Chapter 97: Maybe It’s My Fault
After Mary left, Charlotte whispered to Sharon, “Did you fight again?”
Was it so obvious? Sharon tried to say something but she was too embarrassed to tell Charlotte the
reason.
She could only lie calmly, “There’s nothing serious.Perhaps he was in a bad mood.”
Seemingly clear about the whole thing, Charlotte sighed, “He has always been into putting on a long
face to others since his childhood.”
Sharon thought to herself.It was just as what she had expected.
Charlotte said, “Alright, just leave him alone.Let’s have dinner.It was not long before Jameson came
out after changing his clothes.He was still having a frosty look, as if someone here owed him
money.
Everything had been okay before she knew Jameson was Charlotte’s son.
Now that she know that, she couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed to sit at the dining table with
them.
She naturally regarded herself as an outsider, let alone interfering with their affairs.
However, during dinner, Sharon observed them carefully.
Perhaps because of their respective personality, Charlotte and Jameson dealt with each other in a
plain and natural way.

They neither gave too much attention nor showed estrangement and indifference, which was quite
different from their last meeting.
This was good.
For Sharon, she only had vague memories of her mother.
She forgot her mother’s appearance, and even details about daily life with her mother.
Even if one day, Josh told her that she was abandoned by someone else, and was picked up by
him, she would believe it.
When it came to Josh, her thoughts were wandering.
After that night, she consciously tried to blot out Josh, deceiving herself that he was dead.
He must be spending his time at leisure somewhere with a large amount of money.
If possible, she wished he would never appear again in her life.
After dinner, Charlotte went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Sharon was about to go upstairs to have a rest when Jameson grabbed her wrist and said, “Where
are you going?”
“Go to bed.Or where else can I go?”
He frowned and said, “Are you a pig? Can you still fall asleep after the whole day’s rest?”
Sharon looked at him calmly.
“Mr.Proctor, is there anything I can do for you?”
Jameson rose from the chair and said indifferently, “Go out for a walk with me.”
“Mr.Proctor, I have walked along this street with you for countless times these days.Please take
your time and do it yourself.I won’t…”
“Go with me or not?”
Sharon was speechless with rage.
She complained to herself, ‘This jerk was really annoying.
Apart from threatening her, he could do nothing!’ She angrily took a step forward and said, “Fine,
go!”
Jameson smiled faintly and then followed behind her.
The neighbors had returned from work, and the streets were bustling with people.
Some elder women passing by even greeted Sharon occasionally.
However, when they saw the man behind her, they showed surprise and seized up the couple,
finally giving a knowing expression.
Soon, Sharon felt quite embarrassed and even wanted to find somewhere to hide.
Things were worse now.
The jerk said that night that he was married, and now everyone knew she was pregnant.
There must be all kinds of rumors about them hereafter.
Nevertheless, Jameson, who always took these things seriously, seemed not to notice anything.
He remained calm, and kept a distance of half a meter behind her.
Sharon quickened her pace and perfunctorily walked along the street to the end.
She said, “Mr.Proctor, maybe you can walk on by yourself.I really want to go back.”
This time, he said nothing and only agreed in a low voice.

“Yes.”
“How long will it take you to complete the rest of your work here?”
Jameson turned to her with a cold gaze.
“If you have something to say, just say it.”
Sharon stopped and said sincerely, “I feel that people tend to gossip about a man and a woman
living in the same house anyway, even if they are a normal couple, let alone a divorced couple like
us who should keep a distance in all aspects …Of course, I’m not driving you away.You can stay
here as you please.I mean I can take a hotel room for a couple of days.”
Jameson said coldly, “Why didn’t you remember to keep a distance from me when you seduced
me?”
“…Sharon blushed slightly and was somewhat shy to say anything.
“Mr.Proctor, can you …use another word? To be exact, it was mutual at that time.Don’t make it
sound like I forced you.”
“Maybe you were daydreaming about that” Jameson said and then left.
“This is just my suggestion, Mr.Proctor.I believe you should have noticed it as well.It is really
improper for us to live together now,’ Sharon said.
“What do we mean to each other?”
“We’re divorced now…”
Jameson mercilessly interrupted her, “We’re divorced now but still bedmates, aren’t we?”
Sharon felt that she really couldn’t continue chatting with him anymore.
‘Couldn’t he talk like a normal person?’
