Chapter 241
Edric staggered. Badly injured, he probably could go home on his own. Nelson had no choice but to support him. He planned to send Edric back.
However, Nelson hesitated. He could not help but look at Ray and Edwin and then at Sharon.
ft like this.
Ray and Edwin were acting weird tonight. Nelson was afraid that something would happen to Sharon if he left
âHelp him first,â Sharon said indifferently.
Hearing that, Nelson could only help Edric into his car. With a whoosh, the car disappeared into the night
âAre you alright?â Ray returned to his gentle self and reached out to pull her up.
Sharon had indeed been scared out of her wits in the race just now. When she realized that Ray was going to help her up, so she leaned closer to
him.
Unexpectedly, another hand took her hand and held it tightly.
Sharon was stunned for a moment before she turned around and saw the expressionless Edwin. If she had not seen Edwin extend his hand, she would have suspected that there was another man.
She didnât want Ray to hold her hand, but that didnât mean that Edwin could do so. As soon as Sharon realized it was Edwinâs hand, she wriggled her wrist to break free.
âIrene is looking for you,â Edwin said.
Irene was Sharonâs treasure. As expected, Sharon stopped moving. âWhen did you go to see her?â she asked.
Edwin did not answer and pulled her out of the arena
âMommy.â Irene suddenly popped her little head out of the car and waved at her.
Sharon recognized her âTrene, why are you here?â Sharon quickly broke free from Edwinâs hand and ran towards her. This time, Edwin did not stop her.
Irene immediately spread her arms and threw herself imo Sharonâs arms, rubbing against Sharon like a kitten. âI woke up and didnât see Mommy. I was so scared. Daddy said that he could bring me to you,â Irene replied.
She blinked and did not tell Sharon why Edwin went to their place and how he took her away with Ethanâs permission.
âIâm sorry,â Sharon said. Irene went to bed early and Sharon did not have time to tell her the race.
âMommy, youâre awesome just now. When I grow up, I want to drive too,â Irene said clearly.
She had also seen Sharon race the car just now and was very curious about car racing.
Sharon stroked Ireneâs head and said, âIâve undergone professional training. Irene canât drive like this normally. Itâs very dangerous.â
Irene was too young to understand. Sharon was afraid that she would imitate it
Irene nodded and rubbed her drowsy eyes. To wait for Edwin to bring her to Sharon, she had been forcing herself not to sleep. Now she was so sleepy.
Sharon could tell that she was sleepy. She caressed Ireneâs soft hair and turned to look at Ray. âMr. Gildon, my girl wants to sleep. I have to take her home.â
With that, she carried Irene to
her car.
âShe canât lie down in your car. Not enough space, and itâs not comfortable for her, Edwin said to stop Sharon.
With that, he opened the rear door of his car.
Irene rubbed her little face against Sharonâs arms. âI want to sit in Daddyâs car. Daddyâs car has a little bed for me.â
If Edwin named other reasons, Sharon would ignore the request. However, when it was for Ireneâs sake, Sharon had to consider it
Ireneâs persistence persuaded her. Sharon did not say anything, turned around, and got into Edwinâs car with her head lowered. Edwin placed his large palm on her back and helped her just in time.

Chapter 241
Ray silently watched them. Edwinâs help was actually a gesture to warn Bay that Sharon belonged to him.
Ray couldnât help but wonder, Is Edwin really in love with her?
After getting into the car, Sharon found that his car had a special car seat for a child. It was pink and had been turned into a sleeping basket. There
was a small blanket and pillow inside. It even had a small mosquito net. The whole thing was like a small canopy bed.
two small hands. Sharon understood and
Irene crawled under the mosquito net and let out a contented sigh. She pointed at her belly with her two st quickly helped her put on the seatbelt
Only then did Irene close her eyes comfortably. Tell me a story, Mommy,â she muttered under her breath.
Sharon thought for a moment, then opened the story app on her phone and slowly read the story.
Edwin sat in the passenger seat and signaled the driver to turn off the music. Sharonâs soft and infectious voice immediately filled the car.
An hour later, the car drove into the residential area where Sharon lived and stopped at her apartment building.
âThank you,â Sharon said politely as she bent down to carry Irene. But the driver was even faster, carried Irene over, and strode upstairs.
Sharon was surprised. She opened the door for him, about to follow him up the stairs.
Before she could get off, the door closed with a bang. At some point, a large hand appeared above her head and pressed down on the door. âWhy did Ray hit Edric?â Edwin asked, one hand pressed against the door and his other hand by his side. He lowered his body and approached Sharon. They got so close that she could even feel his breathing on her face.
âHow would I know?â Sharon asked innocently. Indeed, she did not know.
When Ray hit Edric, she was baffled. They probably have some personal grudge against each other.â That was all Sharon could think of.
Edwin did not retreat He looked at her with a deep gaze, as if he wanted to see through her. There was something different in his gaze. It was like something heavy pressing down on her chest, or a huge metal thing that could trap her. Even her breathing became difficult.
âRay has never liked to make enemies, Edwin said.
âMr. Stanley, do you want me to say that he fought for me?â Sharon was forced into a comer. âIf thatâs what you want, then Iâll tell you so.â
want to waste time with Edwin. âAlso, Mr. Stanley, the next time you take Irene away, can you let me know beforehand?â
She didnât want
He had taken Irene away time and time again without saying a word. Sharon couldnât take it anymore.
âIrene likes me.â Edwin said. His answer wasnât even relevant, and Sharon didnât know how to respond.
âYou have a thing for Ray?â he asked. Edwin had a lot of questions tonight. Sharon felt that it was more than all the questions he had ever asked during their four years of marriage.
âIt has nothing to do with you, right?â Whether she had feelings for kay or not, she did not want Edwin to get involved in her life.
Her words made Edwin narrow his eyes. âIrene is my daughter. I have the right to know what kind of family life she will have in the future,â he said.
So itâs because of Irene, Sharon thought, laughing at herself for thinking too much. She had assumed that Edwin asked because he cared about her. Fortunately, she did not say it out loud.
Sharon felt very uncomfortable being pinned to the wall by Edwin. She could not help but brush her short hair by her ear. âMr. Stanley, donât worry. I donât have any plans to get married for nowâ
It doesnât mean that she has no feelings for Ray. Edwin thought to himself.
âAsk around and youâll know about Rayâs family. The Gildon family wonât accept a divorcee, especially when she is their friendâs exâwife,â he said. What was this supposed to mean? Edwin had reminded her more than once that she was not worthy of Ray.
âDoes Edwin still think that I want to marry into a rich family for money? Sharon thought with contempt,
Sharonâs face darkened, and she replied, âMr. Stanley, you donât have to worry that Iâll pester Mr. Gildon, I donât care if the Gildon family accepts their friendâs exâwife. The thing is I donât like to get involved with the people around my exâhusband.â
Perhaps her reply this time pleased Edwin, so he immediately retreated. Looking at his satisfied smile, Sharon fell a sense of selfâdeprecation. It turns out heâs worried he wonât be able to get rid of me if Iâm with Ray, she thought.
