However, Sharon noticed that Stanley's expression had started to change ever since Howard entered the house. From what she observed, his expression was one of forbearance, and he had a sneer in his gaze.
As for Howard, it was as if he didn't see Stanley's 'threatening' gaze, and he happily complimented, "Sharon, your maid's culinary skills are truly amazing. This dish is so delicious!"
Calmly, Sharon replied, "If you enjoy it so much, you can have more."
Of course, Howard was delighted to do so.
However, the little nanny seated next to Howard was trembling with fear, and she didn't even dare to look directly at any of them as if there were some dreadful monsters in the house.
However, Sharon felt that Stanley's attitude was even more suspicious. Although he seemed calm and unruffled on the surface, she understood him well, and his gaze was clearly filled with a murderous look.
A moment later, Sharon cleared her throat and asked, "Dr. Perkins, why did you bring your nanny here? What's your... relationship with her?"
"My nanny? Oh, she had a miserable day today because her boyfriend dumped her and kicked her out. Other than that, he even drove her out, and she now has no place to sleep."
At that moment, Howard knew that Sharon was trying to pry into his relationship with the little nanny, so he smiled and said, "I just felt that she was pitiful, so I brought her along. Well leave after we finish eating."
Turned out that her ex-boyfriend was a jerk.
Sympathetically, Sharon glanced over at her and said, "You can eat however much you want and don't feel reserved."
The little nanny was so touched that she was about to cry, but that at the same time, she felt very guilty because Sharon was a really nice and pretty sister. Why would Dr. Perkins want to scheme against the couple so badly?
When Sharon saw the babysitter's evasive gaze, her eyes narrowed.
That meal that they had that night was weird.
After the meal, Sharon cleaned up the dishes and entered the kitchen. When the little nanny's eyes met Stanley's cold gaze, she was so terrified that she almost burst into tears on the spot, so she ran straight to the kitchen after she said, "I'm going to help Sharon with the dishes."
The safest place was to stay next to Sharon.
"Pft..." With a chuckle, Howard uttered, "Don't scare her to tears. That young lady can't take it."
However, Stanley glanced at him and said, "You, follow me."
Silently, Howard followed him to the balcony, but he knew that Stanley must be filled with anger.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Sharon didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You're a guest. How can I let you help me with the dishes? You can go out and watch TV while I'll do the dishes."
"Don't worry. I do the dishes often." After that, the little nanny skillfully did the dishes.
Then, Sharon decided to let her do as she pleased.
"What's your name?" Politely, Sharon asked.
Sweetly, the little nanny replied, "I'm Elaine."
It was a name that suited her sweet personality.
After a long pause, Sharon asked, "Do you know my husband?"
With a bang, the bowl in the hand of Elaine fell. In fact, she was just a weak young lady. When Elaine heard Sharon's question, she was terrified, and she couldn't hide the expression on her face, so she looked at Sharon timidly.
Meanwhile, Sharon's heart throbbed. It was just a casual conversation, but she did not expect to actually get something fishy out of it.
"Don't be afraid. I'm just curious." Then, Sharon comforted her, "How did you get to know my husband?"
Immediately, Elaine burst into tears. "Sharon, nothing happened between your husband and me. Don't misunderstand. It's all Dr. Perkins's fault, and you can scold him if you want. Please don't scold me."
Taken aback, Sharon asked, "What does it have to do with Howard?"
On the balcony, Stanley's expression darkened a little. "You know that woman?"
Immediately, Stanley walked over and wanted to hold her hand.
However, Sharon's face was expressionless as she withdrew her hand. "I don't want to repeat my question."
At this point, Stanley couldn't keep it a secret anymore, so he closed his eyes and answered, "I was in the hotel, taking a bath." "To wipe out the evidence?"
"I'm afraid that you'll overthink. Sharon, trust me, how could I have touched another woman?" Then, Stanley started to become anxious.
With her lips pursed, Sharon looked at him. "I heard everything that Howard said just now. He said that you held his little nanny in your arms and insisted on sleeping with her... and he even said that you were drunk. Stanley, whenever a man gets drunk, he would do some terrible things..."
"I didn't!"
Instantly, Stanley interrupted her. "I know very well whether I've touched any other woman or not. Don't think too much. It's all nonsense!"
That morning, when Stanley saw a woman lying next to him, he really did panic for a moment. When he thought that he had done Sharon wrong, he threatened the woman and told her not to cause any trouble.
Later, when he returned to the hotel to take a bath, he calmed down and remembered that his clothes were intact, and even his coat was not removed...
Besides, that little nanny was all clean and neat. At first glance, he knew that she was well dressed, and she didn't seem to have had anything done with him..."
Later on, when he slowly regained fragments of his memories, he was sure that he slept alone yesterday and no woman slept next to him. Moreover, Howard wouldn't really dare to shove a woman into his arms. Also, he wouldn't have done a thing if he didn't want to be killed by Stanley.
It was just that Sharon did not believe him now.
After she heard Howard's deliberate words, she definitely wouldn't believe him.
At that moment, the problem Stanley gave a headache, so he massaged his temples. Then as he was about to say something, Sharon suddenly threw herself at him and fell into his arms.
Meanwhile, Stanley subconsciously extended his hand to hold her.
