Mr. CEO's Young Mistress
Chapter 38: Where Did She Get Her Stubbornness From?
Leonard's eyes immediately flashed with panic.
Never had Sharon ever shed tears in public!
Daniel and Oliver frowned as well.
Paul threw aside his concerns about Leonard and rushed to coax Sharon, who was still stuffing food into her mouth despite the tears streaming down her face. "Stop eating if you don't like it, alright?"
Sharon wiped off her tears with the back of her hand and continued to eat, not saying anything.
Paul felt his chest tightening.
He may have always teased Sharon, but it was only because he adored her, and was careful to never hurt her.
Seeing Sharon so upset, he felt just as troubled.
"Sharon, stop," Oliver said.
Sharon shook her head and lifted the plate up to sweep more crayfish into her mouth.
Leonard clenched his fists and stared coldly at Sharon. He snapped in a gruff voice, "Enough!"
Sharon stuffed the last crayfish into her mouth and returned the plate to the table. She picked up her own plate and started stuffing more food into her mouth.
Everyone else was at a loss for words and sighed to themselves, "I wonder where she got her stubbornness from?"
Leonard scowled and flung his utensils away. He reached out to remove the plate and fork from Sharon's hands and slammed them onto the table. Bending to collect her into his arms, he carried her out of the lounge, his face hard.
...
As soon as they left, the entire room fell into an odd silence.
Minutes passed before Daniel and Oliver collected themselves and went back to drinking as if nothing had happened.
Paul glowered at the two of them. "What the f*ck? How can they still drink after what happened?" he snapped silently.
......
A Grand Cherokee speeded along the asphalt road. Sharon sat in the passenger seat with her head resting on the headrest as she watched the scenery outside.
She had not spared him a glance since just now.
Leonard gripped the steering wheel with both hands. His face was stony, his lips pressed into a thin line, and he wore a deep frown that gave off an unapproachable aura.
Normally, it would have taken about forty minutes to get from Moonlight Pavilion to Coral Pavilion.
Today, however, it took Leonard less than twenty minutes.
The car stopped in front of the villa gates. Sharon, who had been silent the whole ride, immediately unfastened her seat belt, pushed the door open, and got out. She walked into the villa without looking back.
Leonard's hands clenched around the steering wheel as he stared at Sharon's retreating figure, his eyes blank and cold.
