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
