Stanley massaged his eyebrows and continued, "Actually, there is nothing to talk about between her and me. I have been with her since I sent her to the hospital that day. Then, I started working and rarely had time to go home. I rarely met her, and we didn't even go out on a date at all. I almost never visited a shopping mall with her like you. We never even watched a movie together before."
Sharon said, "Then Rebecca is quite pitiful. She didn't have much to enjoy from the relationship with you."
Stanley was startled. He had never thought about this question before, but now Sharon's simple remarks made him realize it.
Indeed, Rebecca didn't enjoy anything out of the relationship when she was with him.
Sharon stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes. "Hey, why are you in a daze..."
Stanley came to his senses and shook his head. "Nothing."
Sharon leaned her little head against his shoulder and said, "Then go on."
Stanley glanced at the little woman beside him and narrowed his eyes. "Why do I have a feeling that you're watching a drama eight now?"
Sharon patted her chest and promised, "Absolutely not. I'm just curious!"
Stanley squinted at her.
"Go on, go on."
"Now that I think about it, I didn't have a real date with her." Stanley was immersed in his memory. He remembered the days when he was with Rebecca, she was always very respectful and restrained in front of him as if she was afraid that she would piss him off.
"Maybe it was because I was busy with work and have little time to be with her that she gradually got along with Liam." Stanley pursed his lips and his expression gloomed when he thought of the past. "One time, I only had two days off so I went home without telling anyone. I went to her house and found her with Liam."
Stanley said lightly, "They were on the bed. With one look, I can what's going on."
Stanley thought of what happened that day. He calmly saw everything and then calmly said to the panicked Rebecca, "Put on your clothes and come out to explain all this to me."
He thought he would be angry, but he didn't expect that he could solve these problems so calmly.
Sharon started to feel anxious. "What happened later?"
"Later? Later Liam told me that he tempted Rebecca on purpose. He exposed his dirty and disgusting side in front of me. He said that he didn't love Rebecca at all. If it weren't for the fact that she had a relationship with me, he wouldn't even look at her. He asked me how I felt when I lost my lover. Was my heart aching?"
Sharon was so agitated that her lungs were going to explode. "How could he be so shameless?"
Stanley didn't expect her reaction to being much greater than him. After a moment of silence, he said, "He joined my family at the age of 10, and he has been fighting with me all the time. I didn't take it to heart, but only after Rebecca's incident did I finally know his true self."
Sharon also came to a sudden realization.
No wonder he was so angry when he saw that she was with Liam in the restaurant. It turned out that Liam had done so many disgusting things!
"Then... how did Rebecca die?'
Sharon pursed her lips and asked tentatively.
Rebecca's issue had always been a thorn in his heart. She was afraid to ask about her, and even if she did ask, she was extra careful and discreet.
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, Stanley's expression changed.
The gloom in his expression was mixed with rage. He looked rather scary when his facial feature became sharp.
Sharon immediately hugged him tightly and said, "If you don't want to say it, I'll stop asking."
Stanley's body stiffened. After a while, he pulled her into his embrace and held her in one hand. "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but it was too dirty and I don't want you to know."
"I'm not afraid. I want to know." She wanted to know everything about him. She wanted to get to know him.
