The next day, Xena was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door. The moment she opened her eyes, she caught sight of the face of the man lying beside her.She thought that it would be Simon, but it was not him…“Ah! You… Why is it you?!” she shouted out as she pushed away the man’s hand, which was still wrapped around her, in a flurry of panic and horror.Shocked, William woke up immediately. There was an innocent expression on his face when he noticed the panicked and distressed woman in front of him. “Didn’t you hold onto me and ask me to stay last night?” he asked.“I… You…” Xena stuttered. She was dazed with shock. She had asked Simon to stay by her side. How could it be him instead? Could it be that… the man who entered the room last night was him? Had Simon never entered the room at all? She had turned off the lights on purpose, so she did not get to take a close look at the person who entered the room. Did she end up making a mistake because of this? No, it co
Simon was seated on a leather swivel chair in the study. Franky closed the door and left after bringing Xena into the room.Xena’s breathing grew erratic as she looked at the man who was seated in the chair before her. He emanated the cold and noble air of royalty. She rushed in front of him at once. She grabbed the cuff of his suit pants and cried out loud, “Simon, I was wrong, I was wrong. I know that I made a mistake… But you must hear me out. Everything isn’t what it seems to be. William Sorn raped me last night. He—” “You don’t need to explain anything to me,” Simon cut her off stonily before she could finish speaking. Xena raised her teary eyes and stared at the emotionless, nonchalant expression of the man in front of her. He was not angry at all. He did not even seem to care! His wife had slept with another man. How could he not be angry? Even if he had no feelings for her, she was still his wife! “Simon, I…” Her lips moved as she tried to say something. Howeve
Xena saw a cold, murderous glint flash across Simon’s face when he tightened his grip on her. She suddenly snapped back to reality. A sense of terror washed over her… If he knew that she and Howard had plotted everything together, he would definitely take her life immediately! She could not die yet… “I… I heard him mention that Sharon has agreed to get together with him again. Even if we get divorced, Sharon won’t return to your side,” she said while panting slightly. They were getting back together? Howard had indeed gotten closer to Sharon recently. He could see that Howard was pursuing her again. He did not believe that Sharon would be so easily moved, however. Nevertheless, since Howard was being so proactive, the flames of their love might actually be rekindled! “Think about it. Sharon is only alive now because of Howard. She may even express her gratitude to him by getting married to him.” Xena noticed a change in his expression. Simon’s gaze hardened
“Oh, Sebastian’s here. Your father came here to congratulate you and watch the award ceremony,” the teacher said when she saw them.Sharon understood immediately. The teacher had told him to come over.She raised her eyes. Right then, he looked over at her as well. Their gazes met in the air. Her breathing grew erratic as she avoided his gaze.“Who asked him to come?” Sebastian asked with a pout. He did not welcome Simon at all.The teacher did not know that they had severed their parent-child relationship. She just thought that they were playfully bickering around.“Sebastian, this is wrong. How can you treat your own father like that?”“He’s no longer my father. I don’t have a father,” Sebastian said. He was not afraid of other people calling him a child without a father anymore. “What nonsense are you talking about?” the teacher chastised softly. She was afraid that his parents would blame her for not educating him well.“Mommy, let’s go in,” Sebastian said as he pulled his
Sharon felt Simon’s strong arm circle her waist tightly in the dark. Thanks to him, she was not sprawled on the ground. She instinctively grabbed the front of his shirt. Suddenly, she felt like she had gotten zapped by electricity. She then pushed him off reflexively. However, it seemed like he had expected her to react this way. He tightened his hold on her waist and hugged her! He pressed her body into his embrace and buried his head in the crook of her neck. He took a whiff of the familiar fragrance on her body. This was the scent that he had yearned for...After he hugged her, Sharon forgot everything about their chaotic surroundings. Her body stiffened in the dark. However, she was filled with mixed emotions. A rush of anger surged within her uncontrollably. ‘Damn it, what is he doing?’ She struggled with all her might and yelled out in an angry, hushed voice, “Bastard, let me go!” Her resistance did not make him loosen his grip. He held the back of her head an
Sharon widened her eyes and stared at him in disbelief. Had he gone mad? How dare he say this in front of everyone? She flushed red in embarrassment. Sebastian was momentarily stunned as well. He could not bring himself to scold him. “Oh, so both of you were having a lover’s quarrel. We were mistaken.” “Damn it, they were flirting right before our eyes!” The parents continued gossiping once again. Sharon glared at him in anger. They were already divorced. What was his purpose in doing this? What a despicable man! ...It was eight o’clock at night when they came out of the school. Sharon held her son’s hand as they walked together. She completely ignored the man following right behind them. Just as they were about to get in the car, two bodyguards stopped them in their tracks. They both knew who the bodyguards worked for. “Scumbag, what do you want to do to my mommy again?” Sebastian turned around and scolded Simon irritatedly. He could not stand this anym
Sharon and Sebastian sat next to each other at the table next to the floor-to-ceiling window in the Western restaurant. Simon sat opposite them.Just then, the waiters served them the dishes that they had ordered.Simon had really brought them here to eat baked rice with cheese and lobster. He ordered three sets in a go!Although the dish looked classy and smelled tempting, Sharon was not attracted to the food at all.She would not eat any of the food that he gave her. She did not want to have anything to do with him at all.She glanced at Sebastian who was seated beside her. This kid, who had repeatedly emphasized the fact that he had cut ties with his father, had been bribed by the delicious food. She could not help but let out an inward sigh.“Eat more. If it still isn’t enough, you can order it again,” Simon said as he looked at Sebastian.Sebastian tried his best to move his focus away from the food. “You were the one who brought us over by force. We aren’t the ones asking
“Huh? You’re not eating too?” Sebastian asked.“Since your mommy isn’t eating, I don’t have an appetite either,” he said. His words disgusted her! “If you guys aren’t eating, I’ll eat!” he exclaimed. He would not act courteously in front of them. He could not give up on such delicious food! Sebastian moved their plates of baked rice in front of himself. He was not courteous about it at all. Sharon could not help but place her head in her hands. How much could he eat?She was worried that their son would sell himself for food one day! Some distance away, Xena was watching the three of them from outside the restaurant. A hateful glint flashed across her gaze.He divorced her because of Sharon Jeans! He had done everything that he could to approach Sharon. He was even taking advantage of his own son! It was impossible for them not to cross paths because of Sebastian’s existence. Hate surged within her heart when she recalled how he had told her that Sebastian would always
