"What are you doing?" Sharon moved back and stared at Stanley who was approaching her slowly. "Don't come over. Do you hear me? I'll kick you!"
Stanley was like a dangerous cheetah as he slowly approached her as if he was inching closer to his prey.
Sensing that something bad was going to happen, Sharon got up and was about to run away.
Stanley pressed on her immediately
She couldn't move at once as he pressed her down on the sofa.
"I dare you to repeat what you just said." He stared at her with burning eyes.
Sharon trembled timidly. She could not remember what she had said. "D- Did I say anything wrong?"
She simply said that she was spending a night outside, didn't she?
Her sin was compounded as she failed to realize her mistake after committing it, and Stanley decided that her crime was punishable by a kiss on her lips.
Sharon blushed and stared straight at him. Stanley reached out and pinched her fleshy cheek. "Why are you staring at me?"
Couldn't she just close her eyes?
Sharon looked shy and embarrassed. "What do you want to do?"
"What do you think?"
"Stop. Don't do it."
She stretched out her hand to push him, while Stanley held her small hand in front of his chest with a fiery look in his eyes.
Sharon saw that he was serious and couldn't run away, so she became anxious again. She opened her mouth in panic and shouted, "Help!"
Stanley looked askance at her.
Hearing the commotion in the kitchen, Hazel was busy with the stew that she had no time to come out, so she shouted without looking back, "Stop quarreling. Dinner will be ready soon."
Worked up, Sharon shouted again, "Hazel, help me!"
Hazel favored Sharon more, so she said, "Mister, don't bully Madam please."
Stanley was rendered speechless.
Seeing that this move was effective, Sharon shouted even more enthusiastically, "Help... Help..."
Stanley's face darkened and thought, "This young lady is really unruly nowadays."
His hands were so large that he could grab her wrists with one hand and tickle her with the other.
Itching, Sharon laughed while trying to avoid the tickling and begging, "Stop... Don't... Haha! Stop! I'm sorry..."
"What are you sorry for?"
"You want to kiss me but I don't let you!"
Stanley lowered his head, biting her mouth and saying, "Do you still want to be so dull-sighted in the future?"
"Of course I won't. Haha, I beg you to let me go..."
When Hazel came out of the kitchen with the stew, she saw the couple who were fighting on the sofa.
Her eyes became wet as she witnessed the scene.
She hadn't seen Stanley so happy for many years. He hadn't had a happy and pleasant life in the past few years but thanks to Sharon, he was able to be happy again.
After wiping her tears, Hazel said, "Alright, enough with your bicker. The food is getting cold. Hurry, come and eat."
Sharon blushed and reached out to push him.
"Get up, Hazel is looking our way."
Stanley glanced at her. He stopped what he was doing and got up from the sofa.
Sharon tidied up her clothes and immediately followed him.
In the dining hall.
Sharon looked at Stanley sitting opposite while drinking soup, thinking that he was very good at pretending as he returned to his gentleman self again.
He was sitting there, well-dressed, elegant, and mild- mannered, looking particularly handsome.
Sharon curled her lip and was about to speak when her cell phone suddenly rang.
She looked at it and found that it was an unknown number but she recognized this string of numbers.
It was Shawn's.
She quickly ended the call as if nothing had happened, but when she looked up and saw Stanley staring at her, her heart jolted in panic.
"Honey, why don't you eat?"
Sharon changed the topic.
"Who called?" Stanley asked.
Her mission of changing the topic failed.
Sharon shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe it's a spam call."
Stanley's eyes were very hot. She didn't dare to look at him and immediately moved her gaze away.
However, her phone rang again despite her effort to ignore it. It kept ringing relentlessly as if it carried some sort of affection with it.
Sharon was on pins and needles.
"Answer it."
Stanley opened his thin lips slightly and said faintly.
Sharon bit her spoon and said, "Hubby..."
"Didn't you hear me?" Stanley looked at her. "Or, you want me to answer it for you?"
Was he kidding?
He would definitely kill her if he answered it!
Sharon immediately reached out her hand and said, "Thanks but no thanks. I'll answer it myself."
As soon as she answered the call, Shawn's voice came from the other end of the line, "Sharon, why didn't you pick up my call just now?"
Before Sharon opened her mouth to speak, Stanley ordered again, "Put on the speaker."
What?
"Put it on!"
Sharon didn't want to, but there was nothing she could do. After hesitating for a while, she gritted her teeth and clicked on the speaker button reluctantly.
"Sharon?"
Shawn couldn't hear her voice, so he called her name anxiously on the phone.
"Sharon, what's wrong with you?"
Stanley's deep gaze made her heart tremble. She immediately said, "l-l'm fine."
"Why did you hang up my phone just now? Is it inconvenient to answer the phone?"
Hearing this, Sharon immediately nodded and said, "Yes, it's inconvenient."
She had thought that Shawn would say, "Then I won't disturb you any further. I'll contact you next time."
However, he did not come to the same realization. After a pause, he said, "Then I think now is a convenient time for you since you have answered my call."
Sharon didn't know what else to say.
She was forced to do so.
Sharon cleared her throat and asked directly, "Why do you call me?"
