After Sharon had finished speaking, Stanley's expression changed. "Did you run into Shawn? Did he do anything to you?"
Was that why she came to him with such a pale face? Was it because she had a conflict with Shawn?
"What did he do to you?" Stanley's temple twitched, and he looked very unpleasant.
Again, Sharon did not expect such a big reaction from him. Blinking her eyes, she said after a while, "He did not do anything to me. He just told me something."
"What did he say?"
"He said that you married me with a purpose. It was because of my father." Sharon held his arm and stared at him for a moment. "I don't believe it! I don't believe what he said at all. So I came here to seek confirmation. But I was afraid that it would hurt you. So I dare not ask."
Stanley froze as he stared at her.
Seeing that Stanley had not spoken, Sharon started to panic. "You... What's wrong?"
Ina place hidden from her sight, Stanley tightly clenched his hands into fists. His emotion was like a rollercoaster, but his expression remained calm. "Do you believe Shawn's words?"
Shaking her head. "I don't."
"Um." Stanley hugged her. "It's great that you don't believe it."
With much caution, Sharon asked, "You mean that our marriage had nothing to do with my father, right?"
Smiling faintly, Stanley nodded. "That's right."
Hearing that, Sharon felt completely at ease. "I knew it. I knew I was right..."
Stanley raised his hand and rubbed her head. "Don't overthink it."
"Alright." Sharon nodded.
"Sharon, promise me. Never to see Shawn again. Even if he wants to see you, just don't."
If it was in the past, Sharon would not have agreed with his words. However, after what happened in the morning, with Shawn forcefully pulling her to get an abortion...
This was more than what she could withstand.
Shawn was too dangerous. The less she interacted with him, the better.
So... "Don't worry, I won't see him until this baby is born!"
Stanley's expression seemed to be relieved. "Good girl."
The worries in Sharon's heart were all relieved as she nestled in his arms. She looked relaxed, and her mood was pleasant. She was happy.
Right now, she had to trust him completely. No matter what he said, she would believe him unconditionally.
In the conference room.
Pushing open the door, Stanley strode in. With a cold expression, he commanded, "Close the door!"
Immediately, Anthony closed it.
Stanley's expression was cold as he paced back and forth in the conference room. His brows showed impatience, and anger was emanating from his bones. He violently pulled off his tie, and his chest was heaving. Obviously, he was furious.
Seeing that, Anthony stood in the corner with fear, not knowing what had happened.
Finally, Stanley could not bear it anymore. All of a sudden, he kicked over the chair, and it made a loud noise. Anthony had never seen Stanley so angry, so he was shocked.
"What's the situation with Shawn Lewis in Beachmarsh City? You need to collect some information. Also, give him a call and tell him that I want to invite him for dinner."
Coming back to his senses, Anthony nodded immediately. "Yes!"
After listening to what Sharon said, Stanley could not stay calm. He was unsure how Shawn knew about his purpose in marrying Sharon. Exactly how much did he know?
No matter how much he knew, he could not allow Shawn to tell Sharon about this matter.
Never would Stanley let Sharon know about the real reason he married her. He was to keep this secret forever!
As Sharon's relationship with her father was too deep. When they were in the office, she talked about the past she shared with her father as she lay on Stanley. From that moment, Stanley knew that if Sharon found out the truth that he had married her with a purpose, she would definitely not forgive him!
No matter how much she loved him, she would never forgive him when it came to her father!
That was Sharon's bottom line!
