When Sharon was done taking a shower, Simon was still working in his study. Sharon felt guilty at the thought of Simon having to manage Newton Corporation with her. He was already exhausted from working his own job, and now, he had to help her with her job too. He would basically be managing two massive corporations on his own. Sharon only hoped that Eugene would return soon. Even if she could deal with the old stubborn men in the family, her fiancé would overwork himself to death if Eugene did not return soon.Sharon changed into her sleepwear and took a bottle of sleep-inducing essential oils she had just finished blending the past day out of her bag. She walked to the study and knocked on the door.After a short while, Simon’s deep and melodious voice rang out. “Come in.”Sharon pushed the door open and walked to the desk with her hands behind her back.Simon was wearing simple loungewear. The cold and sharp aura that was normally around him was gone, but he was also so hand
“I told you that you’re all I need,” he said. His insomnia had gotten better some time ago. He had been in better condition lately. “If you don’t want it, never mind,” she said. She reached out to take it back from him, but he evaded her extended arm. “You can’t take back something you’ve given.” She smirked and said, “I thought you didn’t like it?” “Hmm… Although it’s pretty much useless to me right now, I’ll keep it since you made it for me.” From the tone of his words, it sounded like she was forcing him to keep it. “I’ll have to trouble you during this period of time, Simon. When Eugene returns, I’ll ask him to thank you.” “That’s a must,” he said. Eugene had to thank him and give him a big reward. Sharon sighed and said, “I wonder if he can return within a month’s time.” Nobody knew how he was doing right now. “If he doesn’t return, that’s his own fault. He can only blame himself for being incapable,” Simon said. For him, a month was enough to do many t
It was late at night and Fern had already fallen asleep while Fern was just done showering. She dried her wet hair with a towel and prepared to take a look at her study notes before going to bed. A series of knocks on the door was heard, breaking the peaceful silence of the night. Her heart lurched. It was so late at night now. Who could it be? She cautiously walked over and asked through the closed door, “Who is it?” “Miss Thompson, it’s me, Wyatt Milliot.” Wyatt Milliot? She grew even more worried. Why was he here in the middle of the night?Could there be any news about Eugene? The thought flashed across her mind, and she opened the door at once. “Wyatt… Huh—” She had just opened the door when a tall figure leaned toward her. She helped him up in a hurry so that she would not get crushed under his weight. “You…” She was just about to ask who he was when she raised her eyes and caught sight of the man’s pale face. It was the man she had been pining for all t
She was not a saint. Why did she have to care about whether he lived or not? However… she could not bring herself to kick him out of her house and not care about him at all! Eugene’s consciousness gradually waned. His vision blurred and he could not see the woman standing before him clearly. However, he knew who she was. He extended his arm out to her and attempted to hold her hand. “If you don’t like this arrangement… you can kick… Kick me out,” he said weakly. He did not want to put her in danger. If Wyatt had not decided to come here on his own accord, he would not have come to her house. Somehow, Fern was furious after hearing what he just said. “Kick you out? Sure, do you think that I want to let you stay? Or do you think that it’s my obligation to rescue you due to my conscience? If I kick you out right now and the assassins find out, won’t I be doomed as well?” Eugene stared at her as she threw a tantrum at him. He did not have the strength to say anything any
The morning sunshine filtered in through the windows. Eugene, who had slept on the sofa the entire night, slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he caught sight of the woman sitting beside him. She was dressing his wounds. “You’re awake?” Fern asked, sounding extremely calm. However, before he woke up, she had not been calm at all.Wyatt had told her that he was seriously injured. She could not imagine how serious his wounds were before this, but now that she was dressing his wounds, she finally saw the injuries littering across his body. He had really escaped death! An inexplicable surge of warmth erupted in Eugene’s heart when he saw her after waking up. After their harsh breakup back then, he had never expected something like this to ever happen again. Fern noticed that he kept staring at her without saying anything. Her heart lurched, and she accidentally brushed her hand against his wound during a lapse in her attention. He furrowed his brows and g
“How long will you be here for? We’re just a pair of mother and daughter, so we can’t afford to offend assassins,” she said, purposely giving him a cold look.Eugene’s deep and narrow eyes stared at her expressionless face. Then, he said slowly after a moment of silence, “I won’t let you guys suffer any danger.”Fern looked at him. She clearly wanted to say something, but in the end, she went out without saying anything.The corners of Eugene’s lips were tugged. He did not know whether to cry or laugh. Did she seriously just leave him under the care of a little girl?However, it soon became evident that he underestimated Rue.In the afternoon, Rue put the food her mother made in the morning into the microwave to heat it up. After that, she brought the food to the coffee table in the living room to eat with Uncle Eugene.Her mother was not home, so she planned to feed him herself.“Uncle, don’t force yourself. Your arm is broken and you can’t move. Open your mouth like a good boy
It was ten o’clock at night when Sharon walked out from the building of Newton Corporation. She had been working for the whole day and was exhausted.She finally realized how tiring it was for Simon to manage such a huge company.Now, she was even asking him to help her manage the Newton family’s company. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had done him wrong.To be honest, if it were not for him, she would not be able to manage this company even for one day. This company would only go bankrupt if it was handed to her.“Huh? I'm at the door. Your car will be here soon? Okay, I’ll wait for you,” she walked out and said to Simon on the other side of the phone.When she got off the call, she was about to put her phone back into her bag when a dark shadow came out of nowhere and suddenly approached her.It was too late when she finally realized what was going on and wanted to dodge. The man was dressed in black and wearing a mask, exposing only his cruel eyes. H
Sharon woke up around the afternoon the next day. After she opened her eyes, she could smell the unique smell of disinfectant only a hospital would have.She suddenly remembered that she was stabbed by a thug. Now, she felt that her wound was in excruciating pain.“Ah, Miss Newton, you’re awake. I’ll call the doctor now.” The nurse quickly ran out after.She did not have time to ask anything. She remembered that Simon was the one who brought her to the hospital. Why was he not here?When she was thinking about that, she saw him walking in with the doctor.“Shar, how are you?” Simon walked to the side of the bed and held her hand.Sharon wanted to smile at him, but she was in so much pain she could not smile. She only said, “I’m fine.”After that, the doctor examined her to make sure her wound was already stable. After telling her about the things she needed to keep an eye on, he left.She could not eat for now. The back of her hand was connected to an IV and she had some nutrie
