"You should put a layer of oil. That way, you won't burn it."Sharon was about to flip the fish when a voice was suddenly heard coming from behind her. She could make out who that person was without turning around.She ignored that person and paid full attention to grilling the fish.Howard was not angry that she was ignoring him and headed straight to the chair beside her to sit down.At that moment, there were no other people in the kitchen. His gaze on her became much more ruthless."Do you really plan to marry my uncle again?" he suddenly asked.Sharon's actions came to a halt, but she still did not look at him and continued grilling the fish."When we're about to get married, you'll naturally receive an invitation," she said coldly.Howard's pupils shrunk, and the smirk on his face was rather cold. 'Judging from the way she’s putting her words, it means they really plan to get married!'"Are you really that eager to marry my uncle? Aren’t you afraid that after marrying hi
Even after Howard had left, Sharon still could not calm herself down.She was not angry because of Howard looking into her illness but because of her mother's issue.Even though she was clear that she had inherited her mother's gene, she was still perfectly normal right now and was not the slightest worried that Howard was looking for info about her illness. However, he had gone overboard by talking about her mother's illness."Mommy, I smell the aroma of the grilled fish. Can we eat now?" Sebastian came running in at that moment and asked."Just a little more will do. Aren't you supposed to be fishing?" Her son ran into the kitchen, and she suppressed all her unhappy feelings.Sebastian sighed lifelessly. "Maybe Manager Weiss was right. There's no fish right now. We have to wait till night-time as that’s the best time to fish.” Till now, he had yet to catch even one fish."I'm feeling a little famished, so I came here to see if there's any good food." He patted his stomach."I
Eugene immediately blurted out such a statement as soon as she answered the call and it left Sharon stunned. After quite some time, she had yet to reply to him.After a moment, she snapped out of it and said, "You… You know about it?"Hearing her reply made Eugene's tone become deeper and colder. "You knew about it long ago, right?!”"I… Yes." Since he already knew about it, she should just admit to it."Why didn’t you tell me if you knew about it?" Eugene asked."I wanted to tell you as well, but… I thought of Fern. It's obvious that she doesn’t wish for you to know.""Sienna Newton, are you still my younger sister?" Eugene called out her full name. 'It seems he's really exasperated that I hid it from him!'"Yes, I'm indeed your younger sister, but I'm also a mother. I can understand Fern's feelings…""I'll remember this incident. You owe me one!" Eugene interrupted Sharon and was not willing to listen to her explanation."Alright, just take it as I owe you one, alright?" S
After Simon jumped down, the others saw the scene and immediately jumped into the ocean to look for Sharon as well.Howard came over after he heard the commotion. "What's happening?""It's Miss Jeans. She fell into the ocean.""What?!" Howard was surprised and looked down over the railing. He saw his uncle already in the ocean to rescue Sharon.He could not stay calm and took off his suit before jumping into the water as well.Xena was already hiding in her room. Not long later, she heard the commotion from outside. She was feeling restless and suppressed her anxious feelings to come out to look at the scene.She saw Simon jumping down without saying another word, and Howard had also jumped down to save Sharon while feeling anxious.'Both of them are so worried about Sharon!'She suddenly felt that she had done nothing wrong. 'Sharon must die!'Sharon did not wish to be dead. Even the terror she felt when she had fallen into the river back then was still haunting her. She stil
Seeing her knocking on her head made Simon frown. He pulled her hands away and said in a deep voice, "Stop thinking about it if you didn't see that person. You're not smart to begin with, and if you keep knocking on your head, you’ll become even more silly."Sharon blinked her eyes and lifted her head to stare at him. Her soft punches landed on his chest. "You're the silly one."He did not stop her and allowed her to punch him. However, he was still being serious about the situation. 'She said someone pushed her. I have to look for this person. How can I allow such a person who has harmed her to roam freely?'"Mommy, are you awake? Are you alright?" Sebastian had been ordered by Simon to head back to sleep, but he could not fall asleep as he was worried about his mother."I'm alright.""Why are you so silly? How did you even fall into the ocean?" Sebastian said she was silly, yet he was feeling utterly heartbroken.The corners of Sharon's eyes twitched. 'Did the two of them talk
As Sharon had fallen into the ocean at night, she caught a cold after being rescued.Sebastian no longer had the mood to go fishing with Sharon being sick.She was having delirium because of her fever, and perhaps falling into the ocean had triggered the terror she experienced back then. She kept muttering softly and was insecure.Simon grabbed her hands tightly and leaned into her ear to talk to her. Only then did she feel assured.Seeing her pale little face, his eyes glittered dimly. ‘Just who on earth had pushed her down?’The next day, Xena was summoned to the study. Before she entered, she kept feeling perturbed. ‘I wonder what's the reason for Simon suddenly looking for me?’“Are you looking for me, Simon?” After composing herself, she entered the room with a smile.Simon’s expression was icy cool and she could not make out his emotions. His black eagle-like eyes were looking at her with an unusually cold and sharp gaze.“I’ve gone through all these documents. You can br
”But…”“Don't you understand what I just said?” Simon frowned and did not give her an opportunity to negotiate with him.Xena’s fingernails were buried deep in her palms. ‘He doesn’t have any evidence, yet he’s chasing me away just because he’s suspecting me? Is Sharon occupying that important of a place in his heart?’After working by Simon’s side for so long, she also knew his temper well. She knew that he would not listen to others once he had made up his mind. No matter how much one pleaded, it would be useless.Feeling aggrieved, she wiped off her tears. “I got it. I’ll head back and hand over my resignation letter.” She reverted to her usual obedient and mature look—except that her eyes were gleaming with hatred.“Get out.” Simon blurted those two words without any emotions.Xena forced out a smile and picked up the documents on the desk before obediently spinning around to leave without saying another word.When she was about to head out of the study, she could not help b
After being injected with an antipyretic medication and taking other medications, as well as sleeping for a whole day, Sharon finally recovered from her sickness.After dealing with some documents, Simon came over to visit her only to find that she was angry.“Why didn’t you call someone over if you're already awake? Who made you angry?” He sat at the side of the bed.She was disgruntled at the words spoken by Howard earlier and had chased him away. The anger within her could not diminish so soon.If Howard had not fled from the scene fast enough, Simon would have seen him.“I…” She coughed the moment she spoke. At that moment, she remembered that her throat was dry and painful.Simon poured her a glass of water. “Drink some water before you talk.”She gulped the big glass of water and felt her throat get much better.Seeing the way she chugged the water made Simon find it hilarious. “Drink it slowly. No one’s going to snatch the drink from you.She handed the glass back to hi
