Without waiting for her to reply, Simon bent down and carried her in his arms. He then walked toward the bathroom.“Hey…” Sharon exclaimed softly but still instinctively circled her arms around his neck. From his domineering stance, she knew that it was useless to reject him. She realized that the bathtub had already been filled with water after he carried her into the bathroom. “So you’ve planned this earlier on,” she said with a pout. Simon put her down on the washstand. His voice was slightly husky as he said, “Darling, it’s just a bath. Don’t make it sound like I’m scheming against you,” he said. “I’ve been rather tired recently. Can you give me a massage later?” she said with a grin as she looked at the handsome man before her. Simon raised his eyes and pinned a dark gaze on her. He kissed her on the lips and asked, “When have I ever failed to satisfy any of your requests?” He then carried her again and placed her into the bathtub. “Ah…” she exclaimed in surprise
Sharon was wondering who would come over to the island to look for him. After all, he had bought this island only recently. A moment later, someone brought two people over to the restaurant. They made their way toward them. Sharon looked at them. She was inevitably shocked after recognizing who they were—Summer Gabriel and Joey… She had not seen them in a long time. She knew about Summer’s relationship with Simon, so she was not surprised that she managed to find him here. However, she did not notice that Riley’s smile had faded when she caught sight of Summer. Riley lowered her head and continued eating, deliberately not looking at her. It seemed like she was avoiding her on purpose. Summer walked in front of them. Her hair was still short and tidy. She gave off the air of a capable woman. “Simon, I heard that you bought an island, so I came over to take a look,” Summer said with a smile. After speaking, she directed her gaze toward Sharon and glanced at her eval
He sat down on the sofa and crossed his long legs casually. He tapped the table with his slender fingers and said, “You can speak now.” The door of the lounge was closed, and Joey did not come in with them. He was guarding the door instead. “The last batch of goods we bought was intercepted by that old snake’s people. I sent someone to ask for it, but he pretended to be confused and told me that they didn't know it was our goods. The goods have now been taken by them,” Summer said. She was still angry over this incident. Simon tapped his fingers against the table as his sharp gaze darkened. “Does he want to start a fight?” he asked. “I don’t think it’s that simple. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare intercept our goods.”Simon’s expression darkened. “I’ll ask Franky to handle this issue,” he said. Summer thought about it for a while and then said, “That’s good as well. It’d be best if we find out what the heck he intends to do.”She steadied her breathing and drank some water
Sharon thought that something had happened to her son, so she rushed over to him as soon as she heard his yells. “Mommy, look! This is a starfish. It just got washed up by the waves!” Sebastian exclaimed in surprise as he pointed at a red starfish on the beach. Sharon lowered her head and took a closer look. It was really a starfish. She let out a sigh of relief. She thought something had happened to him. “Mommy, it’s still moving! It’s alive!” Sebastian excitedly cried out as he grabbed her hand. “You said that it just got washed up by the waves. It isn’t surprising that it’s still alive,” Sharon said. It was her first time seeing a live starfish as well. “Mommy, I want to keep it as a pet. Is that alright?” “Of course,” she said. “I’ll go back to look for a jar so that we can put it in. Look after it,” she added. “Alright. Hurry up, Mommy,” he said. He was afraid that the starfish would die. Sharon asked Riley to look after Sebastian. She then ran back to look
Summer smiled and said, “You guys should go ahead. I’m slightly seasick, so I want to rest early.” Joey started getting anxious when she said that. He walked to her side immediately and asked, “Miss, are you alright?” Summer, who had always been a tough woman, supported her forehead with a hand. She looked extremely weak. “I’m not feeling well,” she said. Joey’s expression stiffened. “I’ll send you up to take some rest,” he said anxiously. “President Zachary, please get someone to bring us to our rooms,” he told Simon. Simon glanced at Summer. She was not seasick, but... He did not say much. He called a staff member over and asked him to bring them to their rooms. Sharon really thought that Summer was not feeling well due to her seasickness. She politely told Summer to rest well before dragging Simon to the beach at once. “Mommy, why are you as slow as a snail? My starfish is about to die!” Sebastian huffed when he saw Sharon who was late. “It won’t die that qu
“Simon, what… What is that?” Sharon asked. She let go of him and pointed at the blue luminescent spots on the surface of the ocean. After a while, the few luminescent spots gradually increased. The spots of light surrounded the shore like stars that had fallen into the ocean… What a dreamy scene! “They’re jellyfish,” Simon said with a faint smile. “Jellyfish?” “Yes, I heard that glowing jellyfish would appear here at night. I thought that such a scene would be extremely special and you’d definitely like it. That’s why I bought this island.” “You…” she stuttered as she turned around to look at the well-defined features on his handsome face. She never expected him to be so thoughtful. A gush of warmth surged through her. Her hands remained circled around his neck. “If you continue treating me so well, I won’t know how to repay you,” she said.“You can get married to me,” he said intently. She was slightly dazed. He wrapped his arm around her waist and raised her chin.
He stared at her red lips. To him, they were such a temptation. He could not resist lowering his head to kiss her. Sharon was pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window. “Don’t… Someone will see,” she said. He did not care if someone else saw them, but since she minded, he had no choice but to carry her in his arms and walk toward the other room while kissing her. His intentions were clear. She blushed as she evaded his kisses. “What are you doing? Sebastian is sleeping in the room,” she said. “I know.” He had already placed her on the bed when she came to her senses once again... Right now, she did not care about the relationship between Summer and her best friend. She gradually lost herself in his deep kiss. ...Riley crossed her arms in front of her chest under the tree in the garden. There was a cold expression on her face. Summer looked straight at her and asked her once again, “Have you really thought it through? Have you decided not to go back with me?”
Sharon was staring into Simon’s eyes when someone knocked on the door. Sebastian’s voice rang out from outside the door. “Daddy, Mommy, are you inside?” “Sebastian is here. Help me get up at once.” Simon carried her up and placed her on the bed. He trapped her with his arms and inched closer to her. “What happened to your legs? Let me take a look,” he said. Sharon stopped him before he could touch her legs. “I’m fine. I just lost my balance,” she said in embarrassment. “Are you sure?” She felt his breath against her face. It was affecting her badly. Her ears heated up as she pushed him off awkwardly. “I’m really fine. Go open the door. I need to change my clothes.” Their son had always been impatient. He started hitting the door since no one responded to him! “Mommy, open the door! I know that you’re inside. You guys are way too mean. We agreed to sleep together. Why did you guys abandon me and let me sleep alone again?”Sebastian had woken up alone this morning.
