It was so quiet in the bedroom that they could almost hear each other's breathing.
Sharon then slowly relaxed, and whispered, "When did you come in?"
"A while ago."
"How long was a while ago?"
Did he just sit there and watch her?
"More than half an hour ago," Stanley took a glance at her and finally answered.
"Why did you come in.... and watch me?"
"I can't sleep." Stanley leaned back and lay next to her, saying lightly, "So I wanted to come in and chat with you, but you've already fallen asleep. With the moonlight shining on your face, you actually look quite pretty, so I stayed to watch you."
Sharon widened her eyes at that, and she couldn't believe that these words had come from him.
Ever since he lost his memory, his personality had changed so much that Sharon almost couldn't recognize him anymore.
Just as she was at a loss for words, Stanley spoke again, "I've got in touch with Anthony."
Sharon was a little surprised. "When?"
"Today."
"Oh, what did you guys talk about?"
"Well, he told me about my past, that you're indeed my wife." Stanley tilted his head and looked at her with a burning gaze. "I also went back to the villa where we used to live, and there are several dolls in the bedroom, which look like the ones here."
His deep voice wormed into Sharon's mind and she could feel half of her body getting numb. Pursing her lips, she then asked, "What else?"
Stanley took a deep look at her. "Anthony also told me about your father, and about how his death was caused by my so-called father!"
"Stanley!" Sharon warned lightly, as she was afraid of waking the children up. "Get out. I don't wanna hear these!"
What happened to her father had always been taboo. No one around her would bring this up because they knew that she would definitely lose her temper.
Stanley was surprised to get such a big reaction from her. "Are you... angry?"
"No." Sharon looked away.
With his brows furrowed, he turned her head back into facing him and said, "Sharon, if your father's death has always been a knot in your heart, then why did you persist in looking for me for the past four years?"
Sharon was taken aback by his words.
"Do you love me, or hate me?" he added.
Sharon slapped his hand away and suddenly chuckled. "Well, I have to find you because I was the one who indirectly caused you to go missing. So I thought that maybe I'd feel less guilty if I found you."
When Stanley heard what she said, his face gradually darkened.
It turned out that she was just trying to make up for her guiltiness!
Stanley was choked hearing her words, and his heart was filled with rage, to which he had no place to vent.
In the end, he simply leaned in and kissed her.
Sharon didn't expect him to be so daring when the kids were just right next to them.
