Sharon's little thought had been exposed by Stanley, which made her feel embarrassed. With that, she straightened her neck and denied, "No!"
"You're not competing for favor with the baby, right?"
"Stanley, you..."
Why was this guy so annoying? Revealing her little secret was fun for him, huh?
"I love the baby in your belly very much, but on one condition. You have to be the mother of the child. Only then, I'll give all my love to him or her."
Sharon's emotions were currently exploding. Stanley's magnetic and pleasant voice caused her anger to dissipate.
With a reddened face, she opened her mouth but could not say a word.
"Also, there's no need to compete for favor with our future children. Even if I love them, it won't be as much as the love I have for you. Sharon, I love you."
At the moment, the two of them were so far apart, as they were on different ends of the world. However, Sharon felt as if he was right by her. Listening to his low and deep voice beside her ear, she felt her heart tingling. Her small face flushed scarlet, and her chest was heaving.
Clutching her heart, Sharon almost could not to hold on any longer.
As the other side was silent, Stanley frowned and checked the phone. It showed that they were still on the line, but why was there no response from the other side?
This was the first time he confessed his love to her.
The first time he clearly said that he loved her, but did she react this way?
"Ahem." Stanley cleared his throat and frowned. "Sharon?"
It took Sharon a long time to find her voice. "Yes? I'm here."
"Why are you panting?" When he heard it, he immediately asked nervously, "Are you not feeling well?"
"No, no!" Sharon bit her lip while her hand was sweating, holding the phone. How could she tell him? It was because he said that he loved her, so she was so excited.
If she said it, he would definitely laugh at her.
"Are you sure you're alright? I have already told Howard before I left. If anything happens, you just need to give him a call and he will go to you at once."
"I'm really fine! Don't get so nervous."
It was true that he was too nervous. As a man, he couldn't get pregnant, and he felt that the life of a pregnant woman was not easy. Her belly would grow bigger and bigger, just like a ball, and the sight of it was worrying.
Now, Sharon's stomach was still flat, but he's already super nervous. At the time of five or six months, even he himself thought he might be nervous to the point of being psychotic.
"How are you doing over there? Your mother is fine, isn't she?" asked Sharon, as she thought that since he was able to talk to her, his mother's health condition should still be optimistic.
The other side was silent for a long time before she heard a reply, "She's in a stable condition."
"That's good, that's good." Sharon let out a sigh of relief.
"Sharon..."
Stanley suddenly called her name.
"Yes," Sharon immediately replied, "What's the matter? I'm here."
"I'm wondering that if I did something wrong, would you forgive me?"
"Well, it depends on what it was. If it's not a particularly bad thing, then I'll just close an eye and pretend that I do not know." Sharon did not understand why he had suddenly asked these questions. She felt suspicious. "What's wrong with you? Have you done something wrong to me?"
