Chapter 81: You Will Be Furious and Driven Mad
Chapter 81: You Will Be Furious and Driven Mad
In despair, Sharon pushed open the door and sat on a chair in the courtyard.
Charlotte walked out of the room and asked, "You said you have something to do, but why do you come back so soon?"
Sharon sighed and shook her head, "I don't have any loose ends today.’ She had thought that Jameson came here on purpose.Given Jacob replied quickly, Jameson might have wanted her to beg him.However, she didn't expect Jameson took it seriously.It seemed the development of the resort hotel was not inevitable, so it was probably useless to beg Jameson.
He was always cunning and heartless.
What a je*k! After a while, Sharon said, "Charlotte, did you know this place is going to be demolished?"
Charlotte nodded and sat beside her, sorting out things, "Yes."
"Then where do you want to go?"
"I haven't decided yet.The developer was also planning for this.Even if the documents are approved, it will take some time for them to be implemented.We have no choice but to wait."
Sharon was also worried about this.
With the baby in her belly growing, it was not easy for her to go anywhere.
Charlotte looked up at her and said in a calm tone, "If you don't know where to go, just go with me."
Sharon's eyes lit up, and she perked up at once, "Really?"
"Anyway, I'm alone.It doesn't matter if you live with me."
"Thank you, Charlotte,’ Sharon smiled.
Even though she said that, ever since Jameson appeared, she had a feeling that this comfortable and peaceful life would come to an end.
Suddenly, the street outside was bustling with noise, but they didn't know what happened.
Sharon looked towards the wall covered in green vines, lost in thought.
Charlotte asked, "Do you want to go out and take a look?"
Hearing this, Sharon looked round and shook her head with a chuckle, "It might be the developer.I don't care."
Sharon did not want to see him, and neither did Charlotte.
Charlotte liked to keep to herself, and was never curious about such things.
Not long after, the noise faded away.
Mary pushed the door open and walked in.
She beamed and said, "Charlotte, Sharon, why are you still here? Why don't you join us?"
Sharon remembered Mary was the most upset when news came that this place was going to be changed into a resort hotel.
Therefore, she wondered why Mary was so happy now.
Mary sat down at the table and said happily, "That developer is young and handsome.He is even more handsome than those stars on TV.If I were twenty years younger, I will...! I am even kind of shy!"
Sharon didn't know what to say next.
She asked tentatively, "Mary, have you forgotten that he's here to convert your house into a resort hotel? You've lived in it for decades!"
Mary slapped her thigh and said, "Oh my goodness, I totally forgot this.Well, it doesn't matter.This street is very old.The government mentioned it a few years ago, but they didn't have a plan.Even without this developer, there will be another one, so I would rather have faith in this handsome man."
Sharon pursed her lips and tried her best to remain silent.
She wanted to say, ‘Mary, if you heard what he said, you will be furious and driven mad.”
Mary added, "Charlotte, where are you going? Sarah and Martha are going to live with their sons.My daughter-in-law was mean, so I don't want to live with them.Why don't we continue to be neighbors?"
"Okay.” Hearing this, Mary felt relaxed.
After thinking for a while, she said, "By the way, you've lived here for so many years, but I have never seen your son before.What does he do?"
Charlotte paused for a moment.
Just as she was about to speak, Mary interrupted, "Don't deny it.I saw the photo last time and he looks very handsome."
"He lives with his father,’ Charlotte said indifferently.
Mary realized she had made a blunder.
She coughed and said, "Although you have divorced, it's not a big deal, so your son should have visited you at times.After all, it must be at least twenty years."
"He doesn't know where I am.Mary shook her head and sighed, "Then this is really..."
Sharon did not say anything, but she could more or less know how Charlotte felt.
Thinking for a while, Mary slapped her thigh again and said, "Sharon!"
Sharon was stunned.
What did she have to do with this? "After a brief discussion, we decide to prepare a dinner party to treat the developer to dinner.However, you know, most of us are not young and it's unseemly and ridiculous for us to have dinner with him.So we have come to a decision that you will attend the party as the representative of our street."
Sharon opened her eyes wide in disbelief, "Did he agree?"
"In order to establish a good relationship with us, he certainly agreed.’
Mary patted Sharon on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Sharon.We don't want to put you on the spot.We just want to show our sincerity.Julian and his leaders are also there.They won't embarrass you, and Julian can send you back when it's over."
That's not Sharon worried about, but it seemed Mary was trying to make a match between Julian and her.
After a few seconds, Sharon said, "I..."
Mary got up, patted her on the shoulder again, and said in a solemn voice, "Sharon, you do the honors."
After Mary left, Sharon looked at Charlotte blankly.
Charlotte said, "You don't have to go if you don't want to.’
In fact, Sharon was willing to go because she wanted to ask Jameson what was going on, but she thought it was a little awkward to see him now. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
At night, when Sharon was about to leave, she remembered Jameson looked dissatisfied when he saw what she wore last night.
Therefore, she went upstairs, walked into her room, and dressed herself in a retro dress with a retro makeup.
Then, she chose an age-colored hairband with a pair of earrings in the pile of old things Charlotte gave her, and put them on.
After that, she left the room with satisfaction.
When Sharon was out, Mary was standing at the door.
Seeing Sharon, Mary couldn't help saying, "Sharon, how beautiful you are! In our generation, you must be famous as a great beauty!"
Sharon smiled, "Thank you, Mary."
"Thank you for your offer of help.You've only moved here for a few days, and we're very sorry to ask you to do this for us.However, you're the prettiest in the street."
"Don't say that, Mary.You and Charlotte have been nice to me since I moved here."
Mary nodded happily, "In that case, Sharon, I never beat around the bush.Julian..."
"It's too late,"
Sharon interrupted her right away, "Mary, I should go now.See you!"
