Jimmy raised his hand and made a gesture of surrender. "Okay, I won't say anything later. I will put up a cold and indifferent expression as you do. Is that okay?"
"Hmph!" Stanley snorted.
Jimmy was speechless and complaint inwardly. "You're so childish. What is there to be jealous of?"
Jackson glanced at him and said, "Wherever you go, you flirt. You deserve to be cursed!"
Jimmy felt wronged and said, "Hey, is it my fault for being a ladies' man?"
Both men glared at him.
Realizing that his words might offend them, Jimmy went to Howard sheepishly without a word.
When there were only two people left, Jackson took a sip of wine and said, "Where is your wife from?"
Stanley rubbed his eyebrows and replied casually, "I think her hometown is at Jackinson, and she's studying in Beachmarsh City. Why?"
Jackson smiled and said, "Nothing. I'm just wondering."
However, he was even more skeptical. He had only been to Jackinson once, and he was there to carry out his mission in the remote forests. It was impossible for him to meet Sharon.
But why did he find her so familiar?
After thinking for a long time, he didn't come up with a clue.
On the other hand, in the corridor, Sharon, who was standing as still as a statue, slowly regained her composure as the man got closer and closer. Her first reaction was not to stand there and take the initiative to greet him.
Instead, she turned around and walked away.
She didn't know why she did this, but she could not help hiding in the corner.
It turned out that it was not an illusion.
Everything happened was true.
Shawn was really in Beachmarsh City.
Sharon's heart was in a mess. These days, because of the incident with Jewel and Melody's injury, she had no time to think about Shawn, so she temporarily put aside the unexpected encounter with him that day.
Deep in her heart, whatever happened on the street the other day must be a dream and illusion.
But it was not.
She saw clearly that it was Shawn and recognized him at the first glance.
His appearance had been engraved in her heart, and she would never forget it for the rest of her life.
She walked faster and faster until she almost ran.
With an abrupt and loud bang, she bumped into a waitress who came out of a room.
"Oh my god!" The waitress exclaimed, and the expensive wine in her hand spilled all over the floor. She complained indignantly, "Are you blind? Do you not see where you're heading?"
Sharon immediately apologized. "I'm sorry."
After that, she was about to leave.
The waitress pulled her and said, "Hold on. Do you want to leave now? You knocked over my things! Don't you think you should compensate me first?"
Sharon's mind was buzzing. She opened her mouth and was about to speak when a man's voice sounded behind her with a gasp, "Sharon?"
Sharon suddenly froze.
It was very dark in the corridor, and the dim illumination made it very blurry that one could hardly see her face from a far distance.
Shawn walked over step by step and felt that he must have drunk too much and had mistaken her for someone else.
He had dinner with some friends and they brought him here for some extra entertainment after dinner. He drank one glass too many and wanted to come out to take a smoke to sober himself up. Unexpectedly, he saw a woman's back from afar, which looked very much like Sharon, so he hurried to catch up with her.
"Sharon..." Shawn reached out to grab her. "Is it you?"
Sharon took a deep breath and turned back with a smile on her face. "Sir, are you talking to me?"
Shawn was stunned.
The stubborn Stanley huffed, "It's not like this is some lawless venue. She just went to the restroom. What could have happened?"
"You're right." Jackson smiled and said, "Although this place is better than an ordinary nightclub, there may be some rich dudes who are out of their minds who take a fancy to Sharon's beauty and forcibly snatch her back to be their wife. You know, like what's shown on TV."
"You've watched too many soap operas," said Stanley with contempt.
Jackson shrugged and said, "Then just pretend that I didn't say anything."
Stanley lowered his gaze, but his mind was not in the room at all. He was a little annoyed and wondered why Sharon was such a troublemaker to take so long to go to the restroom.
One minute passed.
Two minutes.
Three minutes later, Stanley who sat still all the while got up and went straight out.
Jackson teased, "Where are you going?"
Stanley said grumpily, "I've drunk too much. I need to use the restroom."
Jackson shook his head and chuckled in amusement at the stubborn and childish Stanley.
"Let me go!"
Shawn was embracing Sharon tighter and tighter as if he wanted to infuse her into his body.
She was so flustered that she pushed him with great effort. "Let me go! Do you hear me!"
Shawn held her tightly and smelled the familiar odor on her body. He was almost crazy. He had finally found her after so much effort. How could he let her go!
Every cell in his body was clamoring to hold her tightly and never let go!
Men were naturally stronger than women. Even Shawn, who was drunk, could hold Sharon tightly and prevent her from escaping. Her petite body was almost crushed by his enormous strength.
Sharon was not a little girl who knew nothing about the world, nor was she the naive girl who didn't understand anything when she was with Shawn.
Now she could clearly feel the strong lustful desire from Shawn.
