Eugene pursed his thin lips and put down the wine glass in his hand that was filled with a golden liquid. He got up.Fern entered the room and was about to lock the door when the man's towering silhouette appeared. He came into the room directly without a care.Although this was Fern and her daughter's room, it was also his territory. She could not stop him from entering.She did not want to glance at him and immediately spun around to walk into the room. A cold expression remained on her face. “Do you need anything?" She sat in front of the dressing table.After Eugene closed the door, he walked up to her, not bothered about the cold expression on her face.After arriving behind her, he stretched out his long arms and placed them on the dressing table. He leaned forth to get closer to her and spoke by her ear, "Sienna just called. She’ll be coming over to have dinner with us.”Fern's expressionless face finally had some changes. 'Sharon is coming over?'So he has told Sharon ab
Sharon came by on her own. Moreover, Wyatt was the one who picked her up.After getting out of the car, she looked inquisitively at the magnificent villa in front of her. She had no idea Eugene had this house, not to mention it was so deeply hidden.She heard that he had moved Fern and Rue here, and it seemed as if this magnificent house was built just for his beloved woman.Just as Sharon entered the house, a small figure rushed toward her, yelling, “You’re here, Aunt Shar!”Rue heard that Sharon was coming over after coming back from school. She immediately knew that Sharon was here when she heard a car coming in.Sharon embraced the little doll-like girl who was pouncing on her and handed her the gift box in her hand. “Look here. I got you something.”“Thank you, Aunt Shar!” Rue gave her a kiss on the cheek and said, “My mom and dad are waiting for you inside. Let’s go in.”When she heard the child addressing Eugene as her dad, there was a slight flicker in her eyes, but she
Sharon still could not figure out what was going on with these three just yet. How did they end up living together after she came back from a vacation?She never thought that Eugene would be this quick to take action.“Rue, why did you call him ‘Dad’ earlier?”“He’s my dad now. He’s acknowledged me as his daughter, and Mom has agreed to be with him. So now we’re a family of three!” Rue looked rather proud to announce this. She finally had a father and a complete family of her own!“Is that so? Then I’d like to congratulate you as well, Brother and Fern,” Sharon said while smiling.She noticed that Fern was grinning reluctantly and had quickly lowered her head to hide the emotions in her eyes. It seemed like she was unwilling to be here?Since dinner was ready, Sharon stuck around and had a meal with them.After dinner, she and Eugene had tea in the small garden.“Why did you suddenly change your mind and want to be with Fern?” Was it because he wanted to give Rue a family?“Yo
While they were inside the car heading home, Sharon furrowed her brows as she looked out the window without saying a word.“Did Eugene bully you?” Simon narrowed his eyes, examining her expression.She abruptly regained her consciousness and shook her head, replying, “No.”“Then why are you so unhappy?” He pinched her chin and looked into her eyes.“I was just thinking about how he’s trapping Fern and the child by his side. It seems a bit wrong.” She knew that it was wrong but barely said anything to help Fern. She was inevitably feeling guilty about it in her heart.Once he understood her thoughts, he dimly said, “He’s an adult, so he should be well aware of what he’s doing. It’s not something you should be worrying about. Since you have the time to think about this sort of thing, why don’t you think about our wedding instead?”“I thought all of the wedding matters will be handled by you?” she said while smiling.“I’m talking about the wedding rings we have to wear on our weddi
“You seem to have asked this question many times now.” She had lost the patience to answer the same question.Howard suddenly let out a chuckle, making her expression turn somewhat confused. What was so funny?“You’re still so innocent, Shar… Wait, no. I think you’re a fool and a dummy. You’re too easily deceived.”Sharon’s expression became colder now. “You should watch your tongue.” Was something wrong with this man? Why did he come here just to mock her?Howard stopped laughing and looked into her eyes without blinking, saying, “I’m just saying that you’re dumb. I can’t believe how clueless you are that you’re getting lied to at this moment.”“What do you mean getting lied to? Perhaps you’ve made a mistake here?” “For the sake of our past relationship, I’d like to ask you, do you truly think that my uncle is such a kind-hearted person? You abandoned him on your wedding day two years ago and made him lose his dignity. The whole world was laughing at him. Do you think that he’s
After Howard left, Sharon kept thinking about that smile he had on his face and could not help but find it weird. However, she could not tell what was off with it.Then, she looked down at her hands and saw the diamond necklace he gave her. The huge diamonds were gleaming dazzlingly.It was just that as soon as she thought about Howard being the one who had gifted it to her, it felt more like a hot piece of charcoal now.“Excuse me, Miss, does the shop buy diamonds as well?” she asked.The shop assistant had witnessed the moment Howard gave her the necklace with her own eyes. She never expected that Sharon would sell it off so quickly!“We do, but the price will be much lower than the original price. Are you sure about selling it?”Without the slightest hesitation, Sharon handed the gift box over to her and said, “Please evaluate how much this diamond necklace is worth. I’d like to sell it off as soon as possible.”“Okay, please give me a moment.” The shop assistant took the nec
“It’s just an unwanted necklace, so I’m selling it while we’re here.”“That’s all?” He did not believe it was that simple.As he stared at her with a scorching gaze, she ultimately sighed and confessed, “Fine. It was a wedding gift from Howard. I don’t like it, so I’m selling it off.”“Howard?” Simon’s eyes darkened slightly. What was the fellow planning now?“Are you sure what he gave you was merely a wedding gift?”“That’s what he said anyway. Even the shop assistant here heard him and saw him.”With that said, perhaps Howard would no longer have any presumptuous thoughts about her. “You did a good job handling it. I’ll reward you with a set of jewelry. Go ahead and pick one.”Seeing his arrogant yet generous stance, she raised her hand and placed it on his shoulder before asking, “Aren’t you being too stingy by only rewarding me with a set of jewelry, President Zachary?”“Is it too little? How about I buy this entire store and give it to you?”“Sounds good to me. Just thi
Sharon abruptly pushed him away while staring into his eyes. Then, she said somewhat nervously, “Wh-What do you mean by that? Are you truly trying to take revenge on me?”Simon was genuinely getting pissed off by her and lifted his hand to knock on her head once more. “You bloody stupid woman.”She rubbed on her head in pain and glared at him. “Why are you cursing at me?”“You deserve it after saying such a thing. Did you become this stupid after meeting Howard?” He wondered why she suddenly brought these things up. Howard must have said something to her.“Ho-How am I the stupid one? I was genuinely asking you the question!”“And Howard was the one who planted this idea in your head, right?” He quickly exposed her.Sharon pursed her lips in silence. Was he even able to guess this?“Well, he did.”Simon sneered at her, “And you ate it all up? Are you stupid?”“I don’t believe him, but I merely wanted to ask you anyway.”Once she uttered these words, the man leaned in front of
