Chapter 301
It was Ariah who blocked the door. She smiled at the man with a frown in front of her, "Since you're already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Stanley, I haven't seen you in four years, so I have a lot to say to you. Come on, you can have a seat here, and let's catch up."
Hearing what she said, Stanley was speechless.
After all, he didn't know Ariah at all, let alone catching up.
Meanwhile, Ariah didn't think much as she quickly dragged him to the couch, forcing him to sit down. Then, fixing her eyes on his face, she asked suspiciously, "Have you really lost your memory? You didn't lie to Sharon, did you?"
She knew that the Jones Family had always treated Sharon very badly all these times. Not only did they deceive her, but they also killed her beloved father. Even Ariah, who was an outsider, also thought that their behavior was unacceptable.
So this had led her to think, "Could it be that Stanley deliberately pretends to lose his memory to ask for Sharon's sympathy so that she will not hate him?"
However, on second thought, she thought it would be impossible for him to do that. With his personality, he wouldn't think of such a lowly idea that made him disappear for four years!
Therefore, she could conclude that Stanley had really lost his memory!
At the thought of that, Ariah pinched Sharon's hand, laughing, "Do you think this is karma?"
Sharon was confused by what Ariah said. Although she knew that Ariah was on her side, she didn't expect her to be so straightforward.
Ariah was a psychologist. Back then, she was the one who cured Sharon after she suffered from depression caused by her father's death.
Recalling how Sharon almost became autistic due to that blow, Ariah did not feel sorry for Stanley who had lost his memory, but she thought that it was God's punishment for him.
She couldn't agree more with herself. After all, the Jones Family had always hurt Sharon before, even causing her to lose her father. It wouldn't make sense if their son didn't pay for that.
And now, he had memory loss, and that meant he also lost his wife and his children indirectly. Hence, it was fair to Sharon now!
Hearing what Ariah said, Stanley was getting mad, and his face darkened as well. "Miss Cruz, I don't know you have such a bad-tempered friend. Isn't she afraid that someone with an even worse temper will slap her in the face?"
"What the f*ck?" Ariah's eyes widened as soon as she heard his sarcasm, "Woah, I can't believe that your personality is still the same even after you have lost your memory! Watch what you say! Are you the one who has a bad temper or me?"
Meanwhile, when Sharon saw them argue, she immediately scolded with a darkened face, "Stop! Do not curse! Calm down!"
How could they curse in front of her innocent and pure children?
"Alright, it's my fault." Ariah reached out her hand to cover Seamus and Sadie's ears. Then, she spoke, "Sorry, I was just being too emotional just now. It is not a good example, so both of you don't learn from me, yeah."
Luckily, Seamus and Sadie were still children, so they didn't know what the adults were talking about just now. However, if they were two years older, they would have known those dirty words.
In the kitchen, Ariah sent a text message before putting her phone into her pocket. After that, she looked at Sharon who was preparing the meal in the kitchen, then she looked at Stanley, who was talking to the two children in the living room.
"Sharon, have you ever thought about what you're going to do if Stanley can't remember his past for the rest of his life?"
Looking at Sharon's back, Ariah asked curiously.
Upon hearing that, Sharon paused, staring at the water flowing out of the faucet in a daze. After a long while, she smiled faintly. "It's fine as long as he's safe. It doesn't matter even if he can't remember it."
"Are you really okay with that?" Ariah was surprised. "If he can't remember you, then he may not like you. If he doesn't like you, then wouldn't it be the end between the two of you?"
Hearing Ariah's guestion, Sharon put aside the washed vegetables then looked at her. "Ariah, you know very well about what has happened in the past. Although my father's death has nothing to do with Stanley, it has something to do with the Jones Family after all. Also, I can't ignore the fact that he once lied to me.' "Since you hate him so much, why did you travel all over the world to find him?"
As soon as Ariah asked, Sharon only gave a smile. "I will feel at ease only after I found him."
Upon hearing that, Ariah raised her eyebrows as she finally understood what Sharon really thought. After all, it was Sharon who caused Stanley to disappear, making her feel guilty over the past few years. So, that was why she didn't give up on searching for him.
She had to look for him, making sure that he was safe. Only then, she would feel better.
Was that really the reason?
At the thought of that, Ariah looked at Sharon with an understanding smile, "Now that you've found him. Do you still love him?"
Love?
Lowering her gaze, Sharon said with a bitter smile, "Ariah, I forgot to tell you that during these four years after Stanley went missing, he has been living very well, and... he even has a fiancee now."
In fact, Sharon had begun to come around after she found Stanley not long ago. For the past few years, the only thing she had been thinking about was whether he was still alive or had already died. Now that she had found out that he was still alive, enjoying his current life at the same time, Sharon felt that it was time to let go of him and let fate decide everything.
As long as he had a good life, it wouldn't matter anymore whether he was going to marry Ayana.
Sharon's words shocked Ariah, "What did you say? Stanley had another woman?"
Even though her words were a little unpleasant to hear, it was the truth after all. So, Sharon bit her lip and nodded. "Yes."
"Holy cr*p!" Ariah was so angry that she started to curse again. "You've been a widow for four years because of him! You must divorce him right now!" Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
As her personal psychologist, Ariah knew better than anyone else that Sharon had lived a very difficult life in the past four years. Every time Sharon came to see her, Ariah would always feel sorry for her when treating her.
After the disappearance of Stanley, Sharon had gone through a lot in her life as she suffered from the loss of her father and, at the same time, she had to search for Stanley. There was one time that she almost miscarried... Not only that, having to face both mental and physical stress, she almost went crazy.
It was very unfair to Sharon that Stanley was able to lead a carefree life with another woman when she had to sacrifice a lot and lived in fear for the past four years.
She would not allow Sharon to let things slide!
Seeing that Ariah was filled with anger, Sharon laughed, "Ariah, don't you think that things are better now? I mean, Stanley is still alive, and I have two healthy children. Since everything's fine, I will be fine as well."
After all, memory loss was not something that Stanley could control either.
"Bullsh*t!" Ariah rolled her eyes. "What are you talking about? He has another woman, and yet you're still defending him!"
Immediately, Sharon did not know what to say.
As Ariah had always been a bad-tempered woman, she immediately rolled up her sleeves and was about to quarrel with Stanley. Seeing that, Sharon immediately stopped her. Just when they were having a small conflict in the kitchen, the doorbell suddenly rang. Hearing that, Sharon hurriedly said, "Someone's coming. Let's open the door!"
As she spoke, Sharon dragged Ariah to the door. The moment the door was opened, Ariah, who was still throwing a tantrum, immediately fell silent.
Undoubtedly, it was Jimmy's arrival that made her fall silent.
