Trapped in the arms of Stanley, Sharon struggled, but she couldn't move at all.
Then, she heard Stanley's low and pleasant voice. "Honey, I know I was wrong. It was my fault yesterday. I shouldn't have said those words to make you angry. Don't be angry, okay?"
"Let go of me first!"
At that moment, Sharon was very anxious. What if someone walked in? Wasn't he afraid of being called a hooligan?
"If you say that you will forgive me, then I will let you go."
"Okay, fine, I forgive you. Now, let go of me!"
However, Stanley asked, "Do you really forgive me?"
Furiously, Sharon answered, "Stanley, what else do you want?"
If she didn't forgive him, would she even let him hold her in his arms like that?
Nonetheless, Stanley didn't let go of her. In fact, his huge hands grabbed her waist and pushed her into the cubicle as he hovered his body over hers and said aggressively but childishly, "If you don't forgive me, I won't let you go."
That reply of his left Sharon tongue-tied.
When Sharon saw that he was even more childish than Seamus, she was speechless.
This was not a place for them to talk. If someone were to come in and see them like this, they would definitely have wrong thoughts about them. If that were to happen, there was no way Sharon could explain herself.
"Stanley, I've really forgiven you." Frantically, Sharon pushed him away and uttered, "Let's get out of here first."
The warm breath of Stanley hit her earlobe. "Why are you panicking? There's no one here..."
"What if someone enters?"
"Hmm, then it will only be even more exciting."
At that moment, Sharon was really furious, and she was at a loss for words. Then, she glared at him fiercely and warned him, "If you still don't let me go, don't even think of sleeping on the same bed with me tonight!"
Then, Stanley raised his eyebrows, and after he gave it a thought, he slowly loosened his grip.
When Sharon heaved a sigh of relief as she tidied up the clothes that Stanley had messed up, Stanley laughed and asked, "Why are you so scared? We're a married couple. What's wrong with us being so intimate with each other?"
"This is the women's restroom!" Utterly discomfited, Sharon exclaimed, "If others were to see us hugging each other in the women's restroom, what would do they think of me?"
When Stanley heard her explanation, he was taken aback.
Then, Sharon rolled her eyes at him. "It's not like you haven't experienced how mean they are with their words. If the word of me hugging you in the washroom gets out, they definitely won't say anything about you, but they'll say that I'm too thirsty for you..."
At that moment, Sharon could no longer continue because she heard the sound of footsteps outside.
Oh no, it was over. The thing that she was afraid of really happened!
Just as she was dumbfounded, Stanley's reaction was quick enough to pull her back into the cubicle. Then, he closed the door, and the two of them squeezed together in the cubicle.
Meanwhile, Sharon buried her entire face in his embrace, and she did not even dare to breathe loudly. At that moment, she felt shameful and furious.
When the people who entered earlier finally went out, Sharon violently pushed Stanley away and strode out.
Innocently, Stanley rubbed his nose and followed.
After she went out of the bathroom and came to the classroom, she saw the principal pleasing Seamus and Sadie from a distance. In the principal's hand was a cake and candies, and he was standing next to Sadie with a big smile on his face.
However, Sharon silently thought that if it wasn't for Stanley, how could these two children receive such treatment?
As if he could read her mind, Stanley whispered in her ear and said, "You have to know that there are many people who try hard to please me, and Seamus and Sadie are my children. To curry favor with me, those people will shift their gazes to the children. In the future, you will see a lot of situations like this."
Startled, Sharon was at a loss for words.
"I know that you don't like to live your life like this, so I won't be announcing our relationship to the public for now. This way, you and our children will be saved from a lot of unnecessary troubles."
