“Do you want me to breach the contract?” “Do you mean that you’ll be required to pay a large sum of penalty if you breach it? I’m willing to pay it even if it’s ten times more. I’ll free you from your work.” Overcome with anxiety, Fern pushed him forcefully and spoke to him with a cold expression on her face, “I know that you’re wealthy, but you can’t interfere with my work. I’ll agree to empty out my schedule more often so that I can come home and spend more time with Rue.” She did not want to come back because she wanted to avoid him. In truth, she missed her daughter dearly as well.If he got his hands on her contract, she was afraid that she would not have many movies to film in the future. She did not dare imagine herself staying home with him every single day.Eugene raised her chin with his well-defined fingers. He narrowed his eyes and stared at her. “Are you using our daughter to list down conditions?” he asked. That was their child!“No, I—”Before Fern finished
Sharon made an appointment with the doctor today. She accompanied Simon to the hospital to get his legs checked.His insomnia had largely improved. After returning to her and Sebastian’s side, his emotions became much more stable.He just had to resolve the problem with his legs now.In the doctor’s office, the doctor was holding onto Simon’s report. He was reading it meticulously. Sharon was more worried now. She could not help but ask, “Doctor, how’s his current condition?” Actually, she wanted to ask the doctor about the probability that he was able to recover. The doctor frowned and said, “From the report, it doesn’t seem ideal...You mentioned that he got hurt two years ago. He received treatment but didn’t continue with it back then, so he missed out on the best time for treatment.” “Is it too late to receive treatment now?” Sharon asked. Simon remained calm. Regardless of whether he was able to receive treatment, he had been mentally prepared for this a long time a
Sharon prepared a few dishes for him. They were all his favorites. “Try this fish. Is it fresh enough?” she asked as she pushed the platter of fish in front of him with a cheery smile on her face. Simon looked at her without moving. “What’s wrong? You don’t feel like having fish?” she asked in confusion. He shook his head. “Are there bones in this fish?” “Isn’t that nonsense? Why wouldn’t fish have bones?” she asked. She suddenly understood what he was trying to imply. She smiled ambiguously and asked, “Do you want me to help you pick out the bones?” “In that case, I’d have to trouble you,” he said. This was really what he meant! “Do you want me to feed you?” “That sounds pretty good as well.” Was he waiting for her to serve him? She could have refused, but she took her cutleries and helped him pick out the bones in the fish. She then put the spoonful of fish in front of his mouth. “Come on, good boy. Eat this.” “What did you call me?” “I called you a goo
Ceylon had helped Sharon to look after the laboratory while she was gone during this period of time.Now that she was back, she could not return to the laboratory to work due to her wound. Therefore, Ceylon had come over to visit her.He realized that there was someone else in the house after following Sharon in.“This is?” Ceylon asked curiously as he glanced at Simon evaluatively.Sharon initially wanted to tell him that he was Simon. However, she changed her mind. Simon had not disclosed his identity to everyone yet.Simon saw Ceylon carrying a large bouquet of red roses. There was nothing wrong with him gifting her a bouquet of flowers when he was here to visit, but it seemed extremely inappropriate to gift her roses.“Darling, is this your teacher?” he asked, pretending that it was his first time meeting Ceylon. “Oh? Uh… Yes, this is my teacher, Ceylon Frank. He’s now part of my team at the laboratory. He’s my good friend as well,” Sharon said. She did not understand why S
“You’re being funny. If I don’t like him, why would I accept him as my boyfriend?” Sharon understood how Ceylon felt. He found it hard to accept this and was also afraid that she was getting tricked by others.Ceylon stared at them with a look of disbelief on his face. He wanted to know what it was about Henry that had touched Sharon’s heart.“You… Are you being threatened by someone?” He continued to guess. Sharon sighed in amusement. “Teacher, you’re really overthinking it. I’m a grown woman. Isn’t it normal for me to have a boyfriend?” she asked. Ceylon could not manage to find out anything, so he stopped asking questions for the time being. However, he was still wary of Simon.“Alright, I don’t have anything to say about you having a boyfriend, but I hope your work won’t be affected by your relationship. The laboratory belongs to you,” Ceylon said. He talked to her in an authoritative tone with the stance of a teacher. Sharon did not understand why he was suddenly unhappy
After the doctors came up with a customized treatment plan for Simon, Sharon would accompany him to the hospital to receive treatment and carry out rehabilitation every day. She returned to the laboratory after her wound had pretty much recovered. Ceylon could not always manage the laboratory for her, after all.It seemed like their lives had started getting back on track.After a week of treatment, Simon took two to three days of rest. The doctors asked him to carry out rehabilitation at home.Sharon’s fragrance laboratory had imported a new batch of flowers. Hence, she left early in the morning.It was the weekend, so Simon and Sebastian were left at home by themselves.Simon was handling his business matters with his laptop. He had not allowed himself to stop working or remain idle in these two years. He had started a new company of his own. The company was called Siemon Group. It was named after his name and Sharon’s. His company had garnered some attention in the financ
“Huh? Why?” “So that you’ll become more alert and stop being obsessed over games.” “Alright, we’ve come to an agreement!” Sebastian said confidently. He did not think that he would lose. Simon took a few minutes to buy two game accounts. Five minutes later, Simon and Sebastian both had premium accounts. They went online, signed into their accounts, and entered the battlefield. “Daddy, do you want to familiarize yourself with the game and learn how to use the skills first? Otherwise, you’ll say that I’m bullying you later,” Sebastian said. His words were way too arrogant. He simply did not want his daddy to lose too terribly. After all, he had never played this game before. “I don’t need to do that. Let’s start,” Simon said. He had thoroughly understood the controls of the game with a single glance. “You were the one who said that. Don’t regret it if you lose to me later.” “Stop the nonsense, let’s begin.” Both of them began to battle it out against each other
Sharon bid Ceylon goodbye at the airport.“I don’t know when I’ll be back after leaving this time. You must take care,” Ceylon said as he looked at her worriedly. His mother was seriously ill, so he had to go back to take care of her. He was not sure when he would be able to come back to help Sharon again. “Your mother’s health is much more important. You can come back whenever the time is right for you. After all, my laboratory will always welcome you,” Sharon said. “Remember to call me if you’re facing any problems that can’t be resolved. You can give me a video call as well.” Ceylon was still worried that she would not be able to figure out the fragrance formula that she was currently researching.“I would do that even if you didn’t tell me to.” Sharon realized that he had started to nag a lot more as compared to the past.The broadcast notified the passengers that it was time for boarding. Sharon waved at him and said, “Go on, I’ll wait for you to come back.” The gaze
