A man who was hard at work was the most handsome. This sentence was not wrong after all.
Stanley, who was in the middle of work, looked more attractive than usual. His features were prominent and straight, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. His eyes under the lens were shining with wisdom.
Never had Sharon carefully looked at his features. She realized that not only was this man good looking at first sight, but he was also the type that defined eternal beauty.
Obsessively, Sharon stared at him.
In the end, she did not even care about the book and just laid there staring at him the whole time.
All of a sudden, the hard-working man sighed, and he turned his head to look at her. "If you keep staring at me, how am I supposed to work?"
"Ah?" Sharon did not expect that this would cause him disturbance. "But, I did not make a sound. Don't you worry about me! Just continue working."
Yes, she did not disturb him, but how could he turn a blind eye when she was looking at him lovingly?
When a guy was stared at by his wife, it was impossible that he had no other thoughts. Moreover, he was a guy that had not touched his wife for a long time!
"Sharon, if you keep looking at me like this, I can't guarantee what's next."
Stanley looked at her through his glasses. His eyes under the lens were shinning.
Immediately, Sharon understood what he meant. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she said, "I'll... I'll stop staring then."
This way, he should be able to work in peace.
Truthfully, there was no way Stanley could continue working. His mind was full of Sharon's gaze. Her gaze was full of affection, and her eyes filled were with the bashfulness of a woman.
Also with a bit of admiration.
At his age, he had experienced many levels of worship from both men and women, as well as the subordinates who worked under him in the army. They all respectfully looked at him as if he was a myth.
However, he did not care about them. What he cared about was Sharon's gaze. The way she looked at him with worship caused ripples in his heart and made him proud. There was an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
"What are you smiling at?"
Sharon's voice pulled back from his thoughts. Stanley glanced at her, pushed the glasses on his nose, and smirked. "I was wondering when you will obediently go back to sleep."
With that, Sharon looked at the time. "It's still early. I'll go to sleep at 11 o'clock."
After a pause, she was still afraid that he might stay up late. "Stanley, please try not to stay up all night and have an early rest. If you can't finish it by today, you can continue tomorrow."
Taking off his glasses, Stanley rubbed his temples. Then, he shook his head and said, "I need to get the plans for the second half of the year done so that I'll have more free time then."
"Uh, why are you in such a hurry? Is there anything happening in the second half of the year?"
"Now that you are pregnant, it's currently convenient for you to get up and down the stairs alone. But when your tummy gets bigger, it'll be hard for you to do anything. So, I have to finish my work ahead of schedule to spend more time with you."
Finishing his words, Stanley put on his glasses again, lowered his head, and focused on the file, starting to concentrate on work.
He was not the kind of man who only focused on work and would not spend any time with his family.
When it came to his work, he would do his best. Similarly, as a husband and a father, he hoped that he could do his best as well.
Sharon, who was sitting on the sofa, was stunned by his words. Other than feeling touched, there was no other emotion in her heart.
Other than feeling touched, there was no other emotion in her heart.
In the quiet bedroom, suddenly there was a sob.
Stanley, who was holding the pen, was startled for a moment. Then he turned his head and looked over, utterly dumbfounded.
Sharon leaned on the sofa with tears splattering all over.
