Chapter 311


    Everything just happened too quickly. Not only did the passers-by freeze, even Stanley, who had


    just ced the children into the cab, was dumbfounded. When he realized what had happened, his


    expression changed dramatically.


    Immediately, he shouted at Sharon who was running, "Hide!"


    As soon as he said that, the car thrashed toward Sharon. With a bang, the car crashed and its front


    was deformed, and white smoke wasing out of the hood. Through the smoke, Stanley couldn''t


    see if Sharon was alright.


    Cries of shock then came from the crowd, and those who hade back to their senses began to


    call the police...


    Stanley stood rooted to the spot as his mind went nkpletely. Cold sweat broke out on his


    back as he walked step by step towards where Sharon was. He wanted to call her name, but he


    couldn''t make a sound.


    His face was pale and his hands were trembling. He couldn''t help thinking about the worst


    scenario...


    What if...


    No! Sharon wouldn''t die!


    Suddenly, he felt a headache, as if something had pierced through his head, and he crouched down


    slowly. There were shing memories that came into his mind. It was a pretty girl who was smiling


    and her eyes were like the crescent moon...


    It was Sharon!


    Instantly, every fragment of his memories rushed back to him, be it strange scenes, or familiar ones,


    and he was struck on the spot.


    "Hubby..." A sound came to his mind.


    He then remembered there used to be a girl who called him sweetly like this, and it was Sharon.


    Just as Stanley was lost in the past, someone suddenly grabbed his shoulders, and an anxious


    voice sounded. "Stanley, are you alright? You look pale... Hey, can you hear me?"


    Hearing that, he looked up and saw Sharon''s colorless face, but she heaved a sigh of relief. "You


    scared me. You looked like you were the one who almost got hit by the car. Why do you look... ah!"


    Before she could finish her words, Stanley, who was staring straight at her, suddenly pulled her into


    his arms and hugged her so tight that she almost couldn''t breathe.


    Sharon was surprised. What was going on with him? Why did he suddenly hug her?


    Finally, she was running out of breath and started to struggle. "Alright, let go of me now. I... I''m fine."


    Sharon thought that he was still frightened by the ident just now, so sheforted him, "Look,


    I''m not injured at all. Don''t worry. I won''t me it on you!"


    She thought that Stanley had reacted this way because he was afraid that she would me it on


    him.


    Soon, she could feel him loosening his grip and she looked up to find that Stanley''s gaze was fixed


    on her. His eyes were bright, giving a sense of insightfulness.


    With an awkward expression, she stuttered, "Wh-what''s wrong?"


    "Sharon Cruz..." Stanley called her full name for the first time. His voice was quite hoarse and he


    sounded like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just asked tremblingly, "Are... are you


    alright?"


    She was relieved. "Yeah, I''m fine. I thought you were going to tell me something. Anyway, was it


    you calling me to look for a ce to hide just now? Jeez, my mind went nk at that time, but your


    voice had woken me up thankfully, and I managed to escape."


    "Yeah, it was me."


    Stanley smiled and stared at her with an unprecedented gentle gaze. He then stood up and pulled


    her up. Making sure that she was fine, he finally felt at ease.


    Soon, the police came over and documented the ident. The driver turned out to be under the


    influence of alcohol and the brakes were malfunctioning, so he had crashed a lot of things on the


    way here. Fortunately, no one got hurt.


    Atst, the police transported them to the hospital to make sure they were alright, then suggested


    that they settled it privately.


    Stanley looked at the drunk driver, who was crouching in the corner, and smiled coldly. "No way. He


    has to pay for what he did tonight."


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    If it hadn''t been for Sharon''s quick wit, she could have been...


    Stanley didn''t want to think about it anymore. He just said, "I''ll have mywyer contact you." Then


    he left with Sharon and the kids.


    On the way back, Sharon remained silent. Earlier, she hadn''t been that afraid and it was only now


    that she started to fear. If she had been a little slow in dodging, she could have died.


    Fortunately, when the ident happened, the two children were in the cab and they didn''t witness it


    themselves. Otherwise, they could have been traumatized.


    Sharon sighed, then slowly fell asleep in the cab with the twins in her arms.


    When she woke up, the car had pulled up in her neighborhood. ncing at the man beside her, she


    asked embarrassingly, "Why didn''t you wake me up when we arrived?"


    Before Stanley could answer, the driver said, "Miss, was that your husband? He''s so considerate of


    you. Just now when we arrived, he didn''t want to wake you up, so he paid me twice the fare instead.


    You''re so lucky to have such an attentive husband!"


    The driver praised Stanley so much that Sharon started to feel awkward, because she knew how


    sharp-tongued and bad-tempered Stanley could be.


    Nevertheless, for the sake of his dignity, she didn''t expose him in front of the driver.


    After that, the two of them carried the twins each and climbed the stairs. It was a little too quiet, so


    Sharon cleared her throat and asked, "Why didn''t you wake me up? It''s a waste to spend money


    like that."


    Behind her, Stanley joked, "Well, because I''m a considerate husband."


    Hearing that, she was quite speechless.


    Sure enough, he began to put feathers in his cap again. Sharon pouted.


    When they climbed to the second floor, Sharon began to feel exhausted and panted a little.


    Although Sadie was just a kid, she still weighed.


    "Let me carry her." Stanley took their daughter out of her arms and held the children on each side,


    to which Sharon gaped in surprise. "Are you okay with it?"


    Stanley gave her a sidelong nce. "Are you looking down on me?"


    Sharon made a wave. "Nah. I trust you."


    Ah, Stanley was indeed someone who cared about his dignity. She was just expressing her concern


    and he thought that she was questioning his ability...


    Without carrying Sadie, it was much easier for Sharon to climb up the stairs, and they reached


    home very soon. She then opened the door for Stanley to carry the two kids, who were already


    asleep, into the bedroom.
