On the soft, huge bed, the two were just done with their activity.Sharon lay still on the bed, her dark hair spread over the pillow. The blanket was covered up to her waist at the moment, exposing her fair back.Simon supported his head with one hand, lying on his side as he looked at her. He raised his eyebrows and curled his lips slightly as he asked, “Would you like to get up?”The woman languidly lay on her stomach, replying, “I don’t wanna move. I’m so tired…”Seeing her bright appearance, the man narrowed his eyes as he gently held her hand. Then, he gently kissed the back of her hand, asking, “Is your mood all better now?”“No…”He leaned in front of her and raised her chin again. “You’re not allowed to think about those things ever again. I’ll allow you to use me to ease yourself, but you cannot say that you’re breaking up with me. Do you understand?”She raised her eyes to look at him, and a trace of astonishment flashed across her heart. It turned out he knew about ev
Was that not Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem on everything in life being fleeting and short-lived? Moreover, judging from how her mother was digging through the dirt, why did it look like she was burying the short-lived flowers?As soon as she tried to approach her mother, the Pomeranian dashed toward her and started barking. It seemed that the dog had recognized her and was wagging its tail at her.The dog’s barking caught Autumn’s attention. She turned and saw Sharon’s appearance. A smile appeared across her face. Then, she stood up to greet her, saying, “You came to visit Mom, Sienna?”She wanted to hold her daughter’s hand but found that her hands were currently dirty from the dirt, so quickly retracted them. She was afraid of dirtying Sharon.Sharon stared at her mother for a while and thought that her mother could indeed recognize her own daughter.“What are you doing, Mom?” she asked cautiously.“Oh… You see, the fallen flowers are so pitiful, so I’m trying to give them a bu
“Did you say that it’s called Nostalgia, Mom?” Sharon could make out all the floral scents in the perfume, but she was still not entirely sure.She now understood why the perfumes made by her adoptive father were so popular. It was not only because the fragrance was long-lasting but also because of their unique scent. Even she was not able to make such an excellent perfume.“Yes… Your father said that only this scent is worthy of me.” Whenever Autumn mentioned her adoptive father, there was always a sense of admiration on her face.“Give it back to me! This is my baby!” She hurriedly snatched the perfume back the very next second.“Okay, okay. Yes, this is yours. No one will try to take it away from you. You’ll have to keep it safe.” Sharon noticed a change in her mother’s mood and quickly tried to appease her.Appreshar’s formula had not been cracked just yet, and now she found out there was another perfume called Nostalgia. If both of these perfumes’ formulas were successfully
Sharon stayed in the laboratory the whole day, doing formulations. The very next day, she had finally figured out Appreshar’s formula!It had been silk-cotton all along. Her adoptive father had blended the scent of silk-cotton flowers into the perfume. It was light but not exemptable.She also discovered that the silk-cotton tree signified appreciation and cherishing. How dim-witted was she not to have figured it out sooner?“Sienna, you haven’t slept all night. Are you going to continue experimenting? Shouldn’t you take a break?” Her assistant, Gladys, came over and asked in concern.“I’ve found it, Gladys! I’ve cracked Appreshar’s formula!” Sharon could not wait to share her joy with her. She barely felt sleepy or tired at all.“Really?! Congratulations, Sienna!” Gladys hurriedly congratulated her and lowered her head to look at the formula sheet on the table. “Is this the formula?”“Yes! Now that the main formula is done, there are still a couple of minor issues that I’ll have
“You’re the lazy pig. Didn’t I tell you that I was working on the perfume the whole night? I came back to catch some sleep around noon.” Sharon yawned and looked out the window. It was already dark outside. Had she slept through the entire afternoon?“Then how did your work go?” Simon pressed half his long body onto hers, raising his hand to help her smooth out the messy bangs on her forehead.Seeing that her eyes were still a little red, it was evident that she had not gotten enough sleep.Sharon’s eyes immediately lit up when he mentioned her work. She showed a bright smile while saying, “Of course, it was a success! I’ve cracked my adoptive father’s perfume formula!”“Is that so? I always knew that the woman I’m attracted to isn’t stupid.”Sharon wrinkled her nose. Was this supposed to be a compliment from him?“Didn’t you say that you’ll make me a fragrance for my insomnia? Have you started on that?”“As for that one… Not yet.” Sharon let out a chuckle. She placed her arms a
“Head on in,” said Simon as he wrapped his arms around the woman’s waist, lowering his head to look at her.Sharon looked at the door and took a deep breath, saying, “Okay.” There were some things she needed to face head-on, after all.Franky opened the door for them and closed it again once they had entered. He stood guard by the door.At this moment, Xena was hiding behind a corner at the wall, spying on them. Seeing Franky standing right by the door, she knew that it would be impossible for her to eavesdrop.She knew about Simon taking Sharon to the doctor today, so she had waited outside the apartment quite early in the morning. Then, she trailed Simon’s car and came to this place.It seemed like he had really looked for a psychiatrist for Sharon, but Xena still had zero clues as to what kind of illness Sharon had.Unfortunately for her, Franky was right by the door. Otherwise, it would have been easy for her to find out the truth!Hence, Xena had no other option but to wait
Sharon was still thinking about what Dr. Edward had said to her after returning to her laboratory. Although she knew before going in that her illness did not have a cure, she was still somewhat disappointed by the visit.The phone she had placed on the table suddenly vibrated, and the screen showed Fern’s caller ID.Why was she suddenly calling? Perhaps she had introduced the wrong agent to her again?She swiped the answer button and said, “Hello? What’s the matter, Fern?”“I’ve signed the contract, Sienna. Kiara’s my new agent now.” She was calling to report some good news!Sharon was naturally happy for her when she heard this and said, “That’s great! Congratulations!”“Why are you congratulating me? This is all thanks to you. If you hadn’t helped me out, I would’ve never gotten the opportunity to contact Kiara in the first place.”“You’re so talented in acting, and I merely don’t want all of your talents to go to waste. Good luck to you, Fern. I hope you get famous real soon,
Before she could respond, he continued, “Well, it’s not your fault. We haven’t seen each other for two years now, so I suppose you can’t recognize me anymore. Truthfully, I almost couldn’t recognize you myself.” He glanced at her from head to toe and added with a half-smile, “After all, you’re no longer just the simple ol’ Sharon Jeans. You’ve become the young miss of the Newton household.”Howard looked more mature than before with that smile on his face. He was dressed in a suit with leather shoes and even had documents in his hand, looking like an elite white-collar worker.His gaze was currently fixed on her as he examined her with scrutiny. There was a flash of astonishment across his eyes. He never expected that she would still look the same as before after getting into that car accident two years ago.Wait, no. She was much more charismatic now. He had even heard that she was now a famous perfumer.Sharon, on the other hand, had not expected to run into him when she came her
“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
