Sharon gasped in utter shock when she was told that Simon suddenly talked. As she heard Simon calling her Mom in his adorable voice, tears started to flow down her cheeks.
The realization that it was not that Simon couldn't speak but he just didn't want to hit her.
He was absolutely fine.
All of Sharon's worries for the past few days disappeared, and she burst into tears of joy.
She had originally thought that since Simon talked for the first time, he wouldn't be able to speak properly, but he could talk clearly and his expression was on point.
Delighted, Sharon held Simon in her arms and talked to him for a long time until she became thirsty from all the talking that Stanley carried him. "Take Sadie to take a bath. She's going to sleep."
"Oh." Only now did Sharon realize that it was getting late.
Hence, Sharon hurriedly brought Sadie to the bathroom to wash up.
On the other hand, Stanley put Simon to sit beside him and pinched his chubby face. "Good boy, you make Mommy so happy."
Looking at Stanley with eagerness in his eyes, Simon stammered, "I want to see Lacie..."
"You want to join next week's party?"
Simon nodded, "You promised..."
In fact, Stanley had indeed promised him that if he could talk to Sharon to make her happy, he would take him to next week's party.
Hence, he smiled as he looked at Simon's dark big eyes. "Alright, I'll take you there."
Overjoyed, Simon danced happily.
Looking at the happy boy, Stanley arched his eyebrows skeptically. Simon didn't seem like the type who liked to bully girls, and he actually adored Lacie very much. He wondered what did Simon do the other day that made Lacie cry. What did he do the other day that made her cry?
Soon, it was Saturday. They chose to meet up in the countryside which was suitable for a whole family to have fun.
Stanley brought two nannies with them to take care of the children so that Sharon and Ariah didn't have to worry about them.
When they arrived at the venue, the guys went to play golf while Sharon and Ariah were basking in
the sun.
Sharon recorded a video of the children playing and posted it on her Facebook.
After a while, Howard liked her post and added a comment, "Where are you? It seems like a nice place. Oh, I'm so bored. I want to go too! Send me the location!"
Sharon replied, "Aren't you working today?"
"It's my off day."
With that, Sharon shared their location to him.
It didn't take long for Howard to arrive and he brought Elaine along.
However, from the look of it, it was obvious that she didn't want to be here.
From a distance, Ariah and Sharon could see Howard and Elaine standing by the car and talking about something. They were so far away that the ladies couldn't hear any sounds, but from their actions, it seemed like they were in the middle of an argument.
After exchanging glances with Ariah, Sharon shouted, "Howard, over here!"
With a smile on his face, Howard slowly walked over and greeted, "Hey. Where are the boys?"
Sharon pointed in the direction, saying, "Over there."
"I'll go look for them." After saying that, Howard walked away without saying anything to Elaine nor asking Sharon to entertain her.
Regardless, Sharon waved her hand at Elaine to invite her to join them. Elaine took out a few delicate candies from her pocket. "I saw them on the road and felt that they were cute, so I bought some for Seamus and Sadie."
