Chapter 347
Edwinâs 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 Edwinâs injuries, Edwin, in turn, casually lifted his pants to reveal bruises on his leg, Irene remarked sympathetically. âDaddy is so pitiful,â pretending to wipe her eyes.
âItâs done.â 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 couldnât ignore the hand extended right before her eyes any longer. âHereâs 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 Adamâs apple subtly bobbingâa display of masculine charm. Even onlookers from afar couldnât help but be drawn to his seemingly casual yet deliberate movements, which stirred desires. He positioned himself so that Irene couldnât see, focusing his display only on Sharon. She found herself comered by him, captivated by his every move, unable to look away.
âSharon,â 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. âMr. Gildon, why are you here?â
âItâs not like youâre 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.
âMr. Gildon.â Irene called out as well.
âHey there, Irene,â Ray greeted with a nod, his gaze briefly passing over Edwin. âEdwinâs here too, huh,â he added, his tone noticeably subdued.
âYeahâ Edwinâs handsome face quickly darkened, showing a stormy expression âArenât you supposed to be leaving soon? Shouldnât you be going!â
Ray naturally picked up on Edwinâs displeasure in his voice. He smiled, revealing dazzling teeth, looking even more graceful and charming âCanât help it when youâre thinking of someone,â he remarked casually.
Edwin was speechless and thought, Well, heâs got nerver
Edwin knew very well that Ray was here to provoke him. He couldnât help but snort. âActing so conspicuously, arenât you afraid of running into trouble!â It was a clear hint.
Kay maintained a calm smile, looking as if he didnât understand. âIn this world, can ghosts be scarier than people? If people arenât afraid, why bother fearing ghosts?â He chuckled warmly, appearing straightforward and clear. Though seemingly without any implications, his words conveyed everything
âSharon, what do you think?â Ray deliberately stirred Edwinâs emotions, involving Sharon in the conversation.
Sharon nodded graciously. âMr. Gildon is right,â she replied politely, trying to maintain a diplomatic stance,
Edwin was speechless, his mind filled with jealousy. He thought, âStay Cildon can say whatever he wants; sheâll just ignore anything I say!
Kay duckled softly. His laughter wasnât 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.
âSince thatâs the case, why donât we have a meal together?â He extended the invitation to Shuron. âMommy!â Before Ray could finish his sentence,
Irene called out
She thought. âIf we rat with Mr. Gildon, Daddy will be left alone. That would be too pitifulâ
Ray crouched and gently patted Ireneâs head, saying, âMr. Gildon is going to a faraway place. Irene, wonât you have a meal with me before I go! Itâs not easy for me to see you again in the futureâ
Irene fell silent and was in a dilemuna. She thought, âOn one hand, thereâs Mr. Gildon, whom I wonât see for a long time. On the other hand, thereâs daddy. Who should I lean towards? Well, Iâll listen to Mommy Irene did not say anymore.
10.24 AM
Chapter 347
âSince Mr. Gildon is treating us, we should go eat, Sharon politely said. Afterward, she reached out and pulled Irene over. âWell then. Mr. Stanley, goodbye.â
Edwin was speechless, and he thought. What a heartless woman! Was a meal that important?
âI guess youâre giving Edwin a chance now?â Ray asked as they walked outside, taking advantage of Ireneâs distraction with someone elseâs pet.
âIâm not.â Sharon denied. In the short term, I just want to focus on my career and donât have any plans for a relationshipâ
âI see.â Rayâs lips quirked into a silent flattening. He thought. Sharon didnât 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 werenât many people dining. The restaurant was sparsely populated, with only a few tables occupied intermittently
Ray seated both of them at a windowâside table. As they settled in, a shadow flashed at the adjacent rable, and someone sat down. Sharon hadnât been paying attention to the neighboring table, but she felt the gaze directed toward them and couldnât help bait glance over. When she recognized the manâs 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, âWasnât Edwin always known for his aloof demeanor Whatâs with this puppyâeyed 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 Edwinâs presence. Katowing Sharon wouldnât 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, Edwinâs 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. âMr. Gildon, my dad looks so sad. Let him join us for dinner, pleaseâ
Ray finally turned his head, noticing Edwin sitting with just a glass of water. He couldnât help but smile knowingly, teasing. âEdwin, whatâs going on? Youâre at a restaurant but only drinking water! Trying to lose weight!â
âIâm not; I just didnât bring any money with me,â Edwin replied calmly, showing no hint of embarrassment on his face.
Ray chuckled and pointed at the phone lying on the table, saying, âItâs simple nowadays with mobile payments. As long as you have your phone
youâre covered.
âI donât use mobile payments; itâs not secure,â Edwin said.
Ray was speechless..
âDoes Daddy want to join us?â Irene glanced at the table full of delicious food before her, unable to resist extending the invitation directly.
