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
”You… I…” She stuttered for some time, but no words came out of her.‘I must be out of my mind to be discussing this issue with him at the side of the road!’“Forget it, let’s go back home and cook the dishes. Or else, Sebastian won’t have anything to eat when he arrives.” She spun around and entered the car.Simon smirked and entered the car from the other side.…Sharon was done cooking the dishes, and at the same time, her son arrived.She immediately rushed to open the door for her son when she heard the doorbell without even taking off her apron first. She was delighted!“Sebastian!”“Mommy!”Both of them hugged each other as they really missed each other.“Sharon.”As Sharon was delighted to have reunited with her son, she did not realize that Xena had tagged along with Sebastian as well.She lifted her head and looked at Xena when she heard the woman greeting her. She was dumbfounded.At the same time, Simon also came over. Xena smiled and greeted him, “Simon, Aunt
Sharon stared at the bottle of essential oil in Xena’s hand that helped one fall asleep. ‘It looks like Simon really didn’t lie to me. He really is suffering from insomnia.’As for Xena, after she was done talking, she then looked at Sharon. Seeing Sharon absent-minded and the awful expression on her face made Xena’s eyes glint with a cold smile.She had said so much just so she could tell Sharon that she was the one who had been taking good care of Simon for the past two years.She also wanted to tell her that Simon could not afford to lose her as his personal assistant.“You’re right. I no longer need all these. Please take them away later,” Simon frowned and said to Xena with a cold expression.Xena’s gaze shifted back to Simon, and subconsciously, she grasped the bottle of essential oil in her hand tightly. ‘He’s no longer suffering from insomnia because of Sharon’s return?’Soon after, she suppressed the unpleasant feeling within her and said with a smile, “Alright. You may
”Hurry up and leave. You have no right to tell me what to do.” Simon frowned unhappily.Xena was still smiling. “I’ll go now.”Upon leaving the house, the smile on her face immediately vanished. She spun around and glared at the door coldly.‘You may be chasing me out now, but one day, you’ll never be able to leave my side!’“Let’s tuck in.” Simon went over and held Sharon’s waist. His expression was totally different from earlier, and his eyes were gently glimmering.Sharon folded her arms and glanced at him with a vague smile. She raised her brows, saying in an unpleasant tone, “Why didn’t you ask your assistant to stay back for a meal? She’s so concerned about you.”His eyes became darker as he glanced at Sharon, and he corrected her seriously, “She’s just a small fry assistant who my sister got to help me handle trivial issues. She’s not a personal assistant of mine.”Sharon smiled when she heard it. “Trivial issues? If she hears this, she’ll be very sad.”“I’m just stating
