"Everybody can go back first. Howard, stay back and send me home later. I want to have a chat with Fane!” Sharon turned around and smiled. Although she was fat, her smile was very sweet and mesmerizing.
"We... We'll leave immediately!" Serene was disappointed that she could not witness Sharon being rejected. She knew this man would not be interested i n Sharon. Otherwise, he must have a very weird taste.
When Serene thought about how Fane was interjected by Fiona for a discussion when he intended to reject Sharon, she felt that Fane might be convinced by Fiona. After all, the George family was so rich and he might agree to it because of money.
Serene instantly felt cheated as she looked at the house. She would lose the chance to make fun of Sharon if Fane really agreed to the proposal.
"Yes, all of you can go back!" Sharon waved her hand and said, "I thank all my friends that came here for me today. I'll treat everybody to a meal some other day!"
Serene could only drive away with the others after everybody left.
Fiona looked at the situation outside from inside of the house and said, "This young man is really good. He didn’t need to do anything to make everybody leave!”
However, she soon saw something and said
surprisingly, "This is weird. Why did he ask Sharon to stay? There's even a driver and a car waiting for them. Hey, they've gone under the big banyan tree at the entrance!"
She paused and continued happily, "Did he make up his mind and wants Sharon to be his second wife?
We'll be rich if he makes the right choice!"
"Mother, what're you talking about? Fane told us that h e doesn't like Sharon and I'm sure that he wouldn't agree to her proposal!” Selena rolled her eyes at Fiona and said, "I think he’s trying to save Sharon some trouble by asking the others to leave first. After all, she's the daughter of the George family. She'll be ashamed if she was rejected in front of so many people!"
At this moment, under the big banyan tree...
Sharon palpitated.
"I can see that you've never been in a relationship and crave for love! However, love is not an impulse decision to make and you shouldn’t be blinded by your feelings at first sight!" Fane looked at Sharon and broke the silence.
Sharon lowered her head and did not speak.
Fane fetched a cigarette, lit it, and took a whiff. He continued, "I can see that you're a very nice and kind person! Otherwise, some of your friends wouldn't treat you as their true friend!" "Really? Thank you. I'm satisfied that I got your compliment!" Sharon's eyes lit up after she heard Fane and continued, "Actually, I know that you'll reject me, but I can't reconcile my emotions. It’s better to fail than to hold it back. Holding back is uncomfortable!"
She stretched her body in relief after she spoke and continued, "Fortunately, you didn’t reject me in front o f everybody even though you didn't like me. This shows me that I was right, you're really a good person. I really envy your wife, Selena, for meeting such a good husband! By the way, will you make fun of me? That I did such a crazy thing after being instigated by others!"
"I can see that some of your friends are genuine to you and wish for you to find true love!" Fane smiled and continued, "However, some of them aren't your friends but poisonous snakes. They stay by your side waiting t o make fun of you!"
