While Sharon was half asleep, she felt the edge of the bed sink. She opened her eyes in a daze, but before she could see anyone, she had smelled the breath of the man behind her.
It was Stanley.
He's back?
Just as she was about to get up, Stanley leaned over and held her tightly in his arms. "What are you doing?"
"...turning on the lights."
"Don't. Go to sleep." Stanley hugged her from behind. "Don't wake them up."
Pursing her lips, Sharon dismissed her intention to turn on the lights. After a long while, she slowly relaxed her tense body, and calmly got away from his arms.
Stanley seemed to have sensed her little movements and dragged her back to his side. His tone was a little unhappy. "Stop moving."
Sharon had two children in front of her, and behind her was a man's chest filled with a fiery passion. His skin was burning hot, and his attitude was completely different from before he went out. It was as if nothing had happened. His cold and indifferent appearance before he left replayed in Sharon's mind. Now that he was embracing her so tightly, Sharon could not accept it.
As she struggled to free herself, Stanley pressed down on her shoulder with his powerful hand and asked with a frown, "What's wrong?"
Sharon's low and dull voice broke through the silence, "Didn't you say you were mad at me and left? Why did you come back?"
"Me, mad at you?" Stanley flipped her over and frowned. "Tell me clearly, how am I mad at you?"
"You must be very unhappy after Shawn touched me. You didn't say a word on the way to the hotel. The first thing you did when we arrived at the hotel was ask me to take a bath. Stanley, did you... did you..."
Sharon couldn't continue. She couldn't forget Stanley's cold face when he told her to take a shower, as if he was despising her.
She bit her lip and lowered her gaze. Suddenly, her chin tightened and her face was lifted. She was forced to look into Stanley's dark eyes. "Sharon, why would I be mad at you? I'm mad at that b*stard for hurting you! I asked you to take a shower because I think you must feel very uncomfortable. As for why I left the room, it was because if I stayed and looked at you, I wouldn't be able to control my temper. It's very likely that I would go and find trouble with Shawn. That's why I left to distract myself."
Sharon was stunned for a moment. "Is... that all?"
"What else could it be? Did you think I was disgusted by you?"
Immediately, Sharon pursed her lips.
Stanley raised his eyebrows. "Am I such a person in your heart?"
Embarrassed, Sharon couldn't speak.
Stanley's breath drew closer, and his forehead pressed against hers. His hot breath was blowing on her cheek. "Have you ever fallen in love with Shawn in the four years when I was away? Huh?"
His question was straightforward, and his lips gently bit hers. Sharon's body leaned back. "No... no."
Stanley was satisfied with this definite answer, and he increased the intensity of his kiss. "Since I'm back, all three of you can depend on me. Don't worry; I'll take care of you. From now on, you shouldn't meet Shawn again. Otherwise, I won't be happy. Do you hear me?"
Sharon was made dizzy by his kiss and didn't speak for a while.
