At such an hour, the cemetery was extremely quiet. The moment Shawn heard the sound of footsteps, he raised his head to look at her.
The fact that they hadn't seen each other for a long time. The first minute Sharon saw Shawn, she realized that he had lost weight. It seemed that his cheeks had sunken, his hair was messy, and there were stubbles on his chin.
In fact, he was totally different from the Shawn who used to be high-spirited.
As Sharon's footsteps came to a stop, she stood right in front of him.
At first, Shawn was smiling at her, but when she got closer, he noticed that her expression was gloomy. Then, he frowned and said, "You don't look too well."
Immediately, Sharon lowered her eyelashes, and a sneer appeared on her face.
When Shawn looked behind her, Sharon raised her head and saw his movement. "Did you think I'm lying to you? I didn't lie to you. I really came alone. Stanley didn't come along with me, and there's no police."
However, Shawn just smiled when he realized she figured out what he was thinking. "It's not that I don't trust you. I don't trust Stanley. He wants nothing more than to kill me, and I'm sure he will grasp any chance that he has."
Meanwhile, Sharon stared at him and didn't say anything.
However, Shawn had noticed that there was something wrong with her gaze as soon as she arrived. It was as if she wanted to see through his eyes into the depths of his soul...
Not once did she ever looked at him with such a fiery gaze. It was just that Shawn felt strange, and he even thought it was his own appearance that scared her. "What's wrong? Is my face dirty?"
On the other hand, Sharon asked him, "You've completely lost the chance to turn over, haven't you?"
"As long as Stanley is in Beachmarsh City, there is no place for me here." Directly, Shawn answered without the intention to hide anything from her, "He wants me dead. I'm afraid that he will never be at ease as long as I'm still alive."
With a sneer, Sharon answered, "Don't say as if he is a devil who kills without batting an eye. Shawn, what you are today is entirely your own fault. You can't blame anyone else."
"Wow, I see that you're speaking up for him already!" There was still a faint smile in Shawn's eyes, but his lips were pursed, "It is a fact that he wants to get rid of me. Why is he allowed to kill me, but I'm not allowed to talk about it?"
However, Stanley wanted to get rid of Shawn because he had committed a crime, and he was caught with evidence against his doings. If he didn't do anything wrong, Stanley wouldn't have been able to lay his finger on Shawn.
As if he was able to read her mind, Shawn took two steps forward and got extremely close to her as he whispered, "Every man who managed to get to the top of the society would have gotten their hands dirtied. Do you think Stanley would be an exception?"
After that, he did not argue about the issue with her anymore. Instead, he leaned down slightly, looked into her dark eyes, and said word by word, "Sharon, I want to leave this place. Are you willing to come with me?"
Expressionlessly, Sharon looked at him with her gaze frozen, and she said nonchalantly, "Do you know why I'm in such a hurry to come and see you?"
"Isn't it because you're worried about me?" With a chuckle, Shawn asked.
"After all you've done to hurt me over and over again, do you think I would still be worried about you?" Immediately, Sharon answered with a sneer.
The moment Shawn noticed the inexplicable anger and resistance in her emotions, his gaze moved. "Then why did you come to see me?"
While Sharon looked straight into his eyes, she asked slowly, "How on earth did my father die?"
As soon as she asked this question, Shawn's body shuddered, and his face turned pale, but he still said, "Didn't that happen a long time ago? We all knew that Isai and Stanley joined forces to kill your father!"
