The movement of buttoning up his shirt slowed down. Stanley turned around to look at her. "Did you hear everything?"
Sharon nodded.
"The call from Rebecca last night, she was probably asking me for help," he said slowly.
Stunned for a moment, Sharon then let out a bitter laugh and said, "You're blaming me for taking away your phone, and preventing you from saving Rebecca."
"I didn't say that." Stanley frowned. "Don't let your imagination run wild."
"Then don't go!"
Taking a big step forward, Sharon raised her head and stared straight at him. "Rebecca should have nothing to do with you. The business between the two of you was already in the past, that was what you said yourself!"
"Sharon..."
"Don't go!" Sharon grabbed his hand tightly. "Right now, I'm your wife. You should be by my side, instead of going to find your first love!" "She may be in danger." "Then call the police. We could also ask Jimmy." Sharon was not giving in. "Her disappearance has nothing to do with you. You don't need to take responsibility. Don't go looking for her!"
Pulling out his arm, Stanley held her face with both hands and stared straight into her eyes. "I have to. She's not a stranger. I know that I have no responsibility for her disappearance, but I can't just do nothing!"
Refusing to listen, Sharon was so stubborn that she did not want to let him go. "Does she have to find you whenever something happens to her? Whether she's missing or in trouble, you'll be there to help. Next time, you'll even leave me alone for just a small matter?" Sharon held his hand tightly and did not let go. "Stanley, don't go looking for her. Let's call the police and let them take care of this matter!"
With his brows furrowed, Stanley then raised a hand to touch her cheek. "Be good."
"I don't want to!" Sharon shook her head. "No! Don't go find her!"
"I'm just going over to take a look, and then I'll be back." Stanley tried to withdraw his hand. "I'll be back at night. It's not like I'll be gone forever. Don't be like this, okay?"
As the last word fell, he pulled out his hand.
Sharon's face was ashen. "You're really leaving?"
Nodding, Stanley said, "I have to."
Even if he wanted to call the police, Stanley had to appear on the scene. In addition, there was also a surveillance camera in the room. Checking the surveillance would make everything clear.
Again, Sharon stared straight into his eyes and asked word by word, "What if I say I won't let you go?"
"Sharon, be good."
"Answer me. If I don't let you go, aren't you still leaving?" There was no expression on Sharon's face. "As your wife, I'm asking you to stay. So, are you going to leave or not?"
Pressing the space between his brows, Stanley coaxed, "Don't be unreasonable. I'll be right back. I promise you, I'll definitely come back at 10 p.m. to be by your side, okay?"
Being unreasonable?
For just wanting him to stay behind. How could he think that she was being unreasonable?
A bitter smile spread from the corner of her mouth. She lowered her eyelashes in disappointment and said in a light voice, "After all, in your heart, Rebecca is more important."
After that, the bedroom was quiet, it was dead silent.
Scared to raise her head, Sharon did not dare to look at him.
Afraid that she might be right, Sharon did not dare to face it.
At the same time, she was sure that she was already so madly in love with him.
Turning around, Sharon did not want to see him leave, so she left beforehand.
"I have no feelings for her, and now..."
A deep voice of a man rang out from behind her as it flows with the wind, and blew into her ears. "The one I love is you."
Stopping her steps, her blood froze, and her whole body was as stiff as a stone. It seemed that even her breath was stagnant.
Sharon's eyes popped, and her long eyelashes tremble violently.
What... Did he just say?
