”Not good.” Simon immediately denied his son’s idea.“Why not? You can live here and stay with Mommy so why can’t I transfer schools?” Sebastian glared at his father and said, exasperated.“It’s only logical for me to stay with my wife. In the future, you can also stay with your wife,” said Simon matter-of-factly.“But, she’s my mommy!”“You’re already seven years old, so you should be learning to be independent. You can’t always rely on your mother.” Simon had repeated that statement many times, yet the little kid still wanted to be with his woman.Sebastian let go of his hand, lifted his head, and looked at his mother. “You won’t allow me to transfer schools as well?”Sharon thought about it and said, “It’s not that I won’t allow it but I think your school right now is quite good…”“Hmph, I knew it! You guys just think of me as a burden. You guys just want to live in your own world!” Sebastian interrupted Sharon angrily before she could even speak.“I've been independent sinc
That day, Sharon invited Fern to meet up with her at a coffee shop.She was the first to arrive at the agreed destination. She ordered a cup of coffee and waited for Fern.“I’m sorry, there was some traffic on the road so I’m a little late.” After ten minutes, Fern rushed into the shop.“No worries. What would you like to drink?” Sharon was not in a hurry as she had nothing to do today.“Just a cup of latte will do, thanks,” Fern said to the waiter.After the waiter left, Sharon got straight to the point. “I invited you out today because I want to ask you about the incident with Director Zimmermann.”“That time… It was my mistake. I entered the wrong room.” The main thing was that she got the room number wrong. She got confused between rooms 306 and 309.“I’m really sorry. It wasn’t my intention to not show up after promising to meet him. He’s not angry right?” Fern was blaming herself.Sharon sighed. “Of course, he’s angry. I could only apologize to him. Thank God he’s quite a
Sharon had tried lots of formulations but was still unable to crack her adopted father’s formula for Appreshar.She had been depressed about it for the past few days. ‘What ingredients did my adopted father use? Why is the fragrance so special? Besides, the fragrance remains for such a long time.’She wanted to head back to the Newton household to have a look there. Perhaps she could find some hints in her mother’s bedroom. After all, she managed to find Appreshar in her mother’s room.It was coincidentally noon when she returned to the Newton household. Old Master Newton was taking his rest, so she did not disturb him.In fact, she was not so keen to meet with the old man anyway.As she was the young lady of the Newton family, she was free to enter and leave the house. No one would stop her.She walked straight into the courtyard and headed to Malvales Garden where her parents used to live.On the little cobblestone path, there was suddenly something white next to the flowers o
It was broad daylight, yet Sharon still felt spooked out while feeling chills crawling down her spine.Perhaps this was a bungalow that was abandoned by the Newton family a long time ago. ‘There’s nothing to be afraid of. I should hurry and look for that stupid dog. Getting back my documents is of top priority.’“Stupid dog, come out this instant!” she shouted as she walked further down the road.Suddenly a white shadow passed by and the Pomeranian appeared in front of her. The folder her documents were in was inside the dog’s mouth.“So you’re here. Be a good dog and give me back my folder. Later, I’ll give you some meat to munch on.” She slowly approached the dog.She got closer and closer, and suddenly, she pounced over to catch the dog!The dog was very alert, and in the blink of an eye, it escaped in front of her and made its way to another side.In just a brief moment, the Pomeranian immediately ran into the little bungalow. Subconsciously, she went along and followed the
’What did she mean by her Sienna?’“Sienna, you’re my precious daughter. Sienna… Mommy missed you. You’ve already grown up…” said the woman while choking. Tears were seen flowing down her cheeks and her hands were still touching Sharon’s face. She was evidently heartbroken.Sharon felt her heart thumping hard. ‘This woman... What is she talking about?’She stared at the woman, and after a brief moment, she suddenly snapped out of it. Her vision was a little blurry and she nearly could not make out the woman’s appearance.She held her breath and fixed her eyes on the pale and scrawny face in front of her. ‘This woman... is my biological mother?’In her mind, she was comparing this face to the face in her parents’ wedding photo. The face in front of her was naturally unable to be an exact match to the face in the wedding photo, but there were still some undeniable similarities on this woman’s face.She pushed the woman away instinctively. She could not believe it. She stared at the
”Sienna!” Eugene saw that Sharon was about to pass out and quickly supported her.“Sienna, What’s… What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?” Autumn was very anxious and came over to look at her daughter, heartbroken.Sharon nearly fainted and her consciousness was slightly hazy, but when she saw her brother’s and mother’s faces appearing before her, she immediately snapped out of it and became alert.“Are… Are you my mother?” She still could not believe that her biological mother would appear in front of her.“My dear daughter, can you finally forgive me? Are you willing to acknowledge me?” At that moment, Autumn’s eyes looked vibrant as she gazed at Sharon with anticipation.Mixed emotions were dwelling in Sharon’s chest. It seemed like she was muttering to herself, “Are you really my mother… but they said you went crazy…”Perhaps it was her comment that agitated Autumn. The woman who had appeared normal suddenly tensed her facial features, yelling, “Who said that I’m craz
She picked up the test tube and took a whiff of the liquid inside. This thing... It could not be regarded as perfume, but it was a specific step one would reach while making perfume.How could her mother even make this if she was crazy? If she could reach this step, it showed that she still had moments with a clear frame of mind.“Sienna…” Eugene chased after her.Autumn began to freak out once more after finally calming down. She anxiously stood in front of her daughter to protect her, treating her son as an enemy instead.“Get out! Don’t get any closer to my daughter!”Eugene knew very well what his mother would be like when her sickness overtook her. He would not be able to communicate with her at the moment. Hence, he merely ignored her and looked at Sharon instead while saying, “Get over here. We have to leave this place.”Sharon’s eyes met Eugene, and it seemed like she had made a decision earlier on. She said, “I want to bring Mom out of here, Brother.”Eugene’s pupils im
Inside the Newton household’s living room, the atmosphere was dim and everyone sat down without saying a word.After quite some time, Quinn was the first to speak. His murky eyes stared at Sharon coldly as he asked, “How did you break into Bamboo Garden?”The Bamboo Garden he spoke of was the place Sharon and Eugene’s mother was locked up. She heard that the area used to be a bamboo forest. Later, they got rid of most of the trees after she moved in.Sharon had not fully recovered her senses just yet. She never expected to meet her mother in this manner.“It was the Pomeranian who brought me in there,” she said in a low voice.The Pomeranian was their mother’s only companion, and it would occasionally run out to look for food.Many people from the Newton household had seen that dog before. They had all received orders from Kelly to give the dog some food if they saw it, but no one was allowed to harm it.Everyone thought that the dog came in from the outside and never pondered t
