There were people whispering and gossiping behind Sharon, but she just pretended that she didn't see them.
Anger rose in Stanley's heart as he looked on. He pushed the door open and hurried over to Sharon.
Meanwhile, Sharon cursed while walking. She cursed the selfish, petty- minded, and snappish man. It was not even her fault, but he literally left her in rage.
B*stard!
"Hiss..."
She stepped on another pebble that made her face twist in an agonizing grimace.
Some bystanders were laughing at her. They must have taken her as a lunatic.
Sharon rolled her eyes at the bystander. Just as she was about to go on, her body suddenly rose into the air.
"Ah!" she cried out in surprise and hugged the person subconsciously.
When she looked up, her eyes widened in bewilderment.
Stanley? Why was he here?
Didn't he leave?
Why did he come back?
Sharon looked up at him in a daze.
She stared at his chin, which was a perfect and smooth curve, emphasizing the firm yet gentle jawlines.
Sharon was still in shock when he suddenly put her down on the roadside bench.
He stood in front of her, blocking all the sunshine and letting her sit under the shadow.
Sharon looked up and saw Stanley lowering his head. Since his back was facing the sun, she could not see his face but only large circles of lights surrounding him as if his shoulder was covered with a layer of golden halos.
Sharon squinted her eyes due to the dazzling light. After a long time, she asked, "Why did you come back?"
Stanley looked at the woman in front of him and pursed his lips. After a while, he said, "Sit still."
Then he turned around.
Sharon stared at his back and did not know what he was going to do.
Initially, she thought that he had left in a rage, but she didn't expect that he would return.
Why did he come back? Was he worried about her? Or was he afraid that she couldn't go back by herself?
Before she could think further into it, the sound of footsteps resonated again. He was walking towards her.
Sharon looked up and her mouth agape in awe when she saw the thing in Stanley's hand.
Was that the shoes she threw away?
She was right. He was taking the high heels she threw at him when she lost her temper just now.
Why did he pick them up?
Stanley stood in front of her. When she opened her mouth and was about to speak, the tall man suddenly squatted down.
Sharon's eyes widened in horror.
She was so bewildered by his gesture that she shrank involuntarily.
Stanley gripped her ankle tightly with his big hand. She wiggled reflexively that made Stanley exert a bit more force in his hand and said in his deep and mellow voice, "Don't move!"
Sharon looked at him in a daze, watching him lift her foot onto his knee regardless of the dirtiness. He swept away the dirt on her feet and put the shoe on it.
The tall and handsome man was kneeling on one knee in front of the beautiful and disheveled woman. The picture was so beautiful that it was like a painting.
It was also like the romantic scene in the movie.
The bystanders whispered, "He's so handsome. Is he a celebrity?"
"He won't propose to her right there, will he?"
"This is such an eyesore. We're all at the hospital, but why do I have to be warded but there they are, displaying affection..."
Sharon listened to the whispering, flabbergasted.
Her heart was beating faster, and her palms started to sweat.
