Chapter 224
Edwin pressed the information on his knees. His slender fingers flipped through the pages one by one. His eyes were lowered, and his serious face was filled with seriousness. At the end, he silently closed the page. His finger pressed on the top page and did not move for a long time.
The content of the information was very comprehensive, including all the schools that Sharon had attended. It was comprehensive, but not special.
Edwin stroked the pages and allowed them to flip rapidly under his fingers. His cold eyes were filled with indescribable substances. Through their interactions during this period of time, he felt that he had known Sharon in the past, before even marrying her. However, this was not reflected in the information at all
Edwin thought, Jake's professionalism is unquestionable, and so is his character. So, am I overthinking?'
The next day at five o'clock in the afternoon, Sharon came to pick up Irene on time.
From afar, she saw Irene being led out by someone. Irene seemed to be especially happy. Her calves under the snow- white princess dress jumped. Her two pigtails also jumped up and down.
She turned her head and looked up, talking to the person holding her hand. She was in high spirits. Following her gaze, Sharon's attention also turned to the person holding her hand.
That person was wearing a long navy blue coat and a scarf of the same color. It still could not hide his thin body and long legs. He was dressed very handsomely. The man's face was especially fair and eye- catching under the dark color. The usual serious expression on his face was not as cold and calm as usual. It was soft. It was Edwin.
Sharon thought, 'Didn't he just see Irene yesterday? Why is he here again today?
Sharon was puzzled. Moorwald and Rosaria City were an hour's drive away. It was not easy to travel. Not to mention that Edwin was busy every day.
"Mommy." As she was thinking, the two of them had already approached.
Irene's voice was sweet and crisp. She stood opposite Sharon and did not forget to raise Edwin's arm. "Daddy is here to pick us up. After saying that, she smiled, revealing two rows of beautiful baby teeth. Sharon quietly pulled Irene in front of her and said politely, "Mr. Stanley, you are a busy person. There's no need to come over every day."
Her words made Edwin frown. "No matter how busy I am, Irene is still my daughter. It's only right for me to visit her," he stuffed his empty hands into his pocket and said coldly.
Sharon thought, "Why does it sound like he is scolding me?"
Sharon secretly choked. She could not say anything and could only remain silent.
"Mommy, let's eat with Daddy again today." Irene shook her wrist and said loudly.
She was so short that she had to look up to see Sharon's face. It felt so good to have dinner together yesterday that she still couldn't forget about it.
Sharon was unwilling. "Your father is very busy. Don't waste his time."
"Since I am already here, it's fine to have a meal" As soon as she finished speaking, Edwin spoke.
Sharon fell silent.
She couldn't help but look at him. She felt that he had become strange recently.

Chapter 224
She thought, "In the past, he could not wait to stay away from me. Now, he is actually willing to eat with me? What is wrong with him? Is this premarital phobia?
Ever since she found out about the girl from the Reilly family, Sharon thought that Edwin would get married soon. As far as she knew, people with premarital phobia would have some very unusual behavior. However, Edwin had married once. Sharon couldn't understand why he would get a phobia of marriage.
"But I have already made food at home." Whatever his illness, she didn't want to eat with him.
Recently, her father, Ethan, was not around, so she took on the daily work.
Sharon could not help but praise herself for her foresight.
"Then let's invite Dad to our house for dinner, Irene said quickly.
Sharon didn't know what to say.
Ever since Irene got some benefits from Edwin, she had almost forgotten whose side she was on.
Irene was afraid that Sharon would reject her. She tugged at her sleeve. "Mommy, just agree, okay? Daddy must be very hungry after coming all the way here. It'll be very pitiful if we don't let him eat.
Irene had completely become a mischievous girl. When she acted coquettishly, she blinked her big eyes and pouted. She was cute and pitiful, making others impossible to refuse her.
Sharon opened her mouth, but for a moment, she could not say anything to refuse.
"If you don't have enough food, I don't have to eat. Irene likes me. I want to be with her for a while longer," Edwin, who had been silent all this while, said.
Sharon remained silent. She wanted to use this excuse to get rid of him, but he ended up coming up with an answer already.
"Alright." She could only nod. "However, I'm not good at cooking. The food I make might not suit your taste."
The latter part of her sentence was specifically directed at Edwin. It implied that when she was with the Stanley family, he would never taste her cooking. Edwin did not say anything. He walked to her other side and held Irene's hand again. "Let's go.
Sharon looked at him in embarrassment. Edwin held Irene's left hand while she held Irene's right hand. At first glance, they looked like a family of three.
She thought that Edwin always tried to avoid being regarded as her husband.
"Mommy, let's go." Irene waved her little hand again and urged her.
Her legs had already followed Edwin's footsteps.
Sharon turned to look at Edwin in front. He did not seem to realize that there was anything wrong with the way they looked. Unable to resist Irene's urging. Sharon could only follow.
In order not to appear too close, she deliberately took a small step back and took a big step out. In this way, she distanced herself from Edwin. The kindergarten was not far from her home. It was only two blocks away. Edwin did not drive. They walked all the way back.
Irene greeted her classmates as she walked. "Hello, Wynne. This is my father. Bailey, this is my father."
It was as if she wanted the entire world to know that she had a father.
Most of the students in her class had participated in the previous nursing home activity and knew Edwin, so it was not too embarrassing for everyone.

Chapter 221
What made Sharon the most embarrassed was that when they passed by the row of shops along the street, Irene introduced Edwin to every shop owner. Sharon was stunned speechless.
The shopkeepers were also very enthusiastic. "So this is Irene's father. He's so handsome!" After saying that, they all gave him a thumbs up.
They really felt that Edwin was handsome. Sharon silently quickened her pace and covered half of her face.
When they reached home, Edwin took out a pair of slippers and changed out of his shoes. When Irene was injured, he often came, so Sharon prepared a pair of slippers for him. After changing into his slippers, he turned around to help Irene take off her shors.
Irene's small body leaned against him, and her small hands rested on his shoulders. It was a little awkward to pull her legs out like this.
Edwin didn't mind. His well-defined hand gently picked off her shoes and then put on the pink slippers for Irene. His movements were slow and deliberate.
Even if it was something as mundane as putting on slippers and taking shoes off, he had done it with the air of a noble gentleman. After changing Irene's slippers, he carried her straight into the living room. Sharon's house was big. It was a loft. Although it was slightly inferior to the Stanley residence, Edwin wouldn't feel restricted by the space here.
Sharon only went out after cooking. There were two dishes and a soup on the table. It was not much. She couldn't really let Edwin stand there and watch them eat. So, she sighed softly and walked into the kitchen resignedly
She opened the fridge and took out some chicken breast. She placed the ginger and garlic in a basket and took out a handful of vegetables to wash them seriously. After washing the vegetables, she reached for the ginger. A well-defined hand landed under her nose, holding the ginger she wanted
Sharon was slightly stunned and looked up. She saw Edwin standing calmly beside her. He had taken off his coat and scarf, revealing a clean white shirt. The shirt was of good quality. It stuck to his body and outlined his narrow waist, giving off a sense of sexiness.
