"Mommy, I’m going with you! I don’t want to be apart from you!” The boy hugged her tightly and refused to let go.Simon stood next to them wordlessly, his expression impossible to read.Douglas’ old face darkened. Did she want him to beg her to come back?“Don’t worry. I told you to come back, so no one’s chasing you out again as long as I’m here!” Douglas had no choice but to accept Sharon for his grandson’s sake.“Since Dad said so, just do it. No need to worry.” Simon finally spoke, his gaze unfathomable.“Yeah, Mommy! Since Grandpa said so, just come back and stay with me,” the boy piped up.Sharon did not really want to move back in, but her son was here and she would rather not stay with Simon outside. She did not feel at ease living with him.In that case, she had no choice but to nod. “Alright, I’ll move in.”With the old man’s word, it would be much harder for Penelope to kick her out again.That night, Penelope walked into the Zachary household’s dining room only to

Sharon could not help but laugh. “I’m not really a puppy. Why would I bite?”“Are you sure? Are you really sure you won’t bite me?” The man’s voice was extremely low as he said that, and his tall body slowly leaned in, trapping her between the closet and his chest.Sharon did not react at first, but when she met his teasing gaze, her face instantly turned red. She finally realized what he was insinuating.“You… Don’t get too close. We’re at the Zachary household, and Sebastian will be here soon!” She wanted to push him away out of embarrassment, but he grabbed her wrist and pinned it behind her back.He then lowered his forehead to press against hers, saying softly, “I locked the door just now, so he can’t come in.” Simon had learned his lesson now, so he guarded against the boy’s sneak attacks in advance.“Y-You…” Sharon looked at his handsome face in disbelief. Had he been aiming for this from the moment he stepped into the room?The man lifted her chin with his slender finger

Under a large tree in the garden, Sharon saw Sally Luke!So Wayne was here to meet Sally. No wonder he was being extra careful.Sharon did not dare to approach them too closely, in case they noticed her. All she could do was hide behind a nearby tree and spy on them secretly.They were a distance away, so she could not hear them. However, she saw Sally lean into Wayne’s embrace, looking hurt. She seemed to be seeking comfort.Sharon hurriedly took out her phone and snapped a picture. This was the best evidence she could get!She had thought that Wayne had left, but it seemed that he had merely switched to working at another hospital. This was the best private hospital in River City, so she had to hand it to Wayne for getting a job here. That was not easy.Perhaps it was because he consoled her as she hoped for. Sally stopped looking quite so pitiful, and they wrapped their arms around each other, even making out.Sharon was not going to let go of such a perfect chance, of cours

“We don’t know, either, but we’ve found that car using the surveillance cameras. It’s heading into the forest outside the city now.”“Send me the address!” Simon hung up abruptly and grabbed his car keys, striding out of the house.His handsome face was cold and his brows tightly knitted. When he heard that Sharon had been kidnapped, he lost all of his usual cool. He found himself surprisingly frustrated and even more worried.Who was out for her? Could it be one of the Zacharies’ business rivals?He had not announced his relationship with her, so outsiders should not know that she was Mrs. Zachary. Who could it be then?When Simon walked past the living room, he saw that Sebastian was not asleep yet. The boy was stacking bricks in the living room, looking bored.“Dad, are you going out too?” He looked at Simon, perplexed.Simon’s gaze flickered, but he tried to act calm in front of his son. “Yes.”The boy ran toward him and grabbed his pants with his small hand, looking up at

Now that he mentioned it, Sharon remembered everything that had happened before she passed out. She had gone to the hospital to meet Doctor Collins but she was knocked out by someone in the car park. She had no idea what happened after that, though.She felt some pain from her wrist, so she looked down and saw that her wrist was wrapped up in a white bandage. Frowning, she asked in confusion, “My hand…”“After you were taken away, your kidnappers cut open your wrist and left you in an abandoned warehouse. They wanted you to bleed to death.” Simon’s tone was calm, but there was solemn murder in his eyes.“What?” Sharon looked at him in disbelief. They had cut her wrist?“W-Who… would do something so vicious?” It was hard for her to believe that there was someone this cruel and heartless to try and kill her in such a fashion.Simon shook his head, his gaze unreadable. “I don’t know.”“Did you save me? What happened to the people who caught me?”“They’re dead.”Everything he saw w
