As soon as Ayana said that, Stanley sneered, "How would people see you? Ayana, although we're engaged, you know better than anyone that we didn't get physical at all."
Ayana's face turned red from anger, though her voice softened as she pleaded, "Stanley, I've been devoted to you for the past four years. I even ignored the opposition from my family. How can you abandon me just like that? I didn't even know what I did wrong!"
Upon hearing that, Stanley went silent.
Ayana knew that he was a man of his words. In the past few years, he had done so much for the Warner Family just because she had saved his life back then.
He owed her a lot, not just his life, but also everything she did for him.
So as long as she used the past as an excuse, his heart would definitely soften.
For example, right now.
After a long silence, Stanley slowly asked, "Ayana, can I ask you something?"
"Yeah?"
"Why do you want to marry me? Is it because you really love me, or perhaps you just need me for your family's business?"
Ayana's body stiffened.
Stanley then continued, "When you saved me back then, you already knew who I am and that I'm married, yet you never mention anything about it, so I couldn't help but guess what your real intention is."
After he said that, he hung up the phone.
He didn't want to prolong the conversation with Ayana because Sharon could get jealous. He just needed to make things clear with Ayana and that was it.
Anyway, Sharon must be tired of waiting outside, so he shouted for her since she didn't seem to bring her phone. However, no one responded to him, so obviously, she wasn't standing outside.
Soon, he got a little impatient and wanted to pull out the IV needle so he could go out and find her. But then, he thought she might get upset if she saw him doing this.
So he suppressed the urge and waited for her.
On the other hand, Sharon originally just wanted to get some fresh air, but then she saw Shawn waiting in the corridor.
Looking at him striding towards her, Sharon recalled that she had promised to pick him up at the airport yesterday, which she had completely forgotten.
So was Shawn here to scold her?
"Ahem..." Sharon cleared her throat. "Shawn, I..."
With a frown, Shawn interrupted her. "I'm not here to scold you."
Sharon was surprised.
With a face full of concern, he then continued, "I just got off the plane and heard that the kids had an accident at the amusement park. How are they now?"
Just as Sharon was about to say that they were fine, she thought of something and asked suspiciously, "Wait, how did you know that?"
