Chapter 103

"Huh!" Edwin sneered unapologetically. "Do you really think that's possible!"

"No I

possibility is the best!" she quickly retorted.

Her gaze was clear as if his words had lifted a burden from her shoulders.

Edwin was taken aback

Sharon looked at Edwin expressionlessly and changed the subject. "Are you suggesting taking Irene back? Are you trying to ruin her?"

"Don't exaggerate!" he retorted firmly. "The Stanley family is her home. We will provide her with the best life and education. Returning to the Stanley family is only beneficial for her, not harmfull" basic needs aren't even being met?"

"The Stanley family may indeed offer her the best life and education, but what's the use if her b Sharon gently pulled trene toward her, but frene dung tightly to her leg, not daring to step away,

"Do you see?" Sharon whispered, her heart squeezing at Irene's fear. "She's so afraid of you!"

"She'll get used to it eventually." Edwin dismissed, not particularly concerned. "She's afraid of me simply because we haven't spent much time together."

"She's been with you for three years, hasn't she?" Sharon reminded, unable to bear Irene's frightened look, and pulled her into a tight embrace

Irene immediately wrapped her arms tightly around Sharon's neck, pressing her head against her chest, too afraid to even breathe.

Edwin watched Irene silently, his brow furrowing

He was about to criticize Sharon for spoiling Irene and bring overly protective, but before he could speak, Sharon's voice cut in again. "She's only been at her new school for less than three days, and all the kids in her class already adore her. The teacher says she's the most lively and optimistic child in the class.

"Have you ever considered why irene is so afraid of you, so afraid to go back to the Stanley family?" She gently stroked Irene's back, her gaze locking onto Edwin's

She added, "The indifference of the Stanley family has seeped into her bones. The moment she goes back, she instinctively feels fear. And on top of that, your mother and sister despise her. By putting her back in that environment, are you trying to torment her to death!

"You haven't fulfilled your duty as a father, but why add to her paint just because she's part of the Stanley family, you think you can't hold your head up high if she's not in it?”

"Edwin, in my eyes, the reputation of the Stanley family is nothing compared to Irene's life!

"If you try to force her back, to destroy her, I fight you tooth and nail, even if it means losing everything!"

Her final words were firm and resolute, her eyes filled with determination

After their divorce, Edwin had seen many sides of her, but he had never seen this level of fierceness before,

For the first time, he truly understood what it meant to be a mother, strong and unwavering.

"Dad, I won't go back with you. If you bully Mommy, if you try to take me away from her, I livestream it and tell everyone how you're bullying Mommy!" Irene suddenly spoke up. Though she was scared of the man in front of her, she was determined to protect her momatiy

She straightened her back, glaring fiercely at Edwin,

Edwin looked at his daughter.

Her gaze was not like the one she gave her father. It was more like the way one looked at a formidable enemy.

Something in his heart crashed hard, almost revealing his vulnerability.

With Sharon's arm around Irene's shoulder and Irene nestled against her, the two formed a formidable alliance. And he, Irene's father, was left out in the cold.

A hollow emptiness washed over him as if he had been hollowed out by their rejection.

Chapter 103

Sharon gently parted Irene's back. "Trene, wait for me in the car, okay?"

Irene looked at her worriedly, then glanced at Edwin, still concerned that he might mistreat her.

Sharon nodded reassuringly. "Don't worry, I'll just have a few words with your dad. Everything will be fine."

Only then did trene slide down and open the car door, climbing inside

Sharon took a few steps away from the car, pulting some distance between them.

Almost instinctively, Edwin followed her.

The two stood under the tree.

Edwin's gaze never left her.

The slender woman stood resolute in the night breeze, like a blooming rose, strong and unyielding-

Despite the darkness of the night, her face shone with radiance, her demeanor remarkable.

Gone was the air of resignation she had at the Stanley Manor,

She seemed like a completely different person

Even he began to doubt whether the Stanley family was a den of destruction

How else could one person undergo such a drastic transformation

She was like this, and Irene was too.

"Edwin

"A low, britte voice reached his ears.

This voice startled Edwin, and he suddenly realized that Sharon's voice was eerily similar to Tilda's

His eyes widened inexplicably, a strange thought creeping into his mind.

But this thought was quickly overshadowed by Sharon's words.

He heard her say. When you left me in the snow that day, I didn't hate you. But knowing I was pregnant and still doing that, it was like abandoning

Irene

"And then later, when I gave birth to frene, with my blood staining the ground. You didn't answer my calls for help further confirming your abandonment of Irene.

"So, from start to finish, it's only me who wants

nis het.

"You never wanted her to be born in the first place. Why not just pretend she never existed! I'll take her away from here, and we'll never appear in front of you again. That way, it won't affect your marriage with Tilda, and soon enough, everyone will forget about me and Irene."

Initially, when Tilda asked Sharon to leave, she was reluctant

But now, Sharon realized that as long as Irene could grow up peacefully, she was willing to leave.

After saying this, Sharon nodded, turned around, and walked back to the car, leaving

Behind her, Edwin stood there like a statue.

The hand he had clenched was now limp, allowing the papers to slip through his fingers and flutter to the ground.

Sharon's tone

stone just now was

now was incredibly calm, devoid of any resentment, yet each word felt like a heavy blow, striking him in the chest.

He was beaten to the paint where he didn't even have the courage to face her,

The night was quiet.

Edwin silently pushed open the door of Nexus and walked straight into the cumpartment, taking a seat.

Ray inside noticed him and showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Didn't you say you were tired and going back to rest? Why are you out again!"

They had discussed a project today, and after it was over, Ray invited Edwin to have a drink, which he had refused,

10:42 AM 1

Chapter 103

Edwin remained silent, leaning against the chair, both hands pressed against his knees, feeling a heavy weight and an oppressive atmosphere enveloping him.

Ray didn't ask further and poured him a drink.

His slender fingers pushed the glass filled with red wine toward him.

Edwin remained silent, lifting the glass to his lips but not drinking.

"Why didn't you tell the truth about the blood contamination?" he suddenly asked.

Ray paused for a moment.

The next moment, Ray raised his glass, chuckled, and lowered his head. "Sharon asked me not to tell you."

"She..." Edwin's fingers froze in mid-air, the glass of wine no longer able to reach his lips,

'How could that be? After everything she's been through, shouldn't she want me to know even more?" Edwin's words were directed at Ray, but they sounded more like a self-reflection

Edwin's mind lingered on the scene where Sharon said she had abandoned Irene. There was no impulse to question, only a was so composed, even when recounting such a tragic past as if it were someone else's

a calm statement. She

The more composed she seemed, the more profoundly shaken be felt.

Ray's gaze deepened, but he remained silent, sipping his drink.

But Edwin had already figured it out

Sharon truly didn't care anymore.

Her indifference wasn't because she had stopped hating Tilda. It was because she no longer needed Edwin to stand up for her

His attitude toward Sharon meant nothing anymore.

Suddenly, Edwin felt drained of energy, unable to even hold onto the glass.

He silently set it down, watching the liquid inside, acutely aware of something being pulled out of him.

It was Sharon's love, trust, expectations, and all her emotions.

Nothing was left

Edwin got drunk for the first time in his life.

Ray saw Edwin's furrowed brow, the pain evident on his face, and almost unconscious state. Ray shook his head in resignation.

He was about to help Edwin up when he heard a low murmur escape Edwin's lips.

Ray listened carefully to his words, a spark of interest Bashing in his eyes. He picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Edwin is drunk"
