Stanley stopped and turned to look at her. His anger was still surging inside him.
When he thought about the time she spent alone with Liam that he knew nothing about it, he was extremely furious.
"If you can go to meet Liam, I can meet Jewel."
After saying this indifferently, Stanley turned around and walked out.
Sharon was sitting in a daze.
What did he say?
He was going to meet Jewel?
He was actually going to meet another woman at such a late hour?
B*stard!
Sharon understood what he meant. He was sulking!
She met Liam, so he deliberately provoked her by mentioning Jewel!
Why was he so bad? How could he say such harsh words!
Sharon put her hand on her chest, feeling the stuffy heart beating and the difficulty of breathing.
She was huffing and puffing when she heard the ignition sound of the car engine downstairs and the car drove off.
Fool!
"Come back!" she shrieked inwardly.
She could explain. She didn't go to Liam on purpose...
Why didn't he trust her?
Her eyes were red with tears. She reached out to pick up her clothes and put them on.
The phone that was thrown on the bed suddenly rang. Sharon looked down and found that the caller ID was Anthony.
She was not in the mood to answer the phone, feeling the pain in her chest.
But the phone kept ringing. Finally, she picked it up and said in a very hoarse voice, "Hello..."
"Madam, have you gone back?"
Anthony's voice came from the phone.
Sharon said in a low voice, "Yes."
Anthony breathed a sigh of relief and didn't notice anything strange about her.
"Good to know. Thank goodness that you're back. Boss has been looking for you for the whole afternoon. He was very worried about you and afraid that something bad would happen to you."
"I... I'm fine." Sharon buried her face in her knee.
"That's good to hear."
Anthony paused for a moment, then said with a smile, "Too bad, your dinner with Boss tonight is going to waste."
Dinner?
Sharon thought sullenly. Suddenly, she remembered that when she was in the hospital ward, Stanley called and said that he wanted to take her out for dinner. At that time, Sharon was pestered by Shawn, so she didn't have the mood to think about dinner.
"Madam, to tell you the truth, Boss personally reserved a table at the restaurant. It was very difficult to get a reservation. The owner of the restaurant agreed to add a table for Boss after Boss offered a sky-high price."
It was a pity that he didn't find Sharon when he went to the hospital.
"And those red roses in Boss' car? I bought them. At first, he didn't know what to buy for you and secretly went online to check. I found out about it later because he didn't exit his browser."
Anthony couldn't help but chuckle in amusement. "Madam, don't you think it's funny? Boss is always so stem and serious, but he is quite romantic."
Sharon sat there in a daze, her eyes full of disbelief.
She wondered why he would suddenly invite her to dinner. It turned out that he was going to give her a surprise.
But in the end, she didn't go, and all the surprises he prepared had gone to wreck.
Was he disappointed? Did he feel beaten that she ruined the dinner that he had made great efforts to prepare?
Had he been worried all the time while she was disappeared for a few hours?
Sharon bit her lip tightly, tears falling down. She didn't expect that he would do so many things alone.
She was moved.
Her heart was beating violently. Regardless of anything else, Sharon threw the phone away, jumped off the bed with bare feet, and ran downstairs.
She wanted to see him!
She didn't want him to go to Jewel!
She wanted him back!
She could also explain what happened at Liam's place during the day.
She would try her best to convince him that nothing had happened between her and Liam.
She would listen to him and never contact Liam again.
If he wanted to know about Shawn, she would tell him.
She could tell him everything as long as he didn't go to Jewel!
He was hers, and he couldn't go to see anyone else!
However, when she ran downstairs, the car had already gone far away. Sharon stood in the darkness and watched the car getting farther and farther away.
Sharon felt as if an invisible hand was grabbing her heart, making her unable to breathe.
But there was a voice in her heart that kept telling her, "Don't let him go, don't let him go..." Sharon, who was in a daze, began to run. She chased after his car and ran into the darkness without hesitation.
She hoped that he would see her and then stop.
But he didn't see. The car drove farther and farther away, and eventually gradually disappeared from her sight.
"Stanley, stop!"
She shouted loudly, but it was of no use.
She didn't know how long and how far she had run. When she stopped, she felt as if her body hollowed out. She didn't know what she was stepping on that seemed to make her feet bleed, but she didn't feel any pain and walked ahead like a puppet.
She didn't know how long she had been walking, nor did she know where Stanley had gone.
She just wanted to find him and then take him home so that he would not go to Jewel!
She was like a little deer lost in the forest, with several pairs of beasty eyes with evil intentions staring at her.
