Chapter 589
Sharon was as quiet as a church mouse on their way home.
With Stanley behind the wheels, Sharon sat in the front passenger seat while the children sat in
their respective kids'' chairs in the back seat.
Since they left the hospital, Sharon was unusually reticent.
Stanley put his attention on the road quietly, yet his nce darkened.
It was not until he drove into the underground garage that Sharon came back to her senses and
turned to check the children. They were so exhausted from ying in the hospital that they had
fallen asleep.
As she looked at their angelic faces, her lips curved into a gentle smile.
For the sake of her children, she would make sure to live well and protect herself from harm.
Despite the momentary tranquility, Sharon was not able to ignore the prating gazeing from
the side, so she looked away from the children and turned to Stanley. "What''s wrong with you?"
His gaze grew deeper. "What''s wrong with YOU?"
Sharon blinked in surprise as he repeated her question. Was it really that obvious?
She was indeed in a daze after her conversation with Ariah in the hospital. Never did she expect
that treating her would mean wiping Shawn''s memory off her mind.
Because of this, her mind had been upied with what Ariah said in the hospital just now.
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
That was probably how Stanley noticing something was off.
However, she didn''t know what to say to him since she hadn''t made up her mind yet, so she only
looked away. "Nothing. Let''s go in."
Then, she got off the car and carried Sadie out of it.
Holding Seamus in his arms, Stanley followed closely behind and fixed his gaze on Sharon the
entire time.
Was she still up in arms about what happened in the hospital?
That d*mned Ariah! Why did she have to say that Sharon was fat?
Appearance was the most important thing to a woman in the world. Recently, Sharon had been
trying to find a job, but Stanley managed to dismiss her using all kinds of excuses. Nevertheless,
her desire to work would probably increase after listening to Ariah today.
Stanley pursed his lips in dismay, feeling a headacheing.
Walking in front, Sharon suddenly stopped, turned around, and nced behind Stanley. In an
instant, she glimpsed a figure shing past at the corner of the street.
She was startled by the sight.
Raising his eyebrows skeptically, Stanley asked, "What''s wrong?"
Sharon licked her lips. "I think I saw someone following us..."
Hearing that, Stanley swiftly turned his head, his gaze as sharp as an eagle''s.
The empty parking lot was quiet, and there was no one there.
Immediately, Stanley went over to check, but he didn''t see anyone.
Confused, Sharon mumbled, "Maybe I was wrong. It''s dark there. I probably saw a shadow of a tree
or something..."
Stanley gave a nonchnt hum. At the moment, all he thought about was how to persuade Sharon
to stay at home instead of going to work, so he didn''t take the matter seriously.
When Sharon was bathing, she thought about Ariah''s suggestion over and over. If she agreed to the
treatment, it would mean that she had to forget about Shawn.
Despite the most painful despair Shawn had given her, he had also given her the best years of her
life.
He was an indomitable young man when he first came to the town. Their rtionship was so pure
and beautiful at that time.
Erasing her memory would mean getting rid of all the memory of her youth.
What should she do?
She bent down and hugged herself.
Sitting on the sofa, Stanley checked his watch and frowned.
Sharon had been in the bathroom for more than half an hour, which was very unusual, as she never
took that long to shower.
She was angry, wasn''t she?
This was what she would always do when she was angry. She would avoid seeing him, talking to
him, and giving him the cold shoulder.
Sighing while massaging his forehead, Stanley stood up and knocked on the bathroom door.
Unexpectedly, the door opened at the same time.
Sharon came out and went straight into the bedroom without even sparing him a nce.
Her reaction meant that she would be mad for a while longer, and it made Stanley furrow even
more.
After changing into her pajamas, Sharon climbed straight to bed. Then, she took out her phone and
texted Ariah as something crossed her mind.
"Ariah, is there any other way except the treatment you mentioned?"
In fact, Ariah should have told her if there was.
The reason why she didn''t tell her was that this was probably the only way.
It was not because she was reluctant to forget Shawn, but simply because she couldn''t bear losing
the lovely memory from her youth days—the best moments that Shawn had given her.
Yet, she didn''t receive Ariah''s reply.
Ariah was probably busy taking care of Jimmy in the hospital, which exined why she missed her
message.
With that, Sharon was ready to go to bed when she felt the bed moving slightly, and she got a whiff
of the fragrance of shower gel and manly scent.
A pair of strong and buffy arms wrapped around her waist tightly and pulled her.
Her back suddenly felt warm when she leaned against Stanley''s firm chest.
His low and deep voice echoed into her ears, "I won''t stop you if you want to work, so don''t be
angry with me, okay?"
Sharon was puzzled. What was he talking about?
"You can start applying for jobs after Christmas. Mostpanies are on a hiring freeze now since
the long holiday is just around the corner, so you won''t be called for interviews anyway."
His remark rocked Sharon''s boat. Stanley had always disagreed with her working, but why the
sudden change of mind? Did he knock himself on the head or something?
On the other hand, Stanley frowned at theck of response. Did hispromise tofort her be
in vain?
Agitated, he forcefully pulled her around and pressed her under him, staring at her with his dark
gaze. "Are you still angry?"
Sharon was in a daze for a while and suddenly grinned from ear to ear. "Are you really letting me
work?"
"No."
"But..." "But you''re upset, so I agree to let you work."
Overjoyed by his change of mind, Sharon wrapped her arms around him gleefully and kissed him.
"Thank you, Honey."
Stanley smirked. "So you''re not angry now?"
"Why do you keep asking me if I''m angry? Why would I be angry?" Sharon frowned.
"Are you not? You didn''t talk to me much from the hospital till we got home."
Sharon''s eyes widened in surprise, and then she burst outughing. Sheughed so much that she
was in tears.
Did hepromise because he thought she had been mad since they were in the hospital? Was
that why he wasforting her now?
"Haha!"
Sharon covered her stomach whileughing.
From a helpless gaze, Stanley''s eyes gradually turned sharp and cold as he looked at her.
"Alright. I''ll stop now..." Sharon held back herughter.
Stanley pinched her chin and red at her. "Tell me, why are youughing?"
"Because I''m not angry, but you think that I am."
"Then why didn''t you talk to me all the way?"
"Because I have something on my mind."
"What is it?"
"Something Ariah told me..."
Before she could finish, she came to her senses and stopped. She had yet to decide on Ariah''s
treatment, so she didn''t know how to exin it to Stanley.
As a result, it was best to leave him out of it for the time being.
"Nothing. I''m so sleepy. Come on. Let''s sleep."
Sharon nudged Stanley away and rolled over to sleep.
However, a strong force restricted her movement, and she was pulled toward him, his hot and
elerating breath spraying her ear.
Trembled, she stammered, "Hey, Stanley, what are you..."
"Stay still."
He sounded hoarse and seductive while his hands exploring her body.
In the hospital.
After sending off Sharon and her family, Ariah returned to the ward to see that Jimmy had his gaze
locked on her like an eagle watching its prey.
Wherever she went, he would look at her.
Ariah threw away the book in her hand and red at him. "What are you looking at?"
