Dumping 347

Chapter 347

Edwin’s injuries on his hands were quite severe, with bruises and skin grazes. The same could be seen on other parts of his body.

As Sharon applied the medicine. Irene leaned over to blow gently on Edwin’s injuries, Edwin, in turn, casually lifted his pants to reveal bruises on his leg, Irene remarked sympathetically. “Daddy is so pitiful,” pretending to wipe her eyes.

“It’s done.” Sharon said after finishing the medicine application.

Edwin quickly extended his arm in front of her.

Irene fell silent and thought. In terms of shamelessness. Daddy was the best.

Sharon lowered her head, examining the bruised hand in front of her. It does look quite serious, she nodded. Sharon couldn’t ignore the hand extended right before her eyes any longer. “Here’s some medicine for you: she handed it over.

Edwin fell silent, his heart felt a pang of sourness, but he silently took the ointment. Without avoiding Sharon, he began applying it. After treating his hands and feet, he unbuttoned his collar, revealing a beautiful collarbone and taut skin.

While applying the ointment, he massaged it gently, moving slowly, his Adam’s apple subtly bobbing—a display of masculine charm. Even onlookers from afar couldn’t help but be drawn to his seemingly casual yet deliberate movements, which stirred desires. He positioned himself so that Irene couldn’t see, focusing his display only on Sharon. She found herself comered by him, captivated by his every move, unable to look away.

“Sharon,” a voice calling from behind just as Edwin was engrossed in applying the ointment.

Sharon, who Edwin had cornered, looked up suddenly. Her expressionless face seemed to bloom like a flower before him, quickly revealing a bright smile. “Mr. Gildon, why are you here?”

“It’s not like you’re about to go abroad? I wanted to see you before I left and bid you farewell Ray leaned against the railing, his smile fitting his elegant facial features. Half his hair was swept back, with his fringe partially covering his face, adding to his handsome and charming appearance.

“Mr. Gildon.” Irene called out as well.

“Hey there, Irene,” Ray greeted with a nod, his gaze briefly passing over Edwin. “Edwin’s here too, huh,” he added, his tone noticeably subdued.

“Yeah” Edwin’s handsome face quickly darkened, showing a stormy expression “Aren’t you supposed to be leaving soon? Shouldn’t you be going!”

Ray naturally picked up on Edwin’s displeasure in his voice. He smiled, revealing dazzling teeth, looking even more graceful and charming “Can’t help it when you’re thinking of someone,” he remarked casually.

Edwin was speechless and thought, Well, he’s got nerver

Edwin knew very well that Ray was here to provoke him. He couldn’t help but snort. “Acting so conspicuously, aren’t you afraid of running into trouble!” It was a clear hint.

Kay maintained a calm smile, looking as if he didn’t understand. “In this world, can ghosts be scarier than people? If people aren’t afraid, why bother fearing ghosts?” He chuckled warmly, appearing straightforward and clear. Though seemingly without any implications, his words conveyed everything

“Sharon, what do you think?” Ray deliberately stirred Edwin’s emotions, involving Sharon in the conversation.

Sharon nodded graciously. “Mr. Gildon is right,” she replied politely, trying to maintain a diplomatic stance,

Edwin was speechless, his mind filled with jealousy. He thought, “Stay Cildon can say whatever he wants; she’ll just ignore anything I say!

Kay duckled softly. His laughter wasn’t just because Sharon seemed to be on his side but also because Edwin appeared to be at a loss. From childhood until now, except for the year when his eyes were an issue, Edwin had always been the exceptional child in the eyes of adults. He, Edric Greenwood, and other children always seemed destined to be ounhone and overshadowed.

“Since that’s the case, why don’t we have a meal together?” He extended the invitation to Shuron. “Mommy!” Before Ray could finish his sentence,

Irene called out

She thought. “If we rat with Mr. Gildon, Daddy will be left alone. That would be too pitiful”

Ray crouched and gently patted Irene’s head, saying, “Mr. Gildon is going to a faraway place. Irene, won’t you have a meal with me before I go! It’s not easy for me to see you again in the future”

Irene fell silent and was in a dilemuna. She thought, “On one hand, there’s Mr. Gildon, whom I won’t see for a long time. On the other hand, there’s daddy. Who should I lean towards? Well, I’ll listen to Mommy Irene did not say anymore.

10.24 AM

Chapter 347

“Since Mr. Gildon is treating us, we should go eat, Sharon politely said. Afterward, she reached out and pulled Irene over. “Well then. Mr. Stanley, goodbye.”

Edwin was speechless, and he thought. What a heartless woman! Was a meal that important?

“I guess you’re giving Edwin a chance now?” Ray asked as they walked outside, taking advantage of Irene’s distraction with someone else’s pet.

“I’m not.” Sharon denied. In the short term, I just want to focus on my career and don’t have any plans for a relationship”

“I see.” Ray’s lips quirked into a silent flattening. He thought. Sharon didn’t want to give Edwin a chance and blocked his path completely

The three of them soon arrived at the restaurant. It was still carly, not noon, so there weren’t many people dining. The restaurant was sparsely populated, with only a few tables occupied intermittently

Ray seated both of them at a window–side table. As they settled in, a shadow flashed at the adjacent rable, and someone sat down. Sharon hadn’t been paying attention to the neighboring table, but she felt the gaze directed toward them and couldn’t help bait glance over. When she recognized the man’s face, she felt a slight tingling in her forehead. Edwin had followed them here.

!

Ray took out his phone to scan the menu on the table and place their order. Across from them, Edwin remained still, his gaze fixed directly on her. The tables were not far apart, making it difficult for Sharon to ignore his presence.

Sharon rubbed her forehead. She thought, “Wasn’t Edwin always known for his aloof demeanor What’s with this puppy–eyed look now! Did he give up his aloofness? Sharon turned her head away, not wanting to indulge Edwin, pretending not to see

Ray was focused on placing their order and ignored Edwin’s presence. Katowing Sharon wouldn’t disclose her preferences, Ray occasionally asked Irene for opinions. Irene made her selection and then noticed Edwin; her eyes lit up with recognition.

The waiter arrived with a serving cart just in time. Soon, their table was filled with various dishes, filling the air with enticing aromas. Meanwhile, Edwin’s side had nothing but a glass of water.

The scene was stark and dismal, almost pitifully so. While adults could easily overlook it, how could Irene, being a child, ignore her father! Unable to resist, she nudged Ray and said. “Mr. Gildon, my dad looks so sad. Let him join us for dinner, please”

Ray finally turned his head, noticing Edwin sitting with just a glass of water. He couldn’t help but smile knowingly, teasing. “Edwin, what’s going on? You’re at a restaurant but only drinking water! Trying to lose weight!”

“I’m not; I just didn’t bring any money with me,” Edwin replied calmly, showing no hint of embarrassment on his face.

Ray chuckled and pointed at the phone lying on the table, saying, “It’s simple nowadays with mobile payments. As long as you have your phone

you’re covered.

“I don’t use mobile payments; it’s not secure,” Edwin said.

Ray was speechless..

“Does Daddy want to join us?” Irene glanced at the table full of delicious food before her, unable to resist extending the invitation directly.
