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
Even if you dare run away, I'll not let you go easily," he said in a harsh tone.After saying it, he immediately lowered his head and kissed her on her lips in a domineering manner that declared his absolute authority.…After Sharon recovered, they left the small island and headed back to the Zachary household.After all, they had to plan their marriage that would be taking place next month. Simon had lots to prepare.The very first thing would be to inform his sister so that she would not disagree with it when the time arrived. Otherwise, the entire ceremony would fail to proceed smoothly."What? You’re having a wedding next month? I disagree with it!" Indeed, the first thing that Penelope said was her disapproval of it.Coincidentally, Xena was around and heard that Simon wanted to get married. She was also astonished. 'This is way too fast!'Doesn't he know that Sharon is sick?'No. He knows about it. Or else he wouldn't have brought Sharon to seek treatment. Is he really
The moment Simon said those words, the atmosphere in the hall immediately froze and all the servants were scared. They had no idea who they should obey.Penelope was annoyed and bellowed coldly, "Why are you guys standing over there? Hurry and chase her out, or do you want me to chase all of you out instead?"Her comment was rather threatening. All the servants were afraid they might lose their jobs. They disregarded the awful expression on Simon's face and wanted to head over to chase Sharon out.Simon's eagle-like eyes darkened as he stretched out his hands. He held Sharon in his arms and snapped at those servants, "Get lost!""Simon, you're still protecting her? She's a crazy woman. You can't marry her!" Penelope was anxious. 'Just what did Sharon do to spellbind him?'"Penelope, please refrain from making such comments. Shar is my wife!" No one could change his mind once he had decided on something.Sharon became anxious when she noticed that Simon and Penelope were about to
Penelope had never been this mad before. She smashed the cups ruthlessly. The servants all held their breaths for fear they would breathe out too loudly.Xena watched Simon and Sharon leave with widened eyes. She felt as though her heart had sunk to the bottom of an abyss.She had never expected that even Penelope would not be able to stop him from marrying Sharon."Aunt Penelope, don't be so angry as it’ll affect your health. Simon won’t be concerned about you if anything happens as his heart only has Sharon."It would be better if she had not said those things. After she said them, Penelope became more exasperated. This time, she even smashed the teapot."Darn it! Sharon should go to hell!" she roared.Xena's eyes glittered ruthlessly. 'Indeed, Sharon should go to hell. If I can't stop Simon from marrying her, then the only way is to make her die. All of this will come to an end then.''But…' She suddenly thought of Howard's warning that she should not harm Sharon!'This is s
"Hmph… Xena, you can quit the act in front of me. Do you know that this face of yours can’t hide anything from me?" Howard said while laughing coldly."You…" Xena was embarrassed and mad. However, she burst into laughter and mocked, "I'd say both you and Sharon are sick!"She wanted to leave the scene, not wanting to say another word to Howard as he was way too suspicious."Xena, you should be very clear by now that my aunty is not able to stop my uncle from getting married. Only with you cooperating with me will you have a better chance of becoming my uncle's wife." Howard faced her back and slowly blurted out the words.Xena's footsteps came to a halt. She wanted to leave the scene and ignore his comment but his very last statement about her becoming his uncle's wife was way too tempting.She spun around and stared at him. She then pretended to say in a mocking tone, "Aren't you very capable? You can choke me to death whenever you want to, so why do you still want to team up wit
