Chapter 354


    Sharon immediately regained her senses and stopped him. "The phone is ringing!"


    "Let it be!"


    Stanley was a little displeased.


    Covering herself with her clothes, she moved under his arm and got down from the bed with a


    flushed face. "Go and have a look. What if there is something important?"


    In spite of his headache, he still took a deep breath and walked out of the room.


    Being left alone there, she stroked her warm face and bit her own lips.


    In the living room, Stanley found his phone on the couch. When he saw the caller ID, he frowned.


    Although he was impatient, he could not help but answer the phone, "Why are you calling me in the


    middle of the night?"


    It was a call from Ryan, who didn''t sense the unpleasant tone of Stanley. In a very straightforward


    manner, he asked, "Where''s your wife?"


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    That question amused and annoyed Stanley, for the abrupt call had interrupted his ambiguous


    moment with Sharon, which was hard toe by. "You care about my wife a lot, huh?"


    It was at this moment that Ryan detected the irritation of Stanley, who must have been jealous, so


    he shook his head andughed. "What are you thinking? I have something to discuss with her."


    "What is it?" Stanley''s squinted eyes exuded a dangerous aura. "Is there anything that you can''t let


    me know? I''m her husband."


    "No, I can''t tell you. This matter concerns her, so she will tell you if she would like you to know about


    it."


    Having known this obstinate man for about three years, Stanley understood that he would always


    follow his own principles. As his eyebrows knitted together, he held the phone with his slender


    fingers and silently walked into the bedroom.


    Alerted by his footsteps, Sharon, who was still ruminating on what had just happened, immediately


    yelled at him, "You can''t force me to do something against my will!"


    It was clear that she did not want to sleep with him tonight.


    Standing by the bed, he narrowed his eyes and looked at her with his dark expression, which


    conveyed his displeasure in a voiceless way.


    Flustered, she got up from the bed and stood akimbo. Her tone was imposing as she asked, "Did


    you not hear what I have just said?"


    After staring at her for a while, he said with a grin, "Alright, I''ll listen to you."


    His smile was somewhat dazzling under the warm light, which made his facial features deep and


    charming. As she observed his eyes that were glittering with mysterious emotions, her heart could


    not help but skip a beat. The previously domineering aura thus receded from her, who fell into


    silence.


    It was until he shoved the phone into her hand that she came to her senses. With a doubting


    expression, she stared at him and asked, "Why..."


    "It''s Ryan. He wants to talk to you."


    "OK." Sharon nodded and answered the phone. "Hello."


    Then, he walked toward the bay window, where he saw the two children''s toys. Leaning on the wall,


    he looked at his wife who was talking on the phone with his squinted eyes. By observing her


    expression, he hoped to decipher the content of the call.


    He did not know what Ryan had been discussing with her, for she was first stunned before she


    frowned and appeared hesitant.


    She even raised her head and looked at him.


    In response, his eyebrows twitched, and his expression became more unfathomable.


    Upon taking a deep breath, she finally nodded and uttered, "Well, send it to me. Thank you. Okay,


    bye." Stanley could only hear thosest few sentences clearly.


    After she hung up the phone, she found that he was behind her and red at her with his cial


    eyes in a formidable manner, which made her very uneasy.


    He was vexed by the fact that he didn''t know what Ryan had told her, for it seemed that she was


    keeping something from him.


    Therefore, he did not speak and waited for her to exin everything to him.


    Soon, she retracted her gaze and started to check his phone. "Hey, do you use WhatsApp? Ryan


    has sent Isai''s vi address to you through WhatsApp so that you will know the precise location."


    Since she was not answering his question and was trying to change the topic, Stanley''s eyebrows


    furrowed deeper as he snatched the phone from her. He then raised her chin and glowered at her


    with his eagle-like eyes. "Are you sure you don''t want to let me know what he told you?"


    His movement was so swift that she was startled and could not process what had just happened.


    Sharon''s choice of not revealing any information irked Stanley, who put his hand down and pinched


    her plump cheeks. "Why did Ryan call you in the middle of the night?"


    Only then did she understand his worry. Uponing to her senses, sheughingly said, "I guess


    you are just jealous. I even thought that I have offended you... Alright, don''t stare at me like this. I''ll


    tell you."


    "Spit it out!"


    "OK. Let''s wait for the message."


    "What?"


    Pointing at his WhatsApp, she exined, "Ryan has a video clip about me, and he called me to ask


    whether he could send it to you. Because my phone was robbed by Isai''s bodyguards, he can only


    send the video recording to you now."


    Stanley was stunned by the revtion, which seemed much simpler than what he had imagined.


    When he was thinking about it, his cellphone rang as the video was received.


    Just as she was about to extend her hand, he had grabbed the phone and tapped open the video.


    In an instant, the screen was shown clearly before Stanley''s eyes.


    It was the image of Isai holding a gun against Sharon''s head.


    When she secretly moved her eyeballs to the side, she saw that Stanley''s body instantly stiffened.


    As his expression gradually became darker, the boiling anger caused his muscles to tense up.


    Shocked, she immediately reached out his hand to console him, "Don''t be like this. If I had known


    earlier, I wouldn''t have let Ryan send you that. You get angry as expected..."


    Stanley was not just infuriated, but also harbored a murderous intent.


    In the video, Sharon was pressed against the wall, and an ice-cold gun was pointed at the back of


    her head. While her small face was pale, the tightly shut eyshes were fluttering in fright. Tears


    also fell from her eyes, which caused Stanley''s heart to throb in agony.


    Never had she been treated like this, so how could Isai take such a drastic measure...


    As Stanley breathed deeply, he suppressed the anger in his heart and threw the phone aside, after


    which he hugged Sharon and turned over onto the bed with her.


    Having mistaken his intention, she was so scared that she had her heart in her mouth. However, to


    her surprise, he just hugged her tightly and exhaled his warm breath by her ear. "Let''s sleep now.


    It''s been a long day."


    As he reached out to turn off the light, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead.


    Seeing that he did not do anything untoward, she smiled faintly and drifted off to sleep.
