Why didn't she realize the presence of this man earlier when she had just arrived?
Both surprised and suspicious at the same time, Sharon thought maybe it could be that she was too anxious about her daughter's safety, which was why she didn't notice the person next to her.
When Stanley heard her question, he faintly raised an eyebrow and uttered, "I've been standing here the entire time, and you were the one who didn't see me, but now you are blaming me?"
With her lips tightly pursed together, Sharon remained silent. Never had she expected Stanley to come to Beachmarsh and also meet the children in such a way.
These two children belonged to him. Although she did not intend to hide it from him, she felt that it was not the right time yet, and she was hoping to tell him when his memory was restored.
But now that he had discovered it in advance, except for the initial panic Sharon was having, she slowly calmed down.
Besides, she knew there would always be a solution to each problem.
After thinking it through, she was not so nervous anymore, and she even took the initiative to speak, "Ah, Mr. Jones. It has been a long time since we last met. Shouldn't you be in Allgate? What made you came all the way here to Beachmarsh?"
At that moment, Stanley narrowed his eyes at her. From her tone, he could tell that she was talking to him as if he was a stranger. However, she was not like this when she was back in Allgate. Why did her attitude suddenly change when she returned to Beachmarsh?
After staring at her for a while, Stanley finally retracted his gaze and looked at the two children behind her. "What lovely children you have."
With a smile, Sharon answered, "Indeed, they are really cute."
How could her children not be cute?
Meanwhile, Stanley's gaze shifted as he continued to ask, "Where is their father? Why did I not see him anywhere?"
At that moment, Sharon's gaze was fixed on him, as if she wanted to pierce a hole through his body with it. Unable to withstand her fiery gaze, Stanley cleared his throat and said, "Uh, since these two children are yours, then I won't disturb you anymore. We shall continue the conversation when we meet next time."
After that, he turned around and motioned his assistant to leave.
However, the assistant's gossipy gaze was glued to Sharon, and he didn't seem like he wanted to leave at all.
When Stanley saw his assistant's actions, his face darkened. Just as he was about to yell at his assistant, Sharon's faint voice drifted over from behind, "The children's father is so near, yet so far."
Even his assistant, who always had an inscrutable mind, understood what she meant. Though he was shocked, his gaze kept going back and forth between the two children and Mr. Warner's face. In the end, he got so shocked that he almost blurted out, "Mr. Warner, these two children do look like you!"
However, the children's facial features were not fully developed yet, so it was impossible to tell who they resembled if he didn't look carefully. After the assistant stared at him carefully for a moment, he finally found something fishy. In fact, he was even more convinced that these two children were absolutely related to Stanley!
Meanwhile, Stanley listened to his assistant's words, and his face fell. With his lips pursed tightly, he seemed angry.
At that moment, the assistant's heart skipped a beat, as he thought that he was doomed for saying something wrong. If these two kids were the children of Mr. Warner, what position would Ayana be in? Wouldn't that be slapping Ayana in the face?
Besides, everyone from top to bottom in Warner Group knew that Ayana and Mr. Warner were going to get married soon. If he were to say that these two children resembled Mr. Warner at this moment, wasn't it clear that Mr. Warner had an affair with another woman?
As the assistant looked at Stanley's cold expression, his forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
Nevertheless, Stanley couldn't be bothered to pay attention to his assistant as he turned around and left. At this moment, his pants suddenly tightened, and a soft voice called out, "Daddy, where are you going?"
The voice from Sadie immediately made Stanley's steps stop in place.
At that moment, the child had made up her mind to admit that he was her father, but he had no idea how to reject her...
While Stanley stood where he was, he looked down at the big eyes of the little girl. In a dilemma, he was deciding whether he should leave or not.
However, when Sharon saw Stanley's dilemma, she walked over and let out a sigh, "Sadie, let go of him."
In fact, she felt that he was really heartless. In just a few days, Sharon had already been deeply hurt by him.
For a moment, she steeled her heart and immediately picked Sadie up, turned around, and left.
Pitifully, Sadie reached out her small hand to Stanley and said, "Daddy..."
When Stanley heard that, his brows twitched, and he gritted his teeth as he watched her figure retreated. A conflicted expression appeared on his face, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and trailed behind her.
Meanwhile, Sadie was lying on Sharon's shoulder with a lingering expression on her face, but when she saw Stanley trailing behind them, her expression suddenly became excited.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Sharon cannot help but raise the corners of her lips.
After they returned to the ward, the doctor examined Sadie once more. Indeed, she had recovered from her cold and could be discharged from the hospital, but he still gave her a list of medications that she needed. Then, Sharon took the list, thanked the doctor, and brought her children out of the doctor's office.
As soon as she went out, she saw him standing against the wall.
After Sharon cast a glance at him, she took the children's hand and walked away without saying a word.
At that moment, Sadie was very excited. However, when she looked at her mother, it seemed as if her mother was angry. Since she didn't dare to cause too much trouble, she could only look in the direction of Stanley every once in a while and stare expectantly at him.
There were a lot of people waiting in line to get their medication. Besides taking care of the two children, Sharon also had to queue up, and the place was quite packed.
From the side, Stanley looked at her, then went straight over and took the list out of her hand as he said nonchalantly, "Wait for me by the side."
Taken aback by his actions, Sharon asked, "What are you doing?"
"There are so many people here. Aren't you afraid of losing your child again?" With a burning gaze, Stanley ordered, "Go and wait at the corner, and I'll get the medication."
The corners of Sharon's mouth curled up, and she couldn't help but feel like laughing.
"Sure." As soon as she responded, she brought her children to wait at the corner.
