Chapter 337
Sharon shifted her gaze almost immediately the moment Ember looked at her. She had nothing to say to Ember. She stepped forward and pulled the two children to her side. Then, she said politely, "It's getting late. We're going to rest. Please..."
Stanley interrupted her, "Other than your place, I have nowhere else to go. I'm not leaving."
Sharon was rendered speechless.
What did he mean he had nowhere to go? Couldn't he just stay at a hotel?
Sharon gave him a hard glare. "I don't have a place for you to sleep!"
Her intention was clear. He wasn't welcome here!
Although she had a straight face, Stanley didn't mind about it at all. On the contrary, he even smiled and said, "It's okay, I can make a bed on the floor."
He would rather she scolded him and hit him, than being ignored by her completely.
Looking at him being shameless, Sharon was at a loss for words.
Right then, Sadie pulled at Sharon's sleeves and stared at her with a pair of black, grapelike eyes. "Mommy, please let daddy stay!"
Sharon knew that her daughter liked Stanley and would definitely speak up for him, but it still broke her heart a little to see Sadie speaking up for Stanley, who had just returned a few days ago.
Anyway, she wouldn't let Stanley and the others in, and she didn't want to have anything to do with them either. Just when she was thinking of making excuses, Ember suddenly clutched her chest and moaned, "My... pills..."
Hazel instantly became anxious. "She has a heart attack!"
Upon hearing that, Stanley started to look serious, whereas Sharon stood rooted to the spot. Immediately, he took the key from her hand and opened the door.
"Get her in first!"
Stanley ordered.
Hazel quickly helped Ember into Sharon's house.
As for the rest, they also entered the house.
Seeing that, Sharon stomped her feet on the spot, because her room was a complete mess and she didn't want the guests to see it!
Thinking of this, she immediately followed in.
However, everyone's attention was focused on Ember, and no one was in the mood to care about her room...
Fortunately, Hazel brought the medication with her. After Ember was helped to the sofa, Stanley poured a glass of water and helped his mother to take the medication.
Sharon stood aside and watched, looking a little dazed. She wondered if Ember's heart was also donated by her father... NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
"Tsk, look like you've lived a sullen life these past few years." Just as she was in a daze, she heard a voice beside her. It was Liam.
He leaned against the side. His arms crossed around his chest as he sized up the room. "How did you and the two children manage to live in such a small place?"
"Well, for a rich dude like you, of course, you can't stand to live here. But for us folks, all we need is just a bed to sleep on."
Sharon gave him a sidelong glance.
Liam was stumped by her words.
Sharon looked at him with a frown. "Anyway, why are you here?"
Liam lowered his voice as if he was afraid that Stanley would hear him. "Of course I'm here to watch the show. If something happens to Ember because of her heart attack, then it will mean I've taken revenge for my mother."
Sharon was bereft of speech.
However, she could feel that compared to four years ago, Liam didn't seem to hate Ember and Stanley as much as before. Although he still seemed to hate Ember now, he was just saying without taking any actual action.
As she thought this, Ember, who sat on the sofa not far away, had also slowly calmed down, though her face was still a little pale.
Seeing that Ember was fine, Sharon wanted to say something. But in the end, she held it in and took the two children back to the bedroom.
Looking at Sharon's indifferent attitude, Ember let out a sigh. She knew that Sharon still held a grudge against her.
On the balcony, there were two tall men. Liam glanced at the man beside him and handed him a cig. However, Stanley didn't take it but said, "I don't smoke, and you better don't either." "Why?"
"Before Sharon got pregnant, I promised her to quit smoking. Besides, the kids are in the room. If you smoke, you will leave a smell."
Liam curled his lips. Jeez, it seemed that this loving father didn't want his kids to get secondhand smoke! But the air was flowing here, and it wouldn't take long for the smoke to dissipate.
Although Liam thought so, he didn't ignite the cigarette eventually. He shot a sidelong glance at Stanley and couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you tell your mother about your recovery of memories?"
"I don't want a lot of people to know about this yet. This way, the news won't reach Isai. If we want to deal with him, we have to let him lower his guard first."
Stanley looked up into the distance. Even though his voice was suppressed, Liam could still hear it clearly.
Pursing his lips, Liam looked solemn. "You really plan to do something to Isai?"
Stanley suddenly started laughing, though his smile cold. "He owes me a lot, and it's enough for him to pay with his life."
"If you want revenge, do whatever you need to do. But don't drag me into this." Liam had made it clear. Although he was related to the Jones by blood, he didn't have many feelings for Isai. He didn't care whether Isai was dead or not.
Stanley glanced at him. "Liam, I can assure you that what happened to your mother back then had absolutely nothing to do with my mother."
Liam's expression turned cold. "Is it? I saw it with my own eyes back then. My mother was lying in her room, covered in blood, and she was holding a dagger that was stained with blood!"
Stanley became silent.
"Never mind, she's your mom, so of course you're on her side," said Liam with a sneer as he turned around. "Anyway, I've had enough of today. See you later."
Stanley stood in the same spot for a while. When he returned to the living room, Ember wasn't around, and only Hazel was there.
"Where's my mother?"
Hazel pointed and said, "She just went in the bedroom to talk to Sharon, and she asked me not to disturb them."
Hearing that, Stanley wanted to go over, but was stopped by Hazel. "Mr. Jones, this is between them. Why don't you let them deal with it alone? Who knows, maybe the grudge could be resolved."
Stanley carefully thought about her words and decided to leave the two alone.
