Chapter 317

The work ran a little late, so it was already eight o’clock when Sharon got back to Moorwald.

Ethan mentioned he had to go back in Pinevale for something last minute Irene was with the old lady next door, who was taking care of her. Ethan made Sharon promise to pick Irene up on time, Ethan gave Sharon a bunch of instructions, worried that she and Irene might go hungry.

Hearing her father’s kind voice, Sharon couldn’t help but smile. She felt a mix of helplessness and affection. Parents never stop worrying, no matter how grown–up their kids get

She agreed to Ethan’s instructions, and after a bit more nagging, he finally hung up.

Sharon’s ears were burning from the phone call. As she put her phone away, she went to find her key. Just as her fingers touched the key, she froze at the door.

There, under the warm yellow street lamp, stood a man. He was tall, with long legs and the perfect proportions of a model. Even in the dim light, his presence was unmistakable.

Edwin had been facing the door the entire time. As if sensing her, he turned around as soon as Sharon stopped. He looked straight at her with his deep, captivating eyes

Sharon was stunned for a moment before reacting. “Mr. Stanley? Why are you here?”

Edwin didn’t respond. He just walked towards her, has gaze growing more intense with each step

Sharon instinctively took a step back, her eyes filled with wariness and nervousness.

Edwin took in her expression, his gaze darkening. He stopped just inches from her. “Miss Damon questioned my abilities in public. I thought it was necessary to check in personally”

“Did he watch my live broadcast too? Sharon thought. She never expected that. Edwin was always such a workaholic, usually only interested in work or watching economic news and tech reports.

“You misunderstood me,” she said, trying to explain. She only mentioned that their encounter in the But even saying that made her feel embarrassed.

room was brief and nothing happened.

She didn’t feel anything when she said it in the live broadcast, but she didn’t feel comfortable saying it in front of the other person involved

Edwin Hood tall and close, looking down at her. Sharon felt like a mouse under a cat’s gue

Uncomfortable, she licked her lips and glanced away.

Suddenly, Edwin reached out. Sharon didn’t know what he intended and instinctively dodged to the side, pressing her back against the wall Edwin’s arm blocked her escape, his other hand pinning her in place, trapping her between his chest and the wall

The space felt cramped. Sharon’s heart pounded as she stared at him warily.

Edwin’s lips curled into an ambiguous smile. So, you were being sarcastic! Do you think I’m very capable?“

Sharon was stunned.

“It seems you were quite impressed with our night together,” he said, his words like a flame making her blush.

“Wasn’t this man always serious and quiet? Now, he seems like a completely different person, Sharon thought.

Sharon wanted to put on a stern face and talk rationally, but under Edwin’s gaze, her mind felt scrambled.

She had always been able to handle other men with case. Is it because I had a history with him! Sharon thought in frustration.

Edwin noticed her vesed expression and his gaze darkened further. She looked so different from her carefree persona in the live broadcast appearing innocent and charming.

His Adam’s apple boblied as his eyes lingered on her lips. He lowered his head, almost uncontrollably searching for her lips with his.

Just as Edwin’s lips were about to touch hers, he felt a sharp pain in his foot and let out a low cry.

Sharon slipped out from under his ann.

“Mr. Stanley, if you need to satisfy your desires, there’s a good nightclub two streets away. Maybe you’ll find someone you like,” she said, looking

back at him provocatively and tapping her heel on the floor.

Edwin’s foot throbbed from being trampled by Sharon’s heel. Decisively, Sharon stated. “You can go. I won’t see you out!” Sharon quickly opened the door and slipped inside, trying to shut him out

“Daddy.”

A child’s voice stopped her. Sharon turned to see Irene being led out by Barbara Dunlap from next door.

Irene blinked her big eyes and looked at Edwin in surprise.

Edwin masked his pain as Irene rushed to him. “Daddy, did you come to keep us company because Grandpa isn’t home?”

Sharon was speechless.

‘Great. I planned to use my father to scare Edwin away, but my daughter spilled the beans Sharon thought.

“Wow, this is Irene’s Dad! He’s so handsome,” Barbara said. She’d just moved in and hadn’t seen Edwin before. Barbara was delighted by Edwin’s good looks. “No wonder Irene is so good–looking with such genes!”

“Barbara,” Sharon greeted, stepping out.

Barbara nodded, her eyes daning between Sharon and Edwin. “What a match!”

Sharon wanted to explain they weren’t together, but Barbara chuckled and left, saying. “I won’t disturb your family reunion. Coodbye”

Edwin naturally hugged Irene, who wrapped her arms around his neck. “Mama I’m so hungry,” Irene said.

Sharon looked at the helplessly and let Edwin in.

Edwin’s presence made Irene excited. She chattered away, Daddy, the amusement park was so fun. I liked it.”

Feeling he owed her, Edwin nodded. If Irene likes it, Daddy can take you there again.”

“No need.” Irene said, glancing at Sharon. “But Mama promised to take me to the light show tonight. If Daddy wants to go, I can invite you” Sharon knew about the light show, arranged by Ethan Seeing Irene invite Edwin made her face tum green. She gave Irene a warning look Biting her lip, Irene slid out of Edwin’s bold. Irene quickly ran to Sharon and tugged at her clothes “Mama, it’s impolite not to reciprocate. Papa invited me to the amusement park. It’s only right to invite him to the light show”

Her words left Sharon speechless.

Edwin smiled pleased with his daughter’s response.

Irene smiled back. “Daddy, cook quickly so we can go after dinner.”

She’d been testing her dad on behalf of her mom for a while. Despite his past mistakes he seemed to genuinely care now. Irene felt her dad was more suitable for her mom than anyone else

“Alright,” Edwin sud, heading to the kitchen

Sharon, feeling taken advantage of, could only watch in silence.
