Sharon felt alarmed and terrified at Jameson's words "Do you like me?" as if it was "When do you want to die tonight?" or "How do you prefer to die?"
She licked her lips and sensed a smell of wine.
"Mr.Proctor, are you drunk?" Jameson's eyes fixed on her, and he didn't say a word.
Sharon made a tentative push, "Must be, right? Otherwise, why are you joking with me like this?" Jameson sneered and slowly let go of her.
He loosened his tie and said, "You think I'm joking with you?" "Isn't that so?" Sharon tried to justify it, "I can't see what's the point of asking me this.If I say I like you, you will definitely regard me as delusional.If I say I don't, you will think that I'm being conceited.Since there's no way of answering it right, how about you tell me what kind of answer you wanna hear? Then I'll do as told."
Jameson looked at her coldly, "Are you this calculative while you are with Martin?"
"Not really..." Because technically they've never been together.
Besides, who knew what this jerk was up to, so she naturally wanted to protect herself first.
"Mr.Proctor, there's nothing between me and Martin.Also, he is engaged now.Please don't take it the wrong way." Sharon stressed.
Jameson remained indifferent, "Is that so?"
"Of course!"
"Since you are so innocent, who is the First Love collection designed for?" Sharon felt resigned.
She argued, "It is for the general public, not specifically someone.Mr.Proctor is holding on to this just because of the name of this series.Are you jealous too?"
Jameson puckered his lips and his eyes darkened.
Just then, Sharon also realized that her question was a bit abrupt, even dangerous to some extent.
Just as she was about to say something to make up for it, Jameson answered in a calm manner, "What if I am?"
Sharon felt perplexed, "What?"
What did he just say? Jameson said, "Sharon, you know what I mean."
Sharon paused and then said, "But you said that liking can't prove anything, right?"
"Yes, but I can make you my wife and your position will be secured."
"But even so, I can't make public that I give birth to this child, can I?" Jameson didn't say anything, but Sharon knew his answer very well.
His liking was to bring them back to how things were before the divorce.
Just like what she thought, Jameson was simply used to her being around and her obedience.
He was simply used to have someone waiting for him every time he returned to Star Lake Mansion.
Habit was terrifying indeed.
Sharon pushed, "Then tell me what you plan to do with this child? Give me a definite answer.’
Jameson paused for a while and said, "Send him away after birth."
Sharon probably didn't see this coming.
After a while, she said, "The precondition is that the Proctor family won't discover this before the baby is born, right?"
"Yes"
This time, Sharon remained silent for a long time.
"Jameson, though I might be overconfident to say this,’ she choked out, "He is not just my child.Haven't you ever thought of his coming to this world, safe and sound?"
