It was dinner time, so the pizzeria was almost filled to the brim with customers.Eugene came in with Rue in his arms, and the two of them attracted quite a lot of attention for a long while.The man was nearly 1.9 meters tall and had an exquisite face. His branded trousers that were of excellent quality were wrapped around his long legs, and he had the figure of a male model. However, his noble-like air was by no means comparable to any other ordinary male models. The most dreadfully charming part of him was the way he held the doll-like little girl in his arms. The entire scene was too enchanting to the eyes.Many of the ladies present were admiring the view, nearly shrieking out loud.“Woah! Look at the man carrying that little girl! Isn’t he too drop-dead gorgeous? What a lucky doll to have such a handsome father!” The young woman next to him could not help but gasp in admiration. She merely wished that she was his daughter too.“I’m guessing that he must be a slave to his d
Eugene breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the child was just too agitated, not terrified. Plus, it seemed like she was not planning on rejecting him.He nodded and said, “Yes.”“Then… can I call you ‘Dad’ now?” She had always wanted a dad.Dad? Well, it sounded much better than ‘Godfather’ anyway, so he immediately agreed. “Sure. Then you can call me ‘Dad’ from now on.”Rue was delighted that she immediately called out to him. “Dad!”When Eugene heard the little doll-like girl calling him ‘Dad’, his heart melted into a pool of confused emotions. It turned out having a daughter was such a peculiar and wonderful feeling.When Fern found them, she happened to hear her daughter calling Eugene her dad. There was trepidation in her heart, and she was petrified.“Rue? Wha-What did you just call him?” She could not hide the panic and shock in her eyes. She was pointing at Eugene, but her eyes were fixed on her daughter.She felt her limbs going cold, as though the blood in
Eugene’s voice was not considered loud by any means, but Fern was still choked up by his cold tone.She glared at him without making a sound, but her anger was suppressed in her chest.Rue did not understand why they had suddenly started quarreling, so she cautiously tugged on her mother’s sleeve and said softly, “Don’t be angry, Mom. It was my fault. I pestered Uncle into inviting me out for a meal. Don’t blame him for it.”Eugene looked at the little girl. Even at this point, she was still putting in good words for him and pinning all of the blame on herself. She was so considerate, so how could anyone not be fond of this little girl?Fern was well aware of her daughter’s personality. However, Eugene had only invited her to a meal twice yet she was already speaking up for him?She did not want to be in an argument with Eugene in front of her daughter, so she merely turned and left with her. She did not pay him any more attention.The man was simply unfathomable!However, as so
“I’ve asked you before, what would you do if I became pregnant with your child? And you told me that you’d have me go for an abortion. Since you hate children so much, why are you pretending to be kind to my daughter right now?“Plus, since you’ve opted to stay out of my life, why have you not disappeared completely? Why did you reappear to criticize my parenting so willy-nilly? This kind of behavior from you is really disgusting!”Eugene could feel his body becoming tense. The moment she called him disgusting, he could genuinely see the hatred and disgust in her eyes. He knew she wished that he would disappear immediately.Perhaps she recalled the bitterness and past resentments, so her eyes abruptly turned red. She finally found something that she loved doing, but he just had to jump out and ruin it for her!How did she come to meet such a heartless man?When Eugene saw her reddened eyes and even the tears that were flickering inside them, he felt a violent twist in his heart!
Sharon had not visited her mother for several days now. However, she had some free time today, so she brought some fresh flowers and delicious treats to see her.“Come here, stupid little dog. I’ve brought some treats for you.” Sharon shared some of the snacks she had brought with the little dog.The little dog had started to recognize her and wagged its tail as soon as she arrived. Now that she was giving it food, the dog was even happier and stuck its tongue out to lick her hands.Sharon could not stand the dog being all lovey-dovey and rubbed its head, saying, “Stay here and eat your share.”After feeding the dog, she went into the house holding the flowers and saw her mother busying herself with making perfume.“I’ve come to visit you, Mom,” said Sharon as she walked over to her.“Don’t come over, and don’t disturb me.” However, Autumn was focused on her work.Sharon had no other option but to stand in place and watch Autumn as she made her perfume. Just then, her mother too
Sharon’s thoughts were in shambles. Who was her real birth father?When the Newton household did a paternity test on her, the result showed that she was indeed related to the Newtons. However, she had no idea who that Old Man Newton had used to compare her DNA with.If he had compared her DNA with her mother’s DNA, there was no doubt that she was her daughter. Plus, she was undoubtedly Eugene’s sibling as well…Only by doing the test with Caleb would she truly know if they were father and daughter. However, he had passed long ago, so doing the test with him was not possible.Hence, she concluded that Old Man Newton must have tested her with Autumn’s DNA.Sharon was in a trance when she left Bamboo Garden. She went back to the apartment’s laboratory. When she left the place, she had told her mother to stop saying these matters aloud and wondered if her mother would remember her reminder.She was suddenly worried and anxious. If her father was indeed not Caleb and if Old Man Newton
After receiving news from Gladys on the phone, Simon immediately drove Sharon to the laboratory.“Take a look, Sienna.” Gladys handed her the phone.Once Sharon took the phone, she could see a perfume advertisement playing on the screen.“What… What’s going on here?” The perfume being advertised was her perfume, Appreshar. The very one that she was about to launch into the market!Moreover, this perfume was also named Appreshar, and even the packaging design was exactly the same.The perfume’s main formula was shown in the advertisement as well, and it was Appreshar’s formula that she had painstakingly tried to crack!“Sienna, our perfume’s formula has been leaked, and the other party has completely copied our packaging design. They’re one step ahead of us and have launched their product into the market. If… we continue with our plans to release our perfume, I’m afraid we’ll be accused of plagiarism,” said Gladys with a worried look on her face. “Damn it! How did my formula get
Sharon’s expression was becoming distorted. “Since they plagiarized my formula, the smell is naturally the same as well.”“Who on earth is this despicable?! Who’d copy someone else’s product to such an extent?!” Gladys could not help but curse aloud as well.“I’d like to find out who it is too.” Sharon stared at the bottle of perfume in her hand, seemingly filled with thoughts.“Why don’t we call the police, Sienna?” Gladys scoffed angrily.Sharon narrowed her eyes, saying, “We do have to file a police report, but not now. We’ll wait until I find out who the mole is beforehand.”Upon hearing this, something flashed across Gladys’ eyes and she hesitated for a moment before asking, “Sienna, how… do you plan on catching this mole?”Sharon turned her eyes to look at her. Gladys could feel her heartstrings tightening up, but there were zero changes in her expression.“I can’t think of a good way for the time being,” said Sharon indifferently.Gladys secretly breathed a sigh of relie
