A tantalizing aroma of the dinner filled the air.
Hearing the footsteps at the door, Charlotte came out and said, "Sharon, Jameson, sit down.Dinner will
be ready soon"
Sharon said, "Charlotte, let me help you."
As she spoke, she took off her coat and handed it to Jameson before entering the kitchen.
Jameson took it and raised his eyebrows.
Charlotte said, "I'm fine.Almost done”
"You should be asleep by this time normally.It's so late, and you have to prepare dinner for us.Thank
you."
"It's totally fine.I live here alone.It's good to have someone to talk to."
"Charlotte ...you live here alone?"
Charlotte replied casually, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Sharon smiled and shook her head, "Nothing.I just remember that Mary wanted to move in with you.I
thought that you..."
"Mary.." Charlotte said, holding the bowl and chopsticks, "You know that Mary is restless.It's too quiet
here.She did stay here for a while but then she went on a tour.She's now enjoying herself somewhere
else"
Hearing this, Sharon felt assured.Sure enough, she was overthinking it.
After dinner, Charlotte said, "It's getting late now.The room is ready.You guys can go upstairs and have
a rest"
Sharon had already slept on the way here.She was not sleepy at the moment.So she went to pick up
the dishes and said, "Charlotte, go to bed.I'll take care of this."
"Thanks."
She then went back to her room.
Sharon went to the kitchen with the dishes.
Just as she was about to wash, the bowl in her hand was taken away.
Jameson said, "I'll do it."
Sharon didn't want to discourage him, so she could only feel sorry for the plates.
She went out and sat on the sofa.
But less than five minutes later, she heard the cracks of two pieces of cutlery.
One was from a plate, the other was from a spoon.
It was just what she had expected.
Twenty minutes later, Jameson finally came out of the kitchen with an unhappy look.
"Very good, actually” Sharon praised sincerely, "Only one plate was broken today"
"Shut up."
A smile lifted the corner of Sharon's mouth.
She felt much better now.
Jameson loosened his tie with one hand and said, "I'm gonna take a shower"
At this point, Sharon noticed that his shirt was half wet.What did the plates do to him...?
"Well,"
Sharon hurriedly said, "There's only one room?"
After taking a few steps, Jameson turned to look at her and went, "So?"
Sharon curled her lips, '’Just what I thought.."
While Jameson was upstairs, Sharon was still sitting on the sofa, huddling up and looking out of the
window.
Don't know what she was thinking at this point.
Just then, the bedroom door was opened and Charlotte walked out, "Still up?"
"Charlotte…”
Sharon earthed to herself.
Charlotte sat beside her and went, "Been busy lately? Looks like you have lost a lot of weight."
"Summer is around.Time to lose weight." Sharon smiled.
"Nonsense, you're so thin.No need to lose weight"
"Charlotte, are you comfortable living here alone?" Sharon asked.
Charlotte answered calmly, "I've lived alone for so long, anyway"
That was also true.
After a while, Sharon continued, "Charlotte, you've been living here since you left Bridge Street?"
Charlotte paused for a moment and then went, "I've also lived elsewhere."
Sharon's eyes suddenly lit up, "Where?"
"Still in Costspool.But I'm not used to living there, so I moved here"
The light in Sharon's eyes dimmed eventually.
She paused for a while before she nodded her head in agreement, "Costspool is indeed noisy.Bridge
Street is the quietest"
Charlotte replied, "What about you? I saw the news lately.Does it affect you?"
Sharon said, "Not really.It's just annoying.Seems endless"
"Take your time and things will be sorted out eventually.There's always an end to everything."
Sharon proposed, "Charlotte, when everything is settled down, you can move back to the South City
and live with us."
Charlotte smiled and said, "We'll see"
Sharon also knew what it was like living alone for a long time.
Although she would occasionally feel lonely, it was better than more troubles.
So sometimes it was nice to be alone.Charlotte stood up and said, "Alright, I'm going to bed.You
should, too.You'll go back to South City early in the morning, right?"
Sharon nodded, "Okay.Good night, Charlotte."
After Charlotte returned to her room, Sharon went upstairs.
Just as she opened the door, she saw Jameson coming out of the bath with wet black hair.
Their sights touched for a few seconds.
And Sharon was stunned.
She asked in disbelief, "Why aren't you in some clothes?"
"They are wet" He seemed quite justified.
Sharon blushed, "Then can't you ...find something else to wear?'
Jameson said, "Where haven’t you seen?"
Sharon failed to argue with him and directly went into the bathroom.
Although she didn't bring any change of clothes with her either, at least her clothes were dry.
She could still wear them after bath.She was not going to be naked like Jameson did.
After her bath, Jameson was already lying on the bed.
Sharon's eyelids twitched.She really didn't want to sleep besides him.
When she lay down, she was near the edge of the bed, keeping a distance from Jameson.
However, not long after, she felt a warm body pressed against hers.
She could feel his breath upon her ears, and she heard his deep, low and ambiguous voice, "Same
dress?"
Sharon answered, "Nothing to change"
"Then take it off.It smells."
Sharon grabbed her dress tight, "Don't get so close to me and you can't smell it."
Words failed Jameson.
He then whispered in a seductive manner, "I can't smell it if you take it off."
Sharon knew what he was up to, so she frowned and whispered, "You don't want to do it here, do you?
No condom here."
Jameson kissed her on the forehead and went, "Let's have a baby"
"No.”
"Why?"
Sharon turned her back to him and said, "I don't want a baby"
Jameson pulled her over again, "I thought you like children"
After a moment of silence, Sharon said, "Yes, I do.But I'm afraid I won't be able to protect them.Bearing
a baby only for my liking is irresponsible."
"Is it that serious?"
Sharon kicked him for his light tone, "If you want to have a baby, then do it yourself!"
