me." The man's eyes glinted with a fit of cool anger.Fern felt her breath becoming uneven as she forced herself to lo
She lifted her head and saw Simon's vague smile. He was intentionally flirting with her in public!It attracted the attention of a few aunties around them. They must be finding the intimate scene an eyesore.Sharon quickly pulled Simon and walked to the side."Please just quietly follow behind me and don't try flirting with me again. Do you hear me?" Sharon said to Simon with a serious face."I just miss my woman, what's wrong with that?" Simon frowned. 'Who dares to control me to such an extent?'"No! This public display of affection will only incite the public’s hatred for us, don’t you know that?!”Seeing that she was like a cat who was about to go wild, he could only give in. "Whatever you say then."Sharon let out a breath. Fortunately, Simon was not being difficult now and she could still talk some sense into him.She then paid attention to choosing all her ingredients. Later, both of them went to queue up to pay the bill. As it was a weekend, there were lots of people an
