Due to the blackout, Sharon could only take a shower under the faint illumination of the flashlight.
After taking a shower, she returned to the empty bedroom and found that she was all alone. Suddenly, a sense of loneliness consumed her that she found herself very pitiful to have no one by her side in such a big house.
She didn't know where her husband went since he didn't even give her a call. The more she thought about Stanley's small-mindedness, the angrier she became. Every time there was a conflict, it was always her who compromised.
She had no choice but to compromise first since she was in a weak position.
Sharon sighed.
As she sighed, she wondered if she should call him to show concern and ask him if he had had dinner.
Anyway, she had compromised so many times, so it was not really a big deal to compromise again.
Sharon, who had made up her mind, began to look for her mobile phone.
Suddenly...
"Boom!" There were a few loud sounds.
"D*mn!"
Sharon was so scared that her legs began to become weak, her little face turned pale, and even her palms sweated.
There was a sudden change of weather!
It looked like it was going to rain soon!
A thunderclap suddenly sounded and resonated across the house.
Sharon was so scared that she shrieked in fear.
She had been afraid of thunder since she was a child. Moreover, she was all alone in such a big house, which added more horror to the already terrifying feeling.
She got goosebumps all over her body and began to break out in a cold sweat.
She was so scared that her whole body was stiff as a board and she didn't know what to do.
In the past, she always hid under the bed every time it thundered and Shawn would pull her out, hold her into his arms, pat her on the back, comfort her, and tell her not to be afraid.
She was all alone now. Shawn was not here with her, and there was no one to comfort her like before.
Another thunder roared.
"Ah..."
Sharon screamed, and she couldn't hold back the fear in her heart anymore.
She couldn't help but reach out in the dark and grab her phone tremblingly. She found Stanley's number and dialed it.
She could only think of him in a frightening moment like this. She hoped that he would come back soon and accompany her.
In Grasmere.
The sound of water echoed from the bathroom. The handsome man, who was said to be very rich and powerful, was taking a shower.
The woman sat on the sofa and couldn't help looking at the bathroom with a pair of seductive eyes. Feeling aroused, she took off her coat and planned to go into the bathroom...
"Ring, ring, ring..."
The most primitive ringtone suddenly rang. It was the mobile phone that the man put on the coffee table. The woman looked at it casually and saw the caller ID was Sharon.
The phone was ringing continuously. Looking at the direction of the bathroom, the woman hesitated for a moment and answered the call.
A weeping voice came from the other end of the line, "Stanley, where are you? Can you come back? It's raining and thundering. I'm afraid, can you..."
"Sorry, Mr. Jones is not here."
Sharon's mouth opening agape, she was stunned as a strange female voice came from the phone, and the thing she wanted to say was suddenly interrupted.
Curling up into a ball, she lowered her gaze and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"
The woman said in an enchanting voice, "I am the person who will entertain Mr. Jones tonight. Who are you?"
"Beep..."
The call was suddenly cut off.
The woman stared at the phone and frowned.
"Weirdo! Why did she suddenly end the call?" she muttered.
On second thought, she figured that the person who could call Mr. Jones at this hour must have a good relationship with him, so she wondered if Stanley would be angry when he found out that she answered his call without permission.
So, she braved herself and deleted the call log.
Sharon held her mobile phone in a daze. After a long while, she threw the phone aside and laughed at herself. For the first time, she felt that she was really stupid.
Because of fear, she called him and wanted to ask him if he could come back today, but he was caught cheating again.
