On the surface, he said that he wanted a hug, but his big hand that was burning hot with desire was already on her waist. Sharon's face flushed scarlet, and she pushed him away. Breaking free from him, she complained, "Can you take care of your injury properly? Don't think about other things!"
Narrowing his eyes, Stanley said reluctantly, "Do I need to remind you that how long has it been since we last met?"
Ten days! Even if a normal man, who was holding a woman he had feelings for would have some thoughts about it too!
With a cold humph, Sharon sneered, "Ten days. But was it my fault?"
Her question was met with silence.
Looking down, Stanley chuckled. He had dug a hole and buried himself in it.
After all, it was his fault that he had disappeared for ten days. Therefore, no matter what she said, he could not refute.
Leaning against the head of the bed with a hand on his knee, Stanley looked at her lazily and leisurely and then examined her carefully.
He realized that she had lost weight, her waist had become thinner, and her face had become even smaller. She was so petite that it was adorable.
"During this period, you had not eaten properly, had you?"
"What did Rebecca mean before she left?"
The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and were both stunned.
The first person to react was Stanley, as he knew that this smart girl would ask about it.
When Rebecca left, the words she said were too vague. Even normal people would be suspicious when they heard it, not to mention Sharon.
"Why aren't you talking?" Sharon looked at him. "Rebecca said that there are some things that can't be hidden. The more you hide it, the greater the harm. What did she mean by that?"
Hearing that, Stanley's expression did not change, and it was still as indifferent as ever. "Can't you see that she was trying to drive a wedge between us?"
Startled, Sharon repeated," Drive a wedge between us?"
"Yes." Stanley nodded. "She deliberately said those things to make you feel uncomfortable.
If you quarrel with me, her purpose will be achieved, so don't be fooled by her."
Baffled, Sharon quickly came back to her senses. "If you did not explain... I would've really fallen for her tricks. I've been wondering all day if there's anything between you and her that you're trying to hide from me. My thoughts have been running wild since just now. I even asked Brother King whether you guys..."
Talking up to this point, Sharon shut her mouth abruptly.
Oh my god. She almost made a slip.
Narrowing his long eyes. "What did you say to Brother King?"
"N... nothing."
"Give me your phone."
"What for?"
"I'll give Brother King a call, and ask him what did you ask him when you sent him out." With that, he raised his hand and said, "Your phone."
Sharon remained silent.
"Did you hear me? Give me your phone."
"What are you talking about? There's no phone!" Sharon was so angry that she flew into a rage. "Before Rebecca left, didn't she mean something shameful had happened between the two of you when you were abroad?"
Stanley was caught off guard, "What do you mean?"
"Are you still playing dumb? Rebecca, who is a single woman and also your first love, went abroad with you. What do you think would be something shameful?"
After Sharon finished shouting, Stanley understood and his face turned completely black. "You thought that I slept with her?"
Sharon did not answer.
"Am I right?" Seeing that she did not answer, he raised his voice.
With no choice, Sharon reluctantly replied yes.
Hearing that, Stanley's chest heaved, and the temple on his forehead kept twitching. In the end, he could not control his emotions and began to cough roughly.
