Chapter 100: Since You've Asked
Mary shook her head and said, "She must have a bad temper.Why didn't she clam down and talk to you? What happened after that? Did you go find her?"
"Yes.”
"Then did she go back with you?"
"No.She is pregnant with my child and is dating someone else."
Mary was shocked and slapped her thigh.
She said angrily, "Are you kidding? How could she do that? She should not date another man even if you are having a fight.She's cheating on you! It's bigamy! She's carrying your baby.Oh, she..."
Sharon, who had been sitting aside and listening, could not help but add, "They had got divorced.’ Mary replied immediately, "Even if they got divorced, she should not...Wait...They had got divorced?"
Mary paused for a moment and asked in disbelief, "Jameson, you have got divorced?"
Jameson glanced at Sharon and nodded.
"Well..."
At this moment, Charlotte came out.
Mary had a loud voice, so Charlotte could hear her in the kitchen.
She felt it was embarrassing, so she made an excuse and got Mary away.
They went to Mary's home.
As they entered the door, Mary said, "Charlotte, I still had something to say to Jameson.I didn't expect him to be divorced.Don't you care about your son?"
"Both of them are divorced." Charlotte sighed.
"That's right."
Mary lowered her voice, "Hey, Charlotte.I think Jameson and Sharon are good for each other.Jameson is single now.I'll ask him next time.Maybe he..."
"Mary,’ Charlotte held her arm, "Didn't you see that they're talking about each other?"
"What..."
"They came from the South City.Both of them are divorced.She is pregnant and has left her husband, and he is here to look for his wife.Do you understand now?"
Mary didn't know what to Say.
She had just accepted the fact that Jameson was Charlotte's son.Now she was lost in thought again.
After a while, she said doubtfully, "You mean ...Sharon's irresponsible ex-husband is..."
Charlotte nodded, "I didn't ask much about what happened.But I've talked to Sharon before.There seemed to be a misunderstanding between them.Jameson only believes what he sees.I don't know how to persuade him.’ Mary was not listening to Charlotte.Mary suddenly patted her forehead as she remembered that she had tried to get Sharon and Julian together in front of Jameson.And she had even cursed Sharon's ex-husband…”
She panicked.
Why did she do that? However, someone was even more embarrassed than Mary.
It was Sharon.
She was still in the courtyard, wondering whether she should leave or stay.
She didn't expect Mary to say those words.
What was worse, Sharon had offended Jameson not long ago.
This man spoke as if he was the victim.
He was cold and unfeeling.
He asked her to have an abortion, so she ran away.
But now he was talking as if it was her fault.
Jameson met her gaze.
He said in a flat tone, "What do you want to say?"
Sharon stared at him, "Mr.Proctor, you are a good liar.You came here for the acquisition, didn't you? But you told people that you were here for me.What you said was ...very misleading."
"What do you mean by ‘misleading’? Did it make you feel that I like you?"
Sharon didn't reply.He was right.
She felt that Jameson liked her.She thought that Jameson would mock her, as he always did.
However, he said in a soft voice, "Sharon, sometimes ‘I like you' doesn't mean anything."
In Jameson's eyes, she might be less important than a business document, even if he liked her.
Sharon lowered her head and kept silent.
Jameson was confused, "You've got the answer you want.Is there anything you want to say?"
After a while, Sharon said, "But you said it means nothing.’’
He was on a whim, or he had just taken her as a possession.
He was no better than Asher.Jameson stared at her.
Then he said, "Sharon, I think you should have a brain checkup the next time you go to the hospital.You have taken too much junk food.It might have made you slow in thinking."
Sharon was pissed off.He started to mock her again.
Sharon wanted to retort, but Charlotte came back.
After staying downstairs for a few days, Jameson asked for moving to the second floor, saying that the first floor was too humid.
Charlotte would not help him, so he turned to Sharon.
There were only two rooms on the second floor.
Sharon occupied one, and the one next to her room was vacant.
Sharon felt that Jameson had some secret plans, but she didn't know how to refuse him.
Sharon still owed him a favor on the matter of Ruben's admission letter, so she could only suppress her anger and help making his bed.
Jameson stayed there for half a month.
Sharon heard from Mary that the purchase case had settled down.
There would be an official announcement.
And people would start to move out.
Sharon thought that Jameson would soon leave here.
One morning, when Sharon walked out of her room, she saw Jameson leaning against the door of his room.
He looked tired.
The man asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the hospital.I have an antenatal checkup.’
Then she deliberately asked, "Does Mr.Proctor want to go with me?"
Jameson said, "Since you've asked, I will go with you.’ Sharon was surprised.
She shouldn't have asked him.She would rather go by herself.
Jameson said, "Wait for me downstairs.I'll change my clothes."
"OK."
It was early in the morning and Sharon felt sleepy.
She yawned as she got out of the door.
A neighbor passed by and said, "Sharon, good morning.You have got up early today."
Sharon smiled and said, "Yes.I'm having a walk.’
"Why are you alone? Where's Mr.Proctor?" Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Sharon paused when she heard that.
Mary had told many people about their matter, so now everyone living in the street knew that they were a couple.
It did bring some convenience.
She didn't have to explain when she went out with Jameson, though she was forced to do it.
At this moment, Jameson showed up.
The neighbor smiled and said, "I knew it.Well, have a good day.Bye."
After she left, Jameson looked at Sharon and said, "You haven't had breakfast.’
Sharon collected herself and said, "The checkup today is to be taken on an empty stomach.But Charlotte should have prepared the breakfast.You can..."
Jameson stepped forward and interrupted her, "Let's go."
