Chapter 335
“Is it just for him that you came?” “1
The voice was as cold as ice.
Sharon had spent four years in the Stanley family, facing Edwin’s coldness almost every day. She was used to it and calmly nodded. “Yeah”
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 didn’t miss Edwin’s 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.
“Since you’re here, let’s have lunch together,” 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 didn’t 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. “If there’s something, let’s discuss it over a full stomach”
Outside the door, Felix hesitated. He had come mainly because the secretary relayed Edwin’s 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 couldn’t just walk in. He stood there, unsure of what to do. He was astonished, wondering. “Is this really Mr. Stanley! The usually aloof Mr. Stanley being so gentle! Even when provoked by a rival, he prioritizes his loved one’s needs? This doesn’t seem like the Mr. Stanley I know!
“Ive exten” Sharon stayed where she was.
Edwin approached and leaned towards her. Sharon didn’t understand what he was trying to do and was frightened, so she moved aside. His nose landed on her clothes, and he sniffed lightly. “With Ray?”
Sharon looked at Edwin as if he were a monster, wondering, You can smell Ray on me or something? But then she said straightforwardly, “Yeah.” There was no point in hiding it.
Edwin’s face darkened again. Seeing him like this, Sharon knew he wasn’t someone to mess with when he was not in the mood. She wasn’t afraid for herself, though. What worried her was that he might take it out on Ray. She had come here to help Ray and couldn’t afford to stir up trouble. Thinking quickly, Sharon said, “Ray and I are just pretending to be a couple. Your three–way mess theory is not happening.
“Pretending?” Edwin’s expression softened slightly at Shuron’s explanation, but the darkness lingered. Even if it was just pretend, he wasn’t pleased. but he decided not to push it. Given Sharon’s current attitude towards him, saying anything would only make her despise him more, so he pressed the urge. “Anyway, you’re going to have lunch with me. No lunch, no deal! With that, he turned and headed out. He knew threatening her wouldn’t be right, but without any threats, he couldn’t 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 don’t have any feelings for you. Fine, I will show some sympathy to this lonely soul. Reluctantly, she followed him.
“K. Kay?” In the narrow corridor, Camila, who had been following Ray, didn’t expect him to turn Isack. Caught off guard, she briefly showed embarrassment and shyness on her face before quickly regaining her composure. “I didn’t 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 Ray’s 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, I’ve been following you. I did it because I care about you? She looked up at Ray with pleading eyes, looking innocent
“I know y
you’ve been bullied by Mr. Stanley lately, and I wanted to help you, Camila said, bating her lip i of tears. “I knew you’d be upset, but I still went to see Mi. Cina. Tim sorry, I just care about you too much. I can’t stand to see you being treated like
lip in frustration, her eyes red and on the verge this. As her words fell silent, Kay’s brows suddenly furrowed tightly.

“I just wanted to help you, Camila pleaded. Her voice had just fallen silent when Ray quickly interrupted, “Our relationship ended long ago. I made it clear last time. From now on, don’t show up in front of her in any way!” His words were calm, without any emotion. He didn’t even look at Camila again. With that, he turned and walked away.
