Chapter 86: We’ll Have Our Own Child One Day
Charlotte didn’t say whether she believed it or not.Then she took thermostat from Sharon’s hand
and said, “Just give it to me.Go upstairs to have a rest.”
After saying that, she went into the kitchen.
Sharon did not sleep well last night, so she was a little sleepy.She went upstairs while yawning.She
slept till six p.m.
In the sky was a golden afterglow.
When Sharon went downstairs, she found that Charlotte was not in the room.Then she went to the
next door, only to find that Mary wasn’t at home either.
Moreover, it was time to prepare meals, but the surrounding rooms were very quiet.
After the sun went down, the street lamps lit up one by one.
The river was sparkling under the light.
Perhaps it was hard to find another old street of such antique beauty and tranquility.
Just as Sharon was distracted, Mary appeared behind her and patted her shoulder, “Sharon, you’re
awake.”
“Mary.’ Sharon came back to the reality.
Mary said, “Let’s go.”

Sharon was puzzled.
“Where are we going?”
“Oh, you don’t know yet.”
Mary patted her forehead and said, “It’s almost settled that a resort hotel will be built
here.Neighbors are going to move out.It’s hard to meet in the future, so we’ll have a gathering.I
asked Charlotte for help this afternoon.Now almost everyone is there, so I come to call you.’ Thus,
Sharon was dragged to the ancestral hall by Mary.
This ancestral hall was open to the public.
Normally, neighbors would gather here to celebrate festivals.
However, due to various reasons, there was always someone absent before.
This time, everyone was here probably because it was the last gathering.
Residents along the Bridge Street were basically the elderly like Charlotte and Mary.
They were unwilling to live with their children.
There were also young tenants like Julian and Sharon.
They got along well with each other.
Rather than neighbors, they were more like a big family.
This night, each of them prepared their own specialty.
Dozens of dishes were on the round table as if there was a banquet.
Mary brought Sharon to a seat, “Sharon, sit here.”
People on this table were most familiar to Sharon.
Mary and Charlotte were both sitting here, but there was still a seat on the left of Sharon.
The acquisition conference of the Bridge Street lasted an entire afternoon, and it didn’t end until
nightfall.
After others left, Jameson sat in his seat and pressed his temples.
Jacob stepped forward and said, “Mr.Proctor, do you need painkiller?”
Jameson lowered his hand and said indifferently as he stood up, “Never mind, I’ll go out for dinner.”
Julian and several leaders of his company were waiting for the elevator.
One of the leaders said, “It’s time for dinner.Let’s have a meal before leaving.”
The leaders agreed.
Julian said with embarrassment, “I’m so sorry.I might have to leave now.”
Julian briefly explained with the neighbors’ gathering.
The reconstruction of Bridge Street into a resort hotel was a big project, and it was also very
important to Julian’s company.
Hearing this, the leader immediately said, “Well, we can’t keep Julian here today.”
“Julian, give my regards to your neighbors.”
“Oh right, Julian, Will Sharon attend this gathering?” Julian nodded.
“Yes.”
The leader patted his shoulder and encouraged, “Well, seize this good opportunity.”

None of them noticed that someone stood behind them in a gloomy face.
After leaving the hotel, Julian said goodbye to his leaders and stood at the crossing to take a taxi.
But just as he raised his hand, a black Maybach slowly stopped in front of him.
Julian was confused.
The window was rolled down and Jameson was in the car with a cold expression.
“Mr.Huntington.” he said.
Julian asked in surprise, “Mr.Proctor?”
Jameson said indifferently, “Where are you going? I can give you a ride.’ Julian was surprised and
he hurried to refused, “No, don’t bother.I’ll take a taxi…”
“Get on.”
Julian did not dare to refuse any more.
He pulled open the door and bent down to get on.
Although he had much contact with Jameson in work these two days, most of the time, it was the
leaders who talked with Jameson.
Julian only ran errands and took documents for them.
He had never stayed with Jameson by himself.
The car was in silence.
Julian was very nervous, so he didn’t dare to make any noise.
He heard about Jameson long before.
