Chapter 759


    The next morning.


    Howard couldn''t sleep at all. When he woke up, he looked into the mirror and saw his dull face.


    Hastily, he washed his face with cold water to refresh himself before he went out for breakfast,


    which was provided by the hotel.


    As he ate, he called Stanley, to which he picked up immediately, "Yes? Anything?"


    "It''s gettingte. Come down and have breakfast." After a pause, he added, "Take ine with you."


    Stanley muttered ''got it'' and hung up the phone.


    Then, Howard waited for a while before the family of five finally came to the restaurant.


    Sharon was holding Simon while Stanley was holding the pair of adorable twins.


    Needless to say, it was a head- turning appearance.


    Many people in the restaurant turned to look at them.


    "Oh, this family is so lovely."


    "They are all so good-looking!" "Look at the kids! They are so adorable, especially the boy. Look at


    him holding his sister''s hand and protecting her. Aw, they are so cute..."


    When they came to Howard''s table, Stanley asked for a baby chair and put Simon in it. Then, he


    heard Howard''s resentful whine, "It''s just breakfast. Can you keep a low profile?"


    As Stanley prepared utensils for Sharon and the children, he teased without looking at Howard,


    "What''s with the tone? Are you jealous that we steal your limelight, Dr. Perkins?"


    Sharon giggled.


    Earlier, she also noticed how people were looking at them. Every time she brought her children out,


    it would always attract others'' attention.


    It wasn''t that they wanted to attract attention on purpose, but whenever Stanley was around, he


    would attract unwanted attention from thedies.


    The children were adding on the attention factor. Over time, she started to get used to it.


    Ignoring Stanley, Howard pinched Simon''s face and casually asked, "Where''s ine? Why hasn''t


    shee down yet?"


    After he said this, he looked at Stanley, to which he gestured him to look at Sharon.


    Curious, Howard turned to look at Sharon.


    Taking a sip of milk, Sharon said slowly, "Oh,


    ine." "Yes. Well?"

    "Uh, she''s not here anymore."


    "What?" Howard was taken aback.


    Sharon acted as if she was more surprised than him. "You don''t know? She went back early this


    morning. I thought she told you before she left."


    Upon hearing that, Howard red at Sharon, grimacing in great dismay.


    She did it on purpose!


    She must be!


    If ine had left early in the morning, she might not tell him but she would definitely have told her!


    Yet, here she was, putting on an act in front of him.


    Furiously, Howard mmed his spoon onto the table so hard that he startled Seamus and Sadie.


    Sadie blinked in surprise and asked, "Uncle Howard, are you okay?"


    Displeased by his action, Stanley furrowed slightly and red at him. "Hey, what''s with the attitude?


    Calm the hell down!"


    Howard didn''t dare to get mad at Sharon in front of Stanley, so he took a deep breath to calm


    himself down before saying, "I''m okay, Sadie darling. Hurry, have your breakfast."


    With that, Sadie hummed an ''oh'' and started eating, but she kept looking at the adults with her big


    dark eyes.


    Looking at Howard''s depressed expression, Sharon sighed, "She went back with Ariah. Lacie was


    not feeling well, so Jimmy wanted to leave, and she asked them for a ride to town. I couldn''t stop


    her, so I let her go with them."


    Losing his appetite entirely, Howard pushed his chair and stood up. "I''ll make a call. You guys go


    ahead."


    Was he really going to make a phone call?


    As she looked at Howard''s back, Sharon smirked...


    In the hospital.


    Jimmy brought Lacie for a checkup, and Ariah waited outside with ine.


    ncing at ine''s unhappy face, Ariah uttered, trying to get her to talk, "Where are you going


    later?"


    ine was in a daze.


    Muddled, she didn''t know where she should go. After what happenedst night, it would be


    awkward if she returned to Howard''s house.


    But she didn''t have other ces to go now.


    She had been living in the house when she worked as Howard''s maid. It was the only ce she


    could stay in this city.


    Just as she was in a dilemma, Ariah started again, "D-Do you still want to work for Howard?"


    Her question confused ine. "Why?"


    "Sharon just texted me. She said that if you don''t want to work for Howard anymore, you can go to


    her house."


    ine was moved. "Please thank Sharon on my behalf, but I don''t n to resign for now."


    In fact, she wouldn''t mind working for Howard if he hadn''t done those things to her.


    Unlike her other fussy employers who would criticize her work, Howard was always very nice to her.


    Furthermore, his request was very simple and straightforward, which was to keep the house tidy


    and cooked for him.


    If possible, she had always been willing to work for him.


    However...


    Silently, she lowered her eyes and thought, upset, "Why would he like me?"


    She was not good enough for him...


    On the other hand, after a one- day trip to the countryside, Stanley and his family decided to return.


    Howard also got in the car. When he was about to leave, someone knocked on the window. He


    wound it down and saw Sharon. "Howard, do you have a minute?"


    Leaning back in his seat, Howard huffedzily, "Go on."


    "I want to talk to you about ine."


    "Are you trying to nag me again? Sharon, do you know that I''m older than you? I wouldn''t even bat


    an eye on you if you hadn''t married Stanley. Stop with your nagging! I''ve had enough!"


    Sharon rolled her eyes at him in annoyance. "Yeah right. Do you think I want to nag you? It''s


    because you''ve done those horrible things!"


    Howard pursed his lips.


    "I want to tell you that if ine decides to resign, let here to work at my ce."


    Hearing this, Howard growled in frustration, "Why does she want to work for you? So that she can


    work round the clock taking care of your kids? She won''t go! Don''t even think about it!"


    Putting her hands on her waist furiously, Sharon red at him and snapped, "And you think working


    for you is easy? She has to suffer the torment you give her after she finishes her work! I think for


    her, your house is a living hell!"


    Howard red back at her.


    No one wanted to back down.


    It wasn''t until Stanley came over and nced at Howard coldly. "That''s enough. Get the hell out of


    here."


    Huffing in dismay, Howard drove off.


    As he watched him leave, Stanley turned to Sharon and reprimanded, "I think you''ll fight all day long


    if I don''te to stop you."


    Wrapping her arms around his lovingly, Sharon whispered, "Alright, it''s my fault. I''m sorry, honey."


    What else could he say?


    He was powerless against her.
