Chapter 354
At six in the morning, Sharon walked out of the house with a small basket. His father, Ethan, had recently caught a cold and coughed. Sharon feared his condition would worsen if he went out, so she rushed to the farmerâs market early to buy groceries
Sharon could buy everything online since her company had an eâcommerce business and had done a lot of direct sales of agricultural products. She could get the freshest products on her doorstep with a few swipes. However, Ethan was worried. He felt it was better for him to choose it himself. Sharon was not as good as him at picking highâquality products. Therefore, their family stuck to going to a farmerâs market to buy groceries.
Getting up at six oâclock was not an easy task for Sharon. As she pushed open the door, a figure suddenly appeared. At first, Sharon thought it was a neighbor who woke up early. However, when she focused her eyes, she was stunned. âEdwin?â
âWhat is he doing here so early in the morning!
Edwin turned around. His face was in a daze as if he was also surprised to be there.
âHave you been drinking?â Sharon rarely saw him in such a dazed state. So, she could not help but ask with a guarded look.
âNo! He dropped the cigarette between his long fingers. Only then did Sharon notice there were many cigarette butts in the trash can. She couldnât help but turn her face to the side in surprise. She remembered Edwin was the type of man who loved cleanliness and rarely touched cigarettes. But the scene before her said otherwise.
âI just walked around casually. I didnât plan to end up here. 1 Edwin took a step forward and his arm was almost touching hers. When Sharon felt the wind from his movements, she could not help but shiver.
âHow long has he been standing here in the cold!
âMr. Stanley, did you walk from Rosaria City to Moorwald?â Sharon had seen many of his glib words, so she did not take it to heart. Instead, she teased
Edwin did not answer. He just smiled. But the smile looked forced and awkward.
âSharon,â Edwin whispered. He glanced sideways at the person about his chin and raised his arm
his arm.

Sharon noticed his action. Seeing he was about to touch her, she instinctively stepped back. Edwin froze momentarily before retracting Afterward, he said in a low voice. âYou donât have to be wary of me in the future. You donât have to avoid me either. I wonât disturb anymore.â Then, he tilted his head at her. He turned his body sideways and strode away.
Thatâs Sharon looked at his back and could not help but open her lips slightly,
time. As Sharon looked in
He came and left suddenly, and his words were unexpected. Sharonâs mind wandered off and her body froze for a long ti the direction where Edwin had headed, she felt what happened just now was an illusion.
After breakfast, Irene made a fuss about going ice skating. She liked skating and often practiced at home. So, Sharon decided to bring Irene skating outside. Originally, she only had two sessions a week. But after getting a new membership, she could go every day.
When Sharon and Irene arrived at the training ground, many figures had already slid across the ice. The snowy surface was clear and cold. The training groundâs temperature was lower than the outside to keep the ice from melting, Irene excitedly changed her clothes and jumped into the ice with Sharon She started to slide.
Sliding. Irene looked around with her big round eyes. Sharon knew who she was looking for. During this time, Edwin was always practicing with them. Irene was looking for him. Usually, Sharon hated Edwin the most. But thinking of his appearance that morning, she could not help but look for him too. Edwin was not around, Realizing this, Irene pursed his lips. A look of disappointment flashed across her face, but she was not disheartened. She believed her dad would be late because he had to handle urgent matters. âHeâll be here later!
However, after they warmed up, Edwin did not appear. In the past, Sharon always felt he was an eyesore. But his absence that day made her fall into a dilemma. She could not help but think of how he looked that morning. No matter how much she thought about it, she could not figure out what or who made him like that. âLetâs stan practicing. Sharon said without overthinking Edwin.
Until the end of the practice, Edwin did not appear. As Sharon and Irene walked out of the skating ground, Ireneâs step looked heavy. For the next few days, Edwin disappeared without a trace. Shargar was busy with work and had a lot of things to do. She didnât think much about Edwin
In the blink of an eye, Friday, the lawyer called and said that the information on the transfer of the shares had been completed. The signatures of both parties had come into effect. The lawyer could help her send the files, but since Alanna did not know about this yet, she had to persuade Alanna to accept the shares. So, Sharon decided to drive to Rosaria City. After meeting with her lawyer, she brought the files to Bisney Entertainment, Alannaâs office.

âWhy didnât you tell me you were coming?â Alanna wore a white business suit, looking bright and professional. She didnât call her assistant and
made coffee for Sharon
Sharon replied with a hum. She saw that Alannaâs makeup was a little too thick but did not cover her natural beauty. She could not help but ask âHave you been busy recently!â
âSame as usualâ Alanna shrugged. âBut whatâs going on between you and Edwin: When I went out a few days ago, I saw him with a woman. The two of them were quite close. Their relationship seemed intimate. I asked around and said that the woman was Ray Gidonâs sister. She went on a blind date with him. Not only that but Jasmine. Tina and Rayâs parents were also around. It was quite a grand scene.â
When Sharon heard Edwinâs name. Sharon was sightly stunned. âYou think so!â Based on what she knew. Ray did not have a younger sister but an unmarried cousin. Heâs going on a blind date with Christine?
Sharon thought Edwin wouldnât marry someone over a blind date, but if it was true, she thought everything seemed to have happened too suddenly. She remembered that Edwin hadnât paid much attention to Christine either. He even told Irene that he wasnât familiar with Christine. So Sharon concluded that this must be Jasmineâs arrangement. After all, she met him because of her
âOr did he say those words to comfort trene?â Sharon had some understanding of Edwin. He was a strict person, and he was not a hypocrite. He did not like to lie.
But why did he decide to get together with Christine? Thinking of this, more and more doubts surged in Sharonâs mind. However, when she thought about how she did not intend to have any plans with Edwin, she did not want to speculate too much. So, she said calmly. âGood to know,â
Alanna did not say much. She placed the ground coffee beans into a special colander with a paper filter. The dark brown coffee beans were delicate and fragrant. She took a water bottle with a thin tube and checked the temperature. She estimated the temperature was around so degrees Celsius before pouring it along the funnel. She did it all smoothly, but it was not her usual style.
Alanna was usually energetic. She hated perry sentiment the most Sharon suddenly remembered that with her fiery temper, if she had seen Edwin on such a highâprofile blind date, she would have called her early in the morning and yelled about it. She wouldnât hold back from saying such a thing
Alanna looked strange that day. âDid something happen to you recently? Sharon could not help but ask
When Sharon asked this question, Alanna suddenly stopped pouring water and froze
