Chapter 36
Sharon raised her hand instinctively and swiftly delivered a backhand slap to the man’s face.
Tilda, It’s me!” The man cried out. He turned on the flashlight on his phone.
Sharon managed to make out a shape of a man with a crew cut. He wore a rough expression with a hint of arrogance.
The man was also able to see her face clearly in an instant, and his concerned gaze turned cokl. He pushed her away in disdain. “What are you : doing here!

Only then did Sharon recognize the person in

He took the same paper towel and wiped his hands clean in front of her.
He didn’t say it explicitly, but it was enough to let Sharan know that he was not happy to see her.
She knew better than to stick around and put up with his behavior, so she started to make her

BUL.
He flung the paper towel to the ground and stomped on it Twisting the napkin under his foot, he continued, ‘Do you really think by pretending to talk and dress like Tilda, Edwin would be more interested in you?”
He kicked the twisted napkin away, gazing sidelong at her. He rade no attempt to disguise the contempt in his eyes.
Sharon looked down at the Chanel dress she was wearing. It was not particularly luxurious or extravagant. Considering her finances, it wasn’t a stretch to own a few of these
As for her voice, she recalled that Alanna had said something similar before.
Edric didn’t let up on his vitriol. “Even an expensive dress can’t make you look good. You should stop making a fool of yourself”
He stuffed his hands into his pockets and started to walk off.
Sharon stopped him. “Edric.”
She walked up to him in a calm and collected manner and with a look of quiet amusement,
“Where do
you work?
Edric wasn’t sure he understood, so he looked at her in disbelief. How can anyone care about such trivial details after being mocked like that?
“You must have too much free time on your hands to stick your nose in other people’s business so much” Her comment threw him off guard, and he turned red in embarrassment. His air of arrogance disappeared
Edric was able to get away with his savage criticisms in the past because of his friendship with Edwin. Sharon had held back at that time on her husband’s account.
Now that she and Edwin were divorced, there was no reason for her to tolerate his friend’s condescending attitude.
Sharon pursed her lips before letting a smile spread across her face. It was plain to see that she didn’t think much of him.
“How dare you” He clenched his finis
Sharon didn’t give him a chance to continue, promptly interrupting. “Do you think everyone who wears Chanel is trying to pretend to be Ms. Gilp
Edric’s eyes wideurd. He was stumped. In his mind, Sharon was a meek and mild person, ignorant of the ways of the world. Even when he spoke harshly to her in front of Edwin, she never uttered a word in defence. Is this really the same person!
Edno had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth and was pampered ever since. He thought highly of himself and wasn’t used to being ridiculed. His face became tense and tight, and anger raged behind his eyes.
Sharon wasn’t about to stop though. She added, “Til also suggest that you get your cars checked out. You’ve heard my voice many times before but pull can’t recognize it. Oli, while you’re at it, get a brain scan too. As a respected miember of the Greenwood family, you have to maintain a certain level of intelligence. It wouldn’t be good to become the butt of jokes in the communit

Edric couldn’t respond fast enough and stared after her as she left. Finally, when he regained his bearings, he slammed his fist down on the railing
Sharon returned home after finishing her errands. She scooped Irene up in her arms and closed her eyes contentedly.
They planned to head to her dad’s home the next day so they’d have to get up early
Her sleep quality had actually been pretty poor.
When she lived with the Stanleys, Jasmine had ordered her to welcome Edwin when he came home. He always came back late, so she always wall up.

This was originally the servants duty, but at that time, she cared about Edwin and saw it as a chance to catch up with him at the end of his busy da so she had gladly agreed.
Edwin didn’t think of it the same way as her, and would frequently lose his remper if the door wasn’t opened immediately when he arrived. He didn’t hesitate to kick the door repeatedly to announce his displeasure either
Sharon was afraid to sleep deeply for fear that Irene would be startled by the loud banging. She would rush to the door at every possible sound or movement that might indicate Edwin was arriving
Despite being greeted with nothing but his cold, indifferent face time and time again, she had no complaints.
On nights when he stayed out until the morning without notice, she had stayed up all night too, just in

She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Meanwhile, at Nexus, Edwin was drowning his troubles in alcohol. Sharon’s words rang in his head,
When they got married, he never thought of her as his wife. To him, nothing had changed, and he had zero consideration for her welfare or even her existence.
Even during the ceremony, he was just going through the motions. When he got a call from Tilda, his instincts took over and he simply forgot about Sharon. The thought that Sharon might be pregnant or might not be able to return home never crossed his mind.
