Hazel took a look at Stanley's side profile and couldn't help saying, "Mr. Jones, why are you hanging with Liam again?"
Stanley replied in an unconcerned tone, "Anthony told me that he's my half- brother. Should I not hang with him?"
Of course. Stanley used to hate Liam very much. Not only did Liam steal his girlfriend, but he also hated Stanley's mother a lot. No matter what, Stanley shouldn't be involved with him.
However, Hazel didn't say it out loud. She thought that since Stanley had lost his memory, he must have forgotten what Liam had done in the past. So he might not believe her even if she told him.
"Didn't Anthony tell you that you two weren't this close in the past though?"
Hazel thought for a while and decided to say it in this way.
Stanley looked confused as he shook his head. "No, Anthony only told me briefly about my family. He didn't say anything else."
Hazel couldn't help but sigh. When would Mr.
Jones gain back his lost memory?
In the bedroom-
"Sharon, can we talk?"
Sharon was holding Sadie in her arms and teaching the kids about numbers when the voice of Ember suddenly sounded behind her.
After a moment of silence, Sharon said blandly without turning to look at Ember, "I have nothing to say to you. If you feel better now, please leave."
Ember recalled that before Sharon's father had passed away, she used to take Stanley to visit her, who was still adorable and obedient at that time. And Ember almost fell in love with this daughter-in-law at first sight, but she didn't expect things would turn out this way.
"Well, I just wanna say that since Stanley has lost his memory now, he must be feeling a little helpless. And I can see that he feels much comfortable being with you. So could you please take care of him until he regains his memory? After all, you are special to him and it is possible that you could help him to recover his memory through day- to- day activities."
However, Sharon was treating her as if she didn't exist.
Ember sighed in her heart. Sharon probably wouldn't forgive her for the rest of her life.
The two little kids were very interested in her though. They kept turning to look at her, but did not dare to look at her blatantly, because children were very sensitive. They knew that their mother didn't seem to get along with their grandma, so they were afraid that their mother would get angry.
They only took a quick glance at Ember.
Ember looked at the two adorable kids with a warm smile and felt extremely heartwarming. She then placed an album to the side, thought for a moment, and said, "The two children look very similar to young Stanley. This is the album I brought from home. If you want, you can look at young Stanley's photos."
Still, Sharon didn't say anything.
Eventually, Ember pursed her lips and her eyes darkened. "In that case, I won't disturb you guys."
Then, she turned around and left.
Sharon sat there for a long time. In the end, it was Sadie who patted her hand and cried, "Mommy, you're hurting me..."
Sharon suddenly came to her senses and found that she was holding her daughter's hand too tight that it had hurt her a little.
"Sorry, darling!" Sharon immediately let go of her hand with a distressed look. "Does it still hurt?"
"No, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Sadie comforted her sensibly and then couldn't sit still any longer. She got down from Sharon's arms, saying that she was thirsty, and then went out of the bedroom happily.
When it came to studying, Sadie just couldn't sit still for too long.
