Sharon shook her head. "No, I don't know."
"Then why are you..."
"Why am I so calm?"
Shawn pursed his lips and frowned slightly.
Yes, this was what he wanted to ask.
He knew Sharon too well. She couldn't allow herself to be cheated and betrayed.
Sharon shrugged and looked indifferent. "It's just a fling. I can understand."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shawn's expression suddenly darkened and his eyes were gloomy. "Aren't you afraid that the fling will become a real thing? That woman is his first love. What's the first love in a man's heart? It's something that can't be erased! Aren't you afraid that the two of them will do something behind your back?"
Sharon still smiled and said, "I believe in Stanley. He won't do that to me."
"Sharon, you..."
"Well, if you come to me today because you want to show me photos of Stanley and Rebecca, then you don't have to, because I already know about these," Sharon said.
She then got up and wanted to go out.
Shawn pulled her wrist tightly, pressed her against the wall and shouted, "Don't go!"
Sharon struggled. "Shawn, let me go!"
Shawn remained unmoved. "You're not the only one in Stanley's heart. He has his first love, but you're the only one in my heart. Why did you choose to be with him? Isn't it better for you to be with me?"
His breath slowly approached, with a burning intensity. Sharon looked at him with her dark eyes. "Brother."
Shawn was stunned by the word. He stared at her in disbelief. "What did you call me?"
"Brother," Sharon called again. "At that time, my dad's intention was to adopt you as his adopted son. What should I call you other than Brother?"
God d*mnit!
Shawn's chest heaved violently, and his emotions were surging. The word 'brother' had distanced them by thousands of miles apart.
"I like you back then. That I admit. If you didn't leave, maybe we would still be together now." Sharon raised her hand and touched his arm. "But now I am Stanley's wife. The relationship between us is over."
After that, she pushed him away with force.
Shawn's body shook as if he was trembling. "Back then, l-l had no choice. I had to leave..."
Sharon nodded. "I understand it now. You were right to leave that time. You have to leave for your family, and I can understand that. If I were you, I would choose to leave too."
Sharon hated him before and blamed him for leaving without saying a word, but after learning the truth, she didn't blame him anymore.
It proved that there was no fate between them.
"What happened back then is our very beautiful memory. I want to keep it for a long time, but I don't want it to continue." Sharon stood up straight. "I met you at the wrong time and met Stanley at the right time. Brother, this is fate. Let's... move on, okay?"
Move on?
Shawn suddenly raised his eyes, and his pupils contracted. There was a violent emotion surging in his dark eyes, and a sharp curl appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I don't believe in fate! The wrong time, the right time! I don't believe that either! I, Shawn Lewis, will get what I want, even if they are at the end of the world!"
Shawn walked toward her step by step, and his whole body was full of piercingly cold momentum.
Sharon was stunned for a moment and subconsciously stepped back.
Behind her was the wall, and there was no way for her to retreat.
Shawn approached her and stretched out his hand to trap her in his embrace. He lowered his head with fire in his eyes, almost swallowing everything.
"Sharon, you can only be mine in this life!"
Shawn forced her face upward and lowered his head regardless of her struggle.
"Let her go!"
With a loud bang, the door of the room was kicked open, and the cold male voice resonated followed by the fist.
