Chapter 335
âIs it just for him that you came?â â1
The voice was as cold as ice.
Sharon had spent four years in the Stanley family, facing Edwinâs coldness almost every day. She was used to it and calmly nodded. âYeahâ
Just a simple yeah? How come you agreed so readily? Edwin bellowed inwardly and felt like he had been stabbed hard with a knife. The joy and excitement from earlier vanished without a trace. All that was left was an overwhelming sense of suffocation, like a chest full of rocks, hard and cold, making it difficult to breathe.
Sharon didnât miss Edwinâs subtle changes. After several years of being around him, the could tell when he was angry. In the past, she would have been nervous and at a loss, wracking her brain to find ways to calm his temper. But now, she had no such intentions. She silently drank her coffee, waiting for him to explode.
âSince youâre here, letâs have lunch together,â said Edwin, Shuron waited for what felt like ages, only to hear him say this. He pushed his chair back. strode over to the coat rack, and took off his coat, draping it over his arm.
Sharon looked at Edwin in surprise. She didnât expect he would invite her to hunch instead of getting angry.
Just as Edwin turned away, Sharon thought he might leave silently as he had done in the past, without saying a word. However, he only glanced at Sharon his eyes held a hint of helplessness. âIf thereâs something, letâs discuss it over a full stomachâ
Outside the door, Felix hesitated. He had come mainly because the secretary relayed Edwinâs message. Felix realized Sharon meant a lot to Edwin, and he felt guilty for having a female secretary serve coffee. He wanted to apologize and make amends. But as he reached the door, he saw the two of them at oddy
Felix was no stranger to such situations, but he couldnât just walk in. He stood there, unsure of what to do. He was astonished, wondering. âIs this really Mr. Stanley! The usually aloof Mr. Stanley being so gentle! Even when provoked by a rival, he prioritizes his loved oneâs needs? This doesnât seem like the Mr. Stanley I know!
âIve extenâ Sharon stayed where she was.
Edwin approached and leaned towards her. Sharon didnât understand what he was trying to do and was frightened, so she moved aside. His nose landed on her clothes, and he sniffed lightly. âWith Ray?â
Sharon looked at Edwin as if he were a monster, wondering, You can smell Ray on me or something? But then she said straightforwardly, âYeah.â There was no point in hiding it.
Edwinâs face darkened again. Seeing him like this, Sharon knew he wasnât someone to mess with when he was not in the mood. She wasnât afraid for herself, though. What worried her was that he might take it out on Ray. She had come here to help Ray and couldnât afford to stir up trouble. Thinking quickly, Sharon said, âRay and I are just pretending to be a couple. Your threeâway mess theory is not happening.
âPretending?â Edwinâs expression softened slightly at Shuronâs explanation, but the darkness lingered. Even if it was just pretend, he wasnât pleased. but he decided not to push it. Given Sharonâs current attitude towards him, saying anything would only make her despise him more, so he pressed the urge. âAnyway, youâre going to have lunch with me. No lunch, no deal! With that, he turned and headed out. He knew threatening her wouldnât be right, but without any threats, he couldnât find any idea for her to stay with him.
At the doorway, Felix muttered inwardly. Mr. Stanley is shameless indeed:
Sharon sighed as she watched Edwin walk away. You refused when I hoped and dreamt of being with you. Now causing one scene after another when I donât have any feelings for you. Fine, I will show some sympathy to this lonely soul. Reluctantly, she followed him.
âK. Kay?â In the narrow corridor, Camila, who had been following Ray, didnât expect him to turn Isack. Caught off guard, she briefly showed embarrassment and shyness on her face before quickly regaining her composure. âI didnât expect see you here.
Kay looked her with deep eyes, his face expression no longer warm, but cold as ice, Camila felt guilty under his gaze, her fists clenched as she coughed aufly Each cough sounded weak and short of breath, pitiful. She coughed and secretly observed Rayâs changing expression. There was no trace of his former tenderurss on his face. Camila frownied slightly, her eyes filled with sorrow, trembling as if about to fall like a forsaken animal, pruful. Even so, Hay kept lus distance from her.
Camila had to muster up her courage. I admit, Iâve been following you. I did it because I care about you? She looked up at Ray with pleading eyes, looking innocent
âI know y
youâve been bullied by Mr. Stanley lately, and I wanted to help you, Camila said, bating her lip i of tears. âI knew youâd be upset, but I still went to see Mi. Cina. Tim sorry, I just care about you too much. I canât stand to see you being treated like
lip in frustration, her eyes red and on the verge this. As her words fell silent, Kayâs brows suddenly furrowed tightly.

âI just wanted to help you, Camila pleaded. Her voice had just fallen silent when Ray quickly interrupted, âOur relationship ended long ago. I made it clear last time. From now on, donât show up in front of her in any way!â His words were calm, without any emotion. He didnât even look at Camila again. With that, he turned and walked away.
Camila swayed, looking at Ray. He had clearly intended to come in for shopping, but now he preferred to leave to avoid her.â
Unable to hold back her tears, Camila cried softly, âI know you hate that I married someone against your wishes, but I was forced to by the Gildons I had no other choice! She ran up to Ray and hugged him from behind. âRay, do you know how hard these years have been for me? I love you, but I have to be with another man. Itâs like a living hell.
Ray didnât move, bowing his head to look at her tightly clasped hands. âAre you sure?â
âWhat do you mean?â Camila looked at Ray with innocent eyes. Donât you believe that Iâve been suffering? Donât you believe that I love you? Iâve been enduring staying in that house all this time just to give you space to grow. I know Iâm not capable, so I could only hope youâd become strong enough to save meâ
âI believe you.â Ray suddenly smiled, holding Camilaâs hand and pulling her in front of him. âSo, you love me so much that even if I have nothing. youâre willing to be with me, right?â
âWell I am willing!â Camila hesitated visibly for a few seconds before norkling-
Ray saw this small change in her and smiled even more deeply. He nodded and took out his phone in front of Camila. âAlright then, Iâll call my father and grandfather right now. Iâll willingly give up everything. Starting tomorrow, Iâll go our and find a job. You divorce that man. Weâll leave here together and live an ordinary life as a couple. Maybe I canât give you a life of luxury, but at least weâll never be apart. With that, he pressed numbers on his phone.
