Chapter 88: The Jerk Was Quite Confident
“Mary, I…”
“Sharon, listen to me.” Mary said in a serious tone.
“Ever since you moved here, I know that you have gone through a difficult time.We are afraid you
will feel heart-broken if we mention your ex-husband.Therefore, Charlotte and I try to avoid the
topic.I’m always frank and outspoken so I can’t help talking with you on this matter.”
After a pause, Mary scolded, “Your ex-husband is a totally jerk.”
It came absolutely out of the blue.Sharon felt stunned.
Jameson was totally confused at Mary’s comment on him.
Just as Mary was about to continue, Charlotte touched her on the arm to stop her.
Mary said, “Charlotte, don’t stop me.I have to say something.Sharon, forget your ex-husband and
cherish the present one.”
Noticing Jameson’s sullen look, Sharon hurried to say, “Mary, there is a misunderstanding.My ex-
husband and I have peacefully reached an agreement on the divorce matter.He is not so terrible as
you think.”
“But what does that matter? He doesn’t care about you even if you are having his child.He is totally
heartless.If he had any conscience, he would not allow you to come here alone, far away from your
hometown.No one comes to help you, and you even can’t air your grievances.”

While taking her hand, Mary signed.
“Sharon, you don’t have to pretend that everything is okay.I understand you for I have similar
experiences.”
she continued, “Julian, come over here.”
Julian stood up and walked towards them.
Mary took his hand, “You two are perfect for each other.Believe me, Sharon, Julian is reliable.He
really likes you and will take good care of you.”
With the help of Mary, Julian hurried to say, “Sharon, I don’t mind your past.You may not understand
me yet, but it doesn’t matter.I hope that you can give me a chance to prove myself.”
Slightly stunned, Sharon didn’t say anything.
Mary thought that Sharon had accepted Julian.
Just as Mary was about to put their hands together, Sharon suddenly withdrew her hand, “Sorry, I
can’t.”
Julian felt disappointed at her answer.
Mary also sighed and comforted him, “Take it easy.You will have other chances later.”
Julian returned to his seat, downhearted.
Sharon’s heart almost jumped out of her chest.
The reason why she had been stunned just now was because Jameson quietly took her hand under
the table when Julian was talking.
He entwined his fingers with hers.
Sharon turned to glare at him.
Jameson calmly continued to drink, while raising his eyebrows slightly.
After this accident, everyone quieted down at the dining table.
Sharon felt embarrassed, because Jameson didn’t intend to let go of her hand.
Instead, he clutched her hand all the time.
What did the jerk want to do? After the dinner, the neighbors said goodbye to each other and left.
Julian tried to brace up, “Mr.Proctor, I’ll send you back.”
Jameson said indifferently, “You don’t have to.Just go back and have a good rest.’
While Jameson was talking with Julian, Sharon slowly withdrew her hand.Then she heaved a sigh
of relief.
Jameson continued, “Ms.Allyson said she will show me around.’ Sharon was stunned.
She never said something like that.Julian wanted to go on persuading Jameson, but he was not
qualified to do that.
Moreover, as a married man, Jameson was unlikely to have feelings for a pregnant woman.

After Julian left, Jameson took a glance at Sharon, with a reluctant expression beside him,
“Ms.Allyson?”
Mary patted Sharon on the shoulder and said, “Sharon, Jameson called you.’
Sharon managed a weak smile, “I didn’t hear it.”
Jameson said, “It’s kind of you to show me around, Ms.Allyson.”
‘How hypocritical the jerk is at the moment!’ When they left the ancestral hall, they could see a row
of street lamps lined up by the river.
While looking down and keeping silent, Sharon walked in front of Jameson.
She wanted to finish the visit as quickly as she could.
Therefore, she could keep away from the jerk.
Putting his hand in the pants pocket, Jameson walked behind her unhurriedly.
“Ms.Allyson, how about introducing these places to me?”
“I’ve only moved here for half a month, so I’m not familiar with it.I can find someone else to give
Mr.Proctor a detailed introduction?”
Gritting her teeth, Sharon turned to smile at him.
“Is there anyone more beautiful than Ms.Allyson here?”
Sharon sneered, “But you said I was not pretty just now.’ Jameson stopped.
Looking at the river, he slowly said, “I did say my wife was not pretty just now.Are you my wife?”
Jameson was speechless.
