At three o'clock in the afternoon, having finished her work, Sharon checked the time.
After making sure that there was nothing left to be done in the studio, she took her things and was
ready to go out.
Sharon had been there once yesterday, so now she knew where Harley lived, and could visit Harley
directly.
Moreover, even if they had left, Sharon would still be able to get some clues from their neighbors.
When Sharon was about to step out of the studio, Aylin appeared in front of her.
Aylin smiled at her with an embarrassed expression.
Sharon paused for a few seconds, and then said, "Good afternoon, Ms.Morton."
Aylin smiled bitterly and said, "Don't be so courteous.The Mortons have lost their position.There is no
need to address me as Ms.Morton anymore."
Sharon glanced at the stroller in front of her and stepped back, "Come in."
Perhaps it was because Aylin was taking care of a child, she was plainly dressed and wore no luxury
jewelry.
All her pride of being a member of the Mortons had gone.
Sharon asked the receptionist to bring them two glasses of drinks, and led Aylin to the lounge.
Throughout the process, Aylin looked a little nervous.
After taking a glass of water, she relaxed a little.
Sharon said, "Ms...."
Subconsciously, She was about to say "Ms.Morton", but she remembered what Aylin had said.
Sharon paused for a moment, and didn't know how to address her.
Aylin put down the glass and said, "Just call me Aylin."
"Aylin,"
Sharon nodded slightly.
After a pause, Sharon asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Aylin showed a trace of embarrassment.
A few moments later, she answered, "Actually, I should have visited you long ago.But there were so
many things to deal with in the Morton's, and my child was too young.I just couldn't get the time to
come here.Today, I'm here to apologize to you."
"Apologize to me?" Sharon was confused.
Aylin seemed a little nervous.
She took a deep breath and said, "I've had prejudice against you.What's more, I've spoken ill of you
behind your back."
Sharon smiled and said, "It doesn't matter.After all, I didn't marry into the Proctor family in a decent
way.It doesn't surprise me that you would have prejudice against me at that time."
"No."
Aylin said, "Apart from this, I ...I also..."
Aylin was too embarrassed to finish her words.
Realizing Aylin's embarrassment, Sharon said, "Aylin, what is gone is gone.We should all look
forward."
Aylin shook her head, "Although it's a thing of the past, I should apologize to you.I am troubled by it
every day, and I often have nightmares because of it.I am always scared and worry that..."
Halfway through the sentence, Aylin looked down at the sleeping baby in the stroller.
"As a mother, I am responsible and obliged to make up for the wrongs I have done."
Aylin closed her eyes and continued, "Do you still remember the accident where you fell into the
swimming pool in the Proctor's?"
Not expecting Aylin would mention that, Sharon was surprised.
Then she said, "Yes, I do."
Because of that accident, Jameson discovered that Sharon was pregnant.
"Actually, it wasn't an accident.I asked someone to do it," Aylin said.
Sharon was shocked and subconsciously asked, "Why?"
"At that time, Erica was sorely tempted to sort you out.I was afraid that Erica would go to extremes, so I
stopped her and knew your pregnancy from her.At that time, Martin happened to be back from abroad
and he was on intimate terms with you.So, Erica and I both guessed that the father of your baby might
be..."
Sharon calmly supplemented Aylin's words, "The father of my baby might be Martin."
Aylin nodded, "At that time, the engagement between the Proctor family and the Morton family was
approaching.I tried to move all the obstacles that might lead to the failure of it, so I decided to ask
people to push you down the swimming pool.What's done is done.I'm not asking you to forgive me, but
I don't think it's a good idea to keep running from mistakes.Instead of living in fear, I would rather admit
my fault frankly.No matter what the outcome would be, I deserve it."
Sharon glanced at the stroller and showed no emotions in her voice, "When the accident happened,
you were about to give birth."
Sharon's words seemed to have hurt Aylin.
Aylin was almost crying.
Even though Aylin was unwilling to admit it, at that time, she intended to kill the child in Sharon's belly.
After a long time, Sharon suddenly smiled, "It was merely just a child.I had never realized that there
would be so many people who could not stand its existence, and even robbed it of the chance to come
to this world."
"Ms.Allyson, I'm really sorry.I..."
Sharon collected herself and said with a calm expression, "Forget it.There's no point in apologizing.An
apology can change neither what had happened, nor the destined ending."
She just couldn't imagine that Aylin had played a role in the accident.
Aylin wiped her tears, "Anyway, the Morton family owes you a favor.If there's anything I can do to help,
please let me know.I will do everything within my power to help you."
Sharon said, "Ms.Morton, you are too serious.I don't think I would ask you to do everything you can to
help me."
Hearing Sharon addressing her as Ms.Morton again, Aylin opened her mouth, but said nothing.
A few seconds later, Aylin stood up and said, "Well ...I'd better be off.If you need anything, I am at your
service."
Sharon also rose and said, "Let me send you off."
At the door of the studio, Aylin couldn't help but turn round and said,"Ms.Allyson, I know you won't
forgive me.I'm not saying these words to vindicate myself, but I think there is something suspicious."
Aylin continued, "As you know, Erica is a person who speaks or acts on hearsay.In that accident, she
stirred up trouble the instant she knew you were pregnant.If she had known the news before, she
wouldn't have restrained her anger until then.On that day, Natalia was also in the Proctor's."
Sharon couldn't help but frown.
Aylin continued, "I used to take it as a wild guess.But later I realized that the hospital where you
regularly visited to do pregnancy check-ups was also frequented by me.And Natalia had been with me
to there a few times.I ...Maybe I shouldn't have suspected Natalia without any evidence, but I know that
you had recently moved into the Beale's, so I want to warn you against Natalia.You cannot be too
careful in this matter.I've known Natalia for more than ten years.It was only until recently that I realized
that she is not what I thought she was."
Finishing her words, Aylin nodded at Sharon, and left.Staring after Aylin, Sharon was lost in her thought
for a long time.
