As Sadie fell asleep, Sharon walked out of the bedroom lightly. She saw that Stanley and Seamus were watching a TV program about finance in the living room.
Surprisingly, even Seamus was also absorbed in the program that enthralled her husband.
She thus coughed gently to seek their attention.
As expected, both of them turned their heads.
While Stanley calmly switched to another channel, Seamus came down from the couch. "Is Sadie asleep?"
"Yes." She bent down and kissed him on the forehead.
In return, he hugged his mother's neck and planted a goodnight kiss on her cheek. "Then I'll go to sleep now. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
As Seamus entered his room, Sharon came to Stanley's side and discovered that he was staring at their son with back with a sorrowful gaze.
"What is it that you are looking at?" Sharon waved her hand in front of his eyes.
Retracting his gaze, he rubbed his tummy while holding the remote control. "I'm wondering when he will treat me like how he treated you," he said gruffly.
That amused her, for that was just a goodnight kiss from their son.
Did Stanley get jealous because of this?
It made her speechless.
"If you want to get close to Seamus, then you need to take the initiative. If he doesn't kiss you, why don't you kiss him first?" Sharon rolled her eyes at him and pouted. "It's like how you touched me when I did not want to bother you."
"It's a different story." Throwing the remote away, he continued, "If I didn't take the initiative to touch you, then I might not have a wife. However, it's not a big problem if I don't take the initiative to get close to my son. There is a long way to go. I can take it slow, and one day he will get close to me."
Words eluded her as she heard his justification.
She stared at her handsome husband for quite some time, for she could find no points to refute his reasoning.
However, what he had just said did make sense too.
That was just too embarrassing.
"I've taken a bath. It's your turn now," said Sharon, who sat cross-legged on the couch. She didn't want to spend more time on this issue anymore.
Since it was quite late now, Stanley got up and went to the bathroom.
Then, she grabbed the remote control and switched on the TV. She could not help wondering what Stanley was watching with Seamus just now.
After pressing on the remote control several times, the TV finally showed the financial program.
Just then, the host mentioned something that startled Sharon.
She thus increased the volume and stared at the screen.
It was the news about Shawn.
After listening for a while, she knew roughly knew what had been going on - Shawn's company had been facing a crisis.
That was a major threat to the company, which could lead to irrevocable consequences if not handled well.
While holding the remote control, she frowned and wondered how Shawn's company could end up like this.
Over the past few years, Shawn had been focusing more on Beachmarsh City compared to Cresthill City. He worked very hard day after day, which was why his company could develop so well. He had even had meals with the officials of Beachmarsh City several times.
His business had been prosperous in these years.
Therefore, she was astounded to learn that the company was facing such a serious threat.
Captivated by the host's torrential speech, she did not realize that Stanley had come out of the bathroom. "What are you watching?"
It was then that Sharon regained her senses.
Turning her head, she saw he was wearing a soft, simple shirt. Although the material was not very expensive, it still exuded a different kind of smell on his body.
With his short hair slightly wet and his eyes dark, he looked gentle and alluring under the warm-toned light.
Sharon was thus somewhat lost in thought while observing him.
Taking a step forward, he came to stand beside her. The air that was filled with the fruity aroma of shower gel directly wafted over her.
