When the doorbell rang, Sharon and her two children had already finished bathing. They were sitting cross- legged on the sofa, together with Ariah as they watched the heart-wrenching movie.
The emotions of the characters in the movie successfully made the three women cry. Meanwhile, with a confused look on his face, Seamus sat on one side and looked at the two women and Sadie, who had tears in their eyes.
It was understandable that Sharon and Ariah cried, but how was Sadie moved to tears at such a young age? A minute ago, she was clearly enjoying her food just like a little foodie...
For the first time in his life, Seamus had a deep understanding of a woman's change of attitude...
"Ariah, you stay here while I go and open the door." Then, Sharon got up and walked to the door while she wondered who it would be in the middle of the night.
However, as soon as she opened the door and saw the tall figure standing outside the door, she was stunned.
In the meantime, Stanley didn't expect to see Sharon's teary face as soon as he opened the door. At that moment, Sharon still had stains of tears on her eyelashes, her nose was red, and her small face stunned and confused at the same time.
Immediately, Stanley's expression changed as he reached out his hand and pulled her over. With a frown, he asked, "What's going on?"
In a daze, Sharon asked, "What... What are you doing here?"
Didn't she tell him she wouldn't be going home tonight? Why did he come over?
"Tell me, why are you crying!" As Stanley stroked her face, he asked, "Did Ariah bully you?"
That question left Sharon tongue-tied.
Meanwhile, Jimmy was about to enter the room when he heard that and rolled his eyes speechlessly. Couldn't Stanley see how the two women are? They were even closer than real sisters! How could Ariah bully her?
"No." Immediately, Sharon shook her head. "How could Ariah bully me? Why do you have such an idea?"
Dumbfounded, Stanley asked again, "Then why are you crying?"
"We're watching a movie, and it happened to be a sad scene. I cried because I couldn't help it."
The answer was totally different from what Stanley expected.
After Ariah waited for a long time, Sharon didn't come back, so she turned around to look while wiping away her snot. Unexpectedly, she saw Jimmy walking in from the door, and their gaze met each other.
Clearly, Sharon knew Stanley was here at this hour to bring her back. In her heart, she was instantly upset because Stanley was not even at ease when she said she wanted to stay over at Ariah's place for a night.
"Even if you're here, I still won't leave." Then, Sharon turned around and prepared to enter the house.
Suddenly, her body tightened as a force pulled her from behind. Just as she was about to scream, Stanley stopped it and pressed her body firmly against the wall.
The forceful and overbearing kiss almost made Sharon suffocate. At that moment, her struggling hands were pinned on the wall by Stanley with no effort at all while she was surrounded by his intense kiss.
Gradually, Sharon lost all ability to resist.
It wasn't until she was about to be out of breath that Stanley slowly let go of her and asked her in a heavy breath, "Shall we head home or not?"
Both angry and frustrated, Sharon answered, "You're forcing me to go home. I won't... uh..."
After a long while, Stanley let go of her. At that moment, Sharon's face was as red as a tomato, and her entire body began to tremble. In her ears, Stanley's deep and hoarse voice rang, "Are you leaving or not?"
"If I say I won't leave, are you going to continue to kiss me?"
"What do you think?"
It was a yes. Left with no choice, Sharon compromised and said, "Fine. I'll go home!"
Then, Stanley stood up in satisfaction as he caressed her head with his large palm and said, "Good girl."
His action left Sharon wordless.
