Dumping 32
Sharon didn't delve into thar thought further, but her heart still skipped a beat with a sharp twinge of pain.
Alanna drove Sharon straight to Bisney Entertainment, where Irene was also present. After the recent events at the Stanley family's place, Sharon didn't want to risk anything happening to Irene and hadn't sent her to school
Irene walked over, led by Randall. "Mommy" She charged into Sharon's arms. Although it had only been a few hours apart, she had missed her mother dearly.
Sharon bent down to catch her little body, the softness immediately melting the chill in her heart. Were you good, Irene! You didn't interrupt Mr. Silva's live streaming, did you?" she asked gently "She didn't, Randall answered, his voice warm and reassuring. His flawless face showed a touch of care for Sharon, and his eyes smiled in a way that was just right.
"Mommy, I was very good." Irene chimed in. Staying with Rocky and Alanna had shaped her into quite a lively person. But she secretly wanted Randall to be her dad. She thought that only if she was well- behaved would Randall like her more.
"Mr. Silva is handsome and kind, and he can do really hard dances on the icel Trene praised Randall out of the blue and glanced at Sharon with clear intention of promoting Randall to her.
Sharon saw right through her scheme but pretended not to understand. She gently tapped Irene's nose. "I have something to tell you.
Irene could only wave her hand reluctantly, "Bye, Mr. Silva."
Alanna pretended to be jealous. "So quick to ignore me for a pretty face, huh?"
Irene pouted and ran to Alanna, planting a kiss on her nose. "I didn't forget you, Alanna. Look, I only kiss you like this. I've never kissed Mr. Silva." She thought only her mom could kiss Randall Alanna laughed and returned several kisses on Irene's check before nudging her. "Well, go inside with your mommy."
Sharon took Irene into Alanna's office and closed the door. After setting Irene on a chair. Sharon held her shoulders gently and said. Tve muide things clear with the Stanley family today. They won't be taking you away anymore."
"Really?" Irene's face brightened. Her memories of the Stanley family were far from fond, and she disliked them more than ever.
"Mommy, they didn't bully you, did they?" Concern quickly clouded her joy as she tenderly cupped Sharon's face and checked it carefully. In her memory, Tina would slap Sharon whenever she was upset. Seeing nu mark on Sharon's face, Irene breathed a sigh of relief.
Sharon quietly observed her daughter's caring gestures, her heart softening. Irene was the only one who cared for her at the Stanley family and comforted her whenever Tina hit her or Jasmine was mean Sharon chuckled and held her daughter's soft hand. "Don't worry. They won't bully me again. Also I owe you an apology." She lowered h
her head in shame as she explained how she'd made the Stanley family give up on Irene. "Sorry, Irene. I set a poor example
Even if she kept quiet, Irene would eventually hear it from the Stanley family. Moreover, Irene and she stuck together through thick and thin. She wanted to maintain an equal relationship with Irene, not just the usual dynamic of elders and juniors.
"Mommy, you said I'm the daughter of Bisney Entertainment's owner, and you are indeed the owner. There's nothing wrong with that," Irene replied. "So, you didn't lie. You just changed the way you said it - Her response took Sharon by surprise. When did this little one get so clevert She's able to grasp such complex ideas, huh? she thought.
Irene noticed Sharon's puzzled look and blinked triumphantly. "Mr. Jensen and Mr. Silva taught me a lot about streaming. They said it's important how one grabs people's attention with their words. I've been paying real close attention"
Pride shone on Irene's face, and Sharon couldn't help but find her daughter unterly adorable and laugh. She stroked her little one's soft hair in
Trene's really grown up. Deciding to break away from the Stanley family was definitely the smart move, she thought.
Just then, her phone started ringing. Glancing down, Sharon recognized the number all too well,
There was a time when she longed to call it yet never dared to even touch her phone, fearing the person on the other end would be displeased.
Now, sering that number left her feeling nothing at all. She realized that once a person decided to dunge, thary could become very cold. For example, she didn't even want to hear the voice on the other end
